Doc Rivers is making trades exactly as you would expect a coach to. Trading future 1st for a chance to sign more veterans.
— Craig Freeman (@CraigFreemanNBA) August 29, 2014
That's why I'm completely against having a coach making basketball decisions. They can have input, but shouldn't wield all the power.
— Craig Freeman (@CraigFreemanNBA) August 29, 2014
With Friday's announcement that the Los Angeles Clippers had waived and "stretched" the newly acquired Carlos Delfino and Miroslav Raduljica, the Clips have essentially exchanged Jared Dudley, between $950,000 and $1.58 million in cash and cap space over the next several years* and a protected 2017 1st round pick for a future 2nd, and the right to sign three veterans to minimum contracts. If that looks like turning a dollar into four dimes, it's because that is an accurate description.
*at the time of this writing, it is not totally clear whether the released players salaries will be paid over three or five years
There are a number of problems with this deal. Though the purpose of the trade is clear, in terms of giving the Clips some wiggle room under the salary cap "apron" (essentially a hard cap imposed on any team using mid-level or bi-annual exceptions). However, even under those terms, this brief sequence of moves demonstrates some flawed thinking. Without going too deeply into any one fault, as reasonable minds can differ over the wisdom of any one transaction, here are the worst:
- With multiple teams having the cap space to simply absorb Dudley's contract (Philadelphia, Utah, Orlando and even the Bucks themselves), did L.A. need to take on salary in return?
- Why stretch Raduljica, a big man who performed decently in limited minutes last year, simply to "save" about $200k on another minimum salary back up big? Especially since the relief offered by waiving Delfino gave them enough space to sign two minimum salary vets.
- Timing: why the rush? Minimum-salary level players will be available any time between now and the trade deadline. That first round pick could certainly fetch more later in the season than it is doing now.
The last point is, in a vacuum, slightly unfair. The Clippers couldn't even invite enough players to have a real training camp prior to the cost-cutting and cap-clearing moves. Once backed into that corner, something obviously had to be done. Therein lies the rub, as the desperate situation calling for emergency action was completely foreseeable.
Signing Spencer Hawes for the mid-level exception and replacing the departed Darren Collison with Jordan Farmar were fine moves in isolation. Perhaps Hawes was overpaid slightly, but the Clippers's lack of any productive reserve big men was a severe issue in 2013-14. Meanwhile, Farmar might not have been worth invoking the bi-annual cap exception for as he might well have been available at the minimum. However, he was certainly worth more than 40% of Collison's salary. Unfortunately, both of these moves imposed a hard salary cap on the Clippers for this season.
Working backwards from that hard cap, it would be completely predictable that after signing first round draft pick C.J. Wilcox, using the full amount of both exceptions would cause the team to butt right up against that hard cap, with unfilled roster spots and unmet team needs still in place.
Coaches won't look much past the next possession, much less examine the cap and tax implications two seasons down the line, so it's not entirely surprising that Doc Rivers was more concerned with expediently solving the problems at hand at backup point and reserve big than strategic planning. In addition to his dual role as coach and GM, Doc's had some things going on the summer.
While the particulars of the Clippers's situation are unusual, the tension between the goals and responsibilities of the coach and the GM positions were completely predictable. The coach's focus is primarily inward, preparing the team on a daily basis for the next opponent, with perhaps an eye towards long range internal improvements. The GM is certainly plugged into what the team is doing, but from a much greater height, using this elevated vantage point to survey the league as a whole and steer the team over the medium-to-long term.
Even in the mid-to-late 90s, doing both jobs well was a near impossibility. Rick Pitino the GM sabotaged a lot of good things Rick Pitino the coach did in Boston. The Clippers's careening offseason follows up on some questionable moves in Summer 2013 as well, between the Eric Bledsoe trade and that offseason's choice of minimum salary veterans for the back end of the roster. Stan Van Gundy, newly installed as overall czar in Detroit addressed that club's glaring needs for perimeter shooting by pursuing deals of questionable (to be kind) value with Jodie Meeks, D.J. Augustin and Caron Butler, buying at the very top of an inflated market for range.
Advocates of the dual role point to the success of Greg Popovich in San Antonio*. But Pop is the exception which proves the rule, as he's consistently demonstrated himself to be a much longer-range thinker than more or less any other coach with his emphasis on resting stars and developing confidence in the entire roster over the course of the regular season. Of course, a prior track record of success is necessary for a coach to have the freedom to make those sorts of decisions, but the point remains that Pop is singularly successful largely because of his ability to see the forest for the trees, and to make decisions holistically rather than piecemeal.
*Though R.C. Buford has been the Spurs titular GM since 2002, Popovich by all accounts holds the final decision in most 'basketball' decisions within the Spurs organization. The two work well enough together that there has rarely if ever been reports of friction in terms of the San Antonio's decision making process.
The situation in Los Angeles is a shame, because with Donald Sterling ousted, the Clippers have a real chance to gain ground on the floundering Lakers for city supremacy. A championship is more or less a necessity for a that discussion to be fully joined, and with every erroneous signing and future asset squandered, that likelihood dims, even as the clock begins to tick on the Chris Paul/Blake Griffin/DeAndre Jordan core.
At the very least, the organization needs a strong front office presence who can force the big picture to be considered, and put the breaks on hasty moves. Absent someone willing and able to offer dissenting opinions, and the short-termism inherent in a coach making these decisions will be a severe impediment to the club's long term status as a top-level franchise.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 17, 2010;
China is quickly modernizing its military and has set its sights on extending its influence deep into the Pacific and Indian oceans now that the military balance with its longtime nemesis, Taiwan, is tilting in its favor, the Defense Department reported Monday.
In its annual report to Congress on China's military, the Defense Department said that the People's Liberation Army is advancing across the board commensurate with China's burgeoning economic power. Coincidentally, the report was issued a day after China's economy was recognized as the world's second biggest, eclipsing Japan's in size during the second quarter of this year.
The report listed numerous areas in which China's military is on the march. China is deploying a new class of nuclear-powered submarines equipped with intercontinental ballistic missiles. It is pouring money into space warfare systems and cyberwarfare capabilities. It is developing a "carrier killer" anti-ship ballistic missile.
China has "the most active land-based ballistic and cruise missile program in the world," the report said. Beijing "now possesses one of the largest" forces of surface-to-air missiles in the world, it added. And it has the "largest force of principal combatants, submarines, and amphibious warfare ships in Asia."
A decade ago, fewer than 10 percent of China's subs were considered "modern" by the Pentagon. Today, half are. Similarly dramatic jumps have been made in China's air defenses, the report noted, although naval surface forces and China's air force still lag behind.
China is also changing the way it thinks about its military, the report said. In the past, its military focused on guarding China's sovereignty, which implied that China's fighting men would not stray far from the country's borders. Now that thinking has evolved to a paradigm designed to protect China's interests, including economic interests, which span the globe.
The main focus of China's military modernization, however, remains Taiwan, the self-governing island of 20 million people that Beijing claims as its own territory. As part of its buildup to threaten that island, China is focusing on denying U.S. forces the ability to operate in that region by working on an anti-ship ballistic missile, strengthening its air defense, and building or buying more attack submarines, the report said.
Under the Taiwan Relations Act, the United States is obligated to provide weapons for Taiwan's defense; it is not required to defend Taiwan if it is attacked.
Still, the report was not optimistic about Taiwan's ability to defend itself against China. "The balance of cross-Strait military forces continues to shift in the mainland's favor," the report said, noting that by December, the PLA had deployed 1,050 to 1,150 short-range ballistic missiles in areas opposite Taiwan.
The Pentagon has been issuing these reports since 2000 pursuant to U.S. law, but this year's report is more ambitious in scope in that it includes a discussion of the Pentagon's views of China's broader strategic goals and U.S. officials' visions for relations with China.
As such, the report contained an important message to China's military, said David Finkelstein, a former U.S. army officer and director of China studies at the Center for Naval Analyses.
"Yes, the U.S. does want to have a military relationship with you. And, yes, the U.S. wants to expand the areas where the U.S. and China can cooperate," he said. "And, yes, the U.S. recognizes that there are serious differences between the two sides, but we can't deal with those differences if we're not talking with each other."
China broke off most military ties with the United States this year after the Obama administration approved the sale of $6.4 billion worth of arms to Taiwan. Since then, high-ranking Chinese military officers have lambasted the United States and its policies in Asia in unusually harsh language.

- All three end credit themes are from this station.
- "Don't Come Close" by Yeasayer is the end credit music for the mission "Something Sensible."
- "Sleepwalking" by The Chain Gang of 1974 is the end credit music for the mission "The Time's Come." and is also featured in the Grand Theft Auto V official trailer.
- "The Set Up" by Favored Nations is the end credit music for the mission, "The Third Way.".
- "Change of Coasts" by Neon Indian is the main theme of Grand Theft Auto Online.
- This radio station also plays during all Sea Races.
- "Shine A Light" by The C90's plays during Michael's drug trip on the mission, "Did Somebody Say Yoga?" It also rarely plays, usually after the before mentioned mission and can take well over an hour to play. Most players will only hear this song once or twice if at all.
- The band, HEALTH, previously scored all of Max Payne 3, another Rockstar developed title.
- The station seems to be part of the hipster subculture. The in-game files list this station as "silverlake," a reference to the real-life Los Angeles neighbourhood of Silver Lake (which Mirror Park is based on), a neighbourhood known for its hipsters and indie music scene.
- This is possibly one of Michael De Santa's favorite radio stations, as it is the defaut station when the player enters his Tailgater (alongside Vinewood Boulevard Radio and Los Santos Rock Radio).
- Songs from this radio station play in all Suburban and Binco clothing stores (no commercials).
- This radio station also plays inside the demo room of the Lifeinvader Office.
- The frequency 88.9 is almost certainly not a coincidence. 88.9 is also the frequency of KXLU, a Los Angeles radio station out of Loyola Marymount college that plays independent music and demos of up and coming artists, which hipsters would be fond of.
- One of the cut songs, "Animal" by Miike Snow, was already featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony rendition of Electro-Choc as a remix. The main album version was meant to be on this station.
- The song, "High Pressure Dave," is firstly a song in the album, The Music of Grand Theft Auto V. Thus the song is specifically for the game and it could be referencing Dave Norton and the pressure he is under with his corruption.
- "From Nowhere (Baardsen Remix)" by Dan Croll is featured in the PS4, Xbox One, and PC trailer for Grand Theft Auto V.
- In between songs, "Do You Believe" by Poolside, is played in the background.
- DJ George will sometimes mention a flood in Liberty City, and how it has 'washed away all the bicycles', this is obviously refering to Hurricane Sandy which struck New York City in late 2012.

Firefly Farm and Day Spa deploys its squadron of trained massage therapists and skilled aestheticians directly to clients' homes for high-quality pampering performed with an arsenal of organic products. After the staff offers fresh bottled water and imported lemonade, clients can exchange their expired skin cells for more fashionable epidermal layer during a high-frequency microdermabrasion facial treatment. The spa's fully vegan and organic body-scrub mask uses marine algae to help balance and moisturize the skin while working to expel toxins, free radicals, and freeloading hippie jewelry. For a more complete escape from a home's unfolded laundry, unfinished dishes, and stubbornly uncommunicative ghosts, clients can transform their abode into a day spa with the full retreat package. Lay back as a caring staff member pampers your visage with an indulgent facial, eases aching muscles with a professional therapeutic massage, and coddles tuckered-out paws or puckered-out mouths with a soothing hand or lip treatment.
The friendly staff at Bella Luz aims to exponentially increase the confidence of its clientele via beautifying services administered in a lush spa environment. Potted flowers, a high ceiling, and woodsy artwork give the space an airy, natural vibe in which customers can sip on a selection of gourmet coffee and juice while bracing beauty nodules for imminent improvement.
Stylist Stevie Burtchell calls on the professional skills she gleaned in cosmetology school to not only beautify her clients, but also teach them to be informed beauty consumers. She specializes in cutting women?s, men?s, and kid?s hair and offers specialized treatments such as color chalk, highlights, and updos.
When Carissa Ballard was a little girl, she revamped her dolls' hairdos and slathered her brothers' faces with her own special concoctions. Her youthful experiments gave way to an interest in alternative health and herbology and eventually led her to become a registered massage therapist with specialties in lymphatic drainage, reiki, and craniosacral therapy. When she isn't honing her massage talents in educational courses and apprenticeships, Carissa volunteers her skills as a clinical aesthetician to organizations such as Look Good...Feel Better, a nonprofit dedicated to boosting the self-esteem of cancer and burn survivors.
With such a diverse skill set, Carissa needed a place where she could consolidate all of her talents under one roof. Thus, she opened European Day Spa of Fredericksburg in 1998. As its name implies, the spa invokes the most luxurious corners of Europe, from the opulent interiors of Paris to the plush kneading tables of a Roman pizzeria. Its slate of skin-therapy and body treatments includes spa packages with add-ons such as carriage rides and rooftop wine preludes.

Nominate a White House Champion of Change for Climate Education and Literacy
Posted byon December 11, 2014 at 4:37 PM ESTCommunities across the United States are working to advance understanding of climate variability and change. Local leaders are helping to increase science-based understanding and awareness of current and future climate change, enhancing climate literacy in K-12 classrooms, on college and university campuses, and in parks and museums across the country.There has been tremendous progress to date, but there is still more work to be done.
A climate-literate workforce will be required for tomorrow's community leaders, city planners, and entrepreneurs to have the information, knowledge, and training to make sound choices and grow businesses in the context of a changing climate. That's why on December 3, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) launched the Climate Education and Literacy Initiative, focused on connecting Americans of all ages with the best-available, science-based information about climate change. This initiative builds upon a Call to Action around climate education and literacy that received nearly 150 submissions from schools, communities, individuals, and organizations across the country. These responses demonstrated the magnitude and diversity of efforts underway and articulated ideas for future action.
Today, we're asking you to help us identify and honor local leaders who are taking action to enhance understanding of climate change as Champions of Change for Climate Education and Literacy. These extraordinary leaders will be invited to the White House to celebrate their accomplishments and amplify their work to promote climate education and literacy as a critical step toward building an educated, next-generation American workforce that grasps the climate change challenge and is equipped to seek and implement solutions.
Please submit nominations by midnight on Tuesday December 23rd, 2014. Nominees may include the following types of individuals:
- Educators who serve as leaders in promoting and integrating best-available climate science into their classrooms.
- Outstanding students who demonstrate a high proficiency in climate knowledge and skills and leadership both inside and outside of the classroom.
- Young scientists who are advancing understanding of climate impacts and solutions.
- Leaders from, organizations that are developing high-quality, science-based tools, resources, and other learning opportunities for students of all ages.
- Individuals from place-based institutions (zoos, parks, aquaria, museums, etc.) that are effectively engaging visitors around climate change.
- Business leaders taking action to enhance understanding and awareness around climate change.

My grandparents came to this country from Poland with nothing but the clothes on their backs, a strong work ethic, and desire for a better life. Today, their children and their children's children are part of the backbone of this country. Because of the struggle of my grandparents, I can empathize with our employees at Blasch Precision Ceramics who are immigrants. We currently employ immigrants from countries all around the world, including Sudan, Yemen, Russia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many of these people endured – and still endure – the same challenges that my grandparents endured almost a century ago. We are passionate about providing our employees with tools necessary to becoming U.S. citizens.
The Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County have played a key role in opening the door of opportunity to those who work for us looking for a better life in the United States. Founded in 1968, Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County (LVORC) is a nonprofit volunteer organization helping hundreds adults, families, and children learn how to read, write in, and speak English. Blasch works closely with our local chapter to provide workplace literacy instruction to our foreign-born workers. We understand that providing this service has enormous benefits to both the employees and Blasch. Employees participating in these classes increase are motivated to contribute more to the success of Blasch, ultimately contributing to our bottom line.
As part of this program, employees are able to take advantage of citizenship preparation classes, civics classes, computer training, money management training, high school equivalency instruction, and math tutoring. Because of this extensive training, six of our current employees have received their U.S. citizenship.
We feel that it is important to recognize the sacrifices and struggles that our immigrant employees faced just getting to the United States. From the beginning, they have demonstrated a strong will and determination to succeed.
The sheer number of people that this program touches makes it a real feel-good story. Employees hail from war-torn countries seeking better lives. Volunteers give up their own time to help them prepare for citizenship. This is their award, too.
I have gotten to know many of our employees. They tell me about their families, their countries, how well their kids are doing, their hopes and dreams. I highly respect them and enjoy hearing their success stories. This award is their story, and it is the same beautiful story played out over decades by millions seeking a better life who have helped make America great.
Les Lak is the Vice President of Operations and Systems at Blasch Precision Ceramics in Albany, NY.

From the outside, managing a hotel may appear straightforward. We provide a comfortable place to stay for our guests and host major conferences and events. But if you scratch the surface, it's easy to understand why running a large hotel operation is kind of like running a small city.
The InterContinental Miami hosts 500,000 people per year. No matter who our guests are or where they come from, they all expect a high caliber of service and a comfortable environment. Making sure our hotel runs smoothly is a team effort. On any given day, more than 350 colleagues work on our property. Being located in a large gateway city like Miami, a large percentage of our workforce is made up of team members who – like our guests – come from somewhere else.
Because we view all of our colleagues as part of the InterContinental Miami family, we made the decision to help our non-native colleagues navigate the path to U.S. citizenship.
As a very fortunate immigrant who arrived in America from Ireland with a lottery U.S. Resident Green Card twenty years ago, I have experienced first-hand how the task of earning citizenship can be daunting and difficult. It just made sense to support the New American Workforce, a nonprofit organization who could facilitate the U.S. citizenship process for our colleagues and for the more than 8.8 million immigrants who are eligible to apply.
From organizing application workshops and civics instruction to helping individuals through the often confusing and expensive process for free, the New American Workforce fills a critical role in our society.
Since partnering with the New American Workforce in 2012, more than ten InterContinental Miami colleagues have achieved U.S. citizenship, and four more are on the path to completing the process within the next year. Citizenship allows these individuals to make long-term investments in their families, communities, and our local Miami economy.
It also makes business sense. Our hotel spends significant resources each year on colleague development and training. Retaining non-native members of our team through citizenship enables us to generate a long-term return on our investment while building colleague loyalty and helping us cultivate talent from within.
Our colleagues who have benefited from our program often ask how they can give back themselves. Fortunately, our hotel is involved in a number of nonprofit organizations that make it possible to help others in our community. The best example of this is our hotel's 20 year partnership with Make-A-Wish of Southern Florida, in which the annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball raises millions of dollars for the organization each year.
The partnership we have forged with the New American Workforce over the years has been a pillar of our commitment to people—the same people who are fueling our hotel's success.
Robert Hill is the General Manager of the InterContinental Miami hotel.

Posted byon October 30, 2014 at 1:01 PM ESTTeresita Wisell is being honored as a Promoting Citizenship in the Workplace Champion of Change.
Over 50 years ago, my parents left their home in Cuba to start their lives again in the United States with their young family. I was only a toddler at the time, but as I grew up, I joined countless conversations during which my parents voiced their appreciation for the welcoming spirit of the individuals who helped them become contributing citizens of their adopted country. My parent's courage and achievements have inspired me to "pay it forward", and I am honored to be named a White House Champion of Change.
Today, community colleges are strategically positioned to play a critical role in supporting the full integration of the thousands of immigrants that we serve every day. Through community colleges, new Americans can gain access to higher education, workforce training and English as a Second Language programs. Moreover, community colleges partner with local organizations, government, and businesses to create pipelines of education and services to the immigrant community that not only serve these individuals but enhance the workforce and support the local economy.
In September 2010, after several years of research and planning, Westchester Community College opened its Gateway Center, a multi-use facility that houses several academic departments and workforce training initiatives. The Gateway Center was established to serve as an educational resource to the increasingly diverse population of Westchester County, in which one in every four residents is foreign-born. Shortly after opening, plans were underway to provide free citizenship education to our English language learners, their families, and members of the community. In spring 2011, our Welcome Center began to offer these classes. To date, over 250 individuals have taken the citizenship education classes. Of those who have taken classes, approximately 60% have taken the exam and 96% of those students have passed. We are proud of our part in these achievements but want to do more!
Last summer, the college became the National Immigration Forum's first New York area partner in the New American Workforce project. As such, we have extended our role in citizenship education to offer classes to our eligible employees and collaborate with our business partners to support their employees through work-based English language classes and citizenship preparation. Collaborations like these help support the fullest integration of our county's residents and honor the contributions that immigrants make to our communities.
My parents are examples of such efforts, made by individuals who recognized the value of supporting their new neighbors as they sought to become citizens of their adopted country. It is in tribute to those countless "champions" that have come before us and to those "champions" with whom I have the privilege to work every day that I accept this White House Champion of Change award.
Teresita Wisell is Vice President and Dean for continuing Education and Workforce Development at Westchester Community College, SUNY.

Posted byon October 30, 2014 at 1:00 PM ESTJonathan Plutzik is being honored as a Promoting Citizenship in the Workplace Champion of Change.
We are grateful for the opportunity that our hotel, The Betsy, has had to connect with our community. In early 2009, we opened our doors just after President Barak Obama's inauguration and enthusiastically embraced his vision of a society in which citizens actively and effectively serve their communities and solve problems.
Over the past five years, through our Philanthropy, Arts, Culture, and Education (PACE) program, The Betsy has worked with local, national, and international organizations and has become a catalyst for energized discourse and collaborative change-making. While operating as a luxury hotel, we've been privileged to work with over 250 nonprofit partners in various fields. I have found that success comes when partners combine resources to reach goals together. The Betsy's collaborative model is an authentic commitment to the tenet that "every little bit helps." And our experiences underscore that truth.
The immigration issue hits close to home, both personally and professionally. My wife is an immigrant, as is my mother. And while my father was born in America, he did not speak English until he was 7 years old. Yet, he still became a Professor of English and an award-winning American poet. Our staff at The Betsy speak over thirty languages, nearly a third of our workers hold Green Cards, and many of our employees have pursued U.S. citizenship.
But these trends extend far beyond our business. More than 500,000 people in Miami, and eight million in our nation, are eligible to apply for citizenship. Many have been working here for years, filing taxes and contributing in critical ways to our economy; yet without citizenship, they are not able to become full members of our society. Like their predecessors, today's immigrants can and will play an important role in building a better future for all of us.
Our hotel was privileged to become the first business in the nation to field-test model of the Bethlehem Project, in which employers help their workers prepare for citizenship. We shared our experience to ensure that the program would be replicated throughout South Florida so that thousands in the hospitality industry would get the chance to pursue their own American dream. We're proud now that the program is spreading across the country.
Moving forward, I am excited about the opportunities for community partnerships in the world of hospitality, in the realms of immigration, and in the many other arenas needing our attention and involvement.
Jonathan Plutzik is Chairman and principal owner of The Betsy, a luxury hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.

Posted byon October 30, 2014 at 1:00 PM ESTKhadra Mohamed is being honored as a Promoting Citizenship in the Workplace Champion of Change.
It would be difficult for anyone to move into a new country and re-learn everything—a new language, cultural nuances, and social environment. I arrived in Ohio in 2000 amid a large influx of Somali immigrants to the state. There were no existing community-based organizations at the time, so a group of Somali women, including myself, met to form a community service organization to facilitate the smooth integration of the Somalis into their new home. Since then, the Somali community in Ohio has gone through remarkable transformations.
The greatest needs in the community were English as Second Language (ESL) classes, employment services, and housing assistance. We established successful partnerships with existing social service organizations such as the Jewish Family Services and educational institutions including the Ohio State University. We were successful in recruiting volunteer navigators and securing funding for English classes and job placement services. We also engaged in an effort to educate local elected officials and policymakers about the needs and aspirations of our community. One of the most rewarding aspects of the work that we started was that a significant number of Somalis have become U.S. citizens and have enrolled in college.
Somalis, wherever they are, have a natural gift for entrepreneurship. Somali women are particularly skilled at successfully starting and running small businesses. They even have a unique system, known in Somali as "Ayuuto," for raising capital for new business endeavors. Many Somalis have become U.S. citizens and have started successful businesses. Now, there are hundreds of Somali business in Columbus, Ohio alone.
This progress from a new immigrant community to locally integrated part of the Columbus fabric did not come easy. It came as a result of not only hard work by the community but also the embracing nature of the City of Columbus. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman believes that it is not just enough to be tolerant towards diversity; it is necessary to embrace it. That is why he created the New Americans Initiative, an office that gives immigrants access to city services.
To recognize the economic and social contributions of Somalis in Ohio, I proposed to the Board of Directors of the Center for Somali Women's Advancement that we start an annual recognition day for citizenship and entrepreneurship in Ohio on March 8—and they agreed. Now, every year, we celebrate the contributions of diverse women and call for a better society in which gender parity in politics, health, employment, family life, education, media, and culture becomes a reality.
This is a lesson for all of us that we need to take initiative and work together to accomplish real things; with this approach, we can turn brilliant ideas into impressive outcomes.
Khadra Mohamed is the President and CEO of the Center for Somali Women's Advancement.

"I wanted to select an invitation that coordinated with my son and his fiance's wedding invitations and I wanted the invitations to convey the casual feel of the backyard party we are planning.

"I love this card and use it quite frequently!! It is so easy to use as an all occasion card, and it just works best when you can't find anything else to work. I like how Shutterfly gives out lots of coupons and good deals, too. You can so often get your products very reasonably!!!"
"When I need to make a card this is one of the 2 I pick. Bc its a Great basic card that really is a good canvas to do ur own thng. Very customizable. Only thng to make better wuld b options to add a text bar, to add ur own sentiments on cover page"
"I have ordered SO MANY cards from Shutterfly and I'm always pleased witt he quality and color richness. I don't have a snazzy camera, but their printing is fantastic. Timing is usually faster than they quote too. I trust Shutterfly for the best quality. (The lighting was bad in this photo - but you get the idea of what we created.)"

Miami Beach mayor to run for City Commission
Long rumored to be considering another run for office, Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera Bower on Friday filed paperwork to run for City Commission Seat III in the November general election.
Bower is term-limited from her post as mayor, but the city's charter allows her to run for another commission seat.
When she was first elected mayor in 2007, Bower became the first woman and the first Hispanic in the city to win the position.

The cries of "Free CCP Abathur" have been heard. He's one of the growing number of EVE Online developers recruited from among the ranks of the playerbase, and in Abathur's case -- he's someone very well-versed in the dynamics of nullsec warfare. His dev blog "The All Caps Ship Blog" deals with changes CCP Games is making to EVE that have long been a hot button with the playerbase.
It's not surprising that capital ship balancing is a controversial topic among players of the sci-fi MMO. Capital ship pilots in New Eden have invested significant amounts of training time and in-game wealth into piloting these massive ships, be it carriers and supercarriers, dreadnaughts, or titans. Some of CCP Abathur's ideas on balancing capital ships seemed to be fairly well-received by the playerbase, but later proposed changes from more senior devs at CCP appeared to be taking the game mechanics in a different direction. (Hence the "Free CCP Abathur" meme.) Ultimately, some of the major capital ship changes didn't deploy with the Dominion expansion launch, but are arriving in EVE today.
Supercarriers are "now all about killing things", says Abathur. In fact, a full wing of the new Fighter Bombers that supercarriers can field will crank out a blistering 8000 DPS with max skills (while the Nyx can put out 10,000 DPS with the new drone type), he writes. Supercarriers are losing some of the capabilities that made them appealing though (Triage Modules and Clone Vat Bays), but their new role as anti-capital ship weapons should be interesting.
Also interesting is that Abathur presents some stats showing how titans are being used differently since Dominion launched, given that their massive area of effect attacks have been replaced by 'death ray' style single-target shots. Abathur writes that 6450 ships were killed by titans in November '09, pre-Dominion, while 406 ships were killed by titans in December '09, post-Dominion. He also lists the types of ships that titans have destroyed, with the new Doomsday blasts selectively/predictably unleashed on much larger targets than in the past.
Give CCP Abathur's latest dev blog on capital ship changes a read for more on how EVE's behemoths of the battlefield are evolving.

It'll be interesting to see how Motherships fit into the new capital battlefied. Also, no one is going to call them "Supercarriers", EVE players still use PDU's and BCU's, so we're obviously very slow to adapt to name changes.

Good thing this game company (CCP) is dedicated to making their PvP in space the best available in any MMO. I continue to be impressed. I don't think those of

Update on the Manta Short Kit :-)
I requested kit details to find the latest situation:-
From: email@example.com Sent: 06 April 2013 Subject: Re: Manta 1.5m DKG Short Kit Hello Mal, Thank you for your interest in DPCM / Aerowerkes and for your email. The Manta gliders I do are not listed on my website as they are not the main staple of my production kits. In regards to your question, the Manta runs $28.00 (USD) plus $16.75 (USD) S&H via First Class Air International. (UK was the requested destination). Estimated delivery is between 7-14 Business days depending on your customs department. The parts are cut on 8 sheets of quality balsa. A picture can be found here at the bottom of the page at: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...688041&page=31 I also include a CD with the plans. I hope this answers your questions.

Greetings Everyone,
Its been a while since I've posted on the forums and will try to address some current concerns. First off, the price increase from $25 to $28 is due to the increased cost from my suppliers. I always do everything I possibly can to keep cost down. Second, I take care of most of the duty taxes. Anyone who has purchased kits from me from outside the US will be taken care of, even if it means I take a loss. You shouldn't have to pay any more other than the kit cost and shipping. And Third, the Manta and some of the other gliders I do are not listed on my website nor do I advertise them. Word of mouth and the forums do that for me. Those wishing to explore the concept of bringing a full kit Manta to the market place should freely do so. I hope this helps answer some of the concerns. Regards, Dave |

My brother "Skip" and I enjoy genealogy. He's my expert regarding Belmont county, OH. We both take photos of tombstones, especially of family members. Some of the surnames are Bain, Bane, Blaine, Budd, Curtis, Giffen, Giffin, Griffith, Haines, Hepburn, Hinkle, Keyser, Long, Milligan, Pond, Spears, Shahan, and Terrill.
UPDATE: Skip started a GIFFEN DNA Group.
In addition to Belmont county, OH, we explore Ohio and Brooke counties in WV. I travel between Belmont Co and Columbus, OH. So, I make a few stops along the way, such as Cambridge or Zanesville.
I look for family tombstones across the country and try to link them back to Belmont Co., OH or Ohio Co., WV.
I have several GIFFEN / GIFFIN family trees at ancestry.com. There's my Giffen family which started with Robert and Mary (Bane) Giffen. Plus a family tree for the Andrew Giffin family. I recently started a Simon Giffin tree.
My ancestry.com tree name is "Terry Magyar"
More recently, I've added family trees for Giffens/Giffins in the following Ohio counties; Athens, Butler, Coshocton, Licking, Miami & Hamilton, and Ross County. Many of these Scotch-Irish lines can be followed back to the late 1700s, in Penn.
I presently live in Franklin Co., OH, but grew up in Belmont Co., OH.
Please contact me (use the EDIT function) if need an item corrected of if you have additional information regarding any of the these families.
I highly recommend the Cumberland Trail Genealogical Society's book "Your Guide to Belmont Co. Cemeteries". ($20 + shipping)

Ruth Giffin Tucker
Ruth Tucker is not recorded in the Evergreen Cemetery, Clermont Co., OHIO.
Her parents are buried in Evergreen Cemetery , Newport, Campbell Co., KY.
Since Ruth died in Newport, Campbell Co., KY, could she possibly be buried in in Evergreen Cemetery in KY?

You have the wrong birth and death dates on your submission to Find-A-Grave, according to the obituary that is posted. I believe you have his wife's birth and death rather than his.

Hi again...I just went back and finished reading your "bio" and see you are on Ancestry. I will send you a contact message and we can go from there. It looks like our families are a match and I would like to see the DNA matches too. My Aunt (Giffin also) will be interested as well.

Texas A&M Women Run Past Ole Miss 73-61
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Courtney Williams scored 26 points and Karla Gilbert added 21 with 10 rebounds to help No. 16 Texas A&M defeat Mississippi 73-61 on Thursday night.
The Aggies (21-6, 11-2 SEC) shot 48.3 percent from the field, with Gilbert going 8 of 10. Courtney Walker contributed 13 points and Jordan Jones had nine with six assists.
Tia Faleru paced Ole Miss (10-17, 1-12) with 21 points and 10 boards, while Valencia McFarland chipped in 12 with nine assists.
Texas A&M broke away from a 10-all tie with a 20-5 surge ignited by a three-point play from Gilbert. Williams contributed 11 points during the run, and the Aggies coasted to a 38-24 halftime advantage.
The Rebels opened the second half with a 9-0 run fueled by three baskets from Faleru to pull within five, but Texas A&M countered with a 10-2 surge to grab a double-digit lead for good with 12:43 remaining.

Iona Vineyards Chardonnay 2012

Professional Wine Reviews for Iona Vineyards Chardonnay 2012Additional information » |
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into full of surprises, full of delights.
Perhaps the most famous and well respected of all the wine regions in South Africa is that of Constantia, which holds many of the oldest and most traditional wineries in the country. Here, the temperate climate receives the Atlantic winds which cool the vineyards, and the fertile soil allows the grapes to grow to full ripeness, resulting in highly flavorful wines which are enjoyed around the world. Whilst Sauvignon Blanc varietals make up the most widely exported wines of this region, the rest of the country produces a huge and impressive range of wines, made up from varietals native to many different European countries. From excellent Champagne style sparkling wines, to aromatic fortified examples, fruity reds and refreshing whites, South Africa continues to impress and surprise, with modern techniques and technologies leading the way and producing exceptional results.

A man caught stuffing a headless swan corpse into his rucksack has said he did not know what bird it was.
Hasan Fidan, 46, was fined after an angler snapped him packing the creature into a bag at a beauty spot in Hildenborough.
Bob Morris, who runs a rod company at the Swan Business Park in Sandpit Road, Dartford, watched in horror as Fidan killed the bird.
The incident happened on March 18 at at the scenic 18-acre Bennett's Lake and police later found remnants of the bird in Fidan's freezer.
However the Evening Standard has spoken to Fidan who has revealed he likes the Queen "very much".
Yesterday (June 2) Fidan told the newspaper: "I did not know what type of bird it was.
"For me it was any type of bird. I didn't know the Queen owned them.
"I like the Queen very much.
"The moment the police told me what I did was wrong, I said I was sorry."
He was arrested after Mr Morris saw the incident unfold whilst he was fishing.
The 64-year-old said: "He grabbed the swan and sat down on it and then took out a knife and cut its head off.
"I was stunned - I couldn't believe what I was seeing."
Mr Morris, who is a volunteer bailiff, took a photo as Fidan stuffed the swan's body into his rucksack.
Thanks to the snap, police soon discovered the swan killer's identity and tracked him down to his home in Tonbridge 10 days after the incident.
Police confirmed the photo taken by Mr Morris was used to identify the swan-killer when he was spotted at another lake on March 28.
Mr Morris - whose book Carping Aside was published last year - said police had discovered the swan cut up into portions in a freezer at Fidan's home.
At Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court on May 27, Fidan was handed a £110 fine, with £85 in court costs and a £20 victim surcharge - a total of £215 - after pleading guilty to killing a wild bird.

The information that I have as of now, she had the following children: Dora Lee, Lucy Lugenia, and possibly one named Ardeny??? Could be more children but not sure right now. I have made contact with a cousin in Ga. that his aunt recalls alot of the info that I have. So far I am on the right track. Dora Lee married Albert Young Akin and they had 9 children, one which was my grandmother that passed away in Jan. 2000.

Munchkin Mama's Note:
You just cant go wrong with this tasty chicken dish. I would be proud to serve it to company, and yet it is so easy that it is great for any day of the week. Crispy and flavorful on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside...and a real kid-pleaser. Why not add some red potatoes in the same dish alongside the chicken (poke holes in them or half if large) and bake for an easy side? Lovely served with a green salad for a complete meal with minimal effort. Recipe easily tripled for OAMC. Enjoy! From the book: Don't Panic: Dinner's in the Freezer

I'm using a ReadyNAS Duo, running ReadyDLNA (16pre6), serving content to my PS3. Most things are working nicely. However, for a minority of my photos, the PS3 (when I sort by date) is reporting unknown date or is using the date modified/created instead of date picture taken.
The offending photos are scans of old prints, for which I manually assigned the Date Picture Taken tags. Most of my scans are fine, it's only some that are misbehaving. Windows Media Center gets the Date Picture Taken tag for these scans - only the PS3/ReadyDLNA setup is failing. I don't know if this is the fault of miniDLNA or the PS3 - any ideas?
Justin Maggard
MiniDLNA gets this information from the EXIF data. It will try two different fields when parsing this information. Maybe you are inserting them into yet another Date/Time field, and not the standard fields. Is there somewhere I can download a sample image that shows this issue?
Thanks for the super swift response.
In windows, if I click on Properties then Details, I can see the EXIF data, and the Date Picture Taken field is correct even on the misbehaving photos.
I am at work now, so don't have access to the photos. I will check the EXIF data again, looking for any patterns of difference between working and non-working photos. Plus upload a couple of the non-working photos to somewhere that you can access them from. Many thanks.
OK, 3 misbehaving photos here. The first two are reported as having no date. The third one is reported with the Date Modified instead of the Date Taken.
From looking at the EXIF myself, I don't see any clear explanation.
Justin Maggard
Thanks for posting those files. The problem is that the dates aren't being written to EXIF at all. They're being written to Adobe XMP, which libexif doesn't support. I may look into writing up some code to parse XMP, but it could be a while before I can get to it. If you know of some existing C code to parse XMP, let me know.
I had to Google Adope XMP, because I hadn't heard of it. I'm still a little confused because Explorer->Properties->Details reports an EXIF version of 0220 for those two nodate JPGs. I guess Windows must support Adobe XMP, and those file details are misleading in some way.
stedy6 has already pointed you to a free library, seemingly with XMP support. From my point of view, only a small percentage of my photos (maybe 3% or so) have this issue - I would be happy to just convert them from XMP to EXIF, if I knew how. I will Google for answers, but suggestions welcome. (The faulty scans are the ones I did under Windows XP, and used some free tool (can't remember what) to set the Date Taken field - it must have set it in XMP format. Latterly, I've just used Windows Photo Gallery under Vista, and all those scans are working fine with miniDLNA.)
Sorry, I rudely forgot to thank you for spending the time investigating. So thanks for that.
Justin Maggard
Unfortunately, exempi is c++ and also links with a couple extra libraries. A bit too heavy for minidlna.
But I've gone ahead and added some basic XMP parsing code. Please try with the latest code from CVS. I'm now able to get dates from the 3 images you posted.
Thanks a lot for that Justin.
But I'm not sure if I missing something - I don't have an environment for building a binary for my ReadyNAS Duo. I looked through the CVS archives, and I see that the build instructions are not particularly detailed. :) What Linux kernel/distribution (and hence GNU C libraries) should I be building against?
I would be interested in working on the MiniDLNA code. I would like to add the ability to group photos by Tag and by Month Taken (because I have thousands of photos, dating back to 1910, so the Date Taken category is unmanageable).
Justin Maggard
Instructions and links for QEMU are , or you can just install the latest addon package on the ReadyNAS forum.

The 16th-ranked Vanderbilt men's golf team will open its spring season today at the SunTrust Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla., at the Mark Bostick Golf Course. The Commodores tee it up with 13 other teams for the 54-hole event, which runs through Sunday.
"The start of the spring is always an exciting time for our team," said Vanderbilt coach Scott Limbaugh. "Our offseason focus has been on each player doing what they need to do to get better. We have been spending a lot of time practicing and we are all ready to go to compete. Everything we want as a team is in front of us and when we take the right approach mentally, regardless of where we are physically, we are a pretty good team."
The Commodores will be competing in the Gator Invitational for the first time since 2003, when Vanderbilt finished in a tie for fifth. Former Commodore player Brandt Snedeker led the way for the team, finishing in second place on the individual leader board.
"The Gator Invitational is a very prestigious event that we are proud to be playing in," said Limbaugh. "We always want to give our guys the opportunity to play in the best tournaments and The Gator is certainly one of those tournaments."
For this year's tournament, Vanderbilt will send freshman Matthias Schwab, junior Hunter Stewart, senior Charlie Ewing, junior Ben Fogler and sophomore Carson Jacobs. Stewart led the team in the fall, averaging 72.07 strokes per round and carding three top-10 finishes. Schwab placed in the top 10 twice, including medalist honors at the Carmel Cup.
