The Mis-Education of The Black Athlete
Lizz Robbins breaks down the plight of the black athlete.
It's that time of the year again, college graduation season. This is the time after four long years (five for some, shout out to the Super Seniors), when students are getting prepared to walk across the stage and make their family proud. When it comes to a large percentage of black athletes this day will never happen. They have been advised to make that jump from college to the pros early; due to "how high" they can go in the draft, and how much money they can make. A lot of these students take the jump, and unfortunately a lot has to do with their living situation.
Statistics from predominately white schools have reported close to 70% of white athletes graduate, compared to the 20% of black athletes who achieve commencement. It seems Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) are left off this list where the majority of their athletes do graduate. When you have a Black athlete who is interested in pursuing a degree, a lot of times he is discouraged from staying his senior year. So they take the money and leave. There are some who decide to finish school. I'm sure a lot of us remember Vince Carter, then with the Toronto Raptors, going to his graduation and being ridiculed for it because he had a playoff game. Playoffs? Playoffs? True, the Raptors lost the game, but isn't basketball a team sport? Maybe, he had an off game (a la LeBron…*ducks from Nikes being thrown by Cleveland Cavaliers Fans*).
Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently suggested that in order to earn an NBA paycheck the required age must be 21. If they aren't educated about business, etc., will it really help? You see the stories of the bankrupt athlete, but is it their age to blame? Is it their agents? Is it their lack of education? Or is it their upbringing? I think it could be slightly all of the above, mixed in with the strong attraction of fame. What I always see is that it's always focused on the black athlete, when you also have white athletes who leave school early, mismanage money and have children out of wedlock. So how about we put the focus on the broader picture? The bottom line is it's about the money, as long as there's plenty to be made, education will fall in the background. I say this about not only the black athletes, but about any athlete. Yes you have the talent, yes you have the money, but don't let society "play" you for a dummy (I did not mean to rhyme LOL). Get that paper…not just the green.
"A well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and of vice. The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness." -Ann Radcliffe

Customer Raves & Reviews
I will order from Magnet Street again!
Waking Beauty Foldover Pockets I ordered my save the dates and wedding invitations from Magnet Street. Save the Dates: I ordered the large save the date magnet with pictures. The finished product was amazing. We received so many complements as to the style and the quality of the magnet. I like the fact that they sent a proof first before they began production. Everything was lined up perfectly and the images were crisp. Invitations: I ordered my invitations in a pearlized paper, unfortunately the design that I chose did not print well on that type of paper. I called Magnet Street's customer service and they were extremely helpful, they checked with the printers and recommended an alternative paper as well as offered to reprint the invitations for free. I was so happy with their level of customer service! The young lady that I was working with offered to call me back, and she did within the specified time frame that she gave. Additionally, they review their orders as they are received and if they have a question about the order they will call you up and clarify as well as make any adjustments necessary. I would definitely order with them again, the reprinted invitations are beautiful and I am so please. One thing I will say, their online application is a bit tricky to use at first, but overall you have so many options for customization, you could get a bit overwhelmed, but you will get what you want. Additionally, I ordered 100 of both the save the dates and 100 invitations and I received extra copies, that was cool as well, maybe they were practice runs but never the less I had a few extra. Finally, their packaging is wonderful, everything comes packed with tissue paper and wrapped in plastic as appropriate and all tucked in a pretty "Tiffany Blue" box.
Beautiful card and invitation.
Modern Honeycomb Lace Foldover Pockets My guests have really enjoyed the card and it was nice to use the online program to design the card. Having samples were also great.
Beautiful Invites
Modern Honeycomb Lace Foldover Pockets I loved I was able to make our invites to fit our wedding style and in a great price range! It was more affordable than others and it was easy and simple to create exactly what we wanted. Great quality!
Gorgeous Invitation ensemble
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations The Wedding Invitation and all inserts are exactly what we wanted and the quality is awesome! We are receiving continuous compliments on how beautiful the ensemble is...thanks for a great job and terrific service!!!
Great for the price
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations My fiancee and I were very happy with the custom creation so our invites were different from any other customers. However we were not to happy about the delivery because we paid for writing on the back of the envelopes and it had none i was very upset because i had to go to a craft store and pay 20 extra bucks for stamps and ink pad. it was a good buy for the money to make it unique but please check the work so your customers get everything they ordered. i wouldnt have been upset if i had more time to send my wedding invites

I've lived in Toluca Lake for almost 15 years and just love it! I'm originally from Pennsylvania and have come to LA via Boston and Chicago. I work in the entertainment business (producing independent films and most recently writing a musical). I am a big traveller myself and have lived in London, Sydney, and Costa Rica. I recently staying in a vacation rental in New York City and had a wonderful experience, so I thought I would provide that kind of comfort and quality to other travelers coming to Los Angeles!
Kate purchased this apartment in 2005
I rented my guest cottage to the same person for the last three years. When he moved from the area, I decided it was an opportunity to furnish the place the way I always envisioned it being furnished (with the perfect balance of beauty AND comfort) and offer it to those looking for a home away from home when visiting LA.

Mazda's innovative i-stop engine-idling-stop system has won yet another award, this time at the lchimura Industrial Awards. While idling stop systems are now becoming commonplace due to the approximate 10% fuel savings they offer, conventional engine stop systems rely on a motor to restart the engine, whereas Mazda's i-stop restarts the engine through combustion: fuel is directly injected into a cylinder while the engine is stopped and ignited to generate downward piston force. Mazda's use of principles unique to the direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine restarts the engine in just 0.35 seconds, about half the time of most other competing systems, while minimizing noise and vibration and drain on the batteries.

When the British plug was introduced in 1946 it did not have great ambitions. It did not expect to travel the world, buried in laptop bags, forming awkward acquaintances with travel adapters. When burdened with a jet-setter lifestyle it fought back; peevishly shredding important documents, scarring laptops, and generally making itself a bulky, disagreeable yet indispensable travel companion. But after 50 years of dogged service, finally the old-fashioned plug could be heading for a revamp. The astonishingly simple "Folding Plug" design from British student Min-Kyu Choi, just won product design category of the prestigious Brit Insurance Designs Awards. Read More
With the Academy Awards just days away, movie fans online are increasingly discussing the ten nominees for best picture along with the five actors and five actresses nominated in a lead role, according to Nielsen Research. Nielsen spiders, records and monitors most open-to-web blogs, forums, groups and a whole range of social media to see which subjects command share-of-voice and makes this massive database available to companies as part of its suite of research offerings – interestingly, though the betting odds available from bookmakers doesn't quite mirror the share-of-voice, there's clearly a high correlation.

Many people want to do their bit to help save the planet, or to simply get fit, by riding a bike instead of using their vehicle. However, traveling on the road when the sun goes down can be off-putting for fear of not being seen by motorists. The Firefly light has been designed to address this concern by making them more visible. It uses a passive Infrared sensor to detect traffic approaching from behind the rider and projects light from flashing LEDs onto the back of the rider with varying intensity depending on the proximity of the traffic. The Firefly light is another shortlisted design submission in our ongoing series of the Australian Design Awards - James Dyson Award 2010. Read More
Now here's one out of left field. Despite the massive development costs of hundreds of new models by dozens of motorcycle manufacturers, and numerous landmark motorcycle launches of 2009, Suzuki's middleweight Gladius 650 has gained the most prestigious award of the Japanese market, taking the honours in the motorcycle category of the famous 'Good Design Awards'. Launched in the spring of 2009, the Gladius features a trellis-styled steel frame and a unique style but unlike most motorcycle award winners (generally assessed by sports oriented motorcycle journalists with added testosterone), it's not a bike designed for the racetrack – it is an entry-level machine aimed at people who want an all-round machine for economical and enjoyable road usage.

RICHMOND ŌĆö On Tuesday night, the town council decided to proceed with filing suit in Superior Court to change the Chariho School Committee membership from 11 to 12. First, however, the council authorized the town solicitor to send letters indicating the townŌĆÖs intentions to the Charlestown Town Council, the Hopkinton Town Council, and the Chariho School Committee. Richmond will file suit in early March if the other three entities do not respond by February 26.
HOPKINTON ŌĆö The future of the old elementary Ashaway School is still in question. Last September, after Crossman EngineeringŌĆÖs evaluation of the building revealed extensive deterioration requiring expensive repairs, the town council reluctantly concluded that the building should be razed. However, at Monday nightŌĆÖs meeting, Town Councilor Sylvia Thompson reopened the discussion and suggested hiring a real estate company to find a renter or buyer for the property. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just kind of last ditch effort. It should be low cost,ŌĆØ she said.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö Superintendent of Chariho Regional Schools Barry Ricci kicked off the budget season by presenting his FY16 budget to the school committee on Saturday morning at the Middle School Library. The meeting was the first of four budget workshops held by School Committee as it works to develop and approve a budget that will go to a public vote later in the Spring.
VIDEO: Tom Brady's 17 Yard Run Sparks Patriots over Miami Dolphins 41-13 Steve Buckley looks at Brady's 17 yard run. Bill Belichick , Drew Bledsoe and Rob Gronkowski comment on Brady's big play.
CHARLESTOWN ŌĆö On Monday night, the town council approved the preparation of an ordinance that would limit property taxes on deed-restricted low-income housing to eight percent of the gross rental income. Washington County Community Development Corporation (WCCDC) Chair Geoffrey A. Marchant explained that his group was applying for low-income housing tax credits for a total of 50 units of affordable rental housing in Charlestown, Richmond, and Exeter. CharlestownŌĆÖs component will be Shannock Village Cottages at 1639a Shannock Road that will comprise 11 low-income rental units.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö The stage was bare except for a single microphone on a stand, highlighted by a spotlight. Nearby, students talked quietly, each holding a slip of paper with the poem they had chosen to recite for the Poetry Out Loud Competition. Although theyŌĆÖd been practicing for weeks, on Saturday students recited their poems before Rhode Island Poet Laureate Rick Benjamin, who provided constructive criticism and coaching.
RICHMOND ŌĆö On Tuesday night, the town council revisited a participation agreement between the Town of Richmond and the Partnership for Rhode Island Streetlight Management (PRISM) that would allow the town to buy its own streetlights and, eventually, reap substantial savings. Because newly-elected councilors Charles More and Ronald Newman were not there for the previous presentation, Washington County Regional Planning Council Executive Director Jeffery Broadhead reiterated the project details.
For more of this story pick up a copy of The Chariho Times.
HOPKINTON ŌĆö Have you ever wanted to go back in time and experience home-cooked food, freshly-prepared from scratch? Now you can at Back In Thyme, a tiny, new take-out restaurant bursting with extra-large flavors gleaned from international recipes. Maryanne ŌĆ£MarneŌĆØ McNamara, chef-owner of Back in Thyme, said business has been brisk since the restaurantŌĆÖs opening on November 29. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had such a good flow of people everyday and then we have customers who have come everyday since weŌĆÖve opened,ŌĆØ she said.
HOPKINTON ŌĆö At MondayŌĆÖs town council meeting, Councilor David Husband moved forward proposed revisions to the townŌĆÖs Amusement Ordinance that he had suggested in May. Changes to the ordinance would create a two-tiered price structure differentiating single-and multi-event licenses for functions such as recreational gatherings and cultural festivals.
Husband said he wanted to change the ordinance because he noticed that the town charged the same fee for single and multiple event licenses.
KINGSTON ŌĆō WeŌĆÖre living in the golden age of surveillance. Or at least thatŌĆÖs the opinion of Bruce Schneier, an author and fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. Schneier is often touted as the ŌĆ£guru of computer security.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs surprising, itŌĆÖs incidental, itŌĆÖs largely a side effect of having computers so pervasive in our lives and in our environment,ŌĆØ Schneier told attendees at the University of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs Honors Colloquium Tuesday night.

I searched the forum and found several mixed reviews on Fisher & Paykel refrigerators, but none of the model numbers matched this particular one, so I wasn't sure if there was any new technology or if it's just a new number slapped on the last model with limited or no changes. I'm hesitant to order one without a bit more knowledge. Any added information out there? Their warranty isn't spectacular, but I'm not sure if it matters. I really like the depth of this particular fridge as well as the lack of water/ice. There are very few fridges that lack water/ice, and they are the only ones I'm interested in. If this isn't a smart purchase, are there any other fridges close in depth without water/ice with fairly good reviews? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've been looking at this same model, and think I'm going to go with it. There is a Bosch fridge that does have water/ice, but I guess you access it from the inside, because there's no water/ice spout on the door. The clean all-stainless look is similar to FP. Of course, the handles aren't as nice.... |
- Posted by mrsmortarmixer (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 14 at 9:08
I'm very tempted to just order one. To me, the biggest pros for no water/ice are: Bonus points for the flat front and clean look. I'm not a fan of stainless, but it looks like it's my best bet for getting what I want/need for the space. The biggest cons or concerns: |

Quincy Gems Give Away The Toyota Yaris at Their Game Saturday Night
We have been talking about it all summer long, and tomorrow someone will finally win the Toyota Yaris being given away by the Quincy Gems!
We have been talking about it all summer long, and tomorrow someone will finally win the Toyota Yaris being given away by the Quincy Gems!
If you haven't been out to see the Quincy Gems play this summer time is running out. There is only one remaining home game and that is Saturday when the Gems host the Hannibal Cavemen at Q.U. Stadium. That is also the night the Gems give away the Toyota Yaris to some lucky fan.
Mattingly Romanin has become a well-known figure on the baseball diamond. Unfortunately for him, it took a kick in the head from a wayward skydiver to become a household name.
The Hannibal Cavemen will host a special game on July 14 at Clemens Field. The Cavemen will play the U.S. Military All-Stars at 7:05. During this game, all veterans will be admitted free with their military IDs, and there will be special giveaways and fireworks following the game.
The Quincy Gems will have home games tonight, tomorrow (the 4th of July) and Saturday with all three nights featuring fireworks after the games conclude.
The Quincy Gems are presenting a benefit softball game this Saturday at Q.U. Stadium with the Adams County Sheriff's Department taking on the Quincy Fire Department. Game time is 6:30 Saturday night with all proceeds benefiting both departments.
The Quincy Gems have become famous for good times at the ballpark, good baseball and really good fireworks shows after some games.
The Hannibal Cavemen are once again hosting a series of fireworks nights following select games throughout the 2013 season. Three fireworks nights remain on the schedule: the June 28 game against the Quincy Gems, the July 20 game against Terre Haute, and the August 4 game against Danville, which will be the final home game of the year.
Tonight brings game one of the 2013 edition of the Battle Of The Paddle between the Hannibal Cavemen and the Quincy Gems. (Listen live by clicking here!)
There will be no baseball game in Quincy tonight as the game between the Danville Dans and the Quincy Gems has been postponed due to the heavy rains of today.

A Tumultuous Year in Books
This has been a tumultuous year for the book business, a time of profound change in the way books are distributed and read. It is no exaggeration to say that the widespread acceptance of digital devices and a simultaneous contraction of shelf-space in stores qualify as a historic shift.

I vowed to stick with this series until episode six but - - don't they always just getchya - - I really just have to keep watching, now. I want to see how next episode's infamous twist spills out.
Sure, I'm probably able to guess what that twist is, and I can probably picture it rather accurately… but that's not good enough. I've got to see it for myself. Serial Storytelling at its most diabolical, right here.
What makes it even more diabolical, actually, is that while the series has rolled along, it's just kept hitting all of the same general notes as KICK-ASS, SUPER, DEFENDOR, et al. However, it's gone to show that it really does all come down to execution; because even though Samumenco's stationary arsenal is an all-too-familiar gag, it still kept getting the chuckles out of me.
I guess it's because our hero is just so earnest as he uses these weapons. And that's the same reason I'm amused by all the sitcom shenanigans they keep unfolding with our regular cop friend and his Canadian Girlfriend. All the ridiculous circumstances he keeps finding himself in with Flamenco and Flamenco Girl are that much funnier because he's just so frazzled about having to deal with them. Upholding the cliché, character really does trump all else… even originality and inspiration, sometimes.
To hazard a guess, I'll presume that in the next episode, shit will get real when real-life supervillains start showing up. A wild idea, no? They'll either be more malevolent copycats, looking to join the fun, or they'll be legit evildoers who've been around for a long time. Samumenco's granddad has only be alluded to them in his journals, and they've been dramatized into cartoons throughout this whole, long sentai tradition… but they've always been there, and they're not happy about this do-gooder stepping into their business.
Am I getting warm?
Watch, "Capture Samumenco!" and decide for yourself, then read my comments about the previous episode.

Akbank TAS (AKBNK), a Turkish lender part- owned by Citigroup Inc., took advantage of foreign appetite for the nation's assets by selling the first lira bonds overseas, counting on central bank monetary policy to limit currency risk.
The Istanbul-based bank was said to sell five-year lira debt abroad priced to yield 7.5 percent yesterday after pitches to investors in the U.S., Europe and Asia, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, who asked not to be identified as the information hasn't been published. That compares with a rate of 7 percent for three-year ruble bonds sold last week by higher-rated OAO Sberbank, Russia's largest lender, its first local-currency issue to international investors.
Turkish central bank Governor Erdem Basci's policies helped send the lira's volatility to the lowest level since at least 1987 this month. Foreign investors bought more than $24 billion in Turkish stocks and bonds in the past year, helping drive the yield on benchmark two-year lira notes down 361 basis points to 5.83 percent yesterday.
The sale "is a chance for us to invest in an investment- grade name with nice pick-up over the government," according to Dmitri Barinov, who said he was buying the securities to add to about $2.4 billion in emerging European debt at Union Investment Privatfonds in Frankfurt. Akbank "may have looked north at Russia and got excited that so many Russian bonds in rubles are easily absorbed by foreigners," he said by e-mail yesterday.
'Very Attractive'
Akbank is rated Baa2, the second-lowest investment-grade ranking, at Moody's Investors Service, with an equivalent BBB at Fitch Ratings. That's two levels above Turkish sovereign debt at Moody's and one step higher than Fitch's ranking for the government.
At 7.5 percent, Akbank's bonds would yield 123 basis points higher than Turkish debt maturing in 2017, which yielded 6.27 percent at 5 p.m. in Istanbul yesterday.
"Even when taking into account the liquidity and corporate premiums, I can say it's attractive," Kaan Nazli, a senior economist at ING Investment Management Europe in The Hague, said by e-mail yesterday.
Paring Gains
The lira fell less than 0.1 percent against the dollar to 1.7683 at 7:30 p.m. in Istanbul yesterday, leaving it 0.9 percent stronger this year. Two-year yields rose one basis point, paring the biggest drop among major emerging markets over the past 12 months.
Basci has used an interest-rate corridor since October 2011 that allows him to vary borrowing rates daily to control capital flows and defend the lira. Three-month volatility on the Turkish currency fell five basis points to 4.60 percent yesterday, compared with a low of 4.42 percent on Jan. 15 and down from 14.4 percent at the start of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on 23 emerging markets.
The extra yield investors demand to own Turkish debt rather than U.S. Treasuries fell three basis points to 166 yesterday, compared with the emerging-market average of 254, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global Index.
Default Risk
Turkey's five-year credit-default swaps rose seven basis points to 131 basis points yesterday, compared with 144 for Russia and 173 for South Africa. The contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or cash if a borrower fails to adhere to its debt agreements. Rising prices show deteriorating perceptions of a borrower's creditworthiness.
Other banks will probably follow Akbank in selling lira- denominated debt abroad, according to Mariya Gancheva, a credit analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities in London.
Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS, Turkey's biggest lender, applied to sell as much as $3 billion in bonds abroad, saying they may be in equivalent foreign currencies or in liras, according to a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange yesterday.
The Akbank sale "is a first of its kind, which gives investors a good opportunity to get involved in the name through different instruments with different return dynamics," Gancheva said by e-mail yesterday. "It's likely to be followed."

A luscious layer of hand-stitched leather, upgraded carpet, and Alcantara covers the cost-conscious interior surfaces that are in the Corvette when it leaves GM's Bowling Green, Kentucky, manufacturing plant. The french seams (sewn in Germany) and color coordination are superb. Two gripes: it's a difficult climb over the foot-wide door sills and tall seat bolsters, and access to the seat adjuster is blocked when the door is closed.
The negative side of tuning someone else's well-engineered automobile is that weight inevitably is added. The addition of a supercharger, wider tires, heavier dampers, beefier brakes, a larger volume exhaust system, and a new interior bulks up the factory Z51 Corvette by 150 pounds, bringing the C16 to 3420 pounds. While the more powerful engine has no difficulty eclipsing the base Corvette's performance, leapfrogging the illustrious Z06 (505 hp, 3147 pounds) is a taller order. Both the C16 and the Z06 struggle to staple their horses into the pavement when launched from rest. Light the fuse in either car with more than 1500 rpm registered on the tach, and the rear tires melt down while you wait for evidence of forward momentum.
Walking the fine line between bogging the engine and frying rubber flings the C16 to 60 mph in four seconds flat and through the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds at a heady 125 mph. Z06s, 911 Turbos, Ford GTs, Ferrari F430s, and Dodge Vipers prowl this part of the jungle, so you'll need to practice your footwork before mounting a hunting mission with your C16.
Of course, there's a lot more to life than drag racing. Our measurements show that the C16 can't match a Z06's crack cornering and braking moves, but it does top the Z06 in third-gear passing by more than a second.
Figures aside, Callaway's rendition of the Corvette conducts itself with gentlemanly composure most of the time. The quivering idle and the supercharger's howl when you leg the throttle add a character overlay to the stock car's mild manners. We could, however, do without the booming exhaust resonance that peaks between 60 and 70 mph and then fades away once you reach 75 mph. The C16's brakes feel supremely confident and secure, even when applied at twice the legal speed limit. The steering and chassis balance are well-coordinated and support crisp turn-in moves and near-neutral, hammer-down tight-bend exits.
Thanks to the belt-driven blower beneath the hood blister, there's no waiting for the spurt of torque that's so handy for squirting through temporary holes in traffic. Cocking the tail wide on cue is mere adult's play. A day spent lapping two road courses at the Willow Springs International Raceway revealed a happy-go-lucky chassis that loves to drift through life with smoke boiling off both rear tires and the front wheels twisted to full opposite lock.
Sandwiched neatly between the Z06, which arrived in late 2005, and the factory's 600-plus-hp Corvette SS, due in 2009, the Callaway C16 is another grand chapter in the growing book of enthralling Corvettes.

Kurt DelBene will lead repair efforts for the troubled HealthCare.gov.
Former Microsoft executive Kurt DelBene will take over from Jeff Zients as the man in charge of fixing the troubled HealthCare.gov website. Zients will move on to the post of director of the National Economic Council in February.
"Kurt will provide management expertise, operations oversight, and critical advice on additional enrollment channels, field operations, marketing and communications," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. "The president and I believe strongly in having one person, with strong experience and expertise in management and execution, who is thinking 24/7 about HealthCare.gov. Kurt's leadership and management of HealthCare.gov will be in consultation with [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] Administrator Marilyn Tavenner and in partnership with the project's general contractor, QSSI."
Sebelius thanked Zients for his work in leading the repair effort, saying that "the site is night and day from what it was when it launched on Oct. 1."
DelBene starts Dec. 18. The swift appointment came at the urging of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who wrote a letter signed by numerous Senate colleagues, including Virginia Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, asking President Barack Obama to maintain continuity in leadership of the so-called tech surge. That effort has been in effect since mid-October following the disastrous public launch of HealthCare.gov on Oct. 1.
DelBene will be responsible for keeping the site running efficiently through the March 31 open-enrollment period. The job "will include a focus on increasing system stability, redundancy and capacity, and building on improvements to the user interface, while continuing to prioritize security and privacy issues in line with industry best practices," Sebelius said.
DelBene will be on the job when the hosting of HealthCare.gov transfers from Verizon Terremark to Hewlett-Packard.
DelBene's career at Microsoft overlapped significantly with the tenure of current U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel, who worked at the software company from 1994 to 2009. So far, VanRoekel has maintained a low profile on the HealthCare.gov issue, and any role he had in recommending DelBene was not disclosed in the HHS announcement. His office did not immediately return a request for comment.
DelBene, who retired as president of the Microsoft Office Division, had a 20-year career at the software giant. One of his recent initiatives was the launch of Office 365, the cloud version of Microsoft's popular business applications.
He is married to Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), who was elected to Congress in 2012.

Processing high volume intelligent business transactions of the type needed for HealthCare.gov is a lot more like the business space of Amazon and Google than Microsoft. Doesn't it make you say Hmm when you see an almost instantaneous appointment of a Congressperson's spouse who is a budy of the Fed CIO (a Fed CIO who has been notably assleep at the wheel on this one)?

We are expecting a freeze for the next few nights the lowest is expected to be 27F. Will my lettuce survive if I cover it? Do I need to cover it or should I just pull it all up and harvest it now? Or does lettuce handle short term freezes OK? I really don't want to harvest now but I would hate to lose it all. Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with lettuce. |

I cover it if it goes into the 20's and it seems to do fine. I grow it in containers on the deck and have taken them in a few times when we went into the teens last year but otherwise they stay outside. I've been to 29 this year already and didn't cover and they did fine. Happy Growing David |

Thanks David! Tally HO! |
Some of mine got bit the other night when we had that light freeze. I covered mine tonight and will leave it all covered 'til Saturday. I think it depends on what type ~ seems like the thicker-leaved varieties sailed through the freeze with no damage at all, but the thinner leaved types were damaged a little on the tallest edges. |
- Posted by wantonamara 8bTx (My Page) on Fri, Dec 4, 09 at 12:31
Depends on the type. Some lettuce can take the cold but not the frost, or so I have been told. So I cover mine till I know more about it. I have had some go through the whole winter but I have had some get bit on the first frost. So di we leave you just as confused as you were before having the qquestioned answered. |
Thanks for all of the info. I watered everything in real well and covered the lettuce with sheets. There were a few places that got a little nipped but all in all everything turned out OK and we got down to aroune 23F. |

Hi All
I have been an avid fan of this forum for the past year since I bought my new 'old' house. I have been renovating it in bits and pieces saving the outside for last. But Mother Nature had other plans and threw me a curveball in the form of a deluge last month. My house is on a flat 1 acre lot dipping towards my foundation and the neighbors' properties drain into mine. My lawn is perpetually soggy. My french drain turns on at least 4-5 times a day regularly and once every minute on a heavy downpour. Last month, my basement windows had water pouring down them. So, I have approached landscapers to regrade my property near my foundation. I am getting a quote for $ 3000 to regrade just my backyard and one side - maybe a 70 linear feet, 5 ft wide. As I am new to all this, I want to know if it is reasonable. The landscaper mentioned that it was an easy job as my soil was already very compacted, he just needed to add dirt. What do you think? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You have done well to research before laying out your hard earned cash. Do you know how the previous owners dealt with this problem? Is the neighbours house new? When you say "My french drain turns on at least 4-5 times a day" do you mean a sump pump inside a basement? How is regrading going to solve the problem? |
Hi shawn or seth, Is your neighbor's land higher than yours? Are you the lowest point of all the surrounding yards. Are you meaning that your yard french drains are flowing 4-5 time per day? and where do they flow to? Does your yard slope away from your house all around? If you are being affected by a neighbors yard runoff a perimeter concrete lined ditch may solve your soggy yard problem. Probably something your neighbors should have done. Additional un-compacted soil placed on compacted soil will not help the problem except increase the amount of soggy soil. Good luck with getting him to share the cost of the concrete/gunite ditch. Make sure to use wire-mesh reinforcing is used in the gunite JMHO Aloha |

Hi inkognito Thanks for the response. "Do you know how the previous owners dealt with this problem?" "When you say "My french drain turns on at least 4-5 times a day" do you mean a sump pump inside a basement?" "How is regrading going to solve the problem?" |
All the reference material I have access to says that the closest six feet to the house should fall away from the house to encourage surface water to drain away from the foundations. I note that you only have five feet to deal with so unless the grade continues beyond that the suggested regrading may not work and if it slopes up the other way from the point your new soil may be washed away especially as you say that the soil is "very compacted" and this will obviously have an effect on the permeability. Why is the old system not working now? |
- Posted by shawnseth71 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 26, 10 at 11:59
inkognito - I am guessing the water pooling near my foundation is due to soil compaction over the years. Water does drain away to the afore mentioned storm sewer in a couple of days after a huge downpour but not before it takes a crack at my basement sump pumps. As I mentioned earlier, the huge downpour of March had water pouring into my basement windows to my french drain. (Thank god we did not lose power). Minor rains like the ones we had yesterday and today do not create any problems. |

Hi lehua13 Thank you for your response. I am sorry but I had replied to this in detail and did not realize that it never got posted. So here goes.. "Is your neighbor's land higher than yours? Are you the lowest point of all the surrounding yards." The neighbors at the back of my plot are all on a hill and their runoff comes to my land first. I have a wooded area on my left which is higher too. My neighbor on the right is slightly lower than me. "Are you meaning that your yard french drains are flowing 4-5 time per day? and where do they flow to? " "Does your yard slope away from your house all around? " "If you are being affected by a neighbors yard runoff a perimeter concrete lined ditch may solve your soggy yard problem. Make sure to use wire-mesh reinforcing is used in the gunite " "Additional un-compacted soil placed on compacted soil will not help the problem except increase the amount of soggy soil. " "Good luck with getting him to share the cost of the concrete/gunite ditch. " |
You need to figure out the Riparian Rights in your area. Google that term and your county, state, whatever. For instance, here, where I live I can divert water around a building and on its way but I can not hasten or encourage it to flow other than naturally. figure that out w/o a lawyer! So, here a ditch hastens or encourages it but a curtain drain flowing into a dry well is OK. Never mind the dry well fills up and overflows into the adjacent property anyway. One is allowed, the other is not. That type of thing is what you need to know, before starting anything. |
Hi SS, Metaxa has a very good point. Some communities allow concentrated flow if it goes into a storm drain directly or a street but there are different rules for water flowing across land. Any grass ditch or concrete lined ditch concentrates the flow and usually empties into a catch basin drain system to the City/County drain system. The City/County grading ordinances at the permit dept. should spell this out. Does the neighbor on the right who is lower get everyone's flow in a big rain that fills your dry well? It sounds like he objected to every ones nuisance drainage water coming into his yard and got results from low-flow water by having your previous owner do what he did. You can't force him to help pay for the ditch unless he has changed his grading without a permit and you could get him into trouble. Take a drainage plan to the permit office describing what you want to do and they will tell you what you can and can not do. They may even help you with the design itself. Homeowner tend to get good help at these govt agencies. Businesses are another story. The gunite or concrete is just a wearing surface treatment for a permanent ditch. It lasts longer and stands up better to erosion(low maintenance) than grass or stones. It usually is semi-circular or vee-shaped. You would have it circle your house and end up in a box drain with large pipe to take it to the street or piped into the municipal storm drain catch basin at the curb side of your street. JMHO Aloha |
Greetings metaxa, long time no see. |
- Posted by shawnseth71 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 27, 10 at 18:11
Thanks to all of you for guiding me. I had no idea there were permits involved. Thanks for the gunite info Lehua13. I had not heard of it before. |

REGINA - Hundreds of Saskatchewan motorists are feeling the bite of the province's tougher new traffic laws, especially people who drink and drive.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) says over the past month police issued almost 900 sanctions for impaired driving.
These included licence suspensions and immediate roadside vehicle seizures.
Some drivers also had their vehicles seized for excessive speeding, driving unregistered vehicles and for texting or using cellphones.
In total, 515 motorists received license suspensions and 785 vehicles were seized for various infractions.
The new laws went into effect June 27 following sobering statistics that showed 134 people were killed in collisions on Saskatchewan roads and highways last year and 6,762 were hurt. (CKRM)
