Transforming the Judgmental Mind Week of May 18-23 , 2014
$650.00 – $3,550.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
Judgments of a reactive and often automatic nature are very strong in most of our lives, and also in the dominant culture. They can distort our perceptions, make relationships with others difficult, and undermine our work in the world. In this workshop, we will explore the nature of such judgments (and their difference from non-reactive discernment) and how to transform them. We will cultivate mindfulness, inquiry, and heart practices such as lovingkindness, forgiveness, gratitude, joy, and compassion. We will also explore the somatic dimension of judgments, the role of cultivating awakened qualities in transforming judgments, and how to cultivate skill in speech and interaction in the midst of situations involving judgments, whether our own or those of others. These tools will help us to preserve the intelligence and energy often found in judgments, using them for discernment and compassionate action, while working through judgments' destructive and compulsive aspects. The workshop will be held partly in silence, with periods of discussion (in small and large groups) and some interactive exercises, as well as optional one-on-one meetings with the instructor. Those attending the workshop will have the option of continuing with monthly follow-up sessions (most likely by phone) after the workshop.

And the session begins
The N. C. General Assembly gets back to work today for its short session – and as always that should make for interesting times in Raleigh.
Last year's session was dispiriting, especially to many of us in Durham and Chapel Hill. It was clear the electorate here had been out of sync with the mood statewide in the past two rounds of legislative elections. What we witnessed was retreat or reversal on a host of issues important to many in this area. Our legislative delegation was generally marginalized and its members found themselves scrapping for small victories amid a sea of corrosive legislation.
There are some slivers of hope the short session will be a bit less harsh. Pay increases for teachers and other state employees are high on Gov. Pat McCrory's agenda, and that may signal, too, a toning down of the rhetoric – and policy changes – so dismissive of teachers in the past two sessions.
But harsh budget realities will make the salary increases a heavy lift, at best. With revenue shortfalls as the backdrop and with the governor and others staked out on the pay issue, there's danger to other important programs. Legislators may be tempted to carve even further into the university system's already eviscerated budget, or to divert money from pre-kindergarten programs to find the salary money.
There's also some hope the legislature will be a bit less eager to jettison more environmental regulations after Duke Energy's coal-ash spill into the Dan River. The legislature almost certainly will have to weigh in on who pays for the cleanup there and of Duke's other coal-ash pits. There will be considerable pressure to let Duke assess its customers. Making its investors pay the prices seems a far more equitable outcome.
In some other areas, we'd like to hope the legislative majority will undo some of the past session's harm. We see little likelihood, unfortunately, that the legislature will revisit its rejection of Medicaid expansion or back off from its many initiatives to diminish the ability of towns and cities to manage their own affairs.
With state house and state senate seats on the November ballot, election-year politics are sure to figure into the debates and maneuvering on Jones Street. But with nearly half of the legislators unopposed and more facing mostly token opposition in carefully drawn safe districts, the election may cast less of a shadow than in those nostalgic days when there were more real contests.
One last point – those in the legislature that want to curtail the public's right to know the public business will waste no time. One of the first bills slated for a vote – today, for heaven's sake – would exempt Guilford and Mecklenburg counties from publishing public notices in local newspapers. They would be permitted to post them only on their own, government-managed websites.
That's been a bad idea in every iteration in recent years, and we hope the legislative majority will continue to stand for putting public notices where the public will see them.

Two Charleston stock promoters were arrested Wednesday and are accused of manipulating shares of a shell business that federal investigators secretly controlled as part of an elaborate sting.
Christopher R. Putnam, 37, of Vista Perch Lane and Christopher G. "Gabe" Nix, 34, of Needle Grass Drive were taken into custody and face charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, according to an affidavit unsealed Wednesday in support of a criminal complaint.
U.S. Magistrate Wallace Dixon set their bail at $50,000 each during a hearing in downtown Charleston.
The James Island residents aren't allowed to trade or promote any stocks, Dixon said. Also, their travel is restricted to South Carolina and Massachusetts, where the case will be prosecuted.
The alleged fraud took place between August 2012 and February 2014, and centered on a small Boston-based startup called Amogear Inc. Its stock has the symbol AMOG, but the shares aren't listed on a major exchange.
An unidentified cooperating witness who's seeking leniency in a similar case worked with the FBI, as did an undercover agent who briefly posed as the CEO of Amogear.
The business was described as a new clothing brand aiming to capitalize on the mixed-martial arts craze.
"The company plans to grow its existing product line consisting of athletic gear that will target MMA fans and those who live an active lifestyle," Amogear said in a news release this year.
It wasn't true, according to the FBI.
"While Amogear purports to be a sports apparel company, it is actually a shell company that was acquired and controlled by the FBI through a cooperating witness ... as part of an FBI undercover operation," Special Agent S. Vincent M. Chambers of the Boston field office said in an affidavit that was unsealed Wednesday.
He said the Charleston promoters orchestrated what is known in the investment business as a "pump and dump."
Typically, the Internet-based schemes involve the widespread release of false or misleading information about a company to inflate or "pump" the stock price.
The organizers and their associates then "dump," or sell their shares at a profit.
Chambers said Nix, Putnam, the FBI undercover agent and the cooperating witness, who had purchased all of Amogear's dormant stock in 2012, met in Boston to discuss the scheme in August 2012.
It wasn't until Feb. 9 and 10 of this year that several websites controlled by Nix and Putnam sent out the first "blast" promotional emails touting the stock, according to the affidavit.
The Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading in Amogear's shares on Feb 10.
In arguing for more lenient bail terms, defense attorney Stephen Harris said neither Nix nor Putnam profited from the alleged fraud.
Editor's note: Previous versions of this story contained the incorrect bail amount.

We've just published the latest article in our Zimbabwe Land Series, by Professor Mandivamba Rukuni:
The Constitution making process requires a deeper level of consciousness – that is –until we Africans are true to ourselves, and dig deep into who we are, and invest more effort and resources into what makes us who we are, then we will continue to be 'copycat' third class citizens of the world. In crafting an advanced society we have to rediscover what is best in our cultural arsenal and improve and modernize that into our contemporary Constitutions (written and unwritten), and into our social, economic and political systems. Unless we Africans rediscover our roots and heritage, and embrace and understand, and love that which made our ancestors survive and thrive for thousands of years – unless we understand how our ancestors succeeded so well in creating a dynamic society in the past, we cannot create a new, modern African society—no matter how technically savvy we are in drafting Western-style Constitutions.

Aquinas Upsets Manatee to Derail National Championship Run
FT. LAUDERDALE – The last time a Florida team had beaten a Cord Sandberg-led Manatee football team was back in 2010, when St. Thomas Aquinas routed the 13-0 Hurricane squad that was ranked No. 2 in the nation by ESPN. On Friday night, Manatee returned to Brian Piccolo Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale. Again they were undefeated, and this time they were ranked No. 1 in the country by all three prep polls, yet once again the Raiders would prevail.
Manatee once more started slow, jumping out to a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter, before Aquinas answered with a touchdown. In the second quarter, Houston-bound St. Thomas QB John O'Korn began to find his rhythm, picking apart the Manatee defense and leading another scoring drive. The Raiders offensive line managed to consistently contain a Hurricane D-line that was considered to be the best in the nation.
|St. Thomas Aquinas 35
|Manatee High 18
On the other side of the ball, St. Thomas also won the trench war, getting consistent penetration and minimizing the impact of Manatee QB Cord Sandberg, who struggled through the first half, before getting in sync later in the game, though not enough to turn the tide.
At the end of the day, the Manatee defense simply wasn't able to stop the momentum of a disciplined and consistent offense that dominated time of possession, while managing to convert in several pivotal third-down situations. St. Thomas Aquinas was able to run the ball at will, rushing for 304 yards to Manatee's 61, which allowed them to pass at leisure, without taking any unnecessary chances.
Nothing about the Raiders' performance was the sort of flashy, highlight reel stuff you'd expect to see in a win over a team like Manatee, which was perhaps the most impressive aspect – St. Thomas made it look almost effortless, as if they were running plays against their own second team. Manatee looked nothing like the dominant squad that routed undefeated Ft. Pierce Central 51-0 last week, and conversely, St. Thomas looked nothing like a team that could have lost to Miramar, who Manatee annihilated in the season opener.
The Raiders' defense took away Kinnan's vaunted spread option, and the Manatee O-line was simply unable to give Sandberg enough time to look to get the ball down field. RB Trevon Walters struggled with an injured ankle and left the game in the 4th quarter. Freshman Johnny Lang continued to impress in his place, but the 'Canes still weren't able to find the big plays needed to close the gap, never regaining the lead after their initial field goal, in a game that ended 35-18.
In the second, DE Blake Keller picked up a fumble and took it all the way to the St. Thomas 11, but the 'Canes failed to capitalize. It was that rugged stance by the St. Thomas D that seemed to reset the tone for the game and Manatee never regained the upper hand in momentum.
The loss ends an epic run in which Manatee entered the season ranked No. 1 in the nation, averaging nearly 52 points a game in their 13 victories. There will be no mythical national title, no back to back state championships, but still, no one can take away the incredible accomplishment that this class of Hurricanes have managed, or deny the thrilling excitement they gave fans in 2012.
Manatee loses a host of key players to graduation, including at least five who are expected to go on to play big-time college football next season. Yet needless to say, the 'Canes, who return such standouts as Demarcus Christmas, Trevon Walters, Johnny Lang, Raland Brewer and Marquel Hines will be back in the hunt in 2013. If they've entered the realm where a 13-1 season and a regional title is a disappointment, then that's only further proof of the level of excellence they've attained.

The cultivated tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, is grown worldwide for its fruits.
Tomatoes are native to South America, but were brought to Europe sometime in the 1500s, where they soon became popular and were exported around the world (Eu-Sol: Tomato history).
For a long time tomatoes were known by the name Lycopersicon esculentum, but recent work by scientists has shown that they are really part of the genus Solanum - as Linnaeus recognised when he first described the species. Today scientists and plant breeders all use the name Solanum lycopersicum for the cultivated tomato.
Tomatoes have divided leaves with glandular hairs that have a distinctive "tomatoe-y" smell. This comes from drops of fluid exuded by the cells on the tops of these hairs.
Tomato flowers are bright yellow and have at their centre a bottle-shaped cone of stamens where pollen is held. Tomato flowers are pollinated by bees, who grasp the anther cone with their legs and "buzz" to release pollen, which they then collect by scraping it off their bodies. Bumblebees are common tomato pollinators in temperate regions.
The fruit is green when it is immature, but when it is ripe becomes brightly colored. Most of the common types of tomato have red fruit, but the fruits can be yellow, orange, red, purple or multi-colored. Plant breeders select different fruit shapes and colours and cross the plants to create the many cultivated types we grow in our gardens (Eu-Sol: Tomato core collection).

Neither party has cash for student loan rate fixBy PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press | March 29,2013WASHINGTON Incoming college freshmen could end up paying $5,000 more for the same student loans their older siblings have if Congress doesnt stop interest rates from doubling.
Sound familiar? The same warnings came last year. But now the presidential election is over and mandatory budget cuts are taking place, making a deal to avert a doubling of interest rates much more elusive before a July 1 deadline.
What is definitely clear, this time around, there doesnt seem to be as much outcry, said Justin Draeger, president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. Were advising our members to tell students that the interest rates are going to double on new student loans, to 6.8 percent.
That rate hike only hits students taking out new subsidized loans. Students with outstanding subsidized loans are not expected to see their loan rates increase unless they take out a new subsidized Stafford loan. Students non-subsidized loans are not expected to change, nor are loans taken from commercial lenders.
The difference between 3.4 percent and 6.8 percent interest rates is a $6 billion tab for taxpayers set against a backdrop of budget negotiations that have pitted the two parties in a standoff. President Barack Obama is expected to release his budget proposal in the coming weeks, adding another perspective to the debate.
Last year, with the presidential and congressional elections looming, students got a one-year reprieve on the doubling of interest rates. That expires July 1.
Neither partys budget proposal in Congress has money specifically set aside to keep student loans at their current rate. House Republicans budget would double the interest rates on newly issued subsidized loans to help balance the federal budget in a decade. Senate Democrats say they want to keep the interest rates at their current levels but the budget they passed last week does not set aside money to keep the rates low.
In any event, neither side is likely to get what it wants. And that could lead to confusion for students as they receive their college admission letters and financial aid packages.
House Republicans, led by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, have outlined a spending plan that would shift the interest rates back to their pre-2008 levels. Congress in 2007 lowered the rate to 6 percent for new loans started during the 2008 academic year, then down to 5.6 percent in 2009, down to 4.5 percent in 2010 and then to the current 3.4 percent a year later.
Some two-thirds of students are graduating with loans exceeding $25,000; one in 10 borrowers owes more than $54,000 in loans. And student loan debt now tops $1 trillion. For those students, the rates make significant differences in how much they have to pay back each month.
For some, the rates seem arbitrary and have little to do with interest rates available for other purchases such as homes or cars.
Burdening students with 6.8 percent loans when interest rates in the economy are at historic lows makes no sense, said Lauren Asher, president of the Institute for College Access and Success, a nonprofit organization.
Both House Education Committee Chairman John Kline of Minnesota and his Democratic counterpart, Rep. George Miller of California, prefer to keep rates at their current levels but have not outlined how they might accomplish that goal.
Rep. Karen Bass, a California Democrat, last week introduced a proposal that would permanently cap the interest rate at 3.4 percent.
Senate Democrats say their budget proposal would permanently keep the student rates low. But their budget document doesnt explicitly cover the $6 billion annual cost. Instead, its committee report included a window for the Senate Health Education and Pension Committee to pass a student loan rate fix down the road.
But so far, the money isnt there. And if the committee wants to keep the rates where they are, they will have to find a way to pay for them, either through cuts to programs in the budget or by adding new taxes.
Spending is measured in numbers, not words, said Jason Delisle, a former Republican staffer on the Senate Budget Committee and now director of the New America Foundations Federal Budget Project. The Murray budget does not include funding for any changes to student loans.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that of the almost $113 billion in new student loans the government made this year, more than $38 billion will be lost to defaults, even after Washington collects what it can through wage garnishments.
The net cost to taxpayers after most students pay back their loans with interest is $5.7 billion. If the rate increases, Washington will be collecting more interest from new students loans.
But those who lobbied lawmakers a year ago said they were pessimistic before Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney both came out in support of keeping the rates low.
We were at this point and we knew this issue was looming. But it wasnt anything we had any real traction with, said Tobin Van Ostern, deputy director of Campus Progress at the liberal Center for American Progress. At this point, I didnt think wed prevent them from doubling.
This time, hes looking at the July 1 deadline with the same concern.
Having a deadline does help. Its much easier to deal with one specific date, Van Ostern said. But if Congress cant come together ... interest rates are going to double.

In her column earlier this week Ruth Marcus wrote this:
Don Graham's decision to sell The Washington Post was his reverse Sophie's Choice moment.
She had to decide which cherished child to save and which to send to the gas chamber. Don and the Graham family weren't forced to make an anguishing choice but did so anyway. They relinquished the newspaper they love in order to protect it.
If the comparison sounds hyperbolic, you don't know the Grahams.
Now I don't know the Grahams–but yes, the comparison does sound hyperbolic to me. Worse, actually. I for one would feel rather awkward explaining to my children why I'd consider the choice between selling a newspaper and sending one of them to Auschwitz to be a coin flip. (To be clear, the Grahams didn't use this analogy; Ruth Marcus did.)
Ms. Marcus herself is, she informs us, "reeling." The announcement of the sale of the Post to Jeff Bezos is "the day our earth stood still." And then she informs us of this:
My e-mail has been buzzing, my phone ringing, with family, friends, government officials, asking the same question: Are you okay? They don't mean economically. They mean emotionally.
The answer: Not really. Because, at least for me, after three decades here, this is a moment at once hopeful and ineffably sad.
Enough already. I understand the attachment one can feel to an institution and to individuals in that institution. But the Post is not disappearing; it's being sold to a new owner–an individual who is very wealthy and whom Don Graham carefully selected. This move was necessary and may, in fact, end up saving the Post from ruin.
Ms. Marcus illustrates the melodrama and self-importance that some (certainly not all) journalists are afflicted with. They live in a make-believe world in which they fashion themselves as shining knights, truth tellers, exposers of corruption, defenders of the weak.
Now I happen to like the Post as a newspaper. I'm one of the shrinking number of people in the D.C. area who still subscribe to it. I admire some of its reporters. And they are home to some outstanding columnists. But it is hardly a sacred, flawless, and fearless institution. It is, in fact, liberal in its orientation. It plays favorites. It tends to back down from speaking truth to power when those in power are of the left. And while Don Graham in particular seems like a fine man, the mythic personality some of his employees have created around him and Katherine Graham is a bit creepy.
In explaining to the rest of us why the Grahams have created such a strong bond, we're told a couple of stories, including this one. Fifteen years ago Marcus's book group was reading Katherine Graham's autobiography and they asked Marcus to invite Graham to attend. Take it away Ruth:
I send a note upstairs, preemptively apologetic. I'm sure you're too busy. Please do not feel obliged.
Perhaps 15 minutes later, a call from her assistant. That date doesn't work, would it be possible to do it the following week? Mrs. Graham came, and she stayed for hours. I think she enjoyed herself, but I also know that she did feel, in the best possible way, a sense of noblesse oblige.
And so like God descending from heaven to earth, the Great and Mighty Kay Graham deigned to meet with mere mortals to discuss an autobiography about Kay Graham–an event that all these years later is still seared in the memory and imagination of Ruth Marcus.
What Mrs. Graham did was a nice and commendable thing. But there's no need to invest in that act quite the saintly meaning that Ms. Marcus has. If you want to understand some of what's gone wrong with modern journalism, you should read Ruth Marcus's column.

McCarthy: Blame Senate, not White House
Newly elected House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Sunday the Senate, rather than President Barack Obama, is to blame for gridlock in Washington.
"I believe you can work with anybody," the California Republican said on "Fox News Sunday," when asked about his approach to doing business with the president. "The challenge has been Harry Reid."
McCarthy charged that on the watch of Reid, the Senate majority leader, the upper chamber has "not moved anything."
(WATCH: Sunday shows in 90 seconds)
"How do you even negotiate with the president if he doesn't have a bill on his desk?" McCarthy asked.
Should Republicans re-take the Senate in November, McCarthy continued,"It will be a new day for America, and a new direction."
The congressman was asked about a range of other issues, including immigration--he stressed that he wants to see the border secured first, before any other steps toward reform are taken--and the export-import bank, something he said could be controlled by the private sector, among others.
McCarthy, known for sleeping in his office, said that arrangement won't change despite his new title, arguing that he doesn't want to get "comfortable" in Washington.
He succeeds former Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who lost his primary in a major upset earlier this month.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Posted at: 12/11/2012 4:32 PM
A bit of Hollywood will be on the agenda at Thursday's IRRRB meeting.
The board will consider a new Film Production Incentive Program, which would reimburse companies up to $500,000 per production.
Commissioner Tony Sertich said that the agency is positioned to bring two film productions to the area in 2013.
One has already been announced. "Thanksgiving at Denny's" is a feature film that is planned for the Range.
The other project is a feature film, but no other details are being disclosed right now, according to Sertich.
The last time a movie was filmed on the Range was when "North Country" came to town in the early 2000s. It made an economic impact of $5 million dollars.
The meeting on Thursday will also be the final one with the current board members.

Rules overview
Which rules do I use?
- If you are just starting, please use the Quickstart rules (PDF, 3.8MB).
- Otherwise you can:
- Browse the comprehensive rules using the table of contents on the right.
- Search the comprehensive rules.
- The FAQs try to answer some of the more confusing questions.
- On the same page, a few cards have errata and clarifiactions. We try to keep this to a minimum but some cards are just awkward. Note that errata and clarifications are also given on the Spoilers and on Lackey CCG.
Finally, note that at the moment, keywords - especially those with rules meanings - have their own page.
History of the rules
Like all early CCGs, Rage didn't have very detailed rules. Then it had cards which were written horribly unclearly. So White Wolf issued FAQs. The most famous rule which they forgot to publish, even after the first FAQ, was "If no Combat Actions were played in a round of combat, combat ends." The resulting pile of unknowns led to house rules in pockets all around the world. However, as the Rage community has come together online, we needed a set of rules that worked for everyone.
During their time trying to take Rage forward, Azrael produced an updated rulebook and was used as such during its time on CCG Workshop. However, all this online play only highlighted all the rules gaps. The Revised Rules attempted to reorganise the rules into a logical order and to cater for all reasonable situations. In conjunction with megagame-changing cards in the fan sets, Revised balanced strategies (especially Frenzy) and bring some logic. It had three flaws:
- Some elements were unnecessarily confusing.
- It wasn't complete. More holes have been found since.
- It was just too long.
This is why the quickstart rules were created. Ideally there will be a middle ground at some point, making the complete rules for consultation only.

Yesterday, Steve Evans took over as manager at Rotherham United. Lifelong Millers' fan David Rawson here provides his reaction.
It's probably three-quarters of a mile, if that. It just feels further.
The red paint on the wooden gates at the back of Millmoor's Tivoli End has faded a little now. In places, it's flaked off, exposing grey undercoat and the wood beneath. The same goes for the narrow doors, behind which the old turnstiles stand silent. There's a silence as you walk across the forecourt towards the main road, the quietness of abandonment, of a place out of time, condemned to the past.
Turn right, walk for a minute. The road takes on a shallow slope here towards the natural basin formed by the river Don's flow over the centuries. And at the bottom of that slope you can see it, a thing of elegant curves and glass, almost beautiful, slightly out of place. A glance over the shoulder reveals a last glimpse of asbestos roofs and floodlight pylons, sentries guarding a ceremony taking place elsewhere. Then a deep breath and a walk down the hill, towards the imminent future.
The walk is not unburdened. There is a weight: of fragments of memory and shared experience, of the individual hopes and fears of thousands of people, yielded up to make something crucial of something fundamentally unimportant. There is a weight: of soaring joys, asphyxiating lows, of chances missed, opportunities all-too-infrequently seized. There is a weight: of identity, that indefinable quality that drew together individuals over the years to the place a few hundred yards down the road, and an almost incalculable distance away.
It's inherent in supporting a football team that you impress the qualities that you value onto the club you follow. The special magic of football is that it allows for the embodiment of every noble virtue (it's rare for supporters to overlay ignoble qualities onto their club, though football easily encompasses these, too), creating a shared sense of collective self as strongly understood as it is impossible to reduce to simple definition.
But let's try. Standing in the shadows of the home end at Millmoor, straining to hear the echoes of a century's cheers and cries, you can sense something of it.
We've never been flash or brash – (actually, we have, twice – once when we appointed Tommy Docherty as manager and promptly got relegated and once when Anton Johnson oversaw an extravagant lifestyle that club – and, it turned out, he – could ill afford and we nearly ceased to exist). Generally, any successes have been earned by honest hard work and graft, by taking cast off, under-rated or local players, improving them and making them greater as a team than the sum of their collective parts. We've accepted our place as a club for whom success is a welcome stranger rather than a familiar house guest.
At our best, we're the team that's made the most of what we've got. Millmoor was never the Nou Camp, but it could gleam in the sunlight of the first fixture of the season and its pitch could often stand comparison with any in the country. Players would arrive from reserve teams and find the form of their careers. Youth team players would come into the side and prosper, before leaving for better careers elsewhere.
At our worst, we've overreached and fallen flat. Relegation from the Championship with one of the smallest wage budgets ever seen in that league, nearly ruined us and cost us our ground and much of our dignity and respect. But we battled through the deduction of 27 points in two seasons, the loss of our manager and the entire coaching staff just as we seemed to be on the brink of something tangible and overcame the crippling disappointment of a play-off final defeat, to be in the promotion hunt going into the final straight of last season.
And then everything changed.
Or maybe it didn't. Maybe what we saw in the wake of a complete capitulation against Chesterfield ('Live on Sky Sports!') was the first glimpse of what we'd become. Ronnie Moore, his face taut with despair and frustration, lashed out at his players and was dismissed. Andy Liddell (hailed by the chairman, Tony Stewart, for his intelligence, his hard work, his commitment) took over temporarily, overseeing no real improvement, before being dismissed from the club on Andy Scott's appointment.
Scott, praised by Stewart for his hard work, his energy and his intelligence, oversaw a complete overhaul of the back-room staff, with people who'd been with – and stuck with – the club through its financial woes, culled almost overnight and replaced by an array of 'player development officers' and other curiously corporate sounding names.
Amid much talk of competitive wage budgets and ambition, Scott turned over a vast number of players over the summer and during the season using the loan system, but delivered only mid table form. Despite the chairman's disbelief at the "illogic" of the situation, Scott was dismissed, almost a year after Moore's departure.
The hunt for a new manager began again. The names linked to the job were credible, impressive even. Lee Clark was spotted in the stand at Don Valley. So was Brian Laws. Robins applied for his old job. Phil Brown threw his hat in the ring. Rumours linked Sean O'Driscoll and even Mick McCarthy. The chairman spoke of the quality of the applicants and how the draw of the new stadium had yielded some surprising names.
And at the fringes of the betting, in surprisingly persistent rumours, the name of Steve Evans.
At first, the link seemed to arise from nothing more than a series of interviews in which Evans was noticeably positive about the club (and especially its chairman). But then the local press started picking up the story and, just before the Easter weekend, respected local journalist Les Payne told us that his understanding was that Evans was Tony Stewart's favoured candidate. On Monday morning, it was confirmed.
Hollowness. A strange feeling, empty of strong emotion, but profound nonetheless. The clothes of expected outrage ('the man's a convicted criminal', 'he's graceless, lacking in dignity, not our sort of man, surely') didn't quite fit.
The dislocated feeling wasn't, it turned out, a reaction to Evans, as such, but something wider, deeper, less easily identifiable. It was this: my club had become the sort of club that would appoint a man like Evans to be its manager. Before now, the idea of it was just unthinkable, literally unbelievable. Whatever his qualities as a football manager, the club that lived within the perimeters of Millmoor, would not have entertained the appointment. I knew that club. I knew what it stood for.
This club was different. This club demanded success. This club boasted of the resources it would throw behind the new man, as if the millions of pounds of written off debt were no longer a matter of concern. This club would overlook everything about Evans' past except the record of lower league success. This club repented of nothing, regretted still less. This club was a more ruthless, unforgiving place, that spoke in terms of delivery and implementation, that had just signed its third three year managerial contract in two years.
In that moment, I thought again of the old gates through which you exited Millmoor. In my imaginings before, I'd assumed it was me walking away from the old ground, out and away towards the future.
But this time, it felt different.
I suddenly realised that I'd had it wrong, that the club that lived in that old stadium had turned its back on me. That club, and all that it represented, was dead and receding into the past.
I was to be left to stumble towards a future just down the road, but suddenly without any assurance of what I might find when I got there. And part of me wonders whether I should move at all, or stand still in the shadow cast by that empty, abandoned stand and remember. Part of me wonders whether that even that short distance from here to there is ultimately bridgeable.

text: Calixas Yachts Long time friends Montie Twining and Naval Architect Gregory C. Marshall had an ambitious vision to create the next generation of full displacement, classed, contemporary expedition yachts; ocean voyagers with brawn to match their beauty… Calixas Yachts. What began many years ago as a concept yacht dreamt up between freends, was the impetus that led to the formation of Calixas Yachts. Gregory Marshall, though not an owner, is an integral part of the company. His design excellence and 20+ years of naval architecture have helped Calixas create a premier luxury yacht for the 21st century. Calixas studied the most successful yacht companies in business today, and saw a niche in direct sales of displacement style spec-built yachts. A healthy spec-boat line will help to insure an owner of a resale market if they want to get out of yachting altogether, or move up to another yacht. Calixas Yachts will come ready to go, including most everything needed to leave the dock. Calixas will initially limit the scope of its business to MCA/DNV/ISO classed, resin infused, under 500-ton contemporary displacement yachts. Calixas plans to build its yachts at premiere yards around the world. One of the goals of the company is to be "green". Calixas chose the cleanest burning engines and generator sets it could find. Vacuum infusion, by its very nature, is a low VOC emitting process. A displacement hull design is inherently green. Calixas also pays very close attention to processes to assure the maximum hypo-allergenic benefits are achieved. Calixas endeavors to be environmentally conscious whenever it can. The first yacht in this venture is the Calixas 105, a brawny, modern expedition style yacht featuring all the amenities of a luxury yacht, but with a go anywhere, fear no wave design. It made it's debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in 2007. Click Here for News, Reviews, Images & Forums on Calixas Yachts ***

"This is not a matter of corporate governance. It's a question of whether she committed an act," said Michael Klausner, the Nancy and Charles Munger Professor of Business and Law at Stanford Law School, and an expert in corporate governance. "When someone has done something directly in violation of the law, on their own, where they are the actors, it's no longer an issue of governance."


text: Lucky to recover it. The front end was that out of shape because he locked the front wheel. I don't think he dabbed. I think his boot was dragged off the peg. My take is: Too hot entering the turn, it tightened up more than he planned. Right foot is hanging off the peg a bit, and is dragged off the peg when he increases his lean angle. Startled, he grabs more front brake and locks it momentarily. He must've had the wherewithall to let off the front brake, or he'd have gone down. Probably a fairly experienced rider who just got caught off guard with that particular turn. The fact that there is an oncoming automobile in the turn may have had something to do with it, distracting him for a moment.

A Wolf Pack football recruit has officially decommitted from Nevada.
CentralValleyFootball.com is reporting that Kevin Nutt made the decision to keep his college options open, but is still considering Nevada.
"I didn't want to limit myself to just that one school because I don't want to go there and end up finding out I don't like it and regret not looking at my other choices," Nutt told CentralValleyFootball.com. He added, "I want to take my trips to explore what other colleges have to offer me."
Nutt is a senior running back at Edison high school down in Fresno. He originally gave his verbal commitment to Nevada back in June. He was expected to play defensive back with the Wolf Pack.
According to CentralValleyFootball.com, Nutt is scheduled to take a visit to Colorado State this weekend.

Glee Burning Question: Is Brody Selling Sex As An Escort?
Guys, we love that Brody (Dean Geyer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) have such a mature and open relationship. They live together, but they're allowed to see other people if they want. Their main rule is that honesty is everything.
So, when Rachel hooks up with ex-fiance Finn (Cory Monteith) at the Season 4, Episode 14: "I Do" wedding, she tells Brody about it. And when Brody walks out the door of a high-end hotel room and stuffs a wad of hundos into his pocket, he... tells Rachel absolutely nothing about it.
Look, we realize we only got to see a few seconds of Brody's hotel room dealings. But here's the thing: There aren't too many reasons a guy would be leaving a hotel room with a huge wad of cash.
So what does it all mean? Well, the short of it is that we think Brody just might be a high-class escort. If he was paying for sex, he wouldn't be leaving with a wad of cash. (Plus, in what universe would Brody Weston ever need to pay someone to have sex with him? Have you seen that boy?)
Nope. College tuition is steep, and Brody is good in bed. We're thinking the prettyboy simply put two and two together, and found a way to pay his bills.
We guess that's capitalism for you.

California's Unemployment Stuck High As National Average Dips
By editor
Originally published on Fri April 5, 2013 5:04 pm
California's economy is a study in contrasts. The state's unemployment rate — 9.8 percent — is tied with Rhode Island for the highest in the country. Parts of the state are still suffering mightily from the housing collapse. But there are also large pockets of job growth and revival.

Austin Gomber named to Preseason All-Conference Team
Jan. 29, 2014
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University baseball team has been predicted to finish second in the 2014 Conference USA standings, as selected by league coaches. FAU ace Austin Gomber was named to the preseason All-Conference team in FAU's first season in the league.
The Owls finished 42-22 in 2013 and advanced to their 10th NCAA Regional appearance. FAU forced extra innings against the No. 1-seed North Carolina before falling to the Tarheels in the championship game.
"We are looking forward to our first go around in Conference USA," said FAU Head Coach John McCormack. "It is nice that the other coaches see our program as a good addition to the league."
Gomber, a 6-foot-5-inch southpaw, returns after a sensational sophomore campaign. His 8-4 record led FAU and his ERA of 2.97 led the Sun Belt Conference. Gomber tallied 103 strikeouts and walked just 28 in his 106 innings of work.
"That is a great honor for Austin," McCormack said. "He has worked hard and deserves it."
The Owls open their season on Saturday, Feb. 15 with a home doubleheader against Notre Dame. First pitches are scheduled for 1 and 6 p.m. at the FAU Baseball Stadium, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. For ticket information, call 1-866-FAU-OWLS or visit FAUSports.com.

LETTER: Congratulations to Jimmy Love
As a longtime friend, high school classmate and later accountant for Jimmy Love Sr.'s law firm, I can truthfully brag about Jimmy deserving all the praise which is certainly coming his way due to his most recent accomplishment — receiving one of North Carolina's highest awards, The Order of the Longleaf Pine. I am sure that former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker, former law partner who presented Jimmy with this distinguishing award, can vouch for all the complimentary statements I may make about this man.
This brings to mind another subject; Jimmy L. Love Sr. should run for governor of North Carolina in our next election. It is time to clean up Raleigh politics and move Pat McCrory back to Charlotte, along with his cronies. What a shining star Jimmy will make as our next governor. With some encouragement from citizens of Lee County, perhaps Jimmy will take time from his Saturday morning quail hunting and law office responsibilities and consider running for governor. It's never too late to say, "Yes, I will."
What are Jimmy Love's political accomplishments? There are many. He served in the North Carolina House of Representatives from 1967-1977, serving five consecutive terms. During that time, he was chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Also, he served two more terms in the House between 2007 and 2011.
Let's get the ball rolling. Talk Jimmy Love into running for governor of this fine state of North Carolina, now, before the GOP erases all good things the Democrats accomplished during the past 100 years.
