Ilana Rozin, '13 – B.A. Theatre and History
"After graduation, I took on an internship in Directing and Arts Administration at Burning Coal Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm currently in rehearsal for three shows as either a dramaturge or director. In April, I will travel to London with the company as a part of their biennial tour."
Kayla Prestel, 2012 - B.S.S. in Theatrical Entrepreneurship
"After graduation, I was accepted into Touchstone Theatre's 2012-2013 Acting Apprenticeship where I devised and performed with the ensemble in their four mainstage productions. I was also cast in their NEA Tour of a three-person adaption of The Tempest. While at Touchstone I also gained experience teaching in their education programs, developing new marketing strategies and earned them funds through grant writing. I have enjoyed living in the Lehigh Valley, just an hour from Philly and an hour and a half from NYC. Currently, I am a freelance teaching artist, teaching everything from ensemble-building, to puppetry, playwriting, and even fitness and nutrition. I am in rehearsal for an original theatrical adaption of A.E. Houseman's A Shropshire Lad and am also collaborating with Doug Roysdon of Mock Turtle Marionette Theater and Anne Hills, national folk singer, on a puppet play where I will be playing the title role and lead puppeteer."
Maggie Schlundt, '12 - B.A. in Theatre and Economics/Business
"While at Cornell, I completed an Arts Administration Fellowship with Creede Repertory Theatre in Creede, CO. After graduation I returned to Creede Rep to work in the Development Department and shortly after was hired on as a full time/year-round Development Associate. I feel blessed to work here, where passion for theatre and human connection runs rampant. I thank Cornell for leading me to my new home."
Monica Brown, '11 - BA in Theatre and English, with a Spanish Minor
"I am currently working as a Production Assistant at The Goodman Theatre. I was previously a Floor Manager and Stage Management Intern at Goodman, and those positions led me to where I am now. My next project is Stage Managing for Albany Park Theatre Project whose production will be mounted at The Goodman. Over the past year, I have worked as a Stage Manager, Floor Manager and Production Manager at several storefront theatres in Chicago. Also, last May, I was invited to be an Artistic Associate with Pavement Group, a successful up-and-coming theatre company in Chicago. I feel that my experience as a Cornell Theatre major has helped me immensely in the professional world in my work as a stage manager. The exposure I gained to every aspect of the theatre process through classes and hands-on experiences has made me approach the work in a more well-rounded manner."
Amanda Kai Newman, '11 – B.A. in Theatre and Art
"Currently in I am in graduate school for my MFA in Costume Design at the University of Cincinnati, College Conservatory of Music. I graduate in April, it has been a fantastic 3 years in this program especially since leaving Cornell. Afterwards I then will be in a real costume job, somewhere in the world!"
Johathan Nadolny (Ton Ton) '11 – B.S.S. in Musical Theatre
"I moved to NYC with a fellow grad, Natalie Kropf, in the fall of 2011 after a summer stock apprenticeship with St. Croix Festival Theatre. Since then I have performed at an Off-B'way venue with Honestly Abe for five months as well as being a voice on the original cast recording. After I finished that project, I performed in a Fringe show as the lead in a musical called Super Side Kick, the Musical. w. Once our show closed at Soho Playhouse, I got cast in the National tour of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Musical as a Who child. It was such an amazing experience and I got the awesome opportunity to return to the 2013 cast, of which we are still touring until the end of the year."
Greg Redlawsk, '10 – B.S.S. in Directing/Performance
"After graduation, I moved to New York and found an internship with New York Theater Workshop as an Artistic/Casting Intern. Since then I've worked in various capacities with The Public Theater, HERE Arts, New Georges, and the Vineyard Theater. I also spent a year as a Teaching Artist with NYTW, where I am also the Program Director of their Intern Alumni Organization. In the years since that internship I've been involved in the founding of two independent theater companies, the second of which I'm still directly involved with as a director and playwright. I've had work presented by several independent companies around the city and have been a part of several readings/workshops at NYTW's upstairs space. Most recently I worked as a sound engineer on a production at The Public, and am currently developing several productions with That Toy Pony, a theater company I helped to found in association with fellow Cornell College alum, Natalie Kropf."
Lindsay Tornquist, '10 - B.A. in Theatre
"Since graduating from Cornell I went to FSU/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training. While there I was able to study abroad in London with world renowned teachers such as Patsy Rodenburg. In my third year of the program I became of company member of Asolo Rep Theatre and performed in "You Can't Take It With You" which won the Handy Award for best professional production and "The Heidi Chronicles" as well as the new play festival in which I was able to work with John Guare. I graduated from FSU/Asolo with my MFA in Acting this last April. Since then I co-starred in a feature length film "The Lucky 6" which was the first ever collaboration between Ringling School of Art and Design and FSU/Asolo. I am now pursuing my acting career in Chicago."
Hans Hinrichsen, '10 – B.S.S. in Theatre and Music
"During our summers at Cornell, both Lauren and I worked at Glimmerglass Opera (now Glimmerglass Festival) in the Electrics department. After Glimmerglass, we moved to Madison, WI where I was hired at Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) as a Technical Support Specialist. I currently specialize in the Eos Family of lighting consoles and work with the product development team."
Lauren Hinrichsen (Kimmel), '08 - B.S.S. in Theatre with a French Minor

Why is this in our collection?
Niklaus Stoecklin was one of a group of early 20th-century Swiss graphic designers, including Emil Cardinaux, Otto Morach, and Otto Baumberger, who originally trained as painters. While many of these early graphic designers celebrated the Swiss landscape, Stoecklin, with the Germans Ludwig Hohlwein and Burkhard Mangold, focused on manufactured and industrial good and products. Stoecklin studied painting at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich, Germany with Alexander Zschokke in 1914 and later at the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule in Basel, Switzerland, where Stoecklin absorbed the lessons of modernism. He created paintings that utilized basic, flat abstract forms and bold compositions, and incorporated these... more

As of Thursday, April 12, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — A farmer's market that brought thousands downtown to shop for fresh vegetables and fruit last year will return in late May, organizers said this week.
David Milliner, of the Southwest Georgia Community Food Alliance, told Dougherty County commissioners that the Albany market will start on May 26 and run for 30 consecutive Saturdays, wrapping up on Dec. 15.
"Things are going to be bigger and better," Milliner said. "We're going to have the event for more days and hope to have even more people participating."
This year, 27 different Southwest Georgia counties are participating in farm markets around the region.
Baker County has already launched theirs, while Sylvester is planning to start one May 5. In Tifton, a farmer's market will open May 19.
"It's a good opportunity for people to support local farmers while getting fresh fruit and vegetables that are healthy for them and their families," Milliner said.
Dougherty County Administrator Richard Crowdis praised Milliner and his group for running a great event last year.
"We didnt' receive one complaint the entire time and I think that the credit for that goes to Mr. Milliner and his organization," Crowdis said.
In order to operate as it has in the past, the group needs permission from the commission to use the parking deck next to the Government Center, which is why Milliner was before the commission Monday.

Let me acknowledge — sincerely — that I love wheelchair basketball. I would vote for candidates to public office who would provide funding for "inclusive athletics" and would be proud if my sons' schools offered such programs to their special-needs students.
Yet it boggles my mind that the Obama Administration, without an ounce of public debate or deliberation, without an iota of Congressional authorization or approval, could declare by fiat that public schools nationwide must provide such programs or risk their federal education funding. Talk about executive overreach! Talk about a regulatory rampage! Talk about an enormous unfunded mandate!

I just finished remodeling and expanding my shop to its current size (11' x 34'). Check out the video blog HERE.
I have been woodworking ever since I was a kid but started taking it seriously about three years ago when I acquired a few very nice pieces of shop equipment from my father-in-law as an early inheritance/wedding gift. He had hopes of setting up another shop but unfortunately no longer had the space for it. He was happier to see me make use of it rather than sell it for pennies. It was the greatest gift of my life.
From my father-in-law I received the Delta/Rockwell table saw, Delta/Rockwell 14" Drill press, Delta/Rockwell/Milwaukee 14" band saw, DeWalt 13" planer, and a small collection of nice hand tools. Next, I cleared out an old horse stables on my family's property and moved in. I hung pegboard and recycled old cabinets.
In the process of cleaning out the tiny "barn" I fond an old neglected radial arm saw rusting away in the corner. After I restored the saw it became one of my favorite tools in the shop.
Soon after I set up shop I started working at a used tool store near my house (a woodworker's dream) and the rest is history. I have built up my arsenal of tools over the past year mostly through the store, where I get a discount on already dirt-cheap tools and I generally get first pick of what comes in (don't hate me.) Almost everything in my shop is second-hand.
I spent a lot of time in the first year just working on improvements to the shop. I rearranged equipment several times. I had to learn how to be very neat and organized in order to fit in my tiny space. It is still evolving. For example, my router table has changed forms about four times.
Since my shop is tucked under the edge of a redwood forest, here is the view I have through the back windows:

Your comment about cleaning up after every stage sounds like my philosophy. I clean up between tasks to regain control of the shop and it is in those few minutes that I figure out my next part of the operation.
I just can't think straight in a messy shop.
I agree with the sharing, it is part of my philosophy too. As a craftsman is a part of my responsiblity to share the knowledge.

Here is a link to the PDF-file of Mennonite Central Committee's position paper on the death penalty. As bloggers across California debate the merits of the delayed Kevin Cooper execution, I thought I would do a bit more digging into the theological rationale for seeing capital punishment as inherently wrong and unChristian. It's worth looking at, especially this claim, which I have heard before from my fellow Anabaptists:
Christ's death on the cross, itself an application of capital punishment, canceled the Old Testament basis of shedding blood to testify to life's sacredness (Hebrews 10). Christ died that others may live. By trading places with the guilty and the enemy, by dying in the place of the murderer Barabbas, Christ closed off any sacrificial reason for the death penalty. Jesus did not die for some sinners. He died for all. Unless we believe that every person, whether murderer or not, is redeemable and must have the chance to be redeemed, there is no real gospel. Depriving a person of the possibility of reconciliation with God and humanity is the real tragedy of capital punishment.
(Bold emphasis is mine). Though the MCC pamphlet does look at the issue of the possibility of the innocent being executed, it wisely grounds its opposition to capital punishment elsewhere, in the gospel.
And for those who think opposition to capital punishment is an innovation for modern liberal Christians, I found this quote from Lactantius, a third-century Christian writer whom I vaguely remember from a graduate course in patristics:
For when God forbids us to kill, He not only prohibits us from open violence, which is not even allowed by the public laws, but He warns us against the Commission of those things which are esteemed lawful among men . . . . a just man (ought not) accuse any one of a capital charge, because it makes no difference whether you put a man to death by word or rather by the sword, since it is the act of putting to death itself which is prohibited. Therefore, with regard to this precept of God, there ought to be no exception…

The top 5 SEC storylines for Week 5:
- Doubting Alabama: The Tide's lackluster overall performance against Virginia Tech looks worse in the rear view, and Nick Saban's guys didn't look very interested against Colorado State until pulling away late from a 41-point underdog (31-6). A problem fixed with a thwacking of Ole Miss, or lingering issues?
- Mettenberger vs. Murray Mania: Ejected from Georgia, Zach Mettenberger returns a more mature person and a much better quarterback, leading LSU into a game that has South Carolina and Florida pulling hard for The Hatter. The result will go a long way in defining the season for Mettenberger and his former Bulldogs teammate, Aaron Murray.
- Buy or sell Arkansas?: The Hogs are 3-1 and averaging 246 yards rushing per game, and Texas A&M is giving up 5.9 yards per carry. But first-year Arkansas head coach Brett Bielema and Co. are coming off a loss at Rutgers and might have a hard time winning any SEC game except at home vs. Mississippi State.
- Defending the Gamecocks' defense: 11th in the SEC in scoring defense isn't where defensive coordinator Whammy Ward wanted to be three games in, but a younger back seven and growing pains go together. Saturday at smart and spunky Central Florida is a real test.
- "The Book of Manning": Excellent SEC Storied documentary on ESPN, with spot-on focus on the tie to the suicide of Archie Manning's father during his college years at Ole Miss.
The Clowney Meter
The NFL's 5 worst teams, and the most likely NFL draft destination for the South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney:
1. Jacksonville Jaguars
2. Oakland Raiders
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
4. Buffalo Bills
5. Pittsburgh Steelers
Bottom line: The Jaguars, Raiders and Buccaneers apparently need quarterbacks. That leaves the Bills – and, surprisingly – the Steelers as top Clowney possibilities.

Comments about Shure PG 4-Piece Drum Microphone Package:
The 4 piece set is great. Although you say it is application specific, this is not entirely true. The bass mic works great on a bass guitar cabinet and the tom mics can be used for guitar cabs. The quality is close to the sm 57s but they are much more versatile because of the size. The enclosed clips attach directly on to the drum rim which eliminates the need for stands, except for the kick drum, where you can use a low profile stand.

Norfolk State University's cheerleading team has been cleared of hazing allegations. WAVY-TV reports that a university investigation determined that the allegations were unfounded. The university has lifted a suspension of the cheerleading team's activities. Parents of at least two cheerleaders alleged in October that new members were put in a dark room for long periods of time or forced to hold weights. Norfolk State suspended the cheerleading team's activities while it investigated the allegations. The university's alumni squad performed during the football team's homecoming game in November.

Stallman is under attack for remarks he made, which are purported to be sexist. He has used the same or similar text many times before this but there have been no such allegations.
Suddenly, in the eyes of some, Stallman has become a sexist. But the timing, when it comes to attacking the man, leads one to theorise that there may be other motivations behind the attacks.
I have heard Stallman speak - he visited Melbourne in October 2004 and I attended his talk which was organised by the Victorian branch of the Australian Computer Society.
He is a good speaker when it comes to taking an audience through the history of free software and serious matters - but he doesn't know how to carry a joke. He is poor at getting his humour across and even that night in Melbourne his St Ignucius routine fell flat. Nobody knew what on earth he was going on about - and there were plenty of older people present.
Stallman, who is of Jewish background, is an avowed atheist. The offending remarks he made at the summit, according to what claims to be a transcript of the same, are: "Then if you become a hacker you can celebrate that by having a foobar mitzvah, a ceremony in which the new hacker stands in front of the assembled congregation of hackers and chants through the lines of the system source code. And we also have the cult of the virgin of emacs. The virgin of emacs is any female who has not yet learned how to use emacs. And in the church of emacs we believe that taking her emacs virginity away is a blessed act."
Many people have taken him up on these words and claimed that he was being sexist. GNOME official David Schlesinger has been the loudest, while Matt Zimmerman, (corrected) chief technology officer of Canonical, has been close behind. GNOME and Canonical have close connections and this may not be exactly unrelated to these attacks.
And then there have been others who have accused him of various things - of even sanctioning rape.
I don't think Stallman's remarks are particularly tasteful, especially in an era of political correctness such as the one we live in. However, to accuse him of sexism, when he has clearly explained what he meant to convey, is a bit of a stretch.

Inspector General for NYPD, New York Law Journal
Inspector General for NYPD, New York Law Journal
By Eric Lane, interim dean and professor of public law and public service at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University.
Throughout American history, public stress over security has resulted in aggressive law enforcement practices, often to the detriment of the constitutional rights of Americans. I met this dynamic head-on in the mid-1970s when I was counsel to the New York Assembly's task force investigating the state police's collection of dossiers on 500,000 New Yorkers who were not suspected of any criminal acts. This should have come as no surprise: during this same period, the Senate Church Committee's hearings revealed the FBI had kept files on a million innocent Americans and tried to disrupt the civil rights movement.
Fears of communism during the Cold War pushed law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and state and local police, to indiscriminately and often illegally collect information on law-abiding Americans. Fear generated by the bombing of Pearl Harbor led our government to imprison thousands of Japanese-Americans and was validated by the U.S. Supreme Court in Korematsu v. United States. It took more than 40 years for us to recognize the invidiousness of the internment and apologize for our actions. Today, Korematsu is one of the most reviled decisions in our law.
Now, fears of another terrorist attack have driven the New York Police Department to drastically expand its intelligence operations; it is now more like the FBI than the police department of a major American city. Its counterterrorism and intelligence departments have 1,000 officers conducting activities in 12 different countries with a budget over $100 million. Of course it is critical that the NYPD protect New Yorkers from terrorism. But how they do so makes a big difference in the framework of our constitutional democracy.
In 2011, the Associated Press published a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles showing how the NYPD spied on American Muslim communities. Documents show that the police's Demographics Unit monitored this population and built databases filled with innocuous details of their daily lives. With no apparent suspicion of criminal or terrorist activity, they followed people to the mosques where they worshipped, the restaurants where they ate and the offices where they worked. Agents infiltrated Muslim student groups at local colleges and universities and watched the websites of several others, including Yale, Columbia, and Rutgers University.
Such police activity crosses the constitutional line. It is, in effect, religious profiling. The basis for police actions are laid bare in its much-criticized report on "Radicalization in the West," which tells us that police are concerned with "unremarkable local [Muslim] residents" who might someday become terrorists. This position justifies the surveillance of every Muslim in New York City. Imagine if the police declared that they would spy on every Italian American in the city because they might one day join the mob. We would not stand for that.
The culprits in this narrative are not the police alone. Fault finally rests at the feet of our political leaders, who are too scared to put limits on the police department they are responsible for overseeing. Mayor Michael Bloomberg's stance is that what the NYPD has done was both "legal" and "appropriate," and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has pretty much echoed the same view. Public sentiment has fed their reluctance—many in New York support such monitoring. As James Madison warned, a danger in a democracy is the willingness of its elected officials to be "the mere instrumentality of a major number of its constituents."
But public and political validation should not determine how government officials respond to potential violations of fundamental rights. Our public officials are sworn to uphold the Constitution, not disregard it when it is politically difficult.
While the NYPD's current counterterrorism tactics invite equal protection litigation under both the federal and state Constitutions, city leaders can take a smarter, proactive, and cost-efficient, approach. A bipartisan majority of the City Council supports legislation that would create an inspector general to oversee the police.
As a recent report by the Brennan Center for Justice demonstrates, the federal government has dealt with the risk of abuse by intelligence agencies by imposing on them a system of oversight that relies on an inspector general. The FBI and the CIA have worked with this system for decades. The Los Angeles Police Department has an independent police board and inspector general, and has seen crime drop to boot. The NYPD does not have comparable oversight. We need to fix this.
History has taught us that we cannot give free reign to the police and intelligence agencies and expect that they will always abide by our Constitution. The pressures on them to prevent crime and terrorism will always incentivize police towards pushing the envelope of their authority. An inspector general would counterbalance these pressures. It's time the NYPD had one.

Reduce Single-use Bags in NYC
Plastic bags are designed to be used only for a short period of time, but their negative impacts are long-lasting. Even when properly disposed of, plastic bags often blow away onto the street or into waterways, where they become eye-sores, clog storm drains, and endanger wildlife. Our bill aims to reduce the use and negative impacts of carryout bags by requiring a 10-cent charge for carryout bags in NYC grocery and retail stores, and stores would retain the cost of the charge.

General Motors General Motors CEO Mary Barra took a huge leap for corporate transparency by announcing the acceleration of some recalls that GM had in the works anyway. It'd be best for her and GM if she does even more.
Barra's move to precipitate the recall of an additional 1.5 million GM vehicles after a stepped-up review won't do anything to protect the company from the troubles brought on by its glacial pace in recalling 1.6 million cars from last decade that suffer from an unrelated problem in their ignition switches.
Lawyers, regulators, media attention and the grieving families of at least 13 people killed in accidents involving the problem will ensure that the company is dealing with the fallout from that series of bad decisions for years to come, no matter what Barra does to attempt to correct the past.
But in ordering her team to give quick resolution to other, undisclosed safety concerns in GM products — to "bring them forward and resolve them quickly," as GM put it — Barra finally may have found a way to pivot toward the future in a meaningful way.
By doing more than just helping the company deal with an ugly legacy that festered under her predecessors, GM's new CEO can demonstrate the fresh approach to leadership that many had hoped for from her. Also, in looking forward rather than back, Barra may be able to separate herself perceptually from a problem she didn't create but must solve.
Still, Barra must do even more. To help GM move past this sorry episode and to lead even more definitively, she's also going to have to give more reasons for greater confidence in the company's transparency going forward. It isn't just food or restaurant companies that are being pressed to provide more glimpses behind the curtain these days.
That could mean something like creating a "blue-ribbon panel" of outsiders who could come up with recommendations for how GM can avoid such a tarnish again and create a stiffer new regime of safety-consciousness. No auto brand will ever become so transparent that it surrenders product and engineering secrets. But in giving such a body some room to work, GM could comfortably agree to a significant advance in the state of transparency.
Such a panel could comprise a few big names, include some members with relevant expertise, and ensure that all have unimpeachable independence and integrity. Creating a blue-ribbon commission also would bring in the collaborative approach for which Barra became known on her fast rise up through the GM hierarchy.
Despite the new start under the 2009 bailout and a fresh and groundbreaking CEO choice in Barra, there remains a good bit of "same old GM" in the new GM. And likely this isn't the last time that Barra or even her successor will have to help unwind a past that includes Roger & Me, "secret warranties" and other examples of culturally instigated obfuscation rather than transparency. Barra needs to keep moving strongly toward creating a different future.

How a Single Dad Uses Tech to Stay Emotionally Connected to His Pre-Teen Daughter
Fact: As kids enter the Sullen Teen Years, their parents become hopelessly uncool. Yes, even you. Even Jesse Lozano, and he's a radio DJ. Back in the day, that was the coolest job you could have.
Lozano, who rocks the afternoon drive for KIIS FM in Los Angeles and Star 94.1 FM in San Diego, seems to have figured out how to stay engaged with his pre-teen daughter as she grows up and his Coolness Factor continues to plummet to basement levels. Sorry, Mr. Lozano, but it's going to happen. Trust me.
The single dad and his 11-year-old daughter, Savannah, have posted a video of the two of them lip-dubbing rapper Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" for his Single Dad Diaries blog, and it has gone viral. Perhaps because it's getting parents thinking about their kids' music and online adventures in a different way. Perhaps because it shows kids that parents are perfectly capable of jamming right along with them. Maybe it's our way of meeting them halfway between Old Fart Road and the Information Superhighway, so to speak.

Plus, the song is catchy as hell.
During a quiet car ride, Lozano challenges Savannah to a lip dub of "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen, which it seems is not quite Savannah's cup of tea. She insists on cranking up "Fancy" and as the bass riff wafts through the car, it's obvious that this dad-daughter team is perfectly in sync. And the reaction from YouTube and social media commenters is unanimous:

It's more informal than in the corporate world, but NBA players have their own best practices meetings. They share recommendations on chefs, trainers, car dealers, mortgage brokers, party planners, clubs and much more. So why not free-agency procedures as well?
The past eight months have seen extraordinary movement from All-Stars and franchise players, mostly through free agency -- or, in Carmelo Anthony's case, a version of free agency that came in the form of a forced trade.
As the next generation of stars examines its options in the coming months -- the big names being Dwight Howard, Deron Williams and Chris Paul -- these stars can look at a series of different blueprints from those who have gone before them. Already, all three are being asked regularly about their upcoming free agency and there's little doubt they are already thinking about it and studying a plan of action.
There's a wide array of choices on how to proceed based on their peers' actions. Here's a look:
The LeBron strategy: Straight to voice mail
For his last five years in Cleveland, LeBron James was highly involved with most of the major moves the Cavs made. The team consulted with him on trades and some design features of its practice facility, and even occasionally altered its travel plans based on James' personal schedule.
But when it came to his contract -- the biggest issue hanging over the franchise during his final two seasons in Cleveland -- there was a striking lack of communication as it came to an end.
This was mostly James' choice. The team offered him a contract extension in the summer of 2009, but it pretty much just sat on the table. James finally and meekly announced that he would not be accepting it and that he would become an unrestricted free agent in 2010.
Less than a month into last season -- irritated by a question, ironically enough, about teaming up with Dwyane Wade in Miami -- James announced he would not talk about his free agency to the media. The truth was he didn't talk about it privately to the team or almost anyone else, either.
This fit somewhat with the team's plan, which followed the model the San Antonio Spurs used to re-sign Tim Duncan in 2000. That was to focus on winning, not directly on the free agent-to-be, and to create a desirable place to play, complete with perks. The hope was that all free agents, not just the really big one, would want to be there. That sounds like a good plan, but it also sort of ignored the elephant in the room.
When the season ended, James virtually went dark on the team. He didn't go through a standard exit interview. He didn't speak with the team when it decided to fire coach Mike Brown. He patently refused to get involved in the process to hire the next coach, and wouldn't take personal calls from the candidates themselves, namely Tom Izzo.
Sources said James simply didn't return almost all e-mails, texts and calls.
"When the Cavs looked back at it, they realized that they should have known what was coming," a league executive said. "He had been talking to them less and less and it got to the point where the only way to get at him was to text one of his friends and hope the message got through."
Team owner Dan Gilbert did have a brief meeting with James in mid-June but learned only that James intended to stay out of the coaching search. James also met with newly hired coach Byron Scott on July 3 when the Cavs made their free-agency pitch to James. But that was it.
Famously, James informed the team he was leaving when a business partner called a few minutes before he announced his free-agency plans on national television.
When it was over, the Cavs ended up making a sign-and-trade deal with the Heat. But with no leverage -- James wasn't signing for the maximum contract and didn't have to use a sign-and-trade to get most of what he wanted -- the Cavs were able to get only a few distant draft picks and a trade exception that the team hasn't used yet.
The Carmelo strategy: Have your people call my people
Perhaps because of what happened with James, Anthony's method of handling free agency was a polar opposite. Represented by the same agent as James, Leon Rose, Anthony couldn't have been more open with the Nuggets about his intentions nearly a year before he became a free agent.
A month after James stunned the Cavs, Anthony and Rose met with Nuggets president Josh Kroenke and told him Anthony was probably not going to sign the Nuggets' offered contract extension then or a year from then. Anthony and his representative said that he preferred to be traded and provided a very brief list of where he wanted to go: Chicago or New York.
What followed was a painstaking, uncomfortable and sometimes bizarre six months that were dominated by trade rumors and speculation. Also unlike James, Anthony regularly talked about the unfolding situation to the media. It got to the point where he was announcing, first from week to week and then game to game, that he planned to be with the Nuggets.
During the entire process, there weren't just general managers negotiating with each other, but owners talking to owners and Anthony's agent talking to other teams trying to create deals for other clients to be involved in the trade. All this occurred in the middle of a season in which Anthony was putting up excellent numbers and trying to personally stay above the fray.
Not even James, when comparing it with how his own situation played out, could believe how Anthony chose to deal with it.
"I was able to hide a little bit because it was in the offseason when it got heavy," James said. "He's still traveling, he's still playing games, he still had to put a uniform on and represent the Denver Nuggets I didn't have to see [the media] in the offseason."
Anthony's open lines of communication about his intentions didn't stop with his team. Despite being under contract with the Nuggets, he met with potential suitors to listen to their pitches, not unlike what James did as a free agent. In the middle of the season, Anthony met with the Knicks' and the Nets' ownership groups to hear them out.
It created an unpleasant situation for all parties, including some of Anthony's teammates who were constantly involved in trade rumors surrounding him. In the end, the Nuggets were able to execute a trade that allowed them to acquire several players in addition to a trade exception and draft picks.
"I'm not sure they owe him a thank-you card, but the Nuggets certainly have to appreciate what Carmelo did for them on some level," a player agent said. "By letting them know what he was doing, he allowed them to plan for the future and make a deal that helped them now and later. The Cavs didn't get that courtesy."
Anthony got what he wanted, which was never to become a free agent at all. He signed a contract extension last week, virtually the same one the Nuggets offered last summer.
The Amare strategy: The ball is in your court
Calling Amare Stoudemire's breakup with the Suns amicable may be a bit of a stretch, but his method of handling his departure left his old team with way more power than the Cavs and Nuggets had when they lost their stars.
Like the Cavs and Nuggets, the Suns tried to avoid letting their star ever hit free agency by offering him a contract extension midway through last season. The final talks took place near the trade deadline, as the team was trying to decide whether to trade him then. The sides seemed to have a fundamental disagreement on what Stoudemire's market value would be after serious knee and eye injuries earlier in his career.
Stoudemire made it clear that his preference was to stay in Phoenix. He just wanted to be paid what he perceived to be his market value. That would be a fully guaranteed maximum contract, despite his injury issues with both knees. The two sides were far apart on those numbers in February and equally separated in July.
Though he was recruited hard by the Knicks and had a desire to play in a large market, Stoudemire gave the Suns a chance to match the offer made to him. Had the Suns done so, there is a strong chance Stoudemire would still be playing in Phoenix today.
But the Suns didn't really come close. The Knicks offered that full guarantee of $100 million he was expecting. The Suns offered about $40 million less guaranteed with incentives that could have earned Stoudemire the rest if he stayed healthy. Making the easy decision, Stoudemire took the better deal in New York.
When James left Cleveland, team owner Dan Gilbert wrote an open letter in which he called James' acts a "cowardly betrayal," among other things. When Anthony left Denver, team general manager Masai Ujiri said he felt his team "got killed in the trade."
When Stoudemire left Phoenix, team owner Robert Sarver released a letter thanking him and hoping that the Suns could honor him someday in their Ring of Honor. Different circumstances indeed.
The Durant strategy: Hook, line and sinker
Technically, Thunder star Kevin Durant has yet to be a free agent. But that wasn't the way Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti saw it last summer. In the first minutes of free agency on July 1, the Thunder reached out to Durant to offer him a contract extension at the first legal moment.
Durant was under contract for this current season and then would be a restricted free agent. There was no rush on a deal in July; Durant had until Oct. 31 to decide whether to take the offer. But the Thunder approached him as if he was the biggest free-agent priority in team history. In many ways, he was.
That tactic worked, and in ways that stunned some in the league. Not only did Durant take the offer virtually on the spot, but he announced his intentions not on television, with a news conference or with a press release -- but on his Twitter account.
Not wanting to test the market or see how the Thunder's young core developed for a season before locking himself in, Durant signed for five years for what is expected to be about $85 million.
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the outcome to many teams and agents was that Durant did not want an option at the end of the deal to get out early. These options are virtually standard for any player getting more than a three-year deal. Durant could have requested, and almost certainly received, a chance to opt out of the new deal after four years.
James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh secured options after the fourth and fifth years of their six-year deals. Stoudemire and Anthony, both of whom were thrilled to get long-term security in a place where they wanted to play, still got opt-outs at the end of their new contracts.
But not Durant, even though he was playing in one of the league's smallest markets with teammates who were still mostly unproven. He even said he would have signed a 10-year extension if it was currently permitted under league rules.
It was a complete and total commitment in a time of unprecedented movement from the league's stars. So much that Durant's move established its own precedent.

The city of Crowley's ordinance requiring businesses and residences with monitored alarms system to have a permit, which went into effect Oct. 1, has been put on hold until Nov. 1, Crowley Interim City Manager Robert Loftin said.
"We had some technical difficulties with the third party we are using in getting everything set up and getting everything orchestrated so they could bill properly and get the permits over properly," Loftin said.
PMAM Copsource was approved by the City Council for the administration and collection of the registration of the alarm permits and the fines for false alarms.
In early August, the City Council voted unanimously to require those in the city with monitored alarm systems to purchase a yearly permit for $50 as well as possibly face fines for false alarms responded to by police officers.
"We don't want to hold people accountable, even though the ordinance says Oct. 1 when (residents) could make the effort to get it done, but we weren't ready to get it going," Loftin said.
Last year, the Crowley Police Department responded to 532 alarm calls and 429 of those were false alarms. A total of 102 were directed to the fire department and only three were confirmed break-ins.
The new ordinance allows the city to collect for false alarms: 1-3, $0; 4-5 $50 per incident; 6-7, $75 per incident; 8-9, $100 per incident and 10 or more, $100 and police response will be revoked.
"Once we get it all worked out and up and running the ordinance will continue as is," Loftin said.
"(The ordinance) is still applicable, but we're not going to enforce it until we get everything situated that makes it fair and reasonable to enforce."

The golf course at the Gary Player Country Club, since its opening in 1979, has been acknowledged as South Africa's premier championship test of golf.
The home of the Nedbank Golf Challenge since 1981, this immaculately groomed layout has received rave reviews from the world's top golfers, who agree that it is both demanding and fair. This course has been consistently rated as the best in South Africa, and compares with the best in the world.
The first course in South Africa to be constructed to stringent USGA specifications, this layout is famed for its length (over 7000 metres from the championship tees), its dramatic backdrops of the Pilanesberg Mountains, and its spectacular indigenous vegetation that flanks the fairways.
The first facility in South Africa to be built with multiple tees, the course can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels of skill, but even from the forward tees it remains a challenge. A distinguishing feature of the course is its greens complexes which allows for interesting pin positions on the clover-shaped putting surfaces protected by strategically placed bunkers.
The Gary Player Country Club is acknowledged as a difficult and demanding course. Since 1981 it has been home to the Nedbank Golf Challenge. The course requires stamina and accuracy from players.
Off the back markers the course measures over 7 000 metres which makes it one of the longest in the world. But a variety of tees make it possible to shorten the course and render playable for all levels of golfers. A distinguishing feature of the course is its green's complexes, with strategically placed bunkers, swales and mounds that protect the super slick clover shaped greens. With pristine perfect kikuyu fairways and excellent bent grass greens the course is kept in perfect condition all year round.
Please note that there will be no increase in ticket prices for 2015.

I hate you.
I passionately hate you with every single cell of my body.
Everything about you is so disgusting to me,
So pathetic and annoying.
I hate the way you act and talk.
I absolutely despise your essence in general.
Every time I see you,
My neutral expression falls into a frown.
Or rather, I don't even give enough of a care to frown.
As I try my hardest not to glare,
I bite the inside of my cheek.
So hard that I feel my own teeth digging into flesh,
So that that I taste my own blood.
My blood tastes sweet, and I savor every drop.
But not as sweet as your blood would taste;
Surely yours is sweeter and better to taste than mine.
I would love to take apart your flesh with my own claws
And see your raw composition lying there,
So vulnerable, so pitiful, so... Cute.
So beautiful I'd laugh.
No, not the laugh you'd hear from a usual villain,
But the lighthearted laugh you'd hear from a couple on a date,
A child watching his favorite television show,
A man making jokes with his friends.
A laugh of pure, innocent bliss.
I hate you.
Bloodlust by ListofApologiesWatch
©2013-2015 ListofApologies
When I wrote this poem, it was actually a satire/parody of those overly sweet "love letters."
But hate is beautiful.
And I had to elaborate.
But hate is beautiful.
And I had to elaborate.

Fans are already calling for heads to roll, but I'm not one
Posted: November 09, 2012|
TO say this week has been disappointing for Bristol's two football clubs would certainly be somewhat of an understatement. City slumped to their sixth successive defeat, while Rovers are on a run which has seen them lose their last four games.
Both teams are starting to look as though they are facing up to long battles against relegation as we close in on the halfway point of the season. So what needs to be done to turn things around at both Ashton Gate and the Memorial Stadium?
Sack the manager, some might and have actually said, but I'm certainly not one to subscribe to that school of thought.
Haven't we seen enough comings and goings in both dugouts over recent seasons to recognise that a quick fix doesn't really ever solve anything?
Having said that, it is understandable that some supporters will be of that view. Football is a results-driven business. Both managers are long-enough in the tooth and experienced enough to expect some flack.
So where do we start when attempting to dissect the efforts of both teams in a season that has so far been littered with false dawns and if, buts and maybes?
Hopes were high at the Memorial Stadium at the start of the season after Mark McGhee arrived to steady the ship following the turbulent six-month tenure of former boss Paul Buckle earlier this year.
Mark was careful not to talk up hopes of a promotion charge before the season started – in public at least – but could anybody really have predicted that Rovers would be one point off the foot of League Two with 15 games of the season played?
Rovers supporters, like fans across the land, want to see something that gives them hope that things will change – but I fear that the fan-base will be divided over their manager following Tuesday night's disappointing defeat at the hands of Southend United.
My own feeling is that Rovers need to stick with Mark and give him the opportunity to turn things around. I think Rovers' problems stem from a pre-season in which Mark was unable to get the players he wanted for one reason or another.
The departure of Mustapha Carayol and a mounting injury list in the weeks since has meant that Mark has essentially been fire-fighting for most of this season so far.
The encouraging signs are that some of the players have shown they are good enough – even if they have not done that consistently – and now Mark has to try and get the best out of them.
Mark has always been keen to outline that the squad – essentially one of young players – is being built with a long-term plan in mind.
He will be well aware now, however, that how he fares over the next month or so ahead of the Christmas period could play a part in whether he is the man to try and carry out that plan. Supporters need to be reassured and the only way for that to happen is for Mark to try and find a way to help his side claim a couple of decent results.
It is a similar story over at Ashton Gate where injuries to Stephen McManus and Cole Skuse in defeat at Birmingham on Tuesday night served to offer Derek McInnes further problems to contend with.
Losing McManus is the latest in a long line of problems the manager has had to contend with at the heart of his back four, while Cole, although sometimes not always regarded as a fans' favourite, is the sort of Mr Reliable you look to when times and results are tough.
Both managers I would imagine will be looking closely at their players' body language over the next few days to determine exactly who they can trust in their respective sticky situations.
Who is up for the battle? Who is skulking around in the corner or trying to shy away from taking responsibility?
How many of the players can you look in the eye and know for certain that they're up for the battle?
What I'd expect both managers not to be looking at, however, are their respective club fans forums.
They'll be getting stick; it comes with the territory – but one thing I learned quickly after going into management is not to read forums or papers.
I remember a time in the early days of my managerial career a day on which my Torquay side beat a Ray Graydon-led Bristol Rovers 2-0. I picked up the paper on Monday and thought: "This is great!"
It was all compliments and praise for six weeks after that – until we started to lose a few.
The compliments quickly stopped coming and I started getting pelters for some of my decisions. I stopped reading and I'm pretty sure this is something practiced by quite a lot of managers these days.
I know supporters of both clubs are finding it difficult to keep faith after recent performances.
The answer, however, is not to keep changing managers.

The state has received 38 applications for new charter schools, including some that would specialize in math, science and technology instruction and others that would focus on more obscure themes, according to a list released by state education officials.
One applicant wants to open a high school for teens in Elizabeth and Roselle that would be named after state Sen. Raymond Lesniak, a powerful Union County Democrat.
A former Newark high school principal has applied to start a military-themed school bearing former Secretary of State Colin Powell's name.
Another contender is seeking state approval to open a virtual charter school for Lakewood teens who also attend Jewish day schools there.

On Christmas morning, I was surprised and delighted to receive a small book titled "'Trees and Other Poems" by Joyce Kilmer.
"Trees" was my mother's favorite poem and I have loved it since she taught it to me as a little girl. Until I opened my gift, I had no idea that Kilmer had written so many others.
First published in 1914, the collection of 31poems addresses topics as varied as "Memorial Day," "Alarm Clocks," "Wealth" and "The House With Nobody In It." The diversity of subjects made me curious to know more about Joyce Kilmer.
I learned he was born Dec. 6, 1886, in New Jersey and named Alfred Joyce for two priests at the family's church, Alfred R. Taylor and the Rev. Dr. Elisha Brooks Joyce. His mother was a little known writer and composer while his physician-chemist father achieved some fame as the creator of Johnson and Johnson's baby powder.
Educated at Rutgers and Columbia, Joyce Kilmer loved the classics, edited the school's newspapers, won a prize for oratory and participated in debating. Following graduation he married fellow poet Aline Murray, with whom he would have five children. It was to his wife's mother, Mrs. Henry Mills Alden, that he dedicated "Trees."
Beginning in 1908, Joyce Kilmer steadily worked at writing essays, poems and book reviews. For several years he was employed by Funk and Wagnalls to define words (at five cents each) for their new dictionary. He later wrote for The New York Times, lectured and published four books.
Soon after the United States entered World War I, Kilmer enlisted in the New York National Guard, rising quickly to the rank of sergeant after refusing an officer's commission.
Deployed to Europe, he volunteered to lead a scouting party to search for German machine guns. Shot by a sniper, Joyce Kilmer died at age 31. He was posthumously awarded the War Cross by the French Republic.
A century after it was written, "Trees" continues to appear in anthologies and be memorized by schoolchildren. Although widely ridiculed by literary critics for being too simple and overly sentimental, it has been embraced by ordinary people worldwide. The poem and Kilmer's heroism prompted the U.S. Forest Service to dedicate a 3,800-acre tract of virgin hardwoods as the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.

Knife-toting man robs cleaners on Everhart
Officers locate weapon outside of the building
About 6 p.m. a clerk at the cleaners said a man wearing blue jeans and a black shirt came in and sat down near the door while she checked the dryers. Police said the clerk was unable to give a further description.
After she went into a locked office the man got up, reached through a window and unlocked the door to the office.
Police said the man threatened the clerk with a kitchen knife and demanded money from the register.
The clerk told police the man asked for her cell phone, car keys and the store's surveillance tape. She convinced him that none of those items existed.
The man ripped a phone out of the wall and then ran out of the store with an undisclosed amount of money.
A knife was found by police outside the cleaners a short time later and identified by the clerk.
Police are asking anyone with information may contact police at 886-2600.

Web Information Systems
Bachelor of Science
The Wilmington University undergraduate degree program in Web Information Systems provides students with the technical skills to design and build sophisticated web-based systems and mobile device apps. The World Wide Web has become a ubiquitous influence to all aspects of commerce and professional/personal interactions among a worldwide citizenry - both corporate and private - within today's increasingly global economy. The latest technical skills are critically important for the success of any commercial enterprise. Students in Wilmington University's Web Information Systems degree program learn the latest in software development technologies for the web and mobile devices, achieve a sound understanding of current business practices, and develop capable communications skills. This gives the students the broad education needed to compete for jobs in today's global marketplace.
Use of the internet and mobile devices has changed the way the world communicates. The influence of the World Wide Web on both business and private interaction has become universal in its impact. As such, the Internet has become an indispensable tool in our daily lives. And, because technology expands at an incredible pace, those who fail to keep abreast with the times will quickly lose their competitive edge.
Successful enterprises have learned that to keep customers informed and accommodated, static web pages are no longer enough. Businesses need apps that run on mobile devices and web-based systems that are "dynamic" and "data-driven". This means that the web pages are created instantaneously, at the touch of a screen or the click of a mouse, and customized for each particular viewer. "Dynamic" capability provides an enormous competitive advantage in a markedly competitive and technologically-augmented global marketplace.
CAP (Community and Academic Partnerships)/Co-op Program
In order to provide relevant work experience, students in the Web Information Systems (WIS) degree program have the option of completing six credit hours via a co-op assignment. The co-op option for WIS is the equivalent of two semester courses, for a total of six credit hours. Students can complete their WIS degree with 120 credit hours, whether they choose the co-op option or not. Because each co-op experience is individually designed, students must inform the Director of the CAP/Co-op program and the WIS Program Chair one semester before they would like to begin a co-op assignment.
This information applies to students who enter this degree program during the 2015-2016 Academic Year. If you entered this degree program before the Fall 2015 semester, please refer to the academic catalog for the year you began your degree program.

The Video Music Awards are a celebration of the best music video work that musicians and technical personnel have to offer. They're also a live event attended by more than a few outsized personalities, all interacting with each other in close proximity. Part of what makes the event so exciting to us is the tension that proximity creates. Sometimes, though, it boils over past professional rivalry into personal beef.
With that in mind, here is a look back at the ten most memorable VMA fights. Will anyone get into it this year? (Pitbull and Lindsay Lohan?) We'll be tuning in to MTV on Sunday at 9 p.m. to find out.
