Elena Dementieva
US Open
August 25, 2008
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. How did you feel out there today? I'm just wondering if you felt a
little sluggish.
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, you know, really it's very hard not to think
about the Olympic Games, you know, and very difficult to refocus and
just to get ready, you know, for the Open, because it's ‑‑ still, I
mean, all my thinking is there in Beijing.
Yesterday I was trying to go to sleep, but, I mean, I couldn't go
because I was watching, you know, the closing ceremony, and, you know,
my mind is still there.
I was trying to, you know, to stay focused as possible as I could, and
the court was not easy. I think the first round is never easy.
Q. When did you arrive from Beijing?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: I arrived on Wednesday because I went home for one
day. I was there without my mom, so I wanted to celebrate it with my
family a little bit and to see my friends and just come back to my
tennis club and do a little celebration there. I came here on Wednesday.
Q. So what type of reception did you get at home from your family and
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Oh, it was very, very nice, you know. It was a lot of
people in the airport. A very nice welcome back, and lots of flowers,
you know. It was very special moment.
Q. With your countrymen out, rotator cuff injuries, the Olympics, but
winning the US Open, would that be important from an American business
perspective to get the endorsements from certain watch companies and
other major corporations that other tennis players have been getting up
to this point?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, you know, since I was a little girl I was never
‑‑ it was never a goal to me to get big endorsements, you know. I was
always dreaming about winning Olympic Games, you know, winning something
big, and, you know, play well for my country. So this is so much
important to me.
Well, I know that tennis isn't over yet, that's why I'm here. I like to
play in New York. In the beginning of my career I played the first
semifinals here, so I love to play here.
Just try to continue to play well. But the biggest goal for the year was
Beijing, and I did it as best as I could.
Q. Once you are able to refocus, how do you think that experience will
help you in big events like Grand Slams?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, it was quite an experience, you know. We played
six matches in a row in Beijing, and, I mean, best players in the world
were competing there. It was big challenge for me, and a lot of
confidence for sure after this big win.
So it just ‑‑ right now it's a matter of, you know, umm, how fresh I can
stay, you know, for this tournament. Just want to take some rest, you
know, and make sure that I don't practice as much as I did in Beijing. I
need to save some energy for this tournament.
But I feel good.
Q. Do you feel like more of a winner?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Oh, I mean, it's ‑‑ I don't think ‑‑ I mean, I don't
think that far. I just want to take one match at a time.
Q. How important was that for you mentally with the pressure you put on
yourself? You're saying all year Beijing is it for me. This is the
important thing. Then to actually go into the final and win the match.
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, actually, I think the experience of my first
Olympic final in Sydney eight years ago really helped me this time,
because I did not feel this pressure at all. I was so focused. I was
thinking about every single point.
And I mean, all these matches against Dinara this year, especially
losing in French Open, you know, when I had a match point, I was ‑‑ I
didn't exactly know what to do. I was staying aggressive and I didn't
wait for the mistake. I was doing the whole thing, you know, the whole
So it was important for me. Yeah, I mean, without that experience,
probably I wouldn't be able to do this.
Q. Serena Williams said on Saturday that when she was a little girl
growing up that she had so many dreams of winning Wimbledon, winning the
French Open, winning the Australian Open, the US Open, winning a lot of
tournaments, Grand Slams. She said she never really dreamed of being an
Olympic champion. That wasn't part of the plan. Obviously she won gold
in doubles. She said it was kind of a special feeling, one that she
hadn't really thought of as a little girl. When you were growing up, I
mean, I'm sure you dreamed of Grand Slam titles, but did you ever dream
also? Was Olympic gold always something that you dreamed of?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, in Russia, if you stop anyone in the street and
ask what is a Grand Slam, I don't think many people can tell you what is
this. But everyone knows what ‑‑ I mean, Olympic Games. There is nothing
bigger. There is nothing more important than Olympic Games for an
athlete, for a sportsperson.
So I was watching a lot, I was dreaming a lot, and for me, that was once
again the biggest goal for this year.
All my preparation, you know, from the beginning of the year, you know,
was playing singles only because I wanted to make sure I saved some
energy for the start. I didn't playing any of the tournaments, you know,
in the summer that I like to play, you know, in the US Open Series. I
didn't play any of them. In Montreal only.
But I was getting ready. For me, this is the biggest, biggest event.
Q. Have things changed in Russia with so many wonderful Russian tennis
players? You know, there has been such great results in the last five,
six years. Have things changed since you were a very young girl growing
up in terms of regarding Grand Slam tournaments?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, for sure, tennis is getting bigger and bigger in
Russia and very popular right now. We got so many great results in the
last few years, and for sure a lot of people are involved in tennis.
They watch a lot, and this is one of the most popular sports in the
Q. Is there a fatigue factor? This has to be a letdown after the
Olympics. Is there mental and physical letdown?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: I don't know what is the best, you know, to be a
little bit tired but very comfortable and very positive, or, you know,
just to be fresh and not to play in the Olympic Games.
So I don't know what's the best, so... It's just another challenge, and
we'll see if I can handle it.
Q. You have a chance to be No. 1 at the end of this tournament, and
there are several players in the same position. Why doesn't anyone want
to keep No. 1 in women's tennis?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Because Justine is not here anymore. (laughter.)
Q. What's your explanation for how open it is?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, I think we don't have a player who can be very
consistent during the year. I mean, it's been ups and downs and some
great matches, great performances from a lot of players, from top 10,
but we never had anything like Justine who was able to, you know, win
every single tournament that she was playing.
So maybe that's the...
Q. Prior to winning the Olympics, you were perhaps a player that could
go deep in a tournament, semifinals and finals, but hadn't won that big
tournament yet. Now that you won the Olympics, do you feel weight has
been lifted from your shoulders, maybe you can play with a little less
pressure on the court?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, you know, people just come to me and say, Oh,
I'm happy for you. You're always losing in the final. It's so great that
you finally win something big.
But I never thought about this in that way, you know. I was thinking
that it was a great experience in French Open, US Open. I didn't think
it's such a bad results to be in the final of a Grand Slam.
It just took me a long, you know, a lot of time. It was a long way, you
know, to the big win. But without this experience I wouldn't be able to
do this, so it's just my way.
Q. What makes a tournament important? Is it the money? Is it the crowd?
Is it the dream of the players? What is the most important?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: Well, I think it's a very special feeling when you
play for your country. I just feel like I'm playing so much better when
I'm playing Fed Cup, when I'm playing Olympic Games. From the beginning
I was playing so much better. I don't know why. Just gives you so much
extra energy, extra power, and you're just so focused, so positive.
Just really want to do something good for your country, and that's what
makes you feel stronger on the court.
Q. What have you done with the gold medal? Are you sleeping with it?
ELENA DEMENTIEVA: (laughter.)
No, I'm ‑‑ actually it's at home in Moscow. But, yeah, I mean, I was
holding it for three days, and it was like, make sure it's not a dream.
Just ‑‑ it's real.

Wigan defy critics but face new challenges ahead in 2014
The joy on the face of Sam Tomkins when the hooter went at Old Trafford showed just what it meant to the England full-back to win the Super League Grand Final with Wigan.
In his 152nd and final appearance, before a world-record fee move to New Zealand Warriors, he had helped his side to a success against Warrington that sealed the league and Challenge Cup double, following August's victory against Hull at Wembley.
What made the achievement most special to Tomkins and his team-mates was the backdrop in which it had been won.
Two top-class half-backs Brett Finch and Thomas Leuluai had left the previous winter, as had prolific centre George Carmont, prompting some sections of the media to question whether the club could challenge for honours.
"At the start of this season we were written off to be finishing fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh or whatever it was, because we lost a few players," Tomkins told BBC Sport.
Final hero: Pat Richards
Pat Richards took his tally of points for the Warriors to 2,468 with a try and five goals in his last appearance before returning to Wests Tigers in his native Australia.
Eight seasons at the club produced two Super League titles and two Challenge Cups to add to an NRL Premiership won with Tigers in 2005.
"Pat has been an unbelievable servant for this club and he deserves every single bit of credit, accolade and praise," Sam Tomkins said.
"We've had too many Aussies come and go in Super League, be average and take money from players who probably deserved it more.
"Pat has been a brilliant servant for the club and we are lucky to have had him for eight years."
"To silence those people and win the double is unbelievable."
The loss of such quality players was overcome by some inspired recruitment from Wigan coach Shaun Wane, with the new pairing of Matty Smith from Salford and Hull KR stand-off Blake Green playing starring roles in their success.
Smith picked up the Lance Todd Trophy in the Wembley final for his consummate kicking game, while Green overcame a facial cut, after being caught by a swinging arm from Ben Westwood, to score a thrilling try and collect the Harry Sunderland Trophy in the Super League showpiece.
"What character he showed after having his eye busted after two minutes," Tomkins said.
"You can teach players how to catch and pass and kick but you can't teach character. Without him we wouldn't have won."
In addition to new arrivals the squad has seen the resurgence of home-grown talent, which has provided the backbone to the push for honours.
Michael McIlorum and Logan Tomkins at hooker, Liam Farrell in the back-row and Josh Charnley and Darrell Goulding in the three-quarters have all shone for Wane - who coached many of them at academy level before their step-up to the seniors.
"It's a special occasion to win with your hometown club," Goulding told BBC Sport.
"It's massive to have local lads in the team. You've seen the same thing with Leeds over the years and how well they've done. We've started doing the same over the last couple of years.
"There's players here, and I know I have, who have grown up playing together and there's that bond you have from that.
Final hero: Blake Green
Man of the match Blake Green capped an impressive 2013 season at Wigan with two team honours to add to personal silverware.
The 27-year-old joined Wigan from Hull KR and has scored nine tries in 24 games, but might have been forced off prematurely when he was caught by a swinging arm from Warrington's Ben Westwood early on in the game.
"I don't remember anything about it," he said.
"I haven't seen it so I can't really comment. I wasn't knocked out but, when I hit the ground I felt a bit of impact on my eye and the doctor wanted me to stay down and make sure I could breathe properly.
"It was just precaution really. There was no way I was coming off. I was glad I stayed out there because it was cool to play an important part of the win for the team.
"It's what you dream about, playing in finals and winning the man of the match. and for it to all fall into place is just surreal."
"There's no-one we'd want to win more for than Shaun. You saw after the game how everyone wanted to go straight to him.
"He means a lot to all the lads, and the players all do to each other and it's a culture we have built into this club."
Reward for winning the Grand Final is a place in the World Club Challenge, against NRL Premiership winners Sydney Roosters.
As a player Wane played in 1987's inaugural final between Wigan and Manly at Central Park, and was assistant to Michael Maguire when the Warriors were beaten by St George Illawara in 2011.
"I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that," Wane added.
"To play in that sort of competition whether it is in Sydney or here, it will be great. It's a pity it's not against the Souths [Maguire's current side], that would have been interesting but it is great."
Having coped with major squad changes in 2013, Wane will have to do so again as Tomkins is followed out of the club by prolific winger Pat Richards, England prop Lee Mossop and versatile forward Chris Tuson.
Richards and Mossop will head to Wests Tigers and Parramatta Eels for next season, while Tuson crosses the Pennines to join Hull FC.
In return Matt Bowen has come in from North Queensland Cowboys to replace Tomkins, Eddy Pettybourne arrives from Wests Tigers while Sam Hopkins' promise at Championship level with Leigh prompted the Warriors to secure his signature.
"The four lads that are leaving have been outstanding, all of them, and I love them to pieces, but teams move on," Wane said.
"[Sean] O'Loughlin has been loyal, McIlorum too, I'm really pleased not just for the four that are leaving but also the lads that have been here for years."
Wane and Wigan proved their critics wrong in 2013, but with such a drain of talent, they might just find themselves facing the same doubters come the start of the 2014 season.

If 2013 was the year to get down to business, 2014 is the year to wake up and deliver. However, it's not so much that app dev priorities or resolutions have changed; it's their importance and focus on execution and delivery that is more critical than ever. No surprise that this fact continues to hold true: delivering applications faster to the business is still the #1 application development priority for 2014.
At the Gartner AADI Summit in December 2013, Serena surveyed IT executives about their top application development and delivery priorities for the coming year and discovered some notable results:
We found that the priority "Continuously Deliver Apps" grew in importance the fastest (up 17%), followed by "Develop Mobile Apps" and "Standardize Our Methodology," both of which recorded a 15% increase since 2012. A slight decline was seen in the importance of delivering applications faster, suggesting the focus is moving to execution of the top priorities.
Another interesting discovery was the significant increase in the adoption and importance of 4 key App Dev initiatives:
While most software development delivery teams increasingly embrace agile, mobile, big data and cloud within the application strategies and portfolios, the biggest challenge for respondents is finding a way to define and deliver software faster and better while aligning with the business, market and customer needs.
See complete results from the survey in the graph below. Plus, check out the infographic, which will give you an at-a-glance view and analysis of the survey results. You can also see survey results from the Gartner 2012 AADI Conference as a comparison.
|Ashley Owen is the Director of Orchestrated ALM Strategy at Serena Software. Ash has worked at Serena Software for more than 20 years and is passionate about solving application delivery problems spanning demand, development, and deployment.
This lines up precisely with we are hearing back from SAP using business. Specialising in simplifying SAP change control through delivering specifically SAP change control automation software the challenge for these organisations is the facilitation of continuous delivery whilst maintaining control, meeting documentation requirements, testing, code checks and so on without applying speed limits. Surprisingly, ALM automation is still really an afterthought as IT support organisation struggle to meet the business need with existing, outdated manual methods.
Great article.

The Black Press: A weapon in the Black freedom struggle
Monday, 29 March 2010 13:42
Dr. Ron Daniels
I was privileged to attend the Annual Conference of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), the trade association for more than 200 newspapers in Black America. I was also honored to receive NNPA's North Star Community Service Award, which is named after the militant newspaper founded by Frederick Douglass in 1847. It was a real treat to have the opportunity to meet and interact with Black writers and publishers from around the country. As a kid I can remember being a paperboy for the Pittsburgh Courier in the Hill District of the "steel city." Every Thursday you could hear the voices of young boys hollering out "get your Pittsburgh Courrrrrrrrrier!" The few nickels and dimes I collected put some change in my pocket and enabled me to stride with a little pride. When I moved to Youngstown, Ohio, the Buckeye Review was the principal voice for the Black community. Founded by Earl B. Dickerson, this cherished news organ was passed on to McCullough Williams, Jr. and eventually Margaret Linton-Lanier. For a time I served as Advertising Director for the Buckeye Review.

A toast to the administrative state
Friday, 26 March 2010 15:11
Joseph C. Phillips
There was much laughter following the presidents signing of the health care bill. Democrats were positively giddy over having successfully secured America's decline. There were fist bumps and back slapping; the champagne flowed.
Democrats were not alone in their celebration. Republicans too shook hands with constituents and lapped up attention and praise for, let's face it, having done very little. But, hey, why let that spoil a good time? My fear is that not only will Republicans not "repeal the bill" should they take control of congress after the mid-term elections, but that in the very near future Republican candidates will also be running on promises to nurture it. Such is my confidence in the current GOP.

To the Editor: My thoughts about Special Education and the African American adolescent male.
Friday, 26 March 2010 12:53
Debra Briggs, MSW Augsburg student.
If it takes a village to raise a child, then is it feasible to come together as a community to raise our African American males who are in special education? Studies across the county and in Minnesota revealed that there is an overrepresentation of African American males in the special educational system. Legislation known as NCLB (No Child Left Behind) and IDEIA (Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement) provides resources for the success of youths with disabilities and their families.

Life after the Election
Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:45
Kenya McKnight
Life for me after this past election cycle has been an interesting process of rebuilding a more profound life step by step.
I ran for a seat on the Minneapolis City Council because of my great dissatisfaction with how our community has been treated, engaged and represented. I also wanted to explore life beyond the level I was currently at. I had been in a funk for the past two years after the death of my youngest brother prior to my run for 5th Ward City council. After his death in 2006, I lost interest in everything including my responsibilities to support my life and eventually grew very tired of the world that surrounded me. I made the choice that I needed to be refreshed and pushed to greater heights in my life and I was willing to put everything that I had into it. I had nothing to lose because I felt as if I had already hit rock bottom, so I had nowhere to go but up.

Obamacare: At what price?
Tuesday, 23 March 2010 15:51
William Reed
Reforming health care in America is proving complicated. Until now, every attempt to provide Americans universal health coverage, as most other leading nations already do, has failed. Each of the 200 countries on our planet devises its own arrangements for keeping people healthy, treating the sick, and protecting families against financial ruin from medical costs. America has been the lone exception among 32 of the 33 developed nations that have universal health care.

A home is where wealth is
Thursday, 18 March 2010 14:23
William Reed
Despite expansive and deep-seated beliefs in the American Dream's egalitarian concept America's structure still perpetuates racial and class inequalities. At the base of "the American Dream" is homeownership. A home is equal parts family sanctuary and wealth asset. A home is a status symbol of substance. Homeownership provides: shelter and security and elevated community involvement and in democratic institutions. So, in the worst real estate market since the 1940s on whom do we rely to eradicate racial and class inequalities in homeownership? During the nation's economic downturn homeownership rates among minority communities declined significantly.

Go beyond high school
Thursday, 18 March 2010 14:22
Judge Greg Mathis
The percentage of high school students who went on to college or trade school within a year of finishing high school climbed from 47 percent in 1973 to 67 percent in 2007. That's good news; our students are falling behind other industrialized nations in terms of graduation rates and we must play catch up. The bad news is that many young people, gifted in their own ways, don't feel college is for them simply because they don't thrive in the classroom. Higher education, more often than not, promises economic stability and career growth for those who go after it, more so than a high school diploma. But, with our nation's focus on colleges and universities, we may be losing some very talented young people and damaging our future workforce.

BUFORD -- Two parents who allegedly left their 5-month-old daughter home alone were found at a nearby school with conflicting stories about who was responsible for the child.
Sean Michael Griffin and Kelly Morgan Griffin were booked into the Gwinnett jail on Friday and charged with cruelty to children, maintaining a disorderly house and several drug charges after she dropped a Xanax pill out of her pocket.
A neighbor reported to police that they left the front door of their house open and left without the infant, who was crying in a disheveled house.
A Gwinnett County Police incident report said the reporting officer found a "large amount of clothing strewn about the floors in all upstairs rooms, clutter of picture frames on the floors, toys stacked in closets and floors and cigarette ashes and butts all over the upstairs master bedroom near the small baby crib."
There was also glasses that appeared to be filled with some type of alcoholic beverages in the living room, kitchen and master bedroom, and a moderate smell of what appeared to be burnt marijuana, the report said.
A grandmother and a case worker from the Department of Family and Children's Services also responded to the scene.
While one officer was at the home, another found the couple at Ivey Creek Elementary School in Buford.
At the school, an officer found Sean Griffin in the driver's seat of a vehicle, "apparently asleep."
"Sean was wearing a T-shirt and boxer shorts, and had socks, but no shoes on," wrote the officer, who added that the man said his wife rushed him out of the house.
The officer wrote that Sean Griffin was "very disoriented" and confused that his daughter was not in the school with his wife.
Meanwhile, Kelly Griffin was in the school arguing with the staff about her older children, who were brought back to the school after a bus driver attempted to drop them off at home, but no one was home.
She also appeared "very disoriented and had extremely slurred speech and bloodshot eyes."
Unable to contact Kelly Griffin, the officer wrote that school officials contacted her ex-husband to pick up the children.
After the officer spoke to Sean Griffin, he returned to Kelly Griffin, who dropped a Xanax pill out of her pocket. The officer then found three more Xanax pills in her purse and confirmed that with the Georgia Poison Control Hotline.
Sean Griffin said the pills were his, that his wife took them from him, but he didn't have a prescription for them.
"Both parents were very confused and had different stories as to how they had left the house," the officer wrote. "At no time during the entire encounter with the Griffins did they ask me about the welfare or health of their 5-month-old child."
During the ride to the jail, the officer wrote that they continued to argue about who left the child at the house.

Poor children. Too bad the court can't order sterilization. Parenting classes and evaluations are all the law will allow.

They need extensive treatment and or JAIL time to get their act's together. Thank goodness the child was ok and not harmed or hurt in any way. Sounds like all their children would be better off and safer with their Grandmother!!! Things like this are the exact reason why we have Family and Children Services. And all of the many different agencies in county and state government.

After the 1457 National Guard unit was deployed in February, Hatfield, who's husband is part of the military unit, approached the hospital with a proposition to raise funds for the families left behind. The money raised will go toward unforeseen expenses such as medical bills and other emergencies which the families may incur during the troops deployment. The hospital provided $5,000 and donations from local companies and residents are being collected at the medical facility to match the hospital's contribution. To ensure that these funds are used by those who they are intended for, a committee has been formed and each check must be signed by four committee members.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
After last weeks big win over West Desert, it looked like the East Carbon boys basketball team had finally found the path to the promised land.
But after Tuesday nights loss to Tintic in Eureka, a 74-47 thrashing, they were lucky they could find their way back to Sunnyside.
"I don't know what happened to our effort," said head coach Jeff Cisneros.
The game was an example of what has plagued this Viking team all season, only more so. Consistency and running plays as a team has eluded this squad all season except in spurts. And according to the coach there were fewer spurts in this game than in most of the others.
"We had one bright spot and that was in the second quarter," noted Cisneros. " We were down by 20 points and started a comeback, got within 12 and then we let them rattle off four or five baskets and that was the end."
Once again right from the beginning the Vikings dug themselves a hole. At the end of the first quarter it was 25-10. It didn't help that one of the Vikes top men, Austin Preston got into foul trouble and had to sit down for the half. That second quarter bright spot made that period a little better but they still were blasted 21-13 going into the locker room 23 points down.
The final two quarters were much closer, with the third period scores reading 13-11 and the fourth 15-12, but that was little consolation.
"In the game last week against West Desert we had 26 assists and only 12 turnovers," stated Cisneros. "On Tuesday night we had at least two turnovers to every assist we made. You can't do that and win."
After the win last week Cisneros was sure the team would be able to beat Tintic this week, especially since in a game earlier this season the Vikes had taken the Miners into a double overtime and only lost by five points.
But it was not to be.
High scorer for the Vikings was Tony McFarland with 15 points. Jared Kennedy put in 10.
"It got so bad that I just decided to play everyone on the bench, but it's hard for those kids to keep up with the other teams older kids," stated the coach.
Cisneros said the team has a lot of time to practice in the next 10 days because they only have one game on Feb. 21 before the final week of the season when they must play three games in five days.
"We will see if we can come back, what kind of grit we have," he concluded.

Islands Restaurants
"Islands Restaurants was founded in 1982 with a basic philosophy – serve great, fresh food with friendly service in a fun atmosphere. Entrepreneur Tony DeGrazier had a vision of a restaurant that would offer a simple, original menu featuring gourmet hamburgers, specialty drinks and a fun, tropical theme. In fact, he wanted to recreate the dining experiences he had in the 1960s while stationed in Oahu with his Navy buddies. Islands was an instant hit -- we ran out of food the first night at our West Los Angeles location, and we've been building a loyal following ever since. Since that first night, we've been slowly expanding and building upon our success. You can now find more than 50 Islands Restaurants throughout Southern California and Arizona, and more recently in places like Summerlin, NV and Sacramento. Over the years, we've added a few more burgers, served too many two-pound baskets of our fresh-cut fries to count, and perfected our salads and soft tacos, but our commitment to you – our guest – hasn't changed."

Orange County Mining Company Restaurant
A restaurant with a first class view! Fine salad bar, too. "It pictures mines and wealth; it portrays tales of hope and faith in search of silver. Along the Silverado, eager miners drove their tunnels, and prospectors combed the mountain side and canyon bottoms, all in search of signs of precious metal. Silverado Canyon, formerly known as Canada del la Madera to the Indians and Spanish Californians, was an already explored canyon when J.E. Pleasants and Sam Shewsbury pioneered in the Santiago Canyon of which Silverado is a branch. Goats were raised at nearly all of the ranches and for years vied with bees as the principal industry. The sleepy canyon settlements idled quietly until one day in the fall of 1877, Hank Smith and William Curry came upon silver ore. The first claim, Southern Belle, remained relatively dormant. Then another mine, The Santa Clara, was located. An article published in the Los Angeles Times heralded the discovery of silver and from that point on, men rushed into the canyon seeking fame and fortune. Creaking wagons, some of which had come across the plains, spring wagons, carts, dilapidated old surries and shiny rigs from livery stables clattered over the rocks at the crossings and sweating horses dragged the outfits into the new found El Dorado. With the arrival of prospectors, new shops, hotels and saloons emerged. It is in the tradition of the Old Silverado grubberies and saloons that the Orange County Mining Company was patterned. The Orange County Mining Company actually sits upon one of the old silver mine sites at the canyon. Relics displayed within the restaurant's interior are genuine artifacts of the mining era. "

My Giving Helps: The MGH Fund + United Way Employee Campaign provides funding necessary for health and wellness programs to thrive in area communities.
Employee giving improves care for community
COMMUNITY HEALTH: Spina with a member of the Boys & Girls Club
Two years ago, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston identified a gap in their services. The clubs were providing 14,000 kids and teens each year with skill-building initiatives in topics from arts to academics to technology, but they lacked a program focused on health and wellness. Fortunately, they knew where to turn to fill that gap: the MGH.
Soon, MGH nurse Jennifer Spina, RN, began to work exclusively out of the clubs. "Mass General's health centers share communities like Chelsea and Charlestown with the Boys & Girls Clubs, so it was a natural fit," says Jeanette Ives Erickson, RN, DNP, senior vice president for Patient Care and chief nurse who is serving as a co-chair of My Giving Helps: The MGH Fund + United Way Employee Campaign. "Donations to the MGH Fund and United Way provided the funding necessary for a program like this to take place."
In addition to educating kids, teens and their families about the importance of healthy eating and exercise, "Nurse Jen" enlists hospital resources to help members at the clubs, such as nursing students from the MGH Institute of Health Professions who perform health screenings. "What she brings is something we could not do internally; it was out of our realm," says Jean Pagliuca, director of Operations for the Boys & Girls Clubs. "Jen helps us with everything from internal health policies and procedures to educating members about washing their hands or brushing their teeth."
To learn more about programs the employee giving campaign helps, visit www.mygivinghelps.org. Donations are accepted through Sept. 28.

Fantasy Baseball: Is Lorenzo Cain Able?
In 22 games and 73 at bats Kansas City outfielder Lorenzo Cain has had some mixed success. Is he able to make a contribution to your fantasy team?
Cain is hitting just .260 with a meager .301 on-base percentage. He has four walks compared to sixteen strikeouts. His decent .452 slugging percentage, thanks to seven of his 19 hits going for extra bases, at least gets his OPS (.753) respectable.
Cain has scored nine runs, slugged three home runs, and stolen a base. Where he has made his mark, though, has been in driving runners in. Cain has knocked in 15 runs in his limited playing time.
He is hitting left-handed pitching fairly well, posting a .318 batting average. Of his seven hits, just one went for extra bases however. Meanwhile he's struggling with contact (.235) against right-handed pitching, but half of his hits are for extra bases, giving him a better OPS (.771 vs. .770) despite the batting average discrepancy.
Cain's home-road splits are even more lopsided. He is hitting the cover off the ball at Kauffman Stadium with a .382 average and a 1.025 OPS. Meanwhile, on the road he's hitting just .154 with a .521 OPS.
Cain has had some success at the Triple-A level hitting .306 with a .855 OPS in 621 at bats. He doesn't have a very high ceiling though.
Cain is owned in a little over half of ESPN fantasy leagues and about a quarter of Yahoo! ones. Given his dramatic splits, I would likely only use him on days when there aren't many games scheduled and he happens to be playing at home.

Filing bankruptcy just got slightly more expensive and for some in Arizona it will be more difficult to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. On November 1st of this year the filing fees for filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy will go up. Further, on November 1st new income numbers will be instituted that will make it more difficult for some families to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.
New Higher Filing Fees
Right now the bankruptcy court charges a filing fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy of $299. This will increase to $306 on November 1st. Likewise, currently the bankruptcy court charges a filing fee of $274 for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. This will be raised to $281. These are not huge increases, but these fees continue to creep up over time making it more expensive for anyone to file for bankruptcy.
New Median Income Numbers Make it More Difficult for Some to File Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
As I have discussed in prior articles, in order to qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you must make at or below the median income for a family of your size in your state. For instance, currently, a family of two must make less than $4,741 per month in order to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Beginning November 1st, the same family must make less than $4,481.75 in order to qualify for Chapter 7.
Again, these are not huge decreases, but in many cases a few hundred dollars can mean the difference between completing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case in 4 to 6 months and being in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy for 3 to 5 years.
Also, it is a sign of the times that this is the third straight time when median incomes have gone down - demonstrating that American families continue to see wages and income reduced resulting in more debt and more bankruptcy filings.
If you need to file bankruptcy, it is worth your time to visit with a bankruptcy lawyer in the month of October before the new fees and numbers take effect. My bankruptcy consultations are always free. Give me a call at (480) 420-4028 or shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we can go over your financial situation and determine what the best option is for you and your family.
