When Mary Jo White was installed as the SEC's chair in April, I had little doubt she would be well-suited for her new role. She is extremely well regarded in the securities bar, and doubts about "ties to Wall Street" compromising her effectiveness seemed overblown to me. I wondered, though, whether her tenure would change the Commission dramatically from that of her predecessor, Mary Schapiro. But four months in, the record has tangible evidence of real changes. Since she's arrived:
Last week brought another example. On Friday, the SEC filed an action in the Eastern District of New York to enforce an administrative order requiring payment of monetary sanctions that was all of six days old.
The underlying case arose from an alleged fraud at a small hedge fund. According to the SEC, Anthony Vicidomine misappropriated $189,000 from the North East Capital Fund in the form of unearned "incentive fees" and used the money to pay his own personal expenses. Vicidomine also allegedly made misrepresentations about his own investment in the fund, his use of procedures to mitigate investors' risk of loss, and an independent audit of the fund. Vicidimone and North East Capital settled their case with the SEC on August 16th with an order to pay $346,000 in monetary sanctions within three days.
As it turns out, the SEC wasn't kidding. But Vicidimone didn't pay the judgment in three days. He didn't pay the judgment in four or even five days. On the sixth day, Mary Jo White's SEC had had enough, and sued in Brooklyn federal court to put an end to that nonsense. As the Commission's application said on Friday, "The deadline for payment has passed, yet Respondents have not paid a cent."
I have to say, this seems odd to me for several reasons. First, the SEC frequently requires payments to be placed in escrow before approving settlements, though it must not have done so here. Second, while the guidelines can shift with different Commissioners, the SEC has sometimes waived financial penalties against defendants who truly cannot pay them. It's not a popular policy within the SEC, but it can allow cases to be resolved more quickly when defendants are plainly tapped out and will not be able to cover the losses they've caused. Third, when payments have not been escrowed but are still compelled, the Commission typically gives ten days to send a check covering the amount.
I don't think I've seen a case where the SEC gives three days to pay, sees nothing, and files an action in federal court six days later to enforce the judgment. It almost makes me wonder if the Commission is trying to send a signal: ignore our orders and we'll sue you again and get a federal judge to sort out the mess.

"As an artist, my work has been displayed worldwide with international showings in Canada Place (Canada), Japan, Australia, England, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, two major showings, private displays to international personalities, Vancouver Art Gallery (B.C. Canada) and recently at the B.C. Festival of the Arts."
"I have been nominated for the Order of British Columbia, Honorary Doctor of the Arts, Instructor, Newspaper columnist, Ambassador to the Arts of the Handicapped, Federal and Provincial Representative to the Arts, Very Special Arts Contributor, and Telethons. I have also utilized my arts in the Motion Picture Industry for the past several years and have been on Television and in Newspaper interviews."
Moving from the city of Vancouver to the Interior of British Columbia 24 years ago, was a natural inclination of a Wildlife Artist, with no regrets. Living in the interior of British Columbia is a wildlife artists dream.
This fortunate move to such wonderful surroundings has been a great adventure indeed! The senses are, at times, overwhelmed by the demanding imageries - shadow, depth, color, warmth, smells and sounds. No matter where you look, the ever changing moods are stirred, bringing forth the "More then you can handle" impressions of life around us.
By no means has the earlier process of my work as a portrait artist come to an end, far from it! The raising of my four children has offered me an endless variety of child life paintings in a land of a thousand and more lakes and in the adventures in the life of a child.
Although I do paint in oils, most of my work is in acrylics. Portrait painting comes naturally, easily...Wildlife was a challenge that I have now come to accomplish with great joy and satisfaction and hopefully, a pleasure for all.
My studio consists of all an Artists needs. Paints, brushes, knives, canvases, acid free paper and illustration board and easel' but I do prefer to paint on a tilting table or drafting board. A library of wildlife books, portrait books and natural history books fill my shelves.
I'm very fond of the "OLD MASTERS" work and of the fine art of "High Realism Painting" whether that be portraits, wildlife or landscapes. I like to put a bit of abstraction into my work in order to make the viewer feel a sense of change and not so hum drum. I try to make the painting "Come Alive." This work is a collage of many years of experience and has been seen the world over. It's truly an adventure in the art of high realism.
"In this world of so much disorder and turmoil, I hope to bring to you a lasting sense of warmth, security and natural order. Something for you ...something to last for generations to come."
"I'm impressed that you are able to control acrylics, they are one of the hardest to work with in my humble opinion...really, very nice!" - Bryce Cameron Liston
"I'm impressed. Your work is excellent. Keep it up" - Richard R.Miller
"Your painting of Michael Landon actually took my breath away...it's so true to life. Wonderfully done" - Barbara Neibors Deal Ph.D
"Your work seems worthy indeed. Congradulations on it and all good luck" - Charlton Heston (Actor/Director)
"The care and attention he puts into every brush stroke...His profile is as understated as He is."- Free Press

By Barbara Romanik
Is Canadian writing post-national? Is this a trick question? Here in Winnipeg? Here in the gassy belly, or the indigestion-ridden centre of Canada? Perhaps bloated and floating like an air pocket in Canada's gut, I can gnaw at the truth and be contradictory. I can read national and write post-national.
Because what I'm studying right now is early twentieth-century Canadian prairie writing, I am reading Ralph Connor, Robert Stead, and Adele Wiseman. If I were reading this stuff in Toronto, someone, maybe the editors of BRICK, would stage an intervention.
But here in Winnipeg, I feel like it's not only geography acting on me. I mean I don't feel post-national when I walk south of Portage and Main (going north might prove problematic and dangerous in the middle of the night). But when I walk south of Portage and Main, something about these buildings reminds me how we haven't yet found new ways of thinking about ourselves here in the lower belly of Canada. Our worlds are still very much overshadowed by the early twentieth century myth of nation building and resource extraction. Just look at the Agriculture Canada building at 269 Main with its grain motif. Don't tell me that if you squint its architecture isn't slightly reminiscent of Third Reich propaganda films?
Or the Union Train Station. Although it's VIA Rail whenever I see it, I keep thinking of trains, and trains of people. Nothing about it makes me think post or outside of physical labour, the physicality of bodies, of sweat, heat and the cold.
The term post-national implies that we may have all at some point been and written national. As an immigrant perhaps like some Indigenous writers, I have never felt the privilege of being on the inside, of being fully national or Canadian. And so I am sceptical about this post-national sleight of hand, the dismissal of the history and reality of marginalization and colonization. As if it just came from the outside, from Britain and then the States. As if the people (writers included) who have made their home in Canada for several generations are not responsible for their actions. As if they lacked free will and judgment.
My point is that as much as we may aspire toward modernity and originality we can't take the national out of post-national. If we have something to say as writers that is. Critics will come up with ways to talk about what we are doing, trust me I am one of them, but we don't have to make it easy for them. After all, I am finishing a novel that is set mainly in Warsaw and Chicago, with chapters in London, Kolkota, and even in Edmonton and Fredericton. Do I hope my book's themes resonate for a wide audience? Yes, I do. Do I hope my novel gestures towards a new way of seeing ourselves, our worlds, and that it offers something to the future? Of course, I do. But I also hope it speaks to the past, to the history of Canada—the general and the specific one which is mine.
For me, the most interesting Canadian writers are the ones who are reaching towards the future, with one foot in the past. So with that in mind I will suggest three Canadian books that I will make my students read if someone is foolish enough to ever let me teach literature: Michael Ondaatje's Coming Through Slaughter (1976), Dionne Brand's A Map to the Door of No Return (2001) and Marvin Francis's city treaty (2002). I know I am supposed to say something literary but really all I can say is that these authors get IT. Madness, racism, colonialism, they get at the things that most Canadians learn to keep neatly tucked in their closets or under their beds. Yet at the same time Ondaatje, Brand and Francis have managed to write books that you really just want to take home and fuck. They're that good. And I don't mean the one night stand kind of fuck but the I'm taking you hostage, love of your life kind of a thing.
So on this night, I retreat from Portage and Main and seek out sugar at Robin's Donuts at Fort and York. In the artificial light, listening to the banter of the heavily made-up cashier and one of her regulars, I'm inspired to compare Winnipeg to a donut hole. It's a very strange place to be—in it I feel completely immobilized and silent, one minute, and fearless and free to say what needs to be said, the next. Perhaps as a writer and a critic it's the best place to be.
And another thing. If you have time to read more than three Canadian books read Connor's The Foreigner (1909), Stead's Grain (1926) and Wiseman's Crackpot (1974), you know, so I have somebody to talk to, about them. Because maybe they didn't always get it, Connor and Stead in particular, but these three writers were some of the first to actually write about Winnipeg and Manitoba. They tried to get at what it meant to live here, in the donut hole. Like Adele Wiseman's prostitute heroine, Hoda, who goes down to Winnipeg's City Hall to check herself for infectious diseases:
Have you ever noticed that motto up front? I mean what's written up on that big fancy shield, right in the centre of the building, up over the front doors. You know, like, our city motto. You don't even know your own city motto? What kind of citizen are you? I know it all right. I ought to. It say, 'Commerce, Prudence, Industry.' That's my motto too, in fact. I figure if it's good enough for my home town, it's good enough for me. Commerce? Any time you like. Prudence? What do you think I'm doing here with the bottle? Industry? Hell, I ain't had no complaints yet. I figure I'm a model citizen. What I want to know is where does it get me? Ten-twelve years ago, believe it or not, I was sitting here just like this, holding my sample and waiting for the doctor to tell me what a beautiful specimen I got. And here I am still sitting with the bottle. Instead of those pictures they have on that shield up there, that nobody looks at anyway, you know, the sheaf of wheat and the buffalo and stuff, they should pay me to go sit up there, just like I am now, or maybe in my bareskin, on a bench, holding the bottle in my lap. People would look then all right. Yeh.

Juan Pablo Montoya returns this weekend to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, scene of the greatest triumph and arguably the two greatest disappointments of his racing career.
Montoya, 35, is in his fifth full season in NASCAR after leaving Formula One to join Chip Ganassi's Sprint Cup operation. In 164 starts, the Colombian has two wins, both on road courses, with a best finish of eighth in the standings in 2009.
The 2000 Indianapolis 500 winner, when he led 167 of 200 laps, and 1999 CART champion could easily be a two-time Brickyard 400 winner. He has dominated the race each of the past two years but was unable to close the deal either time.
In 2010, he was leading on lap 138 when he pitted under caution. His team opted to change four tires while the other leaders took two, and he restarted seventh. On lap 146, in his haste to get back to the front, he hit the turn-four wall. He finished 32nd despite leading 86 of the 160 laps.
In 2009, he had more than a five-second lead when he pitted with 26 laps to go. He was caught speeding on pit road and assessed a drive-through penalty. He finished 11th despite leading 116 laps.
Montoya talked about those misfortunes, his season and career, and his thoughts on the $5 million Izod IndyCar Series season finale in Las Vegas in a conversation with Star assistant sports editor Steve Ballard:
Question: You're 17th in the standings and probably need a win to secure your spot in the Chase. And now you have to adjust to a new crew chief as Jim Pohlman is taking over for Brian Pattie. How do you assess your season to this point?
Answer: We started really strong, then May came along and we lost a ton of points. We're just fighting with the car too often. Sometimes I don't understand why it does the stuff it does.
Q: With Indy coming up and a few weeks later Watkins Glen, where you're the defending champion, are you still optimistic about what you can accomplish this season?
A: We're in a decent points position, but with the new Chase (format), we need to win a few races. There's a big group of people, positions seven through 14 or 15, who are saying they can still make this thing. When you try to make up a bunch of points at the end, you usually lose more than you gain.
Q: You have been good at Indy, in any kind of car, right from the start. What is it about that place that seems to suit you so well?
A: I don't know why I do well there, I just do. Even my first Cup race there I ran well. Every time I go there, it's like, "This place is awkward," but I still run fast so I don't mind.
Q: You could easily be coming to Indy this year as the two-time defending champion. How tough has it been to accept letting those two races slip away?
A: It's frustrating the way they worked out, but at the same time, we ran good and I'd rather (be doing) that than run 25th all day. One was a supposed speeding violation and the other was a wrong call (in the pits). But it's not about blaming people, it's about getting the job done. I feel good to go back there. I know I'll have a pretty good car, and that helps.
Q: How are negotiations going on a contract extension with Earnhardt Ganassi Racing?
A: It's pretty much set. I guess that's the best way of putting it.
Q: So you'll be back in the No. 42 car next year?
A: Yeah.
Q: You're closing in on having 400,000 followers on Twitter. What is it about tweeting that appeals to you?
A: It's good for the fans to know you a little bit. You can show them exactly what you do, and it takes five minutes of your day. I think it's pretty cool.
Q: Do you have a large Hispanic following?
A: I get a lot more responses in English. I did open-wheel here in the U.S., I did Formula One here, now NASCAR. Why I get so many (followers), I don't know. I guess people like what I do. It shows that everything I've done in my career meant something.
Q: Do you miss open-wheel racing at all? Ever had any second thoughts about changing careers?
A: Not really. Somebody asked me the other day to compare driving an open-wheel car at Indy to a stock car. The last time I drove an Indy car there was 11 years ago. So get over it. I did.
Q: I'm sure you're aware of the $5 million IndyCar is offering to a driver from outside the series who can win the season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. If you don't qualify for the Chase, would you consider it?
A: I don't think so. The price for winning it is great, but if you don't, it's going to cost you money. You'd have to go to Indy two or three times for seat fittings. You'd have to test. I ran the numbers, and with the amount of money you would have to spend, the incentive is just not there.
Q: If you were to do it, do you think you could win the race?
A: Would I have a chance at winning? I'd say I would, probably. It could be done, but it would be tough beating the guys who do it every week, guys like Dario (Franchitti) and Scott (Dixon). If I had never done it over there, maybe (I would be interested). But my first season, I won seven races there. So it's one of those deals, been there and done that. And I know how fast Vegas is. So thank you, but no thank you. I'll pass.

Today's managers are so much more than simple caretakers. Self-storage managers are responsible for a facility's marketing, daily and monthly maintenance, signage, security, renovations, curb appeal, sales, customer service, site inspections, lien sales and auctions, community relations, website, ancillary services and products, and more. Day-to-day self-storage operation requires a different set of skills that includes the handling of operational essentials, customer-service savvy, phone etiquette, legal know-how, and sales and marketing finesse. Managers must define their markets, determine rental rates and concessions, deal with the media, choose effective advertising, and understand online marketing all while keeping an eye on the facility's bottom line.

Why we started our company :
Before starting our new company, we both worked at Marmol Radziner Prefab for over 5 years, where Jared served as director of architectural services. While there, we won several national design awards and our homes were written up in numerous magazines such as Dwell, Builder, Newsweek, Time, Architectural Digest (a first ever for a prefab house) and GQ (dubbed "Masterpiece in a Box"). Here are a few links to some of the articles about the homes we worked on while at Marmol Radziner Prefab:
But after spending close to six years working in the prefab world, we saw a lot of problems in the prefab industry as a whole and in particular, the modern design segment that we were part of. We decided to set out to find a better way.
First, we took a step back and looked at the conventional home building industry, which we also spent many years working within. As most of us know who have ever built anything, the conventional home building industry is fraught with problems. It is an industry that basically reinvents the wheel with every new home. And in a globalized, industrialized economy, housing is arguably the last remaining industry that is still completely localized. The process is very complex and time consuming. If you want to build a new, green, modern house, you have to first find and hire an architect whose work you like and who has experience with green building and who is in your local area. You then go through a sequence of long design, engineering, and approval processes. Then you need to find local general contractors in your area whose work you also like and who have experience building green, modern homes. You ask them all to bid on the home, then select a contractor and finally, you start building. Now the fun really starts. Change orders. Rain delays. The electrician (not to single them out -- you get the picture) doesn't show up. You start to hate your contractor, your architect and you start screaming at strangers for no reason. By the time the dust settles, you are way over budget and way over schedule. This is the status quo of the home building industry. This is not to say that some amazing homes aren't the result of this process – there are many, many examples. But it's not for everyone and it's not for the faint of heart. Prefab is supposed to offer an alternative . . .
But it hasn't to date, for two main reasons: delivery (reason one) and how it affects cost (reason two). The entire modular industry uses oversized building modules (they think bigger is better) in order to limit the number of modules used to build a house. The problem with this strategy is that to deliver the modules they need specialized trucks and special permits and routes to use the road. When all is said and done, delivery costs can be staggering. To ship an industry standard sized building module across the nation costs over $20,000. To ship one overseas costs over $80,000! A typical prefab home of five building modules would cost over $100,000 to deliver cross country and over a whopping $400,000 to deliver it overseas. The result? Modular homes are cost prohibitive if they need to be delivered outside a 200 mile radius from the factory. So these factories become localized, just like conventional homebuilding. This is the status quo of the modular home building industry.
We realized that everything we just told you is crazy. So we spent the past two years developing a patent pending modular system that cuts delivery costs by close to 90%. If you like one of our homes (we hope you do!), we can send it to you, wherever you are, without breaking the bank. Drawing on our previous prefab experience, we designed our prefab system and our homes to be simple, smart and efficient. Typical prefab systems complete only 55% of the house in the factory. We complete over 90%. This maximizes the efficiencies from building in a controlled factory setting and better controls costs.
This is not to say that we are perfect; we aren't. But we recognize these issues and want to confront them head on, not hide behind the status quo.
Our mission :
We want to make great homes. Our mission is to deliver modern homes that are affordable, green and available wherever you are.
What we do :
- We are architects with many years of experience designing and building modern, prefab homes and continually strive to find the simplicity within the complexities of home building.
- We try to be smart and efficient about our designs and have our homes connect people to the outdoors.
- We have done all the green homework so you don't have to.
- We believe that homes with smaller footprints, both ecologically and literally, make a lot of sense.
- We use a patent pending modular system that enables us to ship our homes anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost of standard modular homes.
- We know that building a new house is a big deal. And a big investment. We are dedicated to serving the customer and making it as smooth a process as possible.
What we don't do :
- We do not use repurposed or retrofitted shipping containers. They contain a lot of toxic materials, are very difficult to re-purpose, and really aren't meant for habitation.
- We do not offer a kit of parts or panelized homes. We believe that then asking your local general contractor to put it all together and assemble the parts on site doesn't make sense and in the end will lead to more headaches and higher costs.
- We won't have you talk to sales people who aren't architects or designers about your new home and the home building process.
Bios :
Jared Levy co-founded Connect:Homes to offer an affordable alternative for those looking to live with great design and experience a better way of building. The inefficiencies within conventional home building lead to a process for both architect and owner that is too difficult and time consuming– Levy wanted to simplify these complexities, streamline the entire process and challenge the status quo.
As the Director of Architectural Services at Marmol Radziner Prefab, and an instrumental player in the launch of the company, Levy oversaw the design and fabrication of close to 40,000 square feet of modern, innovative and highly customized prefab homes. Due to high transportation costs, he realized that modular homes could only be cost effectively delivered to those who lived within a 200-mile radius of the factory, let alone across the country or overseas. Transporting modules inexpensively was a challenge Levy felt he could overcome.
His work has appeared in numerous publications including Time, Dwell, Architectural Digest, Wired, Architectural Review and GQ as well as winning design honors and awards from Sunset-AIA Western Home Awards, American Institute of Architects, Green Dot, ID Magazine and AFLA Design Green Awards. Levy has a Bachelor of Arts, BSA in Architecture, from the University of Michigan, and a Masters of Architecture, from the Southern California Institute of Architecture.
Gordon Stott is proud to launch Connect:Homes with his partner, Jared Levy, to seamlessly incorporate the efficiencies of factory production and the elegance of product design into the world of home building. Stott worked on the prefab team at Marmol Radziner Prefab during the housing boom and watched the company open its own factory. He was impressed with the conveniences prefab offered, and yet discouraged with how financially unattainable modern prefab homes were for the average American.
With an architectural background from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Stott draws upon the basic tenets he learned in school: good design should solve problems elegantly, clearly and efficiently. Stott believes that closing the gap between "architecture as art" and "products as design" will be the trend in home building.
His award winning work has been published in Dwell, Architectural Record, ID and Metropolis Magazines. Stott also teaches as an adjunct professor at the Woodbury University School of Architecture, Los Angeles.

Depending on your entry point into dance music, the tracks showcased in the following piece will either wow you, confound you, or spark a whiff of pure '90s nostalgia. Much to our pleasure, we'll say, Vibe has gone ahead and assembled a 30-spot of must-hear dance tracks from the '90s that really changed the game as we know it.
Believe it or not, before the current craze for it took hold, dance music managed to crack the mainstream/underground divide quite a few times in the past, particularly in the '90s, when "electronica" stars Chemical Brothers were collaborating with Oasis' Noel Gallagher and even Saturday Night Live was spoofing the club scene. With such a strong underground at the time, it was only natural that things would bubble up above ground, producing both credible and throwaway tunes that would come to define the era, from everyone from The Prodigy and Artful Dodger to Corona and Alice Deejay. So check out 30 of those now-classic jams right here and pick up a few of them below from Beatport.

Game Preview: Liberty @ Lynx
The New York Liberty (4-7) travel to Minnesota to play the Lynx (10-1) Thursday, June 21 at 8pm. The Liberty are in pursuit of their first win against a Western Conference opponent and first win against the Lynx this season. The game will be available on WNBA LiveAccess.
New York bounced back from a bad loss in Connecticut with a 73- 60 road win against the Atlanta Dream. Both teams played without one of their star players. The Dream played without Angel McCoughtry due to a sprained knee and the Liberty played without relentless worker Plenette Pierson due to a calf injury. With a spot in the top four of the Eastern Conference Standings on the line, New York stepped up by showcasing a balanced attack. Cappie Pondexter produced a well-rounded stat line of 14 points, a whopping 13 assists, and 6 rebounds. Leilani Mitchell added her own balanced stat line of 10 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds. Essence Carson continued to impress contributing 14 points, and 5 rebounds.
Plenette Piersons injury appears to be a nagging one and she may be out for the count again this Thursday. Hey injury means increased opportunity for other post players like DeMya Walker, who replaced Pierson in the starting lineup, and Kia Vaughn. Vaughn, the 2011 WNBA Most Improved Player added 12 points and 5 rebounds in Tuesdays victory. Kia Vaughn is the physically strongest player on the Liberty squad, with good height and body control. She is quick, at her best when close to the rim, aggressive, and works hard for second and third chance opportunities. Each season she has improved her shooting touch and is finding success rolling or slipping in the Libertys pick and roll offense. In practice you can hear her directing and encouraging her teammates; Vaughn, though young, is one of the team leaders.
Early in the season, the Liberty lost to the Lynx 80-62 at home on May 22nd. Cappie Pondexter and Essence Carson led the Liberty with 15 and 13 points, respectively. The Liberty did not have an answer for Seimone Augustus as she went off for 22 points. Maya Moore put out a strong performance of 15 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. Four Lynx players scored in double digits. The Liberty were outrebounded 38- 31, shot 33% from the field, 25% from three, and were limited to only 7 assists.
Minnesota boasted the best start in WNBA history with 10 wins in a row before suffering a 65-62 loss to the Seattle Storm Sunday, June 17th. The Lynx and Storm were nearly identical in many categories: The Lynx had 16 assists while forcing 16 turnovers out of the Storm. The Storm had 17 assists while forcing 17 turnovers out of the Lynx. The Lynx even out rebounded the Storm 34-27. In spite of these numbers Seattle was able to pull off the upset because the Lynx shot the ball poorly. Minnesota shot 37% from the field and 25% from the three-point line. Even with those numbers, the Lynx still managed to come back from a 17 point first half deficit to keep the game close. The Lynx are a dangerous offensive machine with options inside, out, and on the run. They are typically unselfish and efficient, leading the league in assists, field goal percentage, and three point field goal percentage. The Liberty can attempt to achieve similar results as the Storm by locking down in Coach Whisenants White Line style defense. The Liberty hope to force the Lynx into bad contested shots against help-side defense and low shot clock situations.
The Lynx are led by the long and lanky All-Star Seimone Augustuss 17 points per game. Maya Moore adds tremendous strength and athleticism on the wing to average 14 points per game. Lindsay Whalen is one of the top point guards in the league netting nearly 11 points, dropping about 5 dimes and grabbing 4 rebounds per game. While Taj McWilliams-Franklin helps to clean the glass snagging 5 rebounds per game, the force inside is Rebekkah Brunson averaging 12 points per game and a very solid 7.9 rebounds per game- good for 5th in the league.
On occasion you will find Seimone Augustus guarding Cappie Pondexter on the wing. In their May 22nd meeting the strategy of putting size and length on the explosive Pondexter slowed her down and disrupted how aggressive Cappie was offensively. The Liberty are the underdog in Thursdays matchup and New York needs Cappie to find good shots, take good shots, and make good shots, consistently, to pull off the upset on the road. This becomes especially important if Plenette Pierson is unable to play again due to injury. So yea no pressure, Cappie.

Can't seem to let go..
I find it rather hard for me to not bother about my ex-company anymore. In fact, I'm still in touch with my ex-colleagues and we often exchange stories. Kinda sad…as I could say, there's no end to office politics. Latest news, one of my ex-colleague follow my lead and tender his resignation very recently.
I should not bother about it at all, but somehow I feel happy that my friend also leaving the company. Hohoh. Keji? Yes, I know…what an evil to feel that way. But I can't help myself. There must be something wrong with the company, if more than 1 person quit kan? In my case company ok, cuma yg branch Malaysia ni sengal. Kalau nk kerja dgn my x-company tu, better pergi main branch or HQ in Sweeden and Denmark. Furthermore, semua quit about the same time. Kalau I sorang jer yg quit, then something wrong with me la kan. But hello [to management], have you ever think before why ALL [yer semua yerr..bukan sorang dua] the engineers come and go just like that?
Before myself, one of my ex-colleague also had tender his resignation. One of the main reason kiterorg terlalu byk sangat kerja and problem nk kene solve at one time. Dah lah kerja from A-Z sorang2 kene buat, totally one man show. My male ex-colleague yg quit earlier than me tu siap menangis sbb tak tahan pressure. That bad. I pon nagis jugak [almaklum drama queen] Lepas dah siap bina plant and run the plant, kalau ada problem within warranty period tu, tetap kami2 jugak nk kene handle. Project baru masuk pon nk kene buat. Last-last kerja jadi menimbun! Iron Man pon boleh lumpuh separuh badan mcm ni tau.
I don't want to give a damn about it anymore, but can't seem to let go the memory or forget everything about my previous job. However, as much as I hate it…..I'm very much still keep on thinking whether not the bosses understand message that we are actually trying to convey. Takkan nk satu department tender baru nk sedar? We are done with the company. At least I think am done with it.
On a similar note, tomorrow will be Imran last day. He also being lured to stay by few of his bosses. Dari boss kecik…sampai la ke boss Jepun besar! Tapi what's the point? Dulu2 kenapa tanak appreciate? Dah nk blah baru nk keluar mcm2 plan for him and counter offer bagai. I think diaorg ni kene belajar art to deal with people especially staff la. Learn to appreciate. Long term investment tu.
Ok la, I know am jobless now, should not talk much about this. Huhu. Ok la org tkder kerja ni nk tido tengahari. Sila komen yer. Nnt karang I reply. Dalam pukul 4.

Buzz: Yuniesky Maya pitched for Scouts
Cuban pitcher Yuniesky Maya threw for scouts in the Dominican Republic last week.
Jorge Arangure of ESPN.com quotes a scout who watched Maya as saying he threw in the 88–92 mph range, while sporting a fastball, two-seamer, a slider, curveball and a changeup.
The Mets and White Sox are the front-runners to sign Maya, according to a recent report on Globedia.com.
Maya's agent, Bart Hernandez, told Arangure, "Due to his arsenal of pitches, Maya projects as a starting pitcher… It would be a shame to put him in the bullpen. He's in the prime of his career. It's not like he's a young kid needing development."
In one start and two relief appearances, during last spring's World Baseball Classic, the 27–year-old Maya allowed one earned run in seven innings, while walking two batters and striking out four.

British author Laline Paull is setting the book world abuzz with her debut novel, an imaginative and gripping tale which takes place in a beehive. Paull began studying bees after a beekeeper friend died; the fascinating societal structure of the hive inspired her to write The Bees.
Flora 717 is a worker bee living in a hive valuing conformity. Born "obscenely ugly… and excessively large," Flora is saved from immediate execution because a ruling class priestess wants to use her in an experiment. The hive's rigid caste system relies on mind control and strict job divisions, which keep the hive operating for the good of the group, but its totalitarian mindset allows no individual freedom. Flora defies the limitations of her Sanitation class: She is able to speak, block other bees from accessing her thoughts and use her abilities to forge a unique role for herself when the survival of the hive is threatened.
In creating the intricate life of this honeybee colony, Paull did everything from attending beekeeper classes to watching nature unfold in her backyard. She blends factual bee behavior, like building honeycomb nurseries or the "dancing" and antennae touching which bees perform to communicate information, with elements of goddess worship, Catholic prayer and the British monarchy in her creation of a detailed parallel world. As in nature, The Bees is sometimes chillingly violent. It is also surprisingly funny, with its swaggering Drone class reminiscent of any Animal House frat bro collective hopped up on testosterone.
The Bees is being compared to the modern classic Watership Down by Richard Adams for its thrilling adventure and social commentary wrapped up in an animal story. This story makes a perfect book club choice or escapist summer read as Flora 717 takes the reader on a wild flight. Is Flora a traitor or a savior? The bees in your garden will never look the same again.

Reagan celebration hailed a major success
Former President Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004 at age 93, would have turned 101 on Monday. In honor of the occasion, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, 40 Presidential Drive in Simi Valley, will host a birthday celebration for the nation's 40th commander-in-chief at 10:30 a.m. For more information, go to http://www.ReaganFoundation.org.
A Time magazine cover depicting a smiling Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama might best symbolize the value of Reagan's yearlong centennial celebration that draws to a close Sunday, according to the historian who edited his diaries.
Published Feb. 7, 2011 to coincide with the centennial kickoff marking what would have been Reagan's 100th birthday, the magazine cover features a photoshopped image of the late president with his arm around the commander-in-chief next to the headline: "Why Obama ♥ Reagan."
"I think the centennial helped cement Reagan with the American public," said Douglas Brinkley, who teaches history at Rice University in Houston. "Reagan has cult followers and he certainly had Republicans, as leader of the conservative movement, but even now you'll find left-of-center people saying, 'You know, Reagan was a lot better than this crop of Republicans today.'
"So he's sort of expanded his reach into Democratic territory on the centennial," said Brinkley, who edited "The Reagan Diaries," which was published in 2007 and became a New York Times #1 best-seller. "You had Barack Obama on the cover of Time magazine — Barack Obama's hero is Ronald Reagan. Obama's carrying (Reagan biographer Lou) Cannon's book around with him. So even a Democratic president was embracing Ronald Reagan on the centennial."
According to Time, Obama has "affection for Reagan's political style" and had begun using Reagan's "career as a helpful template for his own."
John Heubusch, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, pronounced the centennial celebration, both at the library and around the world, a success.
He said it achieved one of its major goals: to raise $100 million for an endowment to ensure the library and museum's future. The foundation, whose charge is to preserve and promote Reagan's legacy, operates the library and museum.
"I'm certain, not only in modern history, but in all likelihood in U.S. history, there's never been a grander celebration of a centennial for a United States president," Heubusch said Thursday. "We had a very ambitious plan, starting a couple of years ago, and I think it exceeded our expectations."
Pete Wilson, a former Republican California governor like Reagan, agreed.
"I think it was a tremendous success," said Wilson, a Reagan Foundation trustee. "We reached a very broad audience and the response has been, without exception, very favorable.
"I think what it really did, and what we wanted it to accomplish, was to remind people of the extraordinary contribution that President Reagan made and even more importantly, set the stage for a lot of young people of succeeding generations to focus on their own history — the history of their country," Wilson said.
Americans surveyed in a Gallup poll last year ranked Reagan as the greatest U.S. president. But in a poll of 284 American college professors released this week, 43 percent of the respondents didn't rank Reagan among the top 10 U.S. presidents, with 17 percent ranking him among the worst. The academics' top three were: Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and George Washington. The survey was conducted for the conservative Young America's Foundation, which owns the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara. Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed identified themselves as liberals and 16 percent as conservatives.
Centennial events at the library included a Reagan tribute concert on Feb. 5 featuring The Beach Boys and Lonestar; a 100th birthday celebration on Feb. 6, 2011 that included a flyover by F-18 jets off the USS Ronald Reagan; and the official wreath laying at Reagan's grave site with former First Lady Nancy Reagan in attendance.
The Reagan Museum, which underwent what Heubusch said was a $15 million upgrade, officially reopened Feb. 7, 2011 in conjunction with the centennial.
A Republican presidential debate was held at the library Sept. 7 featuring eight candidates, including current front-runner Mitt Romney and No. 2 contender Newt Gingrich, both of whom would like to be seen as the inheritor of Reagan's mantle — a much-coveted prize in Republican circles.
Gingrich, a former Speaker of the House, frequently boasts on the campaign trail that he was close to Reagan, having worked with him while in Congress. Former Massachusetts Governor Romney's campaign says Gingrich is exaggerating his Reagan ties.
Other centennial-inspired events included symposiums at USC, Notre Dame and other universities; Reagan statute unveilings at Reagan Airport in Arlington, Va., London and Hungary; a Reagan street renaming in Prague, the Czech Republic capital; and partnerships with NASCAR and eight Major League Baseball teams, according to Heubusch.
In Simi Valley, 2011 attendance at the library and museum was 436,273, up 20 percent from the previous year, said Communications Director Melissa Giller. Still, that's not a record, she said, noting it was higher in 2004, the year Reagan died at age 93, and 2005, when the museum's Air Force One Pavilion opened.
Giller said centennial-related memorabilia sold "very well" at the museum's gift shop, but she could not provide total sales figures. As the centennial wound down, the museum offered 40 percent discounts on such select items as a blue crystal paper weight that regularly sold for $74.95 and a jelly bean jar that normally went for $119.95.
Someone who has never been to the museum is Simi Valley resident Richard Carter, chairman of the Ventura County Democratic Party Central Committee.
"I don't really have anything positive to say about Ronald Reagan," Carter said Thursday. "He didn't really represent my values or what my party stands for.
"The museum is a landmark for Simi Valley, but unfortunately for us Democrats, many people recognize Simi Valley because of it."
Not all museum-goers earlier this week were aware that 2011 was his centennial celebration.
Tom Cushing, 33, of Pittsburgh, was touring the museum for the first time while on a business trip to the Los Angeles area.
"It's very impressive and I actually found it somewhat inspirational," Cushing, a registered Republican and Reagan admirer, said Wednesday. "But to be honest with you, I just hadn't heard anything about it being his centennial celebration."
But Jim Radcliff, 53, of St. Louis, another big Reagan fan, knew about it.
"Absolutely," said the Republican-leaning independent. "If you're paying attention to politics, you would know." He described the museum as "outstanding."
Brinkley, the editor of Reagan's diaries, said the centennial has helped solidify in the public's consciousness Simi Valley's association with the 40th president.
"I think Simi Valley has become almost a symbol for Ronald Reagan," he said. "People will say it's become a landmark spot like Antietam or Gettysburg or Mount Rushmore. You say Simi Valley and it means the Reagan library. So it's become sort of ground zero for all things Ronald Reagan."
