My artwork is always expressive, either portraying the beauty of the world in which we live or in social and cultural comment. I use lush rich colours on contemporary hand painted digital canvasses. The unique methods I utilise have been developed through a love of experimentation. Embracing the new media of digital painting has replaced my years of traditional paintings as medium of choice. The visual metaphors and symbolism in my works allow me to convey thoughts and emotions of who we are and our place in the world. Carl Rolfe was born into an artistic family. He studied fine art at Canberra School of Art, followed by Illustration and Graphic Design at Victoria University. A multidisciplinary artist with numerous solo and group...

Leo Prieto CHCI Alumnus July 2008
Leo Prieto
Kansas City, MO
CHCI Internship 1999: Senator Sam Brownback
CHCI Fellowship 2000-2001: 1st Placement: Rep. Luis Gutierrez; 2nd Placement: U.S. Department Justice, Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practice
CHCI Scholarship 2003
What have you been doing since you finished the CHCI program(s)?
I worked at the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute from June 2001 to August 2003 as the First Central States Regional Director in Kansas City, KS. I coordinated grassroots leadership development programs and voter registration campaigns for twelve states. After receiving a law degree from Kansas University I began to work as Director of Latino Relations for the Kansas City Wizards serving as a liaison between the team, the Hispanic media and Kansas City Latino community and international markets. My responsibilities included marketing, sourcing corporate partnerships, creating Spanish language media opportunities, grassroots efforts, advertising/marketing opportunities, charitable work, political activism and working closely with youth and adult soccer leagues. I have been promoted to Director of Corporate Partnerships where I handle corporate sponsorships. The revenue generated in MLS soccer is strategically a result of companies reaching out and targeting Latino communities. I also handle international friendly matches and partnerships.
What impact did your CHCI experience have on your career and development as a leader?
CHCI was an amazing experience that changed my life. It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone, gave me confidence to compete and be amongst the best, and allowed me to develop my diverse leadership skills at all levels. It gave me the political, corporate, and legal experience as a foundation to succeed in anything that I do.
How have you stayed engaged in community service?
In law school through educating undocumented workers on their rights and through USHLI, organizing and mobilizing Latino voter registration campaigns and motivational speaking in Latino communities.
What advice would you give current and future CHCI participants?
Get out of your comfort zone and be yourself. People will forget your name, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget the way you made them feel.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?
In five years as the "Mexican Jerry McGuire" and in ten running for national office.

Dr. Franziska Brantner is Member of the German Bundestag from Heidelberg. She is Spokeswoman on children's and family policy and Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Civilian Crisis Prevention, Conflict Management and Integrated Action. Until October 2013 she was a Member of the European Parliament.
(Deutsch) Schluss mit dem Gezerre um Kita-Ausbau
Zum Streit innerhalb der Großen Koalition über das weitere Vorgehen nach dem Aus für das Betreuungsgeld erkläre ich:
"Was nach dem eindeutigen Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zum Betreuungsgeld nicht passieren darf, ist ein weiterer zeitraubender Streit innerhalb der Großen Koalition. Die Mittel in Höhe von knapp einer Milliarde Euro, die durch den Wegfall des Betreuungsgeldes künftig jährlich frei werden, müssen im Etat des Bundesfamilienministeriums bleiben und insbesondere dem Ausbau von Kitas und Bildung zu Gute kommen. Verhandlungen darüber dürfen nicht erst im September geführt werden – womöglich zeitgleich zu den Haushaltsberatungen. Mit jedem Tag, den das jetzt schon nervige Gezerre zwischen Union und SPD anhält, nimmt das Risiko zu, dass diese Mittel in den allgemeinen Bundeshaushalt zurückfließen und sich am Ende nur einer die Hände reibt: Finanzminister Schäuble."
A different perspective on German-Egyptian relations
Daily News Egypt.
The reasons to the Greens' opposition to President Al-Sisi's state visit in Berlin explained by Franziska Brantner and Omid Nouripour, members of the German Bundestag.
Egypt: German Federal Government must condemn arbitrariness of justice
In face of the sentences of three of the leading activists of the 2011 revolution, MP Franziska Brantner states:
The sentences of Ahmed Maher, Ahmed Douma and Mohamed Adel reject again all hopes for rule of law and democracy in Egypt. As founding members of the 6 April movement, Ahmed Maher and Mohamed Adel have been fighting to empower democracy. Three years after the revolution that raised hope for a demoratic development, the military regime under el-Sisi is turning on liberal democracy movements. Their actions are a fatal sign for the upcoming elections. The convictions furthermore proof again the consolidation of the old security apparatus under Mobarak: Through persecution and repression of muslimbrothers, liberal democracy movements, NGOs and human rights groups the military regime is securing its power. That sort of behaviour should no longer be tolerated by the international community. The German Federal Government finally needs to reveal its strategy on egypt. We expect Secretary of State Steinmeier, who is working on a realignment of the german foreign policy, to condemn clearly these arbitrary verdicts.
Conflict in Syria: EU must involve UN General Assembly and push for peace talks
Commenting on the debate on possible responses following the use of chemical weapons near Damascus and the search for possible solutions to the Syria conflict, Green foreign policy co-spokespersons Franziska Brantner and Ulrike Lunacek stated:
"The use of chemical weapons represents a shocking breach of international law that must not go unanswered. While urgent action is now required by the international community, no decision should be made before the findings of the UN expert mission are available.
"Any international response must take place within the multilateral framework. Last night's meeting of the UN Security Council suggests it will not fulfil its mandate of maintaining world peace, notably due to Russia's obstructionism. Against this background, the EU should push for the United Nations General Assembly to address the conflict as a matter of urgency. The General Assembly should consider and decide on possible international reactions to the use of chemical weapons, as well as possible ways out of this brutal war, which has already claimed more than 100,000 lives. more
Egypt: EU must be consistent to remain credible
Commenting on the regime's violent clearing of the protestors' camps and the consequent bloodshed and lethal clashes in the Egyptian streets, Franziska Brantner, foreign affairs spokesperson of the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, said:
"Despite considerable mediation efforts and repeated warnings by the EU and the US, addressing the current Egyptian regime to refrain from a violent clampdown on the Muslimbrotherhood's protest camps, the regime cleared the camps by force leading to bloodshed and a deep crisis. Now, the EU must act more
Egypt: EU must seize momentum for a sustainable reconciliation
Following the meetings of High Representative Ashton in Egypt and amid continued danger of escalation in the streets of Egypt, Franziska Brantner, foreign affairs spokesperson of the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament, said:
"I welcome Ms Ashton's initiative, which has raised hopes in Egypt. The EU must now maintain the momentum through a series of intensive and prolonged meetings at different levels and with mediation experts. more
Egypt: Between Military Coup and a Second Revolution? Lunch Event on the New Wave of Protests and the Road Ahead
On July 10th Franziska Brantner hosted a video-conference together with MEP Ana Gomes (S&D) and the Cairo based Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI), titled "Egypt: Between Military Coup and a Second Revolution? The New Wave of Protests and the Road Ahead". The event was organised to shed some light on the dramatic events that have been unfolding in Egypt since the 30th of June.
Among the speakers were Gamal Eid, the Director of ANHRI; Hossam Hendi, one of the founders of the Tamarod (Rebel) Movement, which organised the 30th of June Protests; Ziad Elelaimy, MP for the Egyptian Social Democratic Party in the last Egyptian Parliament before it got dissolved; Priyanka Motaparthy, Cairo-based researcher for Human Rights Watch; and Ziad Abdel Tawab, Deputy Director of the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies. In Brussels Dr Nawal Saadawy, a well known Egyptian feminist and activist, also joined the event. more
Call for a UN peace conference for Egypt to prevent bloodshed and guarantee an inclusive transition process
Commenting on the continued mass protests and escalating violence in Egypt, MEP Franziska Brantner, foreign affairs spokesperson for the Greens/EFA group stated:
"I am deeply concerned about the current developments and increased violence in Egypt and believe the international community should do more than stand by and watch. The EU and USA must send a strong message to the Egyptian army that they will not support it following a military coup. At the same time, the EU and USA must urge President Morsi to both find a peaceful solution to the crisis and call for early elections, failing which it will stop any financial support. more
Review of the External Action Service: Ashton needs to tackle shortcomings in the EU's diplomatic service
Today the European Parliament adopted its recommendations for reforming the European External Action Service. When the service was founded in December 2010, EU High Representative and foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton was tasked to review the functioning of the service within three years' time. She is expected to release a report to that effect in the coming weeks. With its critical and constructive recommendations, the European Parliament is contributing to the ongoing debate. After today's votes, Franziska Brantner, Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs of the Greens/EFA group, said:
"Although nobody should expect miracles after only three years, some important structural short-comings have emerged in the External Action Service's operation. Catherine Ashton should quickly address these issues. The service is marred by three key problems: It is too top-heavy, too inflexible, and its structures are not conducive to forging a comprehensive policy approach. more
Continued impunity: torture and abuse by military and police in Egypt
On June 4th Franziska Brantner hosted a discussion together with Amnesty International and the Cairo based Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) on "Torture and Abuse by Military and Police in Egypt: Continued Impunity?". The event took place simultaneously in Brussels and Cairo, the speakers joining the Brussels audience via video-conferencing. Among the speakers were Gamal Eid, the Executive Director of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, Dr Raghda Abdul Hameed Sleit, psychiatrist at the Nadeem Centre for the Rehabilitation of Torture Victims, Mohsen Bahnasy, human rights lawyer and member of the Commission of Inquiry into military abuses during the revolution, and Hossam Bahgat, the Director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights and initiator of "A Police for Egypt", an initiative for Egyptian police reform. In Brussels Dr Nicolas Berger, the Director of Amnesty International's European Institutions Office, co-moderated the event. more
Franziska Brantner initiates Europe-wide debate on peace mediation and a European Institute of Peace
Franziska Brantner has initiated a Europe-wide discussion on the European Union's role in peace mediation. After preparatory workshops in Paris, Berlin and Sofia, policy makers and experts from Europe and beyond will gather at the European Parliament on May 28th for one of the largest conferences ever on this issue. The initiative to create a European Institute of Peace, promoted by Franziska Brantner and others, will feature prominently in the debate on the EU's mediation capacities.The conference will be live-streamed and a video recording will be available online.
The promotion of peace and the prevention of conflict have been key drivers in the development of the European Union, as recognised by the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize. The creation of the European External Action Service, with its global network of EU Delegations and a dedicated mediation support team, has enhanced the EU's capacity for peace mediation over the last couple of years. more
A story of broken promises: Franziska Brantner discusses recent wave of arrests in Egypt
On Tuesday, 7 May 2013 Franziska Brantner hosted a Lunch Event together with the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) and the Cairo based Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) entitled " Civil Society Under Fire: The Recent Wave of Arrests in Egypt". The event took place simultaneously in Brussels and Cairo, the speakers joining the Brussels audience via video-conferencing. Among the speakers were two activists currently facing trial as well as representatives of human rights organizations based in the region. Just as the international focus is shifting away from Egypt, events like this are more than needed to hear from the people on the ground. The picture the panellists were painting today is rather worrying: there is clear evidence that the space for civil society is shrinking and the judiciary is being used to silence critics. For a full report of the event click here: more
Lunch Event: "Civil Society Under Fire: Recent Wave of Arrests in Egypt"
Franziska Brantner and The Arabis Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) invite to the Lunch Event: "Civil Society Under Fire: Recent Wave of Arrests in Egypt", 7 May 2013, from 12:30-14:30 in the European Parliament in Brusseks. This event forms part of a speakers series on the current situation in Egypt, integrating civil society representatives, activists and experts from Kairo in the debate via video-conferencing. Follow-us via web-stream or twitter (#EgyptVoices). more
Feasibility studies: European Institute of Peace would enhance Europe's conflict prevention and peace-building capacities
A European Institute of Peace for mediation and dialogue would add value to Europe's conflict prevention and peace-building toolbox and justify its costs, two recently published studies concluded. On Franziska Brantner's initiative, the European Parliament commissioned two independent studies on the creation of a European Institute of Peace. The first study examined whether there was a need to create such a institute for peace mediation and dialogue, and which options for implementing the proposal exist. The Parliament subsequently commissioned a follow-up study in order to estimate the financial implications of setting up and running a European Institute of Peace. The studies, carried out by independent consultants, concluded that there is a need in Europe for a peace institute and that its benefits would outweigh its costs. more
Youth activists from across Europe act against austerity
Youth in Crisis was a full day conference of the Greens/EFA Group in the European Parliament and the Federation of Young European Greens. Around 200 young people (young activists, students, unionist, green activists and other partners from youth movements and civil society) from all Europe discussed the future of youth in Europe and what policy instruments can be used to counter the various crises of our time.

Two years after the revolution: Franziska Brantner's second visit to Egypt
In early April Franziska Brantner travelled to Egypt for the second time, to get a personal impression of the situation on the ground. She met with different members of civil society, politicians as well representatives of human rights organizations. The focus of her trip was the current human rights situation and how it has developed since the revolution, in particular the status of women. Furthermore, Franziska Brantner wanted to find out what kind of EU support would be effective in supporting the difficult current transition process. more

Fabricio Werdum wants to personally invite you to watch him fight Big Nog
Vai Cavalo and Minotaruo -- these Brazilians and their tendency to be named after hoofed creatures are inescapable. I bet if minotaurs were actual creatures, Alistair Overeem would proudly eat the meat from it, lightly grilled over an open fire. Minotaur meat, the most elusive red meat in the world. It only exists in mythological stories and can only be cooked on mythological grills and consumed with fantasy steak knives. You also need a twenty-sided dice and a pocket protector to handle it.
From what numerous people have told me over the months, the UFC's first incarnation of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil was absolutely stunning. It was filled with amazing knockouts, beautiful submissions -- and above all else, the absolute manhandling of Britney Palmer. Although I haven't seen more than one episode of this season's TUF Brazil 2 between Werdum and Big Nog, I caught every episode of last year's TUF Smashes: Australia vs. UK. There's just something appealing about viewing mixed martial arts on an international front. In fact, let's remove TUF from the states and just implant it in regions across the world that are notorious for their obscure behavior -- like Russia.
On June 8th Werdum and Big Nog will stop inside of an Octagon, the two greatest heavyweight jiu-jitsu players in the UFC -- and they'll probably stand for fifteen minutes. That's just what happens when two amazing grapplers get in the cage that are over 185 lbs. Check out this Aaron Tru video of Werdum personally inviting the world to watch him take on Big Nog at the TUF Brazil 2 finale which will air on Fuel TV next month.

PAWTUCKET — Early Saturday morning, Shea High's English as a second language teacher Barbara Fell placed three cases of freshly-made pancakes in her car for the trek from her home in Foster to the East Avenue school.
The idea was to serve a "Fisherman's breakfast" — which includes flapjacks, bacon and coffee — to early shoppers attending the first-ever Shea High School China-Bound Team Yard Sale, to be conducted inside the basement cafeteria.
"I'm from Foster, and this is the first day of fishing season statewide, so I figured it would only be appropriate to have a 'Fisherman's breakfast," Fell smiled Saturday afternoon. "I also figured people in Pawtucket would know what it was, but when a few asked me where the fish was, needless to say, I knew it wasn't going to go too well.
"Now I've got a ton of pancakes to take back home."
The good news for Fell and Yard Sale co-coordinator Pam Fisette? Between 8 a.m.-4 p.m., they reeled in between $400-500 from folks interested in purchasing clothing, dishes, lamps, sporting goods, stuffed animals, children's games, toys, you-name-it.
Fell and Fisette admitted they already had collected about $16,000 of the $20,000 necessary to make the trip to Hengshui High, Shea's sister school in Hebei Province, located in northern China, but still have a balance of approximately $3,500.
The group of three chaperones, including the co-coordinators and social studies teacher Glenn Hopkins, and nine students will board a plane to China on April 18, and will return on April 30. Among the students: Seniors Olivia Figueira, Kandice Ko and Zachary Bettencourt; and juniors Tatyana Leita, Christy Guerrero, Liana Weeks, Tiara Heredia, Darlene Cante and Kassandra Florez.
"It was my idea to have a yard sale, because they're very popular in Foster/Glocester, and I hoped we could raise some money," Fell explained. "We cleaned out our basements and attics, and brought the items here for people to buy. I borrowed some tables from Tolman High and rented them to folks for $15 a piece. Most of those people will donate the funds they raise to help us out."
Fisette explained that Louis Yip, a Pawtucket businessman and former owner of the China Inn, had donated $5,000 to the cause, and also will supply a bus for a contingent of about 15 Chinese students, teachers, administrators and chaperones who will visit Shea in early June. He also will provide some housing for that group.
"Mr. Yip has been a terrific asset and contributor in making this trip possible," Fisette stated after the yard sale had moved, at about 10 a.m., from the cafeteria to the sidewalk outside the school, as some people had trouble finding the side entrance. "In fact, he's going to meet with us in China, and we're all going to go out to dinner."
Other donations have come from Collette Vacations, which is handling all travel arrangements; Bristol County Savings Bank; Pawtucket Teachers Alliance; Alliance Credit Union; and even Shea teachers, staff and administrators.
"We've already had several fundraisers over the past months," Fell noted. "We had a Zydeco dance, a 'Shea's Got Talent' Show, vendor fairs, candy drives and calendar raffles. We even had a 'Biggest Loser' contest. I have my personal trainer's license, so I ran it for six weeks from the end of March to April 8 for the teachers and staff. And our Vice Principal, Cindy Voss, won."
On this day, some students – even their parents and other relatives – aided in the sales, while a few of the kids admitted the idea of traveling to the Far East is beginning to hit them.
"My mom and grandfather rented tables because they wanted to help me finish paying for my airfare, which is about $1,200," Figueira said. "I'm really excited about it. It's something new to experience before I go to college. I'm going to Florida Southern University (in Lakeland), and I'm going to study to become a veterinarian.
"Last year, I had friends who went, and they said it was awesome," she added. "They had a blast, and loved everything about it. There was nothing they didn't like, except they missed having burgers and fries, pizza, that kind of stuff."
Offered Leite: "I think it's going to be a real eye-opening experience. I've been to the Cape Verde islands before, but I was raised in a Cape Verde family, so that I was used to. I think going to China is really going to be different. The food is different, and the schools are very different, much more disciplined.
"I think it's going to help me appreciate what I've got here. I mean, I'll complain sometimes about having to go to school for six hours every day, but I've heard that Chinese kids have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning, be at school at 6 (a.m.) and are there until 10 o'clock at night, every day, Monday through Friday.
"I don't care, though. I'm still psyched about visiting a totally different culture. I also feel this is an opportunity of a lifetime, something not many people get, especially at our age."
Weeks indicated she's very worried about affording the trip.
"I'm really stressed out, because my airfare is going to be $1,200, and I had to put $200 toward my down payment back in December," she mentioned. "I had to raise the rest myself, so I took part in the talent show and I've sold candy and raffle tickets. The good thing is I only have about $80 left.
"I want to see the things I see in magazines or on TV, like the Bird's Nest (site of the 2008 Summer Olympics' track and field events, soccer games and Opening/Closing Ceremonies), the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. I think it's going to be really fun."
Guerrero revealed she was worried about saying or doing something that may offend their fellow Chinese students and their teachers.
"I know there are things we're not supposed to talk about, like Taiwan, Tibet and Tiananmen Square, or politics," she said. "Ms. Fell and Ms. Fisette, and (Principal) Dr. (Chris) Lord, told us, 'Whatever you do, don't bring those up. It's considered offensive to them.' So I'm not going to."
Heredia spoke of a more basic concern.
"I've never flown before, so I'm scared about the plane ride and going to the airport. I know it's going to be a great experience, so I plan on overcoming the fear. Really, is there a better reason than going to China?"
A group of Shea students traveled to its sister school for the first time between April 14-28, 2010, and Hengshui students and teachers returned the favor by visiting Rhode Island last June. In fact, a few Raiders' females invited Chinese boys to their prom, said Business Teacher Sue Cipriano, who made that trip and volunteered her services at the yard sale.
When asked how she'd attempt to gain the balance of the necessary $20,000 in only a week, Fell just grinned, "Maybe I'll sell pancakes on a street corner."
For more information on the China-Bound team, or to donate any amount to aid in the trip, call Shea High at (401) 729-6445.

Mabale's school head teacher Lawi Amuga (left) receives a computer donation from Mrs Alice Were the Mama Miriam Foundation. She urged pupils and students to embrace technology. Photo/ Frankline Bwire.
Mabale primary school in Busia County Tuesday received a computer donation from Mama Miriam Foundation.
Presenting the computers to the school headmaster the Foundation's President Alice Were said her organization was committed towards uplifting standards of under privileged children who have performed well in school, but unable to advance their education.
"We uplift children who are not able to cater for their education despite having performed outstandingly in their academics," she said, adding that they will also provide the same to Osieko primary school in Budalang'i constituency.
Addressing pupils at the school, Mrs Were said she had learnt that with the advent of Information Communication Technology many schools in rural areas are yet to be introduced to computer technology.
She said the gift of the computer will assist to introduce the pupils to computer skills in a bid to boost their education at an early age.
"Pupils should embrace technology and work hard being a world of internet. The earlier they get exposed to computers the better for them in the society," added the organization's president.
In politics of Busia County
Mrs. Were who is aspiring for the deputy governorship seat, urged women to come out handy and seek for various elective positions under the new devolved structure to help address the patriarchal face of Busia politics.
She said women should take advantage of the new constitution that has given them muscles to ensure they participate fully in the leadership of the County.
"We need support from all persons to ensure we fill positions provided to us by the new constitution," said Were, adding that she is out to battle for the seat and has started fighting for the position.

White House pushing out one of nation's top generals?
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 01/25/2013 @ 12:05 am In U.S. | No Comments
(Fox News) CENTCOM Commander Gen. James Mattis reportedly is being forced out of his current post several months early, possibly over disagreements with Obama administration officials over policies toward Iran and other international issues.
Journalist Tom Ricks first reported that Mattis was facing an early exit, and insiders tell Fox News that the general was increasingly making the White House nervous while butting heads with National Security Adviser Tom Donilon over Iran.
Mattis has been in charge of military efforts in the Middle East since August 2010, and previously he led the Marines into Iraq in 2003.

Ted Lilly Rumors
Ted Lilly Joins Cubs Front Office
It's only been a couple of months since Ted Lilly decided that his pitching days were over and announced his retirement, but he didn't stay out of the game for long. The Cubs announced today, via press release, that Lilly will join their front office as a special assistant to president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer.
Per the release, Lilly will work with young players in Spring Training, visit the team's minor league affiliates over the course of the regular season, evaluate amateur players leading up to the draft and also perform professional scouting assignments.
Lilly spent parts of four seasons with the Cubs from 2007-10, posting a 3.70 ERA with 7.6 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 705 2/3 innings. At the time of his retirement, Lilly called his years with the Cubs the best of his career, noting how grateful he was to have had the opportunity to experience the postseason with a winning team in a "great city."

Ted Lilly To Retire
FRIDAY, 3:26pm: Lilly's agent Larry O'Brien confirmed to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (via Twitter) that his client is retiring.
WEDNESDAY: 1:23pm: Left-hander Ted Lilly's comeback attempt has stalled due to persistent shoulder and back pain, and the 15-year veteran is set to announce his retirement from professional baseball, he told Andreina Salas Guzman Venezuelan news outlet El Universal (Spanish link).
"My body in general is telling me that I can't take any more," Lilly told Guzman. "I feel like I don't have the ability to continue at the Major League level."
Lilly, 37, recently had nerve endings in the right side of his neck cauterized in an attempt to alleviate neck pain that had been hampering his ability to pitch. That procedure seems to have been effective, as he told Guzman his neck feels ok, but he's far from pain free: "It's principally the pain in my back and shoulder. I'm having problems there. I feel like I can't return to being the pitcher I was a few years ago."
Lilly told Guzman that he's disappointed and feels "awful," as he never expected to be forced into retirement when initially traveling to Venezuela for winter ball. He looks back on his first two years with the Cubs fondly, noting that he pitched well and was on a good team in a "great city," calling those seasons the best of his career. Though he tells Guzman that he enjoys teaching baseball and won't rule out coaching in the future, his immediate plans are to spend time with his family, and he won't be seeking a coaching job anytime soon.
Lilly's career will come to a close with a 130-113 record, a 4.14 ERA and 1,681 strikeouts in 1982 2/3 innings of Major League action. Originally a 23rd-round pick of the Dodgers back in 1996, Lilly spent parts of 15 seasons with the Expos, Yankees, Athletics, Blue Jays, Cubs and Dodgers. He earned more than $80MM over the course of his big league career, according to Baseball Reference. Congratulations on an impressive career, and best of luck in life after baseball, Ted.
Thanks to MLBTR's Nick Collias for the translation of Guzman's article.

Ted Lilly Aiming To Pitch In 2014
Persistent neck pain limited Ted Lilly to just 23 Major League innings this season, but the left-hander is playing winter ball in Venezuela with an eye toward getting back to the Majors in 2014, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca.
Lilly's agent, Larry O'Brien, told Nicholson-Smith that his client visited a cervical spine specialist and had the nerve endings on the right side of his neck cauterized. "The procedure has given him relief," O'Brien told Nicholson-Smith.
Lilly, 38 in January, is aiming for 35-40 innings this winter. The 15-year veteran totaled just 71 2/3 innings over the final two seasons of his three-year, $33MM contract with the Dodgers. He totaled a 3.74 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 975 innings between the Cubs and Dodgers from 2007-11 — his age 31-35 seasons.
Lilly got off to a strong start in 2012, pitching to a 1.79 ERA through his first seven starts. In his eighth and final start, however, he yielded eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. He missed the remainder of the season with shoulder pain before undergoing surgery on his left labrum in September that year. Lilly returned in 2013 to post a 5.09 ERA in his 23 innings. Lilly has a long history of injuries, as he's only topped 200 innings twice in his career, but signing him would come with little to no risk for a team in need of rotation depth and a veteran presence.

Giants Back Off On Lilly
5:44pm: Upon reviewing Lilly's medical history, the Giants decided to hold off on pursuing a minor league contract at this time, MLBTR has learned. As we had mentioned earlier, his agreement had been pending a physical.
1:45pm: The Giants have signed lefty Ted Lilly, reports Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. MLBTR has confirmed the minor league deal, which is pending a physical. Lilly, 37, was designated for assignment by the Dodgers last month and released a few days ago. The Dodgers are on the hook for the remaining $3.7MM or so on his contract, less the prorated portion of the league minimum of Lilly returns to the Majors with San Francisco. Lilly is represented by Larry O'Brien of Full Circle Sports Management.
Lilly joined the Dodgers from the Cubs at the 2010 trade deadline. In October that year, he signed a below-market three-year, $33MM deal in lieu of exploring free agency again. He was solid in 2011, but missed most of 2012 due to shoulder pain, culminating in September surgery. This April, the Dodgers faced a rotation surplus after signing Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu, and got into a standoff with Lilly when he refused a minor league assignment. Lilly eventually made a couple of starts that month when Chris Capuano went down, but went on to have separate DL stints for rib cage and neck injuries prior to his release.
The Giants make sense for Lilly in that he's a California native, though with Ryan Vogelsong slated to come off the DL Friday, the Giants don't appear to have a rotation spot for the southpaw unless they trade Tim Lincecum or move Chad Gaudin or Barry Zito to the bullpen. A relief role is also possible for Lilly, however.

Dodgers Request Release Waivers On Ted Lilly
AUGUST 4: The Dodgers have requested unconditional release waivers on Lilly, a source told Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. Lilly will become a free agent, if he goes unclaimed during the 48-hour waiver period.
JULY 25: The Dodgers have designated veteran left-hander Ted Lilly for assignment to clear a roster spot for utility player Elian Herrera, the team announced on Twitter. Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles adds (via Twitter) that the move comes as a result of a disagreement on whether or not Lilly would head to the minor leagues to adjust to a relief role.
Lilly, 37, is in the final season of a three-year, $33MM pact that he signed with the Dodgers prior to the 2011 campaign. He's battled injuries for much of the past two seasons, as evidenced by four separate DL stints since the onset of the 2012 season. He had shoulder surgery last September and has thrown just 23 innings for the Dodgers thus far in 2013. He hasn't pitched at the Major League level since June 4.
Lilly's role with the team has been in question all season, following last season's August acquisition of Josh Beckett and the offseason signings of Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu. Much was made of the Dodgers' surplus of starting pitchers prior to the season, as Lilly, Aaron Harang and Chris Capuano all appeared to have lost their rotation spots due to the aforementioned acquisitions. Now, only Capuano is left with the big league club, while Beckett and Chad Billingsley have been lost to season-ending injuries.

Quick Hits: Agents, Lilly, Harvey
Agent Jamie Murphy of TWC Sports, in an interview on Buster Olney's Baseball Tonight podcast on ESPN, says that client-stealing by other agents isn't particularly prevalent in baseball. When players do change agents, Murphy says, it's mostly "for the right reasons," such as, for example, a player changing from an inexperienced agent to a more experienced one. Murphy represents Nick Markakis, Mark Ellis and David Aardsma. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- Ted Lilly will start for the Dodgers next Wednesday, with Chris Capuano heading to the disabled list with a calf strain, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News writes. The Dodgers had a brief standoff with Lilly last weekend when the lefty refused a minor-league rehab assignment. That flareup was resolved, but it still wasn't clear whether the Dodgers might trade Lilly. But with Zack Greinke and Capuano on the DL and Aaron Harang gone via trade, the Dodgers' quandary about what to do with Lilly appears to be resolved, at least for now.
- Former Mets GM Omar Minaya credits former scouting director Rudy Terrasas with advocating for Matt Harvey when New York picked him No. 7 overall in the 2010 draft, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports. "Rudy Terrasas was the one who brought him to my attention. Rudy deserves a lot of the credit for this one," Minaya says. "The thing that impressed me most about Harvey was the way he sustained velocity. He was throwing 96, 97 late in the game. He's doing that now, and he had that when I saw him in college." Harvey has pitched brilliantly so far this season, posting an 0.82 ERA while striking out 25 batters and walking six in his first 22 innings.

Dodgers Face Decision On Ted Lilly
5:55pm: Lilly has agreed to make another minor league rehab start, according to ESPN's Buster Olney (on Twitter). Presumably, this will buy the Dodgers a bit of time to make a decision, but the clock is still ticking.
7:44am: The Dodgers are at a standoff with lefty Ted Lilly after the 14-year veteran refused a minor league assignment Saturday, reported MLB.com's Ken Gurnick yesterday. The team must activate him, designate him for assignment, release him, or trade him.
"We laid out a plan and Teddy doesn't want to be part of the plan. It's out of my hands. We didn't feel he was ready to pitch at the Major League level. For me, it's a baseball decision. It's nothing personal in any way, shape or form. We're giving him our baseball thoughts, what we think is best for him and the team," manager Don Mattingly told Gurnick.
Mattingly did say using Lilly in relief is a possibility, though the team (and perhaps the pitcher) is not enamored of the idea.
Lilly began the 2012 season on the disabled list with a neck injury, and in May hit the DL again with shoulder inflammation. That ended his season, and he had shoulder surgery in September. Still recovering, he began this year on the DL as well. He's made two minor league rehab starts, allowing five earned runs in six innings in each. The Dodgers recently moved Chris Capuano to their rotation to replace the injured Zack Greinke.
The Dodgers created a rotation surplus this winter in signing Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu, but they received little for Aaron Harang earlier this month and Lilly has been similarly devalued. Lilly is earning $12MM this year, so the Dodgers would again have to pick up a significant portion to move him. They could certainly buy some time by sticking him in the bullpen, though doing so repeatedly with veteran starters is not a great way to do business. In the long-term, this Harang/Capuano/Lilly situation could dissuade some mid-level players from signing with the Dodgers.

NL Notes: Lohse, Lilly, Mets
The Brewers' Kyle Lohse visited with his old team in the Cardinals' clubhouse on Saturday, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports. Lohse signed with the Brewers after a long offseason that began with Lohse and his agent, Scott Boras, declining the Cardinals' qualifying offer. There wasn't much of a market for Lohse after that, mostly because the team that signed him would have to sacrifice a draft pick. He finally signed a three-year, $33MM deal with the Brewers. Lohse reflects on the twisting path that led him to Milwaukee: "[Declining the Cardinals' qualifying offer] makes me look bad, [because] that's a lot of money. But is it fair value for what I had done? No," says Lohse. "Even going back on it, I'd still do the same thing. You have to go out and take your chances. Now, going forward, I don't know what other people in my situation are going to do." Here are more notes from the National League:
- Ted Lilly's status with the Dodgers is in question, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com writes. The Dodgers asked Lilly to make two more rehab starts, but Lilly declined, feeling he is ready for the majors. The Dodgers don't currently have a job available for him on their crowded pitching staff, however. The Dodgers would reportedly like to trade Lilly, who they owe $12MM in 2013.
- Mets GM Sandy Alderson denies recent rumors connecting his team to the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, Matt Balasis of MetsMerized Online reports. Alderson says his team has not had talks with the Marlins since early spring. Alderson also says the Mets will not trade catcher John Buck.

Cafardo On Norris, Rangers, Lilly, Dodgers, Tigers
In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes that baseball could eventually return to Montreal. While it has always been known as a hockey town, Montreal has been responsible for such great baseball talent as Hall of Famers Andre Dawson and Gary Carter, "Le Grand Orange," Rusty Staub, Tim Raines, Marquis Grissom, Cliff Floyd, Randy Johnson, Dennis Martinez, Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga, Moises Alou, Vladimir Guerrero, and Tim Wallach. The city is looking into the possibility of giving Expos fans something to cheer about again and they claim that the strength of the Canadian dollar coupled with revenue sharing can help make it work. Here's more from Cafardo..
- Pitcher Bud Norris improved his stock after he beat the Rangers on Opening Day and he should bring the Astros a good haul between now and the trade deadline. One longtime National League adviser believes that the Rangers might be the team to scoop him up.
- After unloading Aaron Harang in yesterday's trade with the Rockies, the Dodgers would still love to find a taker for Ted Lilly, who earns $12MM this year. However, there has been little to no interest in the veteran so far.
- There aren't many people who think that the recently re-signed Jose Valverde can be the Tigers' closer, but could add to their mix in the bullpen. One AL evaluator feels that they have to move and get themselves a proven closer in a hurry.
- Kip Wells, soon to be 36, is available and throwing 93 miles per hour, according to his agent, Burton Rocks. The veteran reliever made seven starts over the summer for the Padres last season.

Cafardo On Norris, Overbay, Mortensen, Dodgers
Here's the latest from the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo:
- Pitcher Bud Norris of the Astros has "drawn interest from at least six teams," but Houston does not appear interested in trading him.
- The Yankees have had discussions about Lyle Overbay, who could platoon with Juan Rivera at first base in Mark Teixeira's absence. Overbay is currently with the Red Sox, but he has an out clause in his contract that he can trigger on Tuesday.
- The Red Sox aren't inclined to deal reliever Clayton Mortensen, even though he is out of options.
- The Orioles, Brewers, Indians, White Sox, and Mets have all had "internal discussions" about surplus Dodgers starters Chris Capuano, Ted Lilly and Aaron Harang, and scouts feel that the Dodgers will ultimately trade at least one of them.
- The White Sox are looking for another starter because John Danks, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, has struggled this spring, allowing 21 runs in 11 innings.

The Case for Fragrance Family Loyalty
By: Laura Donna, Consumer Fragrance Education, LLC
Posted: May 23, 2012, from the June 2012 issue of GCI Magazine.
This article originally ran in the February 2012 issue of Perfumer & Flavorist magazine. All rights reserved.
Fine fragrance marketing initiatives and sales training continue to ignore the fundamental tie that binds people to their perfume—the olfactory experience of wearing a favorite scent. The fragrance industry continues to dance around the edges of olfactory marketing, but hasn't gotten religion, investing only half-heartedly in promotional programs based on fragrance families. Sales training and tools have yet to properly harness the power of The Fragrance Wheel and its ability to predict scents that will inspire loyalty and repeat purchases (F-1). New research proves overwhelmingly that women purchase and wear perfume falling into a narrow olfactory range. Isn't it time for the industry to do a better job connecting consumers to scents they will enjoy?
Fine fragrances belong to categories based on their olfactory characteristics. Research by Manuel Zarzo and David Stanton proved that two-dimensional maps of scent developed from the late 1800s to present are largely consistent.1 Summarized in layman's terms by this author, Zarzo and Stanton's research confirms that Michael Edwards' Fragrance Wheel has earned its place as the gold standard for fine fragrance mapping.2 This wheel is the basis for Edwards' Fragrances of the World, a comprehensive database and annual guide that allow users to search according to a fragrance of interest and immediately identify others that have much in common from a smell perspective.3 It is also possible to search olfactory categories for commercially available fragrances within them.
Sales Practice, Training and Tools Today
For most readers, the existence of fragrance families is hardly a news flash. Then why aren't they used more commonly in perfume and cologne marketing? The bottle, packaging and branding contribute in important ways to the relationship between consumers and their scents. Marketers understandably emphasize visuals when promoting fine fragrance. Personality and lifestyle questionnaires are also commonly used to suggest scent purchases. These tests are indirect at best and unreliable at worst in predicting smell preference. In a terrifically crowded fine fragrance marketplace, is it not in the interest of fragrance manufacturers, marketers and retailers to assure that shoppers are better equipped to narrow the field to something they might actually enjoy smelling?
While some retailers have launched consumer-based computer applications and mini-displays of fragrances based directly or loosely on Edwards' work, the concept of olfactory marketing has not entered sales training and practice in a consistent or meaningful way. In its introductory curriculum, The Fragrance Foundation briefly mentions fragrance families. In more advanced training, the foundation covers the families in somewhat greater depth, but at no time does the curriculum explicitly demonstrate the process for using fragrance families to identify scents customers might enjoy.

Boy Scout Troop 129 conducted an Eagle Court of Honor for Dylan Stupka of Los Alamos on Jan. 6 at White Rock United Methodist Church.
Stupka was born in Colorado on Aug. 11, 1991. He joined Cub Scouts at age 6 and finished by earning all Webelos pins and the Arrow of Light in 2001.
At this time, he joined Boy Scout Troop 129. On the road to Eagle, he earned 38 merit badges, including the scout-craft trilogy of pioneering, wilderness survival and orienteering at Camp Cris Dobbin under the tutelage of his brother Jake.
He was the first camper to complete orienteering that summer.
His present goal is to earn three Eagle palms before Aug. 11.
Stupka has attended six summer scout camps. The highlight of his scouting adventure was an 87-mile trek at Philmont Scout Ranch.
Having climbed Mt. Massive and Mt. Elbert, he is twice a holder of the Troop 129 altitude record. Since age 5, Stupka has participated in ice hockey and has won New Mexico state championships at two levels. He was rated the number one high school goalie in the state in 2007.
As a senior, he continues his quest for a championship at the high school level.

World of Darkness
Role playing game system
I started with role playing games almost two decades ago. The idea always attracted me, but the only problem was finding the right group and join them for a campaign or two.
I started with role playing games almost two decades ago. The idea always attracted me, but the only problem was finding the right group and join them for a campaign or two. When I managed to find a group of people, another obstacle appeared; almost ninety percent of them were into Dungeons & Dragons. Don't get me wrong I like good fantasy campaign from time to time, but D&D always encouraged you to have a classic "fellowship going on a quest to rid the world of evil" type of game. Along with other things you most often had a human,an elf and a dwarf type of group and everything was black and white, with players being the good guys. Not to mention that you always ended up in a copy pasted Middle-earth. But to me role playing games offered something else; what if I didn't want to be a good guy? What if I wanted to be a monster, or at least a character who doesn't give a damn about moral code? And if I was a bloody monster why would I want to run in the forest chasing elves? No, I wanted my monstrous characters prowling back alleys of modern Tokyo or New York, because you can do so much more there, then in Middle-earth…
Then I found out about World of Darkness:
It came out in 1991 when White Wolf Gaming Studio released it's title Vampire: The Masquerade. For me it started several years later when I stumbled upon it by accident and was immediately thrilled by the setting. World of Darkness is similar to our world, but to put it simply it's just darker. You have governments and corporations with their conspiracies, but above all you also have supernatural creatures wandering during the night, some of them even during the day. In it, humans have never been on top of the food chain, and if you hear kids talking about an old house at the end of the street being haunted, then it probably is. You could play a human character in World of Darkness, but it encouraged you to play one of the monsters instead. It offered you to be a vampire, werewolf, mage or one of the fae folk. Each of this races had their own clans, traditions, enemies and agendas. One thing was for sure, your character was never bound by human laws or morals, he or she followed her own plans. White Wolf described the genre of the World of Darkness as Gothic-Punk.
Rebooting the World of Darkness:
As it grew in population and titles got released, White Wolf Gaming Studio decided in 2004 that it was time for a reboot. They issued new versions of rulebooks for each of their main playable races and tidied up the world a little bit. Some of these titles I already played or am still playing and some of them still await for the right group of players to appear. Anyway each of these titles will be covered here on Mean Goblin magazine so prepare your dices, character sheets, sharpen your fangs and claws for it is time for gaming, away from keyboard and with supernatural horrors, starting with:
World of Darkness – a storytelling game:
I always played it this way. What if all the conspiracies and secret societies existed and above all, creatures that supposed to live in horror stories and movies were real too? But you weren't one of these creatures, you were merely a human that got involved in something way over your head? The core World of Darkness rulebook is very open ended, you can do virtually anything, but the most important thing in the game is creating good characters and background stories for them. What if you were:
- Police detective trying to find a serial killer which leaves his victims behind without a single drop of blood left in their bodies. Then when you finally encounter "it" you find out that it moves too fast, jumps too far and your gun doesn't even slow it down.
- News reporter covering a story about people who reappeared after being missing for years and suffering from a complete memory losses.
It is up to your imagination to create your character and keep him or her alive. When we played human characters in World of Darkness, most often we searched for inspiration in similar TV shows, movies or books like:
- The X files: conspiracies, aliens and government cover ups. The show offers plenty of themes you can cover within your game.
- Millenium: an excellent spinoff of The Xfiles that was mostly about investigations of serial killers and often dealing with apocalyptic or demonic forces.
- Works of H.P. Lovecraft: just about anything from his work fits here. Where can you find better inspiration for a story about characters investigating the unknown
- Clive Barker's Hellraiser and Nightbreed: excellent stories about people that knew too much
Aside from player characters the world should be populated with interesting people and main theme for your story should be mystery, dread and unknown things lurking behind a corner. Characters involved should have a hard time to find the truth and when they do, remember that they are not some knights in shiny armour heading straight for the happy end. The closure of the story should never be final, it should lead only to more questions, if they made it alive they are lucky and if their sanity is intact they are even luckier. So if you and your friends are fan of titles mentioned above and have some extra time to spare, World of Darkness is definitely the place you should explore.
Also if you played anything from World of Darkness or any other role playing game system you are very welcome to share your experiences here…

((too true, but it's a role play requirement to have a glowing object! today marks the great event; the gathering of all the people in the rp, to be bound together in a group aka the starting of the real storyline, where we move through the land together.))
The quiet man in the corner of the inn was the type to be overlooked. He was short, pudgy around his middle, with a dishevelled face, and eyes that cowered away from faces, like a beaten dog. He had only bought one drink all night, and was still nursing it, though it was now warm and stale. Yes, like everyone else in the common room of the inn, only more so, he was a man to be overlooked. Everyone's farms had abruptly failed, half of their houses burnt to the ground in a freak fire storm. They had no where to stay, and no where to move to, so they spent their last pennies on rooms at the inns, which were overflowing with people barely able to afford bread for themselves, let alone their family. Grim times, where terrible things were done for money, or to save money. Some said a strange army of monsters had begun to march through the realm, destroying cities, and blamed the plague of poverty on them, but most people believed that was some tavern tale, with no credibility. monsters, indeed! That was what they thought before that night, where the most unexpected and overlooked man would become a hero. Because, with no warning, no alarm or announcement or grandeur, an enormous beast broke open the door, and beheaded three people in one sweep of its fiery blade. People simply stared in shock, too horrified to believe it was happening. they simply stood there, waiting to be mowed down. It wasn't until the monster hit the ground, a thin gash ran down his chest, oozing brownish black blood, the consistency of mud, bubbling from the wound. only later did people realise that the man in the corner was the man standing before them, no longer forlorn and overweight, for he had shed his disguise. He was a foot taller, his hair golden red, his body muscular and toned, a blade of shimmering black metal in his hand. he was a Paradox Knight. His eyes were bright, full of fire and joy. He loved killing, hated that he did, but after being so twisted and manipulated, having had to kill so much to prove himself worthy, it was hard to hate it. He was the Light's soldier, however twisted he would become, his priority remained. Kill demons until there were no more, but that was about to change, for in just three days, that would be put second, right in front of his own life, and behind his new priority. To protect his leader, his master, his angel.
((yes, I am a Knight, and yes, Knights and angels should try their best to partner up with each other, because in the next step of this roleplay...)
They would meet in three days, at the citadel of the light, bind each other, and become a whole. A single being in two bodies. Dark, and light, unified, made stronger by leaning on each other. The Knight would be servant, assassin, and warrior for the angel. The angel would be teacher, advisor, leader for the Knight. it was a perfect exchange, and the only way the evil that had touched the land could be stopped.
