Americans find retirement's cheaper in the Philippines
Outsourcing is a fighting word. Whaddaya mean taking work away from Americans and giving it to low-paid foreigners?
But how about "out-retirement" — and maybe to the same place?
For Bruce Silverman there's no place like the Philippines. He has 500-plus employees in several businesses across the Pacific.
But the islands' broader charm, he says, is how cheaply you can live there when no longer bringing in paychecks.
"The elderly lose their dignity in America," says Silverman, 57, by wonderfully clear phone. It was 4:30 p.m. in Pittsburgh, 4:30 a.m. in his tropical backyard. (He works on U.S. time.)
"It's not fair to have to spend down what you've worked a lifetime to earn to afford assisted living," he said.
In the Philippines, he says, caregivers, cooks and drivers are so able, willing, and low-cost, they preserve capital better than Wall Street. A transplanted American single might manage on "$800 a month."
"The Philippines' largest export," he quips, "is people." Of 91 million national head-count, possibly 10 million "OFW's" — overseas Filipino workers — do food service, field labor and nannying around the globe. And Silverman knows why.
"Work ethic," he says. It's taught in schools. Kids learn to respect authority, follow orders, use English and appreciate jobs that might start at $300 a month. They work "much harder than Americans," according to Silverman. Plus, the wage gap is wider than realized. A U.S. job paying $10 an hour easily becomes $20 total labor costs, with Social Security, insurance, unemployment tax and other factors.
In one of his own businesses, designing websites, he says, a project costing $1,500 stateside "we can do for $200 or $300."
No cheers for that on U.S. unemployment lines, of course.
But Silverman argues that American manufacturing "still leads the world" in output if not in employment, thanks to technological edge, Quietly, too, outsourced work in programming, for example, has been a survival necessity for small U.S. businesses. "I hate the cliche but it's a global economy," he says, so taken for granted by shoppers that "if Wal-Mart quit importing from China, there'd be riots in the streets."
Baltimore-born, Silverman has lived and worked in the Philippines since 1982. He and wife Rose, a native Filipina, have four daughters and live in Baguio, an upscale mountain city six hours from bustling Manila with its 5 million people and "First World business district." Silverman's has written "The Freedom Handbook, for Living and Retiring in the Philippines."
Some of its nuggets:
American expatriates, familiarly "expats," connect with home by internet and lower-fare, off-season jets. Their first $92,600 of yearly earnings are U.S. income tax-exempt.
Some retirees start businesses. A married couple who came to teach English created a cram course for Filipino nurses prepping to take U.S. licensing exams.
GI Joes and Janes wouldn't recognize the huge onetime Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Force Base. They're now industrial zones. We donated them to the host nation, which didn't pick up the nasty colonial bug of hating Americans.

In the realm of what is now a bi-annual certainty -- these limited edition, get-them-while-you-can, special release bottles -- Ardbeg has almost always reigned supreme. They've brought more intensity (the Supernova), they've brought extra spice (the Alligator), and they've even played around with cask finishing (the Galileo). The thing about Ardbeg, however, is that their whisky is already perfect how it is, so why mess with perfection? Why tweak it or finagle with it? Why not just celebrate it? That's what this year's Auriverdes is all about -- a celebration of the 2014 World Cup with a new, softer, more supple version of its peaty goodness. Inspired by the Brazilian flag (Auri - gold, Verde - green), there's nothing weird or new going on with this whisky, just impeccable execution. It's also a whisky of green peat and golden oak with big, bold smoke and a soft mocha finish. The 49.9% proof intensifies the spice, but the vanilla wins in the end. More important than any of the marketing, however, is the quality. This is the best new Ardbeg in years -- period. No tricks, no gimmicks. Just good. That's reason enough to celebrate.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Not all area high schools were connected with team physicians when Richard Sellers moved his practice back home 20 years ago.
He wanted to get involved in local sports medicine. Pensacola High was near his first office on Jordan and Palafox streets. Sellers knew the school could use his help.
"At that time, PHS had not had medical coverage for several years," said Scott Morrison, an athletic trainer who has known Sellers since 1987 when the two were in Los Angeles working with pro sports teams. "They were happy to have us, and we were happy to have them." ...

The first of anything is memorable - a first job, a first promotion, a first kiss. Well, this is my first monthly column from the desk of the president and publisher of The Daily Advertiser and Daily World.
I am thinking this is significant in my world - my first opportunity to reach out to our readers. I hope you will enjoy these messages and find something of value in them for yourself and your family.
My thought is that this first contribution will be about the communities in which we live.
Since I moved to Lafayette six months ago, people often ask, "What was your first impression?" and "Don't you love Lafayette?"
My first impression coincides with the answer to the second question: Yes, I love Lafayette, and one of the primary reasons is the community. Lafayette has been very welcoming to my husband and me, and this allows us to be active community members.
We want to be part of the community for many reasons: to learn something new, to meet new people, to lend a hand and to find ways to grow the economy - but mainly, to help others.
It is my hope that we can have an effect on those around us, become connected and have a positive impact on the community.
One way we hope to do those things is through Make A Difference Day, which falls on the fourth Saturday of every October; this year, it is Oct. 27.
Make A Difference Day was launched in our parent company, Gannett's USA Weekend Magazine 20 years ago.
A simple idea: Put your own cares on hold for one day to care for someone else, creating a national day of volunteering. Now, millions respond each year to the request to set aside one specific day to make the world a better place.
We are in the midst of a two-week book drive and literacy campaign. On Saturday, the employees of Gannett's locally owned sites, The Daily Advertiser and the Daily World, will gather the books from the 16 drop-off areas, and take them to three Boys and Girls Clubs of Acadiana locations in Lafayette and Opelousas. We will then create a book nook, read stories to the children and talk about our favorite children's book - all to promote literacy at the clubs.
This effort is a first for our Boys and Girls Club partnership, a first for our employees and is in keeping with the theme of my first column, which can be summed up in this proverb:
It is better to give than to receive.
Karen J. Lincoln is the publisher and president of The Daily Advertiser and the Daily World.

Written by Monique Dailey who has been an SCA member since she was 10 years old. She's been a member of the local high school Community and Conservation Leadership Corps Crew at parks in DC, a national high school crew member at Salmon-Challis National Forest in east-central Idaho, and an SCA intern and high school crew leader in the local DC area.
My experience with the outdoors, and with the Student Conservation Association, started at age 10 because of a dog - a dog and a woman who enjoyed going to the park every day. A park that none of us neighborhood kids even knew existed because where I grew up going to a park was never considered an option. Even walking your dog was an anomaly given how prevalent drug use and gang violence was in my neighborhood in Washington, D.C. So when we saw this woman walking every day smiling and waving, we were curious as to where she was going. One day a group of us kids asked her and she invited us to walk with her.
Monique Dailey and the First Lady plant trees at a local DC Earth Day event.
The decision to go with her to the park undoubtedly changed the course of my life. I instantly fell in love with the beauty of the park. It was so unlike anything I experienced in the concrete jungle - the colors (how can anything be so green?), the sounds (a bird tweeting, the wind rustling through the leaves, and, sporadically, the silence), and the feeling of breathing the freshest air I've ever breathed. All of this was found a mere two miles away from my neighborhood.
After that day I knew I wanted to preserve areas like this for the rest of my life. With assistance from SCA, that woman started a community group to maintain the new-found passion that we kids discovered about becoming more connected with the environment. I have remained involved with SCA ever since. I've done community crews, national high school crews, internships, and even led crews and managed programs.
Monique engages local DC kids in an SCA community crew program at a local community park.
I'm sharing this story because my connection with the natural environment is an unfortunate anomaly where I grew up. There was never a real push to visit our Parks nor was there real access. Combined with the harsh realities of growing up in an impoverished neighborhood, there was just no real priority to foster environmental stewardship in youth.
These are the same obstacles the National Park Service and environmental organizations face today in getting urban youth actively involved in conservation, and the obstacles discussed at America's Summit on National Parks on January 24-26 in Washington, D.C. (http://www.2016parksummit.org/)
The purpose of the Summit was to discuss the future of America's national parks, including connecting youth and urban communities to parks and the environment since this is a major focus of the National Park Service and environmental organizations such as SCA in the coming years. I was invited to attend America's Summit on National Parks to represent my generation as one of the future leaders in environmental conservation. No pressure, right?
While there, I was able to meet leaders, philanthropists, politicians, and educators from across the country in the field of conservation. We talked candidly about my nearly 16 years of experience with SCA and how the experience shaped me into the person I am today. We also discussed ways to get more young people actively involved in environmental conservation.
Monique presented Liz Putnam with The Corps' Networks Legacy Acheivement Award on Feb. 12, 2012.
My advice to the National Parks Service and to other environmental organizations wanting to involve young people from all backgrounds is this: You need to get young people out there and you need to go into their communities to do it. What I've learned is that the barriers aren't insurmountable. However, it is important to actively pursue youth to bridge those missing connections. Reaching out directly to young people in their communities allows you to start to plant the seeds of environmental stewardship. It's hard for any young person to connect with an environment they don't understand. But, I believe active participation is key. Go to where the kids are and bring that enthusiasm to them!
When I hear the phrase "Taking action for a new century", I think of my generation - 18 - 29 year olds referred to as the Millennial Generation or Generation Y. We are the most educated in history as well as the most confident, upbeat and progressive. We are more ethnically and racially diverse than any previous generation in American history. Thus, equally important is keeping youth involved even after they participate in service projects in high school and internships in college. The ultimate goal is to foster that connection through adulthood.
There are scores of people in my generation who are ready and willing to play a role in environmental conservation. There are Returned Peace Corps Volunteers like myself who are eager to start a career in service. There are scores of others who would be more than interested to teach youth about the environment and participate in service projects and events in their communities. It's a matter of staying engaged and going to where the young people are whether through social media or physically working in their communities. Taking action is critical.
As we make efforts to conserve and interact with the environment in a sustainable manner, it's important to ensure that we involve everyone and not waste the opportunity to connect and learn from the young people who will soon be the shepherds of our natural resources. We have the energy and enthusiasm and we're looking for a way to focus it to make a difference in our planet…we're just hoping someone will show us the way.

For the fifth time in franchise history -- in 14 total seasons -- the Arizona Diamondbacks are National League West champions. They entered Friday night with a magic number of one and were facing the Giants. Considering there were six games left in the season and that the D-Backs had a six-game lead, winning the West was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Still, getting the victory right away had to be nice. They can now start planning for the NLDS.
Friday night's game packed some serious drama. The D-Backs trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. They tied it in the seventh and then in the eighth, a two-out, two-run triple by rookie Paul Goldschmidt gave them the lead for good.
The Diamondbacks previously won the NL West in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2007.
This one has to be especially sweet, though. Arizona had finished in last place the past two seasons and was coming off a 97-loss season. Heading into 2011, the national consensus was pretty much that the Diamondbacks would finish last again, but behind a tough manager (Kirk Gibson), a Cy Young candidate (Ian Kennedy) and an MVP candidate (Justin Upton), they became one of the best stories in baseball by going worst-to-first.
Arizona only trails the Brewers by one game for the second-best record in the NL. Assuming the Braves hold on in the wild card, and considering what happened Friday night it's likely, the No. 2 seed will avoid playing the Phillies in the first round and instead get the Braves. That feels important enough to keep playing for wins, though setting up the playoff rotation will take precedent over everything come next Monday through Wednesday.
For now, though, it's time for Arizona to celebrate ... for the fifth time in 14 years.

Philadelphia fans have no real hope this year. Which is why it's time for us all to embrace the un-real.
Who's Gollum? The guy who scares me in Week 1: Brent Celek. He's been one of the Eagles' more consistent weapons for a few years now, racking up nearly 700 yards last year. The problem with Celek: Chip Kelly never throws to his tight ends. According to philly.com, in Kelly's four seasons as a head coach at Oregon, tight ends caught just 16.3 percent of completed passes, compared to Bill O'Brien's Nittany Lions, who completed 30.1 percent of their passes to tight ends. Add in the fact that the Eagles brought in veteran James Casey and drafted Stanford's Zach Ertz, and I'm starting a tight end from a different team. Celek is talented, but I'd wait and see how he fits into this new offense.
Who's Boromir? The guy I just can't figure out in Week 1: DeSean Jackson. Normally, I'm not that high on Jackson. In the past he's been drafted way too high for a guy who's never topped 1,200 yards receiving and has just four 100 yard games in his last two seasons. On the other hand, the guy can score from anywhere on the field, and has value as a punt returner and a runner. A true boom-or-bust player, Jackson will go from a two-week 162-yard output to a two-week 14 yard sputtering. You never know what you'll get with him. But against Washington's shaky secondary, he's worth a roll of the dice. It's early in the season. I think we can afford some risk.
"I agree with most of this and I think I can use these tips for my fantasy team. You gotta mention Randall Cunningham. He is one bright spot in a dozen years of misery. Hey, for fantasy, at least the Birds are good for somethin this year. Tired of being disappointed but now I know that at least in my own world, a team from Philly can win some games."
"I wish fantasy was around when Rodney Peete was playing. He was short but he could really air it out and was a deceptive scrambler!!"
"Fantasy this, Mr. Doom-and-Gloom. Da Boids done skinned Da Skins on Washington's own hallowed ground. What hill is it that you and 10,000 other Phill-idiots think Mike Vick is over again??? Say what????????"
"Get out, booger! The Iggles won't win unless they make Chip get the Kelly out of here and bring back Kotite! Ha, remember that guy? Oh, come on, we're doomed. I have one Bird on my fantasy team: Wolff, but only because I met him once at Sadlacks in Raleigh."

- Filed Under
LONDON (AP) - Ever since she was a kid, practicing until midnight with her father, Marion Bartoli went about playing tennis her own way.
The two-handed strokes for backhands, forehands, even volleys. The hopping in place and practice swings between points, which help her focus. The unusual setup for serves - no ball-bouncing, arms crossed, right wrist resting on her left thumb before the toss.
Whatever works, right? This unique Wimbledon, appropriately enough, produced a unique champion in the ambidextrous Bartoli, the 15th-seeded Frenchwoman who won her first Grand Slam title by ...

Jon Bon Jovi holds a sign from his home in Middletown last month to let fans know that, despite rumors on the Web, he's not dead.
- Filed Under
With that bogus report of his premature demise, Jersey's own Jon Bon Jovi recently joined fellow rocker Paul McCartney in the pantheon of celebrities who have been "killed off" by the rumor mill.
A generation remembers hearing that "Paul is dead" in 1969, a rumor that reached peak circulation in a matter of weeks. The December rumor of Bon Jovi's passing was widespread in a matter of hours because of the information superhighway.
Even Jeffrey Goho, the Pennsylvania man who started the Bon Jovi rumor said he didn't anticipate that false bulletin would spread so far so fast. ...

Ghost hunt set at Harrison golf course
Many golfers have horror stories about Brackenridge Heights Golf Course's fourth hole.
The long par-3 features a tiered green, with water to the right and woods on the left.
But some people say the prospect of making triple bogey isn't the scariest thing about the hole.
Course lore says the ghost of a young boy who drowned in the pond haunts the Harrison golf course.
"We've owned (the course) for two years, and I've probably seen that kid eight times," course owner Ted Tomson said. "One day in the winter, I was talking to people in the bar, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a kid ice skating on the putting green.
"He had a scarf on, which is what everyone says he's wearing when they see him. But every time I looked over, he was gone," Tomson said. "People see him peeking out from behind trees. They see him all around."
The suspected phantom is thought to be a child who died when the ice on the pond cracked and he fell through while playing with his sister and a friend.
The other children survived.
The frequent alleged sightings of the child, and those of a former groundskeeper, who is said to haunt the clubhouse caused Tomson to call the Freeport-based Pittsburgh Paranormal Research Team.
"Everyone who worked there had experiences before," said Tyler Huth, founder of the A-K Valley's version of Ghostbusters. "I've actually messaged people who used to work there to get their own personal experience."
Huth, 25, will be joined by friends and team members Shaun Visnesky and Corey Mickle this weekend as they conduct a paranormal investigation of the course. The group will film the excursion for their self-produced web show "Journey 'Til Dawn."
Huth said the group does about eight investigations a year.
"We have all high-tech equipment," Huth said. "We split up and individually investigate the area.
"We investigate in the same style (the TV show) 'Ghost Hunters' does."
Huth said he and his team will try to determine whether there are actually non-human beings residing on the course, and if there are, who they were in their previous life.
"We pride ourselves on the research," he said. "We look for history of death at the venue and potential names of people who could be there, spirit-wise."
Huth said the group does their investigations for free. The group will present their findings at a dinner at the course's restaurant, Tables on the Green, on Nov. 2.
"We've been doing this for about three years as a group," Huth said. "For us, it really pays just to meet people and see these places with historical value."

Lonely winter nights
For lonely folk who live alone,
Huddled against a radiator
Longing for a family to call their own.
Lonely folk in winter
Surviving the cold of Melbourne Town,
Forced to stay in bed all day
To keep killer power bills down.
Lonely souls without a home
Forced to live and sleep outside,
As winter chills through to their souls
Until the bitter day they die.
Lonely poor with no-one
Willing to offer them a hand,
Living below the poverty line
In this no-longer lucky land.
The lonely nights of winter
Chill right through to the bone,
Especially for the elderly and unemployed
For poor folks living alone.
Lonely Antarctic winter nights
That freezes your very breath,
Street folk fight and lose against
A cold that brings them death.
Winter wind howling
Like a monster in the cold,
Bringing death and illness to
The unemployed and old.
Lonely, lonely, winter nights
Signalling the end of life,
To so many living out of doors
Who can no longer survive.

This article was written by Alex Steffen in November of 2003. We're republishing it here as part of our month-long editorial retrospective.
The Renaissance Italians had a term, "terriblisma," by which they meant the strange, gratified awe one feels when beholding dreadful disasters and acts of God from afar. The term may be six hundred years old, but the sentiment could not be more contemporary. In fact, terriblisma is a quite native 21st Century aesthetic.
We're somewhat ashamed of it, but the fact is, we're fascinated as well as alarmed by what's happening to our planet and its climate. We find ourselves riveted by strange occurances and ominous portents - like giant squid growing to montrous sizes in the warming greenhouse waters of our oceans, or the gigantic and ancient Larsen B Ice Shelf collapsing in Antarctica. Our televisions and computers bring us 24-hour-a-day weather porn of the unprecendented floods, massive fires, sudden ice storms, freak winds, and ever-stronger hurricanes and typhoons which have swept the planet over the last decade. Now Hollywood is getting in on the act.
The silver screen's supreme homage to terriblisma, the movie The Day After Tomorrow, will hit theaters worldwide next Memorial Day with a vision of a sudden climatic snap triggering a new Ice Age. Terrible. Awful. Dreadful. Pass the popcorn.
This piece is a part of our month long retrospective leading up to our anniversary on Oct. 1. For the next four weeks, we'll celebrate five years of solutions-based, forward-thinking and innovative journalism by publishing the best of the Worldchanging archives.

On Friday, Detroit team president Joe Dumars said Iverson, the former 76ers star, would be shut down for the rest of the season because of a sore back, though in the three games Iverson played last week, Iverson was not shy about his displeasure in coming off the bench and not starting.
Before today's game, Detroit first-year coach Michael Curry talked about Iverson, and the probability that next season Iverson will be with ...

I wanted to take this moment to commend Judge Brad Charles for words he spoke as relayed by a story in the Lebanon Daily News.
Charles was very clear that our society today is one of entitlements. Everyone feels he is owed something. Those who fit that description are usually the ones we find committing violent crimes or hiding in the shadows withholding information that could solve crimes.
He was very blunt in his words as he addressed a man found guilty of shooting another man, leaving the victim paralyzed. Charles pointed out that those who witnessed the crime had either lied or withheld information they had regarding the incident.
I witnessed this "don't snitch" mentality more recently, when gunshots rang out in my neighborhood. I spoke to those who said they were the targets, and I was asked to call the police, but not to direct the officers to the victims.
I gave the police all the information provided and directed them to others who knew the full name of the shooter; none was willing to relay the information. One of the men waited until police had left to thank me, cynically, because he has warrants, and now police know where he is. I eventually grew angry with these people and told them all exactly how I felt about the situation.
I pretty much echoed exactly what Charles said.
Lebanon doesn't have a crime problem; it has a quality people problem. We have attracted the lowest of the low to this city. Police cannot do anything more than respond to the crime if people are not going to speak out.
Mayor Sherri Capello must speak out. She makes her presence known at every positive event in our city, but she hides when things are bad She is the leader of a city, yet her leadership is seen only when someone opens a business or if a grant is needed to build more senior apartments.
This city has been run by the same names for quite a long time: Capello, Arnold, Dissinger, Parker.These are just a few of the names who have been in control of our city in some way for more than 30 years.

We sailed with P&O for 14 nights last year and are looking forward to our 17 night cruise with them next month. Unlike most other cruiselines we have sailed with eg RCI, Celebrity and NCL whose loyalty scheme starts after the first cruise , P&O's loyalty scheme starts after 15 nights. Great I thought this is the first night of our cruise then we will benefit from their loyaly scheme - No it wont start until after we return (night 31) Surely with the advent of the computer it would be easy to activate our loyalty to the brand whilst we are on board after all you can update the onboard spent easily enough!!!!!
Come on P&O show some loyalty to your customer's.

Loyalty - What Loyalty!!!
Jill, P&O's so called 'Loyalty' schemes have caused more upset and dissent than any other cruise line, not just in recent times, but going back more years than I care to remember.
'Loyalty'..........It's a wonder they know how to spell it..........Wilba
15th June 2013, 07:29 AM #3
Hi Jill
Compared to Celebrities Loyalty scheme P&Os is a bad joke ,5 cruises can get you into Elite with a wealth of benefits 2 hours free drinks for starters .P&O 5 cruises a small discount on your on board spend and a chance to overpay with there early booking for members.
I am also sure there may be more loyalty clubs worth joining other than P&Os....Taffy
P&O know exactly what they are doing, they want you to take 2 cruises before ANY loyalty is rewarded. I wouldn't worry about it, as Taffy says P&O's loyalty scheme is a joke. We've done over 60 nights in the last 5 years on 12 cruises with them and only received a few crappy badges made of tinfoil metal
So really it is 6 cruises before your allocated elite status.

I like loyalty schemes that combine number of nights on board with on board spending.
Also depending upon cabin and length of cruise, you can reach Elite on Celebrity after 4 cruises
Illegitimi non carborundum
15th June 2013, 12:41 PM #7
If you booked 4 x 14 nights cruises in a Concierge cabin or above your on 12 points you only need 10 to access Elite .
How many nights would you need to get to the top with P&O .....Taffy

Just to clear things up with Celebrity you get 1 point each time you cruise, 1point if you cruise for 12 days or more and 1 point for booking a Concierge cabin or above. You need 10 points to get into the top tier Elite! The maximum points you can get is 3per cruise....Taffy

The good thing about travelling with P&O is Princess cruises recognise every one your cruise nights towards their loyalty scheme(Captains Circle).Of course you need to have done a cruise with them.I only did one years ago and discovered recently that we both hold elite status.So when I have completed my current cruises already booked, I shall not be booking ahead with P&O again. So no early morning starts for my travel agent when the booking lines open.! Already did a seven day on Ryndam with HAL recently but found the food was not up to scratch and certainly not as good as P&O.So looking forward to trying Princess for my free mini bar!In the future it is getaway fares for us.

McDonald is an old-school, back to the basket centera rare commodity in Europe these days. He has a big body, excellent hands, terrific touch, and plenty of moves in the post, where he gets most of his production. He can pass the ball out of double teams fairly well, and can also step out and hit a 17-foot jumper. He seems to be a solid rebounder as well, going out of his area on a few occasions. A below average athlete by NBA standards (his quickness and leaping ability are nothing to write home about), and also somewhat undersized for the center position, McDonald is probably right at home where he is in the Euroleague at the moment. He doesnt seem to be in the greatest shape either, and that hurts his ability on the defensive end as well. He struggled getting out to defend the perimeter, and his heavy feet dont do him any favors trying to rotate over in the post or stay in front of quicker big men playing man to man D. With that said, theres a lot to be said for having a big man on the floor who you can throw the ball to inside and ask to create offense, which is exactly what McDonald can do. Thats why hell always draw a nice paycheck in Europe, and will likely continue to do so at the very highest levels. Could he play in the NBA for the league minimum? Probably, since he isnt any worse than a Marc Jackson or someone similar who did so for years. [Read Full Article] The Top Overseas Free Agents on the 2006 Market (Part Two)July 11, 2006McDonald is another example of the huge crop of American players that couldnt make it to the NBA initially. Players like McDonald come to Europe searching for a paycheck and the opportunity to gain experience, maturity and, hopefully eventually get another shot at the top basketball league. Coming out of the University of South Florida, where he showed terrific progress during his four-year stint, McDonald was named to the Third Team All-Conference USA as a senior, after averaging 15.9 points and 8.1 rebounds. Following his senior year he dominated the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, averaging 19.3 points (2nd in tourney) and 11.7 rebounds (3rd in tourney) while shooting 56.8% from the field. His door to Europe was, like for many others, the French League, a friendly place for American rookies in Europe that, at the same time, enjoys nice level and exposure. After one year in Chalon, he moved to the strongest domestic competition in Europe, the ACB League. He spent one season in Gran Canaria, a well-known team for its excellent scouting (the last example, Joel Freeland), and played last season in Estudiantes, one of the historic powerhouses in Spain, although not as much this campaign. He averaged 17.4 points and 5.6 rebounds there. Last summer he joined the Boston Celtics summer league squad, but left midway through after barely seeing the floor and being offered a very nice amount of money from Estudiantes to sign immediately. Strengths: A very nice offensive player, Will McDonald certainly has resources to score around the basket. Featuring nice size (he measured 6-9 ½ without shoes at the Chicago pre-draft camp) and terrific length (7-3 ½), he has the size and frame to play the center position in the NBA. Hes a decently athletic and very strong player who knows how to use his body in the paint. Besides, he moves really well without the ball, finding spaces and passing lines. The first sample, the pick and roll play. McDonald perfectly rolls after setting the pick, looking for the proximities of the rim. He can explode going up for the dunk, look for a layup with both hands, or settle for a jumper in the mid range area. Indeed, hes a fairly reliable static shooter out to 15 feet. This season, McDonald enjoyed the partnership of Sergio Rodríguez, a terrific player in the pick and roll, and also benefited from an offensive system that actively looked for these situations. The result was fantastic production in terms of points for McDonald, to the tune of over 17 per game, good for 4th in the Spanish ACB league ahead of Luis Scola. Still, he can also look for his points in the low post. He doesnt enjoy fancy moves, but he uses his body to gain position and delivers effective reverse and spin moves, using the glass if he has the chance. An excellent offensive rebounder, McDonald is really active attacking the offensive glass, using his strength and showing aggressiveness, nice mobility and a nose to come up with the ball. Weaknesses: McDonald is first and foremost not terribly athletic. He has almost pure paint skills, which he might suffer to translate against bigger competition, although his strength makes up for it up to a certain degree. He could certainly improve his shooting and expand his post game with better footwork and more moves. He looks like a below average passer, although its mostly a matter of not trying. McDonald is first a scorer; whenever he receives the ball he looks for the basket. Its probably not a matter of not understanding the game, but of instincts playing it. Not a great defender, McDonald lacks some intimidation and his lateral quickness is average for a big man. He suffers against bigger players, but also when hes taken to the perimeter. Still his body should allow him to get the job done near the basket on a regular basis. Despite his nice effort on the offensive end, hes just an average defensive rebounder. He should work harder boxing out his rivals. Off the court issues prevented McDonald from ever really getting a shot at the NBA initially. He was charged with a misdemeanor his senior year of college on domestic battery charges. Why sign him? For any team needing a complimentary big guy to get some scoring inside off the bench, McDonald might be a nice option. Hes probably ready to step onto a NBA court given his strength, useful skill set, and experience in high international competition. Hes still relatively young at 26, and might become a solid player for years to come. The problem is that another excellent season in Spain like he just had will push him dangerously close to becoming a 7-figure player in Europe, which will be incredibly hard to leave on the table for a minimum contract in the NBA. If a team likes him, they will have to pay him and its tough to see him garnering anywhere near the type of money he will command in Europe. McDonald has reportedly resigned with Estudiantes for another season. [Read Full Article] © 2015 DraftExpress LLC All rights reserved.

Minister Fast to Lead Third Trade Mission to Africa
Announces coming into force of Canada-Benin FIPA
May 27, 2014 - Ottawa, Ontario - Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada
The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, today participated in Africa Day celebrations in Ottawa and invited Canadian business representatives, especially from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand, to join a trade mission to South Africa and Tanzania from June 22 to 27, 2014.
Minister Fast also announced the entry into force of a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with Benin this month. By ensuring greater protection against discriminatory and arbitrary practices and by enhancing the predictability of a market's policy framework, a FIPA provides businesses with greater confidence in investing and facilitates investment flows, contributing to job creation and economic growth in both countries.
The trade mission will focus on the extractive sector and renewable energy and power, priority sectors identified under the Global Markets Action Plan. Sector-focused trade missions are part of the Government of Canada's pro-trade plan to support Canadian businesses, especially SMEs, explore opportunities and penetrate new markets for their products and services.
The Canada-Benin agreement is Canada's third FIPA brought into force in Africa, after Egypt and Tanzania, and brings the total to 27 FIPAs in force around the world.
Quick Facts
- This will be Minister Fast's third trade mission to Africa, following one to Libya in 2012 and another to Nigeria and Ghana in 2013.
- The International Monetary Fund expects the sub-Saharan African economy to grow by 5.4 percent in 2014 and by 5.5 percent in 2015.
- Canada concluded, signed or brought into force FIPAs with 10 countries in 2013—a record for a single year. Seven of these were with African countries: Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Nigeria, Zambia, Benin and Tanzania.
- FIPA negotiations are ongoing with Burkina Faso, Tunisia and Ghana and were recently launched with Kenya.
"African countries offer tremendous opportunities and are markets with much potential for Canadian workers and businesses. Today's FIPA with Benin and the sector-focused trade mission to Tanzania and South Africa, along with the help from our trade commissioners and close cooperation with Export Development Canada and the Canadian Commercial Corporation, are the many ways we are supporting Canadian companies, especially our SMEs, as they explore new opportunities to export, grow and create jobs."

MANCHESTER – Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire (AFP-NH), following today's House vote to increase the state gas tax 67% by passing HB 617, made clear that the group will take the fight to stop the tax hike to the Senate. The increase, at roughly $95 million when fully implemented, represents the largest tax increase in state history.
"Sadly for the working families and businesses of New Hampshire the House voted today to make it more difficult for them to make ends meet and fill up their tanks by putting their own need for higher taxes ahead of the needs of our residents to pay for basic needs," said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director. "Approving the largest tax increase in state history shows a short-sided and desperate attempt on the part of the House to grow government regardless of the cost to our citizens."
The bill now moves to the Senate where Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Morse has indicated his opposition to the increase, projecting the bill will be "dead upon arrival."
"Senator Morse and other members of the Senate are now all that stands between New Hampshire residents and the largest tax increase in state history, adding $2.50 to the cost of filling your gas tank and a huge hit to those who buy diesel for their trucks and equipment," added Moore. "We look forward to working with them to stop this burden from being placed upon our families and business owners."

Please vote Nov. 5
Last year's election was very important in how our national and state governments are managed. This year's general election is very important for a similar reason — we're electing representatives to manage our local governments and school districts.
Go to the polls on Nov. 5. Don't say "I don't care" or "Let someone else worry about that." Vote and make your voice count.And after your representatives are elected, remember to respectfully use your voice again and let them know how they are doing.
If you do not speak, they will not hear you.

The coolest mountain you never actually saw
It can go down as Antarctica's prettiest mountain that doesn't actually exist.
Our friend Jeff Fogg, who is from Issaquah but working a 6-month tour as a heavy equipment operator down at McMurdo Station on Antarctica, sent another great photo from his arctic environment.
This is of a mirage-like phenomenon called "Fata Morgana." It has to do with light rays being reflected as the light travels through different densities of air masses, most likely related to temperature differences.
Here is a more complete explanation.

Nothing like being nude and noshing on a midnight snack while watching dozens of fans break into your home. Well, that's exactly what happened to Lady Gaga on Thanksgiving. Mother Monster herself revealed that while she was asleep, 35 little monsters busted through her garage at the house she was staying at in Peru.
"#MONSTERFACT when gaga is asleep try to break into the garage, sing loud as possible, + ring the doorbell repeatedly #happeningnow #badkids," Gaga tweeted on Nov. 23.
"Thanksgiving story: woke up for leftovers in kitchen (naked)- stumbled on security camera revealing 35 monsters in my garage #why #iloveu," she continued. "I should be mad i guess except i tried to figure out how to slide stuffing under the door, but theres no cat-flap."
According to Sky News, the 26-year-old singer did not contact the police about the disturbance.
"To any little monsters trying to get in my house at the moment IF YOU SEE A LARGE ITALIAN MAN yelling about sleep IT IS NOT JOE GERMANOTTA," she ended with.
Gaga sure does love a show…
