Grudge Match (2013)
Grudge Match SynopsisWarner Bros. Pictures Grudge Match stars award-winning movie legends Oscar® winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull, Silver Linings Playbook) and Oscar® nominee Sylvester Stallone (the Rocky films, The Expendables) as old boxing rivals who come out of retirement for one final match. Peter Segal (Get Smart) directs the comedy.
In Grudge Match, De Niro and Stallone play Billy "The Kid McDonnen and Henry Razor Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight. Each had scored a victory against the other during their heyday, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, Razor suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively delivering a knock-out punch to both their careers. Thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., seeing big dollar signs, makes them an offer they cant refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all.
But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again.

ATLANTA -- On Sunday, February 12, Southwest Airlines finally lands in Atlanta.
Though the major discount airline has been eyeing the Atlanta market for many years, it took the $1.5 billion purchase of AirTran for Southwest to land a foothold at the world's busiest airport.
What does this mean for passengers flying into and out of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport?
The biggest plus for Atlanta passengers is Southwest's policy of no extra fees -- which means flyers can change or cancel their ticket for free. In comparison, Delta can charge up to $150 for changing or canceling a ticket.
On Southwest, the first two checked bags are also free. On Delta, travelers pay $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second.
Making telephone reservations on Southwest are also free, while on Delta, passengers get to pay up to another $25.
When travelers get to the airport, there's another plus for Southwest passengers -- Southwest does not assign seats, and boards by pre-assigned groups. To get into one of the first groups to board, flyers can pay an extra $10.
Southwest's frequent flyer points never expire, and the carrier says there are no blackout dates. In comparison, Delta's points don't expire either, but they do have blackout dates around selected holiday periods.
Southwest has been advertising a fare sale as part of their kickoff, with one way fares for travel to Baltimore, Chicago Midway, Houston and Austin running $59 to $69 one-way for travelers who buy before Monday, February 6, and fly between February 12 and May 23.

GLEN DALE - John Marshall girls' basketball coach Mark McCormick always talks about the importance of his three seniors - Kylie Howard, Kristin Lewicki and Morgan Watson - as being keys to making his team go.
Saturday afternoon with Martins Ferry paying a visit, Lewicki was forced to watch from the sidelines with a bruised knee while Howard, who still led the Monarchs in scoring, spent most of the contest in foul trouble. That left Watson, who did not disappoint her coach or team in picking up the slack.
Howard scored a team-high 19 points while Watson added 14, all of which seemed to come in big situations, and John Marshall took advantage of a rough third quarter by the Purple Riders to take control and hold on for a big 57-53 victory on Coach "B" Court at John Marshall High School.
The victory moves the Monarchs to 10-2, heading into a big week against Parkersburg South and Wheeling Park, which McCormick believes Lewicki will be back in the lineup for. Meanwhile, Lindsay Coyne's Ferry squad falls to 9-4 on the season.
"Morgan Watson just did a tremendous job for us (Saturday)," McCormick said with a smile. "We were missing Kristen, Kylie had some foul trouble and everyone has to remember that our two big freshmen are still only 14-years-old. Morgan stepped up big-time on defense and got us some big baskets on the other end.
"She just does so many things that you don't see pop up on the stat sheet, and she is really gaining confidence as we start coming up on the meat of our schedule."
The teams played even for much of the first half, tied at 13-13 after one with the Riders holding a slim 30-29 edge at halftime.
Standout Jessica Kinney tallied 12 of her game-high 26 points in the second quarter, while Watson helped the hosts stay close with a pair of treys and eight points of her own.
But the third period proved to be the difference as John Marshall outscored Martins Ferry by a 10-4 margin as the Purple Riders were a dreadful 0 of 14 from the field in the quarter. The Monarchs scored the initial eight points of the quarter while the visitors hit four charity tosses and McCormick's girls had a 39-34 lead after three.
With Kinney scoring nine more in the fourth and Tyrah King adding 10 of her 14, Ferry cut the deficit to three on three occasions and eventually whittled the deficit down to one at 52-51 on a King hoop with 1:07 to play. But a Sissy George basket at 56 seconds and a free throw with 23 showing pushed the score to 55-51.
Freshmen Tori Derrow and Bailey Filben each hit one of two charity tosses down the stretch while King banked in a shot with three seconds to go for the final score.
"Martins Ferry is a very good team and we got into some foul trouble," McCormick said. "We also missed some easy shots inside early on, but the girls pulled it together and we got things done."
As For Coyne, it all came down to the basics.
"We had some good looks, but it all comes down to making shots, it's that simple," Coyne said. "But we played hard and we competed. The heart, hustle and intensity were there, but sometimes you just don't get the "W". I am still very proud of these girls and I know we can win a lot more.
"The only negative I can come up with is struggling at the free throw line, and every girl on this team needs to look in the mirror, get better and practice on their own. I told them it is easy math, we missed nine free throws and lost by four points."
Derrow added 11 points and nine rebounds for the winners while Emily Winters pulled down 10 missed shots.
Statistically everything was very similar with Ferry hitting 17 of 55 from the field while John Marshall was 18 of 53. Both teams were 16 of 25 from the line.

Checking many sites every morning for news can be a bit time consuming. I wonder if there is a web application where I can see multiple pages at once and go through them and view the top news.
For instance a page that runs on high resolution and show a small version of the sites and when I hoover the iconified site you can view it in full size. I think I saw something similar doing reddit, digg and other link sites some time back.

This thread technically sums up all, if not almost all the debates in this entire forum when you think about it.
Chris Carter should have been a first ballot HOFer
Sorry for bumpind an old thread, I didn't want to create the same topic. There's alot of players who should be in the HOF. Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Ray Guy, Jim Plunkett, and many others.
Jerry Kramer still needs to get in. I get sick of seeing some of these old players get bumped because the voters don't want too many guys from one team in the hof. That's crap, it's an individual award and if their play warrants it they should get in. These old guys pass away and then a year or two later they get a posthumous entry into the HoF. Let them enjoy what they deserve when they are still alive.
I'd even like to see them do away with the limit per year, cap the wait time to like 25 years and on that last year have a final yes or no vote.
Just call me Von, that way we'll both feel less stupid about it.

May 30, 2016
The Mississippi Supreme Court Thursday asked an Oktibbeha County judge to explain why a post-conviction hearing ordered in 2004 has not been held for Willie Jerome Manning.
Manning was convicted in 1996 for the killings of Emmoline Jimmerson, 90, and Alberta Jordan, about 60, in Starkville. The women were beaten and their throats slashed during a robbery attempt in 1993.
The Supreme Court upheld his two death sentences in 2000.
In 2004, the Supreme Court said Manning could pursue post-conviction issues of whether prosecutors withheld certain evidence, whether prosecutors presented false evidence and whether Manning was denied effective assistance of counsel both at trial and on appeal.
Inmates use post-conviction petitions to argue they have found new evidence that could persuade a court to order a new trial.

Associated Press Release
MIAMI (AP) -- A naked intruder shot after allegedly throttling a Miami family's dog and trying to bite its owner is refusing to cooperate with authorities.
The homeowner heard the dog barking around 5 a.m. Wednesday and went to investigate. Police say the homeowner saw the naked man trying to choke the animal and rushed to free it. That's when police say the naked man bit the homeowner.
The homeowner told police he feared for his life and shot the intruder while other family members called 911.
The intruder was hit once but continued to put up a fight as officers arrived. He eventually was arrested and taken to a hospital, where refused to provide his name.
Police say the intruder faces multiple charges, including animal cruelty.

Crater Piccolomini is the larger (90 km.) target to the north (inverted view – Newtonian scope). The floor was 60% in shadow and the central mountain peak was casting a shadow to the inner rim, a beautiful sight. It is at Piccolomini that we begin to see Rupes Altai radiating into the terminator shadow. Overlapping craters at the north rampart of Piccolomini added to the view. To the southwest in the sketch, crater Stiborius (45 km.) was in deep shadow with only the rim illuminated. I could have used that extra 30 minutes but I must say the enjoyment of the view left me pleased.

General comments
I do not think the distinction between the two elements is confusing given their names and definitions. What IS confusing are the examples given in RDA 9.15, which do not match the definition of field of activity given in RDA 18.104.22.168: "Field of activity of the person is a field of endeavour, area of expertise, etc., in which a person is engaged or was engaged." "Anglo-Norman poet" or "Stamp collector" are not a "field of endeavour" or an "area of expertise." The field of endeavor/area of expertise of these persons are "poetry" and "stamp collecting". "Anglo-Norman poety" and "Stamp collector" are the person's occupations, not their field of activity. But the bad examples do not mean the elements are not distinct.
For example, the authority record for Rady, Martyn C. says, in 670, "Martyn Rady, senior lecturer in Central European history, School of Slavonic and Eastern Studies, University College, London".
Rady's field of activity is Central European history. Rady's profession or occupation is lecturer, and/or historian and/or teacher (since there's no controlled vocabulary there are various possibilities).
These seem to me to be quite distinct categories. I do not think they should be merged.
I've heard an objection that terms like "Central European history" can't be used as a qualifier the access point to distinguish identical names. This is true. However, not all the elements are intended to be included in the access point. Affiliation (9.13) and language (9.14), for example, are not. I'd say that field of activity would be an element that would not be used in the access point; profession or occupation could.
The examples to 9.15 are incorrect given the definition of "field of activity." I do think recording both pieces of information (field of activity AND occupation) is helpful, and so would like to see the two elements remain. More appropriate, in my opinion, than merging the two, would be correcting the examples in 9.15 and deleting 220.127.116.11 to clarify that field of activity is not used in the access point.
Bob Maxwell, 17 August 2011.
I agree completely with Bob's comments. K. Randall, 8/24/11

Additional Information
About XacBankThis loan is being administered through XacBank, a Mongolian for-profit microfinance institution. XacBank is located in every province of Mongolia, reaching some of the most rural micro business clients. With this Kiva loan, there is an opportunity for the entrepreneur to get a savings account including 9% of the interest if they pay back the loan on time. This is a special savings account that XacBank has specifically prepared for the Kiva loan borrowers to promote savings habits.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Ilike this cream for its richness and subtle yet pleasant smell.I also like it's versatility with performing different types of massage.
I like this product due to its versatility in a variety of massage applications.
This cream is made for the busy massage therapist that needs more moisture than lotion and more control than oil or gel. The deep tissue cream allows you to use a small amount, while covering a large amount of the body. You don't have to use much, but you can expect good results. It also smells good and is of good quality. I've shopped around for creams and tried many, this is my favorite, thusfar.
I thought for the money I was spending on a 5 gallon that I was buying one of the best brands with vitamins and hydration for the skin of my client. I am disappointed to have found a type of formaldahyde in this product Imidazolidinyl urea is in this and yet the review of is this product safe says yes there is no toxic ingredients??? really confused as i looked up the ingredients and found differently. Are there cremes out there at this price that are safe? I use this daily!
I love this cream because it gives me full control wether I'm doing NMT, trigger points, deep tissue or swedish with lots of gliding. My Clients ALL love it because of how rich, smooth and moisterizing it feels, unlike oils other therapists have used on them. They also love that it has no odor at all and that it washes away so easily. It's water soluble.

Blaine Young intends to run for governor.
The Frederick County Commissioners president released a statement Saturday, announcing his plans to begin raising campaign funds.
The announcement comes nearly two months after Young initially said he was exploring the idea of a run for Maryland's highest office.
"Someone has to step up to plate … someone has to have the guts to do it," Young said Saturday in a telephone interview.
Young has filed a statement of organization with the state board of elections as a first step toward seeking the Republican nomination for governor in 2014.
This means he can start raising money for his campaign. He wants to raise at least $300,000 in about 120 days.
"I am not a formal candidate, and will not be filing for some time," he wrote in his statement, "but this is very important that I begin to raise money now as my likely Democrat opponents have hundreds of thousands, in some cases millions of dollars in the bank."
Among the potential Democratic candidates for governor are Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, Comptroller Peter Franchot and Attorney General Doug Gansler.
In the last half century, Maryland has elected only two Republican governors: Robert Ehrlich in 2003 and Spiro Agnew in 1967. Of the state's 3.5 million registered voters, almost 1.97 million are Democrats and close to 940,000 are Republicans, according to an April report by the state board of elections.
Board of elections officials could not be reached for comment Saturday.
When asked about the timing of his announcement, Young said, "It is about money."
The 40-year-old businessman plans to raise funds during a number of speaking engagements.
"You have to raise money to get your message out there," he said.
Young's message, so far, has been all about taxes. He has already promised to veto tax increases.
"I pledge to you right here and now that as your Governor, I will veto any bill that comes across my desk that includes any new tax or fee increases," he wrote in his statement, which he emailed from a business address to media outlets Saturday morning.
Another item on Young's campaign agenda is watching out for small-business owners. He owns and operates Interstate Mobile Advertising Inc. and co-owns Yellow Cab of Frederick, Brunswick, Thurmont and Mount Airy, as well as Classic Limo and Sedan.
"I am in this race as the only business owner and citizen legislator who puts the taxpayer first," he wrote. "It's time for Annapolis to stop treating the hardworking people of Maryland as nothing more than their personal ATM machines."
The commissioner and former Frederick city alderman is also concerned about senior residents. Young said he wants to find ways to make the state more appealing to retirees.
"I'm tried of hearing folks saying they are moving to other states because they're friendlier toward retirees," he said Saturday.
Supporters say they are ready to get behind Young's agenda.
They include Steve Gottlieb, the county's Republican Central Committee chairman.
Young could win the nomination, even though some consider him an underdog, Gottlieb said Saturday. Young has proved himself as commissioners president, and the county now has a surplus because of Young's actions in office, he said.
"I think the people of Frederick County should be proud that one of their own is going to run for governor," Gottlieb said.
Commissioners Billy Shreve and Paul Smith agreed. Both men said Saturday that they support Young's decision to run.
"He is just getting warmed up. … This is a great step," Shreve said, adding that Young's announcement was expected.
Smith said he thought Young planned to announce his intentions in June but supports his plan to get started sooner. Smith predicted Saturday that the Republican Party will win the upcoming presidential election, which would have a great effect on Maryland politics, he said.
"One political party has dominated the political landscape in Maryland for too long. And their politics clearly aren't working," Young said. "It's time for Maryland to move into a new direction."
Young said he knows there is a long road ahead. Filing his statement of organization was just one step in the process.
"This will be the test of whether or not we continue," Young said in the release.
Money and party affiliation are not the only challenges Young faces. A run for statewide office could resurrect interest in the 1999 "Black Book" scandal, in which the then-Frederick alderman was the only public official listed in a call-girl madam's address book.
Young said Saturday that he has no plans to waste time or money.
"There is no question that I am the underdog in this race … even in the primary."
Sure, you could grill another hot dog. Or, you could try one of these 30 recipes for foods you never knew you could cook on the grill.

|Health Dept. officials meet with commissioners
|Written by April Peregoy
During the month of November, Phillips County Commissioners met with administrators of Northeast Colorado Health Dept. (NCHD) to hear about services provided to the county.
Among the administrators present were director of public health administrator John Crosthwait, director of client health services Trish McClain and director of Environmental Health Division Julie McCaleb. They explained the history of NCHD and how efficiently it has been run over the past 60 years. Noted commissioner Susan Roll Walters, NCHD serves an area of 9,200 square miles in six counties with a population over 70,000. Yet, they only have 43 workers and receive less state money than other county health departments. While there, commissioners agreed to sign an Emergency Management Agreement with NCHD. According to county administrator Randy Schafer, the agreement outlines how NCHD will provide information services to the public and counties in case of a health emergency.
It also required the county and Phillips County Sheriff's Dept. to appoint public information officers. Dana Warren has taken the position for the county and Shawna Bergstrom for the Sheriff's Dept. If a health emergency were to occur in Phillips County, Bergstrom and Warren will act as resources for the public. Along with contractor Mike Smith, commissioners also met with NCHD's consumer protection coordinator Carmen Vandenbark to discuss health requirements for the new Event Center building.Progress continues on the construction at the fairgrounds, with the board reporting that workers are done with the footings and lane block. Colors chosen for the building's exterior are charcoal grey for the roof and frost white for the sides.
Commissioners noted they are still working on receiving pledges for the project. In order to receive Enterprise Zone benefits, pledges must be turned in before Monday, Dec. 15.
A meeting with CDOT's regional road maintenance director took place in November as well. The director explained to commissioners the snow plow removal schedule and which roads are designated for 24-hour removal. Clearing of all roads will take place during regular CDOT hours of 5 a.m.-7 p.m. This includes Highways 23, 59 and 385 from Holyoke north.
Roads seeing high traffic rates of over 1,000 vehicles daily are eligible for 24-hour snow removal. In Phillips County, these roads are Highway 6 and Highway 385 from Holyoke south. Also in attendance at the meeting with CDOT were the county's school district supts. and bus managers. It was noted by commissioners the county road dept. works closely with the schools to keep them updated on road conditions and closures.
Other business
In other business, county commissioners:
—met with Golden Plains Area Extension Agent Bonnie Sherman. She is sponsoring a radon program through the State Health Dept. People who think they may have a radon problem can pick up a kit at the county Extension Office.
—announced they will be attending the annual CCI Winter Conference in Colorado Springs Dec. 1-3.
—have set a public hearing for the 2009 budget Friday, Dec. 5 at 11 a.m.
—approved a subdivision exemption to Bradford Rauch from Rudolph and Randolph Haynes.

It is best to spend the night at Nikko and get up early to beat the crowds of tourists who come on day trips from Tokyo. Nikko offers a taster of the quintessential Japan of wood block printing, dreamy haiku and stone lanterns, moss paths among the cedars, and giant cedars. Many of the treasures of this spellbinding city have been preserved, including marvellous Shinto and Buddhist shrines with World Heritage Site status. The Shin Kyo Bridge commemorates the arrival, in the 8C, of the monk who founded the city; it spans the Daiya, whose banks are littered with seated Buddhas and ex votos.

AUBURN, Wash. (May 11, 2014) – Northwest Farms' superstar 4-year-old filly Stopshoppingdebbie exploded on the last turn and power housed home for a four-length victory Sunday in the $50,000 Hastings Handicap for older fillies and mares at Emerald Downs.
Now unbeaten in six career starts, Stopshoppingdebbie ran six furlongs in a stakes-record tying 1:08.38, and paid $3.40, $2.60 and $2.10. With regular rider Rocco Bowen aboard at 122 lbs., Stopshoppingdebbie earned $27,500 and boosted her career earnings to $156,273 for owner/breeder Northwest Farms (Jerre Paxton, Yakima, Wash.)
In fourth place early, as 33-to-1 long shot Ms. Sutherland smoked through fractions of :21.70 and :44.71, Stopshoppingdebbie unleashed a withering rally on the turn, blowing past Ms. Sutherland, Quizzical and Goin to the Window, gained the lead into the stretch, and drew off through the lane for an overpowering victory.
"Well, today she showed us that she is the real deal," Bowen said. "I figured I was going to get packed a little wide, so I just tried to be patient and talk to her the whole way.
"When I asked her if she was ready to go, she responded. I said you know what, if they are going to try to run and catch me, then I'm going to run them off their feet, and no one was coming. I don't even think I got her into second gear."
A 4-year-old dark bay or brown filly by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin out of Emerald Downs champion Taste the Passion, Stopshoppingdebbie is trained by Tom Wenzel, who earned the track's Top Training Development last year after Stopshoppingdebbie swept all four stakes races for 3-year-old fillies.
With Sunday's win, Stopshoppingdebbie is tied with 3-year-old Louisiana-bred filly Ide Be Cool (6-6-0-0-$324,600) for most wins by an undefeated horse in North America.
"It's unbelievable this horse," Wenzel said. "I thought it might have been a little bit more of a horse race today, I really did. If she doesn't go (so) wide, she probably runs 1:07 and change."
Madame Pele, ridden by Gallyn Mitchell at 119 lbs., rallied from sixth place to finish second and paid $5.20 and $3.60.
Blueberry Smoothie and Goin to the Window, stable mates of Stopshoppingdebbie, finished third and fourth, and were followed by Finding More, Quizzical, Ms. Sutherland and She's Stella Marie.
Blueberry Smoothie and Goin to the Window, also bred and owned by Northwest Farms, finished second and third to Stopshoppingdebbie in all four 3-year-old filly stakes last year.
NOTES: David G. Lopez was involved in a training mishap Sunday morning and was off his mounts, including fifth-race winner Whiskey Prince ($14.20) ridden by Isaias Enriquez. . .90-year-old Don Munger saddled his first winner of the meet as 3-year-old colt Spit and Shine ($5) prevailed under Jose Zunino in the second race. . .Zunino, Isaias Enriquez and Juan Gutierrez all rode two winners on the 10-race card. . .Bowen holds a 22-17 lead over Enriquez and Leslie Mawing in the jockeys' standings. . .Enriquez throws out the first pitch before the Mariners-Rays game Monday night at Safeco Field. . .G.G. Ryder ($3.40), a 3-year-old colt co-owned by George Todaro of Seattle, made it five wins in six starts this year with a victory in the $75,000 Alcatraz Stakes on the turf at Golden Gate Fields. . .Live racing resumes Friday with first post 6:45 p.m.

We came here for my 40th birthday which was on the 13th of October. The Hideaway was a place my husband chose to surprise me with. I had no idea where he was taking me until we pulled in. As we drove here from Northeastern Ohio, my husband continued to tell me that we were going to camp out in luxurious tents. When we finally got here it was such a relief to see the beautiful house. Our experience here was relaxing, welcoming,and enjoyable. Snobilees personality really brightened and made our stay even more delightful. Jens meals were excellent. I enjoyed the delicious Autumn Chicken and waffles. My husband liked the Blackberry Pork Tenderloin. The Triple Chocolate Merlot Cake was absolutely decadent and melt in your mouth. On my Birthday my husband surprised me with my best friend of 20 years and her husband. A delicious homemade birthday cake that Snobilee designed. Later that day I received a excellent one hour massage. After that was the lovely picnic dinner. Finally we went to the Mansfield Haunted Prison. Lots of fun!! Our getaway has been very pleasurable and memorable. Thank you for everything. Robb&Jennifer - Niles,Ohio " "

NORMAN PARK -- For Tommy Smith, it's always been about family.
"I've got my own family, I've got a 21-year-old, I've got step kids I love, kids always come first," he said.
Tommy lives in Norman Park, GA. He had seen Alexis Walker around town with her grandfather before Virginia Sims, Alexis' grandmother, drowned her in June of 2011. Tommy remembers how tough it was in the months after.
"I laid in my bed and cried just about every night for about three months thinking about that little girl, thinking it could have been someone in my family," said an emotional Smith.
Virginia Sims plead guilty to drowning Alexis on Wednesday. She was sentenced to life in prison.
The pond off Moye Rd. in Norman Park is nearly dry now. Investigators say Sims strangled Alexis underwater, causing her to die of asphyxiation.
Tommy Smith wanted to do something for the family. He sold watermelons and donated the money so the family could afford to have a funeral for Alexis. He feels the same today as he did in June, and does not believe justice was served with a life sentence
"It's really sad, I don't know what else to say. And i don't think she should have gotten life in prison, I think she should have gotten the death penalty."
[UPDATE] 2-9 Noon -
A South Georgia woman has entered a plea in the 2011 drowning death of her six year old granddaughter. 47-year-old Virginia Sims plead guilty yesterday and was sentenced to life in prison for the drowning death of her granddaughter Alexis Walker.
The incident occurred in June of 2011 at a pond in Norman Park. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Sims took her granddaughter to the pond near Moye Rd. on the evening of June 20th where she then drowned her.
The official cause of death was asphyxia, which happens when the flow of oxygen is cut off from the brain by strangulation. Investigators believe that Alexis was being strangled by her grandmother while being held under water.
Virginia Sims had a troubled past prior to drowning her granddaughter. A police report indicated in 2010 that Sims was charged with first degree arson and less than 24 hours later was then involved in a single car crash with Alexis inside the vehicle. The Worth County sheriff's office indicated that the crash was a suicide attempt.
The Department of Family and Child services said at the time that they were never made aware of the incidents, or they would have stepped in.
[UPDATED 6/28 at 4:50PM]
Deputies say Virginia Sims drowned her granddaughter Alexis Walker last Monday in Norman Park, Georgia.
A Colquitt County coroner says autopsy results show that the cause of death was asphyxia.
Medical examiners say this happens when the flow of oxygen is cut off from the brain by strangulation.
Sims, who is 46, remains behind bars without bond.
[LAST UPDATED 6/26 at 6:20PM]
Saying a final 'goodbye' is never easy, especially when the person being remembered is a child.
Family and friends in Norman Park, Georgia, said their last farewells to a little girl who died Monday
Members of the Norman Park community say they're 'deeply saddened' by the death of six-year-old Alexis Walker.
The mood was somber at a Georgia Baptist Conference Center auditorium this afternoon, where family and friends gathered quietly to remember the little girl.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the six-year-old died at the hands of her grandmother, Virginia Sims, this past Monday.
They say Sims took Alexis to a pond off Moye Road and drowned her.
Following the services today, 6/26 Alexis was buried in St. James Pallbearers Cemetery.
Alexis' mother, Ashley Walker, requested that we not speak with family members or friends on camera.
She did say through a family spokesperson that her daughter will be missed dearly.
Funeral plans are coming together for a local six-year-old who authorities say died at the hands of her grandmother.
46-year-old Virginia Sims was denied bond Wednesday.
Deputies say Sims admitted to drowning Alexis Walker in a Norman Park pond earlier this week.
Alexis' funeral will be Sunday at 3 p.m., at the Georgia Baptist Assembly in Norman Park, Georgia.
46-year-old Virginia Sims remains behind bars without bond for the drowning death of her 6-year-old granddaughter Alexis Walker.
A frantic call rang through 911 dispatch around seven o'clock Monday night. A call residents describe as gruesome.
"I can't imagine anyone doing that to a child," says Colquitt County resident Jenny Sauls.
But co-workers of Virginia Sims say this isn't the first time she put Alexis in harm's way.
"I heard she burnt the house down and she ran the car into a tree with her and the little girl in the car," says Sims' co-worker Tatiana Hill.
A three page police report indicates Sims was charged with first degree arson and another two page report says she was involved in a single car crash with Alexis inside.
Both incidents happened in May of last year, less than 24 hours apart. So residents are wondering why Alexis wasn't taken out of the home at that time.
" DFCS must be first made aware of any incidents ... regarding suspected abuse before an investigation takes place."
DFCS says if the case would have been reported, they would have stepped in.
We just spoke with Worth County Sheriff's Office who confirmed that Sims said her 2010 car accident was indeed a suicide attempt. Little Alexis was not harmed in that crash.
Virginia Sims made her first appearance today around 3:30 pm. Her bond was denied. No cameras or family members were allowed at the hearing.
[LAST UPDATED 6/21 at 5:55PM]

A south Georgia community is reeling after learning a grandmother allegedly killed her young granddaughter.
Residents WCTV spoke with Tuesday say they're shocked a grandmother would have the desire to hurt her own flesh and blood.
One resident, Keri Howard, says she cried herself to sleep thinking about it.
Says Howard, "I couldn't sleep because, you know, it ain't even 100 feet from our house ... a little girl was in that pond."
Neighbors on rural Moye Road in Norman Park, Georgia say they're still in shock after a grandmother allegedly drowned her granddaughter.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says 46-year-old Virginia Sims took her six-year-old granddaughter, Alexis Walker, to a pond on Moye Road and drowned her at about seven o'clock the evening of June 20, 2011.
They say she drowned the girl, then went to a neighbor's house and asked them to call 911.
Full 911 tape
Howard lives close to the pond where the drowning happened and says she heard the commotion.
She says, "It was very sad because we were out in the yard and we had thought we had heard screaming, but we just associated it with some kids down the road."
But before long, Howard says she realized what she'd heard.
She says, "We later found out that a lady had gone down there and threw [sic] her granddaughter in the pond."
GBI says it's investigating exactly what happened that night.
Neighbors say they've heard rumors the little girl was misbehaving and Sims wanted to 'teach her a lesson.'
Sims has been arrested on murder charges.
In the meantime, investigators are still working to uncover clues in the case.
Dispatch tapes from the 911 call have been released to us and we'll have more soon.

46-year-old Virginia Sims is charged with murder. Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents say she admitted to a resident on Moye Road that she killed her 6-year-old granddaughter in a pond. They say Sims told the resident:
"I need you to call the police for me, I've killed my granddaughter," says GBI Agent Steve Turner.
Residents are still wondering why this happened.
"You can't punish a child and take their life away," says Norman Park resident Rhonda Comer.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigations says Sims threatened to hurt the grandchild anytime there were marital problems between her and her husband.
Agents say the husband tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Investigators say they pulled the lifeless 6-year-old out of the pond and placed her on the dirt road where they tried several times to revive her.
Investigators say Sims hasn't been diagnosed with any mental problems. Those who know her say they believe she does have some issues.
"Mental illness is so prevalent in the U.S., but it's such a stigma because it's difficult to diagnose," says Dr. Gene Sun, a psychiatrist at Archbold Memorial Hospital.
Psychiatrists say the brain is just like any other organ. It can get sick.
[UPDATE] Norman Park, Georgia - June 21, 2011 - Noon -
Authorities say a grandmother has admitted to committing a terrible crime, and they say the victim is the woman's granddaughter.
It happened around 7 o'clock Monday night in the 1700 block of Moye road in Norman Park, Georgia. The GBI says 46-year-old Virginia Sims is behind bars after admitting to drowning her granddaughter, 6-year-old Alexis Walker. We're not sure what the alleged motive was at this time. We are on scene at the pond where the incident took place. We're not sure if the grandmother drowned her granddaughter or if she put the six year old's body in the water after allegedly killing her.
Stay with WCTV for more.

When you're in your late 20s, the last thing you're thinking of is aging skin; however, now, is the perfect time for you to fortify and protect your complexion to prevent the first signs of aging from appearing. Even though your skin does not yet suffer from the depleted collagen levels that lead to wrinkling, environmental impurities and the ultraviolet rays of the sun are already having a negative impact on your skin. Years of exposure to these elements have a cumulative effect, speeding up the aging process. Fortunately, you can protect your complexion and keep it looking radiant and supple longer with the NUXE Nirvanesque collection.
The lineup of products in the NUXE Nirvanesque range contain natural plant extracts that are rich in antioxidants. This allows the formulations found in the NUXE Nirvanesque collection to form an invisible barrier on your complexion, disrupting the aging effects of the free radicals that come in contact with your skin. Regular use of the NUXE Nirvanesque line is clinically proven to safely strengthen your skin tissue to preserve its natural, youthful beauty.
NUXE Nirvanesque products are Paraben-Free.
Just because your skin is not showing any signs of wrinkles when you reach your late 20s doesn't mean that you shouldn't be protecting your skin from damaging environmental conditions. The NUXE Nirvanesque range uses natural medicinals to counteract the effects of free radicals and keep your skin hydrated to ward off expression lines for as long as possible. Keep your complexion beautiful for longer with this lineup of effective products.
NUXE Creme Nirvanesque First Expression Lines Cream - All Skin Types is enriched with antioxidants to prevent oxidizing free radicals from damaging your skin tissue and contributing to aging. A blend of blue lotus and poppy seeds, mauve root, acmella and proprietary Calmosensine work together to resurface your complexion, minimizing the appearance of any tiny lines that have already formed on your skin.
Because dehydrated tissue is far more susceptible to signs associated with premature aging, NUXE Creme Nirvanesque Enrichie First Expression Lines Cream - Dry Skin is a must-have for women aged 25 to 30 that suffer from extremely dry skin. In a clinical study, the formulation of ingredients, which includes macadamia nut and rose muscat oils, relaxed the features and visibly distressed the skin in at least 94 percent of users within just 30 days.
NUXE Nirvanesque First Expression Lines Eye Contour Cream features a formula that receives 90 percent of its volume from natural ingredients like althea root. Within two hours of application, the cream minimizes wrinkles around the eyes by at least 19 percent.

REGIONALREPORT Triangle
RALEIGH LipoScience revived plans to go public. The company, which sells a blood test that monitors risk for heart disease, wants to raise $86.25 million in its initial public offering. It abandoned plans to go public in 2002 after failing to attract enough interest on Wall Street.
DURHAM FHI, a global public-health and economic-development organization, agreed to buy the assets of Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit AED. Terms of the deal, which was expected to close in July, werent disclosed. The acquisition will double FHIs size to about 4,500 employees, including about 380 in Durham.
CHAPEL HILL American Support, which works with cable-television operators, bought Daytona Beach, Fla.-based Evergreen Sales & Marketing. Terms werent disclosed. Evergreen operates call centers for cable companies, while American Support provides customer and billing service. The acquisition increased American Supports workforce from about 165 to about 485.
CARY Research in Motion, which employs about 200 at a research center here, plans to cut an unspecified number of jobs because of lagging sales of its Blackberry smartphones and other devices. The Canada-based company employs about 17,500 worldwide.
ROXBORO Duke LifePoint Healthcare, a joint venture of Duke University Health System and Tennessee-based LifePoint Hospitals, will acquire Person Memorial Hospital. The deal is expected to close in September.
RALEIGH The state Utilities Commission ruled that the Triangle must begin using the 984 area code March 31. Thats a month earlier than the April 30 date that was suggested by the Raleigh-based North Carolina Telecommunications Industry Association. The regions second area code is necessitated by population growth and the proliferation of cellphones and will mean that all local calls will require 10-digit dialing.
RALEIGH Apple Gold Group bought 13 Applebees restaurants in South Carolina from Charleston, S.C.-based Whit-Mart. Terms were not disclosed, but the purchase gives the chain 86 restaurants in the Carolinas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, making it one of the largest Applebees franchisees.Voluntary buyouts are being offered to Duke Energy and Progress Energyemployees this fall as part of their proposed merger, which will create the nations largest utility serving 7.1 million customers in six states. Both companies are expected to shed an unspecified number of workers mostly in the Triangle, since the combined company will assume Dukes name and be based in Charlotte.

Associated Press Release
BOSTON (AP) -- The American Civil Liberties Union says it's concerned the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect will be questioned by investigators without being read his Miranda rights.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KAHR' tsahr-NY'-ehv) remained hospitalized Saturday after being wounded in a firefight with police Friday. His brother was killed earlier.
U.S. officials say a special interrogation team for high-value suspects will question Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights, invoking a rare public safety exception triggered by the need to protect the public from immediate danger.
ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero says the exception applies only when there's a continued threat to public safety and is "not an open-ended exception" to the Miranda rule.
Twin explosions near the Boston Marathon finish line Monday killed three people and wounded more than 180. Tsarnaev's father calls him a "true angel."

(SportsNetwork.com) - Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks target a rare
three-game winning streak when they roll into Cleveland Saturday for a matchup
with the Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena.
The Knicks have won back-to-back games for the first time since a four-game
winning streak from Jan. 24-30. They ended a seven-game slide with a win at
Minnesota on Wednesday and are coming off Friday's 108-81 beating of Utah at
Madison Square Garden, as Anthony led the way with 29 points.
Anthony is averaging 32.2 points in his past 12 games for the Knicks, who
received 17 points from J.R. Smith and 16 and 11 rebounds out of Tyson
Chandler. Chandler is posting an average of 11.2 points and 15.0 rebounds in
his last 10 games with six double-doubles in that time.
"Right now we have to try and win as many basketball games as possible to make
it to the playoffs," said Chandler. "My job as a leader is to do whatever it
takes to win basketball games."
New York, which sits 4 1/2 games off a playoff spot, is 10-20 on the road and
will host Philadelphia on Monday.
In front office news for the Knicks, the Daily News is reporting Phil Jackson
was offered a position with the storied franchise and is expected to make a
decision next week. Jackson played for the Knicks and won 11 titles as head
coach of the Bulls and Lakers.
Jackson is reportedly not interested in coaching.
Meanwhile, Cleveland is 3 1/2 games out in the race for a postseason berth and
hopes to get back in gear versus New York.
The Cavaliers have lost three in a row and six of the last eight games,
including Friday's 101-92 defeat at Charlotte. Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker
combined for 48 points for the Bobcats, while Luol Deng and Dion Waiter scored
19 points apiece in defeat.
Kyrie Irving and Spencer Hawes both had 13 points for the Cavs.
Cleveland hasn't been to the playoffs since 2009-10 and the road ahead is a
tough one. The Cavs, who have a 15-16 home record, will next visit Phoenix,
Golden State and the L.A. Clippers before returning to the Q on March 18 to
start a three-game stay versus Miami, Oklahoma City and Houston.
"We have an opportunity to do some great things, not just for us but for the
city of Cleveland," said Waiters. "I just want to taste the playoffs, that
atmosphere. We have the best fans in the world, why not give them something to
cheer about? Time is ticking, everybody needs to be locked in, including
The Cavs and Knicks have split two meetings this season, but New York is 7-3
in the last 10 games in this series. However, the Knicks have struggled
recently in Cleveland, losing 11 of 13 visits there.

Source: received it as a personal gift
This is a very good tent at an affordable price. It goes up very quickly and can withstand some strong weather. It is just big enough for 4 adults, but not for more than a weekend backpack. Alternatively car-camping, it is ideal for.
- Ambient space
- Flexibility of ventilation
- Wide opening front vestibule
- Hard to get the tub groundsheet wrinkle free, due to tension of the middle pole
Got this tent 18 years ago, and this Scottish summer (worst for 30 years) it leaked through the groundsheet. This is the only problem we ever had with it, and when new we sealed it up as per the manufacturer's instructions.
There is definitely a knack of pitching it with the small space between the flysheet and the ground evenly all around. Nearly always, there is more gap on one side than another. We have rigged a drying line around the loops inside, which is perfect for everything from a dishcloth to damp socks.
For us, this tent has been well used and well loved, and now needs a little TLC in the form of re-sealing.
I have owned my Stratos for 8 years now and at last…
Design: four season freestanding dome
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: piece of cake
Weight: 10
I have owned my Stratos for 8 years now and at last count have spent 279 nights in this tent. I use this tent not only for personal use but I also used it in the past while guiding hunters here in Alaska. I have used several other types of mid sized tents, and the Stratos beat them all hands down. Set up and tear down time, durability, comfort, and piece of mind knowing I have a reliable shelter I can depend on.
It will sleep 3 adults with room to spare, the dual doors and vestibules make it perfect for two. It is not an ultralight tent nor was it designed to be, but it is in my opinion the best tent in its class.
Once on a spring bear hunt along the Alaska coast the weather went sour with winds sustained at 60 to 90 mph and gusts over 100, of the three tents my Stratos and two made by MSR, the only tent without damage and still standing a day and a half later when the weather cleared was my Stratos.

Design: 3 season freestandig dome (i think)
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: once you've done it once it's all good!
Weight: 10+/- pounds
Price Paid: $300+/-
We have used this tent for 2 adults/2 children (5 & 2) with a queen size air mattress and plenty of room for our stuff...just looking online for a similar tent which would hold our now growing 2 adult/3 child family especially as they are getting older...love this tent and will keep if for our kids to use when they are old enough to be in it on their own.
Never had a problem with rain/leakage/etc...have had the tent since about 1998+/-...and don't see where people are saying there isn't enough air!. The sides both can fold down to expose a massive amount of screen AND you can even take the rain flap off on beautiful/clear/rainfree nights and see all the stars while you sleep.
We have taken this primarily around NE...in the cold wet of Acadia National Park in Maine in May when it always seems to rain each year...to the backyard in Rhode Island...and over to Nova Scotia where we watched the stars! Also have slept very comfortably 4 adults in Vermont! and I think it is actually a 6 person tent if you put your stuff outside the tent (which I don't like to do personally!).
We have also taken it backpacking on a very hot weekend in July in VT (which turned to rain the second we reached the peak to set up) and like others have said it can be divided up between packs if needed and setup I think is easy and should typ. be done in the house or backyard first...why would you ever set up for the first time in the middle of the woods with no stores around you??? Maybe it's just that I lack those male genes?
Anyway...I think this tent is no longer made, but if you see one on ebay def. grab it...there are pictures on www.outdoorreview.com too if you need to see it! We were choosing between this and a Moss tent at the time and didn't want to pay the price for a Moss when this was so similar!
My wife and I have used this tent now for 4 seasons.
Design: 4 season ?
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: difficult
Weight: 11+#
My wife and I have used this tent now for 4 seasons. I have to say that, although the tent is well constructed, it is much harder to set up than the Sierra Designs tent we have. Once set up, it does withstand some severe weather though.
Last week, I found that the shock cords on the poles are starting to weaken (like an elastic band that doesn't work anymore), to the point where the poles are difficult to insert into each other (a lot of slack cord needing to be finangled into the poles!).
We are looking to replace this tent with another...after only 4 summers of use. Not impressed!
I have a Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight that is 20 years old, and it sets up as good as the day I bought it!

Great tent! I know people don't like the weight, but…
Design: dome
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Very easy
Weight: 9.5
Price Paid: $200
Great tent! I know people don't like the weight, but if you take a three-man tent you should not be by yourself. Break it up between the group. I had this tent at 7,000 feet in 20 degree weather in 40 mph wind and it worked great. The only problem was one of the zippers froze. The size is great and you can really put three big people in this tent. The inside zipper has cool glow tabs so you can get out at night. The two door design is great so you don't have to step over people getting out. Overall 90 out of 100. The only problem is the top of the tent has a small flat stop that holds water and snow.

Design: 4 season convertible
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: easy
Weight: 9+
Price Paid: $389
Great for inclement weather car camping. Too heavy for a backpacking or motorcycle camping tent. It's huge and heavy. My only real complaint is that the rainfly is a pain. It takes twice as long to put the rainfly on as it does to erect the tent itself. The quality is excellent, as with most NF products, and it has a whole host of well-thought-out extra features that, once you have, you don't want to live without.
The more I use this tent the more I like about it.
Design: 3+
Sleeps: 3+
Ease of Setup: simple and quick
Weight: 9#7oz
Price Paid: $425 retail
The more I use this tent the more I like about it. I have used it in wind, rain, sleet and snow and it has never failed to impress. The more you use it, the more versatile you find it to be. The fly allows an infinite amount of adjustments for any weather conditions. My gear and I have never gotten wet. I love this tent!

Design: 3 season dome
Sleeps: 3+
Ease of Setup: Not too hard if you read the instructions and have a little practice.
Weight: kinda heavy
Price Paid: $250 cdn (used)
This is a sturdy tent, but tends to dry out rather slowly. It seems kind of stupid that they expect you to seal the seams for yourself though. The top opens up to vent well, which is good if you're just done hot boxing. Also it doesn't wash to well either.
Great tent if you don't need a serious 4-season/expedition…
Design: 3-4 Season
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Easy--Rain fly takes a little longer and must be staked or tied off for the vestibules.
Weight: ~9 lb
Price Paid: $300 (on sale)
Great tent if you don't need a serious 4-season/expedition tent. Most 4-season tents are actually 3-season anyway since they're too hot in the summer. This tent is a nice compromise--plenty of ventilation in the roof and double doors. Large vestibules on both sides. Has held up great for me in high winds, rain, and snow. Plus, you don't have to buy a footprint. A generic rectangular tarp fits the floor profile just right (if you don't mind the extra bulk and weight).
Allright, now that I've sold my Himalayan Hotel to…
Design: modified dome
Sleeps: 3+
Ease of Setup: 2-3 minutes max, due to 3 equal length poles
Weight: around 9.5 pounds
Price Paid: retail: $425, I paid $320 with store discount
Allright, now that I've sold my Himalayan Hotel to someone doing a Denali trip, I can comfortably tote this nine pound wonder into Yosemite backcountry! Being a convertable tent, it has zip-out solid panels inside all mesh, leaving you with endless options for ventilation. I actually found myself raising and lowering zippers throughout the night to fine-tune the cross-breeze. And since I hate staggering out in a downpour to put up the fly, the zip-out roof is perfect for iffy nights.
I couldn't be more happy with room either, as I buy three-man tents for two people. This is because I'm over 6 feet, and I hate touching walls with condensation in the morning!!! So, very generous room, both floor and height! The other beautiful thing is the three equal poles that make for very quick setups, and enough pockets to guarantee you never roll over on a Mag-lite at 2 a.m! The hooks in the ceiling are unfortunately at different heights, so when using a gear loft, you have to be careful things don't roll out onto your head.
Rating: 10 out of 10, definitely worth the weight! (pun intended) :)

Ease of Setup: Easy after 2 or 3 practices
Weight: 9.5 lbs
Price Paid: $425
Extremely well ventilated with two opposing full screen doors and a large ceiling screen--all of which can be zip shut in cold weather. Many nice convience features included--lantern loop, plenty of intergrated storage pockets, etc. One really nice feature is the fly can be partially installed on one half leaving the ceiling open for star gazing and should rain occur later the fly can be completely installed very quickly. Only drawback is it is heavier by about a pound than the lightest three-man tents. If weight isn't extremely important would highly recommend it.

Design: 4 season plus
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: very easy
Weight: 9 lbs
Price Paid: N/A
I found this tent to be a luxury on a three day trip in northeast Iowa. It performed great, staying dry for the most part. Only bad things were that if you completely close the roof there is a build up of condensation on the floor and walls. Also, a foam support is needed on both sides of the tent to keep the fly and tent seperate, only one provided. It stood up to a night of fog and rain, even when the water droplets froze to the outsides.
Great tent, great design, great performance.
The only drawback of this tent is the weight, other…
Design: 3+ season
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Very easy after some practice
Weight: 9.3 lbs
Price Paid: $580 Canadian
The only drawback of this tent is the weight, other than that it is a great 3+ season shelter. The tent is completely waterproof. It recently held up very well during 65 mph winds and torrential rain in Algonquin National Park, Ontario. Like all North Face tents, the fly goes all the way to the ground, and this particular tent has two doors, and two vestibules for storage.
The best tent I've ever owned.

MASTER CLASS: A Change Perspective: "Positive Leadership & Life Transitions"
18 de junio 2012
Whilst thinking, participating and coming up with ideas related to current issues, you will also be able to experience what a real class is like in an IE program and understand the difference between traditional teaching methodologies and the methods used by the world's top schools. These methods are based on real case studies, team work, and situations where the student is the protagonist.
A Change Management focused session based on "Positive Leadership" principles and Clendenin's experiences with Xerox Corporation (Business), The United States Marine Corps (Military), and as an international athlete (Sports). The session presents the myriad personal challenges of "Intrapreneural" leadership in managing global internal business customers, keeping up with technology across one's business career and finding ways to successfully compete in the changing world of the 21st Century. The session concludes with steps for personal, family, financial, and professional success.
Professor Clendenin is featured in the May 2012 Harvard Business Review article: "Make your Enemies your Allies".
Professor Clendenin has addressed thousands of people internationally while public speaking, delivering conference keynotes and developing workshops for business professionals, International Organizations and Governments. The first half of John's life included serving 38 years in the United States Marine Corps, international athletic competition, coaching as a sports psychologist for the 1984 Olympic team and running for the U.S. Congress. John retired as an executive at Xerox Corporation in 1998 and joined the Senior Faculty at Harvard Business School. He currently teaches on-line courses as a Distinguished Visiting Professor for IE Business School where he is also Senior Associate Dean for Graduate Programs of IE University. His research work involves the development of Global leadership traits and principles for effective multicultural change. John is the founder of Inner Circle Logistics and the Supply Chain Centers of Regional Excellence (SCCORE). The company is focused on complex Systems of Systems (SoS) interoperability in trade facilitation and Electronic Health Records (EHR). He was first selected for listing in Who's Who in the World in 1995 and in Who's Who in Science and Engineering in 1998. He was also awarded a U.S. Business Process Patent in 2006.
