Osborne A. Payne, 87
Osborne Allen Payne, a Baltimore businessman who left a distinguished career in education to become a leading restaurateur, entrepreneur and philanthropist, died Nov. 27, at Gilchrist Center Howard County in Columbia, Md. of complications of Alzheimer's disease. The longtime Columbia and Baltimore resident was 87.
Mr. Payne was a founder of Associated Black Charities and the Presidents' Roundtable business group, but he was perhaps best known for bringing McDonald's restaurants into Baltimore City and being in the vanguard of entrepreneurs who helped make the eatery an urban staple nationwide.
He was the first president of the Black McDonald's Owner-Operators Association (BMOA) and mentored many successful franchise owners, including Cathy Bell of Columbia and the late Harlow Fullwood, who ran several KFC stores in Baltimore. Mr. Payne and Mr. Fullwood were enshrined as ground breaking entrepreneurs in the Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore in 2001.
Mr. Payne was the first African-American to win McDonald's prestigious Golden Arch Award, for running outstanding stores. It was one of numerous professional and community awards and honors – including many from the city of Baltimore and state of Maryland – that underscored the life of the active public servant.
He was born in Bedford, Va. on May 26, 1925, the only child of Georgia and Emmanuel Payne. He often shared stories about this father, a porter for the Norfolk and Western Railroad and his mother, a teacher. The impact of a strong work ethic and family values modeled by his parents were reflected in his life.
He was reared in Roanoke and graduated from Addison High School in 1943. He entered the U.S. Navy, stationed at Norfolk Air Force Base and was discharged in 1946 as a 3rd Class Aviation medalsmith. The Navy may well have been the springboard for his love of boating; and he later kept a vessel on Baltimore Harbor.
Having served in the military, Mr. Payne used the GI Bill to enroll at Virginia Union University. While there in 1948, he married Sylvia Coles. A daughter, the late Andrea Kyles, was born in 1952.
In 1950, Mr. Payne received a bachelor of arts degree in history from Virginia Union; and in 1955, he earned a master of science degree in education administration from Virginia State University. Mr. Payne also took additional courses in education administration at the University of Virginia.
He started his professional career in 1950 as an elementary school teacher in Virginia's Chesterfield and Henrico counties. In 1957, he moved to Richmond, where he taught at West End Elementary School and was ultimately named principal of Mary Scott Elementary School. He later served as principal of Richmond's Whitcomb Court Elementary School until 1962. There, he pioneered team-teaching and other advanced instructional techniques that proved to be foundational for his work with the National Educational Association (NEA) in Washington, D.C.
In 1960, he met the former Famebridge Cunningham, then an elementary school teacher in Richmond, at an education conference in New York. He surrendered his seat to her on a crowded conference bus, and they began a romance that led to their wedding on March 18, 1961. Their daughter Famebridge Sannequille was born the following year.
Education was very important to him, and through it, he made some of his most significant life connections. Such a link came during an educational workshop in Ohio shortly after he and Fambridge were married, when Payne learned of a position as educational advisor in West Africa for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). With this wife and newborn, Mr. Payne accepted an assignment in Liberia, overseeing the building of 20 schools, from 1962-63, the year his daughter Sarita Sinyea was born in Liberia.
After the school-construction project ended, he served from 1963-65 as acting Dean of Instruction for Cuttington College, an Episcopal liberal arts school in Liberia, which in 1986 awarded him an honorary doctorate in International Relations.
He returned to Virginia in 1965 and helped Roanoke Valley organize its first anti-poverty program, Total Action Against Poverty (TAP). He ultimately became TAP's educational director and helped establish 10 day-care centers in Roanoke and vicinity.
In 1967, he accepted a job with the National Education Association (NEA) as director of NEA-SEARCH, with the mission of locating available positions for teachers; principally for those displaced by desegregation. Later, he became a field coordinator, working with principals and conducting seminars nationwide.
While attending a principal's convention in Miami, he made another important connection, in a chance meeting with a McDonald's owner-operator. That sparked his entrepreneurial fires.
After learning about the expanding McDonald's restaurant business, he applied for a McDonald's license and was accepted. From 1972-73, he trained in the evenings and on weekends with the McDonald's Corp., while continuing to work full time with the NEA. In 1973, he completed 30 hours of course work in business administration and marketing at the University of Maryland, College Park. After commuting from Washington to Roanoke for a time, the family settled in Silver Spring, Md.
In 1974, the corporate entity of Broadway-Payne with Osborne Payne as its CEO opened its first McDonald's doors on Broadway, between North Avenue and Harford Road, in east Baltimore. The eatery was so successful, he spent the next two decades opening, owing and operating McDonald's franchises throughout the city, including at North Avenue and Charles Street, Franklin Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, and Greenmount Avenue and 28th Street and on Liberty Road in Baltimore County. He also ran a McDonald's Corp store on Eutaw Street in downtown Baltimore for two years.
During his tenure as a McDonald's owner-operator, he was acknowledged for the training and employment of Baltimore City youth. He understood the importance of active community engagement and often contributed to local community efforts. He was honored by Project Survival – one of many social causes to which he contributed in 1985.
Mr. Payne was an active member of the Black McDonald's Operators Association, which provided camaraderie and support to its members. His commitment to the quality standards for food, service and business operations of the McDonald's Corp. was evidenced by the chain's many awards to him for operator excellence. McDonald's plaques lined his walls.
The restaurant business was a launching pad for other entrepreneurial ventures. He also ran Baltimore Speciality Tours, offering boat and limousine services. He retired in 1999.
Mr. Payne's entrepreneurial spirit and civic commitments were out matched only by his devotion to the church. Though raised in the Baptist tradition, for more than 35 years, he was a loyal member of St. Johns Episcopal Church in Ellicott City, Md., where he served on the vestry and was the church's first African-America senior warden. He also was a long-time usher and served as the chairman of stewardship programs, helping to coordinate the church's tithing initiatives.
He was a member of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Gamma chapter, and a life-member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He was named an Omega Man of the Year in 1962, and in 1979, an Omega Businessman of the Year.
He was founding chairman of Associated Black Charities, a founding member of the Presidents' Roundtable (a group of black business leaders), and a founding director of Columbia Bank (now Fulton Financial).
He was a former member of the American Teachers Association and a life member of the National Education Association and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Governor William Donald Schaefer appointed him to the State Board of Education (later the Maryland Higher Education Commission). He completed his second five-year term under Governor Parris Glendening. He also served two terms on the Maryland State Lottery Commission.
He served on many boards, including the trustees of Virginia Union University, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, the National Conference on Christians and Jews, the American Red Cross-Baltimore Chapter, Arena Players, Baltimore Museum of Art, Ronald McDonald House, Girl Scouts of Central Maryland, United Way of Central Maryland, Howard County General Hospital, Baltimore Goodwill Industries, Signal 13 Foundation of the Baltimore City Police Department, and the Campaign for Our Children.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Famebridge (Cunningham) of Columbia, two daughters, Famebridge S. Witherspoon, (Gary) of Lawrence, Massachusetts; and Sarita Payne of Columbia; two grandchildren, Astarte Barnett (Joshua) of Phoenix, Arizona, and Jackson Osborne Witherspoon of Lawrence, Ma.; and two great-grandchildren, Londyn and Aubri Barnett of Phoenix, Az.
He also leaves a legacy of service and strong determination until the end.

ATLANTA -- Just after prosecutors gave their opening statements Wednesday in the trial of Jeremy Moody, the suspect pleaded guilty.
Moody, 35, is charged with murder, rape, kidnapping, aggravated assault and obstruction in the April 2007 deaths of 15-year-old Delarlonva Mattox and 13-year-old Chrisondra Kimble.
The sentencing phase of the trial is set to begin Apr. 15. Jurors will decide if Moody gets the death penalty.
The victims' bodies were found in the woods behind Bethune Elementary School in south Fulton County, a day after they were last seen leaving a nearby convenience store.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner said both teens, who were cousins, were stabbed multiple times in the head, throat and chest. Kimble was also sexually assaulted.
Moody was arrested at a Greyhound bus station a day after the bodies were found.
The suspect set himself on fire in his cell at the Fulton County Jail in early 2010.

Well, well...
Thanks to Elaine + Mark over at my fave tennis social networking site Tennisopolis for sending me the images and video of Novak Djokovic + Maria Sharapova at Opium in Miami for the Sony Ericsson player party.
Let's set the scene: Nole + Maria arrive separately to the party and take a fun photo with Maria's Hollywood friend Camilla Belle.
Next they're photographed with Nole's arm lovingly wrapped around the Russian. Fast forward to the end of the evening - Maria + Camilla are filmed exiting Opium and getting into an SUV. As the car is about to leave, a certain someone (who looks a bit nervous to me) jumps into the backseat as the group takes off.
Click here and see for yourself.
I know they constantly dismiss the rumors that they're dating, and Nole was dating Jelena at one point. But the proof is SO in the puddin' this time baby!

THE LOW DOWN: More Nole + Maria from Miami, romance rumors hit all-time high
5 comments:
Wow that is a great find! Novak definitely looked very nervous as he got in the backseat, haha!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link Rich! I love how you just weave this whole thing together. It was interesting seeing the fun pic, AND THEN the snuggle on the couch after.ReplyDelete
no worries Mark - that's what it's all about i think.ReplyDelete
yeah taking the pic with Camilla makes it all look like friends just hanging out, which it could be but the couch pic and video tell a different kind of story.

Why all the mistery concerning Maria and the Djoker? Russia and Serbia has always shared this orthodox love! =))ReplyDelete
lol, i think alot can be made of a photo AND a video. a friend can't get in the car with another friend? just cause he's not all smiles automatically means he's nervous (and specifically anxious about concealing his relationship with masha of course)ReplyDelete
to me they seem totally like brother and sister. they are close and affectionate with eachother. can't a guy and a girl be cuddly friends without there being anything else going on? answer: of course.
i like how yr site doesn't have the 2348763 times she's been photographed with her gf camilla *all around the world* as well. the scenario can parallel her and novak's relationship in the same way i described but it's just far, far more abundant in occurrence;)

Gaewood Avenue resident Doug Pell recently complained to Wheeling Traffic Commission members about receiving a ''no parking'' ticket while parked in front of his house.
He noted, however, the ''no parking'' area is actually located across from his home at another address. And since that home is vacant, he wanted the sign removed.
However, after taking a look at the ticket, Deputy Police Chief Martin Kimball said whoever issued the ticket to Pell actually gave him a break. He was given a ''no parking'' ticket charge of $20, but his actual infraction of an expired license plate tag would have cost him much more - about $300, Kimball said.

Wheeling Traffic Commission member Pat Duffy talks about the increasing number of congested residential parking areas during a recent meeting.
''You are not allowed to park on the street with expired registration. They should have marked 'other' but they did you a favor ... that's a much cheaper ticket,'' Kimball said.
Operations Supervisor Tim Birch, who serves as an adviser for the commission, told Pell he would still have the ''no parking'' sign removed since it was not needed anymore.
Meanwhile during the same meeting, members denied a handicapped parking request for 127 Edgwood St. because they believed the homeowner should park in the rear of her property.
Commissioners said doing so would provide the homeowner a shorter walk to the house. They also said she should park there instead of allowing her grandchildren to use the area on a daily basis.

State is taking tax break back
SACRAMENTO About 2,000 small business owners and investors across California are being forced to retroactively pay the state four years of assessments totaling $120 million plus interest, based on a decision by the Franchise Tax Board.
In December, the state agency that administers personal income and corporate taxes ended a nearly 20-year-old tax incentive designed to spur investment in startup companies and small businesses, citing a court ruling. The benefit allowed small business investors who sold their stock at a gain to exclude half the profits from their income taxes.
Bruce Hansen, who cofounded ID Analytics in San Diego and led the company as chairman and chief executive until its sale to LifeLock for $195 million in 2012, said the biggest heartache was discovering that the state was changing the rules dating back several years. It's a decision that he says will cost him several hundred thousand dollars.
"I don't mind paying taxes," Hansen said. "But California has just gone over the top. This is no way to do business in my mind."
The agency decision is estimated to affect about 500 small business owners and shareholders for taxes to be paid this year and each of the past four years. The estimate of $120 million plus $8 million in interest only covers the four past years, as taxes this year are not due until April.
The decision was made at the staff level, not by the three members of the Franchise Tax Board — John Chiang, state controller; Jerome E. Horton, chairman of the Board of Equalization and Ana Matosantos, state finance director.
The central issue is that a legislative policy decision was found unconstitutional, and the Legislature must determine the next course of action, said Jacob Roper, a spokesman for Chiang, chairman of the tax board.
"In the meantime, the controller can sympathize with any taxpayer who faces shifting rules and applications of the law," Roper said. "Complex and changing tax rules add to a taxpayer's burden, and this is just one reason the controller thinks a broad tax reform package is overdue."
The court case at issue was brought against the Franchise Tax Board by Frank Cutler. Cutler sought to take advantage of the tax break but was denied because the law only gave that consideration to small businesses with 80 percent of assets and payroll in California. The Second District Court of Appeal held that the statute violated the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution because it discriminated against out of state businesses.
The Franchise Tax Board says it had little choice but to invalidate the exclusion after the August ruling.
"In treating all taxpayers the same — because the statute is now null and void — we are issuing tax assessments for the open years saying you can't have this exclusion," spokeswoman Denise Azimi said.
Marty Dakessian, an attorney representing Cutler, questioned why the tax board's decision to seek back assessments from investors was made at the staff level rather than by tax board members or elected lawmakers. He said the financial incentives to small businesses are critical as the state works its way through the economic recovery.
"These are incentives that encourage the growth of small business and creation of jobs and all the things that people in Sacramento like to talk about," Dakessian said. "And when you have Franchise Tax Board bureaucrats making decisions based on revenue, without regard for whether this helps or hurts our job-creating climate, that's a problem."
"For this decision to not be in the hands of people directly accountable to voters frankly is wrong," he added. "This is a black eye for California."

we are running Lotus Notes and I am looking into Zimbra as a good solution to replace our Lotus Notes environment. I know that there are migration tools etc. and have read posts relating to that. Is there any way of running Zimbra in parallell with and existing Notes installation in a way that the Lotus Notes Calendrars and Users could be synced into Zimbra so that users can slowly migrate over to Zimbra, meaning that some users would use Zimbra and still get the Calendar events from the old Notes server, and perhaps vice versa? Any API to sync the calenders between the two platforms? With emails it should be quite straightforward using POP/IMAP or similar means to sync the mailboxes, but calendars are a bit different and quite frankly I don't know how they are implemented in Lotus Notes...
Anybody have any good ideas if this can be accomplished and how?
Best regards,
Kim Halavakoski

Should Boston public schools have longer days? The question often comes up in discussions about improving city schools. Some say extended school time -- for instruction or enrichment -- is a key reason Boston's charter schools outperform its traditional schools on test scores. But some advocates warn that longer days are no panacea. And extended days have been notoriously hard to implement: A proposal to stretch the day by 45 minutes was a major sticking point in last year's teacher contract negotiations, and the School Department eventually dropped the demand.
So, should Boston public schools have longer days?

Marshalltown Man Pleads No Contest To Robbing So. Sioux City Bank
DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) - A 28-year-old Iowa man is scheduled to be sentenced in March for a bank robbery in northeast Nebraska.
Robert Thomas of Marshalltown, Iowa, pleaded no contest on Tuesday to a charge of attempted robbery. Prosecutors lowered the original robbery charge in exchange for his plea.
Police say Thomas robbed a Bank of the West branch in South Sioux City on July 23rd, getting away that day with nearly $6,200.
Governor and Legislature Have Differences of Opinion On Surplus Funds
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican lawmakers and Gov. Terry Branstad have very different ideas on how to use state budget surplus dollars.
Branstad has proposed spending much of Iowa's nearly $1 billion surplus on property tax cuts and education reforms over the next five years. But Republican leaders in the Legislature announced
Thursday they would back proposals to credit extra money back to taxpayers. The state first would ensure that reserve funds were filled.
Senate Republican leader Bill Dix proposed a credit of $750 per family
The proposal could pass the House, held by Republicans, but might face problems in the Senate, controlled by Democrats.
Asked about the Republicans' proposal, Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht noted that property tax cuts were the governor's priority. Albrecht says Branstad would review any tax proposal lawmakers
Republicans To Introduce Photo ID Voting Bill
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State Senate Republicans will introduce legislation requiring that Iowans present photo identification in order to vote.
Senate Minority Leader Bill Dix of Shell Rock says Thursday that the law would protect the integrity of the voting system.
Existing Iowa law doesn't require voters to show photo identification. Although Democrats say Iowa has little history of voter fraud, Republicans argue the risk remains and identification
should be required.
The bill is modeled after similar legislation introduced by Secretary of State Matt Schultz.
A Senate aide says filing the Senate bill demonstrates Republican support for the idea.
Democrats have opposed Schultz's proposal. They argue Republicans are motivated by a desire to discourage voting by groups who typically favor Democrats, such as immigrants,
low-income people and the elderly.
Flu Outbreak Affecting Blood Donations
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Officials say a bad flu season and other factors are to blame for a drop in blood donations that has left supplies at dangerously low levels.
Nicole Hanger, of LifeServe Blood Center, says donations started to drop about four weeks ago when a big winter storm hit. Then more people came down with the flu and donations remained low.
The blood center likes to have a three- to five-day supply, but that's now down to a one- or two-day supply.
LifeServe provides blood to hospitals in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.
The center is calling donors and sending out emails to spur donations.

What kind of style would you like? (I don't have time sadly or i'd take this in a heartbeat. Just asking.)
I have a scope of the work I'm looking for that was done in Word. It is as follows:
Project Scope:
I'm looking for a reliable and honest Cartographer with professional, quality examples of their best work for a custom map that is for personal use; it is very important to me, and is needed for print and digital format; also will provide examples of maps and styles I like.
Fantasy isles with one main and couple smaller islands
Map Appearance:
aerial view of the isles with the names of cities, lands, and geographic markers; also custom art work as in the form of a plaque with information and compass and border
Number of Maps: 2
One main map with an aerial view of the isles and water with names and key locations
One map with a larger view of the isles' land regions divided by color and full names of cities, towns, roads, mountains, valleys, fields, rivers, lakes, marshes, forests, and sea coast lines
Size and Delivery Method:
I would prefer it to be done in vector or large landscape poster size and saved as .jpg or .tiff
I would like full copyrights.
A non disclosure/non compete.
I need a non disclosure agreement, nothing complex just straight forward
Within 4 months but willing to work
$300 total and half up front via Paypal and the remainder on completion of final files
What kind of style would you like? (I don't have time sadly or i'd take this in a heartbeat. Just asking.)
That pay seems a bit low for what you are asking though clarification on what you mean by "poster sized" and "non-disclosure agreement" might help.
Thanks for the input. The pay can be negotiable as long as it is a unique, one of a kind map. For general maps that is fine to use standard brushes or using drop ins, but for this project I need it to be special. By poster sized, I just wanted to be able to print as 24x36 and not lose clarity or quality. Vector in AI would probably be best suited to accomplish this, or even Photoshop, but again maps aren't my area of expertise. The non-disclosure is just a standard form stating that what I provide, names and such, are proprietary, and cannot be used. This is a standard in my industry, and something I provide for my clients.
The style names I'm not sure of, but I have seen photos and would be happy to post a link or image and the different aspects I like. Maybe you could explain what each style is called or categorized as. I'm just unsure as I'm new to this.
I am interested in your project. You may take a look at my site here http://stratarealm.com
hi redgrave - it would be cool if you'd link to examples of the style you need
concerning the ND it seems like overkill as you'd be protected by normal copyright, but as long as its kept simple and tight (ie don't hamper the cartographers other work) there should be no problem. Neither does the copyright transferral but I'm guessing all of us would want to be able to show the map in our portfolios.
... I might be interested, feel free to swing by my webpage to see examples of some of my works - www.tilt.dk - it is under development as I've just changed to wordpress yesterday and still trying to get it to do what I want ... you can also mail me on firstname.lastname@example.com ... if you like you can also check out www.catapult.dk for my graphic artist work

Sounds interesting, but, as already said by others, it would be good to have reference maps for the style.

ATLANTA -- The Metro Atlanta area is quickly becoming the movie making capital of the South.
RELATED | Atlanta-Area Production Company Job Opportunities
Close on the heels of an announcement of a new production complex coming to Gwinnett County, British film giant Pinewood Studios -- the makers of the James Bond 007 movies, says it will open its first United States production facilities in Fayetteville in January.
The opening of Pinewood would mean thousands of jobs, millions of dollars in salaries and hundreds of movies and television shows. And it's an industry on the fast track.
A number of movies are currently filming in the Atlanta area -- movies like Anchorman 2, Flight and Trouble with the Curve. And on the TV side, shows like The Walking Dead and Vampire Diaries all film in Atlanta and the surrounding area.
"TV and movie production is an incredibly labor intensive business and it cannot be put on a microchip," said Kris Bagwell, Executive Vice President of EUE Screen Gems, with sound stages in South Atlanta.
"We see a lot of people that are out of work in other industries. Painters, set painting, construction people getting into set building, accountants, hair dressers, anything you can think of, in addition to camera operators," said Lee Thomas, Director of Film, Music and Digital Entertainment for the State of Georgia.
And as the industry expands so will job opportunities.
"We've never been able to get those huge scale movies in the past because we didn't have a big campus of buildings but now we are going to have several of them and I think at one time you can expect to see a thousand people on those lots at one time," Thomas added.
Towering over the movie making surge are the six sound stages at the EUE Screen Gems complex near the Lakewood Amphitheatre. Resembling the architecture of their Hollywood counterparts, the stages bring in hundreds of local jobs for each production, along with funneling big business to caterers, restaurants, and hotels.
For more information on getting jobs in the movie business visit the 11Alive Help Desk online.

High standards, unique offers and unforgettable moments are what you may expect. The wellseasoned mixture of fascinating architecture and exquisite interiors, the courtesy of the employees and the catering that has won many awards - all this makes your stay at one of the hotels of the Althoff Hotel Collection an exceptional experience.
Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg is nestled in beautiful surroundings with a wonderful view of Cologne Cathedral.
The unique location of Seehotel Bavaria directly by the lake Tegernsee and a spectacular panorama are extras that will provide an exceptional atmosphere at any time of the year.
The 5-star hotel is situated in the park landscape of the castle gardens of Stuttgart in immediate proximity to the Königstraße shopping zone as well as many cultural institutions.
Built as a baroque palace in 1680, today, Fürstenhof Celle is known for tradition and private hospitality with an exceptionally unique ambience.
The luxury hotel is located in the heart of London close to Buckingham Palace and St. James 's Palace and only minutes away from Piccadilly Circus.
Between the sky and the sea, on one of the hills of Gassin, the Villa Belrose, a 5 star hotel, is located at the Côte d'Azur, five minutes away from the well-known small village of Saint-Tropez.
After having renovated the interior and exterior of our luxury hotel in the heart of Cologne, we will re-open our doors for our guests as a proud member of the Althoff Hotel Collection.

dreams one night- nothing the next?
I'm about 10 weeks along and I been having crazy dreams, but last night there was nothing- I barely slept at all. I've had 2 miscarriages before and I'm kind of scared. Is it normal ? Should I be worried there's something wrong?

Professor of Social Welfare and Public Policy Fernando Torres-Gil has been named the recipient of the 2013 "Legacy of Leadership" award from the White House Fellows Foundation & Association and received his award on Friday, Oct. 25.
Torres-Gil, a former chair of the Social Welfare department and director of the Center for Policy Research on Aging, served as aWhite House Fellow in 1978-79.
Fellows work as full-time, paid special assistants to senior staff in the White House, the Office of the Vice President, and federal Departments. Past program participants include Colin Powell, Gen. Wesley Clark, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, as well as members of Congress, judges, CEOs and nonprofit executives.
The child of Mexican immigrants in rural California, Torres-Gil has focused his academic career on those that are less fortunate. He is the author of six books and more than 100 articles on gerontology, the disabled and immigrant populations. In addition to his academic credentials, he has served various roles in government, including as Assistant Secretary for Aging in President Clinton's Department of Health and Human Services. President Obama named him Vice Chair of the National Council on Disability in 2010.
Named for program founder John W. Gardner, a public servant who led the implementation of Medicare in the Johnson Administration, the Legacy of Leadership award honors outstanding program alumni. Gardner "challenged all White House Fellows to commit to a lifetime of public service: to return to their communities after their Fellowship year and become agents of change and renewal," the award commendation reads. "By any measure, Fernando has lived all the values of the White House Fellows program."
Torres-Gil will accept the award at the Fellows' Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 25.

UAW Says GM Workers Ratify Labor Contract By 2-to-1 Margin
Under the pact, the automaker's 48,000 hourly workers have traded the promise of generous pay and benefits for job security and compensation gains that are more closely tied to the automaker's health, profitability and quality advances.
The United Auto Workers has ratified a four-year labor agreement with General Motors Co. by a 2-to-1 margin, marking another milestone in the automaker's post-bankruptcy restructuring.
The union, in a statement, said the vote was 65 percent in favor of the agreement among production workers. Among skilled-trades workers who voted, 63 percent approved the deal, the UAW said.
The union reached a tentative agreement with GM on Sept. 16.
GM is the first of Detroit's three automakers to negotiate a settlement with the union. The UAW is now engaged in final talks to secure a labor accord with Ford Motor Co. The union's contract with Chrysler has been extended through Oct. 19.
Under the pact, GM's 48,000 hourly workers have traded the promise of generous pay and benefits for job security and compensation gains that are more closely tied to the automaker's health, profitability and quality advances.
"The UAW and GM entered into this set of bargaining as America struggles with record levels of unemployment and an economy that shows little sign of improvement," UAW President Bob King said in statement.
"Because of President Obama's and the American taxpayers' backing of our jobs and our companies, we were determined to work together with GM management to grow jobs in the U.S. and to get more Americans back to work and we are doing just that."
The GM deal provides workers with a $5,000 signing bonus for approving the pact, $1,000 lump sum "inflation protection" payments in 2012, 2013 and 2014, a richer profit-sharing program and the promise of 6,400 retained or new jobs.
GM also agreed to reopen an idled assembly plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, as part of $2.5 billion in product and plant investments earmarked for the United States.
In return, GM's hourly workers are forgoing cost-of-living increases that have been a way of life for Detroit's auto workers until the last decade. GM's highest-paid hourly workers are also eligible for buyouts of $10,000 or $75,000 to retire.
The union says as many as 14,000 to 17,000 GM workers are eligible to retire, clearing the way for the automaker to hire additional entry-level workers, who earn far less but will receive a hike in pay and enhanced health insurance.
Some analysts believe the deal will increase GM's overall labor costs by less than 1 percent over the life of the contract. And GM's break-even point in North America will remain essentially unchanged, people familiar with the matter have told the Wall Street Journal.
GM's labor costs could actually fall if enough veteran workers leave and the automaker hires enough lower-paid workers to replace them, analysts say.

Bipartisan support appears to be growing for suspension of big hikes in national flood insurance premiums. Unfortunately, that momentum is late: A new premium schedule went into effect Oct. 1. And because of the stalemate that led to a federal government shutdown, Congress has been unable to intervene.
As a result, purchasers of coverage will be confused and the millions of Americans in the real estate industry are rightly concerned that dramatic increases in premiums could destabilize the market.
The worries are especially intense along the coastal plain of North Carolina.
The United States must get its deficit-riddled flood-insurance program onto a fiscally sustainable, fair and affordable track. But it appears that reforms � approved last year by Congress � may make things much worse, in unexpected and unintended ways.
To avoid disrupting lives, businesses, markets and government, Congress could � and should � have suspended the flood-insurance rate hikes.
The U.S. House passed a measure to temporarily block the increases in rates. A cadre of Democrats in the Senate also sponsored legislation to delay implementation of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act until next year.
But the bill didn�t pass, and like other legislation in Congress, is in limbo. So, the first step toward delaying the premium hikes is for Congress to get back into the business of legislating.
The potential for huge increases to have expansive impacts is one reason the congressional legislation included a provision for an �affordability� study. But that study has not been completed. The lack of a study on affordability is reason enough for a delay in implementation. What�s more, apparent problems in implementation need to be examined, and if warranted, fixed.
No matter how well intended, changes in the nation�s flood-insurance program did not adequately consider the variable ways that reforms would affect property owners.
The National Flood Insurance Program � which was in the black most years until Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy pushed it deeply into red ink � needs reforms that fairly impose costs where they belong. But changes must be gradual and sensitive to economic necessity.
Those adjustments and a delay in the rate hikes can only be achieved by a Congress that is capable of moving beyond gridlock.

The Morning After is a classic and popular magazine-style theme that has withstood the test of time. Based on its great success for self-hosted sites we've enabled it here on WordPress.com.
Home Page
The Morning After sports a special home page template with featured posts, three available widget areas, and special styles for posts in the "Aside" format. To add posts as "Asides", simply denote the post as an aside from the post editor under the "Format" menu.
To make posts appear as "Featured Posts" simply mark them as sticky posts.
In the Theme Options menu, under "Homepage" you'll find settings for changing the title of the Featured and Aside areas.
Images on the Home Page
Featured Images are used on the home page (but not on single posts). The one "Latest Post" on the home page displays a featured image in a medium-sized format at 470 pixels wide.
The list of "Featured" posts on the home page use featured images as small thumbnails. You can control the thumbnail image size in Appearance → Theme Options under "Featured (Sticky) Posts Options" — the default size is 65 pixels.
The Morning After supports a custom menu and you can customize the look with a custom header and background. There's also an optional full-width page template that removes the sidebar.
Use the robust Theme Options menu to customize the theme further:
- General: RSS feed link in the menu, and show full or partial content on home and archive pages.
- Homepage: Change the titles for Featured and Asides, and adjust the featured image thumbnail size.
- Header Links: Add or remove links from the header menu. This menu is separate from your pages or custom menu, and if you leave the links blank it will not appear at all.
- Template Headings: Change the text that appears at the top of each page type (home, 404, archives, et cetara).
This theme features a "Primary" sidebar which displays on all pages except for single images and pages using the full-width template. Two other widget areas, "Secondary" and "Home Page Feature Widget", are used only on the home page. The feature widget is shown above the two home page widget areas, spanning the width of both columns.

Comments about Ten Seconds Pro Sport Insole:
The other guy is right, but if you have deep shoes like my New Balance 655 tennis shoes, then your heel won't fall out. I play tennis at a high level and go through about 1.5 pairs of insoles for every 1 pair of shoes.

Comments about Ten Seconds Pro Sport Insole:
The heel area of this insole is too thick. It lifts the foot out of the shoe and is so unstable that it hurts my ankles to run in them. I used the old ten-seconds all-sport insoles for years and they were clearly superior to the pro-sport in my opinion.

58 views and nothing? I actually spent hours on this but didn't want to make my original post too noisey.
In case anyone stumbles in here looking for something related...
In the Tutorials/How-To forum I found Ascension's Photoshop Town Tutorial and Pyrandon's A medieval town map tutorial in Photoshop.
These look good but I don't have PS ... I was hoping for GIMP help and wouldn't know where to start with PS, assuming I could get access to it. And I just don't have time to wade through the conversion - I can see other folks have puzzled through that and it just looks like it'll take more time than I can devote.
I did see Alfar's Gimp Plugin: A better lazy man's city? and played with it. It'll be useful but it'll take a lot of work to clean up and get into shape.
Of course I trawled the Town/City Mapping forum. While there's plenty of great maps there these are mostly for much bigger or smaller villages, towns and cities.
More widely I found the following, which aren't too bad in terms of style, etc. But none of them look like they'll work for this map, assuming their owner lets me use them (with modifications)...
- DarkWolfStudio's The Town of Vreba-Haj for LA FRPG
- geoff_nunn's Fenwatch
- Salama's Small Ferry Town
- Michael Morris' NWN2 toolset town map
- Aval Penworth's I want to improve this town
- Plenty of similar stuff out on the interwebs.
Anyway hopefully someone looking for something similar will find something useful in that lot.

ATLANTA - Rick Pitino has become the first college basketball coach to win national titles at two schools.
His Louisville Cardinals beat Michigan 82-76 Monday night to win the NCAA championship.
Pitino got his first title in 1996, when he coached Kentucky
Their best player was struggling and their main backup was on the bench with a broken leg.
Louisville still had more than enough to win its third national title.
Luke Hancock made four straight 3-pointers in the first half, and Peyton Siva and Chane Behanan had monster second halves to lead the top-seeded Cardinals (35-5) to their first national title since 1986 on Monday night with an 82-76 victory over Michigan.
Hancock finished with 22 points, including a perfect 5 for 5 from 3-point range. Siva had 14 of his 18 points in the second half, and Chane Behanan had 11 of his 12 rebounds in the second half. Behanan also chipped in 15 points.
As the final seconds ticked off, Hancock looked at the Louisville fans and screamed.

Thanks much to CG staff to have chosen it for another featured map!
Created in: Photoshop
Cities are notorious for being among the more difficult and time consuming of subjects to map. Yet with his most recent Yphyrion piece Max has captured the subject with admirable (and enviable) ease and grace. Max's work has always been of a professional level of quality and this is no exception. This map is must viewing for anyone wishing to create their own city map, to those wishing to improve upon their technique, or to those who simply have an admiration for fine maps.

Do it right the first time
In regards to this gas line overhaul at the Len Evans Centre for Trades and Technology at ACC. This is a $46 million trade centre — what went wrong here? Where were the inspectors and the fire commissioners office at the time when these were being installed and planned? Some planning! What a waste of taxpayer dollars. I wonder if these people are doing nothing but twiddling their thumbs.

Ladies are showing up to the RNC in sparkly Cowboy hats to support Mitt Romney! Mitt Romney is from Detroit! He grew up in Michigan! He did his mission in France! And lives in Massachusetts!
At no point does "Texan cowboy" really figure into his mythology, but, fuck it, as long as he hated Indians as a child I'm sure this holds up perfectly. He probably listen to Willie Nelson at some point. Anyhow. Let's admire the bling.

Herald Endorsement
Vote for Kate Murray for Town of Hempstead supervisor
As it has in the past, the Herald once again endorses incumbent Kate Murray for Town of Hempstead supervisor without reservation.
Murray is a popular Republican, renowned for balanced budgets and an unwavering commitment to environmental preservation. She is a conservative with a Teddy Roosevelt-like commitment to saving our natural resources — our air, water and soil.
The economic downturn of 2007 to 2009 plunged municipalities across the country into financial dire straits. Hempstead Town, though clearly affected by the national financial crisis, balanced its budgets while maintaining services. It was a high-wire act, for sure, but one that Murray was clearly up to managing.
Now the economy is slowly recovering, and the town is enjoying its status as one of Long Island's best-run municipalities. Certainly, the bond-rating agencies are impressed. The town has consistently received an AAA rating from them — the highest possible rating.
At the same time, Hempstead has aggressively sought federal and state grants to install renewable-energy sources at facilities across the town, including wind, solar and geothermal projects. The town is even now looking at tidal-action facilities that could harness the power of the Atlantic Ocean to produce electricity.
We appreciate the commitment to open government that Murray's opponent, Felix Procacci, has demonstrated. He has attended every Town Board meeting for the past three years, and he is so enthusiastic about helping to create a more transparent Hempstead that he has financed his grass-roots campaign with $22,000 of his own money.
Procacci, a Republican from Franklin Square who is running on the Democratic ticket, is correct when he says that the town should post more documents on its website and possibly videotape meetings for viewing on the Internet. He did not, however, make a convincing argument that he could do a better job of managing the town's finances than Murray, and he had little to nothing to say about the town's environmental record, only that he is unsure whether its rain barrel program is producing the water savings that town officials say it is.
Murray is the clear choice.

This article is completely incorrect. Scott Britton whitewashed all my comments. He didn't mention one thing about ethics. That was one of the major reasons I told him I was running for office. We had a lengthy conversation just on that.
I mentioned that Kate Murray is really not an environmentalist because of her mailings and her refusal to go green and use email. Also because she has a program to patrol streets for debris using 5 ton dump trucks. I also mentioned the excessive use of equipment in the Sandy cleanup, ie using 5 trucks and 8 workers, with only 2 performing any work.
I mentioned after Sandy hit, the Town patrolled the same streets night after night with dump trucks doing no work while residents suffered on the South Shore. I mentioned, in detail, all the wasteful spending, and how they said they could not contribute more money to veteran programs.

i am testing Zimbra ZCA 8.0.1 in our new server environment. I created four virtual machines from the 8.0.1.ova, and installed Directory Server, Mailstore Server, MTA and Proxy each in one machine.
Now I am missing the logger, it is not installed on any of the machines. I guess it should be on the main Mailstore Server, but it isn't. Is there a way to install it manually ? I searched the forum but only found a howto for the non-appliance version. Doesn't seem to work on the appliance...

Officials say fans should be patient.
Tickets officially go on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m., but St. Louis Cardinals season ticket holders have access to a special pre-sale now. Seats start at $30.

Much like other types of cancer, a plant-based diet may be beneficial in preventing (see here and here), slowing, and even treating breast cancer, despite flawed or deceptive studies to the contrary. Diets containing less meat may reduce the risk of breast cancer by lowering one's exposure to anabolic steroids, heterocyclic amines, saturated fat, trans fat, and industrial pollutants. Dairy contains hormones that may increase breast cancer risk directly, or indirectly by contributing to premature puberty. Melatonin suppression by meat and dairy may also play a role. Eating a single egg a day has been associated with nearly three times the odds of breast cancer. Kimchi, acrylamide in crispy carbs, multivitamins, and alcohol may also increase one's risk, and, from a breast cancer perspective, folate in beans and greens may be preferable to folic acid in pills. Vegetables in general may be protective against breast cancer. The most protective are likely cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli (see here and here), kale, cabbage, and allium family vegetables (such as garlic, onions and leeks). Also potentially protective are amla (against both cancer cell growth and invasion here), mushrooms (stuffing mushrooms are best), and avocadoes (though there is natural toxin in avocadoes that may be a problem). Among fruits, organic strawberries appear to preferably block cancer cell growth and, like other berries, may block breast-cell DNA damage. Apples also appear to reduce breast cancer risk. Soy foods have the distinction of both helping prevent breast cancer (in part by supporting normal pubertal development) and improving survival, even for women on Tamoxifen. To further decrease risk of breast cancer, look to daily tea consumption (including a few herbal varieties), coffee, flax seeds (which also may improve survival—see here and here), black beans, the correct level of vitamin D, the spice turmeric, and an hour of exercise daily. Avoid certain ayurvedic medicines due to lead and other contaminants. Dr. Greger covers breast cancer in his full-length presentation, Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death, where he explores the role diet may play in preventing, treating, and even reversing our top 15 killers.

Very cool map, have some reputation for posting it.
I would suggest uploading the image through the forum however. Then you get a nice thumbnail and people can click on it to see the bigger version (without messing up the layout).
The title says it all.
After a series of catastrophes in the 21st century civilization broke down. It has recovered to a late medieval level now. North America (or Noramerika) is dominated by the Empyre of Texarado. The states in the northwest and northeast are some sort of barbarians as they reject the Church of Redemptive Unity. The wastelands are full of mutants and old machines.
The United Kingdom of Grankolomba is the major great power of Southamerika (or Amerasud as the natives call it).
Me thinks it would rather good fit for a future RPG setting.
I made the map with Photoshop, using a blank map of North America I trace with Inkscape. The flags are all made with Inkscape.

Servus to Salzburg and compliments on the map. I like what you did with the place names, changing them slightly. Did you use any rules for that (similar to the German "Lautverschiebung)?
Grüße nach Wien! And thank you for the compliments!
I thought that languages have in general the tendency to became simpler than more complicated over long periodes. In general the written words are now more similar to the spoken word, e.g. the k replaces in most cases the c if it is spoken as 'k'. Also, in this world, many names have shortened like 'Noramerika' or 'Sanvaldor' instead of San Salvador.
Well, you are right in that we seem to see an ever simplifying language - but there's also countertendencies time and again. Or as one of my linguistics professors used to say, "The Romans didn't step out of the cave with 6 grammatic cases."
There could be a trend, after dark ages of apocalpyse, be an emerging medieval culture that develops more advanced language skills, perhaps creating an elaborate manner of speaking as "modern" and to differentiate themselves from the "barbarians" who speak without rules. Though there'd probably be a high language conforming to all (new?) rules and customs and a low language of the street. Language has always also been a way to show your class or sophistications.
I was able to upload your map, which is quite nice by-the-way, as an attachment.

Ack, my town got wiped off the map in this world. Good thing too since none of us would live in Texarado. Since Memphis is gone as well I guess we'd all move to Shekago and torment Cubs fans. Nice map, though. Looks nice and clean.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - President Barack Obama is using the first official rally of his re-election bid to brand GOP rival Mitt Romney a willing rubber-stamp for failed policies championed by extreme House Republicans.
Obama told an enthusiastic crowd at Ohio State in Columbus that America's had a tough time rebounding from a deep recession. But he said it's come too far to turn back now.
The noisy rally at a campus basketball arena was the first of two on Saturday for the Democratic incumbent.
Later, he's speaking at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Both Ohio and Virginia are seen as critical to the election outcome.
Obama has raised cash and given campaign-like speeches for months, but Saturday's rallies are the first events formally organized by his campaign apparatus.
At Ohio State, Obama said Romney seems to think if wealthy Americans like him or big corporations get richer, the country will prosper. But Obama says bigger profits haven't led to better jobs, and Romney "doesn't seem to get that."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GmaCake Very Nice Blend This is a very nice, well balanced blend of oregano, basil, marjoram, sage and garlic that goes well not only in Italian cooking, but also on roasts, chicken, soups, stews and many other foods. Great flavor and aroma. It looks more brown in the photo (rather than green) than any I've ever bought and I use this regularly. May 7, 2014

Tottenham v Villa team news: Villa unchanged for Spurs clash
Paul Lambert has named an unchanged team for this afternoon's clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Villa manager has kept faith with the starting XI that earned a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion last weekend.
It means Gabby Agbonlahor and Christian Benteke will lead the claret and blues attack at White Hart Lane, while Marc Albrighton starts at the ground where he scored his first Barclays Premier League goal.
France skipper Hugo Lloris gets the nod in goal for Tottenham ahead of former Villa keeper Brad Friedel.
It means the veteran American's run of 310 consecutive top-flight games comes to an end against the club he served between 2008 and 2011.
Ex-Villa loanee Kyle Walker lines up in the Spurs back four but the match-winner from last season's fixture between these two sides, Emmanuel Adebayor, has to settle for a place on the home bench.
TOTTENHAM: Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Gallas, Caulker, Dempsey, Lennon, Bale, Dembele, Sandro, Defoe. Subs: Huddlestone, Adebayor, Dawson, Sigurdsson, Friedel, Falque, Townsend.
VILLA: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar (c), Clark, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke. Subs: Given, Westwood, Bannan, N'Zogbia, Bent, Weimann, Lichaj.

Tarpon Springs, Florida (WTSP) -- A Bay area man is facing several charges after authorities say he ran naked around a golf course and sideswiped a deputy's car during a police chase.
Pasco deputies say a man matching 30-year-old Abraham Andres Luna's description was spotted Monday evening wearing only construction boots near the Tarpon Springs Golf Course. Tarpon Springs Police responded, but did not find the suspect.
Several hours later, police in Tarpon Springs tried stopping a white van driving at a high rate of speed on US 19. The pursuit was called off after the vehicle entered Pasco County.
Deputies say the van, driven by a still-naked Luna, stopped at a 7-Eleven located at U.S. 19 and Flora in Holiday shortly before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. Luna then allegedly assaulted a clerk inside the store.
Afterwards the suspect got into his van and drove the wrong way on the southbound lanes of U.S. 19. Authorities began pursuing the van, as other deputies blocked roads to prevent any accidents to commuters.
One patrol car was sideswiped during the pursuit. Deputies were eventually able to stop the van near U.S. 19 and Moog Road.
Deputies say Luna, still naked, fled the vehicle, but was apprehended a short time later. No deputies, including the deputy in the sideswiped patrol car, were injured during the pursuit.
Luna is charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, aggravating fleeing to elude driving while license revoked, resisting without violence, and violation of probation.
Investigators are unsure at this point why Luna was not wearing any clothes.

Joe started playing at the age of 14. He regularly cites the death of Jimi Hendrix as his main motivation to learn the instrument. Early in his career he was a music teacher, spreading his wisdom on a number of famous musicians including Steve Vai (Frank Zappa), Larry LaLonde (Primus), and Kirk Hammett (Metallica). He is also the founding and only permanent member of the G3 concert series, which hosted a touring schedule of three guitarists' work. Satriani's most famous album, The Extremist, was released in 1992 and featured the hit title "Summer Song" which was used in a number of commercials. He is also well known for his appearance on the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, where he and his fellow Chickenfoot band mates voiced characters for the program.
Joe Satriani is currently on tour with his newest album, Unstoppable Momentum, which was released in May or 2013.
