Google to Provide CornellNYC Tech with Free Office Space for More Than 5 Years
Google Inc. CEO Larry Page announced today that Google will allocate 22,000 square feet of its New York headquarters to CornellNYC Tech, while the university completes its campus on Roosevelt Island. He was joined by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Cornell President David Skorton and Technion's Director Craig Gotsman at a press conference this morning at Google New York. The space will allow Cornell to build its presence in New York in close proximity to the tech companies and entrepreneurs with whom it will collaborate. This arrangement represents Google, Cornell, Technion and the City of New York's commitment to educating and developing tech talent in New York City.
Google will initially provide Cornell with 22,000 square feet of office space on July 1, 2012, free of charge for 5 years and 6 months or until the completion of Cornell's campus on Roosevelt Island--whichever occurs first. Additionally, Cornell will be able to expand to 58,000 square feet over five years as it builds its presence in New York City.
"I'm passionate about breaking ground in science and engineering because technology has driven many of the advances humankind has made," said Google CEO Larry Page. "But we still don't have enough people working in these areas. It's why I am tremendously pleased that Google is giving Cornell the office space to get their new engineering university up and running in New York City."
"We're about to find out what happens when you marry one of the world's most innovative companies with one of the most innovative economic development strategies any city has undertaken," said Mayor Bloomberg. "When we first envisioned the Applied Sciences initiative, we hoped the winning school would establish strong relationships with the tech sector. But this kind of synergy is beyond anything we could have imagined. CornellNYC Tech is well on its way to being fully integrated into New York City's vibrant tech industry, and Google's support is another huge vote of confidence for that industry. Just a few years ago, our tech sector was barely on anyone's radar screen -- now, it's creating jobs and becoming a major player in our diversified economy."
"We are proud to be launching CornellNYC Tech in what is becoming the center of the tech world," said Cornell President David J. Skorton. "The one missing ingredient has been a pipeline of top-level tech talent, and that is what the tech campus will provide. Building on Mayor Bloomberg's vision, we are creating a new academic model for this time, this place and this industry. The key is engagement between world class academics, companies and early-stage investors to catalyze innovation. That's what we'll be creating on Roosevelt Island, and thanks to Google it's what will be happening here starting this fall."
"We are delighted to launch our exciting programs with Cornell University in the Google building. This space provides the optimal environment for the education and nurturing of technical talent. This is a major step towards the fulfillment of Mayor Bloomberg's vision to seed the city with entrepreneurs and start-ups. We at Technion are confident that our academic partnership with Cornell University will help build the city's tech ecosystem and boost this sector of the economy," said Technion President Peretz Lavie.

I thank you for showing front and back. This is obviously a "two sided" piece, which makes a double-whammy impact for selling / showcasing your skills and inherent talent. Enjoy your use of "aging" ( using aged) weave wire, giving that added dimension. This piece is nice enough in the wire work that you don't actually "need" a stone - it's a lovely, added "bonus!" Hope to one day get to your level of wire work. PEACE....

As Cumbria faced destructive floods at the end of last year, history seemed to be repeating. Disasters are ten-a-penny, some natural, many more due to man's ham-fisted neglect of the planet or our inability to get by without recourse to violence.
The result is always the need for a new start, and how we respond and rebuild colours an uncertain future more than ever. Yet, for all the carnage and chaos that catastrophes bring, an odd truth is apparent: disasters do give us the chance to shape things differently.
In Cumbria, building repairs are already under way, although Carlisle City Council wants to demolish its flood-damaged home – the 1964 Civic Centre, one of the city's best modern buildings. The council wants to replace it with a drab retail park – but shoppers might need a dinghy to sail their box-fresh trainers home because it will still be on a flood plain.
Meanwhile, the question remains: what can be done in the long-term to break the cycle? Houses on stilts? Stop building on land that floods and let nature take back what is rightfully its own?
With some prescience, architectural, responses to calamity are the subject of a new exhibition at the Royal Institution of British Architects later this month.
Creation From Catastrophe uses photographs, paintings, collages, drawings, maps and models to demonstrate how grand plans emerged from the ashes, from Christopher Wren's brazen scheme to give London an ordered and precise layout after the Great Fire of 1666, with St Paul's Cathedral at its heart, to the sprouting of America's first vertical forest of skyscrapers in Chicago after the apocalyptic fire of 1871, or how modern-day Chile and Nepal have rebuilt after devastating earthquakes.
"Most of us are seduced by the idea of being given another chance; to start afresh. Many architects are inevitably drawn to the idea of the tabula rasa – the opportunity to realise a perfect, authored vision unhindered by incremental layers of history, social relations and previous architects' ambitions," says Creation From Catastrophe curator Jes Fernie.
Indeed, one of the great architectural movements of recent history emanated from the devastation of the Second World War; it lit the touchpaper of the Modernist project to build bold new housing estates and expressive city centres across Europe, even if the "blank slate" wasn't always as "blank" as all that: one of the great myths surrounding Birmingham's gorging itself at a post-war buffet of ring roads, shopping malls and skyscrapers was that the Luftwaffe had left nothing.
In fact, planners used the medium-scale bomb damage as an excuse to bulldoze great swathes of Brum and create a new city for the future. By contrast, neighbouring Coventry really was wiped off the map, and its rebuilding resulted in one of Britain's most attractive Modernist towns.
Britain was also a destroyer: our bombers hit Cologne and Dresden without mercy. As with Nazi-destroyed Warsaw, the old towns of these historic cities were painstakingly reconstructed, while new districts were added. Meanwhile, in places like Plymouth, Rotterdam and Le Havre, architects took the opportunity to act radically – transforming street plans and erecting daring buildings.
"The combination of urgent need and 'never-again' ambitions meant saw the postwar era create some of the most forward looking architecture in history," says architectural writer Douglas Murphy, whose new book Last Futures: Nature, Technology, and the End of Architecture explores the quirks of the Modernist project in the 1960s.
Later, Modernism was seen as the solution in the face of natural disasters. In Skopje, for example, a devastating earthquake in 1963 resulted in an almost wilfully eccentric masterplan for rebuilding the Macedonian capital by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange.
He tried to build the most futuristic city in the world – complete with walkways, platforms, capsule flats and towers – and almost managed it. In the end, only portions of his plan were acted upon but today Skopje still boasts numerous maverick buildings such as the avant garde Post Office and the chunky National Bank of Macedonia.
If architectural bravado used to be considered the best response to ruin, approaches have become more nuanced and more pragmatic in recent years. "Since the collapse of Modernism, it has moved to a more socially engaged approach that involves working closely with local people after a disaster; building on their skills and knowledge," says Fernie, who sees a "distinct power shift" from the architect to the citizens.
A great recent example of this softer attitude is Shigeru Ban's Cardboard Cathedral, which popped up in Christchurch, New Zealand, after the earthquake of 2011 that devastated the 19th century original.
"Cardboard instead of concrete" is the motto of Ban's studio, which specifically works on disaster relief projects; quick to erect, the replacement cathedral is now one of the city's most robust, quake-proof buildings. "The strength of the building has nothing to do with the strength of the material," Ban has said. And while it is only a temporary solution, it has already become unique symbol.

In an increasingly imperilled world, it's clear that architects must engage with disaster more than ever, but this aspect of their role is not given its due weight, says Dr Esther Charlesworth, an expert in the newly defined practice of "humanitarian architecture" or socially conscious design.
"How to design for a fragile and vulnerable planet should be our primary mission as architectural educators and practitioners. Where were the architects in the recent Paris climate talks? Where is the Pritzker Prize for humanitarian architecture?"
Some architects are beginning to set their sights far ahead to consider how disaster might affect the world in centuries to come. Take the firm NLE, who have designed a range of seaborne public buildings for Nigerian delta communities, such as the Makoko Floating School which bobs on a Lagos lagoon like a giant houseboat. This Waterworld aesthetic could become de rigeur if sea levels rise.
It's a point not lost on Henk Ovink, the Dutch government's special envoy for water affairs.
Living in a country that has battled the sea for centuries, Ovink knows how crucial it is that we think ahead: "Water crises are the number one risk in the world. Two billion people will be devastated by 2050, four billion by 2080 – if we continue with our current practices. Of all worldwide disasters 90 per cent is water-related.
Global urbanisation gives us growth, prosperity, emancipation and development opportunities – but climate change and sea-level rise put a lot of pressure on our cities, societies and citizens, on our economy and ecology. If we don't act, the system will collapse."
From Carlisle to Callantsoog in the Netherlands, from Cotonou in Africa to Chittagong in Asia, today's architects are testing fold-out shelters and flatpack bridges that can respond quickly to flooding, and houses on stilts or floats that will rise above a deluge.
Above all, open discussion within local communities is key, as Fernie says, pointing to Chilean firm Elemental's project to rebuild the city of Constitucion after a 2010 tsunami.
"It's a great example of what can be achieved in a short space of time," says Fernie. "Local people were brought in to a discussion about whether a section of their city should be expropriated and turned into a forest to ease the effects of future floods. It was a long-term, bold decision that entailed rehousing and uprooting one group of residents for the greater good."
But the question lingers: do we do enough? Disasters lead us down new architectural avenues; the tragedy is that these are only clear after the event.
As Douglas Murphy says: "Like the proverbial frog in a pot, urban change may have been urgently necessary for a long time, but often the cataclysmic disaster has to occur before the political ambition to affect it properly aligns ... considering the developing crises of the 21st century, this is a sobering thought."

Businesses abandoning social media
Relevant offers
New Zealand businesses are less likely to engage in social media than they were a year ago.
That is according to a surprise finding by accounting software firm MYOB, which regularly surveys small and medium-sized enterprises on business trends.
MYOB said only a fifth of the 1000 firms it surveyed now reported using social media - such as Facebook and Twitter - down from almost a quarter in August last year.
It concluded that firms were struggling to find the time for the latest online tools.
Fewer businesses than a year ago had a social media presence, used search engines to advertise their businesses or maintained a blog, it said.
In contrast, MYOB said businesses were more likely to now be using the internet for transactional purposes, such as buying from suppliers.
New Zealand general manager Julian Smith said businesses had got good results from employing social media as part of their "marketing mix", but appeared to be struggling to maintain an active social media presence in the long term.
"[They] don't have the time or the resources to manage a wide variety of online marketing tools."
Multinationals Oracle, Salesforce and Microsoft together spent US$2.25 billion in a spate of acquisitions in June buying social media businesses Vitrue, Buddy Media and Yammer.
Tim Howell, marketing manager at 350-person Wellington information technology firm Intergen, said businesses using social media for external marketing needed to think through their strategy.
"A tweet here or a Facebook post there isn't going to create any sustainable presence to engage customers, which is what it is all about.
"It requires a consistent effort, a degree of responsiveness and willingness to be open. That fits with the culture of many organisations, but some it doesn't. If you don't plan and resource for that you probably won't achieve the results you are looking for."
However, businesses were increasingly using "enterprise micro-blogging tool" Yammer to gather and share information within their companies, he said. "We have been using it internally since 2008 and it is a great short "bursty" way of sharing information with colleagues without going 'all-out' and doing a blog post."
Use internet search engines such as Google to promote their business: 28% (down -15.2%)
Conduct email marketing to potential or existing customers: 28% (up 12.0%)
Use any form of social media for business purposes: 20% (down -16.7%)
Network with business colleagues and/or clients on LinkedIn: 17% (not measured in 2011)
Connect with customers and fans via a business page on Facebook or Google+: 16% (not measured in 2011)

Paypal enters into agreement to buy money transfer service Xoom
Digital money transfer providers PayPal and Xoom have announced a definitive agreement under which PayPal will acquire Xoom for $25 per share in cash or an approximate $890 million enterprise value. The transaction represents a premium of 32 percent over Xoom's three-month volume-weighted average price and was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, as well as the Board of eBay, PayPal's parent company (for the time being).
Motorola working on tablet with possible customization, reveals CEO
Motorola could be releasing a tablet in the future, according to comments made by its CEO. The Google-owned smartphone manufacturer is said to be working on such a device, and considering its current factory system and personalization options for the Moto X, it could end up being a customizable device constructed in the United States.
Motorola Xoom confirmed to get Android 4.1
Some US owners of the Motorola Xoom tablet will indeed receive an upgrade to the newest version of Android some time in the future. Android Police has leaked screens showing that Motorola was preparing to begin private testing of the software on its tablet, though those tests appear to have been delayed. There is, as yet, no date certain on when the testing will resume or when Android 4.1 will roll out for the device.
Moto Xoom doesn't violate iPad design, German court rules
A German court has ruled that the Motorola Xoom tablet doesn't infringe on three Apple design concepts for the iPad, according to Dow Jones. Had the court ruled in Apple's favor, the Xoom could potentially have been banned across Europe. The court has also, however, rejected a counterclaim by Motorola alleging that the iPad's design patent is invalid. As a result, Apple has been ordered to pay two-thirds of the costs of legal proceedings, and Motorola a third.
Apple's attempt to ban sales of Xoom tablet likely to fail
Preliminary reports out of Germany see Apple being unsuccessful in its attempt to ban sales of Motorola's Xoom tablet in Germany. A final ruling is due to be delivered on July 17.
Verizon brings Android 4.0 to Motorola Xoom
The Motorola Xoom tablet sold at Verizon stores will begin receiving the update to the Android 4.0 operating system on Monday, June 4, the carrier revealed. In doing so, it will become the first Verizon tablet to get the latest OS, which brings a number of native changes and new features to the 10.1-inch tablet. Those who view a lot of photos on the device should be happy to hear a photo editor is part of the update, letting them crop and rotate photos, remove red eyes, adjust levels, and add effects.
Android engineer: five months a 'reasonable' time for update
Google's Android Open Source Project (AOSP) engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru drew flak late Thursday after comments that many have interpreted as giving a pass on slow Android upgrade intervals. He saw Sony's Android 4.0 upgrades having rolled out in a "very reasonable time," five months after 4.0 was available, given the nature of the OS. Sony had even had a head start, since its AOSP code contributions gave it an idea of what to expect for its own upgrades, he said.
Verizon roadmap for Android 4.0 leaks, targets May
A telling leak has uncovered at least tentative dates for Verizon's long-in-waiting Android 4.0 updates. The HTC Rezound would go first, according to an anonymous Reddit user, with a test theoretically active now and wrapping up May 7. Customers would start getting the update over the air two days later, on May 9.
comScore: Amazon Kindle Fire is 54.4% of US Android tablets
Amazon's Kindle Fire now makes up the absolute majority of the Android tablet platform in the US, comScore found in a fresh study. The e-reader and tablet crossover represented 54.4 percent of all Android tablets sold in the country. At second place, the entire Samsung Galaxy Tab lineup comprised just 15.4 percent of Android slates.
Google had wanted Android tablets to get 33% share in 2011
The tail end of Google mobile VP Andy Rubin's testimony on Android's revenue potential has revealed that the company made broad presumptions about how well Android tablets would fare in the market place. The projections seen by The Verge had Android tablets claiming 10 million shipments out of an estimated 30 million in 2011, or 33 percent share. It had thought that its share would go down in 2012, to 22 percent, but mostly as the market would be getting larger while Android sales stayed flat.

French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu

Bynum shows growth as player
SAN ANTONIO – Dwight Howard's career-high game in rebounds is 26.
Shaquille O'Neal's was 28.
Andrew Bynum got 30 rebounds Wednesday night in the Lakers' victory Wednesday.
Even though any coach would take consistent domination over one breakout game, it was the latest example of Bynum's growth as a player. And the performance helped the Lakers play just the sort of game they planned to without injured Kobe Bryant to lead the offense.
"One of the things we talked about doing coming into the game was trying to control the tempo because we know San Antonio likes to push the pace and they're very good at scoring a lot of points," Lakers coach Mike Brown said.
"One of the ways we could control the tempo was by trying to rebound. And Drew took it upon himself with 30 rebounds. It's amazing with 30 total rebounds, and the eight offensive rebounds were great because these guys don't give up offensive rebounds. Getting that from one player was phenomenal."
Bynum wasn't satisfied, citing his 7-of-20 shooting from the field to go with 2-for-4 free-throw shooting.
Immediately after the game on the court in an interview with KCAL/9 reporter Mike Trudell, Bynum was asked about getting the 30 rebounds — and Bynum brought up: "I shot like (expletive)," with the profanity making it on air despite the delay to prevent exactly such an occurrence.
The Lakers won with Kobe Bryant getting to heal his inflamed left shin, but Ramon Sessions took a blow to his sprained left shoulder that left him in obvious pain and Brown subbing him out immediately.
Sessions left with 3:05 to play in the third quarter but did return for the final 6:30 of the game.
Tickets for Lakers first-round home playoff games go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
Tickets will be available for sale at Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, 1-800-4-NBA-TIX or 1-800-745-3000. There will be a limit of four tickets per person per game. Tickets will not be on sale at the Staples Center box office.

US lawmakers and local residents clamored on Sunday for BP and the Obama administration to do more to save the Gulf Coast from an out-of-control oil spill that has become the biggest environmental catastrophe in the country's history.
Lawmakers from US President Barack Obama's own Democratic Party called the nearly six-week oil gush in the Gulf of Mexico an "environmental crime" and demanded $1 billion from BP to protect the region's treasured marshlands.
The failure on Saturday of a "top kill" technique attempted by London-based BP to try to seal its leaking Gulf well has unleashed a surge of anger that poses a major domestic challenge to Obama and his party in an election year.
"This is probably the biggest environmental disaster we have ever faced in this country," White House adviser Carol Browner told NBC's "Meet the Press."
The Gulf spill has surpassed the Exxon Valdez disaster off Alaska in 1989 as the worst US oil spill, with an estimated 12,000 to 19,000 barrels (1.9 million to 3 million liters) leaking per day.
Given the enormity of the disaster, critics say Obama was too slow to respond.
"I hold Obama responsible for not making BP stand up and look at the people in the face and fix it," said Dean Blanchard, owner of a seafood business, who spoke at a protest rally in New Orleans on Sunday.
"It's not right what is going on, I didn't do nothing wrong, I didn't deserve this," he told the hundreds of protesters, some of whom carried signs, such as "Seize BP."
BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward, the target of ire over his company's failures to stop the spill and protect vital wetlands, apologized to Gulf Coast residents.
"The first thing is to say we're sorry, we're sorry for the massive disruption it's caused their lives, there's no one who wants this thing over more than I do," Hayward said as he visited the fishing hub of Venice on Sunday.
Hayward had predicted that despite risks, the top kill had a 60 to 70 percent chance of success. He said he did not know why it failed to stop the gusher.
The next BP step would involve undersea robots using diamond-rimmed saws to cut off a pipe over the well to put in place a containment device that would try to siphon off most of the leaking oil and gas up to a tanker ship on the surface.
It has never been attempted at the depth of the BP well, 1.6km under water.
Even Hayward conceded on Sunday that "there's no doubt that the ultimate solution is the relief well, which is in August."
The possibility of another two months to a definitive solution could spell more financial trouble for BP, whose market value has dropped by 25 percent since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers, and triggering the spill.
Obama, who has called the spill a "man-made disaster," has relied on BP and its deep-sea technology to try to stop the leak, although he has made clear the government is in charge.
Critics argue, however, that he has not directed enough resources to the unfolding disaster and he has not been present enough.
The White House said on Sunday that the government will triple clean-up resources in areas affected by the spill, while the administration's top energy and environment officials head back to the Gulf this week following Obama's second visit on Friday.
BP and the entire US oil industry face more probing questions about why safety backups did not accompany their pursuit of oil in ever deeper offshore waters.
"I think without question if the word criminal should be used in terms of an environmental crime against our country, that what's going on in the Gulf of Mexico is going to qualify," US Democratic Representative Ed Markey told CBS' "Face the Nation."
Department of Justice officials are part of an ongoing federal investigation into the rig explosion and the Obama administration has not ruled out the possibility of a criminal prosecution.
In Louisiana, which has borne the brunt of the oil spill impact so far, authorities demanded that BP and the federal government rush a plan to create a sand barrier to the oil by dredging and building up outlying sandbanks and islets.
"I'm devastated ... We are dying a slow death, every time that oil takes out a piece of the marsh, a piece of Louisiana is gone forever," said Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, told CNN.
Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu called on BP to immediately invest $1 ($NZ1.47) billion to protect marshes, wetlands and estuaries across the region. "While we may not be able to plug the leaking well right away, there is nothing that should stop us from getting help to the Gulf Coast immediately," she said.
Gulf residents fear the oil slick could be whipped further inshore by what forecasters predict will be the most active Atlantic storm season since 2005, the year of Hurricane Katrina.
That deadly storm proved a political disaster for President George W. Bush, who was accused of complacency in handling it, and Obama is fighting to prevent the Gulf spill from becoming his own "Katrina" ahead of the November congressional elections.
At the New Orleans protest, Jennifer Jones said Louisianians still recovering from Katrina's devastation are frustrated by the response thus far.
"We need the help again, continuing from Katrina, this is like Part Two," Jones said.

Pressure? Bucks go for clincher vs. Hawks
The Bucks have played the underdog role to the hilt in their first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks.
But does the pressure shift to the Bucks since they have a chance to close out the series Friday night in Game 6 at the Bradley Center?
"We talked to our guys about it, and you never know how much is sinking in, that this isn't really pressure," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "A lot of people in our country have legitimate pressure on them right now. This is a basketball game.
"If you get into that and it causes you to be uptight, you're making a mistake. It's very difficult in this league to beat anybody four straight times. It's very difficult to do it three, and to do it four is a really tough challenge."
The sixth-seeded Bucks have battled back from an 0-2 deficit in the series by winning three straight, including a 91-87 victory in Atlanta on Wednesday night. Now they have a chance to score the franchise's first playoff series victory since 2001, when it beat Orlando and Charlotte to reach the conference finals.
Atlanta is smarting after blowing a nine-point lead in the final 4 minutes of Game 5 as the Bucks went on a game-changing 14-0 run. But the Hawks know if they can escape from Milwaukee with a victory, Game 7 would be on their home court Sunday.
The Bucks have played well at home throughout the season, posting a 30-13 record at the Bradley Center, including two playoff victories. Game 6 was sold out early Thursday after the Bucks' dramatic victory the previous night on the road.
"It's always big to win on the road," Jennings said. "It gives a lot of confidence for the guys for Friday's game, but we've got to stay level-headed and we've got to stay calm."
One day after Jennings finished third in the league rookie of the year vote, it was announced Friday that the 6-foot-1 guard was one of three unanimous choices to the NBA all-rookie team.
Jennings, rookie of the year Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings and point guard Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors all received 29 votes as unanimous selections to the all-rookie first team. The other players selected were point guard Darren Collison of the New Orleans Hornets and forward Taj Gibson of the Chicago Bulls.
The all-rookie second team was composed of New Orleans guard Marcus Thornton, San Antonio forward DeJuan Blair, Oklahoma City guard James Harden, Minnesota guard Jonny Flynn and Detroit forward Jonas Jerekbo.
The voting panel was comprised of the 30 league coaches, who were not allowed to vote for members of their own team.
Long time: One interesting note on Game 6s involving the Bucks. Milwaukee is 7-6 all-time in Game 6 playoff contests and has not been up, 3-2, in a best-of-seven series since the 1986 Eastern Conference semifinals when they beat Philadelphia, 4-3.

Lands' End names new chief marketing officer
Lands' End Inc. on Tuesday said it has promoted a longtime executive to chief marketing officer, quickly filling a post left vacant a month ago.
Named to the position, and to an executive vice president slot, is Becky Gebhardt, formerly chief creative officer with the Dodgeville-based retailer. Gebhardt has been with Lands' End since 1991.
In her new role — a critical one for any retailer — Gebhardt succeeds Steven Rado, whose resignation was disclosed last month in a filing with securities regulators. No reason was given for Rado's departure. Lands' End said in the filing that it planned to search externally for a replacement.
The firm also said Tuesday that it has hired Mike Zhang as vice president for e-commerce, digital marketing and innovation, and promoted Mike Holahan to senior vice president for multichannel marketing. Both men will report to Gebhardt.

Stop picking on Nipomo
By Bob Blair - Nipomo Community Services District director, rural Arroyo Grande
The recent article by Rhys Heyden, "A basin situation" (July 24), allows a group of people from various local cities and water districts to bash Nipomo as being the cause of their drought problems. Oceano's president is concerned about Nipomo. How about cleaning up your own house first? Then Grover Beach's mayor puts in her 2 cents' worth. Her streets are past Third World status, and they spent all their road money on palm trees for Grand Avenue and the tourists. Pismo's public works director does not like the fact that Nipomo is only getting 600 acre-feet instead of 2,500 acre-feet of water.
What no one is talking about is the 3,000 acre-feet of water that the South County Sanitary District has been flushing into the Pacific Ocean for years. The Mesa's oil refinery uses and blows 400-plus acre-feet of well water into the Pacific yearly, too. The refinery wants to extend its rail capacity to process more oil. They have an unused pipeline from the 5 Cities area to the Nipomo Mesa where this wasted water could be used to recharge the basin. If this was a condition of approval of their rail plan, I believe they would fund the whole deal. However, the county does not want a simple solution, they want control over your personal property rights as quoted by Supervisor Caren Ray.
An election is coming. Be very careful who and what you are voting for.

She is not young and she knows exactly what her boy wants and is ready to give it to him in exchange for hard pussy pounding by a young, throbbing cock of her son! Son�s love for his mother goes deep, a lot deeper that you�d normally think!
