Text: Lance McKinney
Kyla Audio: "Thank you, Lance, for joining us. Let's talk a little bit about – you were in the military, so what was that transition from being in the military to now the civilian world? What's that been like for you?"
Image: Lance McKinney speaks on-camera.
Lance Audio: "It's been kind of a tough transition. Originally I did a deploy – I was Army, I was with the National Guard here in Arizona and I did a deployment in Afghanistan as infantry. And prior to me being infantry, I was a flight medic on the border mission. And so I kind of was multi-purpose over in Afghanistan. And when I got back, it was real hard to transition into the civilian aspect and try to find a good job. I was married with three kids and trying to find somewhere where I can support. And through a friend that I knew through the fire academy, I was able to get this job with Banner here at Banner Estrella. And ever since then, they have been phenomenal. They have treated me outstanding, they've always been flexible between my work schedule and school or, if I had a second job, they were always flexible."

Kyla Audio: "And so, Lance, what has it meant to you to start your journey here at Banner?"
Image: Lance McKinney speaks on-camera.
Lance Audio: "It's meant a lot to me the way that this organization has treated me and treated my family has just been phenomenal—very supportive. Whenever there was a family tragedy going on, they bent over backwards to accommodate my situation and my family's situation. And it's nice to work for an organization like this."

Lance McKinney
Kyla Audio: "And what would you tell somebody just looking to start their journey – regardless of their position, what would you tell them about Banner Health?"
Image: Lance McKinney speaks on-camera.
Lance Audio: "Banner is an amazing organization. They really treat their employees phenomenal with dignity and respect. No matter if you are a housekeeper or if you are a doctor, everyone treats you the same way. There's that same respect level. And be prepared to work because a lot of these facilities, they're real busy and it's just nice to have a good fast-paced environment and Banner is just amazing."
Image: Kyla Hill speaks on-camera.
Kyla Audio: "Well, thank you so much for joining us today and thank you for your military dedication. And Lance's story is a great example of an employee wanting to start their journey in health care here at Banner Health. Thanks for joining us. I'm Kyla Hill for Journey Spotlight."

Arizona Immigration Law Is Making Life So Awkward for the GOP
Some leaders are forced into a defensive, no-win tightrope walk.
Arizona's new law on questioning and detaining suspected illegal immigrants may have buoyed the political fortunes of the state's governor, Jan Brewer, but it's making things really awkward for some prominent figures in the party. On the one hand, it's very popular with the conservative grassroots, the people who vote in primaries, make donations, and misspell protest signs. So you definitely don't want to piss off those people. On the other side, you have Hispanics, a rapidly growing demographic, one that isn't rigidly aligned with either party Bush won 44 percent in 2004, Obama gained back some ground in 2008 with a 67 percent share but has the potential to push southwestern and mountain states from swing-state category into true-blue if it does start to turn completely away from the GOP. If you care about the future of the Republican Party in the western half of the United States, you don't want to piss them off, either.
It may already be too late, actually as Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos noted earlier this week:
Arizona Latinos have gone, literally overnight, from being perhaps the most pro-GOP in the nation, to joining California as the most anti-GOP ones in the nation ...
Within a decade, Arizona will be as reliably Democratic as California is today. And when that day arrives, we'll be able to trace it all to last Friday's passage of SB 1070.
With people like California congressman Duncan Hunter suggesting the deportation of American-born children of illegal immigrants, it seems like things are only going to get worse for the GOP as the debate heats up. But some national leaders aren't ready to give up on the Hispanic vote just yet, nor are they willing to invite the ire of their base. The result is an ungainly tightrope walk that tries to avoid alienating either group. Exhibit A: House Minority Whip Eric Cantor's refusal to say whether he supports the Arizona law during an interview with ABC News yesterday:
Best line: "Now, are you asking whether I think that America is a country of opportunity? Absolutely!" No! We're asking, very specifically, if you support this law.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was similarly evasive on Fox News Sunday a few days ago:
"I haven't studied it. I know it's quite controversial. But studying a state law is not something I normally do."
And Mike Huckabee, a potential presidential candidate, found himself in a similar predicament in a Q&A with the Dallas Morning News:
Do you agree with the recently passed law in Arizona that empowers law enforcement officials to check whether a person being stopped or detained is a U.S. citizen? It's not my place to agree or disagree. I understand why it was passed and why 70 percent of the people of Arizona support it. They're angry, they're frustrated, and they're scared. There are a half-million illegals who have poured into their state. ... They feel under siege, and I understand that. What does concerns me is that if it's not carried out and applied carefully, you could end up in the situation where people are indiscriminately stopped who are absolute citizens. ... America is a lot like Disney World in that once you get a ticket, you're in. You don't have to keep showing your ticket to keep riding the rides. That's the whole point of liberty.
Huckabee's strategy sympathy for supporters of the law, concerns about "abuse" is probably the least destructive one that Republicans can hope for at this point. But taking the mushy middle ground isn't going to prevent Hispanic voters from abandoning the GOP. Reason No. 1 that some Democratic leaders want to make immigration reform a priority this year.

The secret to a loyal customer base is no secret at all: Great customer service will bring them back every time. Here's what you need to know according to a survey in Time Magazine Business Section.
Whether it's a bored demeanor, a dismissive look or just plain rude behavior, sloppy customer service spells disaster faster than just about any other business transgression. People complain about bad customer service with the same level of vitriol usually reserved for taxes and presidential elections.
But bad customer service is no joke. According to Micah Solomon, customer service consultant and author of "High-Tech, High-Touch Customer Service," it can kill your reputation and devastate your bottom line. But here's the thing: It can also spell opportunity for savvy business owners looking for a way to differentiate themselves from the competition.
A Quality Product or Service
Do you want to buy or be served junk? No, you don't, so why do that to the customers who provide your livelihood? The best way to reduce customer complaints is to provide high-quality products and services.
Stellar Service
No one will care how good your products are if you do a poor job delivering them. Customers appreciate care and attention, and they tend to resent it—vocally—if it's not in evidence. They also vote with their fe
Time is Not on Your Side
Consumers are not a patient lot, and the digital age hasn't improved things one bit. On the contrary, customers weaned on the Internet won't wait around for you to get your act together. "Expectations of what is timely are really changing," adds Solomon. If you can't deliver what customers want when they want it, they'll move on rather than waste their time.
Be Prepared for Things to Go Wrong
Have a process in place to deal with issues before they arise. And here's Solomon's secret: Fuss over customers like a mother would over a beloved family member. Why? Because when you genuinely—and that's the key word here—fuss over a distraught customer, he or she will tend to self-diffuse, and then resolving the issue becomes much easier.

The Aspen Institute has named Finger Lakes Community College one the nation's 120 top community colleges, making it eligible to compete for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.
The Aspen Institute, an international nonprofit organization, identified the 120 community colleges – 10 percent of all institutions across the nation – using a quantitative formula that assesses performance and improvement in four areas: graduation rates, degrees awarded, student retention rates, and equity in student outcomes.
These colleges will now compete for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, which was established to identify and replicate practices that significantly improve college student outcomes. The winner receives $600,000; other finalists receive smaller amounts.
Five other New York community colleges were named to the Aspen Institute list: Broome Community College, Binghamton; Kingsborough Community College, Brooklyn; Genesee Community College, Batavia; Hudson Valley Community College, Troy; and Jefferson Community College, Watertown.
FLCC ranks second of 29 upstate New York community colleges for "successful outcomes" as measured by the State University of New York. SUNY defines successful outcomes as graduating, transferring or continuing to pursue higher education after six semesters.
Some seven million students – youth and adult learners – enroll in America's nearly 1,200 public and private community colleges every year.
"The success of our nation's community colleges is more important than ever before," said Josh Wyner, Aspen Institute College Excellence Program executive director. "At a time when a college degree is essential to entering the middle class, community colleges like FLCC offer the most promising path to education and employment for literally millions of Americans."
A full list of the 120 community colleges is available at http://www.aspenccprize.org./ Prize winners will be announced in March 2013.

UNCW in good financial standing
Published: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 1:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 1:59 p.m.
By Pressley Baird
UNCW looks better now than it did five years ago, according to Moody's Investor Services. Here's how some things have changed at the university since 2009.
2009-10: 12,924 students
2013-14: 13,937 students
7.8 percent increase
State funding
2009-10: $103,758,288
2013-14: $96,484,692
7 percent decrease
Tuition and fees*
2009-10: $4,710.80 annually
2013-14: $6,343.10 annually
35 percent increase
*For in-state undergraduate
Source: UNCW, N.C. General Assembly
UNCW is in good financial health, according to a recent report from Moody's Investors Services.
That's unusual for universities right now.
Most schools are struggling financially, and a study by Moody's suggests they will continue to struggle through 2014. But UNCW officials say the university has brought in more money and managed it more efficiently in the past five years.
They hope that will help the state and future students see UNCW as a strong investment.
In December, Moody's revised UNCW's financial outlook to "positive," a move up from their "stable" rating, according to a release from the bond credit rating business. In layman's terms, that means Moody's considers UNCW to have a strong credit score, said Charlie Maimone, vice chancellor for business affairs.
Maimone attributed that to more money coming into the university since 2009, which Moody's used as a comparison point in its decision. UNCW now enrolls 7.8 percent more students than in did in 2009, and in-state undergraduates have seen a 35 percent increase in the cost of their tuition since 2009.
But UNCW also brought in more funds in ways beyond tuition increases, Maimone said. UNCW's advancement division raised $66 million in a seven-year fundraising campaign that finished in 2012. The university also received funding from federal grants, such as $15 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to help build the MARBIONC campus.
Those increases together helped UNCW increase its operating cash flow margin, bringing it to 12.5 percent up from 6.9 percent in 2009. An operating cash flow margin, which is calculated by subtracting a university's operating expenses from its total revenues, shows how much cash the university has to expand. UNCW also grew the amount of total cash and investments by 45 percent.
UNCW's positive outlook goes against the national trend.
Moody's gave higher education institutions as a whole a negative financial outlook for 2014, and schools comparable to UNCW in the UNC system maintained their stable outlooks instead of receiving a boost. Appalachian State University, UNC-Charlotte and Western Carolina University, all considered peer schools of UNCW, each received a stable outlook rating by Moody's in 2013.
UNCW has always been seen as a fiscally conservative and well-managed university, said UNC-system Board of Governors member Hannah Gage. Gage, who is also a former member of the UNCW Board of Trustees, said that it became more important for universities to be fiscally healthy when the economic recession began in 2008.
"We discovered how important it is for an institution to be strong enough to handle the unforeseen and the unexpected, and there were many institutions around the country that did not have that cushion," she said. "Historically, if you look at UNCW, it's always been managed well."
Gage stressed that the UNC system and N.C. General Assembly, when determining how much funding campuses should receive, should take financial efficiency into account rather than raising tuition. This year marked the first since the recession that UNC system schools did not raise in-state tuition, but UNCW was one of four campuses required by the General Assembly to raise out-of-state tuition by 12 percent.
"That's not a long-term answer," Gage said.
Instead, university officials like Maimone hope state lawmakers will take into account Moody's positive outlook when determining how much money UNCW needs.
"When you're running an efficient organization, and you're doing well, and there's outside confirmation of that, that's where you want to actually invest your money," he said. "That would be my expectation, from a business perspective, as a sound investment."

Settlement question
Posted 24 January 2013 - 11:03 AM
Posted 24 January 2013 - 11:54 AM
If that's true then it appears that your settlement is not only not part of the bankruptcy estate but doesn't have to be reported to the bankruptcy trustee and you get to keep the entire settlement.
Read the following case decision and you'll see how that works.
Confirm that with your bankruptcy attorney.
Warning: Legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here are simplified and might not fully explain the ramifications of your particular issue. I am not a lawyer. I do not give legal advice. I make comments based on my knowledge and experience. I guarantee nothing. If you act on my comments without the advice of an attorney, you do so at your own risk.
Posted 24 January 2013 - 12:52 PM
I filed chapter 7 (in Ohio) a few years back. Before my case was discharged I had a medical issue. Almost a year after my case was discharged I was contacted about receiving a settlement. My settlement amount is a lot higher than the debt that was discharged.
Some clarification would be helpful. You refer to a "medical issue," and then, without further explanation refer to a "settlement" (you only say you were "contacted about receiving a settlement," but I assume you actually did receive it). You then compare the amount of this unexplained "settlement" to the amount of some unidentified "debt that was discharged." This all implies that the "medical issue," the "settlement," and the "debt that was discharged" have some relationship, but the relationship is completely unexplained. My guess is that the "medical issue" arose out of some sort of accident for which you thereafter received the "settlement." The implication also appears to be that the "debt that was discharged" was for medical expenses you incurred as a result of the accident, but that's not clear. It is critical to the answer to your question that this information be clarified.
I disagree both with the conclusion stated in the prior response and that the case cited in the prior response supports the conclusion stated. For starters, the case cited is a Tennessee state court decision that has no authoritative value either in Ohio or as it relates to federal bankruptcy law. While both Tennessee and Ohio are in the Sixth Circuit (in the federal court system, the country is divided into circuits), the Headrick decision does not even rely primarily on Sixth Circuit authorities. In the Headrick decision, the Tennessee court concluded that the debtor-plaintiff's cause of action accrued eleven months after she filed her bankruptcy petition. The prior response suggests that the dispositive fact is if "your medical issue arose after you filed your petition." But, as the first paragraph of my response should indicate, what you meant by "medical issue" isn't at all clear. The question is when your cause of action accrued (i.e., when did you first know or have reason to know of facts that gave you the right to sue). Your post is unclear about this (again, we could make lots of assumptions, but you know what they say about that). But even the date of accrual of your cause of action is is not dispositive. The Headrick court noted that the case authority "indicate[s] that there may be no bright-line test for whether a cause of action that accrues post-petition will be included as part of the bankruptcy estate," and that making that determination involves a rather fact-based analysis. The court concluded that "the cause of action asserted by Ms. Headrick is not rooted in her 'pre-bankruptcy past' and so, even under that exception, there is no basis for finding that her cause of action is property of her bankruptcy estate."
Putting aside the question of whether a bankruptcy trustee or court in Ohio would agree or disagree with the Headrick decision, we don't have enough information to analyze your situation properly. It seems to me that, particularly if you had medical expenses relating to your "medical issue" discharged in your bankruptcy, you may have a very different situation than that described in Headrick.
You said that you "would like to have [the trustee] hold the amount that [you] had discharged" (as opposed to the entire amount), presumably for purposes of paying the one debt that relates to the "settlement." The problem with that is that, when you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your non-exempt assets are supposed to be used for the benefit of all creditors, not just one or some of them. That you may have a particular debt that relates to a particular asset does not mean that creditor necessarily gets preferential treatment as it relates to the asset. Such a result might obtain if a creditor has a secured interest in a particular asset, but it's not clear whether that is or might be the case here. But, whatever conclusion is reached regarding the settlement being or not being property of your bankruptcy estate will apply to all of the settlement, not just some of it.
Where I do agree with the prior response is with respect to the statement that you should absolutely consult with your bankruptcy attorney about this.

Hammer Whirl
this wiki
The Hammer Whirl (空中回転ハンマー Kūchū Kaiten Hanmā?, lit. "Midair Spin Hammer"), also known as the Mid-Air Hammer Swirl and the Spinning Hammer Attack, is a move performed by Amy Rose. It first appeared in Sonic Advance and returned later in the sequels, Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Advance 3. It is a spinning move Amy performs with her trademark Piko Piko Hammer, while falling through midair.
The Hammer Whirl performs very similarly to the Spin Hammer Attack. When performing the Hammer Whirl, Amy must be positioned in midair. She will then pull out her Piko Piko Hammer and swirl it around while falling straight downward.
The move will automatically stop when Amy lands on the ground, but if she hits an enemy with this move, she will bounce higher into the air while continuing the attack. This can be proven useful on some bosses. Unlike the Spin Hammer Attack however, Amy will not get dizzy from using the move and she can manipulate her movements better.
Game appearances
Sonic Advance
The move first appeared in Sonic Advance under the name Hammer Whirl. During gameplay, the move is executed by pressing the B button and down while in the air.
Sonic Advance 2
The move returned in Sonic Advance 2, this time under the name Mid-Air Hammer Swirl. Its execution in gameplay is identical to that in Sonic Advance although it can also be executed by pressing down and R while launched into the air by gimmicks such as springs as her down Mid-Air Trick Action. However Amy will bounce back up into the air even when hitting the ground.
Sonic Advance 3
In Sonic Advance 3, Amy can only perform the Hammer Whirl if she is teamed up with Sonic, Cream or Knuckles. The controls needed to perform this move are identical to the previous Sonic Advance titles' controls. In Cream's case, she must use any item that lets her perform tricks and then the player must press down and R as in Sonic Advance 2.

Property Tax Is Easy to Hate, but Difficult to Mess With
The thing about your property tax bill isn't just that it is big — that, it is. The irritating thing is that if you're a homeowner or own property for rent, you see it as a lump sum. Read more

I have a one of a kind Monique Lhullier. It was never put into production. I have emails back and forth from their offices confirming this. No other bride will have this dress. The boning is beautiful. It really accentuates the small of the waist. The lace is very romantic. The train of the dress drags about 1/2 ft-1ft behind you. It is extremely light weight (read: perfect for an outdoor wedding.) The dress has an illusion lace neck line that "covers" the chest/collar bone/back. It is in immaculate condition. I bought this dress from the Monique Lhullier sample sale in Los Angeles in July 2013. I have the receipt. My measurements are 34.5 bust, 27 waist, 40 hips (all in inches). There are NO tears. It is unaltered. Perfect condition. Like new. I have tried the dress on three times, but otherwise has been unworn. I found another dress that I just fell in love with and would love for this one to make another bride's day.

Head Coach Curtis Johnson
Overall thoughts on Wednesday's practice
"I thought today was good. It was our first day in pads. I thought the defense flew around more. They got some opportunities to hit and make some tackles, so we finally got some hitting. The d-line played really well in individual periods."
On who stood out today
"Devon Breaux has been having a great camp. All of the quarterbacks - Montana, Powell and Tanner Lee - played well. I really like what Tanner did today. Robert Kelley had a good day running the football. I saw Jordan Sullen make a play in the endzone to stop a touchdown, so those guys are playing well."
On whether the offense is ahead of the defense, or vice versa at this point
"No, I think it goes by period. In one period, I thought the offense looked good in the live period. In the next two periods, the defense won. So that's a good problem to have. The competition is very, very good and very, very stiff."
On replacing the deep snapper and holder for All-American kicker Cairo Santos
"I thought it was good up until today. Cairo finally missed one for the first time in about a year, but that's good. If he's missing them in practice, he's getting that out of his system. But I think they're all getting along pretty good."
On tomorrow's two-a-day practice
"It'll be the second day in pads and it's a two-a-day. We'll have a couple of scrimmage periods along with a special teams period in there. We're indoors so there shouldn't be any excuses."
Junior Tight End Matt Marfisi
On how practice went on Wednesday
"Well, we had a few mentals but that's always going to happen in camp. We had a good practice overall. We just need to cut down on the mentals and come together as a group a little bit more."
On how things have gone for him so far
"It's good. I love being with my teammates and playing football. What could be better?"
On playing with a new quarterback this year
"We get reps with every quarterback so it doesn't really matter whose throwing the ball. We have to catch it anyway."
On scrimmaging tomorrow as part of a two-a-day practice
"Scrimmages are always fun. We get to go live and do a little more than we usually get to - go down and finish a little more. And we get to get out of the sun a little bit, so that's good."
Sophomore Defensive Lineman Corey Redwine
On how practice went today
"Today went well. It was hot, but we're football players and we have to adjust to it. We're going to play away outside. We get a little spoiled with the Superdome, but we play outside and our new stadium is going to be outside so we just have to get adjusted to it."
On how things have gone so far during preseason practice
"Things have been going great. We're so much better as a team and as a defense. We'll develop a lot more, we know the defense much more, we know the technique better and we have a much better rotation this year."
On the progress of the defensive line
"All the guys on the d-line are great. We're like brothers. We do everything together. We're so tight as a group and that's going to make us so much better as a d-line and that's going to make us better as a defense. The game is won up front."
On scrimmaging on Thursday at the Saints facility
"Practice is actually a little bit smoother inside, so it'll be much more exciting tomorrow. There will be a lot more hitting and the sun won't get too us so much, so the guys will be a lot more fresh to go full speed tomorrow."

I am beyond words....:blink:
This guy clearly doesn't know the difference between the game GTA and reality.
How high was this guy??? This is one of those guys that's sitting behind the controller of an Xbox playing a black ops game with a joint in one hand with a 2 liter bottle of mountain dew and a 10 pound bag of m&M's... saying, if they wanna win this, they should send me in...
Sorry... your geedunk is UA there buddy.. lol.
There are a couple of lessons here though:
1.) The victim was well behind the action/reaction curve and still successfully defended himself. I don't know how many times I've heard an anti claiming that a gun is useless for self defense in the event of an unexpected assault.
2.) It's unlikely the outcome would have been as good if the employee had been carrying in condition 3 (or condition 2 with a SAO for that matter).
26-year-old Brian C. Wayner is now worm food; as he should be. i wish the clerk a speedy recovery.

Undeniably, the rain gods have been miserly this year, sprinkling a paltry 3.95 inches of precipitation this year, an amount that invariably threatens the agriculture industry. And, over the dry, dusty expanse of the next few months, there is no apparent relief in sight. The dearth in rainfall is imminently poised to create a drought that rivals the infamous drought of the mid-1970s, and become the worst one in California history that could devastate parts of the California East Bay wine country.
For three successive years (following a drenching winter and spring of 2011), California has experienced a significant water shortage. This year's snowfall has been minimal; none of it has contributed to the water diminishing (or nonexistent) surpluses contained in California's reservoirs. Water transfers have been restricted within various regions. The dry season has exacerbated groundwater and aquifer storage issues that have already plagued an industry that could wither by the drought.
For the unprepared, the impact of the rainfall deficit can be unforgiving. And for the 2013 vintage, it can mean a greater cost for urban wineries in San Francisco and the East Bay that source from such AVAs as Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa, Lake County, Lodi and the Sierra Foothills. Suffering crops and longer irrigation periods necessitates a price increases.
Vineyard and winery owners, however, have developed contingency plans to temper and adapt to unseasonably dry conditions. Some methods including early irrigation (especially for seasoned vineyard owners accustomed to long dry years) and pump maintenance, low-drip irrigation systems, dry farming (relying on local and individual water conservation efforts), creating on-farm ponds, and developing drought-resistant root-stocks and other SIP (Sustainability in Practice) methods of farming.
In many instances, it can positively affect grape production, as the vines works to find water, it may produce a lower yield grape, but one that is nonetheless exploding with concentrated flavor. Regardless, many vineyard owners, and crop growers throughout California, are hoping that a pending deluge will arrive, to slake the thirst of crops surviving another dry California year. And for those that relying on their instincts and prevailing knowledge to endure the dry year, the wine consumer is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the 2013 vintage.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|26 Years
UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field has positioned her Bruins as one of the premier programs in collegiate gymnastics. Not only has she consistently recruited and coached some of the top talent in the world, but she has produced the results.
The Bruins won their first NCAA championship in 1997 under Kondos Field and won again in back-to-back seasons in both 2000-2001 and 2003-2004. In 2010, UCLA won its sixth NCAA title with a 24-for-24 performance in the Super Six. UCLA has remained the Leader of the Pac under Kondos Field's tenure, winning 12 conference titles, including the inaugural Pac-12 title in 2012, to go along with 17 NCAA Regional titles. In 2015, UCLA won the NCAA Regional title, and senior Samantha Peszek won the NCAA all-around and beam titles.
Kondos Field has been selected by her peers as the NACGC/W National Coach of the Year four times (1996, 1997, 2000 and 2001) and was also named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 1995, 2000, 2003 and 2012. In 2010, she became just the second active coach to be inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.
Kondos Field emphasizes a team concept, but her student-athletes have also found individual success, winning 27 NCAA individual titles during her years as head coach.
But even with all of her successes on the court, what gives Kondos Field most satisfaction is seeing her student-athletes succeed in all facets of their lives. Academics is a big part of that equation, and Kondos Field's teams regularly place members on the Conference All-Academic teams and Scholastic All-American squads and annually contend for the school's team GPA award.
With legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden as her role model and cherished friend, Kondos Field's coaching philosophy stresses balance and integrity.
"Growing up in the classical dance world, I spent the majority of my youth in a very disciplined environment," she said. "The reward was the self-satisfaction that came from the culmination of months of hard work in preparation for our performances and knowing I did my best to become the best I was capable of becoming. The reward wasn't monetary or about 'winning'; instead, it was being able to have pride in a job well done."
"In a sport as subjective as gymnastics, it's important to have an honest internal voice that knows when you've done your best even if your 'score' says you didn't 'win', and conversely knowing when you can push harder even if your 'score' says you are the 'champion'," she continued. "That inner voice, known as integrity, is vital in living life to its fullest and enjoying the journey in every aspect of life."
Kondos Field's professional journey has been a unique one. A former professional ballet dancer with the Sacramento Ballet, Capital City Ballet and Washington, D.C. Ballet, she initially got her start in gymnastics at Agilites in Carmichael, Calif. by playing the piano for floor exercise music. From there, she became a dance coach, and under the guidance of former University of Minnesota co-head coach Jim Stephenson, learned the fundamentals of the sport.
In 1983, she was hired to be UCLA's assistant coach and choreographer. While working under head coach Jerry Tomlinson, Kondos Field helped put UCLA Gymnastics on the map with their distinctive choreography and flair. The Bruins earned NCAA runner-up finishes in 1984 and 1989 and won six NCAA individual titles from 1987-89.
Kondos Field was appointed head coach of the Bruins in 1991 and brought in Scott Bull as her co-head coach. The duo earned West Region Co-Coach of the Year honors in 1993 and in 1994. As the sole head coach in 1995, she earned Pac-10 and West Region coaching honors and guided her team to first-place finishes at the Pac-10 and Regional Championships. Just one year later, she led the Bruins to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships, and in 1997 she became just the fourth coach in NCAA history to win a national title.
She is recognized as one of the top beam and floor choreographers in the sport. Under her guidance, UCLA has formed a reputation of having the most unique and artistic routines in the nation. Kondos Field has choreographed 17 NCAA championship routines on beam and floor, including an unprecedented three consecutive on floor from Kim Hamilton from 1987-89. She also earned the Choreography of the Year Award at the 2004 Canadian National Championships for Kate Richardson's floor exercise routine.
Kondos Field has also come to be recognized for her recruiting ability. Since becoming head coach, she has attracted to UCLA some of the top talent in the U.S. and abroad, including Olympic competitors Samantha Peszek, Jennifer Pinches, Mohini Bhardwaj, Kate Richardson, Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs, Tasha Schwikert, Kristen Maloney, Jamie Dantzscher, Yvonne Tousek, Stella Umeh and Luisa Portocarrero; and World Championships competitors Lena Degteva, Doni Thompson, Leah Homma, Jeanette Antolin, Holly Murdock, Ashley Peckett, Marci Bernholtz, Lichelle Wong, Sydney Sawa, Mattie Larson, Christine Peng-Peng Lee and Danusia Francis. Kondos Field also signed 2016 Olympic hopefuls in 2012 Olympic gold medalist Kyla Ross and 2015 uneven bars world champion Madison Kocian.
More impressively, however, under Kondos Field's tutelage, many of these top recruits went on to compete at the elite level both during and after their collegiate careers. Anna Li made the U.S. Olympic team as an alternate in 2012, two years after finishing her senior season at UCLA. In the summer of 2010, Vanessa Zamarripa made the U.S. National Team with an eighth-place finish at her first U.S. Championships. In 2004, Kate Richardson became only the second female gymnast to compete at the Olympic Games as a collegiate athlete. She was joined in Athens by another Bruin, Mohini Bhardwaj, who captained the U.S. team to a team silver medal three years after her senior season at UCLA. Both Richardson and Bhardwaj qualified for the floor exercise finals, with Bhardwaj placing sixth and Richardson placing seventh with her Kondos Field-choreographed routine. In 1999, Kondos Field coached then-UCLA junior Heidi Moneymaker at her first USA Championships, and Moneymaker, Bhardwaj and Lena Degteva all represented UCLA at the 1999 World University Games.
A 1987 UCLA graduate in history, Kondos Field is also a freelance choreographer with extensive experience in the entertainment and gymnastics fields. She has helped to create, direct and choreograph Sea World's Summer Nights shows for the past 24 years, and her Riptide show won a national award for Best Overall Production: $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 or More at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) 2007 Big "E" Awards. In the summer of 1991, Kondos Field choreographed a summer acrobatic festival held in Lennestadt, Germany.
Kondos Field is married to former UCLA Associate Athletic Director Bobby Field.

Universal Economics (UnEc) is a non-money alternative economics system which combines the efficiency of a market economy with a strong philosophy of social responsibility. It was first visualized in 1947 by philosopher Addison Brown, in a rudimentary form, as "Prior Choice Economics." But the technology for implementation did not exist at that time. Now it does.
UnEc is not simply "cashless" in the sense of EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), but is literally a new paradigm of economic activity that transcends money the way money transcended the barter economy thousands of years ago.
The basic necessities of life (i.e. food, shelter, clothing, health care, education, etc.) are easily provided to all members of society whether they are currently working or not. There is no taxation of any form, so productivity is never penalized.

Breaking: Lawsuit against San Diego Unified alleges vote trading by Board President Evans
Longtime educator tells Rostra "It's their choice" whether the district sees her in court. "I want my job back."
In a lawsuit filed yesterday against the San Diego Unified School District, Board President John Lee Evans is alleged to have struck a deal to gain the teachers union endorsement and campaign contributions in exchange for the demotion of a district area superintendent.
The suit, filed in San Diego Superior Court on behalf of Dr. Brenda Campbell, alleges she was wrongfully demoted without cause and a violation of her constitutional rights of due process, citing a school board action of one month ago. It further states that Evans' vote on the matter was a result of a "quid pro quo" arrangement with the union to gain support for his current reelection effort.
The complaint notes that Dr. Campbell, a 38-year employee of the district, was demoted by the school board on September 4, 2012, on the recommendation of Superintendent Bill Kowba, allegedly due to pressure from the San Diego Education Association (SDEA). The suit further alleges that in response to six detailed complaints against her, "Dr. Campbell was given less than a week to respond" prior to the board decision.
The document further states that Dr. Campbell provided a detailed rebuttal to the complaints against her, noting that the "written response was so detailed, it would have taken … several hours to read and digest the evidence submitted … However, the Board voted after only 45 minutes to approve" the demotion. Board Trustee Scott Barnett is also alleged to have admitted to voting "in favor of the demotion solely to show his support for Kowba…"
The allegations against Board President Evans are partly based on what the lawsuit cites as a discussion between SDEA President Bill Freeman and him:
"John Lee Evan's (sic) decision to demote Dr. Campbell was even more sinister. Recent evidence has come to light, through overheard, public conversations between Evans and Freeman, that Evans voted in favor of the demotion in furtherance of a quid pro quo deal, whereby Evans would obtain the Teachers Union's endorsement and even monetary campaign contributions."
Attached to the complaint "are two reports prepared by a group of teachers (and members of the Teachers Union), recounting a recent meeting, at which, 'Freeman openly bragged that he had been called up by Evans the day before and how they chatted about Evans voting to get rid of Brenda Campbell, implicitly in exchange for SDEA's endorsement.' The teachers' report also states, referring to Evans, that 'SDEA has endorsed him, and the SDEA Board voted last week to give him $15,000 for his reelection campaign.'"
"I've dedicated 38 years of my life to this District," Campbell told Rostra, "so I have strong feelings about being treated this way. But, it's not about me; it's not about the teacher's union, about Mr. Evans, etc. It's about the children who deserve a better education than that being offered. I don't want to sue the District. I want my job back. I did nothing wrong. If they want to admit that and give me my job back, I'll dismiss. If not, I'll see them in court. It's their choice."
Evans is facing a reelection challenge from Mark Powell, who provided the complaint document to SD Rostra along with a press release. "I believe it is time for John Evans to resign from the School Board and withdraw from the campaign," Powell said. "He continues to make bad decisions and demonstrate poor leadership by proposing to reduce the school year to one of the shortest in the world; selling district land below market value; approving high interest bonds that our grandchildren will have to pay for; and acting fiscally irresponsible."
Rostra has sent a message to Evans requesting a comment via his campaign website, which does not appear to list a phone number. Rostra has also reached out to Barnett and some others noted above for comments. Trustee Barnett responded that he cannot comment on a matter involving litigation, which is likely also the case for other district officials.
KUSI also ran a story about the lawsuit within the last hour.
UPDATE 5:30 pm: School Board President John Lee Evans has responded.
3 Responses to "Breaking: Lawsuit against San Diego Unified alleges vote trading by Board President Evans"
Any bets on whether the unions will come to Ms. Campbell's defense or throw her under the bus to protect their hand-picked lackey "Duh-ctor" John Lee Evans?
Someone is going to have tire tread marks, that is for sure…Mark Powell for School Board!
To Mr. Evans,
I come here to voice my concern. I Amanda is former student in class I 2006. I was a student if Dr. Campbell. I will have to say I feel what the San Diego union school Disctrict has done was a mistake. Dr. Campbell might be hard on her students but if it was for her I would have not moved forward to college. I was a high school student married in school. Dr. Campbell was the only one that had faith and the stength to push me forward in school when my other teachers didnt care besides they see a student married. I did not know what I was capable of until the day I join her class. Dr Campbell was the most amazing teacher and role model for the students. The student like me or in 2006 are very immature and don't care to pass. Dr. Campbell pushes us because deep down in her heart she knows we can do it. When no one else didn't. I love this teacher and I feel other teachers need to be more like Dr. Campbell. Teachers are more interested in 2006 on being the cool teacher and our friend. Then take the time to push is forward in our education. Dr. Campbell pushes us forward tells us what she expects. We need that type of structure! For you to say she is to hard on the students. Well as a former student of hers. She needs to be hard on the children. Look at the kids today not graduating, drop out, get into drugs and are little punks. I was one of those little punks until the day I join her class. I am bless I had Dr. Campbell. I have a beautiful four year old lol girl and a newborn son. I will personally want my kids to be in her classes and in her school. Please re evaluate Dr. Campbell because our schools need her. Thank You!

The phrase "slumber party" pops up occasionally but that's the only connecting thread in these otherwise unrelated scenes. Nikki Knights, who looks as good to me as ever, is wasted in a quickie with Sean Michael. Nikki is billed herein as Nike, maybe she should have put on a pair and run in the opposite direction. Paulina Down is quite pretty but seems in the same rut too many other starlets are in.

I've been seeing Dr Kornack for hip pain several years after a hip replacement. When X-rays showed implant was not loose, Dr. Kornack lost interest in the problem and told me to learn to live with the pain. Not ver satisfactory.
Dr. Kornack performed a successful trigger finger surgery. The nurses in the OR told me that he was the best and kindest orthopedic surgeon that they work with. I have seen him for several years for various orthopedic issues and find him to be extremely kind, efficient, intelligent and always explains my options in ways that i can understand. I would recommend him highly to anyone and in fact, have done so.
Dr. Kornack was cold and uninterested in myself as a patient. I had brought my baby in with me who sat quietly in a carriage and Dr. K never even acknowledged the baby in any way. He talked down to me and was actually rude. After 2 visits with him I started seeing his Nurse practitioner instead who was wonderful. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
I've been seeing Dr Kornak for my knees for years and just recently he performed a scope on my left knee. I've had no pain at all in the knee when awake and not too much at night. It's day 4 and I'm walking around and going up and down stairs with no pain. I highly recommend his services

At another point in her letter, Villafana refers to an apparent allegation of self-dealing in the selection of an outside attorney who would represent the 40-odd victims identified in the FBI probe. In a somewhat unusual arrangement, Epstein agreed not to contest his liability in any civil suits brought by these victims – and in fact to pay for lawyers to represent them. In her letter, Villafana denies any personal interest in the choice of attorney and goes on to say, "your attacks on me and on the victims establish why I wanted to find someone whom I could trust with safeguarding the victims' best interests in the face of intense pressure from an unlimited number of highly skilled and well paid attorneys."
Responding to a request for comment on Acosta's account of events, Roy Black wrote The Daily Beast on Thursday that, "I can't reply to a letter I haven't received…I can't give a reasoned response without examining the files and being able to refresh my recollection of events that occurred years ago." Black went on, "I do not believe any of the things you mention occurred except for the fact we did exercise our right to appeal to the Department of Justice to determine if a federal crime had been committed." (Other Epstein attorneys contacted by The Daily Beast did not respond. The U.S Attorney's office for the Southern District of Florida had no comment.)
Why did Acosta decide to voice his opinions now? In part, he clearly is reacting to ongoing criticism that Epstein's puny punishment did not fit his crimes. "Some may feel that the prosecution should have been tougher," Acosta writes. "Evidence that has come to light since 2007 may encourage that view. Many victims have since spoken out…physical evidence has since been discovered."
Acosta may also have chosen to come forward now because, on Monday, attorneys for a number of those victims filed suit under the Victims Crimes Rights Act to challenge the "non-prosecution agreement" that ultimately resulted from all the wrangling, claiming that they were not consulted. The U.S. Attorney's office, now led by Wifredo A. Ferrer, has indicated it will file a response to the suit on April 7.
In his letter, Acosta also takes issue with the way Epstein's sentence was carried out: "Although the terms of confinement in a state prison are a matter appropriately left to the State of Florida…without doubt, the treatment that he received while in state custody undermined the purpose of a jail sentence." Indeed, Epstein's brief confinement likely reinforced a perception that he had merely succumbed to a nuisance suit. Such a gross misapprehension would help account for the apparent ease with which Epstein has rejoined the ranks of a social elite. Katie Couric, Woody Allen, and George Stephanopoulos, among others, attended a dinner party he hosted for Prince Andrew in December, and New York authorities seem to be either unaware or unconcerned that his Upper East Side home is within 1,000 feet of an Episcopal pre-school, in violation of sex-offender laws.
Yet a source tells The Daily Beast that Epstein's legal troubles may not be over. It is possible that, as an outgrowth of the 2007 Florida investigation, federal investigators are now looking into allegations of money laundering and other financial misdeeds. Villafana notes at the end of her letter to Lefkowitz: "You accuse me of broadening the scope of the investigation without any foundation for doing so by adding charges of money laundering and violations of a money transmitting business to the investigation. Again, I consulted with the Justice Department's Money Laundering Section about my analysis...the duty officer agreed with my analysis."

#MWC11: Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo hands-on video
Sony Ericsson has big plans for this year. It announced no less than four new smartphones, all running the latest version of Google's Android, namely 2.3 Gingerbread
We've already seen the Xperia Arc, the PlayStation-certified Xperia Play, and the Xperia Pro. Now it's time to take a better look at the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo.
Previously appeared as the Sony Ericsson Hallon, the Neo is the keyboardless version of the Xperia Pro. It has the same 3.7 inch FWVGA Reality display, Sony Bravia Engine, HDMI, 8MP autofocus camera with Sony's Exmor R sensor (for capturing images and HD video in low-light conditions), and the same 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor.
I've played a bit with the Neo during Sony Ericsson's MWC 2011 press conference, and – just like the Xperia Play and Xperia Pro – it left me with a good impression: it's fast, responsive, and well-build.
A video preview of the Neo can be watched below:
Sony Ericsson said the Xperia Neo would be out before the end of March. The exact price of the Neo hasn't been announced, but we do know that the smartphone will be a bit cheaper than the Xperia Pro (which is understandable, since the latter adds a QWERTY keyboard).

TEMPE, Ariz.—The Arizona State swimming and diving team returns to action this weekend with the women hosting Oregon State at home, Saturday, and a quick turn around trip to Utah on Sunday for a co-ed dual meet.
While the team has not competed together as a whole in the pool since early November, ASU swimmers have still been putting in the work heading into the latter portion of the season schedule. Twelve members, six from both the men's and women's side, are coming off momentum-building performances at the USA Swimming AT&T Winter Nationals.
Among those swimmers include Alex Coci from the men's side and Tristin Baxter from the women's. Coci broke the Arizona State records in the 100 and 200 Fly, set by none other than himself last season, while Baxter improved the ASU mark in the 500 Free.
Moving into the diving portion of the event, Olympian Riley McCormick has shown elite capability off the board all season, blowing opponents out en route to numerous first-place finishes.
Saturday's women's matchup against Oregon State will begin at 10 a.m. MT from ASU's Mona Plummer Aquatic Center. Sunday's competition in Salt Lake City for both the men and women starts at noon MT.

Fans of organic food in the Park Cities have reason to celebrate: the Dallas-grown Southpaw's Organic Cafe now has a location at Equinox Highland Park. The upscale gym chain welcomed Southpaw's to their Oak Lawn Avenue location on July 21 with menus suited to any time of day. Steel-cut oatmeal, vanilla-almond granola and egg wraps puncuate the morning menu while lunch and dinner patrons can select from build-your-own bowls, sandwiches and wraps. The location is open to members and non-members alike and focuses on local or "near local" ingredients without added preservatives or sugars. Southpaw's sources breads from Signature Baking Company, meats from Boar's Head, and produce from a variety of local and regional producers such as Earthbound, Whole Foods, and Fresh Point.
Another outlet at the Equinox location in Preston Hollow will follow later this summer. JuJu by Southpaw's will serve a selection of fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies and coffee in addition grab-and-go items and special menu items rotated biweekly. Southpaw bills itself as "not 100% organic, but made with 100% love".

Outside of the new Equinox locations, Southpaw's also operates eateries at Preston Center and in Uptown on McKinney Avenue.

European Unity on the Rocks
In Europe, there is a crisis of confidence in the economy, in the future, in the benefits of European economic integration, in EU membership, in the euro and in the free market system. The crisis has also exposed sharp differences between some Europeans, especially the Germans and Greeks.
Chapter 3. Taming the Crisis
Austerity, bailouts and increased outside scrutiny of national budgets have been, so far, the principal policy responses to the euro crisis. These efforts receive mixed grades from European publics. They are divided over the fiscal belt-tightening to date and most question the need for further spending cuts. Richer northern European nations are skeptical about aiding […]

He made his debut for Greece in June 2005, against Ukraine, just prior to competing at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany.
• Born in the former Czechoslovakia to a Czech father and Greek mother, he started his career in earnest with second-tier Greek outfit Paniliakos FC.
• Remained with the Pirgos club until January 2004, when, following promotion to the top flight and an excellent first half of campaign, he switched to Panathinaikos.
• A minor contributor to the Greens' 2003/04 double triumph, he became a regular in the first XI the following campaign and a fringe member of the Greece squad, going on to make two 90-minute UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying appearances (wins in Malta and Hungary) and one in the finals against Spain.
• Enjoyed a particularly memorable season in 2009/10, helping Panathinaikos to the domestic double and reaching 50 games in European competition; also ended the campaign by appearing in all three matches for Greece at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
• A UEFA Champions League ever-present in 2010/11 − his fourth campaign in the competition − he made five appearances for Greece in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying.

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

In 2012 writer/director Joss Whedon slayed box office records with the Marvel Studios film The Avengers. So what's next for a man fresh off of filming a widely anticipated summer blockbuster? Why, he films a movie adaptation of Shakespeare.
Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most well loved and well known plays. The story of comedic shenanigans centers around the love lives of the feisty Beatrice, the cynical Benedick, the innocent Hero and the lovelorn Claudio. The story takes place at the home of Hero's father and Beatrice's uncle, Leonato. A politician and local celebrity, Leonato invites Prince Don Pedro and a host of guests to stay at his home. It's immediately apparent that young Claudio and Hero are attracted to one other in the sweetest form of new love, and that Beatrice and Benedick's venomous barbs slung at each other are filled with passion and attraction under the guise of animosity. Mistaken identity, manipulation, and melancholy follow in quick succession.
What makes this latest adaptation of Shakespeare's work so interesting surrounds the movie-making process. Whedon, who is a king in geek culture for creating Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly among others, is a man who loves fantasy stories, comic book heroes, and classic literature. Whedon regularly hosts readings of Shakespeare's work with actors who often appear in his projects, so when The Avengers was coming to a close, Whedon and his wife, Kai Cole decided to spend their vacation making a Much Ado About Nothing movie. The cast and crew were quickly assembled and given two weeks to prepare for the shoot. The movie was filmed at Whedon and Cole's house, which she designed and decorated, over the truncated course of 12 days. Many shots were done in one or two takes forcing the actors to embody a vivid sense of urgency and bring nothing short of their A-game. Amy Acker (Angel, Dollhouse) and Alexis Denisof (Angel, How I Met Your Mother) take on the leading roles of Beatrice and Benedick displaying their undeniable chemistry, first seen on Angel. Denisof's over the top delivery of lines and hilarious physicality, including doing push-ups to impress Beatrice, is impossible not to love. Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly) and Tom Lenk (Cabin in the Woods) are hilarious as Dogberry and Verges, playing off of each other as "serious" police officers, especially when Fillion is repeatedly calling himself an "ass". During the more serious sequence, Acker's performance of the, "If I Were a Man" speech is the best dramatic moment of the movie.
Whedon directed and wrote the screenplay, based on Shakespeare's play. The movie is rated PG-13 and is 109 minutes long. Fans of Shakespeare's plays and movie adaptations will love this film. Fans of Whedon's work and his gallery of regular stars will enjoy it if only to see Angel's Fred and Wesley back together.
The DVD includes a making of featurette, "Bus Ado About Nothing" featurette about the cast and crew's trip to SXSW, "Sigh No More" music video, and commentaries with Joss Whedon and the cast. The DVD can likely be found at FYE or can be ordered on amazon.com.
