Atlanta Businessman and the Chair of the Tulane Board Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics Doug Hertz Made the Naming Gift for the Project
Nov. 17, 2011
Fact Sheet (PDF) | Photo Gallery
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane University unveiled the Hertz Center, the new state-of-the-art, 43,000 square-foot basketball and volleyball practice facility, in a dedication ceremony on Thursday, November 17. The Hertz Center was officially opened in a ribbon cutting ceremony which included Tulane director of athletics Rick Dickson, Tulane president Scott Cowen and Atlanta businessman and the chair of the Tulane Board Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics Doug Hertz, who made the naming gift for the facility.
"I'm grateful to President Cowen and the Board for their renewed commitment to Tulane Athletics," said Hertz. "Because of that, our family was looking for a way to make a leadership gift that would have the greatest and most immediate impact for the school, its student-athletes and the Athletic Department. We hope that it will prove to be a springboard for a complete renaissance for all of Tulane Athletics. Tulane has been incredibly important to me and my entire family and we're privileged to be in a position to be able to give back to the institution."
A facility that will forever change the way Tulane student-athletes train, the Hertz Center includes two regulation basketball/volleyball courts, weight training, athletic training and hydrotherapy facilities, equipment room, conference rooms, coaches offices for all three programs, a video room and lounges for the men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams.
"Year after year, Doug and his family have shown their commitment and passion for Tulane and we are extremely proud of and grateful for all of their support," said Cowen. "A couple of weeks ago, New York Times sportswriter Pete Thamel tweeted that he thinks the new Hertz Center may be the best volleyball and basketball practice facility in the country. I couldn¹t agree more and Tulane is home to this great building because of our great friends, Doug and Lila Hertz."
The Hertz Center is located on Ben Weiner Drive between the Wilson Center and the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine and will act as the training facility for the men's and women's basketball and volleyball programs.
"The Hertz Center is a state-of-the art practice and development facility that will benefit our coaches and student-athletes for decades to come," said Dickson. "It provides the needed space and services to maximize skill development in a complete and time efficient manner. We are extremely grateful to Doug, Lila and the entire Hertz family who have led the way, along with other generous donors, to make this a reality. Along with Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, this is another major cornerstone in the foundation for success of Tulane athletics."
The main floor of the Hertz Center houses Goldring/Woldenberg Court and Cary Court. The courts reflect the generous donations of the Goldring Family Foundation, the Woldenberg Foundation and the late L. Wick Cary estate.
The gym features nearly 15,000 square-feet of court space with four main Spalding basketball goals and eight additional basketball goals. The two courts were installed by Connor Sports Floors and the Focus Floor that was laid down matches the floor in Fogelman Arena. Each court includes an iPod docking station, mounted cameras that the coaching staff can use to film practice and a location for another camera set-up.
Attached to the main practice area of the Hertz Center are the athletic training and strength and conditioning rooms. The open floor plan gives the student-athletes access to both rooms and almost 3,000 square-foot area that can be viewed from the gym through an all-glass front. The athletic training area houses one Hydroworx cold tub, two taping tables and four treatment stations. In the strength and conditioning area, treadmills, elliptical machines and an assortment of Power Lift weight training equipment line the floor. Offices were also installed for the staff members that will be working with the Green Wave programs housed in the Hertz Center.
Behind the main gym, each program has their own locker room space with 1,200 square-feet that includes locker, lounge and bathroom amenities. Through the entrance, the players are greeted by the lounge area, which features three couches, a refrigerator, microwave, computer desks, television and a pair of iPod docking stations that pump music into a speaker system which is inlayed into the ceiling. Walking into the locker room portion of the suite, 15 individual wooden lockers line the wall, with each including a secure entry system. From there, you enter the lavatory that is equipped with all the necessary comforts, including highly-mounted shower heads and a laundry chute.
An equipment room with 100 issue lockers is located at the corner of the main entrance to the building, with state-of-the-art rolling storage racks one of the major components. The equipment space also has two large capacity washers and dryers and 1,100 square-feet of storage.
Each program is represented with its own program highlight wall on the upper level. The colorful timelines are suspended by steel wires and line the left side of the second floor's main corridor. The coaches offices look out towards a hi-tech timeline that is suspended by wire and sets up the history and future of each respective program.
Once on the second floor, three identical coachs' suites are located along the right side of the Hertz Center. The suites feature five identical offices and are equipped with a television and white board, a reception area and supply closet. Across the hallway, a spacious 400 square-foot conference room is filled with ample seating, a television, projection screen and dry erase boards to use for individual film study. All of the offices overlook Ben Weiner Drive and the James W. Wilson Jr. Center.
Also on the second floor, a 600 square-foot film room is accented with 32 leather chairs, a mounted high definition projector and a state-of-the-art lighting and audio/video system. The programs can also utilize a video room that includes a video breakdown station, mounted camera controls and a recording/duplicating center. The coachs' locker rooms and break room are also located on the upper floor of the Hertz Center.
The building was designed by GouldEvans Associates, LC with Lee Ledbetter & Associates and the construction was handled by the Brice Building company.
Brice was mobilized to begin construction for the Hertz Center on November 23, 2010 and the foundation for the building was laid on January 17, 2011. The building is scheduled for completion in January, 2012 once the final metal panels, which are fabricated in Japan and were affected by the tsunami in 2011, are installed.
Head Volleyball Coach S. Momic
"Our team is very excited about the Hertz Center being officially dedicated. We have been watching the progress for some time now and we couldn't wait to move into this facility. Our program has had a very positive experience in this facility over the last few weeks, as we have been practicing and using our new offices. It is an amazing facility that will improve the looks of this side of campus, allow us to have a great working space for coaches and student-athletes, and definitely help us with recruiting in the future. This building is a great investment in our student-athletes and will have a huge impact on the future of Tulane athletics."
Head Men's Basketball Coach E. Conroy
"First of all, I'm really appreciative to not only Doug Hertz, but all of those who supported this project. It is a fantastic facility. It's as good as there is in college basketball. It doesn't get any better than the Hertz Center with the functionality at this time of year when you are trying to improve your basketball team. Everything is right here in one place so our guys can be efficient with their time and we can have great practices day in and day out. I'm a big believer that great practices lead to winning basketball games."
Head Women's Basketball Coach L. Stockton
"The Hertz Center is one of the most impressive practice and training facilities in the country. We are so grateful to Doug Hertz and his family, along with all of the donors, who made this state-of-the-art building a reality. It will be instrumental in the development of our current student-athletes, as well as a true asset in our future recruiting efforts."
Head Athletic Trainer A. Massey
"The design of the court space and strength training/athletic training area sends a clear message to our student-athletes - that the preparation and hard work that occurs in the weight room, coupled with injury prevention and rehabilitation of injuries carries directly over to the on-court activities. All of these are vital to the success of our student-athletes and the teams for which they compete. These new facilities provide the environment for excellence."
Head Strength and Conditioning Coordinator R. Phillips
"The Hertz Center's floor plan provides an optimal training environment for our student athletes. The centralized location of the locker rooms, weight/athletic training room and courts will provide a great opportunity for our student-athletes to fully utilize their time and develop their physical abilities. It will also provide the opportunity for better cohesion and close interaction of our "performance team" to maximize the potential of each student-athlete."

AMD collaborates with Oracle to improve GPGPU support to OpenJDK
Project Sumatra holds the key to Opteron APUs
CHIP DESIGNER AMD has announced its collaboration with Oracle on OpenJDK to provide support for its GPGPUs.
AMD has been trying to get developers to use OpenCL in order to drive use of its accelerated processing units (APUs), however porting code to a new language is a lengthy process that many developers are simply not willing to do despite the performance benefits. Now AMD has announced that it will work with Oracle to let Java developers make use of its GPGPUs through the OpenJDK Java distribution.
AMD calls its collaboration with Oracle Project Sumatra and said the collaboration will look at the viability of the JVM and Java APIs in offloading code execution to the GPU.
Margaret Lewis, director of software at AMD's server business told The INQUIRER, "We're very excited and looking forward to this collaboration with Oracle and the work with the OpenJDK community. We feel this is the way to take the powerful processing capability of the GPU and put it into the hands of a broad base of developers. [...] There's obviously a level of difficulty [in using OpenCL with Java] that didn't appeal to the main base of developers and so this for us is very exciting because that type of enablement means the hardware will have great utility with developers being able to do the things they are familiar and used to doing."
The fact that Lewis is the head of AMD's server software unit should provide some insight into where AMD is going with its work in OpenJDK. While AMD and Oracle are still only starting off, the idea is that better GPGPU support in the JVM will help AMD when it finally has Opteron APUs. µ

What a great day I had at the Plush Show today!!
I went to the Plush Show for the first time… I thought I would share some thoughts!
It was at the Los Angeles Center Studios located in downtown L.A. (Parking was $6)
I guess this was the first year that they had it outside, and I think there were some ups and downs to that.
I definitely see the appeal for it being outside, especially for some kids activities…awesome chalk artist, bubbles etc. but it was a hot day today, so we actually ended up leaving earlier than we wanted because the kids got so sweaty and cranky. Also some of the booths were up on a very high curb that didn't have any stroller friendly ramps which made it a bit of a nuisance as the booths weren't accessible curbside, so you kind of had to bump up and down.
Since we left early we didn't get to hear any of the speakers or see who won the raffles (even though I think we entered every one!! boo hoo!)
People want to know about the swag situation.
If you purchased a VIP ticket for $125 + $7.87 you got a pretty good swag back including either a Joovy Babasling carrier or a Joovy foocot. I think the actual swag bags were filled with more goodies as well. Upon arrival I did receive a bag of coupons, a paci, newborn bottle, some sleep spray and a couple other bits and bobs. I was hoping for some more product samples from booths, but there were more coupons and such BUT I think that is because it wasn't as big as some of the huge (non-personal) trade show type events.
That being said, I was so impressed with how friendly and warm everyone I encountered was!
Picked up some supplements from deltalabsusa.com (I'll be posting a review once I see how they work! and the girls at http://thenannyleague.com were so so sweet (as you can see in the video). I have never had a sitter or nanny, but if I did.. I would definitely call them!
Loved that there was a breastfeeding lounge by the Pump Station and nurtury. The Pump Station was so sweet and gave us water and cookies while we fed our babies!
Sounds so cheesy, but I loved the http://cutiescitrus.com booth! I got some juice for the kids and a little almond milk coffee sample, but did not get myself a cuties juice and later my friend was like, ooooooh those drinks were BOMB! so now I must go pick some up! and the 2 working the booth were so sweet too.
All in all I am so glad I went and got to spend a fun filled day with a good friend and got to see some cool new things for my kiddos!
Thank you so much Plush Show for allowing me to come and experience it.
All that hard work paid off, hope you all get some good rest!
Hope to see you again next year!

US-Wahl: TV-Sites top, Blogger lala
Zwei Lehren aus der US-Wahlnacht, die das Project for Excellence in Journalism in einer umfangreichen Analyse gezogen hat:
1. The two most valuable things the news media offers on these fast-moving election nights now is a quick summary of key results for those wanting the headlines and deep veins of data that users can mine on their own. That may explain why TV Web sites fared well.
5. When the system works—voting occurs without widespread problems and the media establishment isn't faltering—citizen sentinels, bloggers, and other observers, while potentially important watchdogs, have a more restricted role.

New Veg on the Broc
What looks like broccoli but with a longer, slender stem and smaller flowering buds?
It's broccolini, a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale. You can find it in the produce section of your local grocery store. (The name is trademarked by Mann Packing Co., which introduced broccolini to the United States in 1998. Other companies call the vegetable baby broccoli or asparation.)
Like most green vegetables, broccolini is loaded with vitamin C (130 percent of a day's worth) and vitamin A (30 percent). And it's not too shabby in the potassium (8 percent), calcium (6 percent), and iron (4 percent) departments. That's for an eight-stalk serving (three ounces) that will cost you only 35 fat-free, nearly sodium-free calories.
The taste has hints of broccoli and asparagus. It's a bit sweet and peppery when raw and milder and sweeter when cooked. But unlike broccoli and asparagus, the stalks aren't at all woody. It's completely edible, from flower to stem.
Try sautéeing broccolini with sliced garlic in a bit of the oil from a bottle of sun-dried tomatoes, then top with a few of the chopped tomatoes. Or toss with a little olive oil and roast at 450º F on a baking sheet for 12 to 15 minutes. Season with a squeeze or two of fresh lemon juice, a dusting of freshly ground pepper, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
In a hurry? Just steam your broccolini, then drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette or some toasted sesame oil. Last year was broccolini's 10th birthday.
Thanks, Mann. And keep 'em coming.

Burial Grands
Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls with Icing are "Made with Cinnabon Cinnamon," boasts the label.
If you have a Cinnabon nearby you may be familiar with its cinnamon rolls on steroids. Each humongous 7.8-ounce Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll has roughly 800 calories, 8 grams of saturated fat, and 55 grams (13 teaspoons) of sugar. Plus there's a bonus for your hardworking arteries: 5 grams of trans fat, the worst kind you can eat.
Pillsbury Grands! don't quite measure up. Each 3½-ounce roll has 310 calories and 2 grams of sat fat plus 2½ grams of trans fat and 23 grams of sugar. It's essentially a third of a Cinnabon with more than a third of the icing. Isn't that grand?
Companies are dumping their partially hydrogenated oils left and right, yet Pillsbury still makes most of its rolls and biscuits with partially hydrogenated (soybean oil and cottonseed oil) shortening. Did the company get the oils at a fire sale?
No one thinks of cinnamon rolls as health food. To see what their refined white flour, oils, and six teaspoons of sugar do to your belly, ust peel off the wrapper and watch the contents of the tube.
But 2½ grams of trans fat in each roll? That may not sound like much, but in 2004, a panel of scientists advising the Food and Drug Administration considered recommending 2 grams of trans as the limit for an entire day.
"My heart to yours," says the package. How sweet of the Pillsbury Bypass Boy to share.

RAD or Reactive Attachment Disorder is fairly common among the adoption community. While considered "rare" because the criteria to be considered RAD is very specific, it is the inability to attach to others usually due to trauma. On Wednesday, Huffington Post shares a sad story of a father that had to give up custody of his adopted daughter because of RAD.
Eric Kinzel adopted his daughter and her biological brother when she was just four-years old. Alani and her brother Julius were completely neglected by their mother. Nancy Thomas, a therapeutic parenting specialist says this is often the case in children with RAD. These children aren't used to being loved and so they would rather kill everyone, especially, the mother, because love hurts and they are afraid of being hurt again.
Kinzel says that he had to install a security system for his daughter's room when he found a family portrait with everyone's eyes gouged out with a knife but Alani's. Even at a young age, Kinzel says he was astounded by the level of manipulation she was capable of and how she was easily able to play family members against each other.
After exhausting every option available to the Kinzel family, they finally had to put Alani in respite care. The reaction they received was not what was expected as she was elated to be getting a new mother and father. She even told her brother, who cared for her since her birth, that he wasn't her brother any longer. After spending time in respite, a worker there called and told the Kinzel family that they wouldn't be safe with her living in the home. She needed to be an only child.
Sadly, this isn't anything uncommon in the adoption community. RAD is very prevalent in children adopted within the United States, and often more prevalent when adoption happens from orphanages outside of the US. In some extreme cases, parents that give up custody of their adopted children because of these severe psychological problems can be charged criminally for doing so, regardless of why it happens. Often times, years of therapy and medication are the only things that work in helping these children, and sometimes, it isn't effective.

Speaking Sunday at SLC's First Unitarian Church, environmental activist-turned-theologian Tim DeChristopher said something that will come as a shock to many of his supporters—he will not pursue a pardon and would turn one down if offered.
His conviction in federal court makes DeChristopher a felon, meaning some states may bar him from voting and other civil rights and, to most of society, he will carry a social stigma for the rest of his life. But DeChristopher says his 21 months in prison taught him non-violent felons are an oppressed group—the victims of shame, racism, poverty and discrimination. Yet, many of his supporters and friends were astounded to learn he had made close friends in prison, he says. "The majority of felons are non-violent people like me. ... They'll live as second-class citizens, always remembered for the worst thing they did in their lives."
"I'm grateful for it (his incarceration)," DeChristopher said, explaining his lock up gave him time for reflection, tested his values and forced him to develop empathy for his fellow felons, a group that is misunderstood even by many liberals.
"The main thing that is taught by prison is shame," he said. "And it destroys people's lives."
DeChristopher challenged the church full of supporters who came to see him off to Harvard Divinity School to stop seeing non-violent felons—many imprisoned on mandatory minimum drug charges— as "the other." (U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder seems to agree.)
"I think this church needs to stand up on the side of this oppressed community," he said, urging the Unitarians to reach out to other freed convicts as they had to him.
DeChristopher, who went to prison for disrupting a 2008 federal oil lease auction in an environmental protest, also has a message for friends who think he "didn't deserve" to go to prison for his civil disobedience. In prison, he realized he also "didn't deserve" all the advantages he has had in life—including a privileged background, a loving family and a good education.
"I can't say I deserved those anymore than I deserved to go to prison."

I love this time of year. The weather is perfect for keeping the windows wide open, post-dinner walks around the neighborhood, and ... I think I am almost done rearranging furniture and shelves and I might only have 7 or 8 boxes left to unpack. Three of which contain books that I have run out of room for. It might be time for another shelf...somewhere... I keep putting off those last few boxes in place of going for an evening walk, or sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. I'm pretty sure those boxes will still be here in August when its 375 degrees outside. But for right now, all I want to do is be outside, smell the air and drink up the sun.
I also don't really feel like spending forever in the kitchen. I want to be outside, not standing over the stove, so I've been looking for meals to cook pretty fast. We all liked this pasta dish. It was fairly quick to prepare, it was healthy for a pasta dish with cheese and bacon in it (my favorite kind of pasta dish, by the way, haha). And it tasted great! Leftovers the next day were great, too! It was a nice spin on homemade mac and cheese, but it took a quarter of the time to do it!
|"Mom, how about you stop taking pictures so we can eat?"
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
1 slice applewood smoked bacon
8 ounces chicken breast, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 TBSP canola oil
1 TBSP flour
1 1/2 cups fat free milk (I did use whole, because thats what I had)
1/3 cup fat free cream of mushroom soup
3/4 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp fresh chopped dill
1/8 tsp salt
cooking spray
1/2 cup shredded colby jack cheese
Cook pasta according to directions.
In a large non-stick skillet, cook the bacon until crisp.
Remove from pan (reserve the drippings) and chop. Set aside.
Add chicken to the pan and saute for 6 minutes or until done. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, pour in the oil and then sprinkle in the flour.
Cook evenly for two minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Whisk the milk and soup together and slowly add the milk to the saucepan, whisking as you add so you don't get any clumps.
Bring to a low boil and cook for 2 minutes, or until thick.
Remove from heat and let stand for 4 minutes.
Add the cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, dill, and salt, and stir until the cheese melts.
Stir in the pasta and chicken.
Preheat your broiler.
Spoon the mixture into an 8" square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Sprinkle the bacon and colby jack cheese evenly over the top.
Broil, for 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Monte Carlo Frameworks in C++
- support for OO and generic programming (in particular C++ templates are extremely flexible ... someone mentioned Turing complete)
- direct discovery of patterns that allow developers to plug in their own models, payoffs etc.
- Performance
- The abiliy to migrate the framework to MPI and OpenMP environments, thus allowing us to run parts of the application concurrently (for example, calculating option price and sensitivities)
- We now have some maintainable libraries that can be used
C# is a good language but it is more suitable for desk top environments. The combination of C++/CLI and C# in .NET seems like a good idea; one language for I/O, GUI and so on, and the other one for distributed number crunching. C++/CLI is like C++ but has a number of extensions that take some geting use to.
Edit: had some feedback on this blog; for the record let me say that I know C# well so my personal conclusions are not based on a one-sided analysis or ignorance of C#.

Reports are out that James Franco tried to hook up with an underage girl on Instagram which is of course not going over well. On April 3, Gawker shared about this sex offense that could have been committed if they prove it really happened.
This happened on Instagram and the man tried to schedule a hotel hook up with a 17-year-old. It appears that it was James Franco that did it, but if not it was someone that looked just like him. The girl met the real James Franco while in New York City and took an Instagram video of him with fans.
She tagged him and then they started to flirt back and forth. In the messages, she told James that she was not quite 18 yet and he talked about renting a hotel room for them. James later went to his official Instagram and said, "I HOPE PARENTS KEEP THEIR TEENS AWAY FROM ME. Thank you."
The thing is he sent her pictures to prove it was him and they look just like James Franco. At this time, there is no real proof that it was besides those and James isn't saying anything besides the one random Instagram post.

After its unbanning and during the run-up to the national general elections of 1994, the ANC issued a number of policy documents. Subsequent to the 1994 elections, the ANC's policies are contained in election manifestos and the declarations and resolutions of national conference.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

Martin Chuzzlewit, Chapter III, page 9. 9.4 cm x 13.8 cm. Scanned image and text by Philip V. Allingham. [You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the person who scanned the image and (2) link your document to this URL.](1870s) illustration by Fred Barnard for Dickens's
Whereas Phiz thirty years earlier had chosen Pecksniff and his daughters snugly and smugly ensconced in their parlour as his subject for Chapter 2, Barnard moves from his initial, uncaptioned plate depicting PecksniffÕs having taken a tumble at the foot of his own steps in Chapter 2 (p. 1) to the snuggery of the village public house and its proprietress. Pecksniff has been summoned by Mrs. Lupin to lend a professional opinion as to the state of health of the elderly gentleman just taken ill upon the road. Since the letterpress has already introduced readers to both the figures in and the setting of this second illustration, Barnard could simply have provided a portrait of the cheery publican, the Widow Lupin, "broad, buxom, comfortable, and good looking" (Ch. 3) whose visage betokens "hearty participation in the good things of the larder and the cellar," but he has not. Ample-skirted and "comely" as in Dickens's description, Barnard's Mrs. Lupin is neither "dimpled" nor "plump," if we may judge by her profile. As in the novel, she is shown seated by her fireside in the little back parlour. Pecksniff has removed his hat, but has yet to enter and remove his gloves in order to warm his hands before the fire. Made apprehensive by the old gentleman's suspicious nature and pointed interrogation of her in the sick-chamber (the scene Phiz had chosen to depict) minutes earlier, Mrs. Lupin swings around in her chair as Pecksniff announces his benign and soothing presence in customary, oily manner. (A little more obsequiousness accompanied by writhing of the hands and we would have Uriah Heep foreshadowed.) Barnard has filled in the bulk of the parlour scene from his own imagination, providing such details as the mother cat and two kittens (right), Mrs. Lupin's stitchery on the candle-lit table (centre), and the open shelves on either side of her dutch door, none of which constitutes the sort of emblemmatic significance with which Phiz imbued his scenes. Pecksniff, his dress and figure providing visual continuity from the opening illustration, is upstage centre, ready to play the role of the amiable and concerned professional man bent on performing an altruistic act. This second plate, then, sets us up for the third in Barnard's sequence: the sanctimonious hypocrite and the irascible, suspicious patient.
Dickens, Charles. The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit, with 59 illustrations by Fred Barnard. Household Edition. London: Chapman and Hall, 1871-1880. The copy of the Household Edition from which this picture was scanned was the gift of George Gorniak, Editor of The Dickens Magazine, whose subject for the fifth series, beginning in January 2008, was this novel.

The time has come to discuss again what to do with Downtown Greenwood. While there are mixed feelings on this subject we really need to consider why we are going nowhere. I think its because no one has come up with a plan to take all the ideas from every corner and put them into a plan. People really need to start thinking out of the box and into the future by way of the past. All the ideas in the world can not come to fruitation if nothing can be done with politics, pen and paper. Of all the groups I have not seen anyone come forward to have more open discussions. Last time they had a meeting was back in 2008 and although it takes time and money how can we possibly see anything behind closed doors?
We can't! So I'm going to jump on the probervial soap box and tell you what I found in a report. I think it might open us up to more discussions, more community support and for those who have been keeping quiet to suddenly speak up.
How can we not speak up about something so important as the revitalization on our own town, our beloved community of families who down through the ages have passed story after story for generations to take hold of the good times that were had by all. It really wasn't that long ago people.
I have spoken to those who remember what Downtown Greenwood was like back in the day and to the future kids who remember what those old folks told them. We have to mesh the two together and get going on a plan that makes what was so fun and mememorable in the past to what can become new again for generations to come.

We've come to the point in our relationship with Diddy where we're no longer surprised to see him turn up in non-musical situations. From the streets of New York City, Broadway, the White House and most likely your next family reunion, every big event in one's life is somehow made better with a dash of Sean Combs. The consummate multihyphenate made himself part of NBA All-Star Weekend's Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night, coming to the aid of Houston Rockets' Chase Budinger. After some painful White Man Can't Jump banter, the strawberry blonde proved us all wrong with a soaring one-handed dunk over the genius mind that once helped mold the careers of Biggie and this. While he may have left as the night's runner-up to the Utah Jazz's Jeremy Evans, but here's hoping Budinger got at least one high-profile Facebook friend out of this exchange, or an invite to this year's White Party.
Now that Diddy's launching his own TV network, we expected People Who Can Jump Over Sean to be a regular series. Watch below.

Money and music -- what a marriage. Go together like a horse and carriage. We speak not just of the making of money, but the many mentions of it in song. How clued in are you to cash references in the realm of music? Our melodic cash-quiz awaits your clicks.
Along with moons and Junes and achy-breaky hearts, money has been one of the more common leitmotifs in music, both lyrically and in terms of titles. But today's rappers -- yes, as opposed to those who flourished in Shakespearean times -- have not only come up with all sorts of clever coinages for cold cash in their music, they've also invented some really rich ways to reference themselves. To wit: the hip-hop duo that calls itself EPMD, which stands for:
Easy Pay My Dudes.
Extra Pesos Mucho Dinero.
Erick and Parrish Making Dollars.
OK, let's do just one more rapper with a really cool, clever and inventive cash-worthy name. Here's a hint: He recently left the scene, though for reasons we'll explain in the answer. His name actually incorporates a dollar sign in lieu of a letter. Now that's inventive. Name that once-rich rapper:
Ca$h Down.
Ca$h Out.
Let's go back a little further, to the very roots of rock 'n' roll, and one of the true masters of the genre, Chuck Berry. No Money Down was Berry's 1956 ode to a:
Um, you know, ''working girl.''
Little pink house.
Next stop: next decade. The year was 1963 and the fine folkies in the Kingston Trio made the Billboard charts with a hit song telling us how they didn't give a damn about:
One red cent.
A greenback dollar.
Silver threads and golden needles.
Back into the time tunnel with ya. The year's 1954. Tell us how many coins were in that famed fountain –- the Oscar-winning song about it bears the same name as the movie that showcased it.
One hundred – one for each broken heart.
''Old man Depression, you are through, you done us wrong!'' Our time capsule has taken us to the year 1933, and this song –- the above's a sample lyric -– from the musical Gold Diggers, heralds the good news in its very title -– and throughout the upbeat ditty -– that:
My Man's Rich –- and Has one Foot in the Grave!
We Hit the Mother Lode.
We're in the Money.
Whoosh! We've time-traveled up to the '70s. Listen, and you can hear: ''Money, it's a gas/Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.'' Who are these wealth-worshippers (or poseurs as such)?
Pink Floyd.
Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Simply Red.
Step up a decade now, to 1985. That was the year we learned that if ''you play the guitar on the MTV,'' you can get:
''Money in a lump sum and checks for free.''
''Money for nothin' and chicks for free.''
He liked Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony tail a hangin' down. But, alas, as he wailed over the phone line to the object of his affections, ''I ain't got noooo money, honey.'' Who was this broke would-be lothario?
The Big Bopper.
Ritchie Valens.
The Beatles musically declared that they didn't care too much for money, because it – as per the title of their 1964 song – Can't Buy Me Love. To prove how unwedded they were to their wealth, they offered, in that song, to buy us the following, ''if it makes you feel alright.''
A coat made of virgin mink.
A diamond ring.
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.

| Title:
|Trucks Used Underground to Transport Explosives -- Inspection Record; Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Approval of Information Collection (Paperwork) Requirements.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
[Docket No. ICR-99-7]
Trucks Used Underground To Transport Explosives -- Inspection Record; Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Approval of Information Collection (Paperwork) Requirements
AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); Labor.
ACTION: Notice of an opportunity for public comment.
SUMMARY: OSHA solicits comments concerning the proposed reduction, and extension of, the information collection requirements contained in the standard on Trucks Used Underground to Transport Explosives (29 CFR 1926.903(e)) -- Inspection Certification.
The Agency is particularly interested in comments on the following:
Whether the information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, including whether the information is useful;
The accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply, for example, by using automated, electronic, mechanical, and other technological information and transmission collection techniques.
DATES: Submit written comments on or before August 30, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Docket Office, Docket No. CR-99-7, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-2625, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20210; telephone; (202) 693-2350. You may transmit written comments 10 pages or less in length by fascimile to (202) 693-1648.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen Martinez, Directorate of Policy, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Room N-3605, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone: (202) 693-2444. A copy of the Agency's Information Collection Request (ICR) supporting the need for the information collection requirements on Trucks used Underground to Transport Explosives -- Inspection Certification is available for inspection and copying in the Docket Office, or you may request a mailed copy by telephoning Kathleen Martinez at (202) 693-2444 or Barbara Bielaski at (202) 693-2444. For electronic copies of the ICR on Trucks used Underground to Transport Explosives -- Inspection Certification, contact OSHA on the Internet at http://www.osha-slc-gov.
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments clearly understood, and the impact of information collection requirements on respondents properly assessed. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the cause and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657).
II. Proposed Actions
The inspection certification required in 29 CFR 1926.903(e) is necessary to assure compliance with the requirement for inspection of the electrical system in trucks used for the undergound transportation of explosives. The inspection assures that the truck have a weekly maintenance check of the electrical system to detect any failures which may constitute an electrical hazard. Employers must prepare and retain a cerification record of the inspection.
OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB to extend the approval of the information collection requirements contained in the Truck used Underground to Transport Explosives -- Inspection Certification (29 CFR 1926.903(e)).
Type of Review: Extension of currently approved information collection requirements.
Agency: Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Title: Trucks used Underground to Transport Explosives -- Inspection Certification (29 CFR 1926.903(e)).
OMB Number: 1218-0227.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Federal government; state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 1.
Frequency: Weekly.
Average Time per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 9 hours.

Knowledge and Conviction
In the past couple years I've slowly come to the conclusion that the more you know about something, the more difficult it becomes to talk about it with people who are unfamiliar with the topic. Positive psychology is such a thing for me and so is nutrition. When talking about them I will easily go into the specifics - usually the ones I've studied most recently - and fail to … [Read more...]

During the past week or so I have been entertaining the thought that if something requires industrial or chemical processing to make it edible, it simply will not be healthy nor nutritious.

So far I have not been able to think … [Read more...]

Being healthy: There's more to it than not being sick
How do you feel today? Energetic? Tired? Frustrated? Awesome? Sad? Happy? Positive? Sick? Coming down with something?

If the answer is no, you start looking backwards in time and … [Read more...]

Back in elementary school, a typical activity in Language Arts was journaling. At that time, we were encouraged to write whatever came to mind and to let our creativity flow. Sometimes we wrote about what we learned in class, other times we wrote about excitement over an upcoming holiday. Regardless of what was in our journal, it was an activity that laid a good foundation for remembering and writing down our accomplishments.
Today, if you asked your friends, family, or co-workers if they regularly write in a journal, chances are they will say no. If they do, it may not be something they are diligent about or it may not have a purpose other than to be a place to pour one's heart out to.
Journaling can be a really amazing career tool, if used with a purpose and a goal, and if used often.
Here are just a few ideas of what a career journal could be used for:
- Keeping track of development opportunities and work milestones.
- Contemplating issues you struggle with and how you might work through those.
- Writing down project ideas or discoveries.
- Taking notes on new tasks you're learning so you can refer back to them later, if needed.
- Writing practice to help you be a better communicator, both written and spoken.
- Keeping a record of your overall career path so you can go back and read through your journey when you are getting ready to retire.
The beauty of having your own career journal is you can make it what you need it to be, depending on where you are in your profession. When you first start your career journal, you may simply use it to record things you are learning or taking part in. Eventually it may evolve into a place where you write down ideas, reflect on project outcomes and work experiences, or it may become a tool you go back to and read through to see how you have developed.
It can be a fun and rewarding experience to have a career journal and it's even more enjoyable to have a written record of your career life to re-experience or even share with others.

Safe Toys
I wonder if Cinderella's tiara was coated with lead paint, cadmium and mercury? Doubt it. There's a new report out showing the hazards with some toys, and this includes everything from lead paint to choking. As a journalist this did not surprise me, because we often hear about toy recalls, but as a mom, this really frustrates me.
Here's the scoop. The Ohio Public Interest Research Group, or PIRG, purchased and tested all kinds of toys, from various stores and brands and found choking hazards or hazardous levels of lead, cadmium and other heavy metals that can be toxic to children. The group laid out a bunch of toys and explained the problems with each of them. Some of them are within federal standards, but PIRG believes they are still dangerous. (The toys are listed on the toy safety website below.) One of the toys was a princess tiara. There are hundreds of the tiaras on the market and a favorite of little girls, including mine. As I'm covering this story, I'm sitting there thinking, "I've got a ton of tiaras just like this one in our playroom." So….how do I know ours are safe? Is it? Should I toss it? My next question was, "how do these toys even get on store shelves?" I didn't like the answer. The Consumer Product Safety Commission cannot do pre-market testing, which means it can only respond to a problem once it is discovered. Until things change on the federal level to prevent toys with lead, cadmium and other toxins from coming into our country, it is in our hands as parents to keep any dangerous toys away from our kids. I know, that stinks. I'd like to be able to trust that the toys I purchase are safe, but I can't. Generally—they are safe, but we often see recalls for toys, jewelry and clothing due to lead paint. It's a revolving door of toys that hit store shelves, only to be pulled later after being tested. I can't tell you how frustrated I am with this.
So what is a parent to do? Do your research, buy green, and when in doubt, toss it out. (Sorry for the rhyme!) Look for toys made in the USA with labels showing they are free of toxic paints and chemicals. Look for toys that are free of phthalates, BPA and lead paint. Choose toys made of natural products, and keep an eye on recalls.
Here are a few websites to help you out with your research and holiday shopping.

Passover, also known as "Pesach" is a widely observed annual Jewish holiday. The Haggadah, also known as the Exodus story, is recited during the dinner celebration about how the Israelites were freed after over 400 years of slavery in Egypt, according to the Hebrew bible. The Bronfman Foundation, the bestselling digital app offered at the Apple App store, has proudly introduced "The Bronfman Haggadah."
The Bronfman Haggadah App for the iPad – collaboration between the late Edgar M. Bronfman, world-renowned philanthropist and Jewish leader and acclaimed artist, Jan Aronson – teaches people of all ages about the story of Passover.
This new app is a great addition to the Passover Seder, conducted by the presentation of symbolic foods arranged on a Seder plate, for family interaction; it lends help for each child, teenager and adult to narrate with illustrations to define Passover.
This is a fresh perspective to use as an additional learning tool alongside a traditional Haggadah.
Users of the app can also purchase the printed version of the Bronfman Haggadah from Barnes and Noble using a quick link on the main page of the app. The app can also be downloaded at iTunes here.
Passover is a special family celebration to commemorate the emancipation of the Israelites from ancient Egypt; "Pesach Sameach," happy Passover to all who celebrate.

text: This Undead Kaiser dunny has been in my head for a while. I tried using enamel paint this time. I'm not in love with it but it is a little smoother than acrylics I used before. Still wish I knew how the pros get super clean lines on these tiny guys. 3 inches tall for those that haven't seen a dunny before. Changed the design a little from the beginning… just couldn't get some details even with my tiny brush.

Kinda Alloush demands freedom of expression
Syrian beauty, Kinda Alloush, is an outspoken critic of current president, Bashar al-Assad, but she's not about to stop other people disagreeing with her.
So when pro-regime movie, 'Al Ashiq' (The Lover) was banned at Cairo International Film Festival, the fiesty actress decided to speak her mind and stand up for freedom of expression everywhere.
In an interview with Al Jarida newspaper this week, the actress said: "we are calling for freedom of expression and to ban it [the film] we are contradicting what we are demanding for the mere fact that it reflects different political views.
"If the film abides by the regulations of the festival and does not contain any messages of terrorism and violence, then it should have been screened and its director should have been given the chance to express his views," she added.
The film is directed and written by Syrian director Abd Al Latif Abd Al Hamid and stars Syrian actors Abdel Minem Amayri, Dima Qandalfat, Jamal Al Ali, Fadi Subaih and Qais Shaikh Najeeb. It was produced by the Syrian General Cinema Institute.

Laredo is home to nine different rec centers, spread out throughout the city. The price for membership use to be ten dollars annually but recently has gone up to fifty dollars. This has caused a problem for people on a fixed income and is why councilman, Alex Perez wants to help.
"We've been getting a lot of calls from older people. They're on a fixed income and can't afford go to these rec centers. Some of these people have disabilities, health problems, and they need to workout.
During the next city council meeting, Perez will discuss a possible fee removal or reduction for veterans, the elderly, and the disabled. Jerry Garcia is a veteran and thinks the proposal is great idea.
"I really think veterans would take advantage of that. I really feel it's beneficial for all veterans."
Garcia admits he's never been to one of the rec centers here in town but says he would check them out if this proposal were to pass.
"I've never gone to one because I stay active. I do a lot of exercise. It's something worth looking into.
Every rec center has a monthly newsletter that lists the different classes they offer throughout the week. You can find zumba, karate, and other active classes, but what would the older generation be into?
"I know they have a track, weight lifting...for older people like me I think a dance class. Something like a dance class would be out of this world."
