Purpose and Program Objectives
The purpose of the ELP is to support the development of effective executive-level leadership among members of the Mayor's cabinet and their senior staff. In addition, this program aims to enhance the supply of executive-level talent across the District by establishing a robust pipeline of Cabinet-ready leaders from which current and future mayors can draw.
Executives who complete the program will be able to:

- Leading and Managing Change—Topics will include developing executive foresight, leading change, managing transition, and more.
- Executive Communication and Political Savvy—Topics will include personal branding, executive communication, political savvy, and more.
- Data Analytics and Critical Thinking—Topics will include performance measurement, performance management, using predictive and prescriptive analytics, and more.
What Does the Program Offer?
Based on feedback from senior executives within the existing District of Columbia workforce, as well as input from the District's Department of Human Resources, the program will last 8 months (September 2015 through April 2016) and will include the following components:
- Small cohort groups to allow opportunities for peer-to-peer interaction and coaching
- Private, one-on-one executive coaching sessions
- Peer learning and coaching sessions in small groups
- Lectures and discussions with leading faculty and subject matter experts

Monday is turning into a great day for prospect debuts, but this one is the most great.
The Situation: Houston is right in the thick of the playoff chase again, and with A.J. Reed struggling to get on base or hit for power upon his promotion, the Astros will instead call on the best prospect in their system, Alex Bregman.
Background: Bregman was a potential second-round selection coming into the 2012 draft out of Albuquerque, but it was clear that he was set on attending LSU, and attend LSU he did. He quickly established himself as one of the best players in college baseball, posting a .963 OPS in his freshman year and quickly became a legit candidate to be the top player taken in the 2015 draft. A so-so sophomore season saw his stock slide ever so slightly, but he hit .323/.412/.535 and was taken second overall by Houston that June. After an impressive first professional season, Bregman destroyed pitching this spring/summer, posting a 1.016 OPS, earning a trip to the Futures Game (where he nearly hit for the cycle), and becoming one of the best prospects in baseball.

Down the rabbit hole of just how good the fifth-best pitching prospect in baseball is, historically speaking.
There's no more fun certainty on #BaseballTwitter than the certainty that exists about which prospects are going to be awesome. We're all guilty of it at some point, myself included. It gets even worse when a fanbase brands a group of players together, like Generation K or the Killer B's, so when one departs or fails, there's an overwhelming sense of "hey you're breaking up the band." It starts earlier and earlier, with Boston's "Big Four" the latest example. And with Anderson Espinoza heading across the country to meet up with the rest of his former Red Sox farmhands, there is now just a "Big Three."
But rather than view Espinoza as the member of this future foursome who would transform the organization, let's view him as part of a similarly arbitrary group to try to get a sense of the historical significance of what the Padres are getting and the Fightin' Dombrowskis are losing. The right-handed fireballer was the fifth-best pitching prospect in baseball as of last week, when we released the mid-season top 50. And while some slight eligibility discrepancies exist between the mid-season list and The 101, they are mostly muted because the pitchers who have pitched fewer than 50 innings, but were in the majors at the time of publish, are both likely to lose their eligibility prior to the season's end. So who have the fifth-best starting pitching prospects been in the 10 years we, at Baseball Prospectus, have been setting Top 101s ablaze into the ether? And how have they performed before hitting free agency? No, put your phone away.

Yesterday we ranked real prospects. Today we rank statistical amalgamations attributed to said real prospects. Wait, come back.
There's a certain security in knowing that these prospect rankings (fantasy or otherwise) are just merely a snapshot of a moment in time. There's nothing inherent in this moment right now that makes it any more important than one three days from now or one that happened two weeks ago. Yes, there's a culmination of feedback both from the lovely fantasy and prospect staffs we have assembled here at Baseball Prospectus and external sources alike. And every piece of information, every game, every scout tidbit, every strong backing drives you closer and closer to what you believe is the truth. Yet, the truth only exists as long as this snapshot. Tomorrow, there will be new data that leads to a better truth. Or maybe it's a worse truth. Either way:

You've read the rankings and mocks. Now here's the list that matters most for dynasty leaguers.
When it's stated over and over again that the strength of a draft class is its prep pitching, you know as a dynasty leaguer that spells trouble. And when another highly regarded aspect is its catching depth, well, you can see where we're going with this. If last year was a good year to acquire draft picks, especially in the second-third round range, this year is a good time to find those owners who were frustrated they didn't get enough talent last year and try to sell them your picks this year.

How far can you travel in 90 days?I tookJr.'s comments at face value. It's not the paperwork,it's the timing, which he laid out pretty matter offactly. Special dividend required no later than 12/31. Ifpaid in equity securities, S/H's have to have a choiceof 2 or more (some discussion of this here a whileback). S/Hs would have to be given a certain amount oftime to choose. SEC filings would precede that, withattendant prep and review time. Might have to have specialmeeting, too (proxy, notice, etc.) If they started 90 daysfrom now, they might not make it, far as I can tell.For all I know they're working on it now.Theyclaim they're determined to pay cash, though, so theywill try to somehow get someone to come in who addsstrength and credibility.So, now the question,whybother??? The noticeable thing here is that the banksdidn't prevent the special, just put strings on it ifpaid in cash (typical bank type thing). But PZN admitsit doesn't need the cash from the SI at this time(even for the special). So why bother? PZN alone makesthe choice. Paying in securities seems much lessdilutive to me. Or pay partially in cash to cover taxbite.

Sunday's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford stood out not only for the visitors underlining their credentials as Premier League title challengers, but also United's inability to compete against their north-west rivals.
But even after the final whistle, large pockets of supporters remained to voice their support for the team and Mata said he was disappointed the players could not match that level of performance.
"There are no words to describe your support in the stadium," he wrote in his personal online blog.
"In games like that it makes me mad not being able to give you what you deserve.
"I know there is nothing I can say right now but at least I want you to know how I feel."
Mata joined United from Chelsea in January for B£38million but there has been no vast improvement in results, with just three wins from the seven matches he has been involved in, being ineligible for the Champions League defeat to Olympiacos.
However, the 25-year-old believes the experience will make him a better player.
"The storm will pass and the sun will rise again. I have no doubt," said Mata.
"Besides, no one said this would be easy but this is football. It gives you fantastic moments but also very hard times you have to cope with, when you have to show pride and professionalism until the end.
"And when all this is gone I'm sure I will be a more mature footballer."

Does what it says on the tin! Nothing more, nothing less.
That's my kinda plugin! Not bloated, overcomplicated and buggy.
Thanks, saved me a few days of not having to do this myself for a customer.
Edit: This plugin no longer works with the Soliloquy 2.0 update. No begin/end date fields appear on a slide's meta page.
Loved this plugin prior to update. Here's hoping it's updated.
Original Post:
Simple, but does what it is supposed to. Plugin would be five stars if it allowed you to set a time in addition to the date.
The only other thing I could ask for would be setting a time as well. That way I can have the slider show at 8:00am at the same time my post goes live. Currently I'm just setting my posts to 12:00am for seamless awesomeness.
Not happy with this plugin. Worked fine for a couple of weeks then wouldn't allow me to add nes slides or edit existing ones. Found out the it is in chrome that it doesn't work. Works fine in IE and firefox. The author is non responsive. Went to plugin website for resulotion but in order to ask a question you must open a ticket. But to start a ticket you must pay $9.00. I already paid for the plugin.

Today is January 12th, 2012. I live in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, and was thinking about how mild and more pleasant our weather is than usual in Januaries of the past. Yes, it is only a few degrees above freezing, and many of you scoff at that idea because it's unthinkable to you being from more Southern states or tropical countries, but a few degrees above freezing is mild for this time of year.

Exotic Animal Newsflash: I watched on TV tonight that the deadly "Red Tide" algae is toxic and killing animals of all sorts in the St. Lawrence River system in Canada. Belugas, birds, porpoises, fish, mollusks…you name it, it's affected. It moves up the food chain, and in the case of whales, like belugas, they feel it affects their brain and makes them slower and confused, making them more likely to collide with boats.

Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
Wayne Bethea
Labeled 'Mr. Opponent' by his manager, Bobby Gleason of New York.
The 6' 0" 200 lb. New York Heavyweight looked like he was going to make some
'waves' in the Heavyweight Division, but some losses in 1955 set him back.
But in 1956, several 'upset' victories over;
May............(W Dec 10)...Ezzard Charles
September....(TKO 5).......Joe Bygraves
November....(W Dec 10)...Howie Turner
Put the 24 year-old Wayne Bethea at 13-4-2 (6 KO's), and earned him a #10 Heavyweight ranking.
Back-to-back 'Split-Decision' losses to 'highly regarded' Zora Folley in (11/56) and (1/57) did not
hurt his ranking. Zora later said that Bethea was 'the toughest *******' he ever fought.
In 1957, '3' impressive Decision victories over - Jeff Dyer, Bert Whitehurst and Paul Andrews got
him back to 16-6-2, and moved Wayne up to the #7 Heavyweight.
In September 1957, 197 lb. Wayne lost a 'hard-fought' 10-Round Decision to the 'super talented'
#3 Light-Heavyweight, 181 lb. Harold Johnson in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
But, Wayne bounced back in his next bout in January 1958, with an impressive Decision over
'big' Young Jack Johnson, improving to 17-7-2.
In April 1958, Wayne was matched with the 'Cuban Heavyweight', hard-punching #8-ranked Nino Valdes.
After out-boxing the 'lumbering' Cuban early, Valdes came on strong and floored Wayne in the 7th Round,
enroute to a 'Split-Decision' win. The 'knockdown' was the difference in the bout.
Despite the loss, 26 year-old Wayne Bethea 17-8-2 (6 KO's) still maintained a Top 10 Heavyweight ranking.
Looking for an August 6, 1958 'opponent' for Charles 'Sonny' Liston for a Heavyweight bout at the Chicago Stadium,,,,,

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
Wednesday Night - August 6, 1958
New York Heavyweight, 'Mr. Opponent' Wayne Bethea will test 'Bruiser Heavyweight'
Charles 'Sonny' Liston.
The 6' 0", 204 lb. 'sturdy boxer' is durable, and has been in the ring with some
good punchers, and has stood the test of absorbing hard punches. Bethea
has compiled a record of 17-8-2 (6 KO's), while facing some of the tougher
Heavyweight contenders (ie; Zora Folley, Young Jack Johnson and Nino Valdes)
Bethea, not a particularly hard-puncher, relies more on his boxing ability, which
inclues; good footwork, combination punching and defense. With only '6' knock-outs in his
'28' bouts, Wayne scares no one with his power punch. But, despite his lack of power, Bethea
is an aggressive fighter, who likes to pressure his opponent by getting inside to smother the
other fellow's punches and limit their impact, while scoring with his own short punches to the body.
The 26 year-old New Yorker, is the #9 Heavyweight, and will be a stern test for the 'burly' Mr. Liston,
who now resides in Chicago (formerly from St. Louis).

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
When entering this bout,,,on August 6, 1958
The 6' 1" 205 lb. Sonny Liston, looked 'sleak and moderately' quick.
In this bout, Sonny may have been at his 'quickest' in both hand and foot speed.
Depending on his age, (listed at 26), but in reality age 31. Sonny may have never
looked more awesome.
Though Wayne Bethea was durable, and regarded has having a 'granite chin' -
he still was an absorber (reputation for getting hit).
And 'slow-handed' Nino Valdes did drop him in his previous bout, 4-months earlier.
Wayne Bethea {1958}
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
vs. Sonny Liston
After a 'even' first 30-seconds of the opening round, Sonny Liston lands a counter right-hand over the
left guard of Wayne Bethea, which crashes against his jaw. Bethea is stunned, and Sonny tears into
him with a 'two-fisted' assault.
With Bethea reeling, Sonny unloads with a 12-punch attack, and drops Bethea with a hard right,
and then a wide-sweeping left hook at the 0:41 mark. Bethea crashes to the seat of his pants,
and rises up at '4', but is obviously dazed.
Aftet taking the full '8' count from referee Bernie Weismann, Sonny moves in, and is looking for the
'finisher'. Bethea tries to fight back, but is met with another hard barrage, then with Bethea
stunned again, Liston rips a brutal '7-punch' assault which sends a 'defenseless' Bethea
staggering toward the opposite side of the ring. Referee Bernie Weismann wisely stops the
bout at 1:09 of Round 1.

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
Following the 'disatorous' defeat to Sonny Liston,,,,,,,by a '1st Round' Knock-out
in only 1:09,,,,,,,on August 6, 1958 in Chicago.
Wayne, comes back, 6-months later, with '2' wins over "Baltimore Club-fighters',
* 2/59...(KO 10)........Warnell Lester (14-3-1)
* 3/59...(W Dec 10)...Rudy Watkins (15-14-1)
Which upped his record to 19-9-2 (7 KO's)
On May 22, 1959
Wayne takes on 'hot-n-cold' Argentinian Heavyweight, 24 year-old Alex Miteff 17-3-1 (9 KO's) in
Madison Square Garden. Miteff, who now lives in America, was the #6 Heavyweight in 1957, but
'upset' losses in 1957, 1958 and 1959 dropped him out of the Top 10.
Though Wayne fights well, he is out-muscled by the stronger Miteff, and loses a Unanimous Decision
(L Dec 10).
The loss drops Wayne to 19-10-2 (7 KO's), and out of the Top 20 Heavyweights.
Wayne Bethea, at age 27, calls it quits, and semi-retires for 1-year.
But, in June 1960, at age 28, Wayne Bethea returns, to Detroit, Michigan - to take on undefeated
prospect George Moore 10-0-0 (8 KO's). Moore was the 1955 National AAU Heavyweight Champion,
and is a 'highly regarded Heavyweight'.
In the 10-Round Heavyweight bout, the 217 lb. 'Detroiter' bulls his way to a 'Hometown Split-Decision Win'
over the 's****py veteran opponent'.
By controlling all of the early rounds with his size and strength, George Moore builds up a solid lead.
But, Wayne Bethea rallies some over the last '4' rounds with short body punches, to close the gap
on the young and tiring Heavyweight.

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
amhlilhaus,,,,,,,Thank You Sir
Bobby Gleason, the Manager for Wayne Bethea, labeled him 'Mr. Opponent.'
Usual fee, of $2500, which was not too bad in 1960, for an opponent.
Tuesday Night - July 26, 1960
Attendance; 1500
28 year-old, 208 lb. Wayne Bethea travels to the Pailisades Rink, In McKeever, Pennsylvania
to face local veteran, 32 year-old Heavyweight, 'The Pittsburg Phantom' - Art Swiden.
Art Swiden is at the end of his career. A Pittsburg-area club-fighter, who has posted a
30-17-2 (9 KO's) record. The 6' 1" 190 lb. veteran, still can box a little, but does not
possess much of a punch.
For '3' Rounds, 'The Pittsburg Phantom' makes Wayne Bethea look slow, as he jabs
and counters the New York Heavyweight with ease.
In Round 4, the light-punching Swiden floors Bethea, with a counter right-hand and
short left hook. Bethea is not hurt, but he is also not the 'tough' fighter he once was.
Over the next '6' rounds, the Pittsburg veteran jabs and counters the rushes from the
slow and 'slightly pudgy' Bethea, and cruises to an 'easy' (W Dec 10) victory.
Wayne Bethea falls to 19-12-2

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
After a quick win on August 10, 1960 (KO 5) over 'cannon-fodder' Ike Thomas in
Hamilton, New York,,,,,,,
Wayne hits the local New York Boxing Gyms, as a 'paid' sparring partner.
The 28 year-old, now a 'Journeyman-Opponent', at 20-12-2 (8 KO's) is now
more-or-less, a 'record-padder' for any up-and-coming' prospect.
Monday - December 5, 1960
Up-start Chicago Heavyweight, 21 year-old Ernest 'Ernie' Terrell 19-2-0 (10 KO's) is
looking for a 'worn-out' veteran to add to his building record. The 6' 6" 195 lb.
rail-thin boxer, is the Illinois Heavyweight Champion, and is on the verge of breaking
into the Top 20 Heavyweight ranks.
A bout is set scheduled for the Marigold Gardens, an outdoor arena in the North Side
of Chicago. It is the North Side's premier boxing and wrestling arena, where a crowd
of 2500+ usually attend the Monday-Night events.
The opponent, New York Heavyweight Wayne Bethea, is a 'pudgy' 212 lbs. on his 6' 0"
frame. The 195 lb. Terrell, is a string-bean, with minimal muscle-mass.
In the early going, it is 'tall' Ernie who uses his long left jab to score and keep the
stronger veteran away. But, with each passing round, Bethea is able to get closer
and closer, and starts to score with good body shots, which slows the Chicago-prospect
down to a stationary target.
By Round 7, Terrell is not moving, and Bethea starts landing harder punches, which
wobble the gangly prospect. Wayne, sweeps the last '3' Rounds, by mauling Terrell into
the ropes, and scores with short chopping punches, as Terrell is on the
complete defensive.
Wayne Bethea scores an 'upset' and wins by 'Split-Decision'.

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
This thread really puts d Liston and post Marchegiano era in (good/realistic) perspective . Young Jack Johnson , Wayne Bethea as top 10 heavyweights . And they deserved their ranking in that awful era . Bethea really is 1 of Liston's biggest wins , I couldn't grasp it in d past but i do now due 2 this thread . Does it make me respect Liston more ? no . It only reinforces my previous opinion / impression on that era , a **** era . Winning a decision over a 35 years old Ezzard Charles , whom was far from a monster heavyweight even in his best days should not have been considered as n upset even then , after all , Charles' age was known as well as his other performances near that age .
And then on top of it all , "top contender" Ernie Terrell loses what seems 2b a justified decision 2 a faded never was that much Wayne Bethea . Later Terrell would become 1 of Ali's top victims during his "prime" , when Ali cheated but still failed 2 stop him .

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
Frank 2x,,,
Correct,,,,,,,though I am a big Charles 'Sonny' Liston fan,
The ''knock-out" victory over Wayne Bethea,,,,,,,,over-blown a bit.
Wayne, was durable yes, but he was slow and had 'no' punch. And yet, at 6' 0"
205 lbs. he was considered one of the 'bigger heavyweights' in the late-50's.
He was, a much quicker fighter from November 1955 thru January 1958, where he
went 11-3-0 (3 KO's), with his only Decision losses coming to the streaking
25-year-old Zora Folley (2x) and #3 Light-Heavyweight Harold Johnson.
But, by early 1958, the 26 year-old soon fell into that non-aggressive 'Journeyman-Opponent' role.
The victory over 'string-bean' Ernie Terrell in 1960, did show how poor the Top #11 thru #20
Heavyweights were at that time.
I would liken Wayne Bethea to that of maybe,,,,,,,,,,,,, Johnny Boudreaux.

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
December 19, 1960
The 28 year-old Wayne Bethea, now becomes 'Mr. Travelling Opponent', as he heads
out to the northwest, to Portland, Oregon - to tangle with the #3 Heavyweight, 'Fast Eddie' Machen 34-3-1.
Bethea, hangs tough, as he battles '10' good rounds with arguably the best 'pure'
boxer in the Heavyweight Division.
'Fats Eddie' Machen, scores a 'solid' (W Dec 10) over Wayne, by winning '7' out of 10 Rounds.
One-month later, in January 1961, Wayne Bethea 21-13-2 (8 KO's) finds himself in Omaha, Nebraska
as an opponent for 'local upstart' Heavyweight, 'The Golden Boy' Billy Nielson 4-0-1 (4 KO's).
The 28 year-old New York Heavyweight, schools the young and strong Omaha Heavyweight,
by taking him into 'deep waters' and batters the exhausted 'Golden Boy' into a 'bloody mess'
and stops him by a (TKO 7).
Riding an impressive win, Wayne shoots over to Houston, Texas in February 1961 -
to take on 'Knockout-Artist', #9 Heavyweight - Cleveland 'Big Cat' Williams 48-4-0 (40 KO's).
The 'Big Cat' opens up early, and attempts to flatten the durable Bethea, as he lays
left hook after left hook on the veteran 'plodder. By Round 4, Williams settles down, and
scores from long range with left jabs, building a soild lead on the scorecard.
Bethea, starts his typical late-fight rally in Round 8, and scores with good body punches
while trying to pin Williams down. The New Yorker scores with good 1-2's over the last
'2' Rounds, but again, it is 'too little too late', as Cleveland Williams wins a 'convincing'
10 Round Decision.
Wayne Bethea, falls to 22-14-2 (9 KO's).

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
The obvious 'certification' that Wayne Bethea was now a 'full-fledged' 'Journeyman.
March 27, 1961
Spokane, Washington
The now 29 year-old Heavyweight, at 206 lbs. was turning into a 'lumbering plodder'.
Bethea's opponent, 21 year-old Kirk Barrow, a 6' 0" - 183 lb. boxer-puncher with a
record of 21-4-1 (11 KO's).
Kirk Barrow's claim to fame, the Pacific Northwest Light-Heavyweight and Heavyweight
Primarily a Light-Heavyweight, the Spokane boxer will occassionally fight Heavyweights
at 185 lbs.
Kirk Barrow uses Wayne Bethea as a 'sparring-partner' as he beats a steady tatoo of
jabs into the 'slow' Heavyweights head. Barrow, scores with solid shots in Rounds 4 and 5,
bloodying Bethea's mouth.
Bethea tries to make a go of it in the 'middle rounds', but the 'speedy' Barrow uses his
footwork to say out of harm's way. Kirk Barrow picks up the pace over the slowing
Bethea, and scores easily over the last '3' rounds, for an 'easy' 10 Round Decision win.
{Scorecards; 97-92 / 98-93 / 98-95}

Re: Wayne Bethea 'Mr. Opponent'
nice article. i'd like to ask where you get your information from? my great uncle, larry closson, was wayne bethea's trainer. we called him uncle bud when I was a kid. I remember him vaguely. he was pretty old back then, and I was too young to pick his brain. I would've loved to talk to him about boxing. I always wondered what gym they trained out of, what other fighters he trained, how he got his start in boxing, and anything else about him and his boxing and training careers...

I need to prevent my users from accessing the dashboard. I'm baffled as to why the default behaviour allows it in the first place, I'm totally bewildered that there isn't an option somewhere to stop subscribers seeing the Dashboard!
I would have thought this was a very basic requirement for a site with any sort of membership structure. You want them to see your site, not the WordPress backend! Only Admins and editors need access to that area to publish content.
I've tried using the Customize Your Community plug-in, and it works to a certain degree. But, when logged in there is a "Site Admin" link in the sidebar that all users are shown. Clicking on it takes them to the WordPress Dashboard. When they are there they can't do anything, but that's not the point, they shouldn't be able to see it in the first place!
See for yourself at http://www.techietalk.co.uk I don't know how to sort this out. What I want to do is have that menu for admins, but everyone else should only have access to their profile.
Can anyone help me sort this out?
