As long-time residents of Manhattan, Salvatore Piazzolla and Grant Wilfley look forward to times when they can escape the city and head to the Hamptons for fun in the sun. What neither of the pair looks forward to is sunburn or premature signs of aging related to their time outdoors. When their search for the perfect sunscreen to protect their skin proved frustrating and ultimately fruitless, the two men decided to formulate their own product that would please sun worshippers in the Hamptons and beyond. Their collection, the Hampton Sun range, contains a variety of smart solutions for effective sun protection.
The Hampton Sun skin care collection features only products with broad-spectrum protection to shield the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. In addition, the formulas are enriched with antioxidants, making them capable of fighting free radical damage related to UV exposure as well. All of the formulas are tested to ensure that they are hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types. Get serious about protecting your skin and enjoy your time in the sun with Hampton Sun products.
Hampton Sun is much more than a collection of prestige sun protection products. Founders Salvatore Piazzolla and Grant Wilfley have created luxurious formulas that are extremely beneficial for the skin.
To start, they've sourced the finest botanical ingredients to naturally nourish and fortify your skin. Aloe vera is a proven hydrator and skin softener, and can make sunscreen products more effective. Aloe vera also cools the skin after a day spent outdoors in the sun. Grape seed oil, emblica fruit extract, and green tea oil are all potent antioxidants. By halting free radicals, they help to repair and prevent the signs of aging. Almond oil, jojoba oil, and walnut oil are conditioning agents. They protect your skin from the drying effects of the sun. Both ginger extract and ginko biloba stimulate circulation, which results in firmer, more radiant skin. Seaweed is an exfoliant. It gently removes the dead skin cells that dull your complexion. And fermented red raspberry, called erythulose, helps a sunless tan look natural and last longer.
Hampton Sun takes these botanicals and combines them with the most progressive sun care technology available. The formulas feature ingredients that keep damaging UV rays from penetrating your skin. Some of these ingredients reflect the rays and others absorb them. To meet the needs of their discerning clientele, Hampton Sun offers a range of SPF in their products, including 45 and 70 for babies and kids.
In addition to high-end skincare, Hampton Sun also offers a fragrance, Privet Bloom, inspired by the flowering plant that is synonymous with the Hamptons.
Whether you spend every day in the sun or your time outdoors is limited, you need daily protection from the sun's harmful rays. Hampton Sun Products are a must whether you're working outdoors or heading to the beach or pool for a day of fun. These environmentally friendly products allow you to enjoy your time in the sun without having to worry about sun damage caused by the powerful UVA and UVB rays. Hampton Sun Products include a range of products suitable for you, no matter your sun protection needs. You can discover an easy-to-apply mist sunscreen or a daily moisturizer infused with SPF to protect your skin as it offers anti-aging benefits.
If you want to soak up some of the sun's rays, Hampton Sun Products encourage you to do it safely. You can find tanning gels that are rich in antioxidants, leaving your skin soft and smooth rather than drying it out. You can nourish skin that has spent too much time in the sun with refreshing and rehydrating sprays and mists. Before you go in the sun, invest in Hampton Sun Products to pamper and protect your skin.
Prevent sun damage by choosing Hampton Sun Products for all of your skin care needs. You can deliver broad spectrum sun protection with these powerful but soothing products, allowing you to protect your skin from sun damage and encourage moisture retention. Choose a product that suits your needs today.
Enjoy broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection with Hampton Sun SPF 55 Continuous Mist Sunscreen. Easy to apply, this sunscreen comes in a non-aerosol mist that allows you to easily cover every inch of your skin. This formula includes FDA-designed polycrylene, which makes the sunscreen more water resistant and, thus, more effective. This formula features vitamins A, C, E, aloe vera, and moisturizing agents that replenish and nourish your skin, as it protects it.
Hampton Sun SPF 35 Continuous Mist Sunscreen is a hypoallergenic formula that delivers effective UVA and UVB protection to your skin. This water-resistant formula enhances UVA protection, and you can easily apply this mist all over your body. Antioxidants, aloe vera, and moisturizing agents ensure that your skin is replenished while it remains protected from the sun's damaging rays.
Your child's sensitive skin needs a gentle but effective sunscreen. Hampton Sun SPF 70 for Kids Continuous Mist Sunscreen was designed with children's needs in mind, delivering powerful protection in an eco-friendly formula. Your kids might jump in and out of the water all day, but their sunscreen will still work thanks to this sunscreen, which you can apply to wet or dry skin. Thanks to its easy-to-apply mist, you can quickly and effectively protect your child's skin with this kid-friendly sunscreen.

OAKLAND -- Behind closed locker room doors, the Warriors talked among themselves about what needed to change after a 103-94 loss to lowly Cleveland.
Golden State blew an 18-point first-half lead Friday and then went quietly as its defense faltered against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
"We can't rely on our offense to win us every single game," Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. "That just needed to be said."
Curry poured in 27 points and dished out eight assists on his 26th birthday, but with Klay Thompson missing the game and some of his teammates in a funk, the Warriors couldn't recover after allowing the largest comeback win by an opponent this season.
The Cavaliers entered the game 15 game under .500 and appeared to be just what the Warriors needed playing at home to get back on track, but Golden State ended up losing consecutive games for the first time since January.
"Terrible loss," Curry said.
"Everything went bad," said coach Mark Jackson, who Curry said "got into" the team after the game.
Jackson was particularly annoyed that following a 36-point second quarter from Cleveland, the Cavaliers scored 32 more in the third quarter.
"That's not our brand of defense," he said. "I don't care who we're facing. For us, it's a recipe for disaster and is unacceptable. That's the biggest thing that bothered me and bothered us."
When the time came for the Warriors to attempt to cut into a lead, they were unable to get stops on defense, as Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters hit big shots for Cleveland down the stretch.
Spencer Hawes led the Cavaliers with 22 points and 13 rebounds, Waiters had 18, and Irving and Luol Deng added 16 apiece.
Draymond Green matched a career high with 18 points, and David Lee had 13 of his 16 points in the first half, but the Warriors also committed 17 turnovers.
Harrison Barnes, who replaced Thompson in the lineup, scored six points, missing both his 3-point attempts, each of his four free throw tries, and a layup on a fast break that would have cut a fourth-quarter lead to single digits.
Even while Curry heated up in the second half and finished 5 for 10 from 3-point range, he had little help. Thompson missed his first NBA game attending his grandfather's funeral, and the Warriors missed him on both ends of the floor.
Needing only the opening 5:41 to race out a 16-point lead after Andre Iguodala hit back-to-back 3-pointers, the Warriors finished the first quarter with that lead and pushed it to 18 in the second.
"Everything was going our way, so that's the thing that's bad about it," Jackson said.
Cleveland responded with a stunning 23-2 run that enabled the Cavaliers to take the lead as the Warriors offense became stagnant. Matthew Dellavedova, the former Saint Mary's star, came off the bench to hit two 3-pointers during that stretch and also dished out three assists.
Clippers beat writers observed O'Neal in a Staples Center hallway initiating a tense conversation with Griffin that ended with a handshake.
O'Neal, who had been assessed a technical foul with 8:55 left after jawing at Griffin during a timeout, said he addressed his postgame conversation Thursday with the NBA office, which did not announce any formal reprimand.
"Things are said during games that necessarily shouldn't be said or done," O'Neal said. "But then as men, you sit down and you talk about it. Or you stand up and you talk about it, and you shake on it and move on."

California's first ballot-box attempt in more than three decades to repeal the death penalty may have failed on Tuesday, but it is likely to inflame the debate over the hot-button issue as the state tries once again to kick-start its indisputably clumsy capital punishment system.
With 53 percent of the state's voters rejecting Proposition 34, both sides tried to claim the political high ground on Wednesday -- each anticipating Californians will be asked again in the near future to either abolish the death penalty or, in the case of death penalty supporters, to overhaul the state's legal apparatus to get executions moving more swiftly.
In the meantime, the political feud will take a backstage to the status quo on California's death row, where 726 inmates await execution in a state that has had a moratorium on executions for nearly seven years. Legal challenges to the state's lethal injection method will resume. Death penalty advocates will push the state prison system to adopt a single-drug execution method to short-circuit the court battles. And at least 14 inmates have exhausted their legal appeals, raising the prospect California could have an unprecedented spate of executions if the legal obstacles are removed.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe will try to unclog the system next week, when he'll ask a judge to bypass state and federal court orders halting executions by allowing the state to immediately put condemned killer Robert Fairbank to death with a single lethal drug. California's three-drug procedure has been blocked by the courts for years, but death penalty supporters say California can join other states such as Washington, Arizona and Ohio in using the lone drug option.
"A lot of things slowed down with this initiative on the horizon," said Douglas Berman, an Ohio State University law professor. "The pregnant question going forward in California is, OK, with (Proposition 34) cleared out, do we get a serious progression toward executions and, then, what's the public response to that going to be?"
Death penalty foes may not wait. In their view, the 53-47 percent vote against Proposition 34 showed that California is moving toward abolition, given the fact more than 70 percent of the voters put the law on the books in 1978. While not pinpointing when the issue could return to the ballot, they made it clear Wednesday there could be a repeat campaign -- and this one raised more than $7 million compared to a few hundred thousand Proposition 34 opponents gathered.
"Fifty-three percent is not a mandate for carrying out executions," said Natasha Minsker, Proposition 34's campaign manager.
Law enforcement officials and victims' rights groups disagree. They say the vote shows the public wants executions and that they may push for a ballot measure to streamline the appeals process as soon as 2014.
"The system as it now exists is broken," Wagstaffe said. "But I'm of the belief that it can be fixed because we do have other states that make it happen."
In the wake of Proposition 34's downfall, here is the landscape of California's death penalty situation:
Those two cases are unlikely to be decided at least until well into next year.
"Very few states have succeeded in increasing the number of executions (after periods of delay) without creating a pushback of sorts," Berman said

The victory helped the Cougars improve to 25-12 on the season and 14-7 in SoCon, while it snapped a streak of two weekend series losses for College of Charleston. Samford fell to 21-15 and 10-8 in SoCon play.
Despite surrendering three runs in the top of the first inning, the Cougars tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the first and another six runs in the fourth inning to put the game away. It marked the second time in the series that CofC had answered an opening Samford salvo with a response in the bottom of the inning.
CofC starter Matt Pegler (6-2) settled down after the first inning and got into a groove, holding the Bulldogs off the scoreboard until a solo home run in the sixth frame. Pegler earned the win after pitching 6.0 innings, allowing just four hits and two earned runs. Kyle Owings and David Peterson each came on in relief, with Owings allowing a solo home run in the eighth inning and Peterson threw a perfect ninth frame.
Offensively, Daniel Aldrich led the way with another multi-hit game, going 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs. He finished the weekend with an impressive .538 batting average, scoring five runs and tallying four RBI. Marty Gantt landed two hits, one for an RBI, while also scoring two runs. Gantt boosted his season run total to 43, which leads the Southern Conference.
Bradley Goodson closed out his strong weekend with two runs and an RBI, as he finished the series with a team-best .556 average. Jimmy Holton tallied two hits and scored a run and drove in one, while Brandon Glazer and Dre Watts each registered two RBIs.
Samford starter Kyle Putkonen (2-5) was tagged for six runs, five earned, in just 3.0 innings pitched. He also walked four batters and threw two wild pitches. Outfielder Brandon Miller hit two solo home runs for Samford, his league-leading 13th and 14th long balls of the season. C.K. Irby also tallied two RBIs for the Bulldogs.
Samford amassed three runs in the first inning after Brad Moss walked and Phillip Ervin doubled to left. After a walk to Saxon Butler, Pegler struck out Brandon Miller with the bases loaded and one out, but a passed ball against C.K. Irby allowed Moss to score and the runners to advance. Irby took advantage with a two-out single to put Samford ahead 3-0.
College of Charleston responded in the bottom of the first, as walks to Gantt and Goodson put runners on for Aldrich who loaded the bases with a single. Rob Harding walked in a run and Watts drove in Goodson with a fielders choice groundout. Glazer kept the inning going with a two-out single to score Aldrich and tie the game three apiece.
After both pitchers seemed to settle in, the Cougars jumped on Samford in the fourth inning for six runs on four hits and an error. Gunnar Heidt led off the inning by reaching first on an error by the shortstop and Holton laid down a stellar bunt that found the hole for a hit. A wild pitch advanced the runners for Gantt who singled in Heidt to give the Cougars the lead. Two batters later with the bases loaded, Goodson was hit by a pitch to score a run and then Aldrich singled to score two more. Watts and Glazer drove in two more runs and the Cougars led, 9-3.
The Bulldogs got one run back on a solo home run from Miller in the sixth, but the Cougars responded with an RBI single from Holton in the seventh. Miller homered again in the eighth inning, but the game was already out of reach.
College of Charleston will hit the road on Tuesday for a game at South Carolina. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. and it will be telecast on SportSouth and aired live on ESPN 910 AM.

Combining with soluble bitter compounds to initiate a change in cell activity. These receptors are responsible for the sense of bitter taste.
Combining with an extracellular signal and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex.
The series of events required for a bitter taste stimulus to be received and converted to a molecular signal.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
The series of events required to receive a bitter taste stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.

Sometimes, you have to give the people what they want.
In response to query after query from fans of her PBS holiday specials and guides to entertaining, local chef and author Christy Rost recently launched a YouTube channel devoted to fresh, budget-friendly suggestions and solutions for seasonal gatherings, everyday meals, do-it-yourself projects and more.
"It's not unusual for me to receive emails from viewers that say, 'Oh, Christy, where else can I see you? Where else can I see what you're doing in other areas?'" Rost said. "So this was kind of my answer to what some of my fans have been asking for. They've been asking for me to share more how-tos with them, and they want to watch."
Sharing a passion
The series of instructional videos, titled "Christy Rost Cooks: Celebrating Life & Home," can be found at www.youtube.com/user/christyrostcooks and is mostly filmed at Rost's home, Swan's Nest, in Breckenridge. Rost said she's wanted to start the project for a couple of years as a way to share her passion for home and family, cooking and decorating. In January, the time seemed right, and the concept was put into motion.
"It wasn't difficult to figure out what I wanted to do," Rost said. "It's kind of a natural extension of what I'm always doing anyway, but now I get to share it with lots of people, in particular, my Facebook friends."
The inaugural video about simple touches to spice up your Mardi Gras table setting was posted to the YouTube channel on Sunday, March 2. The second video, which is now online, shows how to bake a simple Irish soda bread for St. Patrick's Day. Rost said new videos would be posted about every 10 days to two weeks.
"It's going to feature cooking, home decor, gardening, cocktail parties, wine pairings — all the things that I love to do, and so it will be very seasonal, which I think is really important," she said.
Rost said she is already experiencing one of the things she was looking forward to getting from the YouTube channel: instantaneous reviews.
immediate feedback
"It's really fun to get immediate feedback," she said, "because with a television show, it's filmed so far ahead and there are so many different facets to it and it's months and months until we see the final product. (With YouTube), it goes up and, within hours, I am starting to get feedback."
YouTube allows Rost to meet her goal of sharing her passions with a larger base of people, in addition to her current fans.
"I want more and more people to find me, and this is a really good way to do it," she said. "This is a really good way for me to reach a whole new group of people, younger people in particular — singles, professionals, young families — people who would love to do more things at home themselves, but maybe aren't quite sure how to do it.
"Today's population, they're going to YouTube all the time — Facebook, Pinterest, all the different social media outlets — to learn how to do things and to share their own creativity, so this is a way to share with them."

SAC Defendant Was Booted From Harvard Law: A Look at the Details
Earlier Thursday, news broke that Mathew Martoma, the former SAC Capital portfolio manager on trial for alleged insider trading, had been expelled from Harvard Law School in 1999 for falsifying his grade transcripts.
At first, the details regarding the situation were vague.
But previously sealed documents on the matter have now been unsealed, and, for anyone who's done any time at a law school or, for that matter, any institution of higher learning, they make for some fascinating reading. For starters: while at Harvard, Mr. Martoma was known as Ajai Mathew Thomas. He has since changed his name.
An August 1999 letter from Harvard law professor and "hearing officer" for disciplinary cases, Randall Kennedy, to other members of the school's administrative board lays out the board's basic findings:
The case stems from Mr. Thomas' alteration of his law school transcript in December 1998. A month later, Mr. Thomas applied [for clerkship positions] to twenty-three judges. The altered transcript was part of his application. Mr. Thomas asserts that he did not purposefully send the judges the altered transcript. He contends that they received it by accident. According to Mr. Thomas, he altered his transcript only for the purpose of deceiving his parents. . . .
Mr. Thomas acknowledges that soon after the applications were sent, he became aware that the judges had received the altered transcript. With that knowledge, he engaged in interviews with three judges. He said nothing to them at that time about any problem with his application."
While Mr. Martoma attempted to explain it as an inadvertent mistake, according to Mr. Kennedy's account, Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the disciplinary board weren't buying it.
"The Board . . . concluded that 'Mr. Thomas' manner . . . did not lend credence to his account" and observed that the "culmination of improbable occurrences in his account . . . made it more difficult to accept his explanation of individual events. . . . For punishment, the Board recommends dismission."
The government's motion to admit such evidence at trial attaches the board's more detailed finding, dated May 1999. That document also makes for some compelling reading. Some quick highlights:
1. In December 1998, Mathew Thomas altered the transcript of his first-year grades at Harvard Law School as follows: Civil Procedure, B to A; Contracts B+ to A; Criminal Law, B to A. Grades in Torts (B+), Property (A) and Negotiation (A-) were not changed.
2. At the end of December of in early January, Mr. Thomas's application for a clerkship was sent to 23 judges in the United States Court of Appeals. The applications included the altered transcript. . . . Mr. Thomas has stated that it was his intention that the real transcript be sent with his applications. According to his statement, he arranged with his brother for the latter to prepare the packets of materials for mailing to each judge; his brother came across the altered transcript and, mistakenly believing that it was the real transcript, included it with the application.
. . .
4. On January 26 and 27, Mr. Thomas interviewed for a clerkship with Judge Sentelle, Judge Randolph, and Judge Ginsburg of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Mr. Thomas did not disclose to the judges that the transcript that they had received was not accurate. . . . . Mr. Thomas has stated that it was his intention, in order to avoid any harmful effect from the altered transcript, not to be offered a clerkship and that he tried not to be a successful candidate at the interviews.
5. Two of the three judges who interviewed Mr. Thomas thought after the interviews that he was an extremely attractive candidate for a clerkship. One judge decided to offer him a clerkship. He reported that Mr. Thomas's conduct at the interview was consistent only with his wanting the job.
This is just a taste, LB readers. There's more.
The disclosure comes one day before opening statements are expected to begin in Mr. Martoma's trial and could provide prosecutors with damaging evidence to show jurors about his character.
Prosecutors have accused Mr. Martoma of using inside information from two doctors to make trades netting $276 million in profits and avoided losses, which they say is one of the largest illegal trades ever.
Lawyers for Mr. Martoma, who has pleaded not guilty, had sought to keep evidence of the expulsion private. But U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe disclosed Thursday that he ruled in December to unseal any evidence related to "disciplinary proceedings" brought against Mr. Martoma while at Harvard law.
A spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office declined to comment, and a spokeswoman for Harvard Law School did not respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Mr. Martoma declined to comment Thursday.
It wasn't immediately clear Thursday if Judge Gardephe would allow prosecutors to show the actual documents to jurors.
Also Thursday, lawyers for both sides selected twelve jurors and four alternates, and opening statements in the trial are expected Friday morning. The jury is composed of seven women and five men and includes a college film professor and an employment lawyer.

Arlington, Va. — The Aerospace Industries Association offers its congratulations to Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx after being unanimously confirmed today by the United States Senate to succeed outgoing Secretary Ray LaHood.
"Secretary Foxx brings substantial credentials and valuable local government experience to Washington as he assumes this important position at a critical time," said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. "Sequestration and long-term financial constraints are substantial challenges to a U. S. aviation system that leads the world in technological innovation and aircraft manufacturing. As our economy recovers, we cannot be saddled with a decades-old air traffic control system. And as we face emerging global competitors, the FAA's certification procedures must not hold back U. S. manufacturers in introducing new products to the world marketplace."
Blakey added that these challenges are surmountable, and the aerospace industry looks forward to working with the new secretary. "We are eager to assist Secretary Foxx as he takes over the helm at DOT and puts together a transportation plan that balances today's needs with tomorrow's necessary investments. His experience overseeing the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport will provide invaluable insights into the importance of our aviation system and the complexities of providing nationwide air traffic control services every day of the year, rain or shine."
Blakey also offered praise for outgoing Secretary Ray LaHood. "Secretary LaHood has done an excellent job in challenging times. He has always considered the views of manufacturers in the aviation sector that provides so many jobs in this country, and so much to a positive U. S. trade balance. His 30 year tenure of government service, and the deep experience that goes with it, will be missed."

Female pedestrian struck, killed by train near downtown Spartanburg
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
A Spartanburg woman was killed Tuesday as she tried to cross the railroad tracks on North Forest Street and was hit by a train.
Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said Deborah McBeth, 61, of B.J. Legins Street, died at the scene.
Spartanburg Public Safety Capt. Art Littlejohn said the incident was reported at 2:52 p.m. He said the crossing lights and arms were working properly when McBeth tried to cross the tracks headed north. She was hit by a westbound Norfolk Southern train. Littlejohn said it's possible that McBeth was looking at an eastbound train at the time and did not notice the one headed west that struck her.
Officers roped off the railroad crossing with yellow tape. McBeth's body lie on the gravel beside the tracks a few dozen feet from the crossing.
Both police and friends of McBeth who gathered at the scene said McBeth has been hit several times by cars while walking the streets while drunk.
McBeth had her problems, said her friend, Tarsha Jeter, but she was still a good person. Jeter said many people in that area of town knew her, considered her a friend and looked out for her.
"I would say, 'McBeth, stay out of the streets,'" Jeter said. "She was a good person. She's going to be missed."
Ronald Lyles was a longtime friend of McBeth's and said he had seen her Tuesday morning. He said she was likely walking back up North Forest Street from the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen when she was hit by the train.
Lyles, visibly distraught, said he was devastated by her death.
"She was free hearted," said Lyles, with tears in his eyes. "She was kind. She didn't deserve this."
The case is under investigation by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department, Norfolk Southern and Spartanburg County Coroner's Office. It is the third train-related fatality in Spartanburg County so far this year.

A senior Goldman Sachs figure and Irish government advisor on American projects has stated that Ireland needs to decide what it wants to do about its Diaspora and that he feels the Irish are deeply conflicted about their emigrants.
Adrian Jones, a Roscommon native and managing director at Goldman where he co-heads the firm's America's equities business, was honoree this week at this year's Irish America Magazine Wall Street 50.
In an interview with Sheila Langan in the magazine he stated;
"Over the ten years leading up to 2008, 2009, Irish people were very badly let down by their government and by their public servants. You had a classic credit bubble that was allowed to build to epic proportions. There was a tremendous amount of groupthink, and it became an extremely difficult environment for somebody to go against the grain.
"I think one of the challenges of a very small country, particularly a cohesive, homogenous, small country, is that it is very difficult to speak out, particularly when there are so many vested interests who are very focused on keeping things moving in one particular direction. And, very unfortunately, that's what developed in Ireland.
He says as a result of this the Irish are wary of their emigrants
"I think Irish people, generally, are a little wary of emigrants. Emigration is so much part of Irish life. We speak very well of people who go away and do well. But we get a little concerned when those people come back and tell us how things could have been done better. As Richard Harris tells Tom Berenger in [the film version of] The Field, "Go home, Yank. Go home." There's an element of that in Irish life. And I think official Ireland – and by that I mean not the agencies but Dublin, be it government or public sector – is struggling to figure out the next leg of this Diaspora thing."
He stated there was a European bias in Ireland that militated against the American Irish contribution.
"Official Ireland is very European focused. They've been working as part of the ECC and then the EU since 1973. This may sound politically incorrect, but the vast majority of the Irish Diaspora that can have any influence on the situation is in the United States, and to some degree in the U.K. So you've got a bit of a challenge in that you've got public sector, European-focused official Ireland trying to figure out what to do about private sector, U.S.-based ex-pats, and official Ireland seems to me a lot more focused on how to control this as distinct from how to enable it."
Speaking about the Diaspora initiative launched by the government he stated "I think the Irish agencies abroad have for many years been very effective at leveraging the Diaspora – long before we even called it the Diaspora. They've always been thoughtful, smart and creative at figuring out ways that they can use relationships to help Irish companies, to find investment for Ireland.
"In the late stages of the crisis, official Ireland, in my view, started groping around on this whole issue of "the Diaspora," which resulted in the first Global Irish Network conference at Farmleigh in 2009. I was invited to join, and I wasn't able to attend the initial conference, but I did attend the Dublin Castle conference last October, and there was an interim conference here in New York in November 2010."
He says far more use should be made of leading Irish American figures. "Craig Barrett, the former chairman and CEO of Intel, announced that he was willing to sit on any Irish state board without pay. Any other institution in the world within 20 minutes would have signed him up. And Craig Barrett is still waiting to get a call from Dublin. There's a reason for that, and to me it gets back to the awareness and the need for control. Craig Barrett isn't part of the Irish system, so he isn't beholden to anybody. He'll call it the way he sees it. And I think official Ireland is somewhat anxious about that.
"One other example. I went to the interim conference the Global Irish Network (GIN) hosted at the Irish Consulate in New York in November 2010. One of the speakers was a minister from the previous government, and she said a couple of interesting things that day. When she was asked what she wanted of the GIN, she said she wanted cheerleaders. Which, I think, made for an awkward moment. She also said everything in Ireland was fine, that the Irish government was fully funded, and that the writing earlier that week in The Journal [that Ireland was headed for a bailout] was misinformed.
"You had a group of people in the room with a great deal of good will for Ireland, but they were uncomfortable about being asked to be cheerleaders, and they were very uncomfortable about being patronized. If they didn't feel that way at the time, they certainly felt patronized a week later when Ireland formally requested a bailout.

There'll be a new European rugby competition next season. We can at least be sure of that, following today's announcement by English and French clubs that they intend to set up a new elite competition from next season.
It's no surprise, of course; this one has been brewing for a while. It's pretty certain that Welsh, Scottish and even Irish rugby administrators were hoping that it would just go away and things would continue on their merry way. But it was never going to be sustainable in the long term. The Anglo-French rugby axis have much deeper pockets than their Celtic counterparts, and that means they call the shots.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the Irish might be the dominant partner in this European consortium, and to some extent they have been, on the field at least. Leinster and Munster have won 5 out of the last 8 Heineken Cups.
Many commentators mistakenly put this down to the supposed strength of the Pro 12 Celtic League. But that's just wishful thinking. The reason for Munster and Leinster's European success is that they treat the Pro 12 purely as a development competition. It's a nursery for their young players. They keep their Irish internationals like Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll for the Blue Riband European competition. It's got nothing to do with the Pro 12.
Sure, the academies associated with the Celtic regions have produced a lot of world-class players in the last decade. Just look at Sam Warburton, Leigh Halfpenny and George North. But that's where it ends. Once they've cut their international teeth, they're sucked up into the Mothership in the Vale of Glamorgan, rarely emerging to grace the field for their regions.
In Ireland and Scotland, there's no imperative for their regions to make money. Why? Because they're owned by their respective Unions. In Wales it's different. Our regions are privately-owned, with the WRU holding shares, but not financial control. This means the Welsh regions have to produce a "product" (a nasty word, but unfortunately this is a nasty world) which makes money.
The Welsh regional product clearly doesn't make money. The regions are all propped up by sugar Daddies and a meagre subsidy from the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).
You might be forgiven for assuming that the WRU are sitting on a massive pile of cash. Nearly a decade of success, with the coins rolling in from bumper crowds at the Millennium Stadium, should have left the WRU with a healthy bank balance (have you seen the price of the tickets? The beer? The replica shirts?).
In fact, the WRU still owe Barclays Bank millions of pounds; the loan taken out to pay for the construction of the Millennium Stadium. It nearly bankrupted the WRU in the early 2000s.
But that's only part of the story. Of course the WRU have to pay off the loan. Apparently it would be financially imprudent to try to re-negotiate the repayment terms.
This mean there's not much money left over once the bank has been paid. Not much money left for the regions.
How does this affect what's now happening with the European cup? The problem England and France have isn't just about money. Of course, they're annoyed that they're effectively paying for a competition which includes crap Welsh and Scottish teams. Let's face it, the Welsh and Scottish regions have done next to bugger-all in Europe since they came into existence. What really annoys the Anglo-French clubs is what they see as the unfairly large proportion of Pro 12 teams in the Heineken Cup. The Pro 12 is a single league, like the Top 14 and the Aviva, so the qualification criteria should be the same. The top 4 teams go up, and that's it. Maybe the top 5 if one of your teams wins the previous year.
Sounds pretty fair to me. Where does that leave Wales, and why is it much worse for us if the French and English take their ball away?
Here's how I see it panning out. The European cup needs to be a truly "elite" competition. That means it needs to include only the best teams from Europe. No helping hands to developing regions, and no assumptions that just because your national team is successful, that it follows that your regions will be too (looking at you here, Wales).
Scenario 1. The new European Cup is set up. Ireland quickly join it, and take even less interest in the Pro 12 as it's not even important for qualification any more. They continue to play their own domestic championship and perhaps under 21 versions of their regions in the Pro 12. That reduces the quality of the Pro 12 even further. Result? Wales lose. A poor product gets even poorer. Wales might be offered a couple of places in the new European Cup, but without a competitive development competition (Pro 12), and more importantly, with limited funds, they don't stand a cat's chance in hell of ever winning it.
Scenario 2. Somehow the ERC continues in its current form. This means compromise on the part of the Pro 12 teams. Again, the likely result is even worse for Wales. In a scenario where only the top 4 qualify, on the strength of last season, only one Welsh region would qualify for the elite European competition. If the Irish were helpful and won the Heineken Cup, we might get two places. Again Wales lose.
Whatever happens, if Wales are outside the European tent next season, it looks very very bad.
And what are the WRU doing about it? Precisely bugger all. They're still banging on about "Gatland's Law" and how some magical money tree is going to provide the funds so that regions can stop the terminal exodus of our best players to France and England.
In 2011 we were on the brink of being World Champions. In 2012 they wrote us off and we still managed to win the Grand Slam. Even in 2013, we've won the Six Nations against the odds and made the Lions roar in Australia.
But still, our domestic game is in a terrible mess, and it appears things are only going to get worse.

I just recently did a clean install of Windows. I hear the hard drive turning off and the monitor goes blank, but the computer is still on. I have to do a hard reset to get it to respond. I'm pretty sure it's PMS causing this since sleep works fine when I uninstalled it.
This happens when the service auto starts. If I manually start the service through it seems fine. I even made a task through task scheduler to start the service and that doesn't work either.
This also happened before my format; I stuck with version 1.50.1 because that was the latest that worked. I thought a clean install would've fixed this so I'm not sure what's wrong. I use the Shark007 codec pack if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Larry Flynn, President, Gulfstream
February 21, 2014
Thank you for joining us this morning. I would especially like to thank Chairman Hochberg, AIA President and CEO Marion Blakey, Senator Isakson and Representative Kingston for being here to help us recognize this important milestone in the history of the Export-Import Bank.
On behalf of the more than 14,000 Gulfstream employees around the world, I want to thank Ex-Im for its efforts to help companies like Gulfstream grow, even under challenging market conditions.
Ex-Im is crucially important to Gulfstream because exports are a large part of our business. You couldn't say that when we started here in Savannah in 1967 – or even 30 years later. But you can now.
Ten years ago, 18 percent of the Gulfstream fleet was outside of the United States. Now, about 35 percent of the fleet – that's more than 750 aircraft – is based outside of the country.
Most of that international growth has happened over the last six years – in places such as China, Russia and Brazil.
And it's still going strong.
Approximately 60 percent of our nearly 14 billion dollar backlog is international. We used to be a Savannah-based company that did some business internationally. Today, we are an international company that is proud to be based in Savannah.
Gulfstream would not be as successful as we've been without the support of Ex-Im. The Bank's ability to secure financing for many of our overseas customers has put us on a level playing field with our competitors.
The best news of all is that the increase in international sales has led to more jobs here in the U.S. In 2010, we announced that we would add 1,000 jobs in Savannah over a seven-year period. I'm proud to say that a little over three years later, we've added not 1,000, not 2,000 – but 2,500 jobs.
We could not have done this without the tremendous support of many, including Ex-Im Bank, the Aerospace Industries Association and our elected officials.
And for that, I thank you.

County school board investigates options on underwater condo
Many readers chafed at former Santa Clara County schools chief Charles Weis' plan to stick taxpayers with his underwater luxury condo. Some called Weis, who retired June 30, ungrateful. A few said unprintable things.
But they may want to aim some of their ire at the Santa Clara Board of Education for putting them in this position in the first place. On Wednesday, the board voted to ask its attorney what options it has in response to Weis' notice that he's quit-claiming, or relinquishing his interest in, the 18th-floor unit in downtown's Axis building. Is it possible the board, when it gave Weis a $915,000 low-rate loan at zero to 3-percent interest, wrote such a loose agreement that Weis could walk away after paying only $15,000 or $20,000 (he said he didn't remember how much) on the loan?
Weis said when he looked into selling or refinancing the Almaden Boulevard condo, he couldn't get nearly what he paid for it in 2008. He's required to pay off the loan by the end of next year, so now he wants to dump the condo on the County Board, which could lease or sell the unit. In that case, how bad taxpayers get soaked in the end depends on how fast the real estate market -- which at least is picking up -- recovers.
Anyone looking for a deal of a San Jose condo with a view? Paul Zeger, president and CEO of Axis' sales firm, Pacific Marketing Associates, said they've "seen this tremendous rise in interest driven primarily by a big shift in consumer confidence."
And what of Weis' former digs on the 18th floor?
"It's probably one of our best units up there," Zeger said. And it may be available at a discount.
Water Co. motto: If we serve it, they will come
Having grazed at more than a few political food tables in our time, we can tell you that one of the very best is the annual San Jose Water Co. Leadership Barbeque. In the first place, it's in a magnificent setting, on waterfront property the company owns off Black Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Los Gatos. (Note: The water company is different from the Santa Clara Valley Water District, or Golden Spigot. San Jose Water is a retailer, while the Golden Spigot is a middleman.)
Second, the power quotient is high, even though IA, unaccountably, was not invited. Among the folks attending the 10th anniversary event on Sept. 13 were builder Barry Swenson, philanthropist Mike Fox Sr., San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, Council members Nancy Pyle and Pierluigi Oliverio, former councilman Frank Fiscalini, Santa Clara County Assessor Larry Stone, ex-San Jose Leadership Council director Rick Holden and financial adviser and ex-San Jose Rep trustee Sandra Moll.
What really set the barbecue apart, however, was the spread, which we viewed on the Facebook site of the caterer, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme. We spotted shrimp cocktail, a "wild game grill'' with pork and duck sausage, crab claws, thin-crust pizza, potatoes, green beans and lamb chops. Not to mention elegant table settings and your choice of beverage -- among them, Grand Marnier, Bailey's Cream, J&B Scotch, Jameson Irish Whiskey and beers that included Stella Artois, Corona and Bud Light.
By our deadline, we couldn't get anyone at San Jose Water to tell us how much the event cost. But it is worth pointing out that the company has reason to cultivate friends. It has a request for a nearly 44 percent rate hike over three years now pending before the California Public Utilities Commission.
Public safety meeting had political undertone
We somehow doubt many believed it when union leaders representing San Jose cops and other city workers claimed their neighborhood public safety meeting was all about protecting residents. It was, after all, at the same time as a City Hall discussion on the same topic and in the district of the one council member facing re-election.
But Michelle Hatfield, an organizer with IFPTE Local 21, a union representing public-sector professional and technical workers, spelled out the Sept. 18 meeting's true purpose in an internal email to members that someone kindly shared with us.
"This is part of our San Jose City Council District 8 campaign," Hatfield wrote in the note, touting newspaper and television coverage of the meeting and urging volunteers to "help invite residents" to "at least two more" that are planned.
District 8 Councilwoman Rose Herrera is fighting for re-election against union-backed attorney Jimmy Nguyen, who opposed the June ballot measure she helped champion to trim generous pensions whose costs have more than tripled. Nguyen and the unions argue the measure has sent cops packing and crime rates soaring. Herrera suggests the unions are fanning fears to scare voters.
Reading between the lines on library director
It was a punishing week for San Jose City Manager Deb Figone. A day after Police Chief Chris Moore announced that he would retire next January, Figone sent word to the council that she would have to start anew in the search for a new library director to replace Jane Light, who retired last March. Figone said she had identified a strong candidate who withdrew "for personal reasons." The back story tells you something about the difficulties the city faces in hiring top-notch outsiders for key posts.
Several sources told IA that Figone's candidate was the respected Lisa Rosenblum, a San Jose resident who is now director of Sunnyvale's libraries. Rosenblum, 54, lives in Naglee Park, almost within walking distance of the main library.
"Personal reasons" can encompass anything. And we couldn't reach Rosenblum for comment. But our sources say one sticking point had to do with Rosenblum's pension package. In Sunnyvale, Rosenblum is in a reasonably generous CalPERS plan. In San Jose, under the city's effort to control pension costs, new employees as of Sept. 30 will earn pensions at a slower pace.

Charles Weis
Former Santa Clara County schools superintendent, who was paid $332,000 a year, borrowed almost $1 million from the Office of Education to buy luxury downtown San Jose condo now worth much less, and now that he's left, wants taxpayers to bail him out.
Chris Moore
San Jose police chief won accolades for work with downtown businesses and minority communities. But when the budget going got tough, he quit, "retiring" at age 51 after two years on the job, and drawing a $155K lifetime pension.

In the end, Mark Appel called it a no-lose situation.
Pitching in the major leagues has been a lifelong dream, but it will have to wait a year for the Stanford senior All-America to earn his bachelor's degree and help the Cardinal baseball team reach the College World Series.
Last season, Appel (Monte Vista High) posted a 10-2 record and 2.56 ERA. He was taken eighth overall in the major-league draft last July by Pittsburgh, but he decided the price wasn't right to sign.
"I was at peace with it," he said Wednesday. —... I asked my parents, my friends, my advisors, my coaches ... anybody who had an influence on me. When it came down to it, it was still my choice."

BERKELEY -- During his days as a student at Cal, Michael Williams considered it to be a special coup that he knew someone with keys to old Harmon Gym, allowing him and his friends to play late-night pickup basketball.
As interim athletic director at Cal, Williams, 53, is now that guy.
"When I went up to Memorial Stadium and I had a pass that opened the football offices, it was unbelievable," Williams said Wednesday during his first media interview since being given the keys to operate Cal's athletic department.
"There are elements of this that are just a dream job," said Williams, a former Cal wrestler now retired from a successful career in investment management. "When you think about it as a fan, I get to talk to all the coaches whenever I want. And I get to interact with the student-athletes."
A resident of Lafayette, married with three children, Williams officially began his job Wednesday as interim replacement for Sandy Barbour, moved to a different position on campus by Chancellor Nicholas Dirks.
But Williams actually has been at work for about three weeks now, not counting volunteer assignments that include serving as a trustee for the UC Berkeley Foundation, working on the chancellor's Task Force for Academic and Athletics and on the search committee for a new provost.
Dirks said Williams was the only person he asked to take this assignment, which could last close to a year.
"He's somebody for whom it was a natural," Dirks said, explaining that he will rely on Williams' input as he conducts the search for Cal's next permanent athletic director.
Williams said he couldn't say no to Dirks, although he first had to clear things with his family. His wife Jeanne of 17 years "knew she married someone who's not going to shy away from challenges, from opportunities, from doing big things. I think that might be a little bit about why she loves me."
The job is complex, Williams conceded, but also exciting.
"What is more specifically appealing is we are at such a time of change in higher education. It's going to be interesting to be a part of that change," he said. "I also firmly believe the whole world is going to look at what places like Cal do."
Williams doesn't believe Cal's athletic department to be in significant disarray. "The nice thing is nothing's broken," he said.
Williams said Cal's much-criticized stadium renovation financing plan continues to be positively tweaked. He pointed to the July 26 international soccer game at Memorial Stadium as an example of how the facility can generate revenue and expose the campus to outsiders.
He also said the academic performance of Cal's athletes is strong in most sports, but acknowledged recent poor scores and graduation rates for football and men's basketball were "disappointing."
"There's probably only one thing you can get our 475,000 alums to agree on, and that is don't do anything to mess with the value of our degree," he said. "I hope and I believe -- and we'll see -- but that was an aberration."
Williams cited early academic progress in second-year football coach Sonny Dykes' program and said he is impressed with new basketball coach Cuonzo Martin.
"I have spent a fair amount of time with Sonny already. I really like him," Williams said. "I think he's a man of very high principle, high character. He gets that it may take a different type of recruit to become a different type of player to be become a different type of a student-athlete at Cal."
Williams also is "optimistic" that the Bears will fare much better this fall than a year ago, when they were 1-11.
His relationship with Cal's coaches is not as a short-time baby sitter, but as their supervisor with all the attending responsibilities.
"I am absolutely performing that role," Williams said. "The chancellor has put me in the seat to do that job."

Gray leads Women's Stroke Play tourney
Published: Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 12:18 a.m.
UNION GROVE | Cammie Gray, a redshirt freshman at the University of Alabama and a resident of Northport, holds the top two state titles in women's golf — the Women's Stroke Play and the Women's State Amateur. She opened her Stroke Play title defense Friday with an even-par 72 at Cherokee Ridge Country Club.
Her opening round gives her a two-shot lead over former State Junior champion and current Samford golfer Bailey Gray of Springville and Michaela Morard, a junior golfer from Huntsville, both of whom shot 74.
Gray posted birdies on Nos. 1, 6, 10 and 18 against bogeys on Nos. 2, 12, 14 and 15.
"A couple of holes got me, but that's golf. I played well, except for back-to-back three-putts," Gray said. "Cherokee Ridge is a gorgeous golf course, but is a tough track. It can definitely trip you up if you are not careful."
Gray got off to a fast start and was 3 under through six holes, but stumbled to a back nine 40. Morard also had three front-nine birdies, but had five bogeys.
First Round Scores
Cammie Gray, Northport 35-37--72
Bailey Gray, Springville 34-40--74
