- Poole: Warriors' Dwight Howard chase worth the risk
Surprise No. 1: The Warriors changed plans on the fly and cashed in a bunch of chips for Andre Iguodala, instead of letting it all ride on Dwight Howard.
Very responsible, and opportunistic, of them.
Surprise No. 2: The Warriors put themselves in the middle of the NBA free-agent whirlwind and not only survived, they won.
All very, very, very new experiences for this franchise.
And startling for anyone used to the old and hoary Warriors traditions of stale ownership, nervous over-reactions and listless off-seasons.
The Warriors pulled a great big snooker job Friday, focusing everyone's attention on their pursuit of Howard, then quietly agreeing to a four-year, $48-million deal with Iguodala, the free agent swingman and long one of their favorite players.
They set this up by sending Andris Biedrins, Richard Jefferson, Brandon Rush and their 2014 and 2017 first-round picks to Utah, a trade that created enough space under the salary cap to fit Iguodala outright.
Jefferson (at $11 million) and Biedrins (at $9 million) were both thought to be tricky to unload, especially under the gun, without much leverage.
And Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob, general manager Bob Myers and the rest of the personnel staff pulled it off, to acquire the versatile, defensive-minded Iguodala.
Now the Warriors have somebody to guard Kevin Durant or Tony Parker in the playoffs, if it should come to that.
And it didn't cost them Harrison Barnes or Klay Thompson or even Andrew Bogut. By the way, it actually reduced their payroll by $11 million this season.
That's an incredible set of events (first reported by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski), all at once, and here's how I suspect it happened:
*The Warriors were locked in on chasing Howard, and to do that, they had to explore ways to shed $31 million in salaries to get far enough under the cap to sign him.
*They were also intrigued by Iguodala, who was Denver's best player in the two teams' playoff series last spring and whose two-way game can fill a lot of holes.
*And Iguodala was ready to say "yes," after spurning Sacramento's entreaties and a larger offer from Denver.
A good player took less money to join the Warriors. When has that ever happened?
Iguodala can play small forward, off-guard and maybe even some point guard for the Warriors--and his loss directly harms one of the Warriors' closest conference rivals.
*When the Warriors realized they had Utah ready to pick up a lot of their contracts, and that Howard was still uncertain, the Warriors went ahead and landed Iguodala—ready, willing, and talented.
*That all but precluded the Warriors from signing Howard outright (they just don't have much more else to package—even dumping David Lee's deal, which would be difficult, wouldn't clear enough).
When word leaked that Howard was about to sign with the Rockets, it was no surprise--the Warriors made their moves to do the Iguodala surprise.
The central core of this entire process, I think, was that the Warriors decided to hold onto Barnes and Thompson, instead of offering them to the Lakers in a sign-and-trade proposal for Howard.
They never had to make that final decision--Howard picked Houston--but it sounds like the Warriors were not giving up Barnes or Thompson.
So they found a way to add a star (Iguodala) without touching their new core of Curry, Barnes and Thompson.
I'd think the Warriors would want to move Lee if they're going to add any more big contracts, but with the way Lacob and Myers are churning now, who knows.
The Warriors, of course, also have Bogut under contract for one more season and Lee at power forward for three more seasons.
But they've made it pretty clear that the core is Curry, Iguodala, Barnes and Thompson--give or take another big move or two in the next few seasons.
I've always respected Iguodala as a player, and he should be a very nice fit next to Curry, and whoever else remains on the roster whenever Lacob and Myers are done.
And remember, Iguodala is the one rumored to have told Mark Jackson he wasn't on-board with Denver's roughing up Curry during the playoffs.
He wanted to join the Warriors—he didn't take Sacramento's offer right away, so they pulled it, and he clearly wasn't too interested in staying with Denver.
So Iguodala will be a Warrior. That works.
How will the Warriors find playing time for Iguodala, Barnes and Thompson, all wing players, if they keep them all?
Simple explanation: They'll play Barnes a lot of minutes at the power forward position, which he did quite successfully, ironically, against Denver in the playoffs when Lee was hurt.
What does that mean for Lee? He's not looking like a huge part of the Warriors' future, and if he is around for next season, his automatic 36 minutes a night is far from assured.
Another point: To do this, the Warriors will have to renounce their rights to free agents Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry.
The Warriors are going to have to add a back-up center, a back-up point guard and maybe another power forward, and they have little cap room with which to do it.
They'll need to fill in with veterans at the minimum salary (and a minor salary-cap exception), and presume that they're now a destination franchise.
Iguodala already showed that the Warriors are becoming a favored spot, with or without Dwight Howard.
They figured how to accomplish that without Howard's signature, which is the biggest surprise of all for a front-office full of them these days.

|Propagating red, seedless table grapes.
Plants are expensive. We choose to propagate much of what we have. One of our latest projects is grapevines. Red, seedless, table grapes. I have this beautiful arbor project in mind I'm sure my husband will love to build for me.
I have never had much luck with rooting cuttings; but I can layer just about any plant and get it to root and grow. Grapevines are especially easy to propagate. I take a nice healthy, green vine, pull off some leaves, nick the vine at the leaf joint and tuck it into soil. As long as the vine stays tucked under moist soil, it will root. I have never seen it fail in our gardens.
I fill a container with organic garden soil, stuff the vine (still connected to the mother plant) at least 3 inches into the soil and make sure it has a good covering. I use a fork, tent stake or large paper clip to secure the vine in the soil and keep it in place. I water it generously with manure tea every day to give it a good start.
Within 3 to 4 weeks the vine has rooted. I leave the plant in the container, connected to the mother plant for 6 to 8 weeks. Once I see lots of healthy growth happening on the plant, it is safe to cut the cord and let it grow on its own.
|We grow with Manure Tea!
The manure tea encourages healthy root growth. They grow like crazy. Healthy roots grow a healthy plant. Healthy plants grow lots of healthy food.
When the roots have become established and the plant begins to show healthy growth, cut the connecting vine to separate the new plant from the mother. At this point you can allow it to continue growing in the container or transplant it into the garden.

Political Perceptions: Abortion Finally Arrives as an Issue
It took long while, but abortion finally has arrived as an issue in the presidential campaign. It got there, notes William Saletan of Slate, not because either John McCain or Barack Obama brought it up, but because moderator Bob Schieffer did, at this week's debate. Why has this most hot-button of issues been left on the sidelines? "Because when life really sucks—when your 401(k) is in the toilet, your health-insurance premiums are doubling, and your country is bleeding billions of dollars it doesn't have in places you never heard of—social issues are a luxury you can't afford. If you're a hard-core pro-lifer, abortion will always be your issue. But if you just don't like abortion, or you don't like politicians meddling in it, you probably have some other issue in this election that's bothering you more."
Once it came up, Saletan noted, each candidate tried to "turn it into his kind of issue." McCain, who is trying to make the election "a referendum on character," turned the discussion to a controversial vote Obama cast in the Illinois state senate against a bill that would compel attention to a child born of a failed abortion, and used it to use the vote to show Obama as an extremist. Obama, by contrast, talked of finding "common ground" on steps to reduce abortion. "These are defusing and calming words," Saletan writes. "They fit Obama's personality. But more than that, they're pragmatic," which is the image Obama is trying to project.

BOSTON - As expected, the Red Sox started Jonny Gomes in left field instead of Daniel Nava and David Ross was catching with Jon Lester on the mound.
The Red Sox are 6-0 in the playoffs with Gomes in the starting lineup. The karma that the emotional veteran is providing is trumping any statistical difference in starting him or Nava. Manager John Farrell says Cardinal starters Adam Wainwright and Wacha don't have dramatic differences in their stats in facing right and left-handed hitters.
"Jonny has done an excellent job in the time that he started, evident by the way that we've performed by a team, but I can't single him out as the reason why," Farrell said.
Gomes is hitting .176 (3-of-17) against righties in the playoffs and 2-for-8 vs. lefties. Farrell made sure to credit Nava, who was eighth in the American League in hitting (.303) and fifth in OBP (.385). Nava could see the start in both games in St. Louis, if only because of his superior defensive ability.
"Keeping Daniel Nava involved will be there," said Farrell. "We sat down and talked a couple of times and given my thoughts and rationale behind some of the decisions, he's on board and very much a team player. He admits and recognizes to his credit that this is about us as a team and not an individual."
As for Ross, he's caught Lester in Game One and Five of the ALCS and is hitting .333 (3-of-9) in the playoffs.

If the car bomb in Times Square contained just one of the tens of thousands of radioactive sources that exist in the U.S. and it had successfully detonated, this American landmark would be uninhabitable for months or years to come. And, if the attack were with an improvised nuclear device instead, a large portion of Manhattan would have been destroyed. We were lucky in many ways that day, but these are real threats posed by ever-bolder terrorists, and our luck might not last forever. That is why it is essential for Congress to join with the Obama administration to make sure that terrorists cannot get their hands on these dangerous materials.
Members of Congress have good reason to support domestic projects in the face of a sluggish economy, but they also have a solemn duty to keep America safe.
Thankfully, the momentum to prevent such a catastrophic disaster has been building in Washington, D.C., and in capitals across the world. In April of this year, for the first time ever, 47 world leaders came together at the Nuclear Security Summit and agreed that nuclear terrorism is "one of the most challenging threats to international security." They also agreed to do something about it, including endorsing the U.S. goal of securing all vulnerable nuclear material in four years.
But tackling this threat will take real money--more than we have spent to date--and continued political commitment. The linchpin in these international nuclear security efforts is the United States, and our key nuclear security programs need strong congressional support. The president has requested a $320 million increase for nuclear security activities in the fiscal year 2011 budget, and Congress will need to act on that request to ensure nuclear materials stay out of the hands of terrorists.
However, although the goal of securing these dangerous materials received an unprecedented bipartisan standing ovation at this year's State of the Union, hurdles have begun to crop up in the Hill's budget considerations. It is unnerving to consider that pressures posed by the 2010 congressional elections might potentially lead to compromises in the nuclear security funding--funding that the administration proposed to make Americans safer.
One significant challenge is whether to reduce some of the nuclear security funding to focus on domestic projects in home districts. Members of Congress have good reason to support domestic projects in the face of a sluggish economy, but they also have a solemn duty to keep America safe. A nuclear terrorist attack anywhere in the world would have a ruinous impact on the U.S. and global economy. And any response to a successful attack will cost billions, dwarfing the proposed budgets for preventing it. This year, U.S. nuclear security spending represents about one-third of 1 percent of total defense spending. That's why funding nuclear security today is not only a good bargain for national security, but it is also an investment in a strong and growing economy.
In addition, the intelligence community continues to report that Al Qaeda is seeking weapons of mass destruction to use against the U.S. and our allies, and Osama bin Laden has stated clearly that he views it his "religious duty" to obtain and use nuclear weapons against Americans.
Combine these consistent intelligence reports with the fact that not all nuclear materials are secured to a global "gold standard." And when you add it all up, the result is clear: Failure to support the fiscal 2011 budget on nuclear security is an extremely dangerous gamble with our national security. It is a gamble Congress should not take.

Trying to build the Internet of Things
By speakjava on Jul 17, 2013
More recently I came across an article about a startup called Wimoto, who are developing wireless sensors to measure temperature, soil conditions and water levels each for less than $40. What interested me about this was that using Bluetooth LE technology the sensors could be powered for up to a year using a single coin cell power source. Clearly Moore's law has finally bought us to a point where meaningful sensor networks are a commercial reality.
This got me thinking about how I could build a demo using this type of sensor technology combined with something like the Raspberry Pi to act as a concentrator using Java and the Oracle Event Processing software.
The first part was to figure out how to get some small low cost sensors for my network. Doing some research I found what I thought was an ideal component, the BL600-SA from Laird Technologies, a low power bluetooth module with built in antenna. Here's the basic feature set:
- An ARM
Cortex M0 core processor
- 16Kb of RAM (the same as my first personal computer)
- 256Kb Flash
- Programmable via a serial connection using smartBASIC
- A full Bluetooth Low-Energy stack
- Connectors for UART, GPIO, ADC, I2C and SPI
Here's a picture of the module:
and here's the other side with the solder pads (ignore the fact, for now, that some of them look a bit used).
You will notice that the solder pads for the 44 possible connections are very, very small, literally about 0.5mm across with a gap of about 0.2mm. Surface mount soldering is used in almost everything electronic these days, but sadly I am not equipped for flow soldering, either at home or in the office (Oracle heath and safety people actually get very upset if you start soldering in an open plan office).
For once I was glad that I am really short sited. By using uncorrected vision I can get really close to the module and hopefully not burn myself while soldering. Looking at the pin configuration it seemed that I needed 10 connections to the module:
- Vcc (3V)
- Analog input 1
- Analog input 2
Having learnt some lessons from the first attempt my second attempt seemed better. Here's a picture taken with a microscope of the four UART connections.
It's not exactly pretty, but I'm reasonably certain there's no short. Having made the necessary connections I mounted the module using some blu tack (this is, after all, a hi-tech project) on a piece of veroboard, thus:
In theory, at this point I should be able to put a cell in the holder, connect the UART via something like a MAX3232 and use PuTTY to talk to the module. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I put a cell in and started by measuring the voltage from Vcc to GND, which should have been 3V (or a little over with a new cell). What I get is 1V. I assumed this meant I had a short somewhere, but when I checked the resistance between Vcc and GND it was somewhere in the region of 2 Megohms, which does not seem like a short to me.
At this point I need to have a bit of a think to see if I can figure out where the problem is. It seems my internet of things is still some way off...

'Game of Thrones' Will Film Parts of Season Five in Spain
Dorne, here we come?
HBO announced Tuesday that parts of season five of its blockbuster fantasy series "Game of Thrones" will shoot in the Seville province of the Andalusia region of southern Spain. The area's sun-drenched, Mediterranean environment would make a fine stand-in for George R.R. Martin's vision of the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms.
HBO, however, would not confirm which settings would be shot in Seville. The network said it would announce specific locations closer to the time production begins.
Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have said they're excited to take the action to Dorne, which is the home of House Martell. That family produced "The Red Viper" himself, Oberyn Martell, who enjoyed, shall we say, an arc that blew viewers' minds in the recently concluded fourth season.
Dorne becomes a central part of the plot in "A Song of Ice and Fire" in book four, "A Feast for Crows," as the region's sovereign, the patient and cautious Prince Doran Martell, makes his play for power and vengeance in the treacherous world of Westerosi politics.
The series — which has shot on location in Northern Ireland, Morocco, Malta and Iceland — is due to start production on season five in Belfast later this month, HBO said.

Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney Readies for Baby Number Three
Joe Don and wife Tiffany expecting a second daughter in September.
Next month, Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts will have one more reason to be a happy man, with the arrival of his third child. Joe Don and his wife, Tiffany, will welcome their second daughter, due Sept. 25.
"We haven't named her yet, but we're just very excited," Joe Don reveals to Country Weekly. "I'm just excited to have my wife back, bless her heart. She doesn't do prego real well. She's been really sick with this one. She's starting to feel a little better; she's just in that uncomfortable stage now. But we're really excited. Our schedule is so crazy. I have like literally a window of time from September 22 through September 26 off, so we're hoping [her birth] falls in that window. No pressure, Tiff!"
After the arrival Joe Don's baby girl, the head count for Little Rascals will be at seven kids. Gary LeVox's daughters are 10 and 14, Jay DeMarcus' two children are 2 and 4, and Joe Don's oldest two are 4 and 6.
"It's crazy in the Rascal Flatts households," says Jay, laughing. "We don't get any sleep on the road or at home!"
Chances are Joe Don definitely won't be getting much shut-eye before or after their show Sept. 21 in Detroit. There's a connection between the city and expecting babies while playing there!
"Last year, Jay's son was born while we were in Detroit, so we had to fly back that morning to be there for the birth of his son," says Joe Don. "It would be ironic if that happens for me!"

SAN JOSE — Family and friends of a 17-year-old boy who was fatally struck last month by a vehicle while walking on an onramp to Interstate 680 have established a memorial scholarship fund at San Jose State University.
Garon Bolden, a San Jose teen with musical aspirations, died on Jan. 10 after being struck by at least two vehicles while walking on the onramp from Jackson Avenue to southbound Interstate 680, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Bolden was a high school junior at The King's Academy home-school program at the time of his death.
"It's just a tragedy," said his father, Greg Bolden. "As a dad you want to be there to protect. Then something like this happens. When it's out of your control, you feel helpless. Got to call out to the Lord and perhaps get some understanding later."
The CHP is continuing to investigate Garon's death and search for the hit-and-run driver. Greg Bolden said the family still has questions about what happened on the night of Garon's death.
Meanwhile, Garon's family is seeking donations for the scholarship fund, and is remembering the teen who loved music and once, at the age of 10, wrote and recorded a rap song that was played on Bay Area radio.
Garon earned local acclaim after writing and recording a hip-hop song "Makin' the Grade," which focused on education and received radio play on stations such as Wild 107, Greg Bolden said. Garon was once interviewed by KMEL DJ Jesus "Chuy" Gomez; that interview was played at Garon's funeral service.
Garon's family hopes to raise enough money to establish an endowment to help San Jose State music students who share a love of keyboard and piano, said Garon's mother, Renee Bolden. Several of Garon's family members attended and graduated from San Jose State, his mother said.
"It's in his honor because keyboard and piano is an instrument that he enjoyed and he studied over a number of years," Renee Bolden said. "This is a way of keeping his memory alive by assisting other students with a similar love and passion for that instrument."
Contact Mark Gomez at 408-920-5869. Follow him on Twitter @MarkMgomez.
Those wishing to contribute can make donation in memory of Garon Bolden to the Tower Foundation of San Jose State University. Please send checks payable to the Tower Foundation of SJSU, One Washington Square, San Jose, CA 95192-0183, or make a gift online at www.sjsu.edu/giving/.

Jonny Moseley
Jonny Moseley (born August 27, 1975 in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is the first Puerto Rican to belong to the U.S. Ski Team.
Moseley was born in the Capital City of Puerto Rico. In 1978, Moseley saw snow for the first time when his family went on a trip to California. Eventually, his family moved to Tiburon, California, a suburb north of San Francisco. His family would always go to the Sierra Nevadas every weekend. This plus this fact that he was better than his brothers in skiing, inspired 9 year old Moseley to take skiing lessons. In 1982, he joined the Squaw Valley Freestyle Ski Team and began training in the sport he grew to love. Soon after he won his first Junior National title in Freestyle Skiing. Moseley always made time for both his school work and his training. He graduated from high school in 1993 and that same year was selected and became a member of the U.S. Ski Team.
Moseley tried but did not qualify for the 1994 Winter Olympics held at Lillehammer, Norway. He was determined to qualify for the 1998 Olympics and continued his training. In 1995, Moseley enrolled in the University of California but, his education was interrupted by his intense training and it wouldn't be until the year 2000 that he would resume his studies. The following year, he won his first World Cup Mogul.
In 1998, Moseley participated and won the first two World Cup events of the year; this led to his participation in the 1998 Winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan where he won a gold medal. Later that year he secured the 1998 World Cup Mogul Skiing title with nine wins that season. He also won the U.S. National title.
In 1999, Moseley challenged the International Skiing federation to change their policy and to allow their athletes to participate in professional events, such as ESPN's X Games.
In 2000, Moseley won the U.S. Freeskiing Open and in 2001 regained a spot in the U.S. Ski Team at the World Cup qualifications held at Sunday River, Maine. In 2002, Moseley competed but came in fourth place in the Olympic Games.
Among the honors and recognitions which Jonny Moseley has received are a parade in his honor where San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown declared a "Jonny Moseley Day" and handed him the "Key" to the city. He was named "Sportsman of the Year" (1998) by the U.S. Olympic Committee and has been featured on the cover of Freeskier and Rolling Stone magazines.
Moseley launched a web site which sells products with his logo on them and has appeared on Ads for McDonalds, Sprint and Budweiser. Playstation 2 has a game in the market called Jonny Moseley Mad Trix.
Moseley, who currently lives in California, was the host of the MTV reality show "The Battle of the Sexes".

Big RMBS Sale Tests Steamy Market
The riskiest types of residential mortgage bonds that rewarded investors with double-digit gains last year and almost that again in 2013 are about to be tested.
Investors are atwitter with anticipation over what will be one of the biggest sales of non-government mortgage bonds since the financial crisis knocked them into deeply distressed states. Wall Street dealers are circulating an $8.7 billion list of subprime and other risky residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) to investors for a sale next week, demanding that terms be kept quiet until the mission is accomplished, according to Empirasign Strategies, a trade database.
But the sheer size of the list, whose source isn't being disclosed, has investors reconsidering the risk-reward equation after the market's feverish rally over the past year. The supply is rivaling multi-billion dollar sales of RMBS by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 2011 and 2012, the earliest of which overwhelmed demand and helped drive the market into a tailspin.
Speculation grew among trading circles that the bonds are owned by Lloyds Banking Group which on Wednesday got a go-ahead from regulators to fill a multi-billion capital hole through earnings and asset sales, said Adam Murphy, president of Empirasign.
A Lloyds spokeswoman said the bank doesn't comment on speculation.
In general, nonagency mortgage bonds have gained almost 10% already this year, after more than 20% last year, said Bryan Whalen, a managing director at TCW Group. The market — comprised of subprime and other bonds that aren't backed by the government — has seen consistent demand for the past year as the U.S. housing market recovers and because of its relatively high yields.
"As deep as the bid has been, seeing close to $9 billion in a short time period is still a lot to digest," Whalen said.
But while the improving housing market will underpin the nonagency RMBS, the balance of risks between further upside and chances for a correction is growing closer, he conceded.
Right now, Whalen believes the market can absorb the $8.7 billion without much other than a pause in the rally. Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch on Friday wrote that investors unable to find bonds were looking to Europe "as the next potential opportunity to source bonds in considerable size."
What would be worrisome is if other sellers also decide that now is the time to capitalize on today's higher prices.
Brad Friedlander, a portfolio at Angel Oak Capital, says he is still bullish on nonagency RMBS, but with the caveat if "we see a real cascade of these sales."

Trawler, fishing vessel that uses a trawl, a conical net that snares fish by being dragged through the water or along the bottom. Trawlers vary according to the method of towing the net. On side trawlers, the trawl is set and hauled over the side with power winches or manually by a large crew. Outrigger trawlers (a type that includes shrimp boats) drag one or two nets from long booms extending from each side. Stern trawlers are powerful vessels that are often built with ramps for hauling heavy catches up the stern onto the working deck. Powered by engines of up to 5,000 horsepower, modern trawlers drag huge nets that must be hauled by rope winches and large net drums or reels. Large trawlers can be floating factories, cleaning and freezing the fish for processing ashore.

I ran across this idea on Pinterest (shocking huh?) awhile ago and have been using this method for "perfect shredded chicken" ever since. This one definitely falls under the "why didn't I think of that?" category. But hey, at least SOMEONE did! And now all of us can benefit from it!
So that's why I'm posting it here, for those of you who haven't yet been let in on the "secret". I decided to make Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas for Sunday dinner and since it calls for shredded chicken, I just decided to snap a few pics while I was at it. I'm pretty sure the pictures speak for themselves. Just make sure you do this when the chicken is still warm/hot!
Update: a few people have asked for a few more details….so here they are. I used the paddle hook on my KitchenAid…and I did it on a low setting for a couple of minutes. Start slow and speed up as it becomes more shredded.

Researchers from Common Sense Media surveyed 1,013 teenagers and 1,002 parents. Highlights of the study's findings include the following:
- Twenty-eight percent of the teenagers said they had post personal information on their websites, but only 16 percent of parents believe their children did that.
- Some 37 percent of teenagers said they make fun of other students online, but only 18 percent of parents believe their children did that.
As for naked or semi naked pictures and videos, 13 percent of teenagers said they had posted them; however, only two percent of parents thought their teens had done that.

Federal and State Officials
Think about the last time you cast a vote, whether in a school, local, state, or federal election. How did you make your decision? Was it based on the personal qualities of the candidate? The political positions of the candidate? Certain issues of importance to you? Or do you always vote for the same political party? As voters, we choose carefully when electing a government official, taking many different things into consideration. Whether you're electing a new governor and lieutenant governor for the state, a president and vice president for the country, or senators and representatives for the state legislature or the U.S. Congress, you're choosing people to act on behalf of your interests. The decisions of state and federal lawmakers affect your daily life and your future. State and federal officials pass laws concerning the arts, education, taxes, employment, health care, and other areas, in efforts to change and improve communities and standards of living.
Besides the president and vice president of the United States, the executive branch of the national government consists of the president's Cabinet, including, among others, the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, interior, agriculture, homeland security, and health and human services. These officials are appointed by the president and approved by the Senate. The members of the Office of Management and Budget, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the National Security Council are also executive officers of the national government.
Nearly every state's governing body resembles that of the federal government. Just as the U.S. Congress is composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, so does each state (with one exception, Nebraska) have a senate and a house. The executive branch of the U.S. government is headed by the president and vice president, while the states elect governors and lieutenant governors. The governor is the chief executive officer of a state. In all states, a large government administration handles a variety of functions related to agriculture, highway and motor vehicle supervision, public safety and corrections, regulation of intrastate business and industry, and some aspects of education, public health, and welfare. The governor's job is to manage this administration. Some states also have a lieutenant governor, who serves as the presiding officer of the state's senate. Other elected officials commonly include a secretary of state, state treasurer, state auditor, attorney general, and superintendent of public instruction.
State senators and state representatives are the legislators elected to represent the districts and regions of cities and counties within the state. The number of members of a state's legislature varies from state to state. In the U.S. Congress, there are 100 senators (as established by the Constitution—two senators from each state) and 435 representatives. The number of representatives each state is allowed to send to the U.S. Congress varies based on the state's population as determined by the national census. Based on results from Census 2010, California is the most populous state and sends the most representatives (53). The primary function of all legislators, on both the state and national levels, is to make laws. With a staff of aides, senators and representatives attempt to learn as much as they can about the bills being considered. They research legislation, prepare reports, meet with constituents and interest groups, speak to the press, and discuss and debate legislation on the floor of the House or Senate. Legislators also may be involved in selecting other members of the government, supervising the government administration, appropriating funds, impeaching executive and judicial officials, and determining election procedures, among other activities. A state legislator may be involved in examining such situations as the state's relationship to Native American tribes, the level of school violence, and welfare reform.

William Anthony Hawkins, Jr. was born the only child to William Anthony Hawkins and Amanda Bowman Hawkins, in 1947. His father grew up in Maryland, but moved to the District of Columbia and became a postal worker to support his family. Hawkins' mother was raised in Georgia and later attended Howard University where she studied to become a dental hygienist.
Hawkins attended Archbishop Carroll High School, a college preparatory institution. He liked mathematics but came close to failing algebra I, which was based on set theory. Hawkins' grades in mathematics improved as he progressed to higher grades. Since his high school required four years of mathematics, he advanced to solid geometry, trigonometry, logarithms, and an introduction to calculus.
Hawkins began his post-secondary Education at Merrimack College in 1964 for a degree in mathematics. He transferred to Howard University in Washington, DC . Discovering that he did not really want to take certain physics laboratories, he continued to major in mathematics, but changed his proposed second major in physics to a minor. While working to complete his BS, he had the opportunity to study under Dr. Louise Raphael.
In earning his first degree Hawkins overcame several obstacles, the first of which was funding for tuition. Initially his parents helped support him, but in 1966 Hawkins decided to go south to join the civil rights movement for the summer. His mother, fearing for his welfare, threatened to stop funding his Education. Hawkins went anyway and his mother kept her word. When he returned to the university in the fall, he had to look for financial aid. Dr. Arthur N. Thorpe, a physics professor at Howard University, made it possible for Hawkins to attend school. Thorpe hired him to grade papers and teach labs, while seeing that he received a scholarship. The second obstacle was that Hawkins had missed an entire semester of school due to a car accident, but having recovered he still graduated after three and one-half years of college, in 1968.
Hawkins did not really want to apply to graduate school as he wanted to work. In his earnest search for employment, he put off responding to the graduate schools who had accepted him. By the time he realized that gainful employment was not in his immediate future, deadlines had elapsed, and it was too late for Hawkins to accept a scholarship. Fortunately, Thorpe had reserved a scholarship for Hawkins in the Physics Department of Howard University. He took the scholarship and began to re-apply to other graduate programs.
He took a temporary position at Cardozo High School in Washington, DC, where he discovered that he liked teaching. Also at this time of the Vietnam War, the government required him to appear before the draft board to request a teaching deferment. Fortunately, he was granted a draft deferment.
It was not long before he continued his Education in mathematics at the University of Michigan. Hawkins quickly became disillusioned with graduate school. His frustration was fueled by several elements: his grades were not as good as they had been at Howard University and Hawkins was not a flexible student. By refusing to adapt he created a self-imposed obstacle, but he stuck it out. In 1970, Hawkins completed both a MS in Physics from Howard University and a MA in Mathematics from the University of Michigan.
He took a position at Federal City College, a predecessor institution of what is now known as the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), a historically Black University. After four years of teaching, he requested a leave of absence having decided to pursue a doctoral degree in mathematics.
Hawkins returned to the University of Michigan, since he chose not to apply elsewhere because he was not satisfied with his earlier grades. Nevertheless, the university re-admitted Hawkins and provided him with a teaching assistantship. In addition, he was the recipient of a Ford Foundation Fellowship which meant all his course expenses were covered and he had a stipend for living expenses.
Hawkins returned to UDC after finishing his coursework. In order to complete his dissertation in algebraic geometry, he would fly back and forth to Michigan periodically to meet with his advisor, Dr. James S. Milne. Hawkins found the subtle marriage between commutative rings and geometry fascinating, being attracted to the underlying harmony found when these realms connect. His dissertation is entitled, "The Ètale cohomology of Certain p-Torsion Sheaves." A National Science Foundation grant made it possible for Hawkins to publish the results of his dissertation.
In 1990, Hawkins took leave from his position as Associate Professor at UDC where he had been department chair for five years, to become director of a new program, Strengthening Underrepresented Minority Mathematics Achievement (SUMMA) at the Mathematical Association of America. Presently he divides his time between SUMMA and UDC.
As a teacher Hawkins is concerned that many students feel that average grades present an obstacle to future success. He stresses to his students that even though they may face disappointment along the way, they should always endeavor to do their best possible work.

great theme! just a quick question- how would i get the slider such as shown on the homepage loop i.e go back again to the first slide, instead of just stopping? cheers! nick
Hey Nick,
Love to help you but unfortunately we don't offer support here in the comments, you'll have to come to our dedicated support forum. Easier to follow by others that might have encountered the same issues.
Cheers and thanks for your business.
love it! have started modifying the homepage to my needs and have one problem: in index-slider-2.html: is there a way of hiding the progress bar and black buttons under the slider image??
If I set the .playSlider .navigation (in playSlider.css) to display:none it messes up the timing of the slider … is there a "proper" way of hiding this area?? Thanks!!
Love to help you mate, unfortunately we don't offer support here in the comments, you'll have to come to our dedicated support forum. Easier to follow by others that might have encountered the same issues.
Cheers and thanks for your business.
reg. my above post: i have now changed the navigation: true to false (playSlider.js, line 19) which hides the black buttons – but now the animation stops as well??
Is there a documentation about the slider on the hp somewhere?
Thanks for your help!
I wonder if you have this theme as a fluid versus fixed structure, I just changed the css and it works fine except that my background image is fixed: everything expands or contracts nicely but the white background with blue borders stays fixed.
Should I replace the png with a div?
Thanks, Everardo
yes, that should probably work!
One more thing: can I buy the pictures?
the pictures are not included in the archive, as they were used just for presentation purposes. But similar images can be bought from Stock Image websites or even from Themeforest' sister site, Photodune
will there be a wordpress version?
it already exists… on our own website (can't post link here)
hi ThemeFuse,
thank you for a truly AWESOME and premium html template, it is fabulous!
I have a few questions about the Testimonials widget and the Appointment Request Form widget before I buy.
First, can the testimonials widget be customized so the testimonials scroll / move on their own without the user needing to click on the arrow to display the next one? Maybe something I could change like an autoplay jQuery setting etc. to make this happen? If so that would be awesome
If not though, what version of jQuery does this template use? I have a moving testimonials widget from another template I bought that I can "splice" into this one if the jQuery would be compatible.
Also, can the Appointment Request form (calendar) be customized? (this thing is amazing, by the way) For example; what if I wanted to make only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays selectable days for appointments; or only make the next 7 days available. Can Would this be something I can do via the HTML /CSS with Dreamweaver; to toggle days available / unavailable?
And, do you know if the Appointment Request form (the calendar part) will relay the selected appointment date into a contact form submission even if I am not using the contact form script that is included with the template? The reason I ask is because I use webformmailer.php from Godaddy for the contact forms on most of my sites because I usually find the scripts that come with templates don't work for me when I add to the forms and ask more detailed info – Phone #, Cell Phone #, City, State, etc. etc. that aren't pre-defined in the mailer script. Hope this makes sense! Looking forward to working with this template
Hi RubyLu,
We'd love to help you mate, but you'll need to post any issues or questions on our support forum. We don't do support here in the comments. Hard to track by others that might encounter the same issues.
p.s. sorry you had to write this wall of text, but maybe you can copy pasted it in the support forum?
Hey, is there any way of putting the sidebar on the left and the content on the right??
Any help would be really appreciated.
that exact feature is available only in the WordPress version.
could you please reply to my comment as well? Thanks again
Nice looking theme, but file structure very lazy/messy. The main css file references files that don't exist, and there are assets included that are never used.
Clean this up please.
We've made an update, please re download the theme Sorry for the inconvenience.
I accidentally just purchased this file thinking it was the wordpress version. Is there anyway to get a refund?
P.S. I thought there was a wordpress version? Did it get taken down?
the WordPress version is only available on our own website, and not here on Themeforest. Write us an email and we'll see about the refund / discount.
My client just purchased this theme from themeforest, but it's in HTML version. What I need is the WP version. How can I get a refund for this so that I can purchase the WP version?
Thanks, Tom
please contact us via email and we'll figure something out. You can find a contact form in our profile page here on Themeforest, or via our Contact page on themefuse.com
I like this, but would like to see more color options…
first of all: very cool theme – great work ! coud you tell me: where can i get the round icons in your theme – i need to change some but i want to have them all in the same style-
what round icons? the ones from the homepage? those are custom made by us.
... which are pretty cool – did you make some more or just the three on the homepage?
only those 3 unfortunately
Hi Thanks for the Theme! I want to add a reCaptcha to the appointment request form:
What code would follow this script from Google? After here:// Your code here to handle a successful verification
<?php require_once('recaptchalib.php'); $privatekey = "your_private_key"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
"(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
} else {
// Your code here to handle a successful verification
I found the solution on your support page – please disregard previous request. Sorry!
great to hear this, cheers Mike!
I got a little confused with something. Why there is a Shortcode page? Is there a WP Theme?
Great theme.
Yes it is on our website. Can share a link due to Envato policies sorry.
Sent you email on a issue
we reply every email. If it was regarding troubleshooting the customization or installation part, than you will get a reply from one of our support team members via email (or on our forum, if you posted there).

South Korea and the United States launched on Monday two-week joint drills involving thousands of troops, under the name "Key Resolve", following a week of escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula.
North Korea had condemned the annual joint maneuvers as a provocative invasion rehearsal and announced that – effective Monday - it was scrapping the 1953 armistice and voiding non-aggression treaties signed with the South.
The South's Unification Ministry confirmed that the North appeared to have carried through on another promise to cut a telephone hotline between Pyongyang and Seoul.
"The North did not answer our call this morning," a ministry spokeswoman said. The hotline was installed in 1971 and the North has severed it on five occasions in the past -- most recently in 2010.
In a dispatch late Monday from its official news agency KCNA, North Korea restated its view that the armistice, "which has existed for form's sake, would be completely invalid from March 11".
The US-South Korean war games are "bringing the dark clouds of a nuclear war to hang over the Korean peninsula", KCNA added, while vowing that North Korea's armed forces were ready for an "all-out action".
"Key Resolve" is an annual, largely computer-simulated exercise, but still involves the mobilization of more than 10,000 South Korean and 3,500 US military personnel. About 28,500 US troops are stationed in South Korea.

the year before, Henning returned with yet another legendary Houdini feat -- the Vanishing Elephant!
Henning actually made the elephant vanish at the very beginning of the show. This was somewhat of a surprise as the elephant vanish was touted as the big event of the evening (as you can see in the original TV Guide ad right) and it was odd that it would not be saved for the finale.
However, that was all by design, as Henning ended his special by making the elephant reappear. Once again he took a Houdini classic and gave it a fresh new spin.
Henning would perform Houdini's Walking Through A Brick Wall illusion for his third special in 1977...but we'll save that one for next year.
You can watch a later version of Henning's Elephant Vanish in this 1981 clip from his Broadway show, The Magic Show. For the full story of the great Doug Henning, check out Spellbound: The Wonder-filled Life of Doug Henning by John Harrison.

Survey: Start-Up CEOs Expect Strong Revenue Growth in 2012
Though the economy is recovering more slowly than most Americans hoped, start-up CEOs are seeing blue skies ahead for the coming year—and CEOs of venture-backed companies are the most cheery of all.
According to a new poll of its members by ExpertCEO, 80.4% of chief executives expect revenue to increase for their companies in 2012, while 13.8% expect it to remain flat and only 5.8% think revenue will decline.
Nearly half of the 87 CEOs surveyed, 47.1%, expect revenue to grow by more than 20%, and 25.3% expect it to grow from 10%-20%.
Among venture-backed companies the optimism was even greater—82.8% of the 35 venture-backed CEOs surveyed expected revenue to grow while only 2.9% thought it would decline. A whopping 60% thought revenue would increase by more than 20%.
With the increased revenue, a strong majority of CEOs of venture-backed companies expected sales and marketing to see the greatest increase in spending—61.3%–while 22.6% expected product development to get the bigger increase in spending.
That was a bigger sales-and-marketing emphasis than the overall CEO group, 51.1% of which thought sales and marketing would get the biggest increase, with 37.8% foreseeing product development to grow more.
As far as hiring, 55.8% of all CEOs expected their workforces to grow in 2010, while 38.4% expected staffing to stay the same and 5.8% expected a decline. Those numbers mirrored the opinions of venture-backed CEOs.
The full survey includes CEOs mostly from venture-backed and family-owned companies, with a few public companies and non-profits included. Respondents leaned toward small and medium-sized businesses—about 32% had less than a million in revenue, about 39% had $1 million-$10 million, about 15% had $10 million to $50 million and about 14% had more than $50 million in revenue
ExpertCEO is an online community for senior executives and has 2,400 members.

Lifelines. Indigenous Contemporary Art from Australia
October 21, 2015 – September 5, 2016
Lifelines abounds in life and color, its close to 100 works specially selected by guest curator Professor Françoise Dussart of the University of Connecticut. The exhibition features three thematic zones for the key moments along the way: "Lands of Dreams," "Lands of Knowledge," and "Lands of Power."
Lifelines gives us the creation of the world as seen by the indigenous peoples of Australia and expresses their constant dialogue with all that surrounds them. It opens a vital window on the eternal and contemporary concerns of the Australian continent's first human occupants.

We dropped our price. Now it's time for our agent to do her part and drop her fee.
The sellers featured on HGTV were in a tight spot. They just refinanced to overly upgrade a house in relation to its neighborhood and need to sell. The real estate agent has a frank talk about price. However sellers decide to price higher.
No offers follow. Frustrated sellers. Lack of home buyers. And then... The homeowners drop their price.
None of this story is unusual yet what follows catches my ear. The husband announces, "We dropped our price. Now it's time for our agent to do her part and drop her fee. "
Is it a given that an agent who never owned the house, had no say in its past refinancing, should automatically agree to less commission since the seller is running low on equity?
It's frustrating being a seller. Emotions fly higher than a kite. Spending 5 or 6% in equity to sell a house when the family home will barely break even to cover expenses is rough rough rough.
Today I see a dedicated group of Realtors taking care of homeowners in an economy rivaling the great depression. So all I could think to myself is, "If only you'd just asked nicely."
Now I am not debating whether real estate agents should or shouldn't lower commissions for distressed sellers. I am just observing that during times of stress, showing respect in our communication is just as important as in good times.
My heart goes out to sellers caught in a painful real estate market. I admire the sacrifice of real estate agents who continue nurturing home buyers and sellers. Super duper kudos to both sellers and real estate agents able to work within the present confines, showing mutual respect.
Your Friend, Kate Ford
