Park Makes it Look Easy at Mission Hills
Inbee Park rose two spots in the Rolex Rankings after sweeping to victory in the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Sunday. The LPGA Tour's first major of the year took place at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The 24-year-old Park closed with a 3-under 69 to finish at 15-under 273, four shots ahead of fellow South Korean So Yeon Reo, who posted Sunday's low round of 7-under 65, and six ahead of Sweden's Caroline Hedwall (68) and Norway's Suzann Pettersen (69).
The win, worth $300,000, was the fifth of her career and second major; her first LPGA title came in the 2008 U.S. Women's Open.
The victory was Park's second of the year and it moved her up two spots in the world ranking right behind No. 1 Stacy Lewis and just ahead of Taiwan's Yani Tseng and Korean Na Yeon Choi. Lewis, also a two-time winner in 2013, had an off-tournament, posting rounds of 73, 71, 71 and 72 to end up tied for 32nd at 1-under 287.
Lewis wasn't surprised by Park's performance. "I've seen Inbee do this before," said Lewis, the 2012 LPGA Player of the Year. "I played with her at Evian last year when she had I think 22 or 23 putts in the final round. When she rolls it, you can't beat her.
"She's the best putter on Tour. The course here is a little softer than normal, so I think that's to her advantage. She doesn't hit it quite as high as some other people, but when she's rolling it you're not going to beat her."
Park was paired in the final round with Lizette Salas, who started Sunday three strokes behind Park. While Park birdied the first two holes, Salas double-bogeyed the first hole and never recovered, posting a 7-over 79 that dropped the Southern California native into a tie for 25th at 2-under 287.
Despite her final-round travails, Salas put on a game face afterwards. "Very disappointed in myself," she told reporters. "But it was one of those days where it could have gone from bad to worse, and starting off with a double wasn't in the game plan, but everyone is going to have those days where they're just not going to be able to score, and bad luck, it was the last day of a major championship for me.
"You know, I have to look at the bright side, and learning from Inbee, there's a reason why she's No. 4 in the world. It's just a learning experience for me, and I'm really upset, but I just have to look back and say look how far I've come from last year to this year. There's lots of positives, and you just have to - I just have to dig deeper and figure out what happened today and just the shots weren't there."
After taking the ceremonial dive into Poppie's Pond adjoining the 18th hole with her caddie and six friends, Park met with reporters and discussed her second major. Here's what she had to tell the media.
MODERATOR: What a great performance over four days, just an incredible putting display. I have to ask, how was the jump for you?
INBEE PARK: It was great. That's the pond I've always wanted to jump in, and I finally jumped in. It was a little bit chilly, though.
Q. Can you tell us who went in with you? I know Brad your caddie, your fiancé?
INBEE PARK: And my swing coach, and a couple of my friends, my trainer. Yeah.
Q. Anybody else? There were a lot of people.
INBEE PARK: There was like three of my friends and my trainer.
Q. With your win today you're projected to go to No. 2 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings when they're announced tomorrow, very close to No.1 Stacy Lewis. How does that feel?
INBEE PARK: That's the place that I've always wanted to go, and I only have one more spot to go. That brings a lot of momentum, keeps momentum going for me, especially after this week. I feel a lot of confidence with my swing and with my putting. Everything has been going the right way this season, and it feels good.
Q. Do you have a wedding date yet?
INBEE PARK: I don't have a wedding date yet.
Q. Did it take a lot of pressure off to birdie the first hole today?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, of course, not just because I had a birdie but I had a birdie on the first hole, and I holed quite a long one on the first hole. I've never really had that.
Q. Did you take a water bottle into the lake with you?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, I did. That was for my dad. My mental coach yesterday, he actually bought a ticket to come yesterday, and he was on his way to the airport. Believe it or not, he was on the way, and packed his bags. I really stopped him because if he came, I would want to win so bad, but that might be on my mind playing today.
Q. Going into the round what was your approach with such a big lead over really one competitor?
INBEE PARK: I never really played conservative all day until the last hole. The last hole I played conservative because I wanted to finish with a par, and that's what I did. All day I really tried to play aggressive, and So Yeon, she was playing very good today, and who knows how many birdies she was going to make, so I had to do my best. Q. So Yeon told us that she has a lot of practice games and bets with you. Does that actually help you and how is your friendship between Korean players?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, it is always good to play with somebody that always plays good. So Yeon is a very consistent player and a very good friend. We probably have at least once or twice dinner together every week, and our friendship is very strong. So Yeon told me this morning that I want to see you jumping into the water and I want you to win, and she was the one chasing me, so that felt very good. I told So Yeon after we played, I told her, you're playing good today.
Q. How long have you known your fiancé, and how were you able to talk your family into letting you get married at such a young age? Most of the fathers out here don't want their children to be thinking about anything but golf in their 20s.
INBEE PARK: Well, they are really supportive of me, and they are really they really respect what I'm thinking, and I told them that I want to travel with him, and he was a very good coach, and he was very helpful with my swing. My parents just were really supportive.
Q. Having him as your coach, does that ever present problems where you don't want him to be your coach, you want him to be your fiancé?
INBEE PARK: Well, he's actually doing a good job on the coach side, so we've never really had problems with that.
Q. Do you consider yourself a good swimmer? Do you like water?
INBEE PARK: I like water. I'm a good swimmer.
Q. In between your victory at the 2008 U.S. Women's Open and last year's Evian Masters you played 72 tournaments between your first and second win. In your last 16 starts you've won four times. How do you explain that?
INBEE PARK: I didn't know that, but I mean, that's a very good story and very good result. That tells me that my game has improved a lot over the years, especially at this stage. I think every tournament that I play in I feel like I learn something and try to take that lesson to the next game. That's been very helpful.
Q. How does your putting in this tournament compare to some of the best putting in your career?
INBEE PARK: Well, at the Evian Masters last year I putted I think very similar to this week. Whenever I've won I believe I've putted very well, like this week. I rarely go over 30 putts per round for the regular tournaments. So over 30 putts for me is a lot for me.
Q. At any point this week did you think about how you might jump into Poppie's Pond if you won?
INBEE PARK: Well, I didn't really think about it because whenever I try to think too far forward, that makes me want it so bad, and that brings a lot of different things, and I just try not to think about the win.
Q. What were the thoughts going through your head as you teed off on 18?
INBEE PARK: Well, I was just thinking how am I going to enjoy this moment? I really enjoyed it.
Q. Just for clarification, the bottle of water for your dad, is that a keepsake or is it doused over his head?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, when I see him next week in Hawaii I'm going to pour it over him. Yeah, that's what he wanted.
Q. Is it true that you were concerned coming here because you're a low ball hitter and you didn't know how good your chances were going to be?
INBEE PARK: Well, because I'm really never afraid of the wind because my ball flight is low. I knew around this golf course it always gets windy in the afternoon, so I was just very confident coming this week, especially with my swing.
Q. You were really young when you won the U.S. Women's Open. Can you talk about how this victory feels compared to that one? And what will you do with the robe?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, the first win in 2008, I was very young. I didn't really - I don't think I even feel that much pressure on the final round because I didn't know what I was doing. It just came to me as a present. But this week I really felt nervous, and I knew what I was playing for. I really handled myself good under pressure, so that's something I'm very proud of. What was the second question?
Q. Do you have a special place for this robe?
INBEE PARK: It'll be in my house in Korea.
Q. I heard that your parents actually went to the airport to cheer you on and come here but you didn't want them to come because it would be too much pressure and it would probably even make you greedy for the cup. And then with your fiancé I heard that you guys are planning to have a date after you win your major this year, so you accomplished that, so are you guys planning to get married this year?
INBEE PARK: Well, I don't think I - where did you hear that from, because after the major I don't think we were thinking about either at the end of this year or probably next year, but didn't really set an exact date. I think when the time comes - there's no rush for the wedding. I'm really happy traveling with him as a fiancé, too.
Yeah, my parents - actually my mom was staying all the time, and my dad just on his own, he wanted to come. He packed his bags and booked a ticket and everything, and he was on his way. I called him and like said, just don't come. He was very mad because he really wanted to come. But really it was tough stopping him, but he actually listened to me, and I'm glad that I won today.
Q. As you reflect on this win and the fact that five of the last eight majors, five have been by Koreans, can you kind of look back a little bit at your roots in the game and Se Ri's influence on you?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, not just me but a lot of the kids in my age, they were inspired by Se Ri, and she was yeah, and she was the role model for us growing up. She was very big in Korea, and she was actually the first woman that actually played professional golf in the U.S., and she won a lot of tournaments.
Q. (Inaudible.)
INBEE PARK: Yeah, they're there every week, and it's always good to have a lot of friends together and competing against each other, improving together.
Q. So Yeon mentioned that you planned to play 32 events this year. Could you talk about playing a heavy schedule and just with all the travel and playing a lot in Japan and moving back and forth?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, I really like playing a lot of tournaments instead of having a lot of weeks off because that way I really get my rhythm going for the tournament. I'm not a big practice player. I try to relax on tournament weeks, too, and I at least take Monday or Monday and Tuesday off.
Q. A common thing that has been said over the past couple days is that Inbee Park does not miss shots. What is your reaction to that?
INBEE PARK: Well, this week I don't think I missed many shots. That's very true. But I'm a human, and I miss shots, too. But this week has been very nearly perfect.
Q. You bogeyed No.10. What was your thought process after that bogey, and did you ever look at the leaderboard at any time?
INBEE PARK: Yeah, I looked at the leaderboard all the time. I mean, I looked at it on No.9, looked at it on 11, 12. I looked at it everywhere. I knew that So Yeon was playing very good, and after No.10 bogey, I felt like I had to go out there and make a couple more birdies, and I really tried to push myself.
Q. Your second major championship. How good does it feel?
INBEE PARK: It feels very good. It has been a while since I won a major, and this is my second major of my career, and it feels very special. This week I played very solid. Today and all week I played very good. Just happy that I have another major under my belt, and just looking forward to it.
Q. Talk about the first hole, you birdied, she doubled. A three shot swing. Did that change your mindset?
INBEE PARK: Well, that made my day much easier, that's for sure. I holed a long one on the first hole, and a birdie start is always a good thing, and I never really shot over par starting with the birdie, so that gave me a lot of confidence.
Q. Just talk about overall you're having a great year, it's your second win. Does this help you this year? You've moved to No. 2 in the Rolex rankings now. Does this help you with your confidence moving forward?
INBEE PARK: Well, I haven't really thought that far forward. Yeah, I've played five tournaments on the LPGA Tour, and I've won two of them, which is a very good start. It's pressure off me for the rest of the season. I'm just going to go out there and enjoy the season.

The key question for every CMO and marketer
Wouldn't you like to know how to adjust your (online) presence in a way that you increase the chance of conversion for each user individually?
Of course you do, but first: what is persuasion?
The goal of persuasion is to change someone's attitudes or behavior.
It's only partly what you want people to do, it's how you ask it!.
If you are getting started with persuasion, we suggest reading Robert Cialdini's Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, is the acknowledged master in the field.
Through traditional testing on your webpages, you can determine which method works best overall.
But really, that just gives you an average.
But individual visitors are not the same, so we keep track of individual customers, and will model them individually.
How does it work?
1. Individual visitors are not the same
We optimize for individuals.
Opposed to other A/B or Multivariate testing applications we keep track of individual customers, and will model them individually.
This means that although version A might work best for the majority of your customers (and thus is the first choice for a new customer) we adapt if a specific – recurring – customer never responds to A. We will try B for him or her, and stick with it if it works.
2. Test the Why instead of the What
We are not interested in button color or size of the font on your page (the What?).
We optimize the influence strategies (the Why?) that are used on a site.
Thus, should you present customer reviews, or discounts, or expert endorsements, or limited time offers… etc. This enables us to create a profile of individual customers based on these influence strategies which can be used for future pitches.
Pitches that are different implementations of the same strategies. The What's? stay dumb and the Why's change the game.
3. Learning beats testing.
We adopt a bayesian paradigm to optimize the explore-exploit tradeoff.
Thus, we don't tell people to use version A after A and B have been visited by a 1000 visitors.
We will keep pitching B every now and then if the uncertainty in our estimates is too high.
This enables us to explore whether a version becomes popular at a later point in time, or for a specific market segment. We thus in real time decide which version to show to a new customer.So what's this Persuasion Profiling that you keep hearing about? Well, in a nutshell, it works like this:
"You present customized content to your website visitors, depending on which persuasive strategies have historically proven to work best on that particular visitor."
Here's the video:
Once we've learned which persuasion technique works best on an individual user on one website, we can customize our communications for that person on other websites. Across channels.

Governor releases funds for projects
Gov. Neil Abercrombie released $21.8 million for airport and highway projects state-wide Thursday, including more than $7 million for Maui projects.
The Valley Isle projects included:
* $4.75 million for repaving a portion of Kahului Airport's Runway 2-20 to comply with Federal Aviation Administration requirements.
* $1.25 million for technical studies and an environmental impact statement for proposed runway improvements at Kahului Airport.
* $1,019,000 for Kekaulike Avenue drainage improvements in Upcountry.
* $100,000 for Kapalua airport aircraft rescue and firefighting station expansion.
"Our state's economy is growing stronger, and it is important that we maintain this positive momentum by continuing to invest in priority capital improvement projects, particularly those maintaining and upgrading our transportation infrastructure," Abercrombie said.
Wailuku gas price rises by a penny
Wailuku's average price for regular unleaded gasoline rose a penny this week to $4.57, which is 6 cents more than last month and 31 cents less than the price at the same time last year, the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch reported Friday.
The Maui price is again the highest among three areas reported in the watch's weekly snapshot of gas prices.
Statewide, the average price this past week was $4.35, a penny less than last week, a penny more than last month and 18 cents less than a year ago. In Honolulu, motorists were paying an average of $4.25 per gallon for unleaded gas, a cent less than last week, the same price as last month and down 13 cents from last year. In Hilo, the average price was $4.36, down 4 cents from last week, 3 cents more than last month and 30 cents less than a year ago.
Man arrested in selling of marijuana
Lahaina patrol officers arrested a Kahului man who admitted he had been selling suspected marijuana near Banyan Tree Park this week, police said.
Daniel Tapaoan, 50, was charged with promoting a controlled substance in or near a school or public park. His bail was set at $10,000.
According to police records, Tapaoan was arrested at 4:46 p.m. Wednesday.
Lahaina patrol Lt. William Gannon said "proactive work by a patrol officer" led to the arrest. In addition to being near the park, the drug sale occurred in the area of nearby King Kamehameha III Elementary School, Gannon said.
The felony charge applies to drug distribution within 750 feet of a school, school vehicle or public park.
County seeks bids on traffic signals
Maui County is seeking licensed contractors to bid on the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Kamehameha Avenue and Kane Street in Kahului.
The project is expected to cost between $500,000 and $1 million.
A pre-bid conference is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. June 20 at the Department of Public Works' Engineering Division office on the fourth floor of the Kalana O Maui building in Wailuku.
Aside from the installation of traffic signals and roadway modifications, the project includes making sidewalk improvements and restriping pavement.
Eligible bidders must be licensed contractors.
Bids will be opened on July 10.
National park overlook to close
The Leleiwi overlook at Haleakala National Park will be closed for a week for repaving and disabled access improvements from Wednesday through June 12, according to an announcement.
For more information, see the park's website at www.nps.gov/hale.
Workplace safety focus of meeting
The topic of why safety in the workplace matters and related issues will be discussed at the noon Monday meeting of The Rotary Club of Kahului at Cafe O' Lei at the Dunes at Maui Lani.
The speaker will be Gordon Gillis, an occupational safety and health/safety engineering consultant with Pacific Safety Solutions & Swinerton Builders. His talk will address the value of keeping everyone safe and the cost/benefit to the employer as well as issues with workers' compensation.
The meeting is open to the public. Lunch costs $20, or there is a $5 program fee charge.
For more information, contact club President Robert Kawahara at 244-5531.

Usagi ("Serena") taunts her brother for being a whimp, resulting in her towel getting stolen by him. She is forced to run after him in her birthday suit to retrieve it.

Hilarity ensues when Asuka yells at Shinji to pass over the soap. He literally throws it over the fence, prompting Asuka to complain about where he just hit her.

With a New Album and a Hit TV Show, Brandy Makes a Smooth Transition from Dream Teen to Wonder Woman
By the truckload, most likely. Since her new single, "The Boy Is Mine," was released in May, it has become a radio and MTV staple. Meantime, Brandy's second album, Never Say Never, a collection of girl-loves-boy ballads and sultry mid-tempo R&B, is expected to sell well into the millions. Of course there's also her weekly TV gig on the UPN network's most-watched comedy. As Moesha Mitchell, an ultrahip high schooler, Brandy has become a teen role model—and also a fashion plate, thanks, in part, to her flowing braids, which are styled every three weeks during eight-hour salon sessions.
Last fall, she added TV trailblazer to her résumé, clearing racial barriers by playing the title character in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. More than 30 million viewers made the fairy tale ABC's highest-rated program of the week. "She is Cinderella," says friend and mentor Whitney Houston, an executive producer of the TV movie and a costar as the fairy godmother. "Brandy knows what she wants, and she goes for it, just like Cinderella."
The only thing missing is Prince Charming. Not that there weren't close calls. Two years ago, Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant, now 19, invited the teenager to his senior prom at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pa. "It was so different for me to be around my peers, because I didn't go to high school," says Brandy, who had a private tutor from 10th grade on. "We had a wonderful time." But, she adds, a more enduring relationship "didn't really happen, because he was so busy and I was so busy."
She didn't fare any better with Boyz II Men singer Wanya Morris, 24, with whom she became friends in 1994. "He was like a brother at first," she says. "Then I got goo-goo-eyed." The two began dating shortly before she turned 18, but the romance burned out after a year and a half. "We were always not together," says Brandy. "It was hard.... We figured it was better for us to be friends." Still, she hopes that someday she'll get it right. "I'm a human," she says. "I want somebody to hug me and say, 'Brandy, you're cute, and I'm glad you're in my life, and I love you' and all that. But it's hard to find that person."
Performing, at least, comes easy. Her parents—church choir director and vocal coach Willie Norwood, 49, and his wife Sonja, 47, Brandy's manager and tourmate—groomed their daughter and their son, singer-actor Willie Jr., 17, for showbiz. When Brandy was 4, her parents moved the family from McComb, Miss., to L.A. to give fate a nudge. "I knew Brandy was going to be a star the day she was born," says Sonja. "I told the doctor that he had just delivered a star and that she was going to be something one day."
Sonja's enthusiasm, however, wasn't universal. As a freshman at the Hollywood High Performing Arts Center, Brandy Norwood had trouble persuading a teacher to send her on auditions like other students. "One day I asked, 'Why aren't you sending me out on calls?' and she said, 'Because you're not drop-dead gorgeous,' " Brandy recalls. "My heart just dropped." Undaunted, she carried on, entering talent shows and eventually performing as a backup singer for the R&B group Immature. In 1993, she landed the role of Danesha on the ABC sitcom Thea and was also signed to a solo contract by Atlantic Records after auditioning for the label. Recalls Darryl Williams, then Atlantic's director of A&AR: "Brandy stood out. She was just energetic and had an incredible voice for a 14-year-old." The following year her self-titled debut album sold more than 4 million copies and produced three Top 10 hits.
At the two-story Mediterranean-style San Fernando Valley home where she lives with her parents and brother as well as her Labrador Labby and her shih tzu Feather, there is ample evidence of her success—and passion for shopping—beginning with a closet full of Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren designer duds and a fully equipped 1997 Range Rover. But, says her mother, "she is not Brandy-the-artist with us. She's just a regular kid. She gets talked to when she misses her [2 a.m.] curfew, and we tell her she always has to be polite to people." No fan of Hollywood nightlife, she enjoys in-line skating regularly and still wolfs down jelly-and-fried-egg sandwiches, a childhood favorite. She's also in no rush to move out on her own. "When you live alone you have to do everything yourself," she reasons. "I don't want the full responsibility of taking out the trash, and if I'm hungry, I can just call my dad, 'Dad, go get me something to eat.' "
Although she talks of returning this fall to Pepperdine University, which she attended in 1996, school may have to wait. There's a role next fall in the sequel to last year's fright flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, a fourth season of Moesha and a possible tour next year. And after that? "I want to produce. I want to direct," Brandy says. "I want success. I want it all. If I die today, I want people to talk about me on every channel."

BC Law Magazine Wins Silver CASE Award
2014 news archive
Newton, MA— BC Law Magazine has won a silver Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District 1 2014 Excellence Award.
The award was given for the feature article "His Horse Was Named Death...and Hell Followed Him," written by Peter Maass, about the Iraq war diaries of alumnus Tim McLaughlin '09.
"It is wonderful to get this confirmation of the splendid work [editor] Vicki Sanders does with the magazine," said BC Law Dean Vincent Rougeau. "We are pleased that the magazine continues to bring engaging content to alumni and friends around the world."
McLaughlin was at the Pentagon on 9/11, commanded a tip-of-the-spear tank during the invasion of Iraq, and his American flag was draped on a statue of Saddam Hussein at Firdos Square when Marines entered Baghdad.
The diaries of McLaughlin were also featured in the recent Boston College Law Library exhibit Invasion: Diaries and Memories of War in Iraq. The exhibit included texts by Peter Maass and photographs by Gary Knight, and presented three different experiences of the invasion of Iraq from within the same unit (Knight and Maass reported on the battles fought by McLaughlin's battalion as it approached Baghdad).
"The article says a great deal about the quality of our alumni and their commitment to service and about the kind of journalism we do in BC Law Magazine," said editor Vicki Sanders.
BC Law Magazine, launched in 1992, is published twice a year. It reaches an audience of over 16,000 readers. It has won numerous awards, among them district recognition in the design and overall categories and four national Circle of Excellence Awards.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 15, 2012.
The Levi Effect is a documentary film about the rise and impact that professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer has had on the world.
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 15, 2012.
Levi Leipheimer has stood atop the podium of cycling's most celebrated contests: The Tour de France. The Olympics. The USA Pro Challenge. The Amgen Tour of California. The Vuelta a Espana. The Tour de Suisse. But beyond the race coverage lies a man whose impact on those around him is even more notable. From the millions in charity work to the reshaping of his hometown, he's done it all nearly silently. Until now.
The Levi Effect is the true story of professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer who left behind the mountains of Butte, Montana for a life of cramped hotels, endless traveling, and shovelfuls of pasta across two continents. Many talented young athletes do the very same, but few can make a home for themselves amongst the agonizing competition of a grueling sport. After years of struggling against the world's top athletes, Levi finally earned a spot in their ranks. Now, at the apex of his career, he finds himself in a place that he'd never considered: that his greatest legacy may not be his racing success on the bike, but rather how he's carried that success off the bike and captured the hearts of fans around the world. In the end, Levi's unlikely impact on the lives of those around him; the community he unwittingly created, will eclipse the headlines and the flashbulbs of his racing career.
Many films have been made about professional athletes over many years. But few have reached beyond their subject's successes and revealed the tangible human components of those people. This film is about understanding a person beyond a dream of athletic success, about somebody who discovered a passion along the way, and how that's manifested in himself and those around him.
Because we have become so passionate about what we are doing with this film, we've opted to distribute it in an entirely unlikely way. Instead of selling this movie to thousands of people, we've decided to give it away. For free.
We struggled with distribution and marketing, licensing and every other complex component of making a movie before we realized that, in order to follow through on what inspired us to make the film in the first place, we needed to get this film out as far and as wide as we possibly could. It's not enough for a cycling fan in California to watch this movie; we want that kid outside Jakarta to watch it on his phone. We want gauchos in Argentina to watch it on laptops. We want people to huddle around screens in Rwanda to watch it at the local internet cafe. We want people to revel in the athleticism, whether they ride bikes or not. We want them to see themselves in Levi's story, whether they've long realized that potential or have yet to achieve it. We want them to be inspired to invest in those around them to make the world a better place, if only by the barest of increments.
And we need your help to do that.
Please support this campaign and help us finish a movie that's nearly across the finish line. Music licensing, race footage, and final edits have yet to be financed, but once done, we can potentially put this inspiring story into the hands of millions, regardless of their means or their location.
The Levi Effect is nearly complete. Help us to shout this story from our rooftops to the entire world.
We've spent the last couple of years cataloging Levi's life at events like the Amgen Tour of California, the US Pro Cycling Challenge, the Tour de France, and the Leadville 100. We've collected race footage from his entire career including teams like Gerolsteiner, Discovery Channel, Astana, RadioShack, and even now in 2012 with Omega Pharma-Quickstep. Most importantly, we've reached out to his friends and contemporaries, including people like Patrick Dempsey, Jens Voigt, Andy Schleck, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, on top of those of whom you may not have heard, those people who equally, if not moreso, demonstrate the Levi Effect. Behind-the-scenes access has (thankfully) been the norm, but never more than at Levi's home, where he's been uncharacteristically open to the camera.
Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every month tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, art, film, technology, design, food, and other creative fields. Every Kickstarter project must be fully funded before its time expires.
If we don't raise enough money to reach our goal, we don't get anything. Not one red cent. Donors pledge the amounts, but they don't actually pay until the goal is reached and the funding deadline has passed. So, the heat is indeed on. We ask you not only to pledge, but to tell your friends about your excitement for this project. Use Facebook and Twitter, email this Kickstarter link to interested friends, or, incredibly, actually tell people face-to-face what you think. Want to help in other ways? Shoot us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll figure something out, we promise.
We firmly believe in the power of this film and in the inspiring quality of Levi to generate that last bit of support to get this documentary out into the world. But we're not about to let hope alone be our fundraising strategy. We got Levi to kick down from his own collection of cycling memorabilia to those who invest in this movie. We're confident that we've got the best incentives ever seen in the annals of Kickstarter; at least that was the standard when we starting chasing these things down. We've even cooked up a short film of him explaining in his own words what's up for grabs, including his Olympic road bike.
In the end, this is as much your film, your story, as it is ours. We hope people are going to understand that and support it simply because of the potential to see an element of themselves in there.

Who is Levi Leipheimer?:
There are a range of prices associated with various aspects of the film. And many of them are dependent on the budget we have to spend. At a minimum, we need to meet our goal. But an over-funded project would be a spectacular thing for this documentary, and it would allow us to take things beyond the finish line.

Rows of shops selling beach buckets and flip-flops line the seafront of Benidorm, the Costa Blanca's largest and liveliest holiday resort town, where hordes of tourists throng the streets 24 hours a day. Of the thousands who come to holiday here on the town's three miles (5km) of white sandy beaches each year, many have stayed and purchased apartments in the numerous blocks that now dot the skyline. Benidorm, north of Alicante, is the party capital of the Costa Blanca with an unrivalled nightlife and a daytime carnival-like beach culture.
Remnants of Benidorm's historic past are now well hidden, but tucked into the Casco Antiguo section are the ruins of a castle built in the 14th century to fend off Berber pirates. Benidorm's spectacular sunsets are best viewed from the castle's 'mirador' (balcony). The place to see and be seen in the town however is the Playa de Levante, a two-mile (3km) boardwalk lined with trendy cafés and bars
Resort Rating
Benidorm's major holiday attractions are its spectacular beaches. The two huge sweeping crescents stretch for over three miles (5km) and are known as Levante and Poniente - Spanish for sunrise and sunset. They are kept meticulously clean and are consistently voted among the cleanest and most popular beaches in Europe. All sorts of watersports can be organised from the beaches from swimming and diving off the man-made rafts to jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing and scuba diving. On the outskirts of town tourists can visit the water parks or Terra Mitica, Spain's largest theme park with a terrifying roller coaster. There are also loads of options for those wishing to escape Benidorm for a day; beautiful mountainous countryside surrounds the holiday resort and jeep safaris and cycle trips around this rugged interior are becoming increasingly popular. Alicante, 25 miles (40km) south of Benidorm, is the Costa Blanca's main city and has a number of interesting sights. Other good days out include a coach trip to the ancient mountain fortress at Guadalest, built by the Moors in 715, and the town of Altea with its delightful medieval cobbled streets and beautiful Mediterranean views, eight miles (13km) north of Benidorm.
Top-rated restaurants in Benidorm include Paneil's, China Garden, India Gate, Mme Butterfly, The Vagabond and Witches Bistro. All the major fast food restaurants are also available and the old harbour is the best place to try out the local cuisine.
Benidorm is one of the biggest nightspots on the Med with something to suit all preferences. There are loads of bars hosting live shows, quizzes, bingo, karaoke and drag shows& and lots of live bands playing everything from Abba to ZZ Top. Those looking for a party in Benidorm should go to Wheeltappers, Sinatras, the Palladium or the Stardust Benidorm.
The streets of Benidorm are lined with gift shops catering for people on holiday and the supermarkets are fully stocked with well-known brands. Prices in the holiday resort are cheap, particularly alcohol and cigarettes. There is an open-air market every Wednesday and a rastro(car boot sale) every Sunday next to the railway station. The town of Altea is worth a visit on Tuesdays for its outdoor market or simply for a leisurely stroll along the promenade, while Alicante is a good destination for shoppers in search of some more sophisticated shops.
Benidorm is not a good choice for those wanting an authentic Spanish holiday; it's a bit like Blackpool in the sun, but for those looking for entertainment and nightlife it can't be beaten. The resort abounds with hundreds of persistent touts trying to sell tourists everything from trinkets to timeshare apartments. There are also insistent promotions staff outside the bars and restaurants, but can be worth chatting up as they sometimes offer free drinks. However, as with any party destination there have been reports of drinks being spiked, visitors out on the town should be wary of leaving their drinks unattended or accepting drinks from strangers. Benidorm caters for all ages; older visitors may think there are too many youngsters while others think there are too many OAPs!

Knowing I had other plans for last Saturday night, I squeezed in two movies back-to-back on Friday.
They were comedies, which I hoped would make the afternoon light-heartedly blur into evening. But after getting caught up with other events over the weekend - namely, the very gratifying world premiere of "When the Mountain Calls: Nepal Tibet Bhutan" in Castle Theater Saturday now the two comedies have melted together into a big blob of memory, like what happens if you forget to empty your pockets before throwing your clothes into the washer and dryer.
This lack of continuity in memory may be because the two films don't have anything to do with one another. It's kind of like a dream. Then again, it might be because at certain points, each movie stops making sense, all by itself.
Neither "Tower Heist" nor "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," managed to unseat last week's "Puss in Boots" from atop the box-office charts. Added together, they barely beat Puss' ticket sales. And the timing of Harold and Kumar's Christmas adventure, almost two months ahead of the actual holiday, suggests that stars John Cho and Kal Penn might not be the only members of the production team to be seriously stoned.
This third installment of the smokin' franchise has Harold moving on to straight, married life in the suburbs, while Kumar has moved on to a bigger bong. On one fateful Christmas Eve they are reunited after an errant joint burns down the Christmas tree in Harold's living room and they embark on a quixotic mission to replace it.
On their ridiculous, R-rated night before Christmas, they manage to break numerous laws, not to mention demolishing every cherished belief in sight. (For example: Yes, they do shoot Santa Claus but it was an accident.)
With Neil Patrick Harrison once again doing a wonderful sendup of Neil Patrick Harris to lead the eccentric supporting cast, the film's biggest co-star turns out to be the 3D in the title. Under Todd Strauss Schulson's manic direction, the R-rated mischief is the rare case where the 3D isn't an add-on to raise ticket prices, but a key ingredient in creating a celluloid contact high.
Sometimes very funny, sometimes way over the line, never bothering to stay within the limits of good taste, it's the 3D that pushes this project in a surprisingly creative direction. The always lively visual effects, from the smoke emanating from the screen to the transformation of Harold and Kumar into claymation or anime, compensate for the pair's impaired judgment - and make Harold and Kumar worth wasting a couple of hours with.
Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and their co-conspirators in "Tower Heist" have more weighty matters to deal with. Stiller plays Josh Kovacs, manager of a modern high-rise apartment whose penthouse-dwelling financier Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda) bears more than a passing resemblance to Bernie Madoff. After Shaw's Ponzi pyramid collapses and he is put under house arrest by FBI agent Tea Leone in his penthouse, the building's staff learn their retirement savings were part of the fortune he lost.
The "Heist" part of the title refers to the not-too-well-thought-out plan by Stiller and the unlikely criminal conspirators he enlists to steal the money back. Never to be mistaken for the supercool "Oceans 11" team are Casey Affleck, Michael Pena, a Jamaican-accented Gabourney Sidibe and a sad-sack Matthew Broderick. Eddie Murphy's "Slide" is their ringer, a street hustler who turns out to be far better at talking the talk than walking the walk.
Apart from a few small problems, like not being especially funny, "Tower Heist" suffers from a bad case of mixed metaphors -from the financier's prized Ferrari to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Brand names suffice for actual plot devices in the unlikely story, with director Brett Ratner and company seemingly grasping for any symbol in sight to cast his motley milquetoast conspirators as modern Manhattan Robin Hoods.
"Tower Heist" arrives amidst a storm of creative efforts trying to amplify the sentiments of Occupy Wall Street and other protests going on across the U.S. But inadvertently, it illustrates some of the problems and contradictions in the movement.
While it's only taken several decades to realize just how wrong Michael Douglas was when he said "Greed is good" in the original "Wall Street," it's a lot harder knowing what to do about it.
Especially out here on our little island that sometimes feels like we're all working on Oprah's plantation, and where the local economy depends a lot on that much-maligned 1 percent.

The extra weight I gained the other day has left. Ah hormones! Generally, it takes about a week or more for it to disappear so I'm happy. EMF sure makes keeping my calories in check easy. I have not tracked my calories for a week but I feel like I am probably continuing to be under my daily goal. I'll try tracking tomorrow. Also it makes it so easy for me not to cheat. I am making cakes for my daughter's sports team and I generally would have been sampling here there and everywhere. NOT this time! Yay.
Hope everyone is having a great day so far.

Shining Like a Lighthouse
A lighthouse cannot steer a ship, she would say. It cannot board the boat and turn the wheel. It can not demand any response from the captain. All it can do is shine.
In the same way, those who are in Christ are also light houses, shining forth what God is like. We cannot command others to worship God. At best, our role is to keep letting others know where the harbor is, where the channels lead home.

Lea recently took her 8-year-old son Lucas and left her abusive husband.
With no child support, the family struggled to make ends meet but was managing with the income from Lea's job at a law office.
When the company downsized, Lea lost her job. She quickly fell behind on rent and other payments. Because of his mother's stress, Lucas began acting out at school.
The duo turned to Jewish Family Services, which provided counseling for Lucas' behavioral problems and an emergency rent payment so they weren't evicted.
The staff is also connecting Lea with employment resources so she can find a new job.
Support for Jewish Family Services is made possible by the Greater Newark Holiday Fund.
Matthew is a 4-year-old boy with autism. He and his four autistic classmates are in a Catholic Charities school with other children.
Because he attends the school, Matthew receives occupational and speech therapy, which benefits him immensely.
His parents are grateful that the boy does not need to be enrolled in a special education school, thanks to Catholic Charities.
Catholic Charities receives financial support from the Greater Newark Holiday Fund.

Bright and Athletic, He Seemed Perfect for Princeton, but This Paper Tiger's Stripes Came from the Jailhouse
This Side of Paradise
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Seventy years and an early spring scandal later, Fitzgerald might have thought his alma mater just a bit too languid. In 1988 Princeton University admissions officers accepted the application of a 19-year-old track star named Alexi Indris-Santana, who boasted a self-taught education, superb Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and a glowing recommendation from the Lazy T Ranch in Utah, where he worked as a cowboy. The school generously postponed his enrollment when Alexi said he needed to care for his dying mother. Eventually Princeton even provided Santana $40,000 in scholarship money.
The only problems with the young man's story were 1) there was no Lazy T Ranch in Utah; 2) his mother wasn't dying; and 3) his name wasn't Alexi. In fact he turned out to be one James Hogue, 31, who had postponed his matriculation to serve a prison sentence in Utah for possession of stolen property—and was wanted there for skipping parole.
And so, two weeks ago, two plainclothes Princeton Borough detectives entered Hogue's geology class and handcuffed him on a fugitive warrant. Then last week, while the stately campus reeled in astonishment, a tense Hogue managed a wink at a classmate as he was arraigned in Mercer County Courthouse in Trenton, N.J. The charges: three felony counts of forgery and one count of theft by deception. On top of that, Hogue still faces possible extradition to Utah.
University officials were first alerted about Hogue several weeks ago after Renee Pacheco, a Yale senior, recognized him at an Ivy League track meet. Certain that she had known him at Palo Alto (Calif.) High School as Jay Huntsman, Pacheco telephoned the high school's track coach, Paul Jones. He in turn tipped off Jason Cole, a reporter for the Peninsula Times-Tribune, who had exposed the Huntsman/Hogue masquerade nearly six years ago. Cole quickly telephoned Pacheco, who told him, "I'll never forget that face and that bowl haircut."
Cole hadn't forgotten either. He contacted Princeton authorities and then broke the story that university runner Indris-Santana was the same James Hogue who, at age 25, had similarly hoodwinked high school officials in Palo Alto. His story there was that he was an orphan whose parents had died in Bolivia and that he had been living on a commune near Elko, Nev., for eight years. Cole did a little digging after Huntsman/Hogue ran in a cross-country meet and learned, sure enough, that no such commune existed. Hogue left Palo Alto High School the day before Cole's first story appeared.
This time, the story emerged before Hogue had the chance to bolt. Actually, the wonder is that he was able to keep the lid on for so long. He was an athlete and a student with a reputation for acing upper-class science courses, an exotic creature who wove fabulous stories about his wayward youth and slept on the floor in his room at Holder Hall. As a measure of his prominence, Hogue was recently selected to join Ivy, an aristocratic Princeton eating club whose former members include Secretary of State Jim Baker and His Royal Highness Saud Faisal of Saudi Arabia.
Two of his track teammates, Captain Bill Burke and Alexis Rocherolle, reflected on Hogue's deceptions. Says Rocherolle: "He said he'd lived outside, eating nuts and berries and hadn't seen television in years. He built a complete image, this mystique that he was an amazing athlete. Then we just sort of bought into the rest of it." Says Burke: "If you asked a question about his past, he always had tons of stories to tell, so he never seemed to be hiding anything." Eileen Kavanagh, a senior on the women's track team who joined Hogue and a close-knit few for weekly happy hours known as Super Tuesdays, says, "He had a certain aura about him because of his background, and he kept that up nicely. He always kept you guessing. You never knew where he stood."
It seems as if no one has ever known exactly where James Arthur Hogue stood. Suffice it to say that it was never in one place for very long. He grew up in Kansas City, Kans., the son of a railroad inspector. (His parents reportedly had given up on him years ago and didn't even know he was at Princeton.) Hogue starred on the Washington High School cross-country team and still holds the school records for the mile and two-mile runs.
After high school Hogue enrolled first at the University of Wyoming, ran in one NCAA regional meet—and then left school. He attended the University of Texas from 1980 to 1983, then dropped off the map. He surfaced in 1985. With his slight, distance runner's build and boyish face, Hogue conned his way into Palo Alto High School as Jay Huntsman.
When reporter Cole began to unravel his skein of deceit, Hogue again left school. He was convicted of check-forging, received probation, then took off for Colorado. He hustled a job on the staff of a cross-training camp in Vail, Colo., claiming he held a Ph.D. from Stanford. But a fellow runner told the camp's founder, Jim Davis, that Hogue was a fraud. Davis confronted Hogue and now recalls, "There was this dead silence. He didn't even bother to answer me."
Meanwhile, in Vail, Hogue had met a bicycle designer from San Marcos, Calif., named David Tesch, 31. When Hogue left Vail in 1987, he appeared on Tesch's doorstep and bunked in for 10 weeks while working in his friend's bicycle shop. Now Tesch says, "I guess he was sizing up my place in order to knock it off." Because soon after Hogue left, someone broke into Tesch's shop and stole $20,000 worth of goods. Hogue was questioned but not charged. Less than a year later, however, a cyclist in St. George, Utah, telephoned Tesch to tell him that Hogue had sold him a precision tool with Tesch's name on it.
Hogue was arrested, convicted of possession of stolen property and sentenced to up to five years. He was paroled in 10 months, despite Tesch's furious efforts to convince the Utah parole officer that she was being gulled. "I was practically screaming over the phone that Jim was conning her and that he'd skip town the minute he got out of the prison door. Which is exactly what he did."
By then, Hogue had already been accepted at Princeton. (Brown also accepted him: Yale and Harvard turned him down.) Thus his last and greatest con began; so it has ended, leaving in its wake a trail of friends feeling sad, angry, puzzled and betrayed. Says sophomore Judson Jacobs: "Maybe he got so involved in his lies that he started to believe them himself. Or maybe he was laughing at us every night."
