Utah Jazz are getting John Wall and they don't even need him.
Way to go Isiah.
With a roster full of players such as Larry Hughes, Chris Duhon, Al Harrington, Darko Milicic, Nate Robinson and David Lee that have one year remaining on their current contracts why does watching this team play like the '97 Denver Nuggets not take me by surprise? Is it because most these players know that they won't be Knicks next season and would rather get paid a boat load of cash and bring their C game to the hardwood floor every night? What a way to finish out a wonderful Knick contract by embarrassing an already battered organization even more.This team cannot possibly be this awful after going on a mini run last season and giving their fans post season hopes.I think that most of them just don't care about playing winning basketball and putting in the extra effort.If you were playing out the last year of your contract and knew that you weren't going to be a part of your team's future plans wouldn't you do the same thing?
If the Knick players are tanking this season on purpose then David Stern needs to step into this.He could begin by either suspending these players or by voiding some of their contracts.Maybe this intervention will wake this Knick team up and get them to compete harder.At the pace that this team is going they're destined to make Isiah Thomas' Knicks look like the Bulls of the 90's.Not only is this hurting Knick fans it's hurting the rest of the NBA in general.I'm sure that David Stern would do anything to make the Knicks relevant again.
I promised myself that I wouldn't rant on the Knicks this season but how can any Knick fan not feel disappointed by watching their team start the season losing 7 out of their first 8 games? And the way that the Knicks have lost these games is probably the worst thing to swallow from this.A few heart breaking over time losses combined with some blow out defeats and a nationally televised laugher on their home court would drive the average Knick fan insane. This is suppose to be a year of new beginning, a year in which the Knicks exorcise most of their past demons and a year in which they prove to everyone that they will no longer be the cellar dwelling/non competitive side show of the NBA.I know that they're 74 games regular season games left for the Knicks to play but if they continue to lose 87 percent of the games on their schedule it's best to call it a season.

Isiah Thomas is probably laughing at the struggles of the Knicks right now.
I wouldn't say it's deliberate, but... No one ever did anything to hide that this is considered a transition year, both the coaching staff and the players realise that and therefore they don't die for the games, you know.
Last night Duhon took the most rediculous 3 pointer in transition and I swore he was attempting to sabotage the little run they were on. Does anyone remember the shot i'm speaking of? It made absolutely no sense plus he was about 3 feet behind the 3 point line.
Real Talk
Believe me it is not the players.....with a sound defense/offense plan the Knicks roster is a 4-6 team this season.
Celebrity coach Dantoni have no more to offer this Knick team, and DNP rookie Hill is proof of that.
The problem is with duhon. SSOL needs a capable PG - duhon is not.
The first part of last season, teams didn't pressure Duhon and we're still trying to figure him out - hence he averaged great numbers....then in the second half when they realised he has no jump shot, his handle is shaky and is nothing more than a career backup - they began to play him into his weaknesses and as a result his play suffered and so did the team's. Some might say he broke down from logging too many minutes which may be true but it was also due to the fact that opposing teams figured out how to play him.
This season we're experiencing the same thing and without a capable PG who can hit wide open shots and push the ball, D'Antoni's offense stinks.
Duhon needs to sit and either run a nate/hughes or douglas/hughes backcourt.
Duhon is garbage.
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
They are not deliberately tanking the season. They are just really this awful. We all knew (or should have known) that this team was one of the worst in the league. Come on, look at the players we have...
Hughes-awful (couldn't get off the bench his last two seasons)
Chandler-mediocre to awful, he's athletic and that's it
Harrington-streaky chucker
Nate-streaky chucker
Lee-one dimensional
Gallo-essentially a rookie, still learning
Darko-career backup that is lazy and plays with no passion (biggest bust in draft history)
Curry-fat and useless, not playing, career over
Not a single one of these players would be a starter on a good team. Except maybe Lee and Harrington and that's debatable. At best they're 3rd or 4th options on a good team but most likely coming off the bench. So what did you expect?
I think a lot of people had unrealistic expectations for this team and now they're disappointed. Everybody knew this was another throw away year and the most difficult to endure.

An open letter to Penn & Teller about their appearance on The Dr. Oz Show
Dear Penn & Teller,
I really don't want to say this, but I feel obligated to. I'm afraid you screwed up. Big time. (Of course, if this weren't a generally family-friendly blog, where we rarely go beyond PG-13 language, I'd use a term more like one that Penn would use to describe a massive fail, which, as you might guess, also starts with the letter "f"; I think he'd appreciate that.)
I'm referring, of course, to your appearance on The Dr. Oz Show one week ago (video: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4). Before I begin the criticism, let me just take care of the obligatory but honest statement that I am a fan. I've been a fan for a long time. Indeed, I remember seeing you guys perform in Chicago back in the late 1990s when I was doing my fellowship at the University of Chicago. I've also seen you in Las Vegas a couple of times, most recently a couple of years ago (see pictures below) at TAM. The two of you have become skeptical icons, through your association with James Randi and over the last several years through your Showtime series Bullshit!, which is advertised with the tagline, "Sacred cows get slaughtered here." And so they did for the eight seasons Bullshit! was on TV. When you guys were on, it was a thing of beauty to behold, both from the standpoint of entertainment and skepticism.

For jatropha to reach wonder-plant status, it must be grown on a scale far beyond the village level.states and other political divisions to plant about a half-million acres each. In a predominantly agrarian country where child malnutrition is rampant, entire plantations have sprung up where food crops once grew. Under the threat of imprisonment, households have been forced to buy seed and plant jatropha in backyard gardens. Human rights groups report that teachers and their pupils, along with medical and government workers, have all been pressed into service to plant jatropha.
Science must sort out whether jatropha can be grown on a mass scale that makes it preferable to food-based biofuels.made from coconut oil. Never mind that the British magazine, New Scientist, calculated that it could take 150,000 coconuts to fully power even that short flight. Virgin CEO Richard Branson suggested that jatropha grown on arid soils could be the ticket for a green-fueled aviation industry, whereupon New Scientist calculated that it would take land twice the size of France to grow enough jatropha to power the world's jet fleet. (Dramatic boosts in yields could improve that equation.)

DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
yeah, not to mention all the fans that suffered through the last 10 years, the ones who were left ringless in the 90's, who watched ewing get drafted in '85, the ones who go back through the ages and remember the last knick championships. Knicks have the best fans in the world, we are the reason people want to play in blue and orange. MSG is the MECCA OF BALL.
Welcome to the kids who are growing up watching these knicks.
I remember becoming a Knick fan in 99. They made me fall in love with basketball. I had watched the 96 Finals but wasn't really interested though I liked ball. Then 99 came and that team made me believe anything was possible. Ever since then I've been a fan of this franchise way on the west coast. I've been tortured through the years as have mostly everyone on this board for being a fan of the Knicks. I hate Isayugh w/ a passion. I wish I had gotten a computer earlier in the decade, but it doesn't matter because I feel as welcomed as anyone to be here in these forums with you guys.

So I know solids are still secondary as nutrition untill after a year, but I am wondering if she is eating too many solids. I am EP and JUST keeping up with her demand, but when we went to her 9 month well visit, she fell off the curve for weight. The DR was not worried, but I am wondering if she is filling up on solids and not interested in BM.
Her is her schedule.
3:30-6:30 am 4 oz
8:30 am yogurt and fruit (about 1/2 cup)
10:30am 4 oz
12:15pm 1 veggie (the organic jarred)
3:30 pm 4 oz
5:30 4 oz
7:15 1/2 jar veggie 1/2 jar fruit
8:30 4 oz
I offer her the milk before the solids, but she seems to know that it is solids time and wants them instead. She also eats cheerios, cheese puffs, and other "snacks" through the day.
Does this seem OK??

Vertical Lift isn't my Gift
ASTROS vs ROCKIES GAME 2
I had a dream I caught a home run ball from Todd Helton the night before this game.
I had front row seats for this game.
I clean caught the first BP home run ball of the day within seconds of reaching the pavilion.
I was in the perfect seat to snag Carlos Lee's home run in the first inning.
Here's a link to the video of Lee's homer and my still ongoing quest to catch a live game home run.
I heard the crack of Carlos's bat and I knew immediately that this ball was launched close to where I was sitting. Never taking my eyes off of the ball I got up out of my seat and tracked the ball about ten feet to my left. I found myself pressed against the railing behind me. It all happened so quick, as the ball sailed closer I realized it was going to land slightly over my head. I jumped up as high as my body would let me. I'm still not sure if the ball bounced off of my glove or the dude behind me hit my glove with his, but something touched my glove.
I missed it, the perfect opportunity blown.
I sat back down after this and told Amy who was sitting beside me with her dad, "I might as well go home cause nothing else is even going to come close, that's it for tonight".
I stayed of course but I was right…Great game, the Rockies take two straight from the Astros with a final score of 8-6.
My quest continues….
Robert recently took his VW bus "Jim Morrison" on his final journey. Robert and Jim headed up to Seattle to catch a couple Mariner games and to get a shot of Jim in front of the space needle. Apparently Robert had tried to get the same picture years back and the weather didn't cooperate.
Here's Jim in front of the Space Needle after almost a half a million miles…
Happy Trails Jim…Jim's replacment…Janice.
My VW bus..aka..Vanny Castilla is coming along too.
I'm the Ranter and right now I'm wishing I was one of those guys who had the "Gift of Lift".
Props to the Rockies who continue to play better as the season winds down.

Hey Ranter,
One afternoon in 1997 we headed down to Denver from Vail to catch a game. We got into town early and checked into the hotel to get a quick nap before heading over to Coors Field. As I slept, I had a dream that I caught a home run ball. It was still wrapped in plastic (still not quite sure what that means).
That night I ended up catching a HR clean out of the air in left center off the bat of Vinny Castillo. It was so awesome and I can still feel the emotions in stlow motion when I think about it. It was able to get my friends at home to record SportsCenter that night and later contacted the TV station to get film of the game. So periodically when I want to show my wife how much of an athelete I was I pull out those tapes and play them for her.
The coolest thing about it was that the ushers came down and got my name. A few weeks later I received a contract making me a honorary off the field member of the Rockies. It was signed by Don Baylor and everything. A couple of years ago I had it and the letter that came with it framed with some pics of Vinny. Although I never was able to get him to sign the ball. I have sinced moved to South Carolina and live vicariously through your blog. I really enjoy the live action shots. Keep it up!
Don, when you catch your first game home run, I will trade your button for one of my clean catch pins, I have a few extra lol. Also, they used to give you a certificate saying you were a member of the Rockies, etc., and put the date of your clean catch. I will have to take a photo of one of mine and send it to you, if I can figure out what box I have them in. Dan

Teacher Training | News
Purdue University is launching an online-only version of its master's degree program focused on learning design and technology. The College of Education program, which has been offered in the traditional in-classroom version for nearly 35 years, will launch the online edition in the fall with the hope that the university will draw students from outside of its traditional recruiting base.
The degree prepares students to design, implement, and evaluate learning materials and experiences that integrate instruction and technology for a variety of fields and organizations.
"If training or instruction is involved, someone with a background in learning design and technology likely played a part," said Maryann Santos de Barona, dean of the College of Education. "Fields such as education, business, industry, and the military have a need for effective training and instruction prepared by skilled professionals. Our program incorporates cutting-edge learning theory, educational technology, and instructional development in a convenient online delivery method--taught by the same faculty as the on-campus classes."
According to Timothy Newby, professor of learning design and technology, there will be no fundamental difference between the in-person and online versions of the courses. "The faculty, many of whom are award-winning educators and known experts, are committed to providing the same educational opportunities for our online students. We want all of our graduates to have a complete understanding of how to facilitate learning through the use of technology."
The new program has been in the works for three years. Students will access a virtual classroom interface where they will post coursework, view assignments, and communicate with the instructor and fellow students.
The university is working with Deltak on the new program. Deltak, which reported that it has created 70 different online programs for other colleges and universities, will be helping Purdue with strategic planning, online course development, faculty support, marketing, and student recruitment and retention. Frequently, in these kinds of partnerships, the two organizations have a revenue-sharing model.
Said Mark Pagano, dean of Continuing Education and Conferences at Purdue: "Part of our plan is to experiment with new mechanisms to provide Purdue's high quality programs to new learners. Working with Deltak represents an innovative approach that will facilitate the program launch by providing broader access quickly and in a convenient manner."
Campus-wide, Purdue student enrollments in online-learning classes totaled about 8,200 in 2009-2010, with 35 percent in courses originating on the Purdue campus. The goal is to create capacity by 2012-2013 for 10,000 enrollments in online courses for Purdue students. "We want at least 60 percent of those enrollments in courses originating at Purdue," said Pagano.
The remaining capacity would be available through partner institutions in the Indiana College Network consortium, he explained. The Network is a consortium of colleges and universities with multiple distance learning programs.

By Kevin Wilson and Mickey Winfield: Freedom New Mexico
Eastern New Mexico residents surveyed were optimistic of Gov. Bill Richardson's next move, and the change it will provide in New Mexico.
Richardson is leaving midway through his second term as New Mexico governor to join the Cabinet of President-Elect Barack Obama. Richardson, a Democrat, was tapped on Wednesday to be the next secretary of commerce.
The move, and Richardson's desire to accept, weren't all that surprising, said Paul Hunton of Portales.
"I think that's a great opportunity for him," said Hunton, a service manager for an auto parts store in Portales. "I don't think he planned to stay here anyway. I think he was always looking for a job in the next Democratic administration."
Before running for governor in 2002, Richardson was energy secretary for Bill Clinton's administration.
"I think he brings some experience to the administration," Hunton said. "That's what Obama's trying to do, surround himself with experienced politicians, and I think Richardson fits the bill."
Richardson also spent 14 years as the representative for New Mexico's 3rd Congressional district.
"I think he is the best Congressman we have ever had," said Phyllis June Finley, a retired cosmetologist who lives in Clovis. "He went overseas and he did a lot."
Clovis Mayor Gayla Brumfield approved of the move and said it should benefit eastern New Mexico.
"He's always been such a supporter of Clovis and this area. In this new position, which is supporting (business opportunities), it will help us."
Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, a Hobbs native, will become the state's first female governor when Richardson resigns.
"She's a good friend of mine and a good friend to Portales and to Roosevelt County," Portales Mayor Orlando Ortega said. "She has roots in eastern New Mexico. She understands rural New Mexico, she understands agriculture and small business."
Brumfield agrees, and thinks the change will provide a good amount of continuity.
"Diane Denish has always been a huge supporter of Clovis. She was always in the middle of the (Base Realignment and Closing) things going on. She knows our issues, she's from eastern New Mexico, so she really has a heart for this side of the state. I think she will carry on the tradition and she'll be here for us."
Brumfield, Clovis' first female mayor, said there are concerns that capital outlay not yet spent could be rescinded.
"New Mexico, like the rest of the country, with the economic crisis, is going to face some challenges," Hunton said. "But I think she'll be ready for it."

This is a precondition that you acquire no-fault coverage for your vehicle in NJ however you have a decision to make in terms of the organization by which you buy your insurance from. Getting the proper information about New Jersey auto insurance to assist you in the preparation process of finding the right insurance. Listed here are some questions that are frequently asked in reference to New Jersey Auto insurance.
Why Must I Buy Auto Insurance?
New Jersey law says you have to purchase a no-fault form of insurance. If you are hurt in an accident your policy can now pay all of your medical bills as well as throughout your recovery. You may even be eligible to receive paychecks from your insurance company in place of you not being able to work. This can happen for no more than three years in a row. If you are hurt badly, it could mean you will have a lot of money coming to you for many years. This general precaution is one of the best reasons to have any kind of auto insurance.
What happens if I don't buy it?
If you have a car and you or someone else drives it yet you have no insurance you may be have to pay for all of the damages and injuries that were caused because of the accident. You may very well have to serve jail time and pay significant fines for up to $500. The court may in fact decide to suspend your license as well. So not only could you go to jail but you would have to pay fines and would not have a driver's license. You must have proof if you are ever pulled over.
What kind of info should I ask for when I am going to get a new policy?
Customer service is a big part of why you should go with one company over another. This goes for customer service over the phone as well as their rates and premiums. If you are at any time unhappy with the answers you are being given you are under no obligation to continue your relationship with this company. You want to make sure you both are on the same page so there is not a dispute that hits you later on. Make sure you ask any question that you see fit.
Under no circumstances should you drive without insurance in any state, including New Jersey.


text: My daughter is 6 months old and had been exclusively breast fed until 2 weeks ago when we started solids (banana/applesauce/rice cereal made with breastmilk) of which she hardly eats anything at all. Since she was born, I've had oversupply issues which I managed through feeding her on only one side for every 2 feedings before switching sides. My breasts always felt fairly full until mid-way through the 2nd feeding, but in the past 3 weeks or so, I've noticed that instead of a full feeling, my breasts just feel, well...floppy. When my daughter nurses, I can hear her swallowing and when she pulls off I can see milk and she's having plenty of wet and poopy diapers, but should I be concerned about my supply since I've gone from full to floppy? Should I start switching sides during feedings? An added dilemma is that I have to return to work in 2 months and I don't want to have a low supply when I go back since I'll be relying on pumped milk during the day.

For nearly 100 years, Wichita has been deeply influenced by the aircraft industry. The companies started by Clyde Cessna and Walter Beech today remain major economic forces within the city. The Cessna Aircraft Company is the largest employer in the greater Wichita area and is just three miles from the Extended Stay America Wichita - East. Less than a mile away from the hotel are the facilities of Hawker Beechcraft, Wichita's third largest employer.
Other major aircraft companies, including Learjet, Spirit AeroSystems, Airbus, and Boeing, maintain substantial workforces in Wichita and all are within an easy drive of the StudioPLUS hotel.
Wichita is also a great place to visit, a point punctuated by its 2006 ranking among CNN/Money and Money Magazine's 10 best U.S. big cities in which to live. One local attraction that certainly helped lead to this honor is the Sedgwick County Zoo. Located in northwest Wichita, the zoo is the most popular outdoor tourist attraction in the state of Kansas, and is home to over 2,500 animals representing 500 species.
Just a short eight mile drive from the StudioPLUS is the Exploration Place, a greatattraction for children and adults to spend a few hours. Traveling and permanent exhibits give visitors new insights into our bodies andour world.
If your plans while in Wichita include golf, you will want to visit the Green Valley Greens Golf Course, an 18-hole course just five and a half miles from the hotel.
If you are looking for an affordable, comfortable hotel room in Wichita, Kansas, Extended Stay America is a perfect choice.

Program Description
The first five environmental education volunteers arrived in 2003 with the A11 group. Prior to the arrival of these volunteers, environmental education was provided through the TEFL, Business, and Health volunteers.
The purpose of the Environmental Education project is to assist Armenians in working individually and collectively to raise awareness of local, regional, and national issues that affect both environmental and human health in Armenia. This is accomplished by strengthening and/or establishing the capacity of educational institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and governmental agencies to solve current problems and to prevent future ones.
Primary Projects
include but is not limited to the following:
- Design and implement environmental education programs and workshops for schools, teacher training centers, and community centers
- Assist science teachers in strengthening environmental content in classes

Onorato and Airport Authority Officials Celebrate Inaugural Flight of JetBlue Airways at Pittsburgh International Airport
PITTSBURGH — Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato and Allegheny County Airport Authority Board Chairman Glenn Mahone today welcomed JetBlue Airways to Pittsburgh International Airport during a celebration for its inaugural flight. JetBlue begins its Pittsburgh service with four flights a day to New York JFK and two flights a day to Boston Logan.
"Ensuring the long-term success of Pittsburgh International Airport has been one of the top priorities of my administration. Working with the Allegheny County Airport Authority and the Regional Air Service Partnership, we have brought new low cost carriers, new jobs and new business developments to the Airport," said Onorato. "Today, I am thrilled to add to our list of successes by announcing the start of JetBlue flight service at Pittsburgh International Airport. This is another significant step forward for our Airport and our region."
JetBlue's arrival into the Pittsburgh market will provide tremendous opportunities for travelers from the region. The new flight service will open up competition for two of Pittsburgh's most important business destinations, Boston and New York. JetBlue will help keep Pittsburgh International Airport competitive by providing travelers with better choices at better prices. Increasing access and competition to these two major business centers will also help stimulate additional economic growth for the region.
Flights can be booked at www.jetblue.com. Current advance purchase one-way fares start at $64 to New York JFK and $79 to Boston Logan. "We have been working closely with JetBlue to encourage this new service," said Mahone. "We call on the region's business and leisure travelers to take advantage of this lower cost fare structure and help the airline to grow its network from Pittsburgh."
A key element of JetBlue's strategy is to stimulate demand with low fares that entice price-conscious people who would normally travel by other means or not at all. The airline cites passenger data demonstrating what it calls the "JetBlue effect" on routes to New York and Boston. JetBlue brings fare discipline to the air fare market as it relates to the destinations between which it flies. JetBlue will likely have a "shadow effect" on fares to Newark and LaGuardia as well.
"It has been our goal to attract new carriers and see the existing carriers expand. This celebration today is the result of a great deal of hard work, careful planning, creative enterprise and an unwavering focus on this important vision," said Mahone. "The Airport Authority is elated that JetBlue Airways will be bringing its unique brand of air service to Pittsburgh International Airport."
Jet Blue will offer two flights a day from Pittsburgh to Boston Logan departing at 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and four flights per day to New York JFK departing at 6:00 a.m., 10:35 a.m., 3:40 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. JetBlue will operate the Embraer 190 aircraft, a 100-seat regional jet, on both routes.

TCL > July 2013 Issue > Donald E. Cordova (1938–2003)
About the Author
Miles Cortez is Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Aimco. He is a Past President of both the Colorado Bar Association and the Denver Bar Association. He was a personal friend of Don Cordova—firstname.lastname@example.com.
Born in Trinidad, Colorado on January 26, 1938, in a home with dirt floors, Don Cordova was a fourth-generation descendant of New Mexico and Colorado homesteaders and the sixth of ten children. From these humble origins but with the benefit of a strong family commitment to education and hard work, Don prepared himself well for a professional career in the law that is characterized by and remembered for its professionalism, commitment to excellence and volunteerism, and well-earned success and accomplishment.
Personal History
Don Cordova's parents were Benigno Cordova, a native Coloradan, and Eloyda Ortiz Cordova, a native of New Mexico. Benigno received his degree in education from what is now the University of Northern Colorado and for a time was a teacher in a one-room school in Trinidad. He later became the bookkeeper for the City of Trinidad. Eloyda worked as the cook for the Las Animas County Jail. Both parents were great believers in the value and power of education.
Don received twelve years of a rewarding education at Holy Trinity in Trinidad, administered by the Cincinnati Sisters of Charity, and graduated from Holy Trinity High School in 1956. At Holy Trinity, he excelled academically and served as president of the Student Council, a harbinger of things to come in his professional life. In 1961, he graduated with a BA degree in History from Regis College in Denver, where he had been on the Dean's List and played varsity baseball.
Don's introduction to the law wasn't suggestive of the stellar career that would evolve. On St. Patrick's Day in 1960, when Don was just two months shy of graduating from Regis College, he led a Regis contingent to the merriment at the renowned Duffy's Tavern on Court Place in Denver (as would any fun-loving "Hispanic Irishman"). Realizing when he left the celebration that he'd forgotten his coat, he tried to go back inside but was refused entry by Duffy's bouncer, who was managing the horde still trying to enter the establishment. Undeterred, Don tried to muscle his way back into Duffy's, only to be unceremoniously welcomed by gendarmes of the Denver Police Department. That ignominy was exceeded only by the suspension administered by the Regis Dean of Students for Don's perceived rowdiness, resulting in the postponement of Don's graduation from Regis until 1961. He made good use of the time away from academia by enlisting in the Army to satisfy any possible military obligation. Jack Gallagher and Jim Saavedra, two of his Regis buddies, who remember him as "a natural leader," teased him throughout his life about Duffy's, and Don always took the ribbing in good humor.
A Budding Legal Career
Don was encouraged to attend law school by Colorado Supreme Court Justice Frank Hall. He was admitted to the University of Colorado Law School (CU Law) and was fortunate to receive financial aid from the law school. He worked his way through law school washing dishes and bussing tables in a Boulder restaurant.
After graduation in 1964, Don began his professional career with a brief stint with the law firm of Schmidt & Van Cise, where he worked alongside Dale Tooley, who later would become Denver's District Attorney and a mayoral candidate. Don left that firm to accept an appointment as an Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) in Denver, where he served under U.S. Attorney Larry Henry. During his tenure with the U.S. Attorney's Office, he tried approximately 100 jury cases and twelve appeals.
One memorable story of Don's time as an AUSA was his 1967 prosecution of a case of first impression in Colorado: unlawful possession of LSD. Donald P. MacDonald, a former AUSA himself—and later president of the Denver Bar Association (DBA), from 1981 to 1982—represented the defendant. MacDonald filed a general motion to dismiss, which Chief Judge Alfred Arraj set for immediate hearing without waiting for briefs on the matter. At the hearing, MacDonald argued that there had been no scientific evidence that LSD was a dangerous substance within the letter or intent of the federal statute. A surprised Don Cordova responded: "Well, your Honor, I read in a magazine recently that an elephant was injected with LSD. The elephant died. Therefore, it's clear that the purpose of the statute—" Judge Arraj finished the sentence for him, "is to protect elephants."1
Don's dear friend and U.S. Attorney's Office colleague, Wick Downing, recalls Don's sage advice to streamline Downing's prosecution of a robbery case rather than over-trying it by anticipating the defense case. Downing refers to Don's "core of integrity, his humility, and his sense of gratitude." When Downing's longtime significant other, Mary Halloran, knew that her terminal cancer was about to prevail, the couple asked Don to marry them, which he gladly did exactly forty-one days before she passed away.
Don left the U.S. Attorney's Office in 1968 to join the well-known insurance defense firm of Zarlengo, Mott & Carlin, where he continued to hone his trial skills in the civil courts. In 1983, he launched his own firm, Donald E. Cordova, P.C., specializing in fields of insurance defense, product liability, healthcare and hospital law, and defense of medical malpractice. In 1988, he became one of the founding members of Cordova, DeMoulin, Harris & Mellon, P.C. During his twenty-two years in private practice, Don earned a reputation as an outstanding trial lawyer—highly principled and ethical, a "straight shooter," and a formidable adversary.
Bankruptcy Court Judge—
More Than Up to the Challenge
Much to the surprise of his colleagues throughout the bar, Don was appointed a judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado in 1990. Having built his professional persona in no area of the law remotely related to bankruptcy, he endured some predictable ribbing from some of his closest professional friends. For example, Tom Seawell asked him: "Don, do you even know how to spell bankruptcy?"2 Notwithstanding the jabs, Don was not only up to the task, he absolutely excelled on the bench. One of his colleagues on the bankruptcy court, Judge Sid Brooks, heaps praise on Don's performance on the bench. Using an NFL draft analogy, Brooks called Don the "best available athlete" for the judgeship opening. Brooks said recently:
What he lacked in a substantive bankruptcy law background, he more than compensated for with great lawyering skills. [He had] an understanding of what was required for pre-trial preparation and how to manage trials. As such, he came to the bench better prepared than most new bankruptcy judges and he picked up the substantive bankruptcy law very quickly. He was fair, open-minded, and professional.3
In the learning process, Don was never too proud to ask questions of his bankruptcy court colleagues, particularly Brooks and Don's longtime friend Judge Chuck Matheson.
So successful was Don as a bankruptcy judge that he was appointed Chief Judge of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado in 2002. He became a member of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges, and served on its Board of Governors from 1996 to 1999. From 1994 to 2000, he also served as a member of the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules. Judge Brooks observed that Don was always thoughtful and professional as a judge. He never let personal views interfere with the decision and he was never too proud to ask questions of his more experienced bankruptcy court colleagues. Judge Brooks attributes the fact that his twenty-five years on the bench have been so satisfying and enjoyable to his friendship, camaraderie, and shared humor with Judge Cordova and Judge Matheson.
Professional Recognitions
and Positions of Leadership
Throughout his career, Don was extremely active in the DBA and the Colorado Bar Association (CBA). The honors and awards he received for his efforts and leadership are legion. In 1973, he was presented the DBA Outstanding Young Lawyer Award. He served on the DBA Board of Trustees, was a member of the DBA Centennial and Judicial Administration Committees, and participated in the Metro Volunteer Lawyers and Legal Aid Foundation programs. His commitment to the DBA culminated in his election as president, where he served with distinction from 1987 to 1988. He served as a vice president of the CBA and as a member of the CBA Board of Governors, as well as a member of the CBA Transitions and Diversity in the Legal Profession Committees. He also served a five-year term in the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association. He was a Fellow of both the American and Colorado Bar Foundations.
Committed to diversity in the legal profession and mindful of his rich ethnic heritage, Don served as president of the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association in 1984 and remained committed to mentorship of minority lawyers throughout his career. Don served his law alma mater as president of the CU Law Alumni Board. He was inducted into the CU Alumni Hall of Fame for his many accomplishments. In 2000, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from CU Law.
Not-All-Work Work
Some of Don's happiest memories from his professional life stemmed from his membership in and eventual presidency of the Law Club of Denver. He performed in several of its renowned shows at the bar conventions at the Broadmoor, alongside his beloved wife, Patty. His best friend and law school friend, Senior Court of Appeals Judge Bob Kapelke, recalls fondly Don's memorable performance as "Darth Vinner" in one such infamous Law Club revue. The satiric vignette, as one would expect, was the brainchild of the prolific Kapelke, and sprung from the trial bar's (alternating admiration/disdain) view of Chief Judge Fred Winner of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. Don's Vinner wore the Darth Vader costume from Star Wars, complete with daunting mask. As this particular segment of the show concluded, Judge Winner stood up in the audience and stomped out with a flair, setting the crowd abuzz. The final number of the show featured all the leading characters of the show, including Darth Vinner. But when Darth removed his mask, it was not Don Cordova but Fred Winner himself! Bob Kapelke and Don Cordova had craftily staged the entire huffy walkout by Winner and the surprise ending of the show, much to the delight of the packed house.
Community and Civic Activities
Don's community contributions were remarkable, as well. Among other activities, he served on the boards of the Denver Foundation, Blessed Sacrament Church, and Archdiocesan Housing Committee, and as president of the Latin American Education Foundation. He also was a member of the Channel 6 Council for Public Television for many years.
A Gentleman Through and Through
No small part of Don's professional success was attributable to the quality of his character and his effervescent personality. He was a gentleman in the highest sense of the word, principled and ethical to his core. His nephew Dan Cordova, the head librarian at the Colorado Supreme Court Library, observed that Don had "manners that belied where he came from, and were rooted in the lessons he learned from his parents, the nuns at Holy Trinity, and some inner place."4 Don was Dan Cordova's surrogate father, and he was the reason his nephew moved to Colorado when he was 23 and enrolled in CU Law.
I was the son Don didn't have, and he mentored me as though I were his son. He continues to give me the gift of being who he was, and I strive to be worthy for him. I strive to be articulate as he was, half the husband that he was, and love my children as he did.5
To many, Don's most valuable asset was his wife of thirty-seven-plus years, Patty. Dan was struck by how much Don loved and respected Patty: "I could feel it when he talked about her." A lovely and very accomplished woman in her own right (for example, she served as president of the Colorado Chapter of the League of Women Voters), Patty was the perfect partner for Don. Smitten by a gregarious guy with a smile that "could light up the world," they married in 1965, while Don awaited his Colorado bar results. They raised four daughters—Annie, Amy, Jill, and Jennifer, all of whom pursued successful careers—and have eight grandchildren.
Patty remembers Don as a wonderful husband and father who was humble, never taking himself too seriously nor forgetting from whence he came. His organizational skills came from his mother, his wonderful sense of humor from his father. She recalls that Don had two gears: full force ahead or laid back. "Don loved the law, but he could leave work behind, come home, and be a wonderful family man."6
He had only a couple of regrets. Like many young Hispanics in the 1940s and 1950s, he was discouraged from speaking Spanish so as to better assimilate in the schools. Dan Cordova also recalls Don commenting more than once that he wished he could have spent more time with his girls when they were growing up.
Too Early a Departure
Don Cordova's extraordinary life ended prematurely when he died of a heart attack on February 16, 2003 while traveling in Hermosa Beach, California. Only a few months before, he had undergone a "gold standard" series of cardiology tests that had indicated a clean bill of health, so the sudden death came as a shock to his family and the Colorado legal community.
He had served as a bankruptcy judge exactly thirteen years on the date of his death. Concluding his eulogy at Don's memorial service in Denver, Bob Kapelke summarized it best for all of us who had the privilege of sharing Don's life:
Let me mention just one more special memory that nearly everyone I spoke to, and undoubtedly you, too, will always have of Don Cordova: his warm and infectious laugh. We all loved him and we really miss him.

Cardinals' Furcal to undergo Tommy John surgery
Shortstop likely to miss entire 2013 season
Published On: Mar 07 2013 08:13:26 AM PST
Peter Kozma is expected to be the starting shortstop in 2013.
Furcal's recovery time is projected at seven to eight months, meaning he could be ready for baseball activities sometime in October.
Some question the timing of the decision. Furcal was injured in October, and had he opted for surgery immediately, he would likely have been ready to return around the All-Star break.
Kozma, 24, was a first-round pick in 2007 and has played second base, third base and shortstop.
He played in 82 games in 2012 and hit .333 (24 for 72). He struck out 19 times in 82 plate appearances.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Things Are Going Too Well
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Today there was profit-taking because things are going too well, Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" Wednesday. That logic may seem counter-intuitive but with so many parts of the economy heating up, it's almost time for interest rates to start heading higher.
Cramer told investors not to take their cues from Caterpillar
Travel is also on fire, as US Airways
And the good news keeps coming, noted Cramer -- from more telecom spending to defense contractors hitting all-time highs. With Europe bottoming, these moves could become even more powerful. There may be some pockets of weakness as we've seen with some, but not all, restaurants as well as some, but not all, railroads. However, he said, overall it's clear the U.S. economy is hot enough that the Federal Reserve can't be far from needing to raise interest rates.
Executive Decision: Mike Thaman
In his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Mike Thaman, chairman and CEO of Owens Corning
Thaman attributed the shortfall to the company's roofing products, which were in high demand this time last year but are now following a more normal seasonal pattern. He said the volume is building towards the second half of the year, however, and he expects strong momentum to continue into 2014 and beyond.
When asked about the red-hot housing market, Thaman said what's most important for Owens Corning is that demand is growing in a predictable pattern that allows customers to build their inventories and Owens Corning to raise its prices. He said disruptions in growth cause the building products market to take pause, but things have been growing steady over the past 12 to 18 months.

Laurier-hosted mathletes earn five medals at international math competition
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jul 14/10
After training for a week at Wilfrid Laurier University, six of Canadas brightest math minds posted the best results in decades at the 51st International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in July.
The six Canadian team members were selected from more than 200,000 students in Grades 7 to 12. The selected students attended the Canadian Mathematical Society summer training camp, hosted by Lauriers Waterloo campus from June 27 to July 3.
Team members Robin Cheng, Hunter Spink, Alex Song, Chen Sun, Yuqi Zhu and Jonathan Zung then headed to Astana, Kazakhstan, for the most prestigious math competition for high school students in the world.
All six students excelled at the IMO, which ended July 14. Individually, they brought home two gold medals, one silver medal and two bronze medals, and received one honourable mention. The results placed Canada 13th of 96 countries, an improvement over last years 18th-place finish.
This is one of the best results for Team Canada since 1981, said Laurier math professor Edward Wang, who was the training camps local organizer. The students were incredibly happy with their accommodations and very impressed by and grateful for the hospitality of Laurier.
Wang has been actively involved in various national and international mathematics competitions for 30 years. He chaired the Canadian Math Olympiad (CMO) committee for three years, organized the summer training camp at Laurier in 2008 and accompanied previous teams to IMO competitions in Taiwan, the United States and Greece. Although Wang retired from his 37-year career at Laurier in June, he said he is likely to continue being involved with all aspects of Canadian math competitions.
The IMO began in 1959 in Romania with six countries. Since Canada began participating in 1981, the country has accumulated 19 gold, 41 silver and 70 bronze medals.

The sperm whale was once found in large groups, known as pods, around the world but extensive whaling of the sperm whale has led to it being classified as a vulnerable species today. The sperm whale is most commonly found in the deep ocean, where there is an abundance of food and along continental shelves.
An adult sperm whale can grow to nearly 70ft long, making the sperm whale the largest toothed animal on the planet (although about a third of the length of the sperm whale is made up of it's head alone). Sperm whales have around 50 large teeth in total, which are cone-shaped and weigh about 1kg each.
Sperm whales are not only one of the world's biggest animals but are also one of the deepest diving animals in the ocean (along with elephant seals and bottlenose dolphins), and commonly dive to depths of nearly 500 metres for up to half an hour at a time. It is believed however, that sperm whales are able to dive much deeper reaching depths of around 3 km for periods of 90 minutes or more.
The sperm whale is one of the ocean's largest and most dominant predators, feeding primarily on medium sized squid. The sperm whale is also known to hunt larger squid species including the colossal and giant squids, and also octopus and large fish.
The sheer size of the adult sperm whale means that it has no real natural predators in the ocean, besides being over-hunted by humans. The smaller sperm whale calves however have been known to be taken by killer whales and occasionally large sharks.
After a gestation period that lasts anywhere from a year to a year and a half, the female sperm whale gives birth to a single sperm whale calf into the surrounding water. Calves are thought to suckle (feed on their mother's milk) for up a few years before they begin hunting for themselves. Female sperm whales are able to breed when they are around 10 years old and can live to be beyond the age of 70.
Today, due to centuries of hunting, the sperm whale population is thought to be under threat in the wild. Although the sperm whale population is said to be stronger than that of other whale species, sperm whales are also now under threat from other factors including noise and chemical pollution in the water.

Polar plunge slated for Feb. 16
PARKERSBURG – When it's too cold for some, it's just right for West Virginia Special Olympics.
The first Polar Plunge "Freezin' for a Reason" in Parkersburg will be 3 p.m. Feb. 16 at the amphitheater in Point Park where warm-blooded participants will jump into a frigid pool of water.
It's the first time the event will be held in Parkersburg, said Cheryl Baxter of Parkersburg, a volunteer organizer of the event that has been held in Charleston, Morgantown and Beckley. Her daughter-in-law, Angela Evans, is a co-chairman of the organizers.
The plunge has been held for eight and nine years in Charleston and Morgantown and the last three years in Beckley, Baxter said.
"Since Parkersburg is where West Virginia Special Olympics started, we thought it was appropriate for Parkersburg to have one," Baxter said.
Participants, either individuals or teams of four representing themselves or organizations, will obtain pledges from contributors to take the plunge into the ice-cold pool, Baxter said.
All funds raised will go to Special Olympics.
Events in Morgantown, Charleston and Beckley have raised from $25,000 to $35,000, said John Corbett, executive director of West Virginia Special Olympics. Morgantown and Charleston are the largest events, more than likely because they are the oldest, he said.
"They have become very critical to our fundraising and planning," Corbett said.
All participants will receive a T-shirt and invitation to the post-plunge party at the Blennerhassett Hotel on Market Street. The cost is $5 for non-plungers to attend the party.
The minimum pledge amount is $50. Participants with $200 in pledges also will receive a glass mug. Those with $350 in pledges will receive a fleece jacket, too.
Participants raising $500 in pledges will receive all of the above and a gift certificate for dinner, Baxter said.
A contest will be held for the most original costume, Baxter said.
"Costumes will be encouraged," she said.
Prizes will be awarded to the costume contest winners, she said. Prizes also will be awarded to the team or individual who raises the most money, Baxter said.
Corporate sponsorships and donations are being solicited for prizes, Baxter said.
Entry forms are available at www.sowv.org or by calling Special Olympics at 1-800-926-1616, Baxter said. Participants under 18 must have a release signed by the parents or guardians.
Registration is from 1:30-2:45 p.m. Feb. 16, with the costume contest at 2:30 p.m. Registration forms can be mailed to Special Olympics WV, 1206 Virginia St. East, Suite 100, Charleston, WV 25301.
At 2:55 p.m., a presentation on how to survive the jump will be held prior to the 3 p.m. start of the Polar Plunge.
Swimsuits must be worn, T-shirts optional, and participants can jump in with their costumes, Baxter said. Tents and restrooms will be available to change immediately after taking the plunge, she said.
Participants are advised to bring extra clothing and towels, shoes or slippers and a jacket or robe. No diving will be permitted.
The typical plunger runs the spectrum of society, Corbett said. They are high school and college students to older businessmen, including lawyers and politicians, he said.
Many do it each year, Corbett said.
"The next thing you know they have a streak going," Corbett said.
About 100 people participate in the plunges in Morgantown, Charleston and Beckley, Baxter said. Sometimes as many as 175 take part, she said.
The pool will be at the amphitheater at Point Park, Baxter said. It's a perfect place to view the festivities, she said.
The event will take place regardless of the weather, rain or shine, hot or cold, Baxter said. There is no such thing as too cold for the Polar Plunge, according to Baxter.
"I have broken the ice on top of that pool," she said.
Paramedics will be available at the event, Baxter added.

Yo, Paul, what are you talking about? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not people, they're semi-private, semi-governmental entities. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created to provide White, Blacks were banned by racist policies, WWII veterans with cheap, low cost mortgages, after WWII, as part of the larger efforts involved in buttressing the GI bill.
The only reason that Mac supported attacks against Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae is because they were semi-governmental, and he wanted to privatize them, which is what all conservatives have traditionally supported, as stated by TunerAddict, who blamed Reagan's evil ass for this crisis.
What happened when Republicans allowed privatization of the electric companies? We wound up with blackouts in NYC, in 2002, and lack of necessary service and repair. If you're going to call yourself conservative, please read and study your Republican bible. You can't say you're for monitoring poor lending practices, when your party supports free market, with no restrictions.
Everyone takes money from interest groups, that's just a fact. If you have evidence that Mac hasn't taken any, please post it. If you have evidence that Obama voted against regulation of either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, post the resolution and his vote on this thread. Making unsubstantiated claims is not enough.
I say this as a student of politics, with a BA in political science.
As for the banks taking over our country, let's not get paranoid here. What we need is a brilliant politician, sensitive to the issues, whom I think is embodied in the person of Barack Obama. I never vote or become interested in politics, but this guy is going to at least make things a little better. Our economy will definitely improve under Obama.

text: "Examine your mind" Wendy Davis' 11-hour speech on abortion rights, created a "filibuster" Rick Perry called for a "special session" on SB1 on abortion rights. Each special session cost tax-payers about one million dollars. My opinion is that all members of Texas legislature should "examine their mind" in reference to "The Lord's supper" when Jesus said, "do this in remembrance of me," but "first one should examine their mind" before you partake 'the Lords supper'. You are in the light or in the dark, you are good or evil, and do you want to be in the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan. If the bill passes, then a requirement for Governor Perry and his staff should listen to a baby's mournful cries, with sound equipment amplified, during every abortion. Texas leads the nation on death row. Why should an innocent unborn baby be given the death sentence? Read Psalm 139:13 "He knitted me in my mothers womb."

ELI Releases New White Paper on Analytics in Higher Education
ELI Releases New White Paper on Analytics in Higher Education
ELI has released a new white paper, Analytics in Higher Education: Establishing a Common Language, by Angela van Barneveld, Kimberly Arnold, and John P. Campbell, Purdue University.
The use of analytics in higher education is a relatively new area of practice and research. As with any new area of practice, a variety of terms are adopted to describe concepts and processes. Each of these terms is being integrated into the literature, but a preliminary review of the analytics in education and practitioner literature revealed similar terms with different conceptual or functional definitions, as well as different terms with similar conceptual or functional definitions. The intent of this paper is to present the different descriptions of the various types of analytics being discussed in the academic and practitioner literature.

Some may think that the second graphics processing units (GPUs) within a personal computer (PC) is something excessive, however, Nvidia and Havok, a developer of physics engines, have offered owners of multi-GPU systems yet another advantage: to calculate physics in some of the upcoming games using the power of the second GPU.
"Moving physics processing to the GPU is a natural progression enabled by the high programmability in today's GPUs. By combining expertise with Havok, we have produced a fantastic solution for game developers that will lead to more compelling game-play and more realistic gaming experiences," said David Kirk, chief scientist at Nvidia.
Havok is primarily known as a developer of physics engines for games. In late 2005 the company introduced its Havok FX engine that is designed to perform effects physics on GPUs. In case of a system with two Nvidia GeForce 6- or 7-series graphics cards, one calculates physics effects and another renders images, according to Nvidia.
When originally announced, the developer of the Havok FX engine recommended a powerful graphics card, such as Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX, for physics calculations onto the GPU. ATI Technologies, the arch-rival of Nvidia Corp., also said last year that its high-performance GPUs were also capable of calculating physics.
Given that many game developers already use Ageia's dedicated physics processing units (PPUs) and appropriate software, it is highly likely that Havok's FX will have cost advantage over the PhysX, but will not have time-to-market advantage. Furthermore, it is also unclear whether performance of physics effects calculated on mainstream GPUs will be sufficient.
The Havok FX product is currently in early release to select developers and is expected to be available this summer.
Havok FX supports a new type of rigid-body object called a Debris Primitive. A Debris Primitive is a compact representation of a 3D collideable object that can be processed via Shader Model 3.0 (SM3.0) in a very efficient manner. Debris Primitives can be pre-modeled as part of a game's static art content (e.g. custom/textured boulders, space junk, or collateral objects waiting for an explosive charge). Debris Primitives may also be generated on the fly during game play by the CPU, based on the direction and intensity of a force (e.g. brick and stone structure blown apart by a cannon blast). Once generated by the CPU, Debris Primitives can be dispatched fully to the GPU for physical simulation and final rendering – comprising a powerful blending of physics and state-of-the-art shading effects for particulate and large scale phenomenon.
Havok FX Debris Primitives can even interact with game-play critical objects, through an innovative approach that will provide the GPU with a one-way transfer of critical information that will allow Debris Primitives to respond to game play objects and large-scale world definitions. Havok FX Debris Primitives may be simulated in either OpenGL or DirectX. Havok will provide programming samples that illustrate interaction of Havok FX effects physics with Havok Complete game-play physics, to ensure that Physics Effects based on Havok FX deliver an immersive experience.
