SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department
October 1, 2010
MATTER OF GERALD J. D'AMBROSIO, A SUSPENDED ATTORNEY, RESPONDENT.v.GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE OF THE SEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT, PETITIONER.
Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431.
This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the Official Reports.
Order of disbarrment entered.
Respondent was admitted to the practice of law by this Court on June 25, 1969. By order entered November 9, 2007, this Court suspended respondent for a period of one year pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1022.22, effective November 18, 2006, and until further order of the Court, based upon his suspension in Florida for misconduct that included failing to comply with disciplinary rules during a previously imposed period of suspension, failing to provide competent representation and charging an excessive fee (Matter of D'Ambrosio, 46 AD3d 172).
Respondent was disbarred by the Supreme Court of Florida in November 2009 for misconduct that included engaging in the unlicensed practice of law in Illinois and continuing to practice law in Florida while he was suspended. Upon receipt of a certified copy of the Florida order of disbarrment, this Court, by order entered June 23, 2010, directed respondent to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not again be imposed pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1022.22. Respondent appeared before this Court and contended that he was deprived of due process when the Referee in the Florida proceeding took judicial notice of an Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct relating to the unauthorized practice of law, that the determination disbarring him from the practice of law in Florida was not supported by sufficient proof and that the imposition of reciprocal discipline would be unjust. We reject respondent's contentions.
Pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1022.22, an attorney disciplined by another jurisdiction may be disciplined by this Court for the underlying misconduct unless we find that the procedure in the foreign jurisdiction deprived the attorney of due process of law, that there was insufficient proof that the attorney committed the misconduct or that the imposition of discipline would be unjust. We find that respondent was not deprived of due process of law in the Florida proceeding. He acknowledges that he was given notice of the charges against him and was afforded a hearing. Additionally, respondent's contention regarding judicial notice of the Illinois rule was considered and rejected by the Supreme Court of Florida. Nor is there any basis upon which to find that there was insufficient proof that respondent committed the misconduct or that the imposition of reciprocal discipline would be unjust. Following a hearing in Florida, at which respondent was represented by counsel and testified in his own defense, the Referee recommended disbarrment. The Supreme Court of Florida, upon its review of the record and consideration of the brief and reply brief submitted by respondent, sustained the charges and approved the recommended sanction, noting the absence of mitigating factors, commission of cumulative misconduct and respondent's extensive disciplinary history. Accordingly, after consideration of all of the factors in this matter, we conclude that respondent should be disbarred.

Leading European broadcaster Sky is developing a new version of its NOW TV box for launch later this year, part of a policy for 2015 that sees it place a special emphasis on its OTT services.
"We'll have a major marketing campaign rolling out with the new look and feel for the brand," explained Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive Officer, in the course of yesterday's earnings call. "We'll be updating our user interface to drive engagement and consumption and we've got an outstanding line up of new exclusive content, which will bring to the next generation of NOW TV box which will also upgrade later in the year."
Darroch furthermore revealed that in Italy this spring, Sky was planning the launch of a "new IP TV product" in partnership with regional telco Telecom Italia, with a view to marketing its content to around 3.5 million Telecom Italia broadband customers and the many Italian households unable to install a satellite dish.

But amidst the standard internet blather, a familiar refrain keeps manifesting, one that I've pointed to several times in the words of the Ancient Aliens cast members themselves: a spiritual longing that the aliens serve to fill. Here we have evidence from actual audience members (self-selected though they may be) that this religious impetus is not confined just to television alien speculators looking to fill air time.
I can't do a lot about those decisions but I can try and reach out and I trust my friends here on Earth feel the same. We are a united planet that has not been told the truth. I have heard the stories of contact between ET and our leaders. I have heard that our leaders kept this from us and that the aliens obliged our leader's choices. I've heard that our leaders are frightened and refused to let go of nuclear technology and in turn have been ignored by the galaxy as a whole. I want to tell you that these are not our choices. We wish to know you, we wish to meet you and we wish to greet you.
I remember when the show first aired I'd stop on it for a minute while channel surfing. I'd dismiss the theories and try to find a more logical explanation for the things they were talking about. TRY being the key word. Then I picked up Von Daniken's book 'Chariot of the Gods.' Then I started paying more attention. Then I watched every episode of season one, two, & three back to back on Netflix. It makes so much sense! It's become an obsession. This f*cking sh*t is the closest thing to religion that a guy like me could ever ask for. it's given me new perspective on everything I encounter in my daily life.
Worse, the audience seems to find a sense of community with ancient astronaut speculators—a community that it formed in opposition to the elites they feel are suppressing creativity and free expression. Consider this comment by a writer who is still upset that in high school, the writer's science teacher gave a low grade to a paper that cited von Däniken as evidence of alien contact, taking the teacher's lesson about credibility of sources as part of a conspiracy to suppress free thought and calling his teacher "close-minded." The writer claims to have "fastidiously researched the subject, reading Von Däniken and other authors with similar views"—blissfully unaware that they are all copying one another, and contemptuous of actual scholarship in the field.
The most refreshing aspect of Ancient Aliens is that the show doesn't feel it's necessary to quote my 10th grade science teacher -- or anyone else who's going to dryly spout "swamp gas," "the planet venus," or "you're all either crazy or just making it up." Instead, the show presents its evidence, and then lets the viewer decide. Each episode features people I consider "old friends" -- George Noory, David Hatcher Childress, Philip Coppens, Robert Bauval, Erich Von Däniken himself, and others I have come to "know" over years of researching this subject. And the title font is reminiscent of the one used in "Battlestar Galactica!"
Obviously, people who choose to write about their love of Ancient Aliens online are a small subset of the overall audience for the show, and the overall population in general, so we can't extrapolate broader understanding of the show's audience from this sample. But these are real people who watch this show religiously (in both senses), and it is important evidence for how at least some viewers use and employ what Ancient Aliens teaches to create and re-create their identities and their feelings about their position in society.
Anti-elitism, anti-intellectualism, paranoia, ignorance, fear, faith… these are the forces that swirl around the ancient astronaut theory. They are symptomatic of our age and keep popping up again and again, whether with ancient astronauts, pre-Columbian white visitors, creationism, Freemason conspiracies, or any number of similar claims.

United States District Court, C.D. California
June 29, 2015
SHAWN LAFOUNTAINv.MERIDIAN SENIOR LIVING, LLC
R. GARY KLAUSNER, District Judge.
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) Order re Motion to Remand (DE 10) and Motion to Strike (DE 7)
On March 16, 2015, Shawn Lafountain ("Plaintiff"), a former hourly-paid, non-exempt employee of Meridian Senior Living, LLC ("Defendant"), filed a Complaint in Santa Barbara Superior Court bringing a putative class action on behalf of all of Defendant's current and former hourly-paid or non-exempt employees. Plaintiff alleges eleven causes of action against Defendant for various violations of the California Labor Code.[1]
On May 1, 2015, Defendant removed the action to this Court pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"). On May 26, Plaintiff filed the current Motion to Strike Portions of Defendant's Answer. May 27, 2015, Plaintiff filed the current Motion to Remand. For the following reasons, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion to Remand, and DENIES as moot Plaintiff's Motion to Strike.
A defendant may remove a case from state court when the federal court would have had original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). "If at any time before final judgment it appears that the district court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the case shall be remanded." 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c); see also ARCO Envtl. Remediation v. Dep't of Health & Envtl. Quality, 213 F.3d 1108, 1113 (9th Cir. 2000) ("If a case is improperly removed, the federal court must remand the action because it has no subject-matter jurisdiction to decide the case.").
A defendant seeking to remove a case must file in the district court a notice of removal "containing a short and plain statement of the grounds for removal." 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a). In a CAFA case, "the proper burden of proof imposed upon a [removing] defendant to establish the amount in controversy is the preponderance of the evidence standard." Rodriguez v. AT & T Mobility Servs., LLC., 728 F.3d 975, 977 (9th Cir. 2013). "[A] defendant's notice of removal need include only a plausible allegation that the amount in controversy exceeds the jurisdictional threshold... [and] need not contain evidentiary submissions." Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co., LLC v. Owens, 135 S.Ct. 547, 549 (2014). However, if a plaintiff contests the allegations set forth in the notice of removal, "both sides submit proof and the court decides, by a preponderance of the evidence, whether the amount in controversy requirement has been satisfied." Id. at 553.
CAFA grants federal courts original jurisdiction over class action cases that meet the following requirements: (1) the proposed class contains more than 100 members; (2) minimal diversity exists between the parties; and (3) the amount in controversy exceeds $5, 000, 000. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d); Kuxhausen v. BMW Fin. Servs. NA LLC, 707 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2013). Minimal diversity exists when any member of a plaintiff class is diverse from any defendant. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2)(c). Defendant contends that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case, as all three requirements have been met. The Court disagrees with respect to the amount in controversy.
A. Size of Proposed Class
According to Plaintiff, Defendant improperly asserts, without documentation or a declaration, that there are 811 class members. However, in its Opposition, Defendant proffers the declaration of Scott Pechaitis, Esq. ("Pechaitis") who conducted data analysis for this case. Analyzing Defendant's records during the period from June 1, 2013 to February 15, 2015, Pechaitis identified approximately 811 putative class members. (Pechaitis Decl. ¶ 6.) Thus, the Court finds that Defendant sufficiently satisfied its burden of showing a putative class exceeding 100 members.
B. Minimal Diversity of the Parties
The citizenship of an LLC for purposes of diversity jurisdiction is the citizenship of its members. Johnson v. Columbia Properties Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2000). If any member of a limited liability company ("LLC") is itself a partnership or association (or another LLC), the federal court needs to know the citizenship of each submember as well. Id. Defendant has submitted a declaration from Robert A. Sweet ("Sweet"), Defendant's Chief Investment Officer and Vice President. In his declaration, Sweet confirms that Defendant is an LLC consisting of three members: (1) Kacy Kang, a citizen of North Carolina; (2) Kevin Carlin, a citizen of Washington; and (3) White Point Holdings, LP. (Sweet Decl. ¶ 3.) The citizenship of White Point Holdings, LP is determined by identifying the citizenship of its members. In his declaration, Sweet establishes that White Point Holdings, LP has three partners: (1) Charles E. Trefzger, a citizen of North Carolina; (2) himself, a citizen of Maryland; and (3) Timothy P. O'Brien, a citizen of Maryland. (Sweet Decl. ¶ 3.) Therefore, for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, Defendant is a citizen of North Carolina, Washington and Maryland. As Plaintiff is a citizen of California, there is minimal diversity between the parties.[2]
C. Amount in Controversy
In a CAFA case where a plaintiff's state court complaint does not specify a particular amount of damages, the removing defendant bears the burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the amount in controversy exceeds $5, 000, 000. Rodriguez, 728 F.3d at 977. If a defendant's assertion of the amount in controversy is challenged, "both sides submit proof and the court decides, by a preponderance of the evidence, whether the amount-in-controversy requirement has been satisfied." Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co., LLC, 135 S.Ct. at 554 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1446(c)(2)(B)). To satisfy the burden to demonstrate the amount in controversy, defendants may rely upon facts presented in the removal petition as well as any "summary-judgment-type evidence relevant to the amount in controversy at the time of removal." Singer v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 116 F.3d 373, 377 (9th Cir. 1997) "Under this system, CAFA's requirements are to be tested by consideration of real evidence and the reality of what is at stake in the litigation, using reasonable assumptions underlying the defendant's theory of damages exposure." Ibarra v. Manheim Invs., Inc., 775 F.3d 1193, 1198 (9th Cir. 2015). Nevertheless, a court "cannot base [a finding of] jurisdiction on [a] [d]efendant's speculation and conjecture." Lowdermilk v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 479 F.3d. 994, 1002 (9th Cir. 2007).
The Court finds that Defendant failed to meet its burden of proving that the amount in controversy exceeds $5, 000, 000, as Defendant makes assumptions that are unsupported by the allegations in the Complaint or by the evidence. Defendant's calculations assume one hour of unpaid minimum wages per week, one hour of unpaid overtime wages per week, and either one or five missed meal and rest periods per week for each putative class member. Moreover, Defendant assumes that all members of the putative class suffered every violation, at all times without providing evidence to substantiate its theory. Courts have rejected this kind of assumption. See Martinez v. Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., No. 09-CV-2937-L(JMA), 2010 WL 3123175, at *6 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 9, 2010) (rejecting defendant's calculation of overtime hours, meal and rest period violations, waiting time penalties, and wage statement penalties because the variables were not clearly suggested by the complaint or supported by evidence); Roth v. Comercia Bank, 799 F.Supp.2d 1107, 1118-1126 (C.D. Cal. 2010) (finding that defendants' calculations improperly presumed that there was a violation as to each class member even though the complaint contained "[s]tatements suggesting that overtime violations, missed meal periods, untimely payment of wages, and/or provision of inaccurate wage statements occurred regularly and/or consistently or even often") (internal quotations omitted).
As Defendant has not evidentiarily supported the variables used in its amount in controversy calculations, the Court finds its valuation is too speculative. See Ibarra, 775 F.3d at 1199 ("[A] damages assessment may require a chain of reasoning that includes assumptions... [but] those assumptions cannot be pulled from thin air [and] need some reasonable ground underlying them."). Defendant's improper speculations pervade all eleven claims. Consequently, the Court has no adequate basis to determine that the amount in controversy exceeds $5, 000, 000. Thus, Defendant has failed to satisfy its burden of proving that the amount in controversy requirement is satisfied and, as a result, has failed to establish that the Court has subject matter jurisdiction.
In light of the foregoing, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion to Remand. Based on this ruling, the Court DENIES as moot Plaintiff's Motion to Strike.

The faint aroma of an expensive cigar hung in the air as the salesperson strode quickly into the office. The antique mahogany desk sat imposingly almost 20 feet from the door. The sleek custom-built credenza was a shrine for the executive's personal mementos. The autographed, dirt stained baseball that Mark McGuire pelted out of the stadium lay motionless next to other balls that the salesman squinted to identify. A quick scan of the walls revealed the humor of the scratch golfer's friends. LeRoy Neiman personally inscribed "Fore!" on the sepia toned lithograph of the golfer twisting at his swing. The salesperson gathered his thoughts as the executive silently entered. His footsteps were muffled in the deep pile of the sculpted, multi-colored Oriental rug. Are you seeing something? Good. You should.
Motion and memory Can you picture this sales call as if you were making the call? When you speak with your customers you can also grab their attention so they understand your thoughts. Communication that involves all the senses is more memorable to the listener. Your job is to help your customers see as well as hear your message.
When people move or see movement they remember more. In business this is when people shake hands, walk together or reach to exchange something. If you are walking with your customer to the meeting, engage them with the vivid details that you want them to remember. As you hand out your marketing materials say something compelling about your product or service that you want your customer to remember. Think of ways to involve your customers in your demonstrations.
Movement also contributes to an emotional involvement in what people remember. The most memorable experience is when you and another person are both in motion.
Better understanding of what you say comes from using words that involve all of our senses. Your customers will better remember what you say when you use action and vision oriented words. Try to relate your products and services to all of your customer's senses.
Here's how you do this. Ask yourself, "What will they see when they use my products? What will they feel" Use active verbs when you speak. The active voice is more direct and has more energy and momentum than the passive voice. For example, "This product lowers costs" is better to say than "Costs are lowered by this product." Remember this in your written sales proposals as well.
Thanks for the memories You can also help your customers remember what you say. Think of the life experiences that you readily remember. Do you find they involve family, work or a town where you lived? These are three areas that our brains naturally retain. Your messages can be more memorable if you link ideas about your products with family, work, or hometown.
Here's what I mean. When you describe your product, it can be part of a family of products. As you present your product, choose a work situation that your customer is familiar with so he can relate to it. Are there any well known landmarks in your customer's hometown that can be used as symbols of what you and your company represent?

text: I just got a 2G Touch and I love it. I also teach at a university, so I'm trying to make it work for me as much as it can. That said, I need some help and advice. With the Apple A/V cord, I can connect to my in-class projector to show PPTs as MPEG videos. I lose some functionality, but it beats carrying a laptop to class. I'm also assuming that with an AUX cord I can play audio. I also use some Youtube videos, but from everything I've seen and read, I haven't yet seen a way to project the entire iPod screen onto the projector, only videos. I'd love to use Safari (for some university sites) in class, and Youtube, but I don't see a way to do this yet. I do know that there are iPod specific projectors out there, but lack of space in the classroom makes those useless to me. Any advice? Are there any apps out there to help me with this?

"This is an older home that has been renovated into several individual suites.

Discussion in 'iOS Emulators' started by iThrewMyiPodOutTheWindow, Jan 22, 2010.
Do you have to pay for a GBA emulator? I have heard that you need to pay for some emulators.
Yes, the developer of these emulators charges for 3.x emulators.
At least I know he does that with NES?
Buy a prepaid Visa card!
You can find them at gas station-type places.
I am only looking for GBA to play my Pokemon and Yoshi on.
Zod stole part of the code, as is necessary in porting an app cross-platform.
He also rewrote it so that it works on apple devices. You can't just install the psp versions of the emulators and expect them to work
well. you can download gameboy4iphone (GameBoyColor) that's the free on on ZodTTD and MacCiti (i think) if you want gpSPhone, you'll have to buy it for 4.99
Porting =/= stealing. If he had followed the usage guidelines for the original emulators, he could do whatever he wants. But, in order to keep a monopoly on the emulator market he refuses to release the source code - which is a usage requirement for the emulators he's taken.
Separate names with a comma.

Enjoyed the weekend at Rosen House. The Host was very friendly and accommodating. My husband wanted eggs for breakfast and the chief asked how do you want them cooked. Beautiful Christmas décor to help put you in the mood of the season. I would definitely recommend a stay. Easy access to Ft. Worth, just call uber.
Just a great place all around. Really enjoyed the unique character and loved the animals. Hot tub was. nice too. The hospitality was outstanding.
We stayed here for our 25th anniversary. Even though it was an in-town vacation for us we loved exploring this part of Fort Worth that we'd spent little time in prior to this celebration. The B&B is in a historic area, within walking distance to a newly renovated area, and within biking distance to a great deal more. Excellent experience all around.
We stayed her last weekend, and it was wonderful. The only complain was the train loudness, but can't do much about that. We loved the innkeepers, they were as much fun as the historic old house itself. Great italian resturaunt nearby, close to Dallas, nice history and amazing house with really great balcony to sit on, especially when it's training! About the only suggestion would be to put in an enclosed hot tob in the back yard. Will stay again!
My husband and his friends are all turning 50 this year and the wives wanted to do something special. We spent 6 months planning an elaborate Star Wars adventure for them. Their mission: Chewbacca is upset at the loss of Han Solo and his daughter has gone missing. Your mission is to find the 50 year old party girl and get her off the planet back to her father. We spent 2 nights at Lockheart Gables and used it as our base of operations. We had such a good time and had the whole place to ourselves. Many from the group are planning to go back when they are needing a break from the kids and a chance to have together time. The place has an feel of peace and calm that I can't describe. Don't wait another day…go.
Alla and Rick treat you like family. I loved all of the antiques and it was so quiet. The wonderful breakfast made it worth getting up each morning after very late nights. Getting to know Alla and Rick over the weekend was amazing, loved their stories, by the time we left they've become family. Very blessed to have met this couple. Will be repeat customers for sure.
My husband and I always stay at the Rosen House whenever we visit Fort Worth. It is a beautiful, very well kept, clean house.The breakfasts are always delicious. The proprietors, Kelly & "Mom" are very accommodating.
Beautiful host and hostess . Beautiful room . Wonderful relaxed even . Could not have asked for better . Highly recommend to anyone .
Wonderful B&B. My husband and I stay here every time we visit Fort Worth. Great location in quiet neighborhood. Kelly and "Mom" are so friendly and accommodating. Robin W
This was our first getaway to a B&B! And it was awesome! Jim is so very warm and pleasant! He took his time to welcome and set us up for a great stay! Perfect little getaway for time away with the one you love. The farm is a working farm, however it's well maintained no offensive odors and the alpacas are super friendly! Jim went over and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and had a great stay! Rita provided us with a great and filling breakfast on the day of checkout. Already looking forward to our next visit. ~The Fields
We celebrated our 40th anniversary there. Kelly and Deb made us feel to welcomed. The breakfast was awesome! The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. We will certainly return!
Kelly and Deb were great! The only "point off" is for a bathroom door that wouldn't close completely (but, after all, this is an old house subject to settling). I'm sure the problem has been fixed as Kelly is obviously very "handy" and full of boundless energy. The breakfast was top quality and the accommodations show attention to detail. We had a relaxing, "no-pressure" weekend and would definitely return and recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to visit the area.
I would recommend lockheart to anybody and everybody. Bill and Kelly really invested their time to make sure everything was perfect. And the breakfast was amazing and I will be sure to return!
I had a fantastic stay at The Rosen House Inn, which is conveniently located near downtown Ft. Worth. The ladies who run the Inn are delightful and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and pleasant.. Despite my food restrictions, they delivered full, delicious breakfasts that went far beyond the average B&B fare. I will definitely return.
This place is so warm and inviting. We were made to feel like family. The room was gorgeous and spotless. Everything we thought we needed was at our fingertips. We would definitely stay here again!
My wife and I spent a Friday night here last week. The room was wonderful - it locked the outside world outside. The stay was wonderful.
It was my pleasure to stay at the Rosen House Inn while dropping my daughter off at TCU for her freshman year. Kelly and her Mom were very sweet and helped us in any way we asked. It was a small but cozy inn with a beautiful property and swimming pool. Plus the snacks and cookies were an added bonus for hungry travelers.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will be dreaming of returning. Such a beautiful and enchanting setting and the food was delicious.
Loved staying at the Rosen House. Great people. Great place. Loved the pool and proximity to Magnolia Ave for food and drinks. Will come back for sure.
Otis & Krystyn Joines
We absolutely loved the room and the hospitality! We felt so welcome and at home, we will most definitely be back! Wonderful property, wonderful area, wonderful people.
My husband and I decided last minute to stay over night and called Alla! She always treats us like family! Husband and I have stayed at Allas multiple times. This bnb is our home away from home!! Husband is a history buff and loves all the antiques. I love the warm atmosphere and the AMAZING European organic breakfast! You MUST try it! Alla makes everything from scratch! Alla and Rick make the stay at their bnb as comfortable as possible!!
We had such a wonderful day/night at Alla's Historical Bed and Breakfast in Duncanville, Tx. She is such a high spirited woman and the history in the home was amazing. It was a very inviting and comfortable experience. ¿ The food was delicious and organic. I was only able to take a couple pictures before my phone died. I missed my hubby so much and this is exactly what we needed. Thank you for everything.
Only a one night stay for us. Wish it could have been longer. The inn is beautiful, our room was spacious even with a king size bed. Breakfast was the highlight! Delicious food, and fun conversation with owner, Kelly, and other guests. Would definitely stay here again,
The host was friendly. The room was lovely. The food was delicious. The location was ideal. Enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and to restaurants on Magnolia. I can't wait to return for another stay!
This is my second one week stay at Alla's and it feels like coming to visit old friends. Alla and Rick are very welcoming and hospitable. The rooms are very comfortable, cozy, and quiet. My room had a private bath which was a huge bonus! The delicious organic breakfast was made by Alla and chickens roaming in the backyard supplied our fresh eggs. Shopping is very close and Dallas is only minutes away. Alla's Historical Bed & Breakfast will always be the place I stay whenever I'm in town and where I would recommend to all my friends and family.
We came here to celebrate our Wedding weekend. We stayed in the Beloved Cottage and it was absolutely perfect. Bill and Kelly were awesome and very attentive. Breakfast on both mornings was amazing (highly recommend the chocolate chip pancakes). Can't wait until we can visit again!
My husband and I went to Alla's for our honeymoon, upon arrival Alla was so welcoming and outgoing, Alla and her husband Rick make you feel right at home and are so funny. The house has a beautiful large porch to enjoy and inside is filled with very beautiful antiques, we stayed in mama pelts room and the bed is so comfortable. We can't wait to stay at Alla's a second time in the near future.
My boyfriend and I are from Dallas, but we had business in Fort Worth during the week and decided to make a trip out of it! I was so glad we booked a room at the Rosen House Inn. Even with the last-minute reservation, our hostess, Deb, was incredibly hospitable and the house was absolutely gorgeous. So many charming antiques and the beautiful architecture of the house made us feel as though we were living in another age. Our room, the Magnolia Room, was incredibly comfortable - and it came with a nice bottle of red wine which was very generous! The hallway has its own coffee bar and minibar fridge with snacks, treats, and sodas. The following morning, we had a delicious home-cooked breakfast with two other guests and then played with the host's adorable dogs in the backyard. I definitely give this bed and breakfast 5 stars and hope to go back soon! -Grace from Dallas
Amazing experience

(THEBLAZE) — Living in Canada, Sun News Network anchor Brian Lilley has already seen where seemingly innocent gun control measures can lead. During a news broadcast this week, Lilley warned Americans that gun registration led to gun confiscation in Canada, and the same thing will happen in the U.S. if citizens don't defend their Second Amendment rights.
Lilley also told the story of Ian Thompson, who was charged for defending himself with a firearm against four men firebombing his home in Canada.
"We are at a state in Canada where they don't want you using firearms for anything. Ever," Lilley said. "That's the push. And as we look at what's happening in the United States, that's what's happening."
He went on: "So I've got a warning to my American friends: Registration will lead to confiscation. And if you don't believe me, just look at what's happened here."

CfP Special Issue Agile Government and Adaptive Governance in GIQ
Special Issue on Agile Government and Adaptive Governance in the Public Sector
Governments around the world have to respond faster to citizen needs, like the expectation of 24/7 availability and personalized access to government services generated by the so-called 'Facebook generation'. Seamless user-centric experiences on social networking suites, such as Weibo or Twitter, as well as online marketplaces such as Amazon, increase the demand for similar experiences with government services. In addition, industry trends, such as Big Data, predictive analytics methods, and Smart City approaches drive the need to create internal capacity and skill sets to evaluate, respond to, and implement new technologies and internal processes.
The previous new public management era has left many government organizations with a reduced skill set and limited capacity to upgrade their IT infrastructure. As a result, their capability to innovate has been deteriorated due to increasing incentives to outsource especially IT development and services. The HealthCare.gov rollout disaster in the U.S. was a clear indication that the role of information management experts in government is oftentimes limited to contract management tasks, such as planning and oversight. One response from government organizations is to create internal innovation labs, organize hackathons, hire Chief Innovation Officers, or try to recruit industry expertise into government.
We observe first organizational, structural, managerial, procedural, and technological changes to address the changing internal and external environments of government organizations. As an example, the UK and US governments have adopted new organizational structures in form digital services teams that are able to respond faster to ad hoc needs of their internal government clients. They have adopted an agile government approach designing software in a more information- and user-centric way that is standard in the IT industry. Once software is developed, it is shared widely across all levels of government and no longer siloed in one department. In addition, governments need to adapt to changes in their internal and external environments and create systems that allow them to scan trends and identify developments, predict their potential impact on the organization, and quickly learn and implement responses (Gong & Janssen, 2012).
This special issue therefore invites papers that address open research questions that were posed in two recent Viewpoint pieces in Government Information Quarterly by Janssen & Van den Voort (2016) on adaptive governance and by Mergel (in press) on agile government. Adaptive governance should ensure that an organization is able to deal with the changes, while protecting it from becoming unstable. The main characteristics of adaptive governance are decentralized bottom-up decision-making, efforts to mobilize internal and external capabilities, wider participation to spot and internalize developments, and continuous adjustment to deal with uncertainty (Janssen & Van den Voort, 2016). An agile government introduces user-centric software development approaches implemented together with agency-based project managers to shorten the implementation cycle, improve the outcomes of IT projects, and make sure that user needs are considered (Mergel in press).
For this special issue, we welcome conceptual, empirical, qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research papers. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Conceptualization of agile government and adaptive governance, implication, benefits and theory building;
- Specific or distinguishable agile software development approaches for governmental organization and/or digital public service;
- Agile software development project management (e.g. Scrum method) in governmental contexts;
- The impact of applying agile government or adaptive governance on the culture, organizational structure, business processes and individual behaviors;
- The impact of agile government and adaptive governance on policy-making processes, including information acquisition, negotiation, policy formulation, evaluation and examination;
- Information sharing and organizational learning in agile government and adaptive governance environments;
- Adaptation at different levels, traceability and accountability in agile government and adaptive governance projects;
- Principles and approaches to enable/increase adaptability;
- Coordination/mediation mechanisms in adaptive governance;
- Pros and cons of adaptability, barriers and drivers, challenges and opportunities, balance between adaptability, stability, and accountability;
- In-depth and comparative case studies of agile government and adaptive governance in public sector; and
- Whether, and how, agile development approaches lead to user-centric digital government services, processes, and applications.

Using social media metrics and big data analytics for actionable insights
Generate actionable insights from social media and big data
Oftentimes social media use is seen as fundamentally different from other forms of formal organizational communication because of its speed, dynamic, egalitarian nature, but also its informal form. It's important to align the use of social media with the organizational mission. Citizens can passively absorb the information and government can abandon other forms of publication and save taxpayer dollars. Public affairs can design campaigns to gain attention for certain issues, highlight deadlines in all phases of the policy life cycle (Lasswell 1951), or increase participation in offline behavior and online votes (increase turnout). The result might be an increased acceptance of public policy, increased inclusion and reduction of inequality of access (Thomas 1993, Bingham, Nabatchi, O'Leary 2005). Government organizations have the opportunity to diffuse misinformation and rumors, lower the costs of negative campaigning by quickly injecting correct, formal information, and bring in innovative knowledge about and from stakeholders.
Suggestions for practitioners aiming to measure the impact of their social media activities:
- Understand what you are trying to accomplish (increase attention, target certain constituencies, and what it looks like if you succeed with your communication) (DiStaso, McCorkindale, and Wright 2011). How are your social media activities supporting the organizational mission and to which extent do they serve you for example to become more innovative?
- Define a social media strategy and insights that optimize approaches to achieve the goals (Mergel 2012).
- Develop measures that are focusing on behavioral outcomes and not just reach. Have your posts and online interactions helped citizens change their behavior? Did they go out and participate in an initiative for which you need citizen input? Did they change their behavior by applying for a program?
- Display the information on dashboards that are accessible and understandable for decision makers (like the CDC's social media dashboard) to see immediately how citizens are perceiving the information that is sent out by your organization (DiStaso, McCorkindale, and Wright 2011).
- Use the insights to optimize your tactics and identify actionable opportunities for program adjustments (Murdough 2009).
The following flowchart summarizes the steps outlined above:
New article published: Agile Innovation Management in Government: A Research Agenda
I wrote a paper based on my interviews with CTOs and digital service innovators in the U.S. federal government. The goal of the paper is to bring together the elements that lead to innovations in digital service delivery. I contrast traditional software development processes with elements of an agile innovation management approach. The result is a research framework and research questions for future explorations:
AbstractGovernments are facing an information technology upgrade and legacy problem: outdated systems and acquisition processes are resulting in high-risk technology projects that are either over budget or behind schedule. Recent catastrophic technology failures, such as the failed launch of the politically contested online marketplace Healthcare.gov in the U.S. were attributed to an over-reliance on external technology contractors and failures to manage large-scale technology contracts in government. As a response, agile software development and modular acquisition approaches, new independent organizational units equipped with fast reacting teams, in combination with a series of policy changes are developed to address the need to innovate digital service delivery in government. This article uses a process tracing approach, as well as initial qualitative interviews with a subset of executives and agency-level digital services members to provide an overview of the existing policies and implementation approaches toward an agile innovation management approach. The article then provides a research framework including research questions that provide guidance for future research on the managerial implementation considerations necessary to scale up the initial efforts and move toward a collaborative and agile innovation management approach in government.
New paper: #BigData in Public Affairs published in PAR
Karl Rethemeyer, Kim Isett, and I just published a new paper in Public Administration Review with the title "Big Data in Public Affairs".
Our goal for this article is to define what big data means for our discipline and raising interesting research questions that have not been explored yet. Here is the abstract of our article. Please email me if you can't access the full paper:
This article offers an overview of the conceptual, substantive, and practical issues surrounding "big data" to provide one perspective on how the field of public affairs can successfully cope with the big data revolution. Big data in public affairs refers to a combination of administrative data collected through traditional means and large-scale data sets created by sensors, computer networks, or individuals as they use the Internet. In public affairs, new opportunities for real-time insights into behavioral patterns are emerging but are bound by safeguards limiting government reach through the restriction of the collection and analysis of these data. To address both the opportunities and challenges of this emerging phenomenon, the authors first review the evolving canon of big data articles across related fields. Second, they derive a working definition of big data in public affairs. Third, they review the methodological and analytic challenges of using big data in public affairs scholarship and practice. The article concludes with implications for public affairs.

Award: Research stipend from IBM's The Center for the Business of Government
IBM – The Center for the Business of Government has announced a new round of winners of their research stipends. I won an award to write about my research on digital service transformation in the U.S. federal government.
Here is the announcement text:
The Center for The Business of Government continues to support research by recognized thought leaders on key public management issues facing government executives today.
The Center for The Business of Government continues to support reports by leading thinkers on key issues affecting government today. We are pleased to announce our latest round of awards for new reports on key public sector challenges, which respond to priorities identified in the Center's research agenda. Our content is intended to stimulate and accelerate the production of practical research that benefits public sector leaders and managers.
My report will focus on the following topic: "Implementing Digital Services Teams Across the U.S. Federal Government"
In 2014, the White House created the U.S. Digital Service team and the General Services Administration's 18F group. Both groups are using agile software development processes to design and implement high-profile software projects. The results of this report include lessons learned during the scaling up efforts of digital service teams across the departments of the U.S. federal government. These will focus on managerial design aspects, organizational challenges, motivations of digital swat teams and their department-level counterparts, as well as first outcomes in the form of digital service transformations in each department. This research report aims to support the presidential transition team's efforts by outlining the current efforts of scaling-up digital service teams and their lessons learned, as well as observable outcomes of digital service teams across the U.S. federal government.
Congressional hearing about @18 and @usds operations and @gao report
I just watched the Congressional hearing of the 18F and U.S. Digital Service Oversight committee. The hearing was initiated by a GAO report titled: "DIGITAL SERVICE PROGRAMS: Assessing Results and Coordinating with Chief Information Officers Can Improve Delivery of Federal Projects" published on June 10, 2016.
The report showed that most agencies were fully satisfied with the digital swat teams that helped them fix their IT problems:
The GAO inspectors talked to four CIOs (DHS, DOD, VA, DOS). The first three were fully aware and happy with the services 18F and USDS provided to their agencies. The State Department's CIO was not aware enough, but then paddled back and said in follow-up discussions that he had actually been satisfied and involved from the beginning. Nevertheless, GAO found that CIOs need to be fully involved and IT acquisition should not happen behind their back – based on a statement of one CIO who had forgotten about the initial meetings he was involved in.
18F and USDS were criticized by the private sector witnesses for their opaque operations, vague agreements, and that they introduce an agile delivery BPA process that not all vendors and contractors want to follow due to intellectual property right protection. The agile blanket acquisition agreement encourages future contractors to showcase their code and ability to use agile methodologies in order to comply with the draft open source policy and lightweight production cycles. Vendors who don't want to participate won't be able to be involved in selected future IT acquisitions. Clearly that raises red flags on all sides, but moves government IT acquisition toward a disruption of the clearly broken IT acquisition process.
Communication and transparency are huge factors in explaining how a young start-up inside of government functions, moves their operations along, and comes up with oversight and accountability procedures and structures. The 18F blog is a valuable resource for a general audience, but I do believe that there is an industry-inherent over-reliance on publishing code and text on the social coding side Github. IT professionals value this resource highly, will find code, reuse it, or help the federal government to improve the code, but I don't think that the community can expect Members of Congress or GAO inspectors to learn and read Github updates. This is where the bureaucracy meets the digital swat teams and more communication is necessary.
I was dismayed to hear the low profile USDS and 18F were keeping in their testimonies. There is so much more data out there that was already published on non-traditional outlets, such as Medium or blogs, that clearly shows how many millions of dollars the digital teams have saved the agencies they worked with. Why not show the numbers? No one else can show them except for those teams that have actually worked on comparing vendor data with digital service team data. Do it!
Generally, I recognize the statements of the private sector witnesses as a sign that they fear the disruption that 18F and USDS have started. This is a good thing — but needs to be aligned with the expectations and regulations that are there to protect government and its citizens against rogue behavior. As the chair of the oversight committee said: "Y'all should be holding hands and work on this together, because you y'all have the same goal."
[Will update this post as process some of the statements a bit more]

Suggestions for a Big Data curriculum for public managers
The Journal of Public Affairs Education just published a symposium on Information Technology and Public Affairs Education. The symposium combines articles with a broad range of viewpoints, including IT skills and competencies, challenges adopting new technologies such as GIS, and how these topics can be integrated into the MPA curriculum.
I contributed a paper titled "Big Data in Public Affairs Education". I found the topic interesting because it is challenging program directors to reconsider the existing MPA curriculum: There is a lot of conversation that MPA programs should focus on emerging topics that are now relevant to the challenges public sector employees face in their day-to-day operations. These topics include the use of Internet-generated data to combine them with administratively collected data and display them on dashboards for real-time decision-making. But also other topics, such as using GIS technology and sensors to make cities 'smart'. There is usually very little room in the standard curriculum to integrate these topics.
Therefore I decided to review the existing literature, show what is already taught in MPA programs and where the gaps are, and then create a syllabus tailor-made for future public managers. My opinion is that big data is not an IT topic – and it makes little sense to compete with Data Science programs at iSchools or computer science departments. Instead, it is a very real management problem and should be taught using a critical management perspective.
I used Mason's PAPA model to cover different dimensions of the issue and provided literature and cases that cover 13 different modules for a semester-long course on Big Data Management in the Public Sector.
The journal is open access. The full symposium is available here and my article on Big Data is available here.
Here is the abstract:
Public affairs schools face the challenge of including emergent topics in their curricula to prepare students for the public sector job market. Some such topics reflect advances in the use of information technologies; others reflect updates to industry standards or changing needs of public sector information management professionals. This article focuses on big data that are created through citizens' use of new technologies and the combination of administratively collected data with online data. Big data require changes in government information management skills, including collection, cleaning, and interpreting unstructured and unfiltered data; real-time decision making based on early signals and patterns that emerge; and new organizational roles and tasks, such as open innovation and change management. This article reviews the existing literature, compares big data requirements in neighboring disciplines, and suggests 13 modules for a big data syllabus that extend Mason's PAPA model of ethical considerations for the information age.

IBM Report: Social Intranet – Insights on Managing and Sharing Knowledge Internally
IBM The Center for the Business of Government has published my new practitioner report titled "The Social Intranet – Insights on Managing and Sharing Knowledge Internally".
The report highlights four different social networking sites (think: Government's own internal Facebook) that are designed to increase collaboration and knowledge sharing opportunities among public servants. The insights are based on qualitative interviews I conducted with public managers who were in charge of designing the social Intranet sites and a review of the existing press coverage and academic literature on enterprise social technologies.
I included four different cases at different maturity stages and with different audiences and purposes:
- The Department of State's Corridor site
- The intelligence community's iSpace
- NASA's SpaceBook, and
- The Government of Canada's GCconnex site.
The full report is available via IBM's report page here.

Factors Related to Amount and Type of Leisure Time Reading.
Greaney, Vincent; Quinn, John
Diaries showing how 920 Irish fifth graders spent their leisure time on three designated days within one week augmented data about the children's personal, school, and home characteristics to aid in determining the primary factors related to the amount and type of leisure time reading. The children reported spending a median time of 60 minutes per week in leisure reading, primarily with either books or comics, but also with newspapers. While gender and reading attainment emerged as the strongest predictors of leisure reading, the most significant finding was the apparent complexity of leisure reading: although earlier studies related the individual variables used in this study to leisure reading, those same variables collectively accounted for only 22.9% of the variation in time devoted to book reading, 7.46% of the variation in time spent reading comics, and 18.75% of the differences between book and comic readers. These low percentages suggest the need for much more research to increase understandings of leisure time reading. (RL)

"Rhododendrons" Top 5 Page for this destination Portland Local Custom Tip by glabah
Portland Local Customs: 57 reviews and 90 photos
Rhododendrons grow wild in the Cascade mountains. Naturally, Portland would be well suited for many of the domestic varieties. So, despite the fact that the flowers usually don't last long, this is a very popular plant in many yards in Portland. They are easy to maintain in this climate (plant them in the ground and ignore them for the most part) and provide cover all year long.
You will notice that sometimes the rhodies here get confused. One of the ones I have in my yard had one blossom that opened in June - way too late in the year for normal flowers from these plants. Furthermore, sometimes some of the plants will do a very light blossoming in fall.
Aside of being used to decorate many Portland yards, gardens and parks, there is also a Portland Rhododendron Garden that is a really nice place to visit during the peak season.

Intellectual Property and Access to Im/material Goods
Elgar Law, Technology and Society series
Edited by Jessica C. Lai and Antoinette Maget Dominicé
Chapter 7: Patents, human biobanks and access to health benefits: bridging the public–private divide
Aisling McMahon
This chapter examines downstream patents on inventions developed as a result of research on specimens stored by publicly funded human biobanks. Examples of such patents may include: patents for new medicines or further applications of existing medicines and patents for diagnostic tests. A tension can arise in this context between public and private interests. Individuals donate to such biobanks often on the basis of providing physical samples for the benefit of broader scientific and medical research. However, downstream inventions may subsequently become subject to patent protection thereby placing such inventions outside the public domain, as access becomes dictated by the patent holder. This creates a potential tension between the donation of physical bio-specimens as an altruistic act to benefit public health and the use of intangible patent rights, which limit access to downstream benefits arising from such research for the duration of patent protection. This chapter examines this tension, focusing on three questions, namely: whether and to what extent should research generated in this context be subject to downstream patents? If patents are granted to what extent should biobanks, donors of bio-specimens and/or the public share in these rights? And, finally, what mechanisms should be employed to ensure the public interest in accessing benefits generated by such research is safeguarded? The chapter argues that intellectual property rights should be maintained in order to encourage innovation but, alongside this, further dialogue is needed to develop a stronger culture that fosters broader dissemination of research findings. Furthermore, greater emphasis should be placed on benefit sharing to ensure access to downstream inventions. Taken together, these mechanisms would promote health research and foster innovation whilst also strengthening benefits for the public.

7 Qualcomm Stadium Tips
Print your tickets! Print your tickets! Print your tickets!star this tip starred
Take public transit. We did because I heard it's awful getting in and out of that parking. I believe they open the parking 4 hours before for the tailgaters and they can continue until 2 hours after the game. Make sure to take a clear bag (no purses, backpacks, etc.). Must be a clear bag otherwise you have to check your bag in for a fee of $20 (rip off)!star this tip starred
The traffic into the stadium was horrendous. As with any big event like this, make sure to leave early. I also saw a bunch of people walking to the stadium; they were smart since they didn't have to deal with the traffic when it was time to leave.
