United States District Court, N.D. California, San Jose Division
July 14, 2014
ANTHONY MARCUS, Plaintiff(s),v.UPS, et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO REMAND [Docket Item No(s). 13]
EDWARD J. DAVILA, District Judge.
Plaintiff Anthony Marcus ("Plaintiff") was terminated from his employment with Defendant United Parcel Service ("UPS") in 2012. He then initiated the instant action against UPS and his former manager, Loren O'Donley, [1] in Santa Cruz County Superior Court asserting a number of claims related to alleged workplace discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination, including a claim for inducing breach of implied contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. See Compl., Docket Item No. 1, Ex. A.
Defendants removed the case to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1441. They contend the Complaint contains a federal question because the claims for induced breach of implied contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing are completely preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act ("LMRA"), 29 U.S.C. § 185 et. seq.
Plaintiff disagrees and filed the Motion to Remand presently before the court. See Docket Item No. 13. The court has carefully reviewed the parties' pleadings and finds this motion suitable for decision without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b). The hearing scheduled for July 18, 2014, will therefore be vacated.
The Motion to Remand will be denied for the reasons explained below.
Removal jurisdiction is a creation of statute. See Libhart v. Santa Monica Dairy Co. , 592 F.2d 1062, 1064 (9th Cir. 1979) ("The removal jurisdiction of the federal courts is derived entirely from the statutory authorization of Congress."). In general, only those state court actions that could have been originally filed in federal court may be removed. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) ("Except as otherwise expressly provided by Act of Congress, any civil action brought in a State court of which the district courts of the United States have original jurisdiction, may be removed by the defendant."); see also Caterpillar, Inc. v. Williams , 482 U.S. 386, 392 (1987) ("Only state-court actions that originally could have been filed in federal court may be removed to federal court by defendant."). Accordingly, the removal statute provides two basic ways in which a state court action may be removed to federal court: (1) the case presents a federal question, or (2) the case is between citizens of different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75, 000. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1441(a), (b); 1332(a).
When removal is based on the presence of a federal question, the court looks to the face of a well-pleaded complaint to determine whether a cause of action is created by federal law or whether the plaintiff's right to relief necessarily depends on the resolution of a substantial question of federal law. Christianson v. Colt Indus. Operating Corp. , 486 U.S. 800, 808 (1988) (citing Franchise Tax Bd. of California v. Constr. Laborers Vacation Trust , 463 U.S. 1, 27-28 (1983)). "[I]t must be clear from the face of the plaintiff's well-pleaded complaint that there is a federal question." Duncan v. Stuetzle , 76 F.3d 1480, 1485 (9th Cir. 1996). The complaint as it existed at time of removal dictates whether removal jurisdiction is proper. Libhart , 592 F.2d at 1065.
Sometimes federal question jurisdiction can arise even when a federal claim is facially absent from a well-pleaded complaint. "[W]hen a federal statute wholly displaces the state-law cause of action through complete pre-emption, ' the state claim can be removed." Aetna Health Inc. v. Davila , 542 U.S. 200, 207 (2004) (quoting Beneficial Nat. Bank v. Anderson , 539 U.S. 1, 8 (2003)). "Complete preemption... is really a jurisdictional rather than a preemption doctrine, [as it] confers exclusive federal jurisdiction in certain instances where Congress intended the scope of a federal law to be so broad as to entirely replace any state-law claim.'" Marin Gen. Hosp. v. Modesto & Empire Traction Co. , 581 F.3d 941, 945 (9th Cir. 2009) (quoting Franciscan Skemp Healthcare, Inc. v. Cent. States Joint Bd. Health & Welfare Trust Fund , 538 F.3d 594, 596 (7th Cir. 2008)).
On a motion to remand, it is the removing defendant's burden to establish federal jurisdiction, and the court must strictly construe removal statutes against removal jurisdiction. Gaus v. Miles, Inc. , 980 F.2d 564, 566 (9th Cir. 1992) ("The strong presumption' against removal jurisdiction means that the defendant always has the burden of establishing that removal is proper."). "Where doubt regarding the right to removal exists, a case should be remanded to state court." Matheson v. Progressive Speciality Ins. Co. , 319 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir. 2003).
As noted, Defendants believe two of Plaintiff's claims are preempted by § 301 of the LMRA since Plaintiff's employment at UPS was governed by a Collective Bargaining Agreement ("CBA") with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union, of which Plaintiff was member.
Section 301 of the LMRA vests federal jurisdiction over "[s]uits for violation of contracts between an employer and a labor organization representing employees in an industry affecting commerce[.]" 29 U.S.C. § 185(a). The Supreme Court has expanded the preemptive scope of Section 301 to cases for which resolution "is substantially dependent upon analysis of the terms of an agreement made between the parties in a labor contract" or collective bargaining agreement ("CBA"). Allis-Chambers Corp. v. Lueck , 471 U.S. 202, 220 (1985).
"[S]tate-law causes of action are preempted if they are either based upon a collective-bargaining agreement or dependent upon an interpretation of the agreement." Ramirez v. Fox Television Station , 998 F.2d 743, 748 (9th Cir. 1993) (citing Hayden v. Reickerd , 957 F.2d 1506, 1509 (9th Cir. 1992)). However, "[c]auses of action that only tangentially involve' a provision of" a CBA, or which assert non-negotiable state rights independent of anything provided by a CBA, are not preempted by Section 301. Id.
A two-step test is used to sort out those claims that are preempted from those that are not:
First, the court must ask "whether the asserted cause of action involves a right conferred upon an employee by virtue of state law, not by a CBA." If the answer is no, then the claim is preempted by 301. If the answer is yes, then the court must ask whether the claim is "substantially dependent on analysis of a collective-bargaining agreement." If the answer is yes, then the claim is preempted by 301; if the answer is no, then "the claim can proceed under state law."
Rodriguez v. Pac. Steel Casting Co., No. 12-cv-00353, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76757, at *9, 2012 WL 2000793 (N.D. Cal. June 1, 2012) (internal citations omitted) (citing Burnside v. Kiewit Pac. Corp. , 491 F.3d 1053, 1059 (9th Cir. 2007)).
The court need not look past the first step of the analysis for this motion because the two claims at issue plainly involve a right conferred by the CBA. Here, Plaintiff asserts in the claim for induced breach of implied contract that "Defendants did not have good cause to discharge [Plaintiff] for misconduct." See Compl., at ¶ 49 (emphasis added). Since the presumption under California law is something different - that "[a]n employment, having no specified term, may be terminated at the will of either party on notice to the other" - Plaintiff's claim founded upon a presumptively-higher "good cause" standard for employment termination can only be based upon a provision of the CBA. Cal. Lab. Code § 2922. Indeed, the CBA contains such a provision at Article 4: "[a]ny employee may be discharged or suspended for just cause...." See Decl. of Curtis D. White, Docket Item No. 16, at ¶ 3, Ex. A. It is therefore preempted by Section 301.
The claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing is similarly reliant on the CBA. "The implied covenant tort is designed to protect the job security of employees who at common law could be fired at will." Young v. Anthony's Fish Grottos, Inc. , 830 F.2d 993, 999 (9th Cir. 1987). Such a claim is preempted and "waived where the collective bargaining agreement contains terms concerning job security." Chmiel v. Beverly Wilshire Hotel Co. , 873 F.2d 1283, 1286 (9th Cir. 1989). As indicated, the CBA which governed Plaintiff's employment at UPS provides for a level of job security greater than that provided for by California law. As such, this claim is also preempted by Section 301.
Plaintiff's arguments to the contrary are unpersuasive. The CBA need not be directly mentioned in the complaint in order for any of it claims to be preempted by the LMRA. While Plaintiff suggests otherwise, the absence of reference to the CBA from the Complaint in this case, when two of its claims clearly assert the violation of a right created by that contract, merely illustrates the conscious attempt to artfully plead around it. See Fong v. Univ. of San Francisco, No. C-92-4127 EFL, 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 4677, at *3-4, 1993 WL 106893 (N.D. Cal. Apr 6, 1993) ("[T]he question here is not whether plaintiff referred to the collective bargaining agreement or the union in her complaint, but rather whether her complaint requires a review of the terms of the collective bargaining agreement."); see also Burnside , 491 F.3d at 1059 (holding that LMRA preemption cannot be avoided by artfully pleading breach of CBA claims as tortious breach of contract or other state-law claims). Artful pleading does not circumvent the effect of federal preemption, especially when the statute's preemptive effect "is so powerful as to displace entirely any state cause of action for violation of contracts between an employer and a labor organization." Constr. Laborers Vacation Trust , 463 U.S. at 23; ARCO Envtl. Remediation, L.L.C. v. Dep't of Health & Envtl. Quality , 213 F.3d 1108, 1114 (9th Cir. 2000) (under the artful pleading doctrine, "[a] state-created cause of action can be deemed to arise under federal law... where federal law completely preempts state law").
The argument that Plaintiff is asserting the breach of some employment contract independent of the CBA similarly fails. It is undisputed that Plaintiff's job position at UPS was one covered by the CBA. Accordingly, any independent agreement between Plaintiff and UPS, if one existed at all, is effective only as part of the CBA and is preempted by the LMRA. See Young , 830 F.2d at 997. Moreover, the fact that Plaintiff was not a union member at the time he commenced employment is of no moment since he was admittedly a union member at the time he was terminated and now seeks to enforce a provision of the CBA that provides for enhanced job security.
Finally, Plaintiff's reliance on Lingle v. Norge Division of Magic Chef, Inc. , 486 U.S. 399 (1988), for anything other than the general preemption standard is misplaced because that case is factually distinguishable. In Lingle, the Supreme Court could easily find the claim for retaliatory discharge was not preempted because the question of whether or not the plaintiff was wrongfully terminated for filing a workers' compensation claim could be answered by examining the conduct of the employee and the conduct and motivation of the employer, without reference to a CBA. 486 U.S. at 407. The same cannot be done here because Plaintiff's breach claims can only be resolved by reference to the CBA. The right to be free of termination without cause applies to Plaintiff solely by way of that agreement.
In sum, Defendants have met their burden to show a basis for federal jurisdiction. The Motion to Remand must therefore be denied. All the claims presently asserted by Plaintiff may remain in federal court, including those not discussed in this analysis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a).[2]
Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff's Motion to Remand is DENIED. The hearing scheduled for July 18, 2014, is VACATED.

9 p.m., Juanita's. $7.
St. Louis power-pop band Ludo makes a stop in Little Rock at Juanita's on Thursday night. Formed four years ago by singer-guitarist Andrew Volpe and guitarist Tim Ferrell, the band got its name from the giant Muppet in the movie "Labyrinth." Later expanding to a five-piece group with the addition of Tim Convy (keyboard), Marshall Fanciullo (bass) and Matt Palermo (drums), Ludo has toured extensively for the past two years, picking up a large fan base (made up of kids who call themselves "ninjas.") After winning contests to appear at SXSW, having a video produced by MTV-like Fuse, playing the Winter X Games and performing on the Warped Tour, the band recently recorded their second full-length album "You're Awful, I Love You," out now on Island Records. Known for their rambunctious — often themed — live shows, they're throwing a luau on Thursday night and welcome audience members to dress up in grass skirts and leis.
9 p.m., Revolution. $15.
Go to a concert to see your favorite radio rapper, and you're likely to leave disappointed. Most of today's MCs don't take the time to hone their stage show. They rap over — or more often than not, under — a vocal track, usually with at least a couple hype-men screaming along with them. If giving a quality performance is an old-school ethic, Guru comes fully equipped with bona fides. Half of the legendary Brooklyn duo Gangstarr, the MC helped create two of the seminal early '90s hip-hop albums, "Step in the Arena" and "Daily Operation." Over producer DJ Premier's jazz samples, the rapper usually delved into socially conscious territory with his lyrics, yet always managed to sound hard. The duo hung up the Gangstarr name in 1999, but both remain active, if not downright prolific, Premier as a big-time producer and Guru with Jazzmatazz, his series of collaborations with a star-studded collection of jazz and soul musicians. His latest, "Jazzmatazz Vol. 4," came out on Tuesday and features Common, Damian Marley and Bobby Valentino. You can bet he's been around long enough to know how to work a stage. At the other end of the spectrum, Blockade, the teen-aged rap collective, has only performed twice before, but as the first graduates of TJ Deeter's Hip-Hop school, they've been well-versed in the subtleties of stage presence. Another local collective, Goon Squad, also opens.
10 a.m., Reynolds Performance Arts Center, UCA, Conway. $5.

While seeking refuge with dwarf children, she soon realizes that escaping the vain queen is not so easy, and she must rely on help from her new friends. In the adult roles are Eric Harrison as the magic mirror, Daisy Owings as Snow White's mother, Brent Wood as the king and Karen Owings as the evil queen. Child actors include Jeni Fuller as Snow White, Ben Scheuter as the huntsman and Col Schott, Dylan Barber, Julius Cornett, Andrew Gillespie, Jacob Webb, Marshall Bellando and Abby Shourd as the dwarf children. A second showing is set for 2 p.m. Saturday.

The benefits of retail apps extend beyond the mobile realm, a new study finds.
New research suggests consumers who have a retailer's app on their smartphone really like that particular retailer. 45% of smartphone owners with a retailer-branded app on their mobile device visit the merchant's store more often than consumers without the app, according to new a new study by ABI Research.
The study, which polled 965 U.S. smartphone owners in December, also finds 40.4% of consumers buy more of the retailer's or brand's products if they have its app. 35.8% of app users tell a friend about their store shopping experience and 30.8% encourage friends to visit a store.
"These are overwhelmingly positive numbers," says Mark Beccue, senior analyst for ABI Research. "They are so compelling that if retailers do not have a smartphone app strategy in place right now they are in danger of being left behind by their competitors."
However, the research also shows consumers are picky about the apps they choose to take up precious real estate on their smartphones. Just 25% of the respondents had downloaded a retailer-branded app. What's more, retailers who do cross the hurdle and get their app installed on a consumer's smartphone are likely sharing space with competition. 37.9% of the respondents said downloading a retailer's app caused them to download other retailer-branded apps, ABI says.
"Clearly consumers are using retailer-branded apps as an engagement tool," Beccue says. "Once a retailer can capture a consumer with an app, there is a real opportunity to leverage smartphone apps to enhance customer service, deliver richer, more relevant product information in real time, shorten checkout lines, and more. We are at the dawn of a very dynamic and creative time for retail."

An Inside Approach: Organizing Integrated Learning Opportunities.
Camilleri, Christine; And Others
This guide is intended to help people improve their reading, writing, and numeracy skills within existing organizations, services, or community activities. It is divided into two sections. The first gives some background information on literacy in Canada, adult learners, and the rationale for integrating learning into existing opportunities. The second focuses on implementing the approaches. Planning and organizing learning initiatives, recruiting participants, developing options and opportunities for improving skills, training volunteers, and evaluating the effectiveness of an approach are addressed in the second section. In addition, some misconceptions about people with reading difficulties are addressed. Profiles of adult learners are included as well as approaches suitable for facilitating adult learning. An overview of the planning, organizing, and implementing process is provided. A range of options to take advantage of learning opportunities is discussed: peer learning, learning with computers, family involvement, and learning through oral stories. Steps in planning and implementing workshops for volunteers are outlined. A section on evaluating the progress of learning initiatives and individuals as well as 43 references complete the guide.

Ask for the 'Italian American' sub, and ask for it 'hot'. They put it in the pizza oven for a bit and the result is like no other I've found. Always the same, and worth crossing town to get.
When we moved to Morristown from NYC, one of our biggest fears was finding halfway edible Pizza. We were pleasantly surprised to find Suvio's REALLY good.
grabbed a quick dinner to go..Chicken parm. It's always hot and made to order...The pizza is tasty and is offered in many varieties. The Stromboli are also good and the Garlic Knots are AWESOME (filling too!)
I've had their pizza - average and a little greasy - and their chicken sandwiches. The chicken sandwiches are pretty good, just not something I'll go back for. It's near MHS, so the students love it.
The service was extremely good.
The restaurant is your typically local hole-in-the-wall type small pizza place. Not the nicest place I've been to; however, the pizza was very good, in terms of crust, sauce, and cheese.
A large cheese pie is reasonably priced. However, the pizzas with toppings are bit over-priced in my opinion.
Suvio's is located two blocks from where I live, but it took me months of walking past it to actually go there for dinner. Actually takeout. This is truly a local place - the owner knows many of the people who come in (obviously regulars), the high school girls' field hockey team comes there after practice, and it appears rather...
A Pizza place run by Italians. Now there's a concept you don't see every day! Reminds me of Queens, NY where I grew up. Suvio's dough and sauce, they got it nailed. Nothing beats a pie right out of the oven from Suvio's.
We stopped by at 9pm on a Friday night to pick up a pizza we ordered and ended up eating in the restaurant. This is a throwback to the old pizza places I remember from the 70's. Family seating, laminate tables and benches, attempts at Italian decorating that no one has paid much attention to and great pizza. The sauce...
Please keep this in perspective, this is a pizzeria that has pizzeria seating. That is what they do, and for what they do they nail it.
I have been eating Suvio Pizza since they opened or close to it. I have lived in N.J. metropolitan area and I have had pizza from all over none of them beat Suvio's.
I love the pizza so one night we decided to try the "real" food at Suvios, especially after i read all the glowing on-line reviews. We ordered the cavatelli w/ broccoli & the penne alla suvios. Now it was during the Christmas holidays (Sunday night after) so I am not sure if the regular crew was off (more on that...

Toyota Assembly Line Inspires Improvements at Hospital
Another example of the waste-filled health care system adopting TPS methods and approaches:
"In adopting the Toyota mind-set, Kaplan said, the 350-bed hospital has saved $6 million in planned capital investment, freed 13,000 square feet of space, cut inventory costs by $360,000, reduced staff walking by 34 miles a day, shortened bill-collection times, slashed infection rates, spun off a new business and, perhaps most important, improved patient satisfaction."
But, with some downside?
"Such a radical new management style did not come without strains. A few top executives have left, and many physicians have balked at what they consider threats to their autonomy. Sending teams to Japan and hiring consultants cost about $1.5 million. And as in car production, there are safety risks in too much streamlining."
I don't understand what they mean by safety risks…. I can't imagine a TPS approach or consultant encouraging anyone to focus on anything but safety first (employee and customer/patient safety). I hope this is just a case of the reporter not understanding.
This columnist, from Minnesota, takes a somewhat cynical view of adopting Toyota methods to hospitals. As "lean healthcare" becomes more common, we'll have to work to fight uninformed "people aren't like cars" perceptions that miss the point.

When we first visited I was extremely disappointed.
However on our return for an evening meal this time, I was extremely impressed.
So much so we visited for a third time.
Again the food was impeccable.
great food great hosts,friendly atmosphere,dont forget to try the dutch apple pie its the best made by jerrys wife
Welcoming staff, decent food and reasonable prices but found it a bit like eating in a school dining hall, felt a little like we were on a production line but to be fair it was a busy might.
Fantastic food drink atmosphere
Just couldn't fault this restaurant
And all staff spoke to you ate there 3 times as food at magnolia resort was bland. Recommend trying this restaurant
Missing this place. Ann is amazing. Had a variety of foods and all is top notch. Great food, great staff and a great soundtrack.
Lots of choice in traditional Greek cuisine as well as a wider menu.Anne and Rachel and Maaike, Jerry and their children were so welcoming and friendly.Food was superb and reasonably priced. We had a lovely holiday and Jerry's Elliniko was the "icing on the cake" for us
Visited twice, during visit, lovely home cooked traditional food. Very friendly service and good music.
We ate at this restaurant 3 times in our weeks stay in Katelios, the food was lovely and the owners and staff were very friendly. Everyone should try this restaurant, you won't regret it.
Lovely atmosphere friendly hosts and staff. Great variety of food and drinks. We ate here twice, once for dinner and again for baklava and coffee. Gerry put the television on so that my husband could watch the football and we had more drinks. Great night.
Try everything, everything! All great locally inspired food, beautifully cooked, oozing with flavour, juices, and taste sensations. Nothing too much trouble for the owners Maiike (who makes her own desserts mmmmmm) and Jerry and the lovely waitress from the west midlands. We loved the outside area, so pretty and atmospheric at night. Missing you already :(

You have got your own goal to get by the end throughout the day -- this product that you intend to purchase --- however you need to get it at just a sensible pace and also from a store or perhaps dealer with useful notoriety. This short article definitely will teach you how to search for the ideal company card printer over the Net. Read on as well as get a hold of out how to prevent settling for anything less.

The first thing you want to do is get a hold of the company card printer on line that offers the type of company card you will be aiming for.

Having a card published through a matte finish is also feel a lot cheaper than many of the other printer finishes there are really to select from, so far whenever utilized right, can enhance the overall finish.
Spot UV
Spot UV is undoubtedly among my favourite kinds of finish for business cards. Spot UV is when a gloss is added to a certain region of your design to highlight which part of the design and also to render it pop, giving it an improved texture to feel. It rests someplace between your gloss and silk finishes. Spot UV is an excellent effect that really improves your cards design. Spot UV can feel put into your own logo, the companies contact details so they jump out or maybe even as a design in the background. It is many effective when it is contrasted through a silk company card finish.
Feel creative and have fun. You might even experiment alongside a techniques labeled as reverse spot UV in which the environment of your card is glossed but the logo is not. The most serious thing to remember alongside spot UV is the fact that you will want to keep it straight-forward to ensure that your card design pops while still retaining its tasteful look. Be sure to work the finish into the general design of the card by being selective. A design with too much spot UV added will lose its effectiveness
If Business card printer is totally new just for you, I really believe your long lasting problem is fixed.

LWSD | News from the Schools February 4, 2010/
Seven LWSD Students Selected as Washington Aerospace Scholars Seven Lake Washington School District students have been accepted to participate in Phase One of Washington Aerospace Scholars for 2009-2010. These students include: Amit Burstein (Eastlake High School), Ethan Chan (Eastlake), Rasan Cherala (Eastlake High School), Felix Humay (Eastlake High School), Timothy Jugovic (Eastlake High School), Matthew Kennedy (Juanita High School), and Michael Przystupa (Juanita High School). These students are among 247 talented juniors from across the state who have been accepted into the first phase of Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS): distance learning with a NASA-designed curriculum covering the history of space exploration, the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, the Moon, and Mars. From January through May, the Scholars will complete ten lessons – submitting quizzes, math solutions, essays, and graphics concerning these topics every other week. Scholars will independently select a topic of interest for a final project combining an essay with a graphic. Scholars are also competing for a space in one of four summer residency sessions.
Phase Two of WAS is a six-day summer residency experience for 160 students. Selection is competitive and centers around performance in Phase One of WAS. In each residency session, 40 Scholars are selected to work cooperatively to plan a human mission to Mars with support from professional engineers/scientists, university students, and certificated educators. Each session also includes briefings from aerospace professionals, tours of engineering facilities, and hands-on engineering challenges involving model rocketry, robotics, landing devices and payload lofting.
Redmond High School Students Help People of Haiti
Anand and Ashwin Raghuraman of Redmond High School organized a fundraiser for the people of Haiti. They went around their neighborhood in Sammamish asking families and friends to donate for the cause. Everyone was very supportive of their cause and in two weeks, they collected a total of $1200. Last Friday, they went to the local chapter of Red Cross in Seattle and donated the money. The staff at the Red Cross was very happy that Redmond High School students were getting involved for these international efforts to help the people of Haiti.

Family Learning Center presents Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Set in the Pacific Northwest, while still using Shakespeare's text, this production is sure to delight everyone. Four young lovers flee the city to find freedom and happiness in the forest. There they discover a place of enchantment, inhabited by fairies whose mischief only further confuses their affairs. A group of rustics then stumbles onto the scene to rehearse a play, but their plans are interrupted when the impish fairy Puck transforms their friend Bottom into an ass. One of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, A Midsummer Night's Dream evokes a world of wonder, magic and romance, where chaos erupts, lovers are mismatched, and all is reconciled through midsummer night revelries and faith in the power of nature.

Five Redmond High School Students Candidates for U.S. Presidential Scholars Program

These students will now have to complete applications in order to move on to become Presidential Scholars.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964 by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students.
Lake Washington High School Artist Recognized for Creative Efforts
Elizabeth Schneider, a student at Lake Washington High School (LWHS) and an exceptionally talented artist who has recently been recognized for her creative efforts in two separate competitions.
Her design, "Consuming Music" has been selected as one of 30 finalists in the national 2009 Lucerne Art of Dairy Competition. Her life-sized cow will soon be corralled in room 207 so that you can all keep an eye on her creative process. Once the cow arrives at LWHS Elizabeth will have only two weeks to complete her design. This piece has a 1/30 chance of winning $20,000 for the LWHS art department, $5,000 for Elizabeth and $5,000 for her art teacher.
In addition, Elizabeth's acrylic painting "Bunny Fruit Snacks" (acrylic on paper) won third place of the 40 exhibited pieces from the tri-state area (Oregon, Idaho and Washington) in the High School Art Northwest 2010 competition at George Fox University.

ACE'S main focus is on the Dell Match Play and his tips are on a separate preview but he has one from the Puerto Rico Open.
He says: Although there isn't much form here I am having a small wager on Freddie Jacobson. Not a lot of form but has three top fives this year, is 20th in strokes gained:putting and T11 in scrambling.
Coco Beach is a wind-exposed and flat course which is made up of four nine-holers and there is water in play on 13 holes so accuracy is key.
With the world's top 64 playing in the Match Play the favourites here are Grahaam DeLaet, Scott Brown and Ian Poulter. The Englishman is keen to make a move up the world rankings after falling out of the top 64 and may go well.
Puerto Rico Open
0.5pts ew Freddie Jacobson
(Ladbrokes, 33-1)

Need help setting up an email. Check through our amazing guides
Domain Registration Validation - Email Verification Process
As an ICANN accredited registrar - we are now required to comply with new rules introduced in the ICANN Whois Accuracy Program (WAP). This is a new policy introduced by ICANN that will apply to all registered domain names and requires that we verify all the contact information supplied for any domain registration is correct. You can read about ICANN's new policy at the link below: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.htm#whois-accuracy Why am I being asked to validate my registration information? This requirement has been introduced by ICANN; the governing body for domain registrations and is something that we are now required to adhere to. For all new domain registrations this process will need to be completed within 15 days to avoid suspension of the domain name. This will also be required for existing registered domain names and the process will be triggered by applying any changes to the registered domain owner details, nameserver settings, transfer of a domain, or where a domain name has WHOIS data which is incomplete or appears to be inaccurate. You'll know if you need to verify your domain as you will see an orange icon next to your domain, in your LCN.com account: How do I validate my domain? We will send an email to the registered email address for any domains requiring validation. This email will contain a verification link that you will need to click in order to complete the process. If you have multiple domains registered to the same email contact - the process will only need to be completed once, the verification will apply for all domains registered to this contact email address. What if I have registered domains on behalf of other individuals or organisations? If you register domains on behalf of any other individuals or organisations and do not have access to the registered email address for the domains, it's important to make the registrant aware of the email validation requirements. If the process is not completed within 15 days the registration of the domain will be suspended and any associated website will go offline. What should I do if a domain is registered to an inactive or non-existent email address? If your domain requires validation and the email contact registered to the domain is invalid, or incorrect, you will need to update the ownership details for the domain to set an active email address. The following guide provides instructions on how to update the registered owner details for a domain: How to update the ownership details for your domain We will then re-send the validation email to the updated address. What happens if I don't validate my domain registration? If the domain validation process is not completed within 15 days from when the first verification email is sent, the domain registration will be suspended. This will mean that all services linked to the domain will stop functioning – websites would be taken offline and email would stop functioning. The nameservers for the domain would be reset to the LCN defaults and a 'Domain Suspended' holding page would be displayed. It could take up to 24 hours following unsuspension of the domain, before website/email services would start to function correctly again. I have already validated my email address – do I need to complete this process each time I register a new domain? Once you have validated your email address – this should apply to all domains and any future domains that you register to the same email contact address. There are some exceptions to this rule however; some domain extensions may require the validation of contact details to be completed individually for each domain that is registered. If this is a requirement, a notice will be added to the domains page within your LCN.com account - to notify you of any pending validation requirements.
How to update the ownership details for your domain
When registering a domain name, it's important to make sure that the registered owner details are up to date. If you move address or the owner of the domain name is changed for any reason, updating these details is recommended. You can update the ownership details for your domain through your LCN account. However, there is a charge if you want to change the registered owner (i.e. name or organisation) of a .EU domain name. Log in to your LCN.com account. Click the Domains icon and choose the domain you want to update. Click Update Owner Details in the Current Domain menu on the left. Edit the information you want to change and click the Update Domain Owner Details button (see below for restrictions) Allow up to 24 hours for these changes to update in the public WHOIS database Change of owner for a .EU domain EURid, the .EU registry, requires additional authorisation when a domain owner's name or organisation change. You'll need to complete this authorisation process after you have followed the steps above in your LCN Account. For more information on EURid's authorisation process, see the EURid domain transfers page. Note: It is your responsibility to make sure your domain's ownership details are accurate. If your address changes or you sell your domain, you'll need to make sure you update the owner details.
How to hide your details from the public WHOIS database - LCN.com
The WHOIS database shows who owns a domain, when it was registered and when it expires. It is a requirement for all domain names that this information be publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and other laws. The Public Access to Data on Registered Names specify our obligations as a registrar. .UK and .TEL domain names The .UK and .TEL domain registry provide a service called WHOIS opt-out which will hide the address details but is only available to non-trading individuals. By default, if a contact in the LCN system does not have the organisation field set then the contact will be set as an individual and opted out of the .UK and .TEL WHOIS. EU domain names WHOIS lookups for .EU domains do not return any registrant data, you are pointed to use the web-based WHOIS on the registry website. To get to the information you have to enter the text shown in a random capture code. If you have filled out the organisation field, the full registrant details will be displayed otherwise only the registrant email address is displayed. All other domain extensions There is no opt-out service provided by the registry, however you can buy our Domain Privacy Protector product. This stops your personal details from being displayed by replacing them with the details of our privacy service. Your details will remain on file as the legal domain owner and any enquiries for your domain will be forwarded on to you.
Domain ownership disputes
Domain names have become a valuable commodity that individuals and businesses want to protect. The right to use a domain name can be challenged by a third party for any number of reasons e.g. The domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights Complaint against someone who has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name The domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith Each domain name registry has a procedure in place to deal with these disputes. If a domain you own is challenged or you wish to dispute the use of a domain, you can find out more about the process at the relevant registry: .UK domains - http://www.nominet.uk/domains/resolving-uk-domain-disputes-and-complaints/ gTLDs (com, co, net, org, me, biz, info, mobi, tel) - http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/udrp.htm .EU - http://eu.adr.eu/ .UK.COM - https://www.centralnic.com/support/dispute

The One about The Agency
Today, Think Alike Productions LLC and I have entered into an agreement where I will write the novelization of their flagship comic, THE AGENCY. This indie series has been described by the Miami New Times as "A Harry Potter meets Mission Impossible style mash-up with killer art and a page-turning plot!"
I'm excited about this opportunity. My own Triangle novels are an action-adventure series with a sci-fi twist, so I believe I'm a good fit to jump into this sandbox and explore the world of the International Agency of Magic. Plus, while creating a novelization from a comic isn't new (DC did so with the Superman / Doomsday storyline in "The Death and Life of Superman" in 1993), as far as we can determine it hasn't been done with an indie comic. We're breaking new ground, which is always kind of fun.
The target for the first novel, based on Volume One of the series, is early 2017. I want to thank Ruben Romero at Think Alike Productions for this opportunity, and look forward to sharing with you progress and the occasional sneak peek.

The One About The Man In The Mirror
"You look just like him."
"I don't know; it seems strange."
"I'm telling you. The resemblance is uncanny. You really should go as him."
Somewhere in the dim, Swiss-cheese-like memory that I have, that sort of conversation occurred between a couple of different people in 2014 and me. I'll be honest; I didn't see the resemblance others did. But these friends insisted this could work. So I brought my skills as a performer to the role, studied the costume and watched a video of the subject. I was going to try something unique for me – a cosplaying a real, live human being.
Specifically, bestselling author George R. R. Martin, creator of the Song of Fire and Ice saga. Or as most television audiences know it, Game of Thrones.
Now, think about that for a second. Most people go to these conventions as characters from fantasy – comic books, novels, movies, television shows, video games, etc. But instead of portraying a character who was part of the content, I would portray someone who had created the content. It's a little outside the box.
But this could work because Martin is something of an eccentric. He dresses in a unique style, wears an iconic totem that is known to his fans, and maintains a distinct public persona. Approximate it very carefully and you can be convincing.
I tested the Martin cosplay at the final day of Anime Festival Orlando in 2014. The reaction was amazingly positive. At one point, I was able to set up a table to stage a mock signing – thus cosplaying an author doing a signing at a convention where there were authors doing signings. It was an incredibly meta moment.
Having tested it there. I was ready for the big time – Tampa Bay Comic Con 2014. The original plan was just one day as George. Just Friday. But…
- Upon arrival, I was mobbed by people wanting my picture.
- I attended a Q-and-A panel with Pedro Pascal, the actor who had portrayed Oberyn Martell in Season 4 of Game of Thrones. When I stood up to ask my question, he did a double-take. He thought I was George and had somehow come to see him in Tampa. The crowd reaction was fun.
- Convention staff asked me to return Saturday and enter the costume contest
- Repeatedly, I was told "the most amazing cosplay" or was mistaken for him.
As requested, I return on Saturday. I arrive in Tampa and park my car.
- Someone spots me in the garage and yells out "Oh my god; it's you! You're really here!"
- I am informed later a picture of me has trended to number one worldwide on Reddit.
- The local PBS station interviews me. They try to understand why cosplay a real live human being. I show how close we look alike and flash a wicked grin.
- I do a photo op with Richard Madden, the actor who portrayed Robb Stark. When I come around the corner into the studio area, he sees me, does a double-take and starts giggling.
- A large group of Game of Thrones cosplayers cajoles me into becoming part of their team – making it a meta-presentation (the author and his creations) into the cosplay contest. They do not win.
- A judge from the contest walks up to me in the lobby afterward and says, "That is so amazing. You look exactly like him."
- I go to the afterparty and WIN the costume contest there.
- Multiple bar patrons, in various states of inebriation, are utterly convinced I AM George R. R. Martin. Sadly, one of those patrons is an elderly gentleman wearing a red negligee and a thong. He is overly friendly with severe boundary issues. Still, my drinks were comped all night, and The Castle management has invited me to become a regular at the bar…(and the bar manager at the end of the evening let me know they were in on the joke).
Saturday had blended into Sunday and with a couple of hours sleep, I returned yet again as George to the floor.
- The people at the University of South Florida Information Services program – the Library Sciences folks – asked to have my picture taken in their booth sitting at their table. As soon as I sit down, people line up, asking me to sign things.
As George.
So I did (with an asterisk, of course).
- One woman tried to get me into a discussion about the literary differences between Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and William Goldman's "Lord of the Flies." I asked why. She explained it was for her daughter's AP English paper. I smiled. "So, trying to get crib notes from me?" We went over a few ideas. I hope I didn't steer her too far off, as it has admittedly been two decades since I've read Kesey and four since Goldman.
- One woman beat me with her shoe; she was so upset about a particular character's death.
- I did get a lot of hugs as well and even more smiles. People were euphoric to see me.
Well, most of them. Some of them did believe I was George R. R. Martin. And I wasn't about to dissuade them – they seemed so happy to see me.
I have done this cosplay at other events since. I did it at a small con at a library where the staff thought I was Martin and assigned a security guard to follow me around.
At the Sarasota Ren Fair in 2014, a photo of myself and a cosplayer as Robert Baratheon made io9's site with comments again about how I must be Martin's doppelganger.
Finally, at this year's Megacon, they forced me to register my pen as a weapon. (Think about it).
Now, two years later, George returns to this weekend to Tampa Comic-Con. And it should be fun – I'm going to a wedding. After all, everyone wants GRRM at their marriage.
But at the end of this, I wonder. Am I valued because people saw George R. R. Martin, or because people appreciated my ability to bring them that experience (sort of like an Elvis impersonator)? Who is the man in the mirror? D.G. or George?
Or am I just overthinking the whole thing?

The One About Radio Silence…
I apologize.
The blog went silent for a simple reason. I had to relocate to Sedona, AZ to take care of my mother, who was terminally ill with cancer. As you can infer from the verb tense, she did not make it. She passed away June 1.
Irma Cavaliere Speirs was a first-generation American, the youngest daughter of Angela and Joseph Cavaliere (or "Cavalieri" – we found documents in her safe afterward that indicate that is the correct spelling of the last name when her parents landed at Ellis Island). She was a twin – her surviving twin brother Russell is still in Queens, NY.
Devoutly Roman Catholic, Mom nonetheless navigated revolution after revolution – she went back to work, she became a single mom and supported three kids, she eventually became a business owner and survived the potential disaster of her ex-husband committing a felony that reflected on the firm. She was fiercely protective of her children in all circumstances.
On my desk sits a blown glass heart, blue and green, with a tiny silver halo in the center – her ashes, forever with me. My beliefs are that uniqueness that was Mom has continued on her journey, and sadly for me, will no longer look back to talk with me. I miss the Sunday afternoon phone calls. But if I can take a few of her lessons with me forward, I'll probably be okay.
One day at a time.
