Asus has a nice selection of official case accessories for their budget MeMO HD 7 tablet. There are three different cases and each one has a slightly different style and feel.
VersaSleeve 7
This case is nicely designed and enables many different angles for the range of positions that you likely will want your ME173 to be held at. This is definitely a more professional look than the other 2 cases that Asus makes for the MeMO Pad HD 7. It's made of soft-touch polyurethane and a microfiber interior.
The VersaSleeve 7 comes in the colors black, white, blue and pink. It's going to hold your tablet nicely in a landscape position as you can see below.
Persona Cover
The Persona Cover for the MeMO Pad HD 7 is quite simplistic and doesn't offer much in the way of functionality. It does provide protection, but it doesn't provide the ability to hold your ME173 in different viewing positions. This is basically a cover, with no other uses aside from protection. It does come in the following colors: black, yellow green, and pink. It's snug fitting, made of polymer, and won't add any extra bulk.
The most versatile case for the MeMO Pad HD 7 is the TransCover. It offers the same slim profile and grip that the Persona Cover offers, but the TransCover allows you to fold the case to hold your tablet in various positions. Isn't that what you really want in a case? It's constructed of a polyurethane exterior and a microfiber interior. It makes use of magnets in the case so that it more easily snaps into position. It comes in the colors black, gray, blue or pink.

To the Editor:
In 1985, the drama department of Delano High School put on the Broadway musical "Grease," and I played the role of Kenickie (the guy with the Grease Lightning car). Few productions are as much fun for high schoolers than playing rambunctious high schoolers.
At that time the Delano (Middle School) auditorium already was 10 years old. Since then, 28 years' worth of students have made the auditorium their home to express their musical and dramatic talents. The auditorium has been well used and is now well worn. The lights have dimmed. The sound has faded. The once-comfortable seats are tattered and rickety.
I want my children, and future generations of Delano students, to have the same educational opportunities and to experience the same joy of performance that I was privileged to have been a part.
DHS alumni and district residents may sponsor a new auditorium seat with their names inscribed on it or may make a donation to the restoration project in any amount. Contact Steve Heil, DHS principal at 763-972-3365, ext. 2220 or [email protected] for more details.
In the musical "Grease," there's a song "Be True to Your School." I will be true to my school and contribute to making the DHS auditorium a 21st-century performance facility. I call on you all to do the same. "Go grease lightning, you're burnin' up the quarter mile …" (You're singing it now, too, aren't you?)
Damon Kocina,
Delano High School Class of 1986

France probes money laundering linked to Ben Ali, Mubarak
Public prosecutors in Paris said Friday they are investigating suspected organised money-laundering linked to Tunisia's ousted president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak.
The Paris prosecutor's office said it had opened the probes on Tuesday.
The two leaders were forced out of power earlier this year following unprecedented street protests against their decades-old regimes and their excesses at a time of economic plight.
France has been working on identifying French assets belonging to Ben Ali ever since he fled Tunisia for Saudi Arabia in mid-January. Paris has already blocked the French bank accounts of the ex-leader and of his aides.
The former Egyptian leader's personal fortune is estimated between one million dollars and dozens of billions of dollars in cash and hard assets.
The non-governmental organisations Sherpa and Transparency International France earlier this month filed a request to open a preliminary investigation against Ben Ali and his entourage over their assets.

The hero big data needs? Data Civilizer helps scientists conquer the clutter
Big data is a big deal. With these huge data sets, analysts can gain unprecedented insight into the hidden patterns of fields like physics, healthcare, and finance. Collecting and analyzing this data has become a relatively easy part of the process. Aggregating and organizing it all has proven to be more difficult.
"An oft-cited statistic is that data scientists spend 80 percent of their time finding, preparing, integrating, and cleaning data sets," Dong Deng, a postdoctorate associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), told Digital Trends. "The remaining 20 percent is spent doing the desired analytic tasks." Deng suspects that 80 percent may even be a low-ball estimate, citing Mark Schreiber, a data officer from Merck, who claimed his data scientists spend 98 percent of their time on "grunt work."
To minimize this grunt work and help conquer the clutter of big data, Deng created a system called Data Civilizer along with a team of researchers form CSAIL, the Technical University of Berlin, Nanyang Technological University, the University of Waterloo, and the Qatar Computing Research Institute.

Dear Friends,
Are you grieving a loss? Are you looking for comfort and hope? You've come to the right place! Here you will find information on three books that document God's healing power through personal experiences, scriptures, and powerful quotes. Click on the appropriate tab to learn about each of the following:
Find comforting, enlightening Christ-centered insights regarding some of life's hardest dilemmas, with chapter titles such as: "Trusting God When Prayers Don't Seem Answered," "Trusting God When We Are Hurting," and "Trusting God When Children Stray." Come to recognize the awesome wonder of God's ability to turn all things to our good, to bring growth and a newness of life in the aftermath of tragedy. Learn to trust God no matter what!
After My Son's Suicide:
An LDS Mother Finds Comfort in Christ and Strength to Go On
According to Gary & Joy Lundberg, "This book is a road map to recovery to help those who have lost a loved one to suicide. The principles are clearly and sensitively written with an inviting personal touch. The process of Darla's shared journey from despair to joy can help anyone who has experienced the scars of a deep personal trauma to rebuild a meaningful life."
Finding Hope While Grieving Suicide: Opening Your Heart to the Healing Only God Can Give (New release)
While my first two books are aimed at an LDS audience, I have written this new book specifically to anyone who believes in God and the Bible. When I began the project, I questioned my ability to teach the same comforting concepts without LDS scriptures and quotes from modern prophets, etc., but was quickly reminded that truth has been revealed all down through the ages to whomever would open himself to it. I was able to document every powerful point from credible Christian authors and near-death experiences. I hope you'll share it with all who are grieving a suicide.
Invitation: Because of personal experience with overcoming tragedy I have gained a deep conviction that the cocoons of this life that seem to entrap us are temporary. Either here or hereafter we will soar as the butterflies we were meant to be.
The foundation of our faith is knowing "he doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of salvation" (2 Nephi 26:24). It is my prayer that my books will help you rejoice in and partake of the salvation God offers.
Love and blessings,

There is no sport that has had more movies made about it than boxing – and that's not including made-for-TV movies such as Tyson and Rocky Marciano. Maybe it's the passion that surrounds it, the sheet brutality of the sport, the money, the mobsters, the mystery… Whatever it is, it's brought amazing performances out of the acting profession since cinema first took over our lives way back when. But what makes the sport even more astounding – cinematically, at least – is that so many of the stories the films tell are true. Or, shall we say, are based on the truth. So now that The Fighter has hit the multiplexes, we thought we'd take a look back at boxing biopics gone by to see just how good they were, and how close they stayed to reality…
Director: Raoul Walsh
Star: Errol Flynn playing James 'Gentleman Jim' Corbett (1866-1933)
Awards:** **None, although it did earn an impressive $2 million at the box office
What's the story? Set in 1890s San Francisco, Flynn plays cocksure and charismatic bank teller James Corbett as he's drawn into the shady world of boxing – still illegal in many states and viewed as a harsh, brutal sport – before a judge, keen to improve the sport's image, chooses him as a potential poster boy for the more technically accomplished Marquess of Queensberry form of fisticuffs. He swiftly excels at the new version of the sport, helping to popularise it and picking up a handy nickname along the way. Then he takes on well-liked world champ John L. Sullivan (Ward Bond) and beats him fair and square. Plus, what with him being Errol Flynn, he's so damn attractive and beguiling that he also wins sophisticated dame Victoria's heart (as well as the championship belt).
Real boxing? Errol Flynn was proud of his role, and rightly so. This is one of his finest pictures, helped in no small measure by his dedication in preparing for the fighting scenes. Sure, he used junior welterweight champion 'Mushy' Callahan for some of the footwork footage, but the praise should all go to Errol. In fact, he was so dedicated that he suffered a minor heart attack halfway through the shoot, which delayed production for a time. The lesson? See your doctor before tackling any role that involves boxing.
How far from the truth? Though it's a rip-roaring, feel good '40s classic, it'll have any boxing history buffs climbing the walls. For one thing, 'Gentleman Jim' was self-effacing in reality, not larger-than-life and cocky as shown here; for two, Sullivan and Corbett had fought years before the famed championship fight. To make matters worse, Sullivan hated Corbett, selling the championship belt before Jim could get his hands on it – meaning the emotional meeting between the two after the fight in the film just ain't true.
Director:** Mark Robson
*Star: Humphrey Bogart as journalist-turned-boxing publicist Eddie Willis Awards*:** An Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography, Black-and-White
What's the story?** **Sure, it's not a biopic, but as The Harder They Fall is an only-slightly disguised account of the scandal that was Primo 'The Ambling Alp' Carnera's career, it just about counts. Probably.
Sportswriter Eddie Willis (Bogart in his last screen role) is a respected journalist who's out of a job after the newspaper he works for closes down. A boxing promoter hires him to publicise his new talent, a lumbering ape of a man called Toro Moreno (Mike Lane playing the Primo Carnera character) who has a featherduster punch and falls over like a broken stepladder at the slightest touch. Somehow, though, Toro keeps winning, and people are making a lot of money off this new 'contender' as he makes his name known. The reason why he's winning so often? All his competitors are being bribed to throw the fights – until heavyweight champ, Buddy Brannen, refuses to play ball, promising to beat nine bells out of Moreno as soon as he enters the ring. Willis now faces a choice: tell Moreno, or let him have it…
Real boxing?** **Well, no, but it does have one thing going for it: the actual heavyweight champion who beat Primo Carnera in real life, Max Baer, plays his equivalent, Buddy Brannen, in the movie version of the real story. But, as it turns out, we'll be hearing more about him later…
- How far from the truth?* A full ten rounds, but the parallels were still sufficient for the real Primo Carnera to sue the producers for libel for implying that he was involved with rigged fights. The fictional cover maintained by the makers was enough for the courts, however, and Primo's case was dismissed. Still, many historians believe that Carnera's career was based around managers fixing fights and that Primo remained unaware of it.
Director: Robert Wise
Star:** Paul Newman as Rocky Graziano (1919–1990)
*Awards:* **Two Oscars (Best Black-and-White Cinematography, Best Art Direction)
What's the story?** **Rocky Graziano had one hell of a childhood. A street hoodlum growing up in New York, he boasted a bad attitude and an underage rap sheet that would make the most forgiving mother weep. He wound up at reform school, then prison, then, via the draft, in khaki. He deserted (punching an officer in the process), changing his name (from Barbella to Graziano), before being tracked down by his army superiors and being dishonourably discharged. After all that, boxing and folk hero status – eventually – awaited him.
Then, alas, things get a little trickier for Rocky as his past catches up with him. Ex-cons threaten to reveal his shady history to the world, his New York boxing license is revoked, and his only shot at winning it all back is a title fight with champion Tony Zale far away in Chicago. Can he do it? You betcha, especially with the help of his wife Norma (Pier Angeli), a nice, shy, pretty girl and friend of his sister's; yes indeed, Norma is the direct inspiration for Rocky Balboa's Adrian. Also, while we're on trivia here, the role of Graziano was originally set for James Dean, but his fatal car crash happened months before production started – allowing Newman his last shot at the big time after the box office bomb that was The Silver Chalice.
- Real boxing?* It's directed by Robert Wise, who previously brought us another boxing classic in the form of The Set-Up (1949), so the boxing is top notch. Plus, Paul Newman – never a man afraid to get his hands dirty – really threw himself into the role, spending a lot of time with the real Graziano, as well as training at his New York gym. He also sparred with the real Tony Zale, who was going to play himself in the movie until he hit Paul Newman a little too hard. Boxers, eh?
How far from the truth? Well, it sticks close to Graziano's autobiography – written with journalist Rowland Barber – but dwells too long on his tough youth. Overall, though, it's an uncontroversial adaptation of the great fighter's life story.
Director: Martin Scorsese
Star: Robert De Niro as Jake LaMotta (1921–)
Awards: Two Oscars (Best Actor in a Leading Role for Robert De Niro; Best Film Editing for Thelma Schoonmaker), as well as nominations for just about everything else.
What's the story? Bookended by an overweight, frustrated Jake LaMotta practising a comedy routine in the changing room of a nightclub in1964, Raging Bull tells the tale of the one-time middleweight boxing champ from his first loss in 1941 (against Jimmy Reeves) to 1958, when he's finally been forgiven by his brother, Joey (Joe Pesci) and his wife, Vickie (Cathy Moriarty) has divorced him.
Over the course of the film, LaMotta is portrayed as an angry, aggressive, jealous man who despite his success in the ring manages to screw his life up royally. He alienates his brother and best friend Joey, constantly suspects his wife Vickie of adultery – accusing both his brother and mob members of sleeping with her – before starting a downward spiral that ends with his loss to long-time rival Sugar Ray Robinson in 1951.
Real boxing? We only ever see ten minutes of fighting, but Scorsese was meticulous in maintaining authenticity, going to Madison Square Garden as research and running six weeks over schedule to ensure perfect in-ring shots. He even used just one camera so it felt like the "third fighter". De Niro suffered too, enduring over a thousand rounds of training with the real La Motta, who believed De Niro really could have been a contender. Honesly. No joke.
How far from the truth?** **Not too far. The Joey character is an amalgamation of the man himself and one of Jake's friends Peter Savage (who co-wrote Jake's autobiography, which the film itself is based on). There were other, minor changes – the "On The Waterfront" speech was originally an excerpt from Richard III, but Scorsese thought it was too un-American – but if you thought the director went easy on his volatile lead character, you'd be wrong. Reportedly when LaMotta saw the film, it dawned on him how horrible he'd been, asking the real Vickie: "Was I really like that?" Her response? "You were worse."
Director: Ron Howard
Star: Russell Crowe as James J. Braddock (1905 –1974)
Awards:** **Three Oscar nominations for Editing, Make-Up and Actor In A Supporting Role (Paul Giamatti)
What's the story?** *You want rags-to-riches? We've got rags-to-riches… and then some. James J. Braddock (Crowe) is a one-time boxer who's quit the sport after breaking his hand. His wife, Mae (Renée Zellweger), is glad he's stopped, but knows they'll have far less money with James now forced to do manual labour instead. Then the Great Depression begins, and things look really* bad. Work dries up, and when his old manager asks him to step into the ring for a one-off bout against the world number two – essentially to get beaten to a pulp for money – he has to accept. Then, against all odds, he wallops him one in the third round and knocks him clean out.
Mae disapproves (strongly), but Braddock believes his hand is back in action, and starts a comeback – a comeback so successful he's soon offered the chance to fight world champion Max Baer (him again). Baer has a reputation as a fearsome, bloody fighter, which leaves Mae unable to watch the match, or even listen to it on the radio. Can James beat him? Well, put it this way: it all ends happily.
Real boxing? Pretty darn close. Professionals were hired to 'fight' Crowe and were told to land their blows as close as possible: so close, as it turned out, that Crowe suffered several concussions, a few cracked teeth, and even a dislocated shoulder, an injury that delayed shooting for two months.
How far from the truth? Naturally liberties are taken in any biopic: anecdotes are cherry-picked; difficult moments dodged; areas highlighted. But the portrayal of Max 'big baddo' Baer angered so many sports historians that it may have crossed the line. In the film he's a vicious thug, and is said to have killed two men in the ring (whereas in reality it was only, um, one). Plus, he was also known for his gentle nature, not for being a complete monster. Hmm.
Director:** Norman Jewison
*Star: Denzel Washington as Rubin "The Hurricane" Carter (1937–) Awards:* **Nominated for one Oscar (Best Actor in a Leading Role, Denzel Washington) and won a Golden Globe in the same category.
What's the story?** **The story of Rubin 'The Hurricane' Carter is not your typical boxing movie, Sure, there's the uplifting ending, initial success, trials (literally) and tribulations, but in reality it's a character piece based around Denzel's powerhouse performance of a man wrongly convicted for a triple murder – a conviction that kept him in jail for nearly 20 years, despite Bob Dylan writing a song about him:
"They're gonna put his ass in stir. They're gonna pin this triple muuuh-durgh / On him / He ain't no Gentleman Jim!"
The story that runs alongside it all is that of a young boy from Brooklyn, Lesra Martin (Vicellous Reon Shannon), trying his damndest to get his hero out of jail, eventually succeeding after asking his adoptive Canadian guardians to help out.
Real boxing? Not really: we don't see much boxing except for early on, and it isn't that good. But as this is an angry young man to philosophical mid-lifer emotional arc movie, the boxing, dare we say it, doesn't much matter. Still, Washington trained for a year with a boxing coach, so a big tip of the head protector to him for that.
How far from the truth? How much time have you got? This may well be a fine film, a movie with important points to make about racism, injustice and the establishment, but so much is glossed over or omitted that it barely withstands scrutiny. For example: Carter actually served four years in prison prior to the events shown (for three muggings); there was no speech from Carter in the courtroom when his conviction was overturned; he was only released when proof of poor police evidence-handling came to light, rather than proof of innocence; oh, and he had four years out of jail between the two convictions. He wasn't a military hero, either – he was dishonourably discharged. And another thing: Joey Giardello, the boxer he was shown fighting, sued for his poor depiction in the movie, forcing the director to make a statement on the DVD version that said: "Giardello no doubt was a great fighter."
Director:** Michael Mann
*Star:* Will Smith as Cassius Clay Jr. / Cassius X / Muhammad Ali (1942–)
*Awards:* **Two Oscar nominations for Best Actor In A Leading Role (Will Smith) and Best Actor In A Supporting Role (Jon Voight)
What's the story?** **Ali's amazing story has been covered before in documentary form, both in the highly excellent When We Were Kings and the slightly-less-good The Greatest, but Mann and Smith's Ali is the first feature-length biopic about the great man. And as this is Ali we're talking about, it has to cover a huge amount because of his truly extraordinary life.
There's his outspoken entrance onto the boxing scene, his astounding talent, his style, his manner, his way of speaking, fighting and living, his conversion to Islam, his friendship with Malcolm X, his fight for African-American rights, his refusal to fight in Vietnam (and his subsequent ban from boxing for four years), his legal fight to return to the sport, and his eventual comeback and rope-a-dope knockout of George Foreman at the Rumble in the Jungle. Ph-ew. Ali lived a very busy life back then, and it's a very driven Will Smith that attempts to fit in his very big boots.
*Real boxing?* Mann and the film's producers were exceptionally proud of the quality of boxing in Ali. For starters, Smith trained seven hours a day, and sparred with professional heavyweights. In fact, only Charles Shufford (the man who plays George Foreman) was told to hold back, but otherwise, Smith took it like a man.
*How far from the truth?* It does a pretty good job at staying faithful to what actually happened – and considering the amount of attention and analysis the Greatest has received over the years, it's no surprise. With Ali, though, there's just no need to make it up. That said, a white butterfly didn't really appear after Ali knocked out Foreman. Just in case you were wondering.

International researchers say by 2050, Gauteng will be nearly as dense as Bangladesh.
Bangladesh, located in South Asia, is among the most highly and densely populated countries in the world.
Jonathan Moyer of the Joseph Korbel School of International Studies was addressing a seminar in Pretoria.
Moyer says a lot depends on government's infrastructure planning .
"Infrastructure investments take a long time so you make an infrastructure investment that pays over 30-50 year horizon and if those investments are not made at sufficient levels based on projected levels of population then there can be significant long term implications in terms of inefficiencies with traffic, electricity access, water and sanitation. Secondarily you might not build
enough schools you might not build enough hospitals so all of these things have potentially significant implications."

All the visitors had to show for their efforts was a three-point lead from three Jones penalties against two from
The fly-half fed the supporting Sione Tuipulotu who put Morgan over for a converted try.
Jones clawed back another penalty, and on the stroke of half-time the Ospreys were just denied a try after a 70-yard break
and run from Terblanche.
The deadlock of a tense, error-strewn second-half was broken on 52 minutes when Tuipulotu took a quick tap penalty on the
Ospreys 22.
The visitors were caught napping, Tuipulotu able to send Morgan over for a simple second try.
The Ospreys brought on Spice at scrum-half and the Kiwi immediately had an impact, his break from a line-out winning a
penalty that Jones knocked over.
With Spice driving the Ospreys on, a sustained attack saw Richard Mustoe dent the Dragons line, Spice picking up to score
under the posts.
The conversion brought the Neath-Swansea side to within four points, but the Dragons fired straight back, replacement prop Thomas rampaging through for the decisive try.
Another substitute - Ospreys three-quarter Tiueti - was also having an impact, and his try after fine driving work from Elvis Seveali'i and Andy Newman gained the visitors a bonus point for their evening's work for finishing within seven points.
"It's been a long, frustrating couple of months for some of the boys in the squad, but we were out to prove a point tonight," said man-of-the-match Warlow, who has been kept out of the team by Wales' Ceri Sweeney.
"The Ospreys are a very good team, and it made for a fantastic game for everybody involved."
Ospreys coach Lyn Jones was an angry man after seeing his side fall to their third successive defeat.
"We were on top for large parts of the game, but for 20 minutes at the start of the second half we lost control," Jones told BBC Sport Wales.
"We won plenty of ball but didn't get field position - some people here are going to get a firm talking to."

Royal Bank of Canada will no longer use U.S. accounting rules to figure its financial results, opting to revert to Canadian accounting standards.
The bank, which is based in Toronto and is the largest in Canada, said the standards in both countries are growing more similar. Royal Bank started using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) six years ago to match the system used by most of its North American competitors. The bank has been producing both U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP financial statements, but decided to switch back to the Canadian system starting May 27, Bloomberg News reported.
âSince U.S. and Canadian GAAP have been converging in recent years and there are now significantly fewer differences between the two GAAPs, there is no longer the imperative for U.S. GAAP to be the primary reporting basis,â the bank said in a statement.
Instead of also providing a second complete set of statements under U.S. GAAP, the bank will now provide a reconciliation of material differences in its results under U.S. GAAP in its quarterly and annual statements, the Globe and Mail reported.
The largest remaining difference is in rules covering insurance accounting. Linda Mezan, vice president of external reporting and disclosure, gave the newspaper this example: In the first quarter of this year, the bank reported a profit of $1.04 billion under U.S. GAAP and $979 million under Canadian rules. About $55 million of the difference was attributed to accounting for the bank's insurance businesses.
She acknowledged that analysts have been annoyed by the bank's emphasis on U.S. GAAP. "It was like going out in English and having people come back and say, 'I'm only going to ask you questions in French.' "
In addition, the change back to Canadian rules will save money.
âHaving to maintain two sets of records and do all sorts of things to keep track of compliance with U.S. standards and Canadian standards is costly,â said Stephen Spector, a certified general accountant and visiting lecturer at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. âIf they can reduce the amount of effort that's required, they reduce their costs, and these costs aren't trivial.â

Team Values Direct and Bind High Performance Teams
It can be difficult for groups of individuals with various attitudes and ideas to come together into a team, with so many parts tied together. In fact, it is somewhat miraculous each time a cohesive team is formed and maintained. Even professional sports teams, which are very careful about having the right pieces on a team, and the right feel in the clubhouse, oftentimes break down in the heat of the battle; it is amazing how long it takes to build trust or build a team and how quickly it can fall apart. The famous collapses of the 2011 Boston Red Sox and 2012 New York Jets quickly come to mind for sports fans. So how do high-performance teams, with top performers, stay united? If anyone knew the exact answer, they'd make a lot of money, but there are time-honored ideas which guide team success. One of those is having a group value, a collective mentality.
Boise State "Blue Collar"
Boise State football, one of the nation's small-college Cinderellas, has been examined over and over to find out why they are able to run such a "tight ship." While many have tried to replicate their methods and level of success, few have been able to get team players to work as hard or perform as well in the classroom or on the field. As a program with fewer resources than giants around them, they found a niche in recruiting players that were high character, low ego, and optimally skilled. Then, they had training and leadership in place to build talent, whereas other schools got great prospects that wouldn't buy into the team or work as hard to improve which ultimately didn't get to the level that Boise State's players reached. After winning with this method, they would often sign a recruit--one that wasn't highly coveted instead of an often me-first superstar--saying that they liked his skills, but loved that he was one of "our guys." More importantly, once the process had achieved some success, it became a badge of honor to be one of Coach Peterson's blue-collar workhorses. They kept that going by using incentives like "the hammer" for the hardest worker on a little noticed part of the team.
Real Estate Values
It may be harder for real estate teams to establish a team value that really is more than just a motto that graces the pages of marketing material, as real estate agents can be very individualistic. High-performance teams recognize the value not only of a team, but of something that actually binds team members together. Team values can form an important role in giving team identity, a highly desired cohesive quality and reason for existing. On our team, our main values are teamwork, energy, and innovation. These aren't so much written as instilled in team members through interactions primarily with team leadership, but also with other team members, especially experienced ones. This helps in every aspect of team building, from choosing those who will excel in your team environment to even having to let go of team members who may be sucking the life out of the team or not performing. College coaches have to discipline or lift the vision of those who are breaking the good energy and that hard task needs to happen on high-performance real estate teams as well, though it can be done naturally. During a regular day, team values motivate team members once they've internalized the values -- for example, when its 3:00pm on a Friday and an agent starts to drag, if they remember the team is about keeping energy up and working hard and they see others keeping pace, they can push through and keep finding or taking care of clients. It may not be as glamorous as a sports player who keeps going in the 4th quarter, but high-performance real estate teams take better care of clients, while earning more in their business.
Be careful not to make team values seem corny or trite or they won't be meaningful. Though team leadership should initiate and have final say on what the team values, team members have to fit what is chosen and be fully "on board." Once a good system is going, it can be kept going with effort, though setting up a team climate will take possibly even greater effort and care.

Feb 20, 2012 - By Carolyn B. Tyler Staff WriterLander rancher Dave Raynolds and Central Wyoming College geology professor Suki Smaglik will combine forces to present the February program on "The Power of Place" at Tuesday's open meeting of the Fremont County Archaeological Society.
The Feb. 21 meeting begins at 7:15 p.m. in the Hudson Town Hall and is open to the public.
Smaglik will supplement the program with photographs she has taken of the boulders on top of Table Mountain.
An outdoor woman, Smaglik worked with the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, conducting field work in Wyoming, California and Alaska. She also taught at community colleges while in graduate school.
Her master's degree is from the Colorado School of Mines and her doctoral studies were conducted at the University of Hawaii.
For Tuesday's program, Raynolds will discuss how archaeologists should consider the location of sites they are investigating, questioning, "Why did humans interact in this area and not 'over there'?"
The free public program is sponsored by the Fremont County Archaeological Society, a chapter of the Wyoming Archaeological Society Inc., which is a non-profit educational organization.

Star seen with breathing aid: Val Kilmer Tracheostomy
Published: December 4, 2015
Star seen with breathing aid: Val Kilmer Tracheostomy, Movie star Val Kilmer was pictured with what appeared to be a breathing aid around his neck last week as he visited a grocery store in Malibu, California.
The 55-year-old actor was seen wearing the medical device – thought to be a tracheostomy tube – as he visited a local Trader Joe's grocery store, where he did some shopping.
The outing follows Val's denial in October that he is battling throat cancer after rumours of ill health, although he did admit an undisclosed procedure had left him with a 'swelling'.
According to the UK's National Health Service website, a tracheostomy is a surgical opening in the anterior wall of the trachea to facilitate ventilation – the opening is usually maintained by use of a tracheostomy tube.
The actor has been wearing a series of different coloured bandanas around his neck of late.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Val Kilmer for further comment.
Val, a father-of-two, cut a healthy looking figure as he headed out wearing casual clothing after taking to social media two months ago to deny reports that he is gravely ill in hospital.
The post came following reports on Radar that he was admitted to UCLA's intensive care unit and could 'barely speak'.
According to the UK's National Health Service website, a tracheostomy is a surgical opening in the wall of the trachea (windpipe) to facilitate ventilation.
The opening is usually maintained by use of a tracheostomy tube.
A tracheostomy may be created for a number of reasons – including to deliver oxygen to the lungs when a person is unable to breathe normally after an injury or accident.
Or it can be created because their muscles are very weak.
It can also allow a person to breathe if their throat is blocked – this can be caused by a swelling, a tumour, or something stuck in their throat and to reduce the risk of food or fluid going into the lungs.
He wrote on Facebook: 'Thank you all for your love and support. There's a rumor I'm unwell again and in hospital which is totally untrue.
'I was in to verify I have no tumor or infection of any kind which was verified by the very caring experts at UCLA.'
This was the third time this year that Kilmer – a Christian Scientist – has denied he is suffering from cancer.
However, his most statement does concede that he has been undergoing tests for a tumor – something he initially denied when he was admitted to hospital coughing up blood back in January.
Back in January, his rep released a statement saying he was undergoing tests for a 'possible tumor' – but Kilmer insisted it was merely for a 'complication'.
The statement in January from his rep Liz Rosenberg read: 'Film actor Val Kilmer is currently undergoing tests at a Los Angeles Hospital for a possible tumor.
'The 55-year-old Kilmer is being cared for by his two children, Mercedes, 23, and son Jack, who is 19, both L.A. residents.
'According to a family friend and spokesperson, the doctors are encouraged by his progress and are hopeful that Mr. Kilmer will make a full recovery.'

Calgary Flames assistant coach Martin Gelinas can speak from experience about life with a 48-game NHL season.
Well, sort of.
"I can barely remember yesterday," he said with a laugh.
Once the new collective bargaining agreement is completed and approval gained from the players and board of governors, it's expected the NHL will announce a 48-game season will begin Saturday, Jan. 19.
That would be just like the 1994-95 campaign Gelinas spent skating with the Vancouver Canucks.
"It's kind of a blur, but I remember the first few games, it was a jungle," Gelinas said Tuesday. "The guys, with the build-up, had months and months of waiting in them, and just wanted to play.
"Systematically, it wasn't perfect, but the guys wanted to play so hard, so it was a jungle out there. As we played more and more, it kind of settled down. But the first few games, you'll see the energy and want and desire from the players."
Back in 1995, there were plenty of fights in the first few games. It's hard to imagine we'll see much of that action when the NHL finally kicks off this time around, but you never know.
"I think everybody wanted to make a statement early in the season and we saw a lot of it," Gelinas said.
"Guys stayed in shape and skated, but it wasn't like they are now, where the nutrition, conditioning, everything has to be in line. The guys (in Calgary) skated hard with structure for three months and lifted. They kept working like it's a working day in the NHL.
"Back then, that wasn't the case. I think that's a reason they were fighting more. They couldn't get there like they could when in top shape."
Gelinas believes the Flames will have their best chance at ending the playoff drought by quickly grasping the system new head coach Bob Hartley wants to implement.
After all, early success with special teams play -- and shootouts, we'll add -- could make the difference between being in the Stanley Cup chase and being on the golf course when the regular season is done.
"Bob reads the game well, reads the players well, and he'll see who's been working and who's been not working," Gelinas said. "Whoever's been working will probably get more opportunities."
Unlike other teams, such as the Edmonton Oilers, the Flames have only had a few guys playing with any regularity.
In fact, only Mikael Backlund and Anton Babchuk were regularly in game action during the lockout. A few others -- Jiri Hudler, Roman Cervenka and Chris Butler -- had short stints, but other than the handful of players who have been in the minors, most have been working out at the WinSport Ice Complex.
"What the group did at WinSport, from our understanding, was they were getting pushed and practising with structure, so that's a big plus for us," Gelinas said of the crew which skated under the eyes of University of Calgary coaches.
Curiously, all the talk of needing a quick start to the season isn't indicative of what happened for all the successful teams back in January 1995.
The New Jersey Devils won the Stanely Cup despite struggling out of the gates with a 3-5-2 record in the first 10 games.
The Flames won the Pacific Division title despite posting a 7-6-3 mark in the first 16 games.
Gelinas and the Canucks, who reached the second round of the playoffs, had a 2-5-5 mark in the first dozen outings.
Granted, that was before three-point games we have today.
Starting with a 10-game winning streak would sure make teams breath easier, but as much as everybody talks about how struggling out of the gates will be fatal, it's not impossible.
"This is what's exciting about a 48-game season, not that you want to start slowly, but if you can get hot the last couple of months and have enough juice, your timing would be perfect for the playoffs," Gelinas said. "It'll be unpredictable."
At least a season is finally about to happen. Imagine what it was like to be a coach the past few months, preparing for a season but not knowing when it'll kick off.
"We're ready to put it on the ice," Gelinas said. "The first while was fine, especially for me because I had to learn about the guys. The last while was tough.
"But now we're jacked up."

Ugly Gun Sunday
At one time this poor pistol was a proud bearer of Sam's pony. Now it's a disgrace. The hardchrome isn't so bad......But the squared off and hooked triggerguard, compensator, extended slide stop, and holes in the dust cover make it an almost unrecoverable mess. This pistol was likely a IPSC race gun, now, due to the IPSC arms race, it's obsolete. The fellow snapping the photograph for a gun auction site should have raced for the vaccuum cleaner though!

Bryan Singer Posts New Storm Pic
Halle Berry's got a fresh 'do
Given the number of pictures Bryan Singer has been posting on Twitter since he took over directing X-Men: Days Of Future Past, we're beginning to worry that half the running time will just be shots of him looking up from his phone and grinning sheepishly as wa-waa music plays. Still, his behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie has certainly been entertaining, and he's just posted a picture of Halle Berry as Storm.
Storm watch #HalleBerry #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast twitter.com/BryanSinger/st…
— Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) April 22, 2013
While we've known for a while that Ororo Munroe would be back for the new X-Men adventure, no one had had a look at her in costume until now. It seems she's gone for more of a spiky 'do in this one, and her costume looks more Steampunk than the sleeker leather numbers of yore. It's not quite as punk as Storm goes at one point in the comics - there's no mohawk here - but it's still a seriously tough ensemble for the weather witch.
Given Berry's pregnancy, she won't be able to do quite as much action as she'd hoped in the film, but Storm's still likely to be a key player in the story, which finds the present-day X-team dealing with a dark vision of the world where mutants are kept in concentration camps and Sentinels patrol the streets. Their '70s-era equivalents have to fight to stop that dark future from coming to pass.
With Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Shawn Ashmore, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy and Daniel Cudmore aboard, Days Of Future Past is shooting now (assuming someone can get Bryan to put the phone down) and will be out on July 17 next year.

Bye weeks don't have to be sad slogs through the random detritus of whatever the college football gods decide to present to us. Sometimes, a second sport emerges.
A sport that brings up even more insanity ("madness" if you will) on a regular basis than even football. A sport with heroes and villains and sometimes even The Villain. A sport where goofy weirdos are the rule rather than the exception.
Ahh, Basketball. You're back, and we're so happy. This week on the Dubcast, Michael and I talk to our very own resident b-ball expert Chris Lauderback about the hopes and dreams of this Ohio State team. Will Q step up and be the BMOC we all want him to be? Will Aaron Craft finally die for our sins and ascend into the NBA? Will we all buy goofy hair wigs for Della Valle Day?
All this and Ask Us Anything (which you can do by sending us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com) plus a little Purdue talk. Enjoy!
Here's how everything went down:
0:25- Michael and I talk some Ohio State football and then get into who is going to step up on the 2013 basketball team, and some of the larger challenges they'll face as Big Ten season starts.
19:00- Chris joins us to break down the Ohio State roster, the Big Ten at large, and college basketball on the national level to give us some of the critical insight which I'm pretty sure he picked up during the Walsh exhibition.
33:56- Ask Us Anything! Weird Al party at my place.
49:38- They don't call him "King Charles" because he's some dumbass royalty guy.
And that'll do it! Music for the Dubcast this week was a QCD remix from Space Jam, Into the Open by the Heartless Bastards, and Go Baby by Lupe Fiasco. Have a good day everybody!

Matt says his ex-wife, Mindy, is a liar and manipulator who alienated him from their children and continues to cause problems for him and his new wife, Heidi. He says in 2008, when he told Mindy he wanted a divorce, their argument spiraled out of control, and he barricaded himself inside their house for four hours, surrounded by a SWAT team -- leading to his arrest and 490-day incarceration. Matt blames Mindy for escalating the incident that day and says she has been using their kids as pawns ever since -- even keeping him at a distance while their 8-year-old daughter was dying of cancer. Mindy denies Matt's accusations and insists that their kids are afraid to visit him because of the abuse she claims they suffered growing up. Matt admits he spanked the kids with a belt to discipline them -- does he think he crossed a line? Plus, hear from Matt's new wife, Heidi, who admits that Matt can be condescending and controlling and has issues with his temper. She says they fight often, mainly over the drama with Mindy, whom she calls a "master manipulator." Dr. Phil sorts through the chaos to help this fractured family get on the path to healing. What does he think is at the root of Matt's anger? And, can Matt and Mindy learn to co-parent peacefully for the sake of their kids? This program contains strong language. Viewer discretion advised. (OAD: 1-13-14)

Even the most incompetent shooter would have killed the dog quicker than he did. 15 times!! One can only conclude that he shot the dog 15 times ON PURPOSE. Anyone with a flicker of compassion would have hesitated after the first shot failed to do the job. But he just carried on - 14 more times! Until she was literally in pieces! The dog's terror and pain can only be imagined. The man is a complete SADIST!! To make his son watch as he slaughtered a beloved pet takes cruelty to a whole new level. Don't know how you fix this in a person. It's beyond evil. What kind of woman would even want him as a partner?

Someone should help the exwife keep this man at a great distance from her and her children. He screamed at her that she stole the time from him with his children. He actually believes that he deserves the time. Someone needs to protect the women in his life from his manipulation. I don't understand how Dr. Phill didn't come down on him stronger. The man deserves to be locked up. Very upsetting. I felt sick and shaken all day after watching this.

I'm not a dog fan but I do love animals as a long time vegetarian and my heart is broken to hear about what happened to Crystal. Does anyone know of a virtual memorial for her I can pay my respects to?
I agree with the majority of posters asking why he is not in prison for animal and child abuse. The fact that he is not makes me wonder what the point of exposing him on TV was. Someone mentioned he had been incarcerated but for what they weren't clear and if it was before or after the dog killing idk.

Watching this show made me sick. I lived through a childhood similar to what those kids went through. My father got away with everything he did back then and I am still bothered by the things he did. There has been no asking for forgiveness from from him, and no contact since 1997 and I wish to have none. I, too, am haunted by his treatment of my father, my brother, and myself. My heart goes out to those kids. That man's arrogance and the look on his face throughout the whole show made me want to hit him. Or worse. He is sick and demented for what he did to the family pet. My father did similar things to animals as well. I support his ex keeping the kids away from him...I would do the same thing. And the present wife needed to keep her big mouth shut. She will be the next one he goes after if he doesn't get help. He should have been put in jail for what he did to that dog. I will never forgive or forget what my father did to us and I'm sure those kids wont either.

I am really upset after watching this show. How dare you not help the ex-wife protect her children - she did everything in her power to help her kids. I certainly hope that NONE of the kids have to go with this father until (and if) he gets help. His cocky attitude, that he displayed, obviously shows he has NO REMORSE until you brought it to his attention. In addition what an IDIOT the new wife is - can't she see that she is being abused just like his first family. THAT MAN BELONGS IN JAIL AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE ACCESS to kids.

I was shocked at the behavior of this father. Killing the family dog and having his son bury the dog? Being the reason for the SWAT Team to be called to this family's house for having his family on lock down? Having his daugheer lick around the bathroom toilet to prove that she cleaned it? I could not believe any of it or that Dr. Phil told this man he did not think he was psychotic or mentally ill. Not mentally ill just because he can now say his actions were "deplorable" years after the fact? Little too late. I thought the man was psychotic, mentally ill, a threat to his family and beyond help. He actually said it was too late for his children. That's because it's too late for them to have him as a father in my opinion.

Centennial celebration of Tsinghua University turns arena of politics, meets criticism from and controversy over its alumni
April 28, 2011Jing Gao3 CommentsCCTV, Communist Party, Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping, Education, Great People's Hall, Higher education, Hu Jintao, Jackie Chan, Liu Shaoqi, Mao, MIT, Politics, premier, Red Guards, Tsinghua University, Wang Guangmei, Xi Jinping, Xinwen Lianbo, Zhu Rongji
Last Sunday, Tsinghua University, one of China's most prestigious institution for higher education, celebrated its 100th birthday.
Tsinghua University is famous even around the global as a factory for engineers and scientists, many of whom head directly towards the United States after graduation. Often called "the MIT of China," Tsinghua ranked the first on the list of sources of bachelor's-degree holders who earned natural-science or engineering Ph.D.'s at American institutions in 2006, even ahead of Cornell University and University of California at Berkley.
However, Tsinghua is more notable as a cradle for politicians in a technocracy that depends on engineers to build the infrastructure. 250 of its alumni are or were heads of Chinese universities. 480 are or were officials at or above the provincial/ministerial level. Chinese president Hu Jintao and the heir apparent Xi Jinping also graduated from Tsinghua.
Priding itself on the large and elite pool of students, Tsinghua took the grand celebration to another level. The campus was decorated with flying colors. On the outside walls of each and every school building hangs banners that read "Welcome to the alma mater, alumni!" A massive stage was built on campus for an evening song-and-dance. Nobel laureate in physics Chen-ning Franklin Yang and Jackie Chan, among other celebrities, were invited to the gala and held the stage.
A joke said that Tsinghua's centennial celebration has too many alumni to accommodate that it is suggested those who are lower than the bureau level in the political realm, who owns less than ten million as an entrepreneur, and who hold no professorship as faculty not return to the university and instead make do with a meal in any little parlor outside Tsinghua's western gate for the reunion.
A convention marking the centennial anniversary of Tsinghua University was held in Beijing's Great People's Hall. A star-studded line-up of politicians, academics, presidents of world-class universities and business tycoons – including six of the nine members of the Politburo Standing Committee – joined over 8,000 people in the meeting. The way the hall was fixed up looked almost identical to that of the annual "two meetings." The banner hanging from the second floor of the auditorium reads, "Thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development, accelerate construction of a world-class university, strive to train socialist builders and successors who have all-round attainments in moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic education." Netizens were flabbergasted, "This is not a celebration of a university. This is a Party Central meeting."
Among those who showed up for the celebration was Kuai Dafu (蒯大富), a high-profile rebel leader during the Cultural Revolution. A industrial chemistry major enrolled in 1967, Kuai Dafu led multiple Red Guards revolutions. Some people say that in Tsinghua's 100 years of history, two years belong to Kuai Dafu.
During his study at Tsinghua, Kuai Dafu denounced several communist leaders at public meetings, including Liu Shaoqi, then head of state and Mao's biggest rival within the party, Deng Xiaoping, China's paramount leader after Mao's death and economic reformer, and Bo Yibo, father of the political wonder boy Bo Xilai. In order to inveigle Wang Guangmei, wife of Liu Shaoqi,out of their domicile, he telephoned Wang, claiming that her daughter had been hit in an accident and was in hospital. Soon after Wang arrived, his Red Guards detained her and forced her to do self-criticism in front of a huge crowd.
From April to July 1968, Kuai Dafu called on his Red Guards to fight another Red Guards group at Qinghua University, seeking control of the university, which was later called the hundred-day battle at the Tsinghua University. 13 were killed in the conflict, more than 400 were injured, including over 30 were permanently crippled.
The legendary Kuai Dafu was sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment after the end of Cultural Revolution. However, Tsinghua students surrounded him on seeing him at the celebration and asked for his autograph.
Zhu Rongji, former Chinese premier, also went back to Tsinghua for the event. As a Chinese politician, he enjoyed a great reputation for pragmatism and relentless effort to fight corruption and push economic reform. He had been maintaining a very low profile since he left the office in 2003. However, at the meeting with students last Friday, the Tsinghua alumnus made jaw-dropping remarks.
Zhu Rongji said CCTV's commentary that China will lead the world in auto-making is bullshit. "Every evening from 7 to 7:30, I must watch Xinwen Lianbo (CCTV primetime news) to see what their bullshit is," he said. China Central Television is admittedly a mouthpiece of the Communist Party.
Then he harshly criticized Chinese higher education system, saying that the policy of aimless expansion of college enrollment is a mistake, and that the the State Medium and Long Term Program on Education Reform and Development devised by the government is full of empty talk.
At the meeting, he showed one yellow-covered book to the students and strongly recommended it. "The book is praised by many dissidents abroad," he said. He said the purpose of giving away this book as a gift for Tsinghua students is to encourage them to have critical thinking and judge the book by facts. Will the Boat Sink the Water, subtitled The Life of China's Peasants, is banned in China since its publication in 2006 for its unflattering and hard-hitting exposure of corruption in politics and life of downtrodden Chinese peasants.
The celebration turned into a free-for-all where the powerful put on a show, the retired voiced discontent with the present and the forgotten staged an unapologetic comeback. Students basked in festivities and stardom. One young iconoclast, however, dares to stand up against her alma mater and her classmates.
Jiang Fangzhou, a writer with published works and a junior student at Tsinghua's journalism school, wrote an open letter, in which she challenged her politically correct contemporaries' ossified stance and vested interest in the system. Ministry of Tofu has translated excerpts of her letter.
In freshman and sophomore years, I liked to grab people and talk about politics. Of course, often times it was I who kept relating the fragments and pieces of horrible information I read online or heard from banquets. My classmates always restlessly looked around as if they were hoping people would extricate them from the trouble. In the worst cases, they would force a smile and say, 'That's China.'
I was curious then. One's 20s should be the age of susceptibility to politics. Purely anatomically speaking, one should be at least a little stimulated and thrilled. But they were so nonchalant or daunted. What then often jumped out of my mouth was, "What are you afraid of?"
Now I have found that they are not nonchalant. It's not that they don't care. It's just that they defend their government of their own accord as if it were legacy that they are about to inherit.
I once witnessed how student cadres do things, and I dealt with those who have, by educational and worldly standards, achieved success at a young age. They accept all values imparted by the university without qualification, boast of being the mainstream. They will be unshaken or undoubting for a hundred years. They make use of their diplomacy and rules much better than their predecessors. Those who succeed become rulers. Those who fail become ostracized.
Sometimes, when I see them talk about "mainstream values" in class or at a meeting non-stop, I say to myself, "It is terrible that they really believe in these." Then after a while, I felt a chill, "They actually don't believe in these, which is even more terrible."
Naivety and maturity, fatuity and sobriety, purity and complexity, ignorance and pretense of innocence with knowledge, I cannot tell which type they are or which type is more fearful.
However, they are right there, no matter you can or cannot tell. My classmates, my elite classmates, will surely be the pillar of the society, the major component of the academia or the bureaucracy, and wield great power of granting life or death.
Liu Daoyu, former president of Wuhan University, said, "The entire celebration did not stray from its traditional model – making a big fanfare, inviting dignitaries to the show, and pulling out all the stops to sing praises and showcase strengths." Gong Xiaoyue, Former editor-in-chief at Xiaoxiang Morning Post even said that the centennial celebration is "a feast of power, a carnival of sycophants and a convention on how to succeed."

Jerusalem (May. 12)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The Palestine Hebrew press publishes lively comments on the controversy within the ranks of American Zionists.
The view is predominantly in disagreement with the opposition's aims and methods, particular emphasis being laid on the danger that might result to the United Palestine Appeal collections from the oppositional fight.
The "Doar Ha'yom," Jerusalem daily, observes that "whether Lipsky or the opposition are right, the upbuilding of Palestine will suffer through the controversy."
The "Davar," Tel Aviv labor daily, expresses the opinion that the labor elements within the Zionist movement should help the Lipsky-Weizmann party. The labor organ argues that if the American Zionist opposition is successful, it will aim "to destroy the national social basis of the Zionist work."
The Ha'Aretz, Tel Aviv daily, urges a coalition of all Zionist forces without regard to differences of opinion.
The cooperation of the Milwaukee Public Library was given during Jewish book week. A Jewish book display was held in the literature room.
Specimens of the work of the Jewish Volks Schule, of Milwaukee, were exhibited. Dr. Felix M. Mendelsohn delivered an address in connection with Jewish book week in the lecture room of the library.
The Jewish Welfare Fund drive in Indianapolis exceeded the original quota by more than 10 percent., it was disclosed at a final report luncheon of workers. Pledges and gifts totaled $67,709.50. The goal had been $60,568,39.
Edward A. Kahn was chairman of the drive.

Keep building momentum for the Gill Tract!
Thank you for signing the petition for a Food Initiative on the Gill Tract Farm!
In our first week, we have received over 600 signatures urging the UC to halt the current development plan for the Gill Tract Farm and enter into a collaborative design process with students and community for the entire Gill Tract Farm, but WE NEED YOUR HELP to keep spreading this petition, and building up to 1000 signatures before our meeting with Vice Chancellor LaLanne next Wednesday, May 7th to show the growing support for this initiative. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/a-food-initiative-on
The Community Farm Day at the Gill Tract this past Saturday was an overwhelming success with hundreds of students, community members, and families all coming together to plant, play, eat, learn and build community. Plants are growing, and roots are digging into this new ground. The beautiful success of the project in Area A highlights the enormous potential of a Food Initiative on ALL 20 ACRES.
We have some major momentum, but the campaign is far from over. We do not yet have a guaranteed commitment that the UC will halt the development, and we have yet to hear from Chancellor Dirks, the UC Regents, or President Napolitano.
Please help us spread the word, to get up to 1000 signatures by next Wednesday!
How you can help:
Use this sample email to let your friends and family know: http://sealstudents.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/sample-email-outreach.pdf

City attorney's decision costs San Bernardino
Let me get this straight. New City Attorney Gary Saenz said, "I am not going to change anything until I get accustomed to the new job." He then immediately fired all the city attorney's investigators and supervisors.
Keep in mind those investigators were put in that job through the former city manager, Fred Wilson.
Now why does the city cut off the head of the organization that brings in tens of thousands of dollars per month and which also helps to clean up the blight? Those investigators were one of the few entities bringing in money to the city, and the new city attorney fired them.
See anything wrong with this, people? We are told there is no money in this city, yet Saenz fired the ones bringing in money that helps keep this city going.
If the wrong person gets in the Mayor's Office, Mr. Davis, come this next election, you can certainly expect to see this city dissolve into dust.

Pearl Harbor remembrance given short shrift
Mandela's greatness notwithstanding, the news media and President Obama's obsession with his life and a lack of Pearl Harbor media coverage in favor of Mandela is unconscionable.
President Obama's issuing his annual Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Proclamation and laying a wreath is not enough. Indeed, the terminal lack of patriotism by President Obama and the media is simply shameful.

Spare Wildwood Park from developers
I have come up with a creative plan for saving Wildwood Park and teaching our children and our homeless population and the rest of our community, as well.
What do you say to a community garden on a half-acre or so at Wildwood? We could perhaps get Home Depot to donate toward the building of it and it could also involve the homeless and the children in school. We could grow everything from bananas to garlic and herbs. We can grow giant pumpkins and the kids could learn how the earth works and how the trees and plants make a difference.
I think would be a great project with the community's involvement. It would give the neighborhood folks somewhere to meet and get to know one another without being afraid of being robbed or assaulted.
We can involve the schools and teach children how to survive if there were a catastrophic earthquake. Survival techniques need to start at a young age and living off the land with a community garden is a wonderful start for being self-sufficient.
Folks will have a safe reason to leave their homes and stay healthy. And although this is just an idea to save Wildwood, it could be a great start to saving our parkland from developers.
Save Wildwood!
— Teresa Vernon, Cedarpines Park
Restroom bill an unjust, preposterous law
Good thing I am not still attending school and facing this ugly and preposterous bathroom law, AB 1266.
I would be demanding if students are forced to obey this law, then teachers and state representatives should be compelled to do the same. What is fair for one, should be fair for all.
My freedom and privacy are extremely important. I served in the military to protect these situations. If I must go to war again, I will march straight toward Sacramento.
Martin Luther said, "Man has a moral responsibility to object to and even disobey unjust laws."

|Spell Resistance:
This spell creates a floating, mobile ball of light that provides bright illumination within 20 feet and shadowy illumination within 40 feet. The orb occupies a 5-foot square but is insubstantial and does not affect a creature whose square it occupies in any way (other than providing illumination). The orb can be moved up to 30 feet by the caster as a free action once per round. Alternatively, the orb can be commanded to follow the caster or another willing creature; while following a target, the orb will move up to 30 feet per round, attempting to remain in an adjacent square. If the distance between the orb and the caster ever exceeds the spell's range, orb of light automatically ends.
A light spell counters and dispels a darkness spell of an equal or lower level.
