Pacific Power funds regional EV charging station grants
Pacific Power has funded 10 grants to develop electric vehicle charging station projects in Oregon. Each project will receive up to 100% of eligible costs. The program is designed to help non-profits, local governments, and businesses create more options to charge electric vehicles.
"This program is just one of the ways Pacific Power is helping to build out the necessary infrastructure to ensure electric vehicle drivers have plenty of options to power their daily commutes and summer road trips," said Cory Scott, director of customer solutions. "As more people take to the road in electric vehicles, they will need more ways to charge their car."
The first 10 charging station grant recipients included:
• Southern Oregon Labor Temple Association – Central Point, Ore. (public charging / 2 ports)
• East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District – Portland, Ore. (workplace charging / 2 ports)
• Craft Brew Alliance – Portland, Ore. (public charging / 2 ports)
• Central Oregon Community College – Redmond & Madras, Ore. (public charging / 8 ports)
• Wyndham Worldmark, Resort at Seaside – Seaside, Ore. – (public charging / 4 ports)
• Independence Landing I, LLC (Tokola) – Independence, Ore. (public charging / 4 ports)
• Wooldridge Creek Winery, LLC – Grants Pass, Ore. (public charging / 2 ports)
• Brio Portland, Inc. – Portland, Ore. (multi-unit housing / 2 ports)
• Neil Kelly Co., Inc. – Portland, Ore. (workplace charging / 5 ports)
• Tolovana Inn – Tolovana Park, Ore. (public charging / 4 ports)
Pacific Power also announced a new technical assistance program. The free program provides advice to non-residential customers interested in installing charging equipment. Available benefits include a site visit, analysis of electric vehicle technology options, costs, rates, and best practices for siting, configuring, installing and managing EV charging equipment.
"The electric vehicle technical assistance program is a first step for businesses, local governments and non-profits interested in installing charging equipment but do not know where to start," said Scott. "Once the analysis is complete and they receive the report, the business could apply for a charging station grant to help pay for the costs."
The next period for grant applications opened on April 15, 2019. Funding awards may cover up to 100 percent of the project cost. All non-residential Pacific Power customers in California, Oregon, and Washington are eligible to apply with preference given to community-focused organizations, such as 501(c)(3) and city, county, and regional governments.
Pacific Power will accept applications through May 15, 2019 at 5:00 p.m.. Recipients will be announced in June, 2019.

During a discussion on Facebook, Mike Smith shared his opinion about Barack Obama, "Ok, he doesn't care about black people. He cares about the fame they bring that'll rub off on him. This endears him to blacks who worship them."
Hi, Mike. Frankly, I believe Barack does care about black Americans. Sadly, imo, he is pussified, allowing America's illogical thinking, hateful, slow-to-evolve "Pro-Black Community", as well as his illogical thinking "GIRL POWER" wife to walk all over him.
During his terms in office Barack has spoken out about our Nation's expanding population of FATHERLESS children, teens and adults that many educated, caring, responsible Americans believe is harming our Nation's people.
However, often he is harshly criticized by hateful, illogical thinking, "Pro-Black Americans" desperate to IGNORE WHY for more than 30 years, significant numbers of American music recording artists compose VIOLENT, HATEFUL music art demeaning and denigrating black or African American girls and women as less than human bitches and 'hoes'.
Here is ONE example of a "Pro Black or Conscious Black Community" minded American HARSHLY criticizing Barack Obama for not towing the Pro-Black "We are Victims" mentality.
In a May 20, 2013 Atlantic article titled, "How the Obama Administration Talks to Black America", for-profit author and social commentator Mr. Ta-Nehisi Coates criticizes President Barack "My Brother's Keeper" Obama, as well as puts the president on notice that being truthful about the current #Fatherless condition plaguing the black or African American community could soil his legacy as America's first "cool" president.
In this writing I share my opinions about illogical and hypocritical "Pro-Black" minded American Ta-Nehisi's Coates' willful ignorance.
Sadly, in my opinion "Pro-Black" thinking Michelle "GIRL POWER" Obama, wishing to be known as America's "Cool First Lady", does not give a flying hoot about our struggling black or American neighbors of African descent in that she PROMOTES the careers of Pro-Black thinking Americans composing HATEFUL music art denigrating black or African girls and women as less than human creatures and hoes.
The 'feature" image I attached to this writing, imo, provides a perfect example of Michelle Obama exposing her IGNORANCE and HATE to all her reasonably well adjusted American neighbors.
Sadly, our HATEFUL, illogical thinking "Pro-Black" minded American neighbors view Michelle Obama as a "Queen" who can do no wrong.
I am referring to a significant population of apparent slow-to-evolve, illogical, otherwise Freedom Loving "Pro-Black and Conscious Black Community" American citizens believing they have a right, as well as duty to LOUDLY demean, denigrate, bully, taunt, HATE, harass, and in some instances threaten with violence our peaceful, free-thinking, successful, accomplished black or American neighbors, friends and co-workers of African descent.
"Sell-out" "C^^n" and "Uncle Tom" are just a few HATEFUL, denigrating terms "Pro Black or Conscious Black Community" American citizens use to LOUDLY demean, intimidate and TERRORIZE peaceful, accomplished black or African American citizens choosing to PEACEFULLY pursue THEIR OWN individually unique vision for L, L, (Love) and Happiness.
In my opinion during this broadcast Lady Mocha describes Michelle Obama, as well significant numbers of American moms who are conditioning our Nation's young to embrace HATE.
"BLACK MOTHERS CORRUPTING THEIR DAUGHTER'S" ~LadyMocha
"'Pro-Black American' Logic Succinctly Explained By Social Commentator Mr. David Carroll"
"Social Commentator David Carroll, Coach K, #FATHERLESS American Boys"
Mike, I am not making excuses for Barack Obama submitting to his HATE embracing wife's "Pro-Black Community" mentality.
However, I am sharing my opinions for why I believe Barack Obama lacks strong leadership skills and apparently is willing to allow the HATE embraced by his "Pro-Black" minded wife, as well as our slow-to-evolve "Pro-Black: minded neighbors, to influence his decision making.
I write about and share evidence of America's MUCH IGNORED, oppressive, potentially life scarring black or African American *MATERNAL CHILD CARE* #T_H_U_G_L_I_F_E NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS that I, as well as a growing number of my reasonably responsible, caring, concerned American and foreign born neighbors believe is impeding our black or American friends, neighbors and co-workers of African descent from experiencing the equality and respect all peaceful, reasonably responsible Americans are entitled to enjoy.
"The Hate U Give Little Infants Fvvks *EVERYONE"* ~Tupac Shakur
"We need more people who care; you know what I'm saying? We need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that…" ~Tupac Shakur
Unfortunately, before he developed the confidence to properly promote his #THUGLIFE Child Abuse *AWARENESS* concept, Tupac was brutally murdered by OTHER emotionally or mentally ill victims (*May 18, 2015 – Rise in Suic!de by Black Children Surprises Researchers – The New York Times*) of America's Culture of African American Child Abuse, Neglect and Emotional Maltreatment evolving from America's multi-generational, ignorant, once legal Culture of Racism.
Much like Tupac I'm sorry to pick on moms, though since ancient times they are the primary caregivers we look to keep our young minds feeling SAFE, protected, cared for and loved right from our start.
In her own way, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, M.D., pediatrician and CEO of the Center for Youth Wellness joins the late American urban story-TRUTH-teller Tupac Shakur in PASSIONATELY speaking about the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs), aka *Childhood Trauma*, and later-life health and well being.
Sadly, Tupac LOUDLY and consistently revealed to his fans and admirers, THROUGH NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, he was a 'Childhood Trauma' (#ACEs) victim who matured into an admitted depressed, suic!dal thinking teen and adult speaking about harming his peaceful neighbors to acquire cash needed to feed his neglected, hungry, "hurting" belly…yet NO ONE listened!

[Rainbow over the Moon- Silver Bell] (Sailor Moon doujinshi)
About: Sailor Moon is a Japanese comic book and animated series, written by Naoko Takeuchi. Hundreds, if not thousands of doujinshi (fan comics) have been published in Japan about Sailor Moon. Doujinshi are usually circulated at anime and manga conventions, and are rarely translated into English.
Challenges: The doujinshi written by the group "Blue Lynx" usually operate within a non-canon universe, and so the translator must be deeply familiar with the Sailor Moon meta-series in order to accurately translate the plot. The authors involved each include handwritten prologues, epilogues, and notes throughout their volumes, which are very difficult to decipher.
Results: The translator assigned to this project is a long-time Sailor Moon fan, so navigating the universe set up by Blue Lynx was manageable. Special care was taken to decipher the handwriting of the various authors included. Our customer was so pleased with our work that we were commissioned to translate every doujinshi they owned by Blue Lynx!

Trucking Company Chapter 11
Practical insights from powerhouse attorney, author and speaker Bradley Bailyn.
At first glance, it's easy to assume the trucking industry could be somewhat recession-proof. After all, goods need to be moved regardless of how the rest of the economy is doing. Unfortunately, the trucking industry isn't immune to tough economic times. In fact, the industry faces unique costs and regulatory challenges that don't hamper most other industries. It is enough to have a trucking company owner I spoke with recently to consider leaving the industry entirely.
His concerns were simple: despite decent revenue he feels his business has multiple pain points. Strict regulations have hampered production while rising costs have eaten into profits. He's left with unwieldy equipment and fleet leases and a business structure that isn't built to survive. In other words, he needs help. Luckily, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing might give him the chance he needs to restructure his flailing transportation company into a profitable enterprise.
The possibility of a fresh start seemed to be music to the man's ears, but he was plainly skeptical. Outside of the stigma tied to a bankruptcy filing, he was concerned with other potential issues that a bankruptcy might not fix. Like most people I speak with, he had a lot of questions:
- Could a Chapter 11 filing help him avoid paying judgments against his company?
- Is there any way to lower his tax bill during the bankruptcy process?
- Would a Chapter 11 filing allow him to continue operating while he restructures?
- Is it possible to restructure without filing for bankruptcy protection?
He had a lot of questions. Luckily for him, I love bankruptcy questions. If you have questions about how the protections of a bankruptcy filing might help your business, contact the Bailyn Law Firm and set up a consultation.
Volatility in the Transportation Industry
Each year, the hauling capacity of thousands of truck drivers is taken off the road due to fleets going out of business. According to Avondale Partners, a company that tracks bankruptcies filings among trucking firms each year, well over 1,000 truckers lose their job each quarter due to trucking company closings. And while most of these closures are for smaller companies, the cumulative effect is the same as if multi-billion dollar companies are going under each year.
There was hope in 2016 that growth in industries that are key customers for the trucking industry could help boost fleets across the country. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. Despite some positive movements in the economy, operative revenue has stagnated or fallen due to the rising costs of new equipment and rising wage demands. Additionally, many carriers are finding that new regulations like electronic logging devices and hours of service rules are cutting into productivity. The spiking rates of insurance for carriers large and small have been another cause of concern.
These problems only add to many of the issues common in the transportation industry like costly judgments, tax debt, and expensive leases. Despite these challenges, the steady streams of exits from the industry present profitable opportunities for the trucking companies that stick around. An effective restructuring could turn your struggling company from barely staying afloat to running in the black. But as I told the owner I mentioned above, it all starts with the filing of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition.
The Road to Restructuring
The primary goal of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to allow your company to restructure and come out on the other side with the ability to operate profitably. That goal isn't realistic, though, unless you are able to keep your business running during the transition. Your bankruptcy case will take years to complete, but thankfully you will be able to continue operating like normal during the entire process. In fact, you can stave off disaster in the short-term thanks to what is known as the automatic bankruptcy stay. From the moment that your company files for bankruptcy, it is protected by the automatic stay. The stay halts all collection efforts against. This includes eviction actions and even repossession efforts. While these collection actions are stopped, you will have a chance to work out a plan with your creditors that lets you continue operating while still satisfying some of your debts.
Filing for bankruptcy isn't magic, though. You won't be successful by filing alone; the key is to develop a strategy for restructuring your company in a way that allows to successfully operate once your bankruptcy is over. To do that, you'll need a plan. That's something I can help you with. As a bankruptcy attorney, my role is far more involved than simply filing documents on your behalf. Together, we can look at how restructuring your business and working with your creditors can solve the issues plaguing your company. To do that, you'll need to address all of your obligations to creditors, tax authorities, and employees.
Renegotiating with Creditors
If your business has been having financial difficulties, it is likely that you've already encountered issues with your major creditors. Many trucking companies will begin to retract their business as things slow down. This can mean layoffs, office closures, and more. But even laying off employees might not be enough if you are saddled with equipment you no longer need. Many trucking leases are long-term, and paying for trucks you don't need is a one-way ticket to financial collapse.
If you are facing the threat of having your leased equipment repossessed, the automatic stay I mentioned previously will halt those lawsuits in their tracks. But to succeed long term, you are likely going to need to continue leasing equipment to stay operational. That means potentially negotiating with your creditors regarding your debt as well as the terms of your lease going forward.
Thankfully, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the ideal setting for these negotiations. During your bankruptcy, you will have a chance to negotiate your debt with your creditors. You have some leverage; it's likely that the court will agree to a plan that lowers the amount you owe to your creditors even over their objections. What's more, if your bankruptcy ultimately fails and you are forced to liquidate everything, they could wind up getting nothing. What's more, your creditor probably wants you to stay in business – they need customers too, remember? This leverage may give you and your New York bankruptcy attorney the chance to restructure your debt with your creditors. That could mean forgiving some of what is owed or cutting interest rates. It can also lead to the modification of your lease going forward to give you terms that you can live with. These negotiations can be tough, and if you have multiple creditors they can be complicated .That's what makes hiring the right New York bankruptcy attorney so important.
Tax Debt
Another issue that haunts businesses in every sector is tax debt. The good news is that, much like other creditors, the automatic stay applies to the IRS and New York Tax Authority. The bad news is that your tax debt is never dischargeable through a bankruptcy proceeding. But that doesn't mean you won't get any relief from filing for bankruptcy protections!
When you file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, you will halt any collection activities that tax authorities are currently undertaking. This includes tax levies and seizures. If your business was shuttered by the state due to nonpayment of taxes, you can re-open your doors simply by filing for bankruptcy protection.
Despite your inability to discharge your tax debt, often times tax authorities will negotiate with you like any other creditor. For starters, if your tax debt is so overwhelming that there's no chance you can pay it off and continue to operate, the tax authorities might agree to a deal. In some cases, that can look like a structured repayment plan. In others, it can be a partial forgiveness of the taxes you owe. An experienced New York Bankruptcy attorney can help you work with the IRS and state tax authority with the goal of keeping your business running – and paying taxes for years to come.
Judgment Creditors
Another issue that troubles many trucking companies is liens from judgments entered against them. Trucking companies often face legal issues stemming from vehicle collisions as well as suits over employment disagreements. A judgment creditor is essentially a non-secured creditor; the automatic stay will prevent them from collecting against you. It's also possible to clear judgment liens against your company and even wipe out judgment debt with a successful bankruptcy filing.
And while many filers will seek to simply avoid a judgment, it's possible the court will require that you pay some portion of the judgment as part of the bankruptcy plan. Because of this, it's possible to negotiate with your judgment creditors just like you would anyone else. Older judgments are especially ripe for this type of negotiating, as its possible years' worth of interest could have accumulated. While your creditor will obviously want all of their money, many are more willing to let go of interest payments than they are principal amounts.
Many times, it's impossible to reach an agreement with a judgment creditor. In those cases, your New York bankruptcy attorney can seek to have a plan approved that reduces or eliminates the judgment entirely.
Restructuring Outside of Bankruptcy
One of the most common questions I get is "can't I do all of this without filing for bankruptcy?" The case of the trucking company owner I mentioned above was no different. While the end result of restructuring sounded appealing, he was wary of filing bankruptcy. I was up front with him, as I always am.
The short answer is, yes, it is possible to restructure your business without filing for bankruptcy. In fact, I routinely handle these out-of-court structured settlements for clients. In some cases, it's a better option than filing for bankruptcy. But the big issue is that without the automatic stay and other bankruptcy protections, you lose a lot of your leverage. It only takes one recalcitrant creditor to mess up a negotiated restructuring. The more creditors you have, the more likely it is one of them will throw a wrench in the works.
That's why in many cases I recommend filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The automatic stay is powerful; it will bring creditors to the negotiating table that otherwise wouldn't give you the time of day. In many instances, it is the only avenue for a successful restructuring.
I always enjoy sharing my knowledge with New York business owners, and that was certainly the case when I spoke with the owner of the trucking company I mentioned above. He was concerned for the health of his business, but I could tell he was relieved that he had a potential route to keeping his business open and running for years to come. If you would like to discuss how a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing might help your business survive, give me a call.

Football's governors can't leave Goodes in too-hard basket
It doesn't matter how many times you watch Adam Goodes slowly break under the weight of the vicious booing and the ignorance and fear of the social commentary that accompanied and was amplified over his final three years in football.
Every time, the magnitude of what Goodes offered the game he loved and how that offering was squandered seems more devastating.
The tragic unmaking of Goodes, the two-time premiership champion, dual Brownlow medallist and Swans and Indigenous games record-holder, screened on Channel Ten in prime time on Thursday night via the documentary The Final Quarter.
Watching it cannot have been easy for those who stood against him, nor those who did not see the heckling for what it was. Worse, I imagine, for those well-intentioned AFL bosses who stood by and said so little.
And perhaps worse again for Goodes, the new father now living a life away from the game. The manner of his departure and the horrors that punctuated those last three years would have haunted his memories since. Watching himself play football again after almost four years away perhaps reminded him, too, of what he had lost.
Because the truth is that Goodes remains lost to football. AFL Commission chairman Richard Goyder's comment soon after assuming that role, that Goodes would be an excellent choice as the game's first Indigenous board member, perhaps underlined how little the commission understood the schism between the champion and the league.
And it is a schism that remains to this day. Goodes has never returned to an AFL grand final, never attended a Brownlow count. Next year marks his fifth season out of the game, which would surely see him an automatic inclusion into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. But Goyder and Gillon McLachlan have some work to do to ensure he would even consider attending that event.
While Goodes remains comfortable in the environment of the Sydney Football Club – he became a Bloods legend in their Hall of Fame earlier this year – he has only attended a handful of games since retiring, and those have generally related to the annual GO Foundation game. That organisation named for Goodes and Michael O'Loughlin was established to empower Indigenous youth by education and has no links with the AFL.
Those close to the former Swan wonder whether he will ever come back, so intense is the depth of his disappointment in the way he was treated. And the manner in which the AFL – which campaigned passionately behind the scenes to appoint him Australian of the Year – then failed to back him for fear of a supporter backlash.
It is a schism that would be unrecognisable to those who remember Goodes before 2013. Widely loved and celebrated nationally, he was a regular fixture at the Brownlow unless the Swans were playing in a grand final, and a regular ambassador in the game's heartland throughout September.
Had he retired after the 2012 premiership, this shameful chapter in the history of the AFL would never have taken place.
After watching Ian Darling's expertly edited, brutal portrayal of Goodes' last years in football – all the more brutal for its complete lack of hindsight – it seems incredible that some people are still buying the convenient line that Goodes was booed because he called out a 13-year-old girl. This line was put forward by a group of commentators not known for their empathy for any of life's underdogs.
Goodes, having realised the age of his detractor, implored the public to support and not to blame her. And there are still people in the game who, like at least two AFL commissioners of the time, truly believe the 372-gamer was booed by tens of thousands of so-called fans because he staged for free kicks.
The booing began after Goodes was made Australian of the Year. Although he spoke in measured terms about the plight of his people, he made a lot of other people feel uncomfortable. Why would any Indigenous footballer dare to have spoken up having witnessed what happened to a champion of Goodes' stature?
It was equally sinister to watch two Collingwood presidents a quarter of a century apart explain their racist comments as a "slip of the tongue".
How far in fact has the game truly come? Goodes himself agreed in The Final Quarter that the answer in 2012 was not far enough. Only last month Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett pointed the finger at "new arrivals" hampering the game's security measures. Kennett's apology became as conditional as Barnaby Joyce's "Third Chamber" mea culpa on Thursday when the Hawks boss later backtracked and said he had only apologised to help out McLachlan.
My view is that Darling's documentary, while brilliant, moving and beautifully timed, let the AFL off ever so lightly.
As they privately question themselves and their next move, the fact remains that the game's governors fear that not so much has changed. Perhaps that is why Goyder did not deliver a public apology to Goodes. The best the AFL bosses could offer was a carefully worded, heavily media-managed apology on behalf of the industry, which accompanied the first public screening of Darling's documentary at the Sydney Film Festival last month.
One brave decision would be to set tougher perimeters across the industry in the stand against racism. It seems crazy that there is one rule for club presidents and another for everyone else.
Working to show Goodes how truly sorry they are and how strong a stand they are prepared to take remains a legacy task for both Goyder and McLachlan. My view is that Darling's documentary, while brilliant, moving and beautifully timed, let the AFL off ever so lightly.
Perhaps, though, there was method in Darling's handling of this sensitive issue given the relatively strong support head office has given the film. Stan Grant's The Australian Dream, in which Goodes has played an active role, will soon follow, opening the Melbourne Film Festival on August 1.
And the fact these films have been made at all and will hopefully set a new tone for younger Australians is no small thing. But it doesn't change the fact that Australian rules football, which has prided itself on its social leadership, held a diamond in its hands and threw it away.
Because The Final Quarter introduces a youthfully handsome champion, quietly spoken but full of hope, trying to explain to white Australia what it is to be Indigenous, while brilliantly displaying his craft. By the documentary's close, Goodes no longer looks youthful or hopeful but haunted and hunted.
Now these documentaries are in place, history can no longer be rewritten and younger voices will hopefully drown out the racist deniers. The AFL cannot change what took place, but it remains incumbent upon its governors to ensure Goodes does not exist forever in the game's too-hard basket.

Rok Ovnicek signs for Celje PL, Miha Kavcic joins Gorenje Velenje!
For the second season in a row, a centre back transfers from Gorenje Velenje to Celje PL. This time it is Rok Ovnicek, after Luka Mitrovic did the same last summer. Ovnicek adds to the list of departures from Gorenje Velenje. However, the club from Velenje added another young player to the squad- the pivotman Miha Kavcic.
Rok Ovnicek, another very talented backline player, has strengthened the roster of the Slovenian champions Celje PL. He did well in Gorenje Velenje for the past few seasons, even though he was not the first choice in his position at all times. The 23-year old has signed a 2-year deal with Celje PL and will wear number 10. In 2 SEHA seasons with Gorenje Velenje, Ovnicek recorded 35 appearances, in which he scored 81 goals and had 54 assists.
As Celje PL have Domen Makuc and Jaka Malus at the centre-back position, it seems like one player from the Makuc-Malus-Ovnicek trio will serve as a left back, especially with the departure of Borut Mackovsek. No doubt that Ovnicek will continue improve in the jersey of Celje PL, playing in both the SEHA – Gazprom League, and the Champions League.
With many departures so far, Gorenje Velenje have managed to add another young player to their squad. This time, it is Miha Kavcic, the young pivotman from Jeruzalem Ormoz. The 20-year old scored 93 goals this season, and also boasts an impressive physique, standing at 193cm. He is a regular member of the young Slovenian national team, and looks like a very exciting prospect. Gorenje Velenje have already signed David Miklavcic, Aleks Kavcic, Vid Levc and Emir Taletovic. Their new coach next season is Zoran Jovicic.

Riley Hughes saw his four-game scoring streak (2-5-7) come to an end as his Victoria Grizzlies won their fifth straight game 3-2 in overtime over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Hughes has been playing well as part of the Grizzlies top line. Overall Hughes is 4-6-10 in 11 games.
Joey Keane had a primary assist but it was not enough to prevent his Barrie Colts from dropping a 4-3 decision to the Ottawa 67s. Keane would earn the primary assist on Barrie's first goal, a power play goal in the first period. Keane had the assist on four shots as the Colts saw their winless streak extend to three games (0-2-1-0). Keane is 1-6-7 in six games with a +7.
Nico Gross was scoreless as his Oshawa Generals dropped a 4-2 decision to the Owen Sound Attack. The Generals gave up three goals in the games first 7:18 and never fully recovered. Gross was a -1 on one shot as the Generals fall to 3-3 on the season.
Tyler Nanne made his season debut as part of the first defensive pair as his 13th Minnesota Golden Gophers played to a 1-1 overtime tie with number one Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs. For the game, Nanne was scoreless on four shots.
Nanne who was the Rangers 2014 fifth-round pick is entering his junior season for the Gophers. As an upperclassman, Nanne will be looked for to put up some points from the blueline.
Same two teams will face off on Sunday night starting at 8 PM ET and can be seen using the Fox Sports Go app.

The changing workplace expectations of MNC talents in 2019
In recent years, there has been a shift to a new era of working where young workers are bringing strong expectations into the MNC workplace, demanding flexibility, a workplace culture, interactive work and creative collaboration.
Given that a "happy office life" is pivotal for raising productivity and boosting output, local MNCs are looking to optimise workplace factors that contribute most to happiness, team morale, positive social interaction and acknowledgement.
Creating an environment where employees can be empowered to be their true and best selves, that values their unique talents and perspectives, should be high on priority for MNCs wanting to retain millennial talents, as inclusion is often more elusive than one might expect in the MNC workforce. Hence, there needs to be an increased emphasis by corporate companies to bring people and teams together as a way of fostering that inclusivity and experiment with new ways of working.
In a 2016 workplace survey by Genler, over 2000 Asian office workers focused in six major metropolitan areas were randomly sampled to understand the Asian workplace from the perspective of the worker. Research found that respondents in balanced workplaces are more satisfied with their jobs, see their companies as more creative and innovative, have better relationships with their co-workers and have greater work-life balance. Flexibility in day to day job scope and a lack of hierarchy in how workspaces are assigned, also prove important factors to Asian office workers today.
How MNCs in Singapore can improve workplace environment to increase productivity and wellness
About half of all the MNCs in Singapore, ranked workspace planning as their main priority for the coming years. They are also increasingly aware of technological disruption. Staff wellness and employee retention have now become a paramount consideration for employers, and companies are implementing re-structuring strategies to ensure the workplace environment they offer remains attractive for skilled workers.
Some Singapore-based MNCs are already placing increased focus on space-optimisation and have started to move from fixed desks to "activity-based working" (ABW), and "hot desking", where employees don't have a fixed desk so they sit with different people and teams across the business. Some businesses have also started to move certain departments into flexible workspaces to boost collaboration and encourage a more creative working environment. Companies who have already begun to implement such strategies not only optimise space but seen improvements in effective teamwork that generate higher productivity and profits.
Realising the substantial benefits of having an office that encourages productivity, motivation and mindfulness, local MNCs should be planning to increase their use of flexible co-working and collaborative space over the next few years. This will present opportunities for local corporations to reap the benefits of an optimized workspace. Many MNCs are currently looking to establish a more innovative environment that feels less restrictive and regimented in order to allow ideas to flow and employees to flourish in brilliance and creativity.
Also, to keep up with the fast-pace of digital transformation, organisations need to keep up with new approaches of how people work and collaborate. Underlying this shift in work culture is technology. The right collaboration technology needs to be in place to enable teams to collaborate, and employees to have the same access to resources as if they were in the office.
The new generation of millennial talents is keen to be able to progress at work and to forge their own path. This will require good management and commitment, a willingness to challenge conventional office practices, and structural but flexible frameworks that empower employees to grow individually, as a team and an organisation. With these successful changes, MNC companies will realise the huge untapped productivity and efficiency potential.
Find out why more and more major MNCs are moving their teams into flexible workspaces for a better work environment and how the Government is helping lay the groundwork to meet current and future demand.

Gastrointestinal parasites infesting grevy's zebra (equus grevyi) in the Samburu landscape in Samburu County
Mwatenga, Matano S.
MetadataShow full item record
The Grevy zebra (Equus grevy's), also known as the imperial zebra is the largest wild equid of the three species of zebras. The other two are the plain zebras (Equus quagga) and the mountain zebras (Equus zebra harmannae). It belongs to the class mammalia, order perissodactyla and its family is Equidae. Among the three, it is also rated as the most threatened species. Grevy zebras have narrow black and white striping patterns. A mature one stands between 1.5 to 1.6 metres in height and weighs between 350 to 450 kilograms. The population size of Grevy's zebra has been declining drastically despite conservation efforts, such as the hunting ban by the Kenyan government in 1977. However, the role of disease causing parasites has not been adequately addressed. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the various types of gastro-intestinal (GIT) parasites in Grevy's Zebras in the Samburu landscape of the Samburu County in the Northern Kenya. It also targeted to determine parasitic infestation levels within the different age categories and sex of the animals. Age determination was done through observation of their height, body coloration and mane length at their back. This study was conducted between July and December 2010. Fresh dung samples were collected from the field and observed for parasites in the laboratory using a light microscope. Parasites were identified by use of qualitative methods including direct saline preparation, formolether sedimentation technique and Haranda Mori Culture techniques. Quantitative method that uses Cornell-McMaster dilution egg counting technique was used to determine the parasite infestation level in each faecal sample. In total, nine (9) types of parasites were identified from a total of 207 faecal samples that were analyzed. This included both the helminnthic and the protozoan type. The protozoan type recovered included, the Eimeria leuckarti (15%), Entamoeba equi (13%), Balantidium coli (1.0%) and Giardia intestinalis. (1.0%) while the helminthic type included Strongylus vulgaris (98.1%), Strongyloide westeri (55.6%), Trichonema sp (5.8%), Parascaris equorium (5.3%), and Trichuris trichiura (0.5%). All the samples (100%) were found to harbour single or mixed type of helminthes and protozoan parasites. Strongylus vulgaris had the highest occurrence while the lowest was recorded by Trichuris trichiura in the helminthic group while in the protozoan type, the highest was Eimeria leuckarti while the lowest was Giardia intestinalis. KruskalWallis Test was used to compare infestation levels within the three zebra age categories. The age categories included the foals, the juveniles and the adult. The test revealed that there was a significant difference in the number of parasites in the three age categories (H = 6.522, P < 0.05). The parasitic infestation level was higher in adult grevy zebras than in foals and juveniles. Analysis using Mann- Whitney test was used to determine infestation levels between males and females. This test showed that there was no significant difference in infections between males and females (U (16) = 40, P > 0.05). In order to prevent the spread of gastro-intestinal parasites, the contamination of pasture land should be prevented by treating the hosts with antihelminthics. In this regard, the Samburu pastoralists should be encouraged to use antihelminthics to treat their animals since they share similar habitat with the Grevy zebras and this will reduce cases of cross transmission of the parasites. The government or non-profitable development agencies should include Grevy zebras in their priority lists of research and develop sustainable integrated diseases prevention and control programs that are practical for developing communities.

text: college What's behind America's college completion crisis? By Paulette Parker • Feb 27, 2017 Schlüsselbein2007 / Flickr CC / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Earning a college degree can create a pathway to a better job, higher wages and overall improved quality of life. Studies show that college graduates earn significantly more money throughout their lifetime people with just a high school degree. State investment in higher education in the U.S. has increased overall By Paulette Parker • Feb 16, 2017 Pictures of Money / Flickr CC / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 State funding for higher education in the U.S. is showing continued growth overall. That's according to the results of the latest Grapevine survey, an annual compilation of data on state fiscal support for higher education. State funding rose by 3.4% across the U.S. from the 2015-16 to 2016-17 fiscal years. James Palmer is a professor of higher education at Illinois State University and Grapevine Editor. Nearly half of America's college students are going hungry, study says By Paulette Parker • Dec 13, 2016 Steven Tyrie / Flickr CC / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 The National School Lunch Program helps keep low-income kids from going hungry while they're in school. Over 21 million K-12 students in the U.S. received free and reduced-priced school lunches during the 2014-2015 school year. But what happens to these same kids when they go off to college? A recent study found nearly half of college students across the country are food insecure. That means they struggle just to get enough affordable, nutritious food. The FAFSA launches October 1. Here's what you need to know. By Paulette Parker • Sep 30, 2016 Tax Credits / Flickr CC / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 I know, I know. School just started and here we are already talking about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA application period used to start January 1. But for the 2017-2018 academic year, it launches three months sooner on October 1, 2016. Here are some things you need to know if you decide to sit down at the computer this weekend to start your application: To minority parents, college is key to children's success By Paulette Parker • Mar 7, 2016 Oğuzhan Abdik / Flickr Creative Commons / http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Did you go to college after high school and complete a degree? What influenced your decision, either way? It turns out that attitudes about the importance of a college education differ between racial and ethnic groups. Black and Hispanic parents are more likely than white parents to see a college degree as key to their children's success, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. How can Michigan improve college access and affordability? By Brittany Bartkowiak • Sep 25, 2015 COD Newsroom / Flickr Creative Commons The Center for Michigan's latest report on improving career navigation and college affordability has received a lot of attention, and rightfully so. Student debt is an issue that is on a lot of people's minds; from the university admissions office, to the family dinner table and even on the presidential campaign trail. Four in five Michigan residents say that improving college affordability isn't just a suggestion, but an urgent priority for the state. National suicide prevention campaign visits Michigan as deaths continue to rise By Brittany Bartkowiak • Sep 18, 2015 Brittany Bartkowiak / Michigan Radio The sun is beaming down on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus on what is likely one of the last summer days of the season. The open space in front of the library is full of students and professors rushing to grab lunch before their next class. Earnings gaps stand out in Obama's new "College Scorecard" By Adam Allington • Sep 15, 2015 Photo via CMU Facebook In the wave of data about higher education that the White House released last weekend, one fact emerges that was already painfully clear: The "haves" in higher education have quite a lot; the "have-nots" struggle mightily. President Obama had been talking for some time now about creating a Consumer Reports-style college ratings system. On Saturday, the president unveiled his much-anticipated College Scorecard. "You'll be able to see how much each school's graduates earn, how much debt they graduate with, and what percentage of a school's students can pay back their loans," the president said in his weekly address. U of M prof wants to get rid of the FAFSA form entirely By Jennifer Guerra • Aug 24, 2015 user John Patrick Robichaud / flickr We've said it before, but it bears repeating: filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form, or the FAFSA, can be a pain in the butt. But at this point, there's no way around it. If you're hoping to get some federal grants or financial aid to help offset the costs of college, then you're going to have to fill it out. As my colleague Dustin Dwyer noted in a story he did earlier this year, even the U.S. Department of Education acknowledges there are serious problems with our country's financial aid system. Is free college the solution for ballooning student debt ? By Adam Allington • Aug 11, 2015 U.S. Department of Education Proposals for making college debt-free have become all but mandatory for Democratic candidates on the presidential primary campaign trail. Hillary Clinton rolled out her plan at a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Monday. Called the "New College Compact," the proposal would cost $350 billion over 10 years. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

Surprise Thursday Post
After I got home from work on Friday, I took a nap. It was hot (it got up to 118F) and bright and I resent the influx of the Protestant Work Ethic that ignores the fact that smart people sleep during the hottest part of the day. Anyway, while I was asleep, my boss called and let me know that they wanted to keep me until the end of July, more or less.
This is more or less perfect, because it will give me enough time to get everything done before we move. Moving has become the all-encompassing thought pattern. I want it to be done, to be moved already, and I'm sort of resenting the intervening time that I have to wait to get to it. Especially since it's keeping me from enjoying things I normally love, like browsing at the used bookstore or thrift shopping, because everything I think about has to pass the Would I move it across the country? test before I can bring it home, and almost everything fails.
Meanwhile, it's hard to do anything other than browse in stores (no longer fun!) or go to movies because it's just too hot to go outside. Monday I indulged in the kind of outright complaining about the heat that I normally stop myself from doing, and I realized how absolutely tired I am of the unrelenting heat. Late October to early April, more or less, this is a beautiful state to live in, and I've always joked about how everywhere you go has a lousy season, and at least you don't have to shovel sunshine. Which is true, certainly, but unless you live in the extreme north, most places don't have up to seven months of crappy weather.
I've lived in Arizona most of my life. I moved to Phoenix with my parents when I was in elementary school. We moved to Tucson a few years later, and I spent junior high and high school there, but I moved back to Phoenix for college when I was 18. Aside from a brief period in Pennsylvania, I've spent my entire adult life in the East Valley.
I started this post on Tuesday morning, and was basically going to go into a paen about the bittersweet nature of leaving somewhere you've been for a long time, particularly with the idea that I might never return to Phoenix again.
And then, on Tuesday night, we had the worst dust storm in modern history. Bad enough that the news channels stole a word to describe it that has its origins in a desert much more terrible and unforgiving than ours. It struck my part of the Valley around 7:45, almost immediately after I got in the car to go pick Jack up from work. I drove through the worst part of it, through an unnatural darkness that reminded me of nothing so much as a blizzard. There was a tiny bit of moisture in the storm, just enough that my car looks like it was raining mud.
I'm ready to leave now.

Earlier this month the CAPA – Centre for Aviation Low Cost Long Haul Global Summit in Seville, the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain, brought together industry experts to discuss the latest emerging airline market.
New aircraft technologies, evolving passenger preferences and stable fuel prices are pushing LCCs (and restructuring full service airlines) to consider new growth opportunities. High fare long haul markets are ripe for disruption and airports/destinations are aggressively courting new routes. New city pairs are emerging, and secondary airports are featuring regularly in the long haul low cost networks.
Here, in the first part of our video review of the event, we highlight the first of the panel sessions…
- Can the full service carrier and low cost long haul model exist in the market side by side?
While LCCs are still a relatively young force they have massively disrupted air travel and the way all airlines now think about serving the public. With a nimble strategy offering point to point connectivity, industry innovations, ancillary focused activities and modern digitalisation and technological practices, they have become the new 'normal' in the industry, causing major headaches for the full service carriers on short haul markets. Whether low cost carriers will create a similar transformative effect in the long haul sector remains to be seen.
No less than 19 LCCs have launched widebody services in the last six years, while further disruption is on the cards in the long haul narrowbody space. The new generation single aisle Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo aircraft families have brought long, thin routes into the realm of operational and financial viability for LCCs, in turn stimulating new traffic between secondary city pairs and allowing passengers to bypass traditional hubs. Yet the low cost long haul model doesn't have the same inherent cost advantages as the short haul model, which potentially narrows the cost gap between LCCs and FSCs, and growth has come at the expense of profits for many LHLCCs.
The prospects for independent low cost long haul carriers aren't particularly promising either; it's rare for secondary point to point markets to be large enough to operate sustainably without additional feed. Still, low cost long haul airline growth shows no signs of abating. As the average passenger profile moves towards the price sensitive end of the spectrum, outstripping growth in premium markets, it becomes harder for higher cost airlines to sustain previous expansion rates without deploying radical strategies to address the low cost long haul onslaught.
- Generating non-ticket revenue streams – leveraging retailing and ancillary initiatives
LCCs are constantly looking at finessing their retailing and merchandising strategies – whether it's during the booking phase, pre flight or onboard, with relevant, timely offers that are easily accessible (preferably via mobile) and easy to pay for. This is especially important in today's digitalised environment, where onboard connectivity is virtually a must have and almost as critical for the traveller as getting to the destination.
- Financing and funding growth: managing risk with large aircraft orders
LCCs, as the newer players in the industry, are competing to meet future growth needs. They can scarcely afford to stand still if they are to assert themselves in the long term – especially as newer models enter. The need to plan for fleet expansion and replacement, as well as making decisions on leasing and purchasing. For larger LCC groups, one notable strategy to offset the risk inherent in large forward orders has been to establish a leasing capability, to absorb any excess capacity as new aircraft are delivered.
- LCCs working as part of a full service/low cost group: secrets for success
The majority of low cost long haul airlines operate either as part of a larger low cost group or they are subsidiaries of full service carriers. Indeed the number of successful independent low cost long haul operators is rare; currently there is only one independent airline in the newly launched French Bee, while another start up, US based World Airways, is in the works.
But independent long haul LCCs have historically struggled because they have lacked short haul feed from a sister airline, adding merit to the argument that long haul LCCs work better if they are part of an LCC group with short haul connectivity.
Meanwhile in an attempt to combat growing LCC competition, many full service carriers have wisely avoided unsustainable price matching (although tiered fare products are a popular tactic amongst the US majors) and launched their own LCCs. Yet embedding a low cost culture within a legacy environment poses its own set of challenges, especially where services and systems are shared.
A constant threat is that the subsidiary cannibalises the principal's mainline traffic. But the success of Qantas' Jetstar, launched more than a decade ago, shows that if executed correctly, low cost subsidiaries can generate remarkable synergies for both parent and child carrier.
- Adapting marketing and distribution strategies for long haul customers
It is questionable whether LCCs can continue to adhere to simple, low cost distribution methods, given the inevitable complexity that low cost long haul generates. At the very least, a more flexible approach to marketing and distribution is required and LCCs are responding and adapting to the (often different) needs of long haul customers, where price for example, doesn't hold as much sway in promoting brand stickiness.

Tokyo is the world's largest megalopolis, arguably the cleanest and safest too. But what fascinates me is the intricate way 34 million people survive in the density and sometimes crush of humanity. On the surface there may be a homogenous veneer to the inhabitants, but as I learned when living in Japan, Tokyo-ites have an intense, often fierce individuality. Getting to know a few of them well, they revealed their inner selves to me, which sparked a realization of a deeper individuality in myself.

Bears in various forms have been popular in myth and fiction for thousands of years, from Inuit traditions and the Greek myth of Callisto to John Irving's cameo appearances of bears in his novels, and from William Kotswinkle's bear turned New York literary sensation to, of course, Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, and The Three Bears. We respect them and are in awe of their size, physical strength, and seemingly introspective intelligence. Not to mention bear cubs are so cuddly they inspired the ubiquitous teddy bear. Yoko Tawada, award-winning novelist who was born in Tokyo and lives in Germany, has no fewer than three bears starring as main characters in her novel, along with a cast of other bears and non-bear animals (including those of the human species).
When Japanese answer the phone, they usually say "moshi moshi," which means something like "I'm here and I can talk." Moshi Moshi, the title of Banana Yoshimoto's latest novel, refers to the phone that the main character's father left at home before leaving to commit suicide with his paramour. The main character, Yoshie, dreams that her father is trying to find his phone to call her. But the title also captures the feeling that Yoshie has something to say about her father, and that she can finally say it. She needs to say it.

BB King Dead at 89.
B.B. King, whose scorching guitar licks and
heartfelt vocals made him the idol of generations of musicians and fans while earning him the nickname King of the Blues, died late Thursday at home in Las Vegas. He as 89.
His attorney, Brent Bryson, told The Associated Press that King died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 p.m. PDT.
Bryson said funeral arrangements were being made.
Although he had continued to perform well into his 80s, the 15-time Grammy winner suffered from diabetes and had been in declining health during the past year. He collapsed during a concert in Chicago last October, later blaming dehydration and exhaustion. He had been in hospice care at his Las Vegas home.
For most of a career spanning nearly 70 years, Riley B. King was not only the undisputed king of the blues but a mentor to scores of guitarists, who included Eric Clapton, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall and Keith Richards. He recorded more than 50 albums and toured the world well into his 80s, often performing 250 or more concerts a year.
King played a Gibson guitar he affectionately called Lucille with a style that included beautifully crafted single-string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos and bent notes.
The result could bring chills to an audience, no more so than when King used it to full effect on his signature song, "The Thrill is Gone." He would make his guitar shout and cry in anguish as he told the tale of forsaken love, then end with a guttural shouting of the final lines: "Now that it's all over, all I can do is wish you well."
His style was unusual. King didn't like to sing and play at the same time, so he developed a call-and-response between him and Lucille.
"Sometimes I just think that there are more things to be said, to make the audience understand what I'm trying to do more," King told The Associated Press in 2006. "When I'm singing, I don't want you to just hear the melody. I want you to relive the story, because most of the songs have pretty good storytelling."
A preacher uncle taught him to play, and he honed his technique in abject poverty in the Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the blues.
"I've always tried to defend the idea that the blues doesn't have to be sung by a person who comes from Mississippi, as I did," he said in the 1988 book "Off the Record: An Oral History of Popular Music."
"People all over the world have problems," he said. "And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die."
Fellow travelers who took King up on that theory included Clapton, the British-born blues-rocker who collaborated with him on "Riding With the King," a best-seller that won a Grammy in 2000 for best traditional blues album.
Still, the Delta's influence was undeniable. King began picking cotton on tenant farms around Indianola, Mississippi, before he was a teenager, being paid as little as 35 cents for every 100 pounds, and was still working off sharecropping debts after he got out of the Army during World War Two.
"He goes back far enough to remember the sound of field hollers and the cornerstone blues figures, like Charley Patton and Robert Johnson," ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons once told Rolling Stone magazine.
King got his start in radio with a gospel quartet in Mississippi, but soon moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where a job as a disc jockey at WDIA gave him access to a wide range of recordings. He studied the great blues and jazz guitarists, including Django Reinhardt and T-Bone Walker, and played live music a few minutes each day as the "Beale Street Blues Boy," later shortened to B.B.
Through his broadcasts and live performances, he quickly built up a following in the black community, and recorded his first R&B hit, "Three O'Clock Blues," in 1951.
He began to break through to white audiences, particularly young rock fans, in the 1960s with albums like "Live at the Regal," which would later be declared a historic sound recording worthy of preservation by the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.
He further expanded his audience with a 1968 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and when he opened shows for the Rolling Stones in 1969.
King was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received the Songwriters Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush, gave a guitar to Pope John Paul II and had President Barack Obama sing along to his "Sweet Home Chicago."
Other Grammys included best male rhythm 'n' blues performance in 1971 for "The Thrill Is Gone," best ethnic or traditional recording in 1982 for "There Must Be a Better World Somewhere" and best traditional blues recording or album several times. His final Grammy came in 2009 for best blues album for "One Kind Favor."
Through it all, King modestly insisted he was simply maintaining a tradition.
"I'm just one who carried the baton because it was started long before me," he told the AP in 2008.
Born Riley B. King on Sept. 16, 1925, on a tenant farm near Itta Bena, Mississippi, King was raised by his grandmother after his parents separated and his mother died. He worked as a sharecropper for five years in Kilmichael, an even smaller town, until his father found him and took him back to Indianola.
"I was a regular hand when I was 7. I picked cotton. I drove tractors. Children grew up not thinking that this is what they must do. We thought this was the thing to do to help your family," he said.
When the weather was bad and he couldn't work in the cotton fields, he walked 10 miles to a one-room school before dropping out in the 10th grade.
After he broke through as a musician, it appeared King might never stop performing. When he wasn't recording, he toured the world relentlessly, playing 342 one-nighters in 1956. In 1989, he spent 300 days on the road. After he turned 80, he vowed he would cut back, and he did, somewhat, to about 100 shows a year.
He had 15 biological and adopted children. Family members say 11 survive.
