Kirk Archibeque off to blazing start
Former M-CHS basketball star playing for Poland's Rosa Radom
Roughly 5,600 miles from Cortez, across the Atlantic Ocean, former Montezuma-Cortez High School basketball star Kirk Archibeque is serving his hometown of Cortez proud.
Now in his sixth professional season, Archibeque is playing for Polish powerhouse Rosa Radom, and thus far, the powerful big-man is making a major impact.
Averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest, Archibeque has led his team to a 9-5 record against top teams from Ukraine, Lithuania and the Czech Republic.
"Early in the season, we are stepping outside of our league to get some other competition," wrote Archibeque in an email to the Cortez Journal. "We want to be ready for the season."
In addition to his gaudy early-season statistics, Archibeque has garnered widespread praise in the form of an MVP award presented to the top player in a tournament hosted by Rosa Radom earlier this season.
"It was great to be named MVP because the tournament president, along with all the coaches at the tournament, nominated me," wrote Archibeque. "It was good to get recognized and it feels great to have that honor."
Teaming with Archibeque on this year's Rosa Radom team is former Michigan State and Iowa State point guard Korie Lucious, a player who college basketball fans might remember for his late-game heroics during the 2010 NCAA tournament.
For Archibeque, the opportunity to play alongside skilled teammates such as Lucious, as well the experience of living in the city of Radom, has made this season enjoyable thus far.
"I have really enjoyed playing here," Archibeque wrote. "(Radom) is a great city for my daughter. She is going to school in a bilingual school, and she loves it. (Radom) is just a great family town, we have everything we need, and it is just fantastic to be here right now."
As for his individual goals for the remainder of the season, Archibeque wrote that he hopes to remain healthy, serve as a team leader and average a double-double.
Always the consummate teammate, Archibeque stressed that his overarching goal is ensure that his team finishes among the top six teams in the league. A finish in the top three would be ideal, he added.
"Poland is getting more money to put toward basketball," wrote Archibeque, describing the increasingly competitive landscape of Polish professional leagues. "More foreign players are arriving, which in turn is causing more fans to attend games. Poland is just a great place for me to be right now. I am very lucky to be here."
Always cognizant of his hometown roots, Archibeque stressed that he is extremely proud to be from Cortez and rest assured, Cortez is equally proud to be able to claim the basketball star as one of its own.

Ryan Braun and Collective Bargaining
As Braun's victory displays in dramatic fashion, collective bargaining is not merely about wages and benefits, it is the foundation for basic dignity in a workplace, and it radiates outward to all workplaces, whether it be a major league dugout or a welding shop, whether it's a police precinct or a classroom.
Walker and his anti-union defenders who scorn collective bargaining must think that a millionaire ballplayer is not a sympathetic figure to people who work for a living. But that's just not the case. Wisconsin understands that that standing together makes us stronger.

Can't get enough of Joe Johnson's heroics? Nor can we. John Schuhmann, the deep, deep stats guy at NBA.com, proves what we've all thought. There is no one more clutch in the NBA this season. In the last minute of the fourth quarter or overtime, with the game on the line (within three points), Johnson is 9-of-10. That is far and away the best percentage of any player in that situation. Kyrie Irving has two more clutch shots, but has taken 17. Chris Paul has the next highest percentage at 77.8 percent, followed by O.J. Mayo and Shawn Marion, 75 percent. And as Howard Beck points out, He is 4 for 4 in the final 10 seconds when the margin is 3 points or fewer.

I received the Craftsman Locking Pliers Set as part of my Christmas gift. As soon as I opened them, I wondered why I had never purchased these years ago. The soft grip handles are excellent as they cushion my hands as I apply force to lock them closed on a bolt or nut. This is important as my hands are ate up with nerve damage and ever little bit helps. The cushioning also helps as I apply force to turn the pliers which do not slip a bit once locked in place. Thank you Craftsman for an awesome product.
Meriden, CT
I hesitated to use another brand name in my headline, but it's important to me to express my satisfaction . These are every bit as sturdy as that brand, with comfort grip and easy release ( no tongue lever) . This style of release will save me from many blackened fingernails and that alone makes this set more valuable to me. Add in the build quality and the comfort grips and the craftsman quality / warranty at a lower price then said brand above........and it's a no brainer! I highly recommend these as well as any craftsman hand tool.

A must have tool for repairs. The comfortable grip is a plus to have for difficult jobs. The choice of three sizes comes in handy as well.

Not a great pliers set. There is no release latch for the vicegrip so you actually have to pull the pliers apart which is a huge pain in the neck. I just started out and needed a bunch of affordable tools all at once. These were pretty cheap. I wouldn't buy them again, though. They might be fine fixing a car in your garage but I wouldn't recommend them for professional usage.

I have original ViseGrip pliers and decided to buy these as extra. They have a nice feel to them, but only the long nose pliers are the size as claimed. The 10 in. are actually 8 in. and the 7 in. are 6.5 in. When I measure my ViseGrips they are exactly the measurement claimed and stamped on the tool. They are good pliers, but they literally don't measure up to size.

- Title:
- "The Who's Tommy"
- When:
- July 29 2013
- Where:
- Cuyahoga Community College -
- Category:
- Community Bulletinboard
When 18-year old Orange High School senior Miles Sternfeld began preparing for his senior project, he knew exactly what he wanted to do: bring Broadway to Cleveland. And that's exactly what he's done. With the help of mentor, Sean Szaller (who also serves as the production's musical director), Sternfeld set out to produce a 1-night only benefit performance of "The Who's Tommy" which, coincidentally, was the first full blown musical he was in as a child. Miles was also very clear that he wanted all proceeds from this production to benefit Broadway Cares – and Joe Norton at BC/EFA was happy to jump on board to offer his support.
On Monday, July 29th at 7:30pm, "The Who's Tommy" will play a 1-night engagement at the Cuyahoga Community College Eastern Campus Theater in Highland Hills, OH. Nick Blaemire (Godspell, Dogfight, Glory Days) will step into the title role of the pinball wizard. As Tommy's conflicted parents, Michael Berry (Next to Normal, Les Mis) and Jodie Langel (Martin Guerre, Les Mis) will lend their incredible talents to the production. Lastly, vocal powerhouse Adrienne Warren (Bring it On) will step into the shoes of the Gypsy (the Acid Queen). These 4 guest artists will be joined by a myriad of Cleveland based performers to make for an electrifying production. All AEA artists are appearing courtesy of the Theatre Authority, Inc.
Rounding out the production team will be choreographer, Martín Céspedes, lighting designer, Benjamin Gantose and sound designer, Carlton Guc. The cast will be accompanied by 8 of the finest union musicians in Cleveland.
Tickets range from $15-$65. VIP passes will allow guests to join private pre/post show receptions and mingle with the cast.

The University of Tennessee released the notice of allegations sent by the NCAA this morning. The key points:
What's Good For Tennessee
* The UT baseball program was not cited for any rules violations.
What's Bad For Tennessee
* Allegations of impermissible contact with prospective student-athletes resulting from a cumulative total of 96 impermissible phone calls over a 24-month period. (This was expected.)
* Allegations that Bruce Pearl had impermissible contact with junior recruits at his home, had acted contrary to the principles of ethical conduct, had failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance, and had failed to monitor the activities regarding compliance of all assistant coaches. (This was expected.)
* Allegations that Pearl and an assistant coach had impermissible contact with a recruit at his high school. (This had been rumored.)
* Allegations that three basketball assistants had failed to furnish full and complete information relevant to the investigation. (This was expected.)
* Allegations that a former assistant football coach had made impermissible contacts with recruits. (This was expected.)
* Allegations that Lane Kiffin's football staff had made 16 impermissible phone contacts with recruits. (This had been rumored.)
* Allegations that Kiffin failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the football program and failed to monitor the activities regarding compliance of several assistant coaches. Also, allegations that Kiffin permitted a recruiting intern to make impermissible contact with a high school coaching staff during a visit. (This was expected.)
* Allegations that the University had failed to monitor the men's basketball coaching staff's telephone contacts with recruits and their relatives. (This was expected.)
Initial Observations:
* The words "lack of institutional control" were not used in the release. UT officials had to have sighed with relief on that one.
* UT was cited for failure to monitor Pearl's phone calls, but not for failing to monitor Kiffin in general. That is big huge plus for Tennessee.
* It seems that Pat Haden might have some decisions to make regarding Kiffin's continued employment at Southern Cal.
* With Kiffin and his aides listed prominently in the notice of allegations, the appeals of UT and Kiffin (and his ex-aides) might be linked in terms of time frame. If Kiffin and crew delay, conceivably, it could slow down the NCAA's final verdict on UT.
* There were no unexpected allegations — at first view — levied toward Pearl. Depending on the NCAA's penalties, it looks as though Tennessee's coach will survive. Whether he should or not is a matter of great debate. But if AD Mike Hamilton is to be believed, UT will keep Pearl on staff. The fact that no new violations popped up makes that more likely.
* Following a 22-month investigation into three different Vol sports, the NCAA's findings could have been much, much worse. For instance, UT could have been hit with a failure to monitor charge in football as well as in basketball. Instead, Kiffin takes that failure to monitor charge with him to Los Angeles.
Tennessee will now have 90 days to go before the NCAA and debate these charges. It's believed they will head to Indianapolis in mid-June. At that point, the NCAA will then decide on penalties. And predicting penalties from the NCAA requires more tools than Doppler radar and StormTracker. It's a crapshoot as whether or not the NCAA will drop the hammer on Pearl or not.
But, again, the letter of allegations could have been worse. So it's possible that UT escapes this entire episode with scholarship reductions in basketball, small scholarship reductions in football, recruiting restrictions in basketball and some sort of suspension for Pearl.
From UT's perspective, that's survivable. But is it just? Let the debate begin.

Hundreds of gay and lesbian couples streamed into city halls from Boston to the Berkshires on Monday as Massachusetts became the first state to allow same-sex marriages.
Weddings were held on a hill overlooking a park, in churches and synagogues, in the shoebox quarters of justices of the peace, and on a Christmas tree farm with peacocks, pigs, turkeys and Icelandic sheep nearby.
''Your marriage is an example to others of how life is supposed to work,'' Rosaria E. Salerno, Boston's city clerk, told Joe Rogers and Tom Weikle, choking with emotion as she married the longtime couple in City Hall's first same-sex ceremony Monday morning. ''You really are already married. The only thing that's been wrong with your marriage, if I can put it that way, is that it hasn't been public. And this is so exciting because the moment I put my name on that piece of paper, your marriage is public.''
Gay rights advocates hailed this day, which fell on the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, as an occasion that evoked the triumphs -- and the social vindication -- of the civil rights era.

About the Bureau of Consumer Protection
Jessica Rich, Director
The FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection stops unfair, deceptive or fraudulent practices in the marketplace. We conduct investigations, sue companies and people that violate the law, develop rules to ensure a vibrant marketplace, and educate consumers and businesses about their rights and responsibilities. We collect complaints about hundreds of issues from data security and deceptive advertising to identity theft and Do Not Call violations, and make them available to law enforcement agencies worldwide for followup. Our experienced and motivated staff is nimble, using 21st century tools to anticipate – and respond to – changes in the marketplace.
Seven divisions make up BCP:
- Advertising Practices protects consumers by enforcing the nation's truth-in-advertising laws, with particular emphasis on claims for food, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and alcohol, and on conduct related to high-tech products and the internet.
- Consumer and Business Education plans, develops, and implements creative national campaigns in plain English and Spanish to alert consumers to their rights and to explain the science of compliance to industry.
- Enforcement litigates civil contempt and civil penalty actions to enforce all FTC federal court injunctions and administrative orders that address consumer protection issues, including advertising and financial practices, data security, high-tech fraud, and telemarketing and other scams. The Division also coordinates FTC actions with criminal law enforcement agencies through its Criminal Liaison Unit; develops, reviews, and enforces a variety of consumer protection rules; and runs the Bureau's Hispanic initiative, bankruptcy program, and collections shop.
- Financial Practices protects consumers from unfair or deceptive practices in the financial services area, including mortgage and debt relief scams; harmful debt collection and payday lending practices; and deceptive claims related to motor vehicle sales, financing and leasing. DFP also leads the Commission's efforts to promote stronger consumer protections in the mobile marketplace, including protections for mobile payments and measures to prevent mobile "cramming."
- Marketing Practices leads the Commission's response to internet, telecommunications, and direct-mail fraud; deceptive spam; fraudulent business, investment, and work-at-home schemes; and violations of the Do Not Call and Robocall provisions of the Telemarketing Sales Rule.
- Planning & Information collects and analyzes complaints about consumer fraud, identity theft, and the National Do Not Call Registry, and makes them available to law enforcement; helps distribute redress to consumers; and provides cutting-edge technological investigative and litigation support.
- Privacy and Identity Protection protects consumers' privacy; works to prevent identity theft and helps consumers whose identities have been stolen; and implements laws and regulations for the credit reporting industry, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
BCP's national impact and local presence is amplified by our regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. Each office uses the full BCP playbook while ensuring BCP is attuned to the dynamism and diversity of the U.S. marketplace.
As we approach our 100th anniversary, BCP is proud to be the nation's cop on the consumer beat, prepared to meet current challenges – and those around the corner – with expertise and excitement.

After teachers reject pay concession, Thornton's salary pledge uncertain
Now that teachers have rejected a proposal to give up a portion of their salary next year to help reduce class sizes in Milwaukee Public Schools, will community leaders who agreed to similarly give up a week's worth of their pay next year be inclined to keep that commitment?
So far, that answer seems to be maybe. And yes. »Read Full Blog Post(90)
