The bold new revitalization project for the city of Inglewood under the watchful eye of Mayor Jim Butts took its first giant leap on Tuesday when representatives of Madison Square Garden joined city officials to launch the renovation of its iconic treasure, The Forum.
More than 40 years after what was once known as The Fabulous Forum had played host to five Lakers NBA championships, performances by the Jacksons, Elvis Presley, Janet Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, The Eagles and Monday Night Fights the building will reopen after a $100 million renovation under the name Forum presented by Chase with a concert by the Eagles Jan. 15, 2014.
After the Lakers bolted to Staples Center in 1999, leaving behind a legacy of memories including the 'Showtime' era, The Forum sat dormant from 2000 until most recent, and the debate of demolition was more dominant than any team or event that had played there.
Bishop Kenneth L. Ulmer kept the Forum on a respirator for the greater part of the past decade when Faithful Central Church purchased the building and held Sunday services.
"What motivated us (to purchase the Forum) was the concern for what happens to the city, what happens to a caucus. We really felt the challenge to try to bridge that gap from yesterday until tomorrow and it was a challenge, it was a good run and we were able to pass the baton to a great company," explained Ulmer.
Ulmer applauded the bright new future for the building and the city and stated that his primary concern was the building being demolished.
"I think that our concern was the city was moving into a new day, a new era and we were a link to that. We wanted to see the city maintain its forward vision of providing a fun place, a safe place for the community and then one that obviously one that has economic benefits for the community," he added.
The economic benefits are already beginning to take fold with the creation of an estimated 300 plus jobs during the renovation project and an additional 300 plus permanent position that will be absorbed by Inglewood residents.
Butts was the driving force behind reviving the building as he recalled his personal experiences with the Forum and his goals as a public servant for the city.
"I have decades of relationships with this building," he stated. "I went to my first two concerts here in 1969 one of which was Sly and The family stone. When I became a policeman I worked the basketball games from the floor and hockey games from the floor and when Kareem Abdul Jabbar was under threat I picked him up from his home," he recalled.
Butts said that he was also the venue commander during the Olympics in 1984 when the basketball games were played at the Forum.
He joked that his experience as Santa Monica Police Chief was a work-study program, and that "The music died when nobody wasn't looking."
MSG unveiled a video and photographs of the aggressive new face lift that will revert the façade back to it's original 'California red sunset' colors on the exterior and the interior will be completely modernized with more comfortable seating for 17,505 or converted to a half bowl of 8,000.
The new design will allow the venue to host the largest general admission floors in the country. The Forum will also have seven star caliber dressing rooms, an artist lounge and exceptional acoustics. The historic VIP Forum Club will be restored to its former glory and a newly introduced Chase Lounge will serve select Chase-affiliated patrons and offer premium access to loge seating.
The new aggressive fast moving plans calls for the venue to be a concert and entertainment venues only as MSG plans to capitalize on his vast relationships within the entertainment industry.
City Councilman George Dotson joined the mayor and State Senator Rod Wright in celebrating Inglewood's new day.
"This is a dream of the mayor and the councilman that really came true," said Dotson.
"It took a lot of hard work I must admit from the mayor and the city administrative staff and making this contract real and my hat it off to Madison Square Garden because they are living up to what they promised and this is really going to be a shining star in the city of Inglewood."
"I may have been the leader, but there was a lot of staff and you cant understate the contribution that Bishop Ulmer and Faithful central bible Church made to this city by holding on to that property so that it didn't get bulldozed and made into condominiums. It was the economic furnace to the city at one time and it is now the economic furnace to the city again," said Butts.
Wright was equally elated with the event.
"We are going to take the house that Jack built that we often called it and this will be the new life for it and making it an even greater venue in the city of Inglewood.
In December, historic Hollywood Park racetrack will be closing its doors for good to make way for Hollywood Park Tomorrow, a sprawling housing and retail development.
A month later in January on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, the Forum will be reborn again.

President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of Labor Tom Perez met with civil rights leaders, and state and local elected officials at the White House to discuss how to safeguard every eligible American's right to vote in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on Shelby County vs. Holder.
The Supreme Court's decision invalidating one of the Voting Rights Act's core provisions, upsets decades of well-established practices that help make sure voting is fair, especially in places where voting discrimination has been historically prevalent.
President Obama acknowledged that for nearly 50 years, the Voting Rights Act has helped secure the right to vote for millions of Americans, and expressed deep disappointment about the recent decision. He asked the leaders in the room for their ideas on how to strengthen voting rights, and also encouraged them to continue educating their communities on the Voting Rights Act, and how to exercise voting rights.
We've seen much progress towards guaranteeing every American the right to vote. But, as the Supreme Court recognized, voting discrimination still exists. And while the decision is a setback, it doesn't represent the end of either our efforts to end voting discrimination, or our basic right to vote.
Since the decision, President Obama has called on Congress to pass legislation to ensure every American has equal access to the polls. The Voting Rights Act has been reauthorized repeatedly by wide bipartisan margins in Congress, and signed into law by Republican presidents. In addition, every single American should have an interest in ensuring that every eligible American is able to exercise his or her right to vote. So we remain hopeful that we will find a legislative solution to ensure a fair, and equal voting process.
Yesterday's meeting was another step forward to protect the vote, and we will continue to do everything in our power to secure this most basic right for all Americans.
Yesterday's participants included:
• Barbara Arnwine, President & Executive Director, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
• Napoleon Bracy, Alabama State Representative
• Roslyn Brock, Chairman, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Board of Directors
• John Echohawk, Executive Director, Native American Rights Fund
• Margaret Fung, Executive Director, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
• Wade Henderson, President and CEO, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
• Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.
• Trey Martinez Fischer, Texas State Representative
• Marc Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League
• Mee Moua, President and Executive Director, Asian Americans Advancing Justice
• Janet Murguia, President & CEO, National Council of La Raza
• Laura Murphy, Director, American Civil Liberties Union
• Kasim Reed, Mayor of Atlanta
• Thomas Saenz, President & General Counsel, The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
• Al Sharpton, President & Founder, National Action Network
• Calvin Smyre, Georgia State Representative
• Alan Williams, Florida State Representative

The United Job Creation Council (UJCC) a nonprofit organization held their annual Mentoring Recruitment Day and Youth Hip Hop Festival on July 20 at the City Refuge Church presiding Bishop Noel Jones in Gardena, California. The UJCC showcased their mentoring program called the Teleion Mentoring Program which empowers 'high risk' youth, ages 12 to26 coming out of juvenile camps and prisons.
Los Angeles youth was motivated during the 'Youth Empowerment Discussion' which included guest speakers Pastor Isaac Williams of The Word Experience, Jemeker Thompson former "Queen Pin" and founder of the nonprofit organization 'Second Chance Evangelist Ministries', Giovanni Stephens, Monet Bagneris a graduate from USC's Keck School of Medicine and 2012 Miss Los Angeles County, and Zaneta Smith Teleion Mentor Coordinator and Youth Interactive Panel Facilitator.
CAP I Annexx the Mime and Pastor Isaac Williams performs during the Hour of Power Hip Hop Show.
It was also a day of fun for the youth where entertainers including rappers Lady Shofar, Moses the Prophet, gospel artist Du2ce, Christian dance team "Committed Feet" and music group "Authentic People" performed during the 'Hour of Power Hip Hop Show.'
There was a host of employment partnerships that consisted of the LA Urban League, PVJobs, Southeast-LA Crenshaw Worksource Center and Watts Labor Community Action Committee.
The event's main focus was to inform Los Angeles's youth about the importance of mentoring for young Black men and women through Positive Pathways Program (P3) where transitional aged youth are matched with selected mentors. However, recruitment for the Telieon Mentoring Program was the main attraction throughout the event.
"We wanted to recruit more mentors and youth who are unaware of our Mentoring program," said Jean Franklin, Executive Director of UJCC on their goals for the event. "The goal for this event was to recruit men of color who have a passion to give back to the community."
The program's objective is to provide education, jobs, job training, careers and life skills for juvenile offenders in Los Angeles areas Compton, Watts, Gardena, Inglewood and Hawthorne. In efforts to reconstruct the lives of foster and probation youth, they offer pathway coaches.
"We advocate for them," said Franklin. Indeed, the UJCC Teleion Mentoring Program are advocates for the reduction of gang warfare and incarceration of young Black men. They are active in the community, recruiting kids on the streets of Los Angeles and coming out of juvenile camps. Teleion Mentoring Program is a safe haven for African American youth who are encouraged to persevere beyond their means.
"We are one of the massive movers in the community regarding change, jobs and advocating rights for more jobs," said Rahab Mitchell. "Franklin organized an initiative in the state of Sacramento which now is a law that requires so much percentage of jobs for local hire be given to youth who are in transition."
In 2006, UJCC put together a local hire to inform estranged youth about jobs that were hiring regardless of any criminal background. "Construction is one of the few industries where one's background is not held against them. We are focused on 'high risk' youth and ex-offenders who are consider "hard to place" in the job market."
The UJCC is one of the main resources in the community to provide jobs for youth. They work with an array of industry sectors that appeal to former juvenile offenders. They also have a hand in anti-violence, helping to decrease the violence in the community.
The UJCC is proactive in the church, networking with Pastors who often refer kids to them. They assist with faith based organizations (FBOs) and community based organizations (CBOs). Jean Franklin created 'Anchor of Hope Re-entry Ministry' at the City of Refuge which provides holistic services to ex-offenders.
The United Job Creation Council's ultimate goal is to eliminate recidivism in the community.

When is a lunch more than just a midday meal? When the two diners are President Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and inquiring minds want to know who, if anyone, the president will endorse in 2016.
A summertime meal shared by Obama and his rival-turned-ally threw the political speculation machine into overdrive recently, highlighting how closely both are being watched for signs of their intentions in the next presidential race.
For Clinton, it's a question of whether the former first lady will take the plunge, launching another campaign eight years after she lost to Obama in a hard-fought primary. For Obama, it's about dueling loyalties to two of his closest advisers who would both covet his endorsement: Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden, who is also said to be eyeing the Oval Office.
Such questions set the table for a midday powwow over salad, grilled chicken and pasta jambalaya whipped up by the White House chef and served al fresco on the patio just outside the Oval Office.
Will Clinton tip her hand? Will Obama offer his support? Or will the two dive deep into current events — bloodshed in Egypt, for instance, or a budding new round of Mideast peace talks that eluded Clinton as secretary of state?
In all likelihood, none of the above.
"The purpose of the lunch was chiefly social," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest, calling it a "chance to catch up" and adding that Obama had initiated the invitation. "Secretary Clinton and the president have developed not just a strong working relationship, but also a genuine friendship."
It's not the first time the two have huddled since Clinton stepped down in February after four years as Obama's top diplomat. They saw each other briefly in Dallas at the opening of former President George W. Bush's presidential library in April. And in March, the Clintons shared a private dinner with Obama that wasn't announced publicly until after the fact.
In the meantime, Clinton has kept up a hectic schedule of speeches and public appearances that has provided further fodder to those urging her to run again. A super PAC seeking to create a campaign-in-waiting in case she runs, Ready for Hillary, recently picked up support from some of Obama's most prominent former campaign organizers.
So it's no wonder that each Obama-Clinton rendezvous is closely analyzed, elating some and prompting eye rolls from others who lament that barely six months in to Obama's second term, talk about his replacement is already reaching a fever pitch.
"In Democratic circles, it makes people fantasize and engage in all kinds of speculation, when it fact it may just be a tete-a-tete between the leader of the free world and the most important person in the Democratic Party," said Hank Sheinkopf, a New York-based Democratic strategist who worked on President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election.
So what are the chances that Biden pops in for coffee and desert, a casual reminder that he's still the one with the office closest to Obama's?
"I think the table was set for two," Earnest said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As members of Congress marked the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the Senate majority leader warned Wednesday that civil rights the march helped to protect secure for disenfranchised Americans are "once again under siege."
House and Senate leaders from both parties led the ceremony in the stately Statuary Hall to commemorate the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which helped to pressure Congress to pass the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts. The bills won passage in 1964 and 1965, respectively.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, noted that after the Supreme Court's June decision invalidating a key part of the Voting Rights Act, some states moved quickly to implement voting rules that he considers a threat to the votes of minorities, the elderly, women and others. He singled out Texas.
"Fifty years later, some of the progress made by the civil rights movement, and some of the protections made by the Voting Rights Act, are once again under siege," Reid said. He urged those who value the movement's key victories to "take this assault on freedom as seriously as you've taken anything."
His comments drew enthusiastic applause, including from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who sat onstage alongside Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who as a student activist endured a severe beating in the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" voting rights march in Selma, Ala.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., did not applaud Reid's remarks. Boehner turned to McConnell with a questioning glance during the applause.
Boehner spoke of the march with historical references, from Abraham Lincoln, who as a Republican senator from Illinois sponsored a bill to free District of Columbia slaves, to abolitionist Frederick Douglass, NAACP activist Rosa Parks and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the march and delivered his signature "I Have a Dream" speech from the Lincoln Memorial.
"This is a story of how a president, a slave, a seamstress and a minister locked arms across a period of time. A story that shakes us forward and shakes us free," Boehner said.
McConnell recalled that the march inspired him to organize for change in Kentucky, and that he worked to help his boss, a U.S. senator, overcome opposition in Congress to help pass the Civil Rights Act.
The original march took place on Aug. 28, 1963. Congress observed the 50th anniversary early because it falls during its August recess.
The 1963 march drew approximately 250,000 people to the National Mall. Its purpose was to call attention to economic inequality, but it is most remembered for King's speech.
Lewis, who was a leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in 1963, told Wednesday of his meeting with President John F. Kennedy before the march and of Kennedy expressing wariness that the march might turn violent.
Lewis told the crowd that he sees the March on Washington as one of the nation's finest hours and that it helped usher in a spirit of bipartisanship that moved the country forward.
"What would it take for us to come together and make that kind of progress for America once again?" Lewis asked.
David Cohen, 76, of Washington, was among those at Wednesday's ceremony who attended the march. He said he was employed by a Washington lobbyist who was working on passage of the Civil Rights Act at the time. Banks and congressional offices were closed, the National Guard had been deployed and liquor sales were banned out of fear of violence during the march, Cohen said.
Cohen and his wife hosted several participants in their apartment, to the dismay of his landlord because of the racial mixing, said Cohen, who is white.
Also in the audience were Attorney General Eric Holder and District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray. Grammy award-winning opera singer Jessye Norman roused the crowd with a rendition of "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands."
Civil rights leaders are planning two major events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the march: An Aug. 24 march from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial, and an Aug. 28 march that will stop at the Labor Department and the Justice Department buildings. Other activities are planned around the anniversary as well.
The Capitol ceremony Wednesday came as President Barack Obama toured the country to promote his agenda including jobs and economic growth. Obama met with several leaders on the voting rights issue on Monday and pledged his administration would work to strengthen the Voting Rights Act.

Step 2: Bake a Cake and Mash it Up
I chose strawberry. I thought pink would be cute. Next time I'm sticking with chocolate.
Once your cake is cooled - really cooled - crumble it up into a bowl.
Stir in your jar (or homemade) frosting, a little at a time. Once it reaches a nice consistency that will cling together when you roll it in a ball, you're there.
Stick it in the fridge.

I had a bit of trouble getting the candy coating on, so it's really lumpy, but they taste good and I had fun making them. I can't wait to do them again with a homemade cake and some real decorating! Thanks! :)
This happened to me too at first.
Try keeping them in the freezer right up until you're about to dip them maybe?
And you can double coat them to make them prettier too. But then you get a pretty high chocolate :cake ratio.
Thanks for using instructables!
Thank you!
Does ur chocolate coating melt easily? I want to wrap it and give it to someone but I found my white chocolate melt.
Is it bcos I use e wrong type of chocolate?

If you already have risk factors that raise your risk, such as an elevated cholesterol level, diabetes or having parents or brothers and sisters with heart disease, strokes or other blood-vessel diseases, it is especially important for you to try to prevent high blood pressure.
Sometimes lifestyle changes alone can bring blood pressure down to normal. If your blood pressure is not dangerously high, try lifestyle changes first. If the changes work, you need to continue them. You also need to have your blood pressure measured regularly, to be sure that it remains normal. Learn about lifestyle changes.
If your blood pressure is not well controlled or has resulted in serious symptoms or complications, avoid the following medicines:
To interpret your cholesterol test, your doctor must know your medical history, lifestyle habits and family history. A "safe" cholesterol level varies from person to person, depending upon the person's risk for heart attack and stroke. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor will count this as a sign that you are at increased risk.
Your doctor will consider the severity of your high blood pressure when determining what level of cholesterol is safe for you. If your blood pressure is not well controlled (with or without medicines), you are at greater risk of heart attack and stroke. In this case, your doctor may work with you more aggressively to control your cholesterol.
Heavy alcohol consumption (more than three servings of alcohol daily) is known to cause and worsen high blood pressure and to make blood pressure more resistant to treatment. Alcohol-withdrawal syndrome, common in "binge drinkers," also can result in severe elevations of blood pressure. Heavy alcohol drinking results in a higher frequency of stroke, heart failure and heart-rhythm abnormalities.
Light or moderate alcohol drinking appears to have health benefits for the heart and circulation. When modest drinkers are compared with people who consume no alcohol, the modest drinkers have fewer heart attacks, less heart failure and a longer life expectancy. Although doctors do not fully understand how modest alcohol consumption protects your heart, they suspect that the effect may be related to shifts in cholesterol levels and hormones. Hormones can affect both the tension of blood vessels and the tendency for blood to clot.
How much alcohol is safe (and potentially healthy) to drink? Many doctors are comfortable recommending up to two drinks per day for men and up to one daily drink for women. (Women absorb alcohol more efficiently and have the same effect from a smaller quantity of alcohol.) However, it is important to consider adverse effects of alcohol on other organs of the body. Alcohol is an important cause of liver injury, stomach irritation and dementia when consumed consistently, and alcohol is well known to cause harm during pregnancy. It is important to discuss the amount you drink with your doctor so that your health can be appropriately evaluated. People who have difficulty controlling their alcohol consumption and people with a family tendency towards alcoholism should be especially cautious if they drink any amount of alcohol regularly.
The top number in your blood pressure reading is your systolic blood pressure. This is the pressure that your heart generates each time it contracts. As the doctor or nurse loosens the blood pressure cuff, he or she will hear a rhythmic thumping noise as the blood moves through the artery in short squirts. The cuff pressure when this noise is first heard is the systolic pressure.
The bottom number in blood pressure reading is your diastolic blood pressure. This is the resting pressure between heartbeats. As the doctor or nurse further loosens the blood pressure cuff, he or she will cease to hear any thumping noise when your blood flow becomes smooth. The cuff pressure when this noise disappears is recorded as the diastolic pressure.
Make sure you are measuring your blood pressure the same way each time. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends the following:

ESPNU Announcers Have Serious Trouble In Summit League Title Game
Earlier this week, ESPNU broadcasted the Summit League women's basketball title game between Oakland University and South Dakota State. The game took place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and the announcers were Anne Marie Anderson on play by play and Ros Gold-Onwude on color commentary. Anderson has done a variety of sports for a variety of networks, whereas Gold-Onwude played for the Stanford Cardinal and just finished her career, graduating last year.
I'm pretty sure Stanford is an elite school, so how a recent graduate of the school loses track of which team is playing in the game she is broadcasting is beyond me, but this is one of the more embarrassing botches I've seen from a professional, semi-pro, or even a volunteer announcer. Evidently, the initials SDSU threw off Gold-Onwude because she REPEATEDLY referred to South Dakota State as San Diego State throughout the first half. I saw the tweet directed to us and the article from the Argus Leader and thought it couldn't be real - it was! The game is up in the ESPN3.com archives from Tuesday March 7th, check it out for yourself. I'll let Terry Vandrovec from the Argus Leader in Sioux Falls take it from here...
First, the on-air crew that called the women's championship game on ESPNU repeatedly referred to the host Jackrabbits as "San Diego State." Although both SDSUs have had solid women's programs the past few years, the local squad wears blue and yellow, while the West Coast club is red and black.
The two-woman crew also stated that Oakland University is located in Rochester, Minn., rather than the correct location of Rochester, Mich.
Douple was inundated with calls, and multiple fed-up fans made the mistakes known when walking past the on-air talent at halftime.
"It is totally unacceptable," Douple said. "I'm very, very disappointed. I expressed those concerns to the producer afterward and I'm going to do some more follow-up. In my opinion, I don't think they did the right homework for that game."
Wow. How can that happen more than once???? As an announcer, I can't think of anything more elemental than correctly identifying the teams playing in your broadcast. After watching the game, it looked like the broadcasters were fairly well prepared and had good information about the players... they just didn't know what school was actually playing in the game! Seriously, I would think it wouldn't be that hard to keep in mind that SDSU meant South Dakota State when the game is being played in South Dakota!! How did San Diego State even cross Gold-Onwude's mind multiple times? Not to be outdone, when a graphic appeared on screen showing Oakland's location in Rochester, MI... Anderson read the MI as Minnesota and not Michigan. D'Oh!In the second half, Gold-Onwude thankfully stopped with the San Diego State references, but began using "South Dakota" to describe the Jackrabbits. Again, incorrect. South Dakota State is equally NOT "South Dakota" as it is NOT "San Diego State." Unlike the awkward student newscast earlier this week, these are professionals working for ESPNU and it should be an embarrassment for the leader to have announcers that can't correctly identify which team is playing right in front of them.

Adrien-Luc Sanders – Entangled Publishing
Meet Adrien-Luc Sanders!
Senior Editor at Entangled Publishing!
Adrien-Luc Sanders is the Senior Editor for the Flirt and Ever After lines at Entangled Publishing, and the author of From the Ashes (Entangled, 2012). He occasionally posts useful things on Twitter under the #editortips hashtag, but can more likely be found telling horribly unfunny jokes and exchanging recipes for liquor-based desserts. He loves snow, hates when people call him Adrienne, and thinks 31 is never too old to still chase fireflies.
First question:
Eggnog or Mimosas? Are you old enough to drink?
Eggnog. I hope I'm old enough to drink. Do I look old enough to drink? Wait. Don't answer that. I still get carded all the time. It's so silly half the time I give up and just stay sober. Designated driver's the life of the party, right?
We're also taking pictures with Santa, did you bring a gift for him? (Maybe a new release or a pretty book cover…)
I've got a few copies of our new releases, the first books to launch on our Flirt and Ever After lines, Ros Clarke's All I Want For Christmas and Faye Robertson's Holly's First Noel. They're both sweet, adorable holiday romances, great quick reads, and–hey wait. I thought Santa was supposed to bring me gifts. I'm totally not sitting in his lap. No way.
Please enter. Drinks are served by the elves in the corner.
Last time I took a drink from a short guy with pointy ears, I woke up three states away with my underwear in my back pocket, no memory of the last seventy-two hours, and a goat in the back seat of my car. I think I'll stay over by the refreshment table.
What's your favorite holiday and why?
Chinese New Year. I have a lot of good memories wrapped up in that holiday, plus there's just so much culture and tradition inherent in it, and this subtle sense of hope that comes with bringing in the lunar new year during the early budding days of spring. It's like a breath of fresh air reminding you to refresh and restart. A very noisy breath of fresh air, but still.
That, and I just love the parades, costumes, music, and fireworks. It's all so delightfully gaudy.
Did you ask Santa for anything good?
Hm…a new graphics tablet, Final Fantasy XIII-2, a real release date for Final Fantasy Versus XIII, books, more books, even more books, a stable 1TB laptop hard drive, the new Asus Eee Transformer Prime tablet, an autograph from Diane Duane, maybe a solid night's sleep…
What's your favorite place to spend the holidays?
Anywhere my mother-in-law isn't. You think I'm joking? I'm not.
I don't really travel much for the holidays, but I think the time I had the most fun was when my husband and I spent New Year's in Niagara Falls. It was a total impulse trip and I can't believe we just hopped up and drove over the border just for the hell of it, but we had a great time and I'd love to go back some day. And our tour bus driver made sure we understood the proper way to pronounce "kilometer." Repeatedly.
What is your favorite Christmas memory?
Learning my grandmother's recipe for the holiday stuffing she'd serve with the ham every year. Of course, once I knew what was in it I'd never eat it again, but it was never Christmas if my grandmother wasn't in the kitchen cooking the food that even to this day, permeates my impressions of what makes Christmas. Most of the time the kids were in the way, but sometimes she'd let us hover while she showed us how she made the stuffing, the gumbo, the cornbread that always had that sweet aftertaste we could never figure out until we watched her pour the bourbon in the batter. I think it's impossible for any family to have a holiday gathering without some kind of conflict, but it always just seemed to vanish when my grandmother was in the kitchen working her magic.
Do you have personal resolutions for the New Years? Anything interesting?
Um…finally get ahead on my work schedule? (Stop laughing.) Be a little more consistent eating healthy and exercising? (Seriously, stop laughing.) Really, my only goals for the next year involve working my butt off to build the Flirt and Ever After lines. I'm not sure what Liz slipped into my punch, but she's got me addicted to this company and caught up in all these crazy awesome ideas.
Wait, there is one thing. I'm going to learn to crochet something more complicated than a double chain. Really. I am. What? You've never met a guy who crochets before?
…probably because we suck at it.
What do you do and how did you get into this industry?
Well, like my bio said, I'm the Senior Editor for Entangled's Flirts and Ever Afters, which are two lines of novellas and novelettes that recently launched. I'm really not quite sure how I got into this, honestly. It just happened on its own. I used to be an animator, and then I ended up writing about animation for About.com / The New York times. Writing led to editing, editing led to clients, client success led to more clients…and suddenly years later I ended up working for a few digital publishers before joining Entangled. It just kind of grew on itself. I never meant for my career to turn out this way, but I'm glad it did. It's more satisfying than animation ever was.
What do you love about your job?
Definitely the author's reaction on launch day. I mean, it's fun when we get through galley proofs and they're so relieved and so happy that it's off for those last few touches before releasing into the wild. But something about the way authors light up when they see their book up for sale, when they see the end result of what they've been slaving over for months to polish it into something truly amazing…I love it. It makes me grin like an absolute fool, to see how happy they are.
What type of stories do you love best?
Antiheroes, without a doubt. Any genre, any time period, any heat level, give me antiheroes–male or female, I don't care–and I'm in heaven. I love stories that explore the character development inherent in writing an antihero, especially when it involves themes of redemption or even the danger of further damnation.
That said, though, I'm kind of an omnivore as far as books are concerned, so even though I love antiheroes I could easily say "everything" is a close second. I don't care about a book's label. I just care that it's amazing, and the characters and storyline grip me to the end. Make me fall in love with the characters and the world, make me catch my breath and clutch on to the book the first time our h/h's hands touch, and I'll read a story about anything.
Like fly fishing. Yeah. If you can make me sit through a book about fly fishing, you're a damned good writer.
I'll find a submission about fly fishing in my inbox next week. I know it. I know it, and in that moment I'll regret this.
Who are some of your favorite authors?
Diane Duane, C.S. Friedman, Victor Milan, Lisa Mantchev, Ally Condie, Richard Adams, Brian Green, Joe Hill, C.J. Cherryh, Anne McCaffrey, Julian May, Kelley York, Robin McKinley, Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, Clive Barker, Jane Austen, Guy Gavriel Kay, Byron, Charles de Lint, Shirley Rousseau Murphy, Orson Scott Card…um, tell me when to stop any time now, 'cause I can keep going for days.
What advice would you give aspiring authors?
Read widely. Read everything. Every book has something to teach you, whether you're learning from the author's style and structure or absorbing the information presented on the pages. Some will show you how to do things right. Others will show you how to do things wrong. But they'll still show you the English language in action, and teach you about writing in a way that's as instinctive and natural as breathing. That's not something you can force. When it's forced, it shows.
Read, and then write. Write even when you screw it up. Write when you don't know what you're doing. Write when you do know what you're doing. Write until you hate the words, and keep writing until you love them again. Make a mess. Do stupid things, stumble, fall on your face, and get right the hell back up and keep writing. Close your eyes and just hit the keys. F*** it all up, then go back and do it again, right this time, and keep doing it until you know the inner workings of your craft like an unlit hallway you've walked so many times you can slip through unerringly in the dead of night.
You can take as many classes as you want on plotting, pacing, character development, voice…it's all just pointers, things to mark off on a checklist. It's useful, but it'll never substitute for the ingrained inner knowledge that comes from reading, writing, and taking what you know in your gut to craft a book that will not only make you happy, but sell.
Are you working on anything fun right now?
Right now we've got sub calls out for a Valentine's and Anti-Valentine's collection, and I've been getting a few cool stories that make for a really fun opposition when positioned against each other. There's also our geek sub call, which a lot of people seem really excited about. I'm just about bouncing in anticipation on that one, as I just adore geek-centric stories.
Any big projects for 2011?
~laughs~ I just signed on a few weeks ago, so not quite yet–but I am plotting. Oh yes indeed, I am plotting. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What news would you like to share with your readers?
Keep an eye out on the Entangled Flirt and Ever After lines; we've got more special sub calls coming soon, and I'm looking to sign a few really great titles very soon. Don't shelve that novella; send it to me, and maybe my next big announcement will be your new contract.

Ghost Town
Lahaina's all set for this year's big Halloween celebration, but is there a deeper move to shut it down?
by By Jen Russo
write the author
October 19, 2006
For the last couple weeks vicious rumors have swirled through my
email, saying Halloween in Lahaina was cancelled or was about to be
cancelled. Later I began hearing from people that there were going to
be serious cutbacks and new rules: no sexy costumes, no entertainment
and/or no adults in the big parade.
Naturally, I was skeptical. Halloween has been an institution in
Lahaina for many years. It's the largest Oct. 31 block party in the
state, with 20,000 to 30,000 people in annual attendance. But on Oct.
12 the buzz really got going after
The Maui News
ran a front-page story reporting a "hitch" in Halloween but offering only vague details.
Yet for all the concern and drama created by this news, it looks
like there really is no big threat to Halloween this year. According to
Sergeant Ricky Uedoi of Maui Police Department (MPD), this year's rules
of conduct are exactly the same as last year's.
"Same rules apply," Sergeant Uedoi said. "Nothing perverted, no
alcohol, no weapons, no replica swords. Dancing is fine. People do
their little skits and such and then they move on down the street."
A press release recently sent out by the LahainaTown Action
Committee (LAC)—the Westside merchant group responsible for working
with the County to get event permits—reports that the Keiki Parade
sponsored by the Soroptomists will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Papalaua
Street, with Front Street closing at 3 p.m. Maui Tacos is also
sponsoring the costume contest with a $1000 prize on the main stage
under the Banyan Tree.
So what was this "hitch" mentioned in
The Maui News
According to Sergeant Uedoi, the Lahaina Town Action Committee's new
staff may have been a factor. "The permit process with the Cultural
Resources Commission is complex," he said. "They might have needed to
submit something earlier."
Karee Carlucci, who took over as LAC executive director in January,
had a completely different reason. "Repeated play of video footage from
years past on Akaku caught the eye of a reverend," she said, though she
didn't name the reverend. "And some families believing the video
footage to be what the Halloween event is all about. This caused some
protest to the permits."
And according to Don Couch, Deputy Planning Director at the County's
Department of Planning, there was "concern from Native Hawaiians that
the event is too risque."
All these reasons may have affected LahainaTown Action Committee's
request for permits for the Halloween event. Permits need to be filed
and approved with the Planning Department because the event takes place
in Lahaina's historic district. It's the responsibility of the Maui
County Cultural Resource Commission to review various events and
developments to make sure they observe local cultural significance.
"Departments in the County were questioning why this event was in a
cultural place," said Carlucci. "They were seeing it as a barhopping
event. But the Maui Police Department came out as the event's
Indeed, Sergeant Uedoi actually wrote a letter to the County
supporting the event. "The thing is it [the event] is going to happen
whether LAC gets the permits or not," Uedoi said. "With MPD and LAC
working together we make it safest for everybody. Our main thing is the
safety. There is the assumption that there is always nudity, always
drugs. Those people try to sneak it but they do get arrested."
Despite careful planning for safety by LahainaTown Action Committee
and the Maui Police Department for the past 17 years, the County did
ultimately insist on some changes to Halloween.
"It was nothing specific, but we are asked to avoid a 'Carnivale' or
a 'Mardi Gras' element or atmosphere," Carlucci said. In previous years
the LAC had billed the LahainaTown Halloween celebration as the "Mardi
Gras of the Pacific," but Carlucci said that wouldn't happen this year.
As a result, Carlucci cancelled appearances by the marimba band
Mapenzi, the Brazilian band Banda Dende, a belly dance troupe and has
excluded Samba Maui from the parade. All these artists and musicians
were understandably disappointed, and the whole thing contained a
bitter irony. In the concern over lewd behavior, the County has turned
on these professional performers and artists who suddenly didn't seem
to fit the bill of approved historic district performers for Halloween.
Couch also mentioned a concern over a commemorative T-shirt from a
couple years back. LahainaTown Action Committee generates funds for the
event by designing a collectable T-shirt that sells out every year.
"We listened to the concern," said Couch. "It had a headless
horseman with a Hawaiian physique, with a cape, holding a pineapple for
its head. There are two main aspects of the cultural sensitivity of the
area. There is Lahaina as the old Hawaiian capital, and there is the
whaling history. We want to make sure everyone is sensitive."
This year's official LAC T-shirt features the Bride of Frankenstein and classic movie lore.
Ironically, many of the local church leaders I contacted for this
story said they saw no need to get rid of Lahaina's Halloween
celebration. "I have a personal problem with some of the costumes being
sexist," Waiola Church's Kahu Donald Schmidt said. "But the church uses
the event as a fundraiser. We have a food booth and we sell parking.
Churches that have a problem with Halloween are being petty. They have
no idea what they are talking about."
Pastor Brad Hall of Calvary Chapel agreed. "Halloween accentuates a
lifestyle that I do not condone, but I don't stand in protest against
the event," he said. "Because of its Pagan origin we don't participate,
but for the sake of the kids we offer some alternatives."
The college town of Chico, California stands as a warning for
Lahaina. Through the years they saw their Halloween celebration grow to
include more than 20,000 people, but some residents didn't like it. In
2002 they began an extensive media campaign against the event, buying
print and television advertising that warned young people to stay out
of downtown on Halloween night. The next year, downtown Chico and the
college campus area were a literal ghost town on Halloween.
While it would take new laws to shut down Lahaina on Halloween, an
action like this could devastate the many Lahaina businesses that have
grown to depend on the money that they get from the street festival.
For some restaurants and centers this is one of their highest revenue
generating nights.
"It's one of our biggest nights of the year,"Hard Rock Cafe sales
and marketing manager Natalie Capitano said. "You can't even compare it
to our regular evenings. The event is fun and creative and we don't
have any problems at all."
As expected, the calls to the County Planning Department on
Halloween have initiated a review of the whole event. Next March or
April, the CRC will hold a hearing on it. It's been 10 years since the
Commission took a look at Lahaina's Halloween.
But even if the CRC review comes up with new rules for the event or
asks for a toned-down celebration, it will be nearly impossible to stop
it. "One thing we know, it would be difficult to shut it down," Couch
One key reason is that if the Planning Department does not approve
the usual Halloween permits, the usual 80 police officers that patrol
the event—pulled from all parts of the island—would dwindle down to
just the five that work the Lahaina beat. Five officers for 20 to 30
thousand revelers translates into complete anarchy, the police say,
which they add would be far worse than the alleged lewdness and
inappropriate behavior that spurred the initial complaints. MTW

Board of Education
District 3: Cecily Harsch-Kinnane
A quality education is a fundamental right and is an essential cornerstone of a well functioning society. However, a quality school system must do more than just ensure that every child in the system has their academic needs fulfilled. It must also make sure that every school in the system provides a safe and happy haven for every child enrolled there. It must provide a healthy and productive workplace for every teacher, principal, and staff member employed there. Every parent and grandparent must feel like a welcome partner at the school. Every school should serve as a point of pride for the neighbors and business owners that pass by it each day.
Schools bring people together. They provide students, families, and faculty with a sense of belonging; they provide the community with a sense of ownership. Good, caring, committed schools help our youngsters grow into fine adults. Good, caring, committed schools also help build our communities and in turn help our city be a good place for all. Atlanta Public Schools, under the leadership of Dr. Hall, is making great strides in improving student performance and in ensuring that we have quality facilities and quality leadership in all of our schools. We must, as a system and as a city, continue to take the steps necessary to make certain that all of our students feel connected to their school and challenged by their curriculum, so that all of our students will graduate from high school prepared for their next step in a productive life. Cecily Harsch-Kinnane has been involved in Atlanta Public Schools for nine years. She and her husband, Paul, have three children in APS and she has served as PTA president at Morningside E.S., on the PTA boards at Inman M.S. and Grady H.S., as co-president of the Council of Intown Neighborhoods and Schools and on the principal selection committee at several schools. She has been involved with Habitat for Humanity, served on the City Of Atlanta Elected Officials Compensation Commission and on the board of the Atlanta Youth Soccer Association. Ms. Harsch-Kinnane is a former middle and high school math teacher and has recently been the coordinator of an after school-mentoring program. She is a native of Atlanta and received a BA in Mathematics from Brown University and has done graduate work in Math Education and Educational Psychology at Georgia State University. |

The Wiz Biz: NHL Realignment
2 comments:
These are the same guys that gave us divisions named after dead or dying owners. The same guys that once put Vancouver in the east, with Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in the west. The same guys that settle tie games with hockey's version of the home run derby. What do you expect? If they're going through with this, at least cut the number of division games with each team down to half a dozen or so.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there are Wings fans who enjoy watching us play CBJ and Nash a combined 16 times each year. I can barely push myself to watch those games, as Nashville is easily the most boring team in the entire league. The Southeast teams aren't good rivalries for us at all, but at least we're getting to the East.
I think its funny that the league still managed to give us the most travel possible in the Eastern conference. Even if we've got good time zones now, we still get to fly to Florida 16 times a year.

By FPA member, Richard J. Durso, CFP®, AEP®
Last Updated: December 10, 2012
Imagine this: It is 3:30pm on a hot summer day in a suburban Philadelphia office with a salesperson trying to convince you to purchase an "investment." You have a hundred things on your mind which include preparing for a work meeting, planning a relative's birthday party, figuring out what to have for dinner, and determining your grocery list. You want a "professional" to tell you what to do with your money and to provide proper guidance, but your gut is telling you that something is not right. The salesperson is trying to pressure you to sign an application and submit a check today. You wonder if someone is about to take advantage of you. This situation happened to a friend. Luckily, this friend decided not to fall victim to the pressure and to run the strategies by me, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner.
How do you choose the right advisor with so many different titles? Should you decide between a financial planner, stock broker, wealth manager, insurance agent, or investment advisor? Some advisors may focus on their particular specialty area and not take your complete financial picture into account.
I believe that on-going, holistic financial planning is the best approach. The Certified Financial Planning Board of Standards defines the financial planning process as the following:
- Establishing and identifying the client-planner relationship
- Gathering client data and goals
- Analyzing and evaluating your financial status
- Developing and presenting financial planning recommendations and/or alternatives
- Implementing the financial planning recommendations
- Monitoring the financial planning recommendations
An advisor following these standards will typically develop a financial plan which includes but is not limited to: Savings and investment strategies, retirement planning, risk management, estate planning, tax planning, proper cash reserve establishment, and college planning.
Some questions you may want to consider include:
What are your goals? What are you hoping to accomplish? Why do you need an advisor?
- Do you need to hire a planner for only a few hours of advice about a particular topic such as college planning, retirement planning, insurance planning, or another financial area?
- Do you require ongoing advice or a one-time investment recommendation?
- Are you trying to determine how much life insurance your situation requires?
How to begin?
- Check these websites:
- FPA® (Financial Planning Association®)
- NAPFA (National Association of Personal Financial Advisors)
- Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards
- NAEPC (National Association of Estate Planners & Councils)
How to research and screen?
- Credentials: Does the advisor have the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation? This designation is the gold standard for financial planner professionals who denote ethical duty as well as comprehensive education and training. Does the person have other degrees or designations such as: a Master's degree from an accredited university, Chartered Financial Consultant, or Accredited Estate Planner?
- If you use Registered Investment Advisor, confirm that they have a legal fiduciary duty to put their client's interest first. Then consider going to the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission). Also, request a Form ADV Disclosure Brochure from the Registered Investment Advisor. This will provide you with insight into compensation, services performed, etc.
- If you use a FINRA licensed broker, go to the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulation Authority) Broker Check website to research the advisor to see if there has been and disciplinary actions taken against him or her.
- Experience: How long has the person been in the profession? How do you compare to that advisor's typical client?
- What services are offered and does it match with what you are looking for? Be sure to review agreements that outline the services.
- How will you pay for the service? Will you pay a one-time fee, annual retainer, asset management fees, and/or commissions? You can request a fee schedule. What are the fees for service and what does it include? If you are looking for financial planning, do you pay hourly? Is there an annual retainer? Are there additional charges and fees if your money is invested?
- How does the advisor get paid? There are basically three types of compensation methods. The bottom line is that there are honest advisors who want to truly help their clients and there are dishonest advisors. You should understand how the advisor gets paid.
- A fee-only financial planner works with a Register Investment Advisor (RIA) firm and adheres to the fiduciary standard. This practitioner must act in the best interests of the client and does not make commissions or overrides on product sales. This person has no incentive to recommend one strategy over another on the basis of commission, only on the basis of what is best for the client. Some fee-only planners charge a flat fee for comprehensive planning and investment management while others may bill hourly for planning and investment advice.
- Commission-based brokers, as of July 2012, adhere to a "know your customer" obligation and suitability standard. They must have a reasonable basis to believe that the recommended transaction or investment strategy is suitable for the customer based on the information obtained through the reasonable diligence. "Is this product suitable for you?" This type of advisor may make commissions from selling insurance products, annuities, and mutual funds. Due to the advice given, a broker may sell investment products with higher than average sales charges and management fees.
- Hybrid model practitioners do a bit of each. This person acts as a fiduciary when giving advice and follows the suitability and "know your customer standard" when selling a product. It may be a bit confusing to determine the standard of care being adhered to during the engagement.
What's next?
- Interview the person to meet and discuss your goals in conjunction with the services offered.
- Ask questions such as: How do you get paid for giving me advice? Are you giving this particular advice to me in your capacity as a broker or as an investment advisor? What are your credentials in financial planning? Do you have a fiduciary duty to me when proving advice?
- Pay close attention to their ability to listen to your needs. Do you think you will be a good match?
- Pay attention to the questions they ask of you. You gain a great deal of perspective as to their overall approach.
- Carefully review all service agreements before making a decision.
In the current environment of market volatility, economic and tax uncertainty, the services of a trusted, qualified financial advisor will certainly benefit you. Having a clear idea of how to select such an advisor is your best assurance of enjoying the value of such a relationship while avoiding costly mistakes.

Reinforcing the Investor Case: Conflict Minerals & Revenue Transparency
Calvert has been meeting with SEC Commissioners and staff to reinforce our views on key issues still at stake.
Calvert has played a leadership role in advocating for stronger corporate practices around conflict minerals and revenue transparency through legislation that is part of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. As the complex rulemaking process surrounding Sections 1502 and 1504 of the Act reaches its final stages, Calvert has been meeting with SEC Commissioners and staff to reinforce our views on key issues still at stake. Here's a primer on these two rules, why they are especially important to sustainable and responsible investors and how Calvert has been involved.
Section 1502 focuses on conflict minerals and requires disclosure by companies that use gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten in their products to determine whether such metals originate from particular mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries. Profits from these mines have been used to pay for weapons that have fueled the world's bloodiest conflict since the Second World War. The proposed rules in Section 1502 will allow investors access to material information to evaluate a company's supply chain risk in the region and distinguish companies that are managing this risk responsibly. An early supporter of the legislation, Calvert has remained fully engaged in the SEC rule-making process as part of a multi-stakeholder coalition of investors, human rights NGOs and major multinational corporations including AMD, GE, HP, and Ford among others. Last week as part of this multi-stakeholder group, Calvert met with SEC Chairman Schapiro, Commissioners Walter and Gallagher, as well as staff of Commissioners Parades and Aguilar. Additionally, Calvert brought the investor perspective to an October 2011 SEC roundtable convened to address the complex and controversial issues at stake in the rule. On February 1, Calvert submitted the following letter to the SEC which outlines five issues pertinent to investors.
Section 1504 provides investors with the information necessary to account for material and distinct social, political and regulatory risks relevant to the oil, gas and mining industries. The depletion of natural resources, such as oil, are forcing companies to take on greater risk as they employ new technologies and operate in parts of the world where they never have before. Unfortunately, investors cannot quantify an oil, gas or mining company's exposure to risks related to a particular country or project with current disclosures. This month Calvert met with SEC Commissioners Gallagher and Walter, following up on meetings with Commissioners last year, to reinforce the message sent by a group of investors representing more than $1 trillion in assets under management that strong rules for the implementation of Section 1504 will help investors make better decisions and contribute to stability in the operating environments of oil, gas and mining companies. Calvert outlined the materiality of the disclosures required by the legislation that preceded Section 1504 in a paper released in April 2010.

Hi all,
I have recently set up x3 Getting Things Done offices (one at work, one at my girlfriends house and one at my house) and although it is very early days I already feel that I am almost at the stage of mind like water status!! I believe that in a month or two hopefully this stage will be fully realised!!
I first started at my office by setting up a brief manila folder system based on the GTD workflow map principle (unfortunately I didnt get to fully set up the office until later as the office had asbestos removed from the ceiling!!) : (
Thereafter, at my house I went through EVERY piece of paper and subjected it to the principles of GTD - I can already see a noticeable difference!! (I still have a little bit to get through and thereafter I will be completely free of the paper burden at my house - it already feels good to finally make some headway into the mess though!!
I have also as of Sunday, March 3rd, 2013 set up a GTD manila folder system at my girlfriends house as this allows me to process any papers that pop up at her house also!! : )
And lastly, I have also (as of yesterday) received the official Getting Things Done action files from America for my briefcase. I have set these up in there and processed all paper accordingly - there is now no loose bits of paper floating around in my briefcase - which is a first!! : )
It was good to go for a walk two days ago and not have any 'nagging' issues popping up in my head as they were in a trusted system (my new GTD system)! (I did have a GTD notebook in my pocket and had no need to write down anything as it was already processes!!). It was also a very good feeling to have one of my co-workers ring me up and ask for a certain piece of paper and within 5 minutes they had found it on my desk (this would not have been possible with my previous system of stacks of paper)!! : )
As I said earlier hopefully in another month or two I will be complete with my GTD system and will be current and have a "mind like water"!! I will keep you all updated on my status in another month or so!! : )
Kind regards,
