CED Fellows
Center for Economic Development Fellows are top executives of some of the most influential and innovative organizations in the Pittsburgh region (and Philadelphia) in economic development today. They are key decision makers for local economic, community, and technological investments, and the leaders of some of the institutions that helped make Pittsburgh and Philadelphia models for other cities struggling to redevelop in the aftermath of deindustrialization. Some of them are involved in fostering business startups around new technologies; others are working to open up the scenic beauty and unlock the economic potential of our riverfronts, while still others are working to bring distressed neighborhoods and communities back from the brink.
By agreement with the College, these organizations will be submitting important projects and policy questions that our students will be able to engage through system synthesis capstone projects. Overtime, Fellows will also engage students through Convocations, student Smart Growth Club events, and panel discussions. With the help of our Fellows, the College is opening up new learning opportunities in policy and practice for students interested in economic development.

Ernest E. Hogan is Executive Director for the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group (PCRG), where he relies on more than 24 years of experience as a community development practitioner to advance a neighborhood-driven agenda of economic growth. Originally incorporated in 1988 to provide a coordinated response to the financial institutions' practice of redlining and to be the "on the ground" watchdog for the Community Reinvestment Act, PCRG works for community resources through neighborhood, regional, and banking policy initiatives.
Prior to joining PCRG's staff, Mr. Hogan was a member of the PCRG Board of Directors for almost 20 years. During that time, Mr. Hogan helped devise many innovative programs to target credit to low-income and minority communities. Mr. Hogan's leadership in a six city partnership with Fannie Mae lead to a $600 Million mortgage portfolio purchase by Fannie Mae freeing up bank capital to be reinvested in neighborhoods and resulted in the opening of a local Fannie Mae office. Mr. Hogan also introduced PCRG's "Ain't I A Woman" housing initiative, which targeted loans to African American women, and has worked with community banks and public partners to introduce creative mortgage products in underserved neighborhoods, helping to revitalize many blighted and abandoned properties throughout Allegheny County. Such programs have led financial institutions to reinvest more than $4 billion in Pittsburgh's neighborhoods since PCRG was founded.
An integral part of Pittsburgh's community development system, Mr. Hogan has left an impressive impact on the communities he has served. As staff to the NorthSide Leadership Conference and East Liberty Development, Inc., and as an active board member of Highland Park Community Development Corporation, Mr. Hogan's work has directly fostered key public/private partnerships, resulting in the development of 600 units of housing and 480,000 square feet of commercial/retail space, and the creation of more than 1500 jobs. Utilizing commercial financing, government development programs, tax credits and private grants, Mr. Hogan set the stage for some of Pittsburgh most dramatic neighborhood transformations in the city. In early 2010, Mr. Hogan put his years of community development experience to work in advancing a neighborhood-driven agenda of economic growth for the Pittsburgh region. Through policy creation, advocacy, and education, Mr. Hogan is helping to change the community development system in Pittsburgh.

Arthur P. Ziegler Jr. is President of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF), and a leading American preservationist, urbanist, writer, and activist. He is best known for co-founding the PHLF in 1964 to combat urban renewal policies that devastated Pittsburgh––literally and spiritually. He promotes historic preservation as an effective means to create sustainable affordable housing, healthy neighborhoods, and economic development. Arthur's work has been as much about social justice for disenfranchised populations as it has been about preserving important places.
PHLF's Manchester neighborhood project was the first urban renewal project to create a preservation district within a predominantly African-American neighborhood and the first to be administered by the residents themselves. Emblematic of PHLF's success in using historic preservation as an instrument of economic revitalization, its adaptive re-use of a former rail terminal facility into Station Square had the lowest public cost and highest taxpayer return of any major renewal project in the Pittsburgh region since the 1950s. With over three million visitors annually, Station Square generates over six million dollars annually in tax revenue. Under his leadership, PHLF was instrumental in defeating a massive downtown demolition plan. PHLF then restored several buildings to bring highquality retail back to the area and achieved LEED Gold status. Arthur has also authored five books on historic preservation.
Fellows at Large

Dennis M. Davin was appointed to serve as Secretary of the Department of Community and Economic Development in January 2015 by Governor Tom Wolf. Prior to his appointment, Secretary Davin served for more than a decade as Director of the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development (ACED), where he was responsible for establishing and executing the economic development strategy for Allegheny County. He managed funding from local, state and federal sources to implement economic development activities such as site development, new job creation initiatives, community development, and affordable housing for approximately 1.25 million citizens in 130 municipalities. During this time his department successfully completed a three year planning process when the County Council unanimously adapted "Allegheny Places", the County's first "comprehensive plan" on land use, transportation, housing, economic development, infrastructure, and greenways. Since 2008 has served with distinction as an Executive Fellow of the Center for Economic Development at Heinz College, enabling numerous learning opportunities for students. Prior to being Director of ACED, Dennis was Regional Director of the Governor's Action Team for Southwestern Pennsylvania. In this capacity, he worked directly with company executives interested in relocating or expanding in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Prior to this he worked at the URA, managing Pittsburgh's single and multi-family development, rehabilitation, and mortgage programs for eight years before becoming the URA's Director of Housing. Dennis also played an integral role in developing the Pittsburgh Housing Development Corporation, the City of Pittsburgh's nonprofit residential development arm, while serving as its deputy executive director.

Prior to this position, David served as President and CEO of The Technology Collaborative (TTC), a non-profit, member-driven, technology-based economic development organization focused on starting, attracting, and growing robotics, cyber-security and digital technology companies. Prior to the merger of the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse and Robotics Foundry that created TTC, David served as Vice President of Business Development at the Digital Greenhouse, where he managed all membership and marketing activities. He also developed new programs to address member needs in the areas of technical recruiting and initiatives that were instrumental in attracting the Oki Semiconductor and Saronix design centers to the Pittsburgh region.

Retired Fellows
Our eternal thanks to these Executive Fellows who have moved on from our partner organizations or have retired from the field!
Steve Bland is formerr Chief Executive Officer of Port Authority of Allegheny County. Steve became the CEO of Port Authority in June 2006 and oversaw all aspects of this region's primary transit system, which serves more than 220,000 riders daily across the region. His career of more than 20 years includes service with several other transit systems, including as executive director of the Capital District Transportation Authority in Albany, NY. He has served on numerous local, state and national transit boards, and is a past chairman of the Pennsylvania Public Transportation Association and a past president of the New York Public Transit Association.
As CEO of Port Authority, Steve guided a series of changes aimed at making the Authority more efficient, transparent, accountable and reliable. Some of the changes were based on recommendations of the Pennsylvania Transportation Funding and Reform Commission, which was created by Gov. Ed Rendell. These changes included the Authority's first top-to-bottom restructuring of its routes, implementation of modern fare collection equipment and significant revision of staff levels and benefit packages.
Steve joined the CED as an Executive Fellow in 2010 and quickly became one of our students biggest supporters. Under his leadership Port Authority has sponsored two student projects, one on economic and community impacts of Bus Rapid Transit between Oakland and Downtown and another entitled "Putting Intelligent Transportation to Work", which focused on methods for using newly deployed technologies on PAAC buses to better manage transit. Steve also came out to engage students personally each year: he joined a student led panel on transportation issues, gave a lecture on Port Authority's ongoing financial crisis, and was a welcome presence at the College's Innovation Exchange student poster fair. Steve has since moved on from PAAC, and we mourn this loss, but remain ever grateful to the top notch educational opportunities he afforded our students.
Rob Stephany is the former Executive Director of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the City of Pittsburgh's economic development agency. He has over a decade of community based development experience. While directing East Liberty Development Inc.'s commercial development program, he — along with many others — successfully brought several major national retailers into East Liberty's commercial district, and sparked vitality in the district with numerous smaller restaurants and shops.
As part of a comprehensive development project designed to undo the negative effects of the urban renewal programs of the 1960s, he has spearheaded a neighborhood driven master plan, coordinated 12 developers in the implementation of the plan and facilitated the development of 350+ units of housing and over 200,000 square feet of commercial development. His specific passion is in aligning public, private, non profit, and philanthropic missions to accomplish the revitalization of urban neighborhoods while ensuring existing stakeholders remain key beneficiaries in the change process.
Rob joined the CED as a Fellow in 2009. We are especially grateful to Rob and the URA for sponsoring the first student project under the Center's Executive Fellows program, "Measuring the Economic Impact of Greenspace". Since then Rob and his staff continuously engaged our students with opportunities to learn more about redevelopment in the City of Pittsburgh. Rob recently left the URA to take the position of Program Director for the Community and Economic Development program at the Heinz Endowments. It is extremely gratifying for us to know that Rob is in a great position to identify and deploy strong strategies to build and maintain Pittsburgh's greatest assets: its neighborhoods.
Ellen Kight is the former President of the Pittsburgh Partnership for Neighborhood Development, a key financial intermediary for community development organizations. Ellen oversees the operations of PPND, whose mission is to support the revitalization of the Pittsburgh region's distressed neighborhoods into desirable and diverse communities by raising funds and making strategic investments in community development/improvement organizations.
Prior to coming to PPND, Ellen spent 27 years in State Government, serving under four governors, most recently from 1996-2006, as the Regional Director of the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), which includes nine counties in Southwestern Pennsylvania. From 1979 until 2006, she served as the Regional Director of the Pennsylvania Department of Community Affairs (DCA.) The Regional Office offers technical and financial assistance to municipalities; non-profit, community-based organizations and businesses; encouraging community empowerment, building partnerships and entrepreneurial development. Services provided support affordable housing, revitalization of distressed communities, Main Street and commercial development, community-based organizations, Enterprise Zones, community development corporations, and community planning.
Ellen has been a very welcome presence at Hamburg Hall. She regularly served as a guest lecturer in Urban Policy class, and she and PPND Deputy Director Maureen Hogan were frequent guests at Innovation Exchange and other events. Over and above its partnership with the CED, PPND has also been a great partner to Heinz College via the PPND Fellows program, which enabled a Heinz student to intern with PPND every two years. After over thirty years of service in the field of economic and community development, Ellen recently retired from the role of executive practitioner to the role of world traveler.

Dominant diseases are single gene disorders that occur in the heterozygous state - when an individual possesses one defective copy of the relevant gene but also one normal copy.
Somehow, the defective copy (which is known as a mutant allele or disease allele) is able to overcome the effect of a normal copy.
Most people with dominant diseases are heterozygous because two affected people would have to marry in order to produce homozygous children - children with a double dose of the mutant allele. In rare cases where this happens, the disease symptoms in homozygous people are generally more severe.
Because everyone carrying a dominant mutant allele generally shows the disease symptoms, dominant diseases can be traced through family pedigrees and appear to spread vertically (see figure).
This is completely different to the inheritance patterns seen in recessive diseases , which tend to skip generations. It may be possible to trace a dominant disease through many generations.
One interesting example is variegate porphyria, a disease caused by the loss of one copy of the PPOX gene on chromosome 1 resulting in an inability to synthesise haem (an essential component of haemoglobin). In South Africa, nearly all cases of this disease can be traced back to one person living in the late seventeenth century. This person was the source of the mutation that originally generated the disease allele.
Other examples of dominant diseases include Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.

If you are wanting to use the Twenty Twelve theme in WordPress, but don't want to worry about losing any of your edits to the main theme template whenever WordPress has updates, then you will need to create what is known as a Child Theme.
This tutorial will walk you step-by-step on how to set this up for your blog or website. It can seem complicated if you aren't familiar with this type of function, but by following the steps below you'll be set up in under 10 minutes.
You'll need to start by going into your CPanel with your web host. You then need to open your File Manager and set it to open up your blog's domain. You'll then need to click 'wp-content' followed by 'themes'
Once you've done that you will need to create a new folder and name it whatever you want your child theme to be called. This does not matter. I named mine 'My Twenty Twelve' for this example.
The next step is to create a new file named 'style.css.' Once that is created you will need to open 'style.css' to be edited. You can also do this step directly in WordPress by opening the 'editor' tab under 'Appearance.'
Copy the following code and then paste it into your editor.
Theme Name: Your theme name here
Theme URI: Your blog URL here
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme
Author: Your name here
Author URI: http://example.com/about/
Template: twentytwelve
Version: 0.1.0
@import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
You can edit all of those fields with your own info if you like. Click the save button. Go into your WordPress Dashboard and activate your child theme. Your blog should now look exactly like the Twenty Twelve Parent theme.
The awesome thing about the Child Theme is that you can place any coding you'd like in the 'style.css' folder and it will override whatever the Parent Theme says.
For example you could paste:
.entry-date {
display: none;
into your style.css file under the "@import URL…" line and it will now stop WordPress from showing the date that your posts were published.
You can also create each of the '.php' files such as 'single.php' in your child theme and it will override whatever coding may be found in the parent theme.

Our clinic staff is committed to providing high quality STD/HIV care to you in a non-judgmental and caring manner. We provide education about STDs and HIV and talk with you about ways to reduce risky sexual behavior and promote healthier choices. Many STDs and HIV are not curable, so prevention is the only "medicine." Your health is our concern.
STD/HIV testing is done confidentially. Your privacy is our priority.
STD/ HIV services are by appointment only. You must be at least 14 years of age. Minors (under age 18) do not need parental permission.

Stand Alone Wiring Harness LS Series Engines 4.8 / 5.3 / 5.7 / 6.0 Modification of Factory Harness:
This is sort of the junk yard special budget option. If you get your engine complete with harness, Sho-Me Speed will use it as the starting point for a custom harness for your application. Adding an LS engine to a Hot Rod requires a few simple connections to things like power and ground. With this option, We supply just the basics to make the engine sensors work with the computer but have very little integration to the vehicles electronics. That means things like gauges need to be handled independently. Sho-Me Speed custom stand alone harness's include all of the needed fuses and relays The harnesses are simplified down to separate one wire hook ups for battery power, key on power, fuel pump power, check engine light out put (if requested), and even the cranking or starter circuits. We will even supply any needed sensors and a PCM (new or remanufactured depending on year) that is flashed with the correct software program for your engine and ready to run. We will set up the computer for the transmission, axle and tire size used in the vehicle so that it will shift correctly and will accurately know the vehicle speed. We will also set the computer up so all of the emissions, EVAP, VATS and other unnecessary sensors that are not needed.

I say that violence is not the best choice as someone who served 14 years in the military, but even in the military we prefer deterrence to actual violence. I do recognize that in some cases violence is necessary, but it should truly be the last resort. I know that comparing spanking to war is a huge stretch and I am not saying they are on the same scale.
i do just think that some children are going to be more emotionally fragile than others and something that could crumble that should be avoided.View Thread
I am not opposed to the occasional attention getting swat, but it would be just that - a single small swat to get her attention. I've not done it and hope not to. I am opposed to a 'whooping' - which I define as repeated blows from a hand, belt, paddle, switch, whatever.
IMO a whooping teaches a child that violence is an acceptable way to control someone. It also teaches them to fear the person hitting them. Violence is never the answer to personal problems. a child under the age of about 3 doesn't really understand what they are getting hit for and over that, you can find other ways to teach them something is wrong from taking away toys and privileges to time outs. Yes it may be a little more time consuming or intensive on the part of the parent, but I think long term it reaps better benefits.
Granted plenty of folks were 'whooped' as kids and turned out fine, but there are still many who have gone on to perpetuate the cycle of abuse, whether against their child, significant other or animals. There are also those who bear the emotional scars of their parents' discipline style. There is a woman who posted in the main Parenting Community about how the fact she was whooped by her parents has left her an emotional wreck unable to have a decent relationship with others. There is just no way to know how physical punishment will be received by the child. I could never live with the guilt if my child grew up to be an abuser, animal tormentor or have attachment issues.
DD got into a bunch of DH's modeling paint - which is partly his fault for not locking the office or putting the paint away, but she has repeatedly been told not to go in there or touch his stuff. He let loose and swatted her hard 3 or 4 times. It took several hours before she would be near him without breaking down. He felt horrible about having hit her after seeing the utter fear in her eyes - she was terrified of him because he had hit her. This to me cements that hitting your child is not right. Your child is someone you should be loving and protecting, not making fear you.
Raising children is not easy. It involves give and take by both parent and child and lots of work by both sides to set and enforce boundaries.
Overall taking away privileges and time outs have worked pretty effectively. She is relatively well behaved for her age.
Like I said, I'm not saying that a swat has no place and of course I see nothing wrong with slapping hands or pushing your child away from danger when that's the only choice you have, but the message sent by using frequent whoopings is not a positive one. Do what I say or I will hit you is not something that you can do at any other place in society - then how does it make it right to do something to your child that you cannot do to a coworker or other acquaintance?
and even before the latest 'touchy feely' phase of parenting that some may decry as putting the kids in control, plenty of parents raised their kids without physical discipline. I was born in the mid-70s and not hit and my parents both born in 1950 were not hit and we all turned out fine.View Thread
I was not hit as a child, nor do I believe in hitting my child other than something like slapping her hands or pushing her out of the way when she is trying to do something dangerous and that's the best option to keep her safe.
This isn't the place for that debate, but i honestly don't see how physical punishment is going to get to the root of why this child won't change/use pads. None of us know what sort of education about her body this young lady has had, but clearly there is some underlying reason she does not want to use pads that needs to be addressed.View Thread
Has she said why she doesn't want to wear pads or change them regularly? Have you or the girlfriend (or her doc) sat down with her and calmly had a conversation with her about menstruation and the importance of cleanliness during this time? Make sure this is a two way discussion where she's free to ask questions and be non judgmental.
Maybe something else is to take the cost of the TP out of her allowance if she gets one while providing the pads free to her. Hitting her in her wallet may convince her to change her mind, though she might just turn to something else. you really do need to find out why she isn't interested in pads. She may prefer the TP because it can drop into the toilet without her having to touch it. That might also be why she doesn't want to change her pad. The thought of touching the bloody pad may gross her out. This might need a discussion from a health professional to get her to come to grips with her monthly cycle.View Thread
Some things that may help her wind down and sleep. 1. No electronics in at least the hour leading up to bed time - which at her age should probably be around 10pm. That includes her phone. The one exception would be playing quiet and calm classical music. 2. That hour before bed the lights should be dimmed to signal her body it's getting late and it's time for bed. If you are using solely overhead lighting, look at getting some floor/table lamps and use them after about 8-9pm.
Too often we keep the lights up, the TV, computer. mp3 players and phones on right up until bed time which keeps your brain stimulated. If she is getting home late in the evening and stuck doing homework until late into the night, that will also keep her brain going as the stress ramps up to try to get it done so she can go to bed. as much as she might think it would suck, you may have to have her pare down her after school activities. Being in a ton of activities won't matter on your college application if your grades are bad because you spent more time on the extra-curricular stuff than the curricular stuff. a 3.8 with 2 or 3 solid activities will look better than a 2.5 with a dozen.
Good luck and remember you are the parent and your job is protect her and keep her healthy, even if it means having her do things she does not want to do.View Thread
I wonder if with regards to the poetry if there has been something happen at school. Has one of his classmates been killed or seriously injured or perhaps one of his friends lose a close family member? It is normal for teens to go through a phase when they try to sort out the meaning of mortality.
as for the military (disclaimer: I served 14 years in the Navy), there could be two reasons.
1. He wants to live out his video game fantasy - in which case he could use a good reality check by talking to a member of the service he wants to join and not one from the recruiter's office. No offense to recruiters, but their job is to upsell the military to make their quota. This could give him some real perspective on what it really means to be in the military. I do know the Navy had a program where young sailors could put in to go back to their hometowns and speak at local high schools to let kids interact with real sailor.
2. He could be tiring of school. Boys tend to be more restless than girls and he may be chafing under the structure of academics and not be interested in doing another 4-5 years of sitting in the classroom all day. The military can be a great option for these folks. it gives them a chance to finish maturing and increasing the odds of success in college for those who were ambivalent about it at 18. It also provides college benefits so that when you graduating you won't be saddled under mounds of debt. If you are smart about saving while in the service it is possible to graduate debt free, but even if you aren't it won't be near what it is for the average student.
If he is serious about the military, he should make sure he signs up for a particular specialty. While I was an officer, I saw far too many of my sailors sold the bill of goods about 'you don't have to decide now. Once you get to your ship you can apprentice to whatever rating you want.' That's not entirely true. The military teaches many wonderful trades and those who who serve in a specialty have a step up over folks who joined purely as infantrymen. Of course there is nothing wrong with going infantry and many folks have made careers out of it, but it's not a skill that translates well to civilian life.
Each of the services also has commissioning programs for motivated enlisted that will pay for their schooling so they can go on to be an officer.
Of course it is a very difficult life and there is the risk of death or injury, but there are several jobs in the civilian world that are more dangerous.
as to the 'shooting range', you should try to have an open and non-judgmental discussion about where the interest in guns came from if no one in your family has firearms. This would be a good time possibly looking into getting him into a firearms safety course if he is serious about it. Far too many people out there are injured by guns because they don't know how to safely take care of or operate them. Just because you don't have guns and tell him you disapprove of them doesn't mean that he isn't exposed to them from his friends.
If you don't feel he's being open with you, perhaps you could look to finding a third party counselor to help you communicate effectively with him. just remember not to be too judgmental or dismiss his plans for the future because they aren't yours - that will cause him to clam up.
Good luck.View Thread
Something else to maybe look into is yoga before bed to help relax. There are evening yoga exercises that could help her relax her mind.
also, just have her move her bedtime back 15 minutes at a time from when she normally falls asleep. This should help her gradually shift her bedtime earlier. It's the same thing they recommend for smaller kids when approaching the time change. Trying to drastically shift it can be almost impossible.
Just one other thought, does she perhaps go through a period earlier in the evening when she's tired and then pushes through? Part of the trouble may be that she's overtired given that she's being woken up before her sleep cycle is over.
Sadly many teenagers are wired to fall asleep late in the evening and schools have not done them any favors with scheduling school start times so early. a few years back a study was conducted showing it's best to start the elementary schools first since those kids tend to be early risers and high schools starting around 9am. School districts aren't complying with that, so we as a nation are fighting biology in trying to get our kids to school.View Thread

Video: How to Get Out of 'Google Jail'
If a manual penalty for unnatural backlink practices lands you in 'Google jail,' it's not the end of the world, but you certainly want to take immediate steps to set your website free. Learn how to determine if you're in penalty and the steps you can take to reclaim good SEO health.
Megan Geiss: Hi. I'm Megan Geiss, Marketing Strategy Director here at RKG, and today we're going to talk about manual penalties for bad linking. In other words, how do you get out of the proverbial Google jail?
So, first of all, we start by determining whether or not you're actually under a manual penalty. To do that, you go to your Google Webmaster Tools account and click in the upper left-hand corner on the link for messages. If any message that's listed there feels like it might be about unnatural linking, chances are you're under a manual penalty. Let's double check one more place and under the Manual Actions link, still in Google Webmaster Tools, you know you're under penalty if you find something there.
So now we've got to clean this up, and what do we do? Chances are you have thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of backlinks. We need to gather a list of all of those backlinks and determine the quality of those and rate them.
So once we've done that and we've determined we have maybe 100,000 bad backlinks, what do we do with those? We manually look at each one. I know this sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but it's something that needs to be done. Are they spammy? Are they link farms? Are they even relevant to your site? If the answer to those are yes, yes, and no, then we would put those in the bad backlink column.
Once we determine that list of overall bad backlinks that we want to get rid of, the next step is actually doing some outreach. You have to reach out to the webmasters for each one of those sites and ask them to remove the link. Now, a lot of times, most of the time, you're not going to get a response. But you may get a response of, "Okay, we'll remove that link," and you may get a response of, "Yeah, we'll remove it, but you can pay us for it." Between those three responses we gather all that data, and we actually have a second round of outreach, because chances are most of the webmasters did not respond.
We do the outreach a second time, we wait for a response, and again we gather all of the data, and we take that data, put together our final list of bad links, and we upload those to the Google Webmaster Tools Disavow Tool. Once we've done all of that work and documented everything we've done, we actually reach out to Google with a reconsideration request that outlines all of the work that's been done, who has responded, who hasn't, and perhaps even examples of what some of the responses have been. Once Google takes a look at that and takes a look at your current backlink profile to determine the quality of it, you'll get a response from Google letting you know whether or not that's been accepted or not.
Hopefully, if you've followed this process and been diligent about getting rid of the bad backlinks, you're getting your get-out-of-jail-free card from Google. Was it free? No. Was it easy? Absolutely not, but you're on your way to backlink health and hopefully a better experience for SEO.
Thanks for listening. I'm Megan Geiss. Tune in next time to the RKG blog.

Cavaliers Could Help Nets Land Josh Smith
The latest trade news around the NBA involves none other than the Brooklyn Nets. League sources have said for days that San Antonio, Brooklyn and Charlotte all have strong interest in the Atlanta Hawks Josh Smith. It is highly unlikely at this point that a two-team trade with the Nets would work for Smith since Atlanta will not just give him away.
The latest scenario could involve the Cleveland Cavaliers entering into the mix.
Perhaps no name is spinning on the rumor mill more than that of Josh Smith of Atlanta. Everyone from San Antonio to Brooklyn to Charlotte supposedly has a strong interest. Smith is one of six expiring contracts on the Hawks' roster, and when you consider the power forward's overall talent (17.1 ppg, 8.6 rpg), landing Smith would be like hitting the lottery's daily double.
The Nets would really like to move forward Kris Humphries, who has struggled mightily in the season after landing a new deal (two years at a reported $24 million). It is believed the Nets would like to get a third team involved, making a deal involving Smith and Humphries easier.
Grant and Hawks GM Danny Ferry are tight (Grant was Ferry's assistant when Ferry was GM in Cleveland), as are Ferry and Nets GM Billy King. That has led to speculation the Cavs could become that third team in a Hawks-Nets deal. Grant also supposedly spent some time on the phone with King last week.
The Cavs are seeking (more) draft picks. In order to land one, they'll supposedly take on a player whose contract expires at the end of next season (such as Humphries).

when i group my food together i write down how many calories are in the grouping, to make it easier to plan my food allowance for the day, for example i might write: eggs and toast 356, or spaghetti and meatballs 700, or chicken dinner 500.
I like to use my nutriton tracker at dinnertime to plan my meal so that I make sure I stay within all my limits.
Use the nutrition tracker - even on days that you go over. The nutrition tracker has helped keep me motivated, and helps with meal planning. Each night, I prepare my foods for work the next day and go ahead and enter them into the tracker. I can then plan a healthy dinner based on the totals.
I find that I do best when I have fewer choices; too many choices can be overwhelming. So I made a list of some basic healthy foods that I like and a few meal plans for each meal. I made this Groups in my nutrition tracker and now I can rotate among these basic plans. I can change any of the elements in any of the meals if I want to, but I know I have some healthy meals I can count on

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has condemned the abduction of three Israeli teens in his first public comments since they went missing in the West Bank four days ago.
Israel has alleged the abductions were carried out by the Islamic militant group Hamas, but has also held Abbas and his self-rule government in the West Bank responsible for the fate of the three Jewish seminary students.
Earlier this month, Abbas formed a unity government that has the backing of Hamas.
In a statement Monday, his office condemned both the kidnappings and the subsequent Israeli crackdown.
The statement says "the Palestinian leadership condemns the series of events … beginning with the kidnapping of the three Israeli teens and ending with a series of Israeli violations."
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Israeli troops on Monday rounded up dozens more Hamas activists, including senior figures, as part of a feverish search for three missing Israeli teenagers who Israel says were kidnapped by the Islamic militant group in the West Bank.
Israeli officials have vowed to crack down on Hamas and media said the government is considering possible deportations of Hamas leaders from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip.
The three teens were abducted late Thursday, while hitchhiking in the West Bank.
Since then, the military has conducted a massive search and arrested more than 150 Palestinians, including 10 Hamas legislators.
Among those rounded up early Monday was Abdel Aziz Dweik, speaker of the long-defunct Palestinian parliament and a senior Hamas figure.
In the northern West Bank, meanwhile, a 20-year-old Palestinian was killed by army fire in a clash between Palestinian stone throwers and Israeli soldiers in the West Bank refugee camp of Jalazoun, said Palestinian hospital official Samir Saliba.
Israel says the three teenagers were kidnapped by Hamas. The incident has escalated already heightened tensions between Israel and the new Palestinian government, headed by Western-supported President Mahmoud Abbas and backed by Hamas.
Israel, which considers Hamas a terrorist group, has condemned the alliance and said it holds Abbas responsible for the teens' safety.
Hamas has praised the kidnappings, but has stopped short of claiming responsibility. Abbas aides have said the Palestinian Authority cannot be held responsible because Israel retains full control over the West Bank, despite limited Palestinian self-rule.
Israel's Justice Ministry said it held a meeting Sunday to examine a number of possible punitive steps against Hamas. The Justice Ministry would not elaborate on the actions being considered.
Israeli media reported that the government was considering deporting Hamas figures from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip, demolishing homes of Hamas members and taking sanctions against Hamas prisoners in Israeli jails.
Israeli intelligence minister Yuval Steinitz told Israeli Channel 10 on Monday that Israel would punish both Hamas and Abbas' Palestinian Authority government.
"If we don't exact a harsh price, we encourage these things. A harsh price has an effect of deterrence," said Steinitz, referring to the suspected kidnapping.
The three youths, Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, disappeared Thursday night as they were heading home from a West Bank religious school. Frenkel also holds American citizenship.
The case has riveted the nation's attention, receiving around-the-clock coverage in local media.
Also on Monday, Israel's military said it carried out airstrikes on five weapons and militant sites in Gaza, following overnight rocket fire from the coastal strip into Israel. Two rockets were intercepted and a third fell in an open area in Israel, causing no injuries, the military said.
On the Gaza side, four Palestinians were lightly hurt, including a toddler, said Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra.
Associated Press writer Nasser Shiyoukhi contributed to this story from Hebron, West Bank.

Sometimes you're just craving Dunkin' Donuts: maybe you walk past a Dunkin' and the siren scent of hot sugar lures you inside, or perhaps you're having a bad morning and you know that the best cure for you will be to pop inside America's sweetheart of an all-day breakfast chain.
The 8 Unhealthiest Dunkin' Donuts Hot Drinks (Slideshow)
The array of gooey treats covered in colorful, seasonally-shaped sprinkles, drizzled with caramel and chocolate, stuffed with rich custard, and rolled in fluffy coconut are enough to entice even the most austere eaters from time to time. But if you're watching your weight, you could reasonably think you're doing your body a favor if you "just" go ahead and treat yourself to a little hot mocha instead of getting yourself a cruller.
And that depends on the kind of coffee you tend to order: are you going for a regular black cup of joe, or are you indulging in one of the many sweeter offerings on the drink menu? Here's a hint: if the phrase "Brown Sugar" or something like it is in the title, you could actually be better off with the doughnut, given the amount of sugar, calories, and fat content that gets jammed into those Dunkin' Donuts cups.
It doesn't seem fair, does it? When you buy a doughnut, you know you're getting yourself a little sweet treat — a doughnut is just a bunch of fried, frosted dough on top, after all.
It's basically synonymous with the notion of "an indulgence," and while it's kind of amazing that glorified cakes could make their way as even an occasional breakfast item, doughnut consumption is generally not an everyday kind of occurrence. But a cup of coffee, even a sugary sweet one, is considered a standard morning pick-me-up. Our ranked list of the unhealthiest drinks available at Dunkin' might have you changing your mind.

Miley Cyrus' " Party In the USA" Celebrates Bin Laden's Death
Recently, everybody in North America got the news that the United State's enemy, Bin Laden, the leader of OSAMA, is now dead.
If you could choose a song for Bin Laden's death, what would it be? Would it be country or punk? Or even pop or rock? When you think about Bin Laden's death what song would pop in your mind? Former Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus' hit song, Party in the USA song of course! If Bin Laden was alive right now, he would probably would be blocking his ears since he hates America so much.
"Part in the USA" is now the funeral song for Bin Laden. Have a nice funeral, Bin Laden…… NOT! Everyone played this song in honor of hating Bin Laden for his attempts at destroying America. This is probably now the most played Miley Cyrus song since two or one day ago.
Are Britney Spears and Selena Gomez Doing A Duet Or Not?
May 4, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment
Remember when everybody was posting that "Till the World Ends" singer, Britney Spears would be dueting with Disney star, Selena Gomez?
Well, Selena's producer, Kevin Rudolf is now denying that is even true. Kevin didn't even know anything about it in the first place. At least that is what he said in a MTV interview. "It is not just I didn't know about this, it's because I never heard anything about this Britney Spears and Selena Gomez collaborating.". Kevin is still doing stuff for Selena's next album, but it has nothing to do with Britney Spears being in it. He also says that he will be doing pop more on the album.
Even though Gomez and Spears aren't going to make a song together, Selena still loves Britney as a pop star. And Selena will still be singing some songs like "Toxic", the hit song that Britney Spears wrote on tour this summer.

Big Freedia - The Constellation Room - July 24, 2013
Question: In the history of this blog, how many writers can say they got the headlining act to leave the venue, walk into the parking lot and get into a 1960 Ford Starliner on Cragars to take photographs?
Hope Lee
Answer: One. Me.
The event in question happened with Big Freedia last night at The Constellation Room.
All week my friend Gabe had been telling me how he wanted Big Freedia (aka the Queen Diva, the Dick Eater, the Late Night Creeper -- ya besta buhleeva!) to take pictures in his car. I told him it wasn't happening. He showed up in the afternoon and was denied. At this point, I figured he'd drop it. He didn't.

The Condemned
Post your comments on
this article
It's not great but it's a reasonable action pic
The film took a bit of a hammering and whilst some of it is overly brutal, it does posess a few good moments with Vinnie Jones hamming it up and Stone Cold Steve Austin playing a cool, kick-ass soldier turned prisoner. However, one bit that is often overlooked is the message that it's being sickly broadcasted because people would still pay to watch it. Are we that far away from that at the moment? I'm not sure!!!!!!!!
The new Arnie is here...
It turns out The Rock isn't the new Arnie after all, it was Stone Cold Steve Austin all along! Well worth a watch - good action with heavy shades of Battle Royale cut with the Running Man...The message is rather heavily hammered home, but that shouldn't ruin the enjoyment of a decent throwaway movie.
RE: The new Arnie is here...
The Condemned (2007)
Well what have we here, an early 'Expendables' type fighter? a 'Battle Royale' copy? or maybe just a 'Running Man' type thriller? well all this and many more films gone before.
The plot...a group of the most violent criminals are hand picked and dumped on a remote island. Each has a small bomb attached to their ankle which will detonate after a certain time limit. They have nothing but their skills to survive and the odd package dropped from a chopper. Only one can be left standing before the time runs out and that last man wins his freedom, FIGHT!!!.
So yes I think we have all seen this before, the general idea, and one can assume it will pretty much be like all the rest. It is a bit like a cheaper, low key, grittier 'Expendables' but with guys that aren't overly famous but a good selection of character hardmen and fighters of you will. Vinnie Jones, Nathan Jones and Austin are the bigger names here whilst other criminals are made up of really well built blokes and some good fighters like Masa Yamaguchi. Of course the plot isn't like the Sly vehicle but it is a nice ensemble of hardasses.
The whole film plays out like one setup after another, one fight, a bit of plot, then another fight etc...The fights vary from pretty cool to nothing much but its all very violent and bloody, not for the PG crowd that's for sure. All the characters have your standard backgrounds, the hero Austin is of course ex-Delta Force whilst Vinnie is ex-SAS gone bad, bog standard military guff really. All the while its watched by the internet crew and their boss who set it all up for profit and morbid kicks...tut tut so naughty.
It does work well really, can't lie, its good fun to watch but obviously stupid. Would they really include women? surely that would be rather unfair. The violence in some parts is quite close to bone really, Vinnie and his partner rape a women to death then find her husband (also a criminal) and burn him to death after beating him half to death!! so yeah bit sick.
You could say its even like 'Call of Duty' or any FPS, but with bloody murder and fights instead of gun runnin'. When the odd help package is dropped into the 'game' it does feel like a videogame of sorts.
Its certainly balls to the wall with guts n headbutts and the perfect action vehicle. Nothing original and no real surprises other than Vinnie being really quite evil, but its undeniably fun despite Austin being a plank and the ending being a big anti climax for the two main guys.

You may not know the answer to the question what is a mortgage insurance premium? Red Blue Realty notes that many of our clients are unaware of both the purpose and value of a mortgage insurance premium and what it means. We know that most people consider insurance as something that benefits them directly, if there should be an accident, emergency, or some type of loss. But the Mortgage Insurance Premium or MIP protects the lender rather than the borrower – it serves as a financial guarantee for a lender instead, even though it is the borrower who pays for it. The MIP basically exists to help the lender with loss reduction if there is a default by a borrower. Naturally, we understand that many of our clients don't see the program's value, but the truth is that having this premium in place may actually allow you to qualify for a mortgage.
We want to note that while the FHA serves as the insurer for lenders who service FHA loans, private mortgage insurance (PMI) is also offered for borrowers with loans not funded by the FHA, and it also is charged on thirty year fixed rate loans.
You may be asking if this insurance is required, and the answer is yes, it is, at least in regard to most loans. Every FHA loan charges this up-front insurance premium. And what does it cost? The amount varies by the market interest rate and also by the length of the loan period you undertake. Some private adjustable rate mortgage loans don't require the mortgage insurance premium, but may not be the loan for you anyway.
The next question we hear is this — why is the insurance even necessary? The answer is all about borrower risk. Mortgage lenders want to eliminate as much risk as possible in regard to approving your loan. They want coverage in the event of a disaster the same way you would – but for a lender the disaster is a borrower defaulting on the loan and the subsequent foreclosure of a property. The cost of foreclosure and the possible loss by selling a home at auction following a foreclosure means that lenders want a safety net of some kind. So, what is a mortgage insurance premium? It serves as the lender's safety net.
The FHA created a loan program that provides this net. It allows you, the borrower, to pay for this risk to the lender through monthly insurance premiums. It doesn't sound like much of a benefit to you, but the fact is that without this insurance many lenders wouldn't accept the risk of lending without a substantial down payment. The mortgage insurance premium serves its purpose for lenders, but with it in place, you can receive the benefit of loan acceptance. In other words, without the MIP, you would certainly find it more difficult to purchase a property without a large down payment, and find it harder to use home equity or borrow for home improvements.
So, while you may not see the benefit of mortgage insurance immediately, it truly is a necessity for borrowers as well as being a lender requirement.
Naturally, whether you see the mutual benefit of mortgage insurance immediately or not, you might still wonder if you can ever stop paying for it. There are two ways for you to do so:
- first, you can refinance without mortgage insurance
- second, you can automatically terminate the insurance program when a set amount of equity has been established.
In regard to the first option, you can do this by converting a thirty-year FHA conventional loan to an equity building fifteen-year loan. Note that the exact timing of the automatic termination is a little unclear, as it doesn't look at appreciated value in your home, and depends on the type of uninsured loans available and the borrowers cost to obtain them.
So the ultimate answer to what is a mortgage insurance premium is that it's a program that assists both lenders and you, the borrower, in securing their home.

This amp does a solidly good job. I am still dialing it in but can see that it is a nice unit that will present limited issues. I do not know how much better it can be in such a small package so I will say this is a 9.9 out of a 10.

Comments about AER Compact 60 60W 1x8 Acoustic Guitar Combo Amp:
I've been playing for 45 years. Been seriously doing acoustic playing for last 25 years. I play mainly fingerstyle. Bought this amp because it's the amp Tommy Emmanuel uses and an overwhelming number of high level players who use it. Thought I could buy without trying first.
My first impression: very boxy, focused middy tone. This is an amp that has a limited dynamic range: i.e. straightforward amplification, no processed sound shaping to this amp. You have to shape your sound before you get it into this little amp. This is fine, but with my present Ultrasound DI Plus acoustic preamp fed by my K&K Mini and JJB 330 pickups, I was not able to dial in the tone I wanted. I currently use a Fender Acoustasonic SFX, the "Beast". It produces the sound I want but is too heavy to lug around (65#).
I returned the amp for a refund after struggling with it for a couple of days. I so wish that this would have been the ticket for me. I don't want to take anything away from AER - they make quality equipment used by many a pro. I am considering a Schertler Jam 150. Would love to find one to play through.
The AER Compact 60 is a great little amp. Portable, compact, easy presentation, small footprint. I would recommend trying one out before you buy, if you can find a place that stocks them.
I recommend this product with reservations.

Comments about AER Compact 60 60W 1x8 Acoustic Guitar Combo Amp:
I play an electric violin through this amp, and am very pleased. Clear sound, no noise, plenty of headroom for playing live gigs - no problem keeping up with the drummer & electric guitar player.
This amp favors the low end, so I set the tone controls (channel 1) with the bass at about 9:00, the mid at about 10:00 and the treble at about 2:00. Not a totally even sound, but very smooth, no hot spots, no screechy/tinny treble sound (violinists, you know what I mean).
Probably my number 1 requirement besides sound is portability, and this amp is THE BEST for that - very light weight, very small (looks good, too).
I've also used the 2nd channel simultaneously for voice (I do a unison scat thing with the violin) and it sounded really good, although I haven't really put the amp through its paces as a purely vocal amp.
Onboard effects are fine & tasty - nothing earth-shattering but way good enough for most uses. Delay is limited - you can't set the length of the delay, and for violin I think the delay is a bit too long. Also the sound is fairly directional, so how you position the amp is critical. I use a small "kick-back" stand that holds the amp a couple feet off the ground and aims up a bit. That way I can hear myself clearly. The rest of the band members seem to hear me just fine as well with no monitors, and the amp is plenty powerful for small venues with no need for a PA.
Overall a really, really good amp - avoids the problems of all the other guitar amps I've tried over the years (noise, screechy treble sound, unevenness of sound across the octaves, etc.). My #2 pick was the Acoustic Image Corus 2-channel. What made me decide on the AER was price (40% less), weight (30% lighter), speaker configuration (Acoustic Image has a down-firing woofer...???) and "right-sizing" (the Acoustic Image is 600 watts - I could start war with that much power). That said, I did not have the opportunity to try either amp before purchasing.

Kal Ho Naa Ho
I am soo glad I found Kal Ho Naa Ho. And Shahrukh Khan, if you ever read this, I love you. You almost lost me for a minute there...you did a couple things in the first half of this movie that made me second guess my feelings...but by the intermission you won me over (once again), and now I am forever yours!
As for the movie? I didn't think I was going to like it. It seemed like just another love story (I practically live for love stories, especially ones starring Shahrukh Khan, but I wasn't completely sold on him at the time I bought Kal Ho Naa Ho).
As soon as the first song came on, "Pretty Woman", I had a sinking feeling that I had made a mistake purchasing this film(I know Bollywood can be a bit nutty at times, but please, WHO thought it would be a good idea to have Shahrukh Khan pretend to rap?).
Who would have thought I would fall head over heels in love with this movie, showing it to all my Bollywood-watching friends(who all loved it just as much, I might add)?
Like I said, I had already seen a few Shahrukh Khan films and knew the over-the-top romantic he could be, but wasn't a fan of that yet...so for the story to be woven in such a way where his character wanted to love but couldn't really had me longing for him to go into the romantic persona I knew he was capable of, at least for Naina's sake. Take for instance the scene where Aman(SRK) reads from Rohit's diary to Naina, even though there are no words written on the pages. Brilliant!
Kal Ho Naa Ho is heartbreaking, hilarious, romantic and just plain fun...The chemistry between the three lead actors, most of the songs, and the storyline had me laughing and crying, sometimes all at once.
This was my first experience with Saif Ali Khan. I found myself falling for him when Naina did, thinking if I couldn't see her with Aman, I was happy she had found a guy like Saif's Rohit...So sweet and funny, just a lovable character...
The friendship between Aman and Rohit was just as beautiful as the love Aman felt for Naina from afar...and the Kantaben jokes were really funny! All in all, the three of them worked so well together...They even made a song called "It's a Time To Disco" look semi-cool(Who thinks of the English names? Just wondering...)
Speaking of songs, I love all of them except for "Pretty Woman"(which I've softened to over time)...And I could just kiss Karan Johar for giving Rani and Kajol cameos in "Maahi Ve"(But I won't, Shahrukh, I won't)...
