Feb 16, 2011 - FINAL GAME AT IV GYM
Bittersweet finish
Warrior girls blitz Clearfield in final outing
February 17, 2011 - By DREW PELLMAN, Sentinel sports reporter, email@example.com |
HIGHLAND PARK - The sun has set on Indian Valley basketball. With the boys team finishing up its home season on Monday, the girls took center stage for the final time on Wednesday to close out their portion of the Warrior history books.
Coach Roger Herto admitted that he only made it halfway through his postgame speech before having to stop and regroup. With all the sadness and the many memories that will be left behind, the Warriors did their part to put some smiles in the old gym one more time. A quick start was too much for the Bison to overcome and Indian Valley ran away with a 64-38 victory over visiting Clearfield.
Indian Valley (10-12) had 17 players in uniform for the game. By the end of the night, each one of them participated and 11 of them got into the scoring column.
"When we got knocked out of the playoffs, I knew in my mind right away what I wanted to do with this game," Herto said. "No matter what, I wanted to make sure that every kid got in because, like I said, they're pretty much all seniors now.
"Some of these kids who may have ended up being varsity basketball players here, that may not happen for them at the new school and that's just a fact of life. So I wanted to make sure that every kid could say that they played in the last varsity game here at Indian Valley."
It was also the final Senior Night at Indian Valley as Herto and the Warrior fans honored their final basketball graduates, Dani Treaster and Priscilla Weaver.
"Priscilla and Dani - just very indicative of the type of kid that I like," Herto said. "Not always the prettiest looking player, but they're going to fight until the very end for 32 minutes. They were great leaders this year and really excelled. Both of them ended up playing their best basketball for us at the end, which as a coach you want to see. They did a great job of leading both on the court and off the court."
As far as the merger goes for Mifflin County girls basketball, the veteran coach is taking the positive approach.
"Twenty-four years ago I did this same thing at Kish," he said. "I can't believe that it was 24 years ago that we had a night just like this at Kish. We were playing Chief Logan and we were talking about the future and that future has been a great 24 years here. I think the same thing is going to happen again - we're going to have a great future with the new school because we have great kids in this building and Lewistown has great kids in their building."
Weaver and Sammie Chestnut dominated the paint to open the game with each scoring four points. Allie Sutton dialed long distance and Breanne Cline also hit a bucket for the Warriors, who led 13-7 after the first period of play.
Chestnut went off for eight more in the second stanza and got some help from Whitney Corbin, who connected for five points before the break. The Bison were held to just six in the frame by the Indian Valley defense as the home team took a commanding 31-13 lead into the locker room.
Clearfield had its best run of the night in the third quarter as it scored 18 points - nine of which came from junior Rachel Thompson. The visitors were unable to cut into their deficit, however, as Treaster scored seven points in the period to help the Warriors keep their 18-point margin at 49-31 with just one more quarter to play.
Much like the first half, Indian Valley buckled down on the defensive end in the fourth to hold Clearfield to just seven, while Chesnut, Corbin and Weaver stayed hot to finish out the contest.
Chestnut finished with 18 points to lead the way while Corbin added 13 and Weaver tallied 11 for the Warriors. Thompson was the only player in double figures for the Bison with 11. Indian Valley also won the junior varsity contest by a 39-30 count.
"Sports have always been a rallying point for this community," Herto said. "Sometimes it has been the rivalry, but now the neat thing is that we're all going to be in this together. I just think the benefits of that - what a team can do together - can help the community. Sports are a small part of it, but for our community, sports have been a very big part of things. Girls basketball in Mifflin County has been good and it will continue to be good."
Jan 29, 2011 - IV Back at .500
Warriors end drought
Offense is trouble for Juniata
January 29, 2011 - DREW PELLMAN, Sentinel sports reporter, email@example.com
Save |
MIFFLINTOWN - Earlier this season, the Indian Valley girls basketball team got its first victory of the season by holding Juniata to 31 points.
Friday night, it was more of the same. The Indians registered only one more point in the comfy confines of their own gym. The Warriors took control of the contest in the third quarter and never looked back, as they sent a four-game skid to the curb with a 41-32 Nittany Division victory.
"I always try to tell the kids that the season is a marathon and no one game makes or breaks a season, but we did lay it on the line tonight," Indian Valley coach Roger Herto said. "This was a must-win tonight for us. I can think of three or four times in 25 years that I have told varsity teams that, but we had to have this."
And as the old cliche goes, a win is a win.
"It wasn't a work of art, but I think mentally for our kids - we were coming off four losses - so just getting a win back was important confidence wise," Herto said. "I've got to commend Allie Sutton and Brooke Seler, who gave me about six or seven minutes when we had two bigs out with foul trouble. They did a great job for me defensively and running our offensive sets."
Juniata, despite having a solid first half, once again fell victim to not keeping up on the offensive end of the floor.
"I'm really proud of these kids. They played hard and I thought we executed some things better than we have all season - especially in the first half," Indians coach Meghan Geedey said. "When you struggle in your half-court sets, you have to get to the foul line and we haven't done that in some of our games lately. We did tonight. It's just a work in progress offensively."
Juniata scored four of the first five points of the game before Whitney Corbin took over the first quarter for the Warriors. She knocked down three field goals in addition to a free throw to give the visitors a slim 8-6 lead after one period.
It was two other starters who handled the scoring in the second - Sammie Chesnut inside and Dani Treaster around the perimeter. The pairing combined for 11 points in the frame, while Juniata's free throw shooting kept the Indians in the game. In all, they connected on eight of 10 shots at the line before halftime, but Indian Valley still held a 23-18 edge as the teams hit the locker room for the break.
The third quarter was the one that put the game out of Juniata's reach, as Indian Valley opened up its largest lead of 11 before settling for a 10-point margin with eight minutes still to play.
In the fourth, Corbin provided what Geedey called "the daggers" when she knocked down a pair of triples to salt the game away.
Juniata started two freshman - Carly Burns and Maddie Zendt - in addition to the host of youngsters that game off its bench.
"When I look at the practice floor, I always think that I have all these kids back next year," Geedey said. "And it's exciting to see them grow."
Herto once again had kind words to say about Geedey's program, just as he had after his home opener.
"A sign of a good coach, I think, is when your season is not going well, your kids keep playing hard," he said. "I know they haven't won in the league yet, but every other coach I've talked to has said that you're going to have to work (to beat them). That's a credit to coach Geedey that her kids are continuing to play - she's doing a real nice job with them and I know they're going to get one here."
Corbin had a game-high 17 points for the Warriors, while Treaster and Chesnut each entered double figures with 10 apiece. Four players with six points each topped the charts for the Indians - Alyssa Graybill, Riley Zimmerman, Burns and Zendt.
In JV action, Juniata secured a 35-23 victory over the Warriors.
Indian Valley (8-8) travels to Bald Eagle Area on Tuesday while the Indians (1-13) take part in Lewistown's Coaches vs. Cancer event this afternoon against Selinsgrove.
Jan 16, 2011 - IV Girls Too Much for the Mounties
Warriors win third straight
January 17, 2011 - By Kenny Varner, Sentinel correspondentSave |
HIGHLAND PARK - The Indian Valley girls basketball team made it three straight wins Saturday night. The Warriors (7-4) defeated a feisty Philipsburg-Osceola team that battled down to the final minutes before falling, 45-38 at the Indian Valley gym.
Leading the way offensively for the Warriors was Sammie Chestnut's 15-point effort. She also finished the contest with a double-double, collecting a game-high 18 rebounds. Teammate Priscilla Weaver chipped in 10 points in a workmanlike effort.
Philipsburg-Osceola tallied just one in double figures when Maureen Witters finished with 13 points.
After a strong win against Central Mountain on Thursday, the Warriors used that momentum going into the first half of their contest against the Mounties. In the first quarter, the Warriors unselfishly spread the ball to each other as five of the seven players who checked in got points. Leading the way was Weaver, as she tallied seven with strong play in the paint and along the baseline.
The Warriors opened the contest hitting the first five points of the ball game. Dani Treaster wasted little time putting Indian Valley on the board, taking the tip strong to the glass and getting fouled in the process. Treaster hit one-of-two.
Breanna Cline, who had an 11-rebound performance, got on the board with just under seven minutes to play, upping the lead to 3-0. Weaver ended the 5-0 run for the Warriors as she hit a runner in the lane.
Philipsburg cut the lead to just a bucket with one shot when sharpshooter Witters hit on her first of three triples on the night, making it 5-3.
Indian Valley went up 7-3 as Whitney Corbin hit her first field goal of the night on the Warriors' next possession, stretching the lead to four.
Chelsea Rex cut the Warrior lead back to two, hitting both attempts from the foul line.
However, Weaver upped the Warriors' lead by five as she scored a field goal and an extra shot after being fouled on the play, making it 10-5.
From there, the two teams both scored four points going into the second quarter with the Warriors still leading by five at 14-9.
Indian Valley's offense exploded for 16 points in the second quarter, while its defense clamped down on the opportunistic Mountie shooters, holding them to only seven.
The Warriors opened up the second period quickly, mounting a 12-2 run, led by four points from Chestnut. Allie Sutton, Alyssa Stackpole and Cline also hit shots for Indian Valley in the run.
When the two teams went into the intermission, Indian Valley had a double-digit lead at 31-15. But like they did for much of the game, the Mounties went to their three-point shooting to get them back in the game.
When the third quarter opened, Lauren Simcox hit two consecutive triples, bringing Philipsburg back to within striking distance at 31-21. Simcox added a second three in the period.
When the dust settled at the end of the third period, Philipsburg had chipped the Warrior lead to 40-31.
"We've been getting better every single game. We came out and played strong and it did not surprise me," Indian Valley coach Roger Herto said. "I thought we gave up a little more points than we should have. We came out and played with a lot of intensity. We shot the ball okay and had the lead at the half. Then for the first time this year, we take the court in the second half with a lead and we did not play with a lot intensity."
In the final stanza, the defense took over on both sides. Though the Mounties made a late charge to try to steal the game, the Warriors refused to let the game slip away, holding onto a 45-38 victory.
Jan 14, 2011 - Special Booster Meeting
In light of the Mifflin County School Board decision to merge Indian Valley and Lewistown high schools next year, we will have a special Booster Meeting MONDAY, January 17th at 7:00pm in the IVHS Media Room to make plans for finishing the 2010-2011 season.
Jan 13, 2011 - IV Girls Win at Central Mountain
Warriors secure key victory on the road
January 14, 2011Save |
From staff reports
MILL HALL - Winning against a solid team after a long bus ride isn't an easy thing to do in the Mountain League, but the Indian Valley girls basketball team accomplished just that on Thursday evening.
A three-point win in the third quarter was the difference in an important 37-34 road triumph.
"The game was what we expected - (Central Mountain) played very good defense, but I thought we played a little bit better defense though," Indian Valley coach Roger Herto said. "(Whitney) Corbin and (Sammie) Chesnut were our one-two punch tonight."
There was also an X-factor in the form of a Warrior senior.
"Priscilla Weaver, one of our two seniors, had her best game tonight," Herto said. "She ended up being the key player in the zone that we played and she was responsible for keeping a lot of Central Mountain points off the board. It was a big win for us - I'm really proud of the kids."
Corbin led the way win 20 points while Chesnut added 11 in the victory.
The Warriors (6-4, 4-2) are back in action on Saturday when they host Philipsburg-Osceola.
Jan 7, 2011 - IV Girls double up Bellefonte
Warriors double up visiting Raiders
January 7, 2011 - By KENNY VARNER, Sentinel correspondentSave |
HIGHLAND PARK - Thursday night at the Indian Valley gym might be one that the Warrior girls basketball players circle on their calendar as they head down the road toward the postseason.
After losing to cross-town rival Lewistown earlier in the week, the schedule didn't seem too helpful as the traditionally-tough Bellefonte girls came to town.
What the Red Raiders saw was a pumped up home team that was ready to show the fans that they weren't going leave with anything other than a victory.
And they did just that, defeating Bellefonte, 50-25.
It wasn't just winning the game that impressed their head coach Roger Herto, but the way it was done and how all his players came into the game ready for battle.
"From the halftime of the Lewistown game, we played two good quarters, and then we played four pretty good quarters tonight," Herto said. "Bellefonte is a decent team - I liked our approach, I thought it was very workmanlike. I saw them play with fire in their eyes tonight wanting to win and knowing we needed a win.
It's no secret, we have to keep our heads above water if we want to make the postseason."
Leading the way in scoring for the Warriors was sharpshooter Whitney Corbin who tallied 15 points in three and a half quarters. Teammate Breanna Cline missed a double-double by one point, finishing with nine.
In a losing effort, the Red Raiders were paced by Brooks Young. Young scored most of her points from the foul line as she went five of eight from the charity stripe and also hit a triple.
With the Red Raiders leading scorer out with an injury, the Warriors swarmed the Bellefonte offense early and often, starting in the very first minute of the game.
Bellefonte also made a strong effort on their defensive side, holding Indian Valley to only eight points in the quarter. Four of the five starters for the Warriors picked up a bucket.
Defensively, Indian Valley one-upped Bellefonte as it were able to lock out the inside and prevent good looks on the perimeter, resulting in no points for the visitors after one quarter.
Indian Valley also dominated the boards as teammates Sammie Chestnut and Breanna Cline both finished in double-figures in rebounding.
The offense got rolling for the Warriors in the second quarter as they posted 16 points while Bellefonte finally got on the board scoring six.
Leading 8-0 going into the second quarter, Indian Valley drew first blood when Dani Treaster took the ball strong to the basket and was fouled, making it an old-fashioned three-point play and increasing the lead to 11.
With 6:15 left in the second, Jenna Robb put Bellefonte on the scoreboard, hitting 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to make it 11-1.
The Warriors would stretch the lead to 16-1 before Bellefonte picked up its first field goal of the evening. Jillian Musser's jumper with 3:50 left in the half cut the deficit to 13.
From there Indian Valley would go on an 8-3 run to go into the intermission leading 24-6.
Leading the scoring in the quarter for Indian Valley was Cline with four while Bellefonte got a triple from guard Erica DeVinney.
In the third quarter, both teams increased the intensity as neither wanted to lift up on the pedal. It was also the closest scoring quarter of the game as the Warriors took the advantage in a 13-11 period.
In the final stanza, both teams were able to clear their benches and give some of the younger players some court time.
Those making the most of their time were Indian Valley's Alyssa Stackpole and Taylor Dietrich, who both notched a field goal while teammate Brooke Seler was 1-of-2 from the line.
Bellefonte also got some results from its bench as Cassandra Book and Erika Walker also hit for two points each.
In the JV contest, the Warriors were successful as well, defeating Bellefonte 28-18.
Jan 5, 2011 - IV Falls at Lewistown
Open scoring lane
Lewistown opens with 30 in paint
January 5, 2011 - By Drew Pellman, Sentinel sports reporterSave |
LEWISTOWN - Through the years, not many teams have relied on their guards like the Lewistown girls basketball team has. Nearly year in and year out, the Panthers have dominated the backcourt with speed, athleticism and the ability to score from the outside.
So on Tuesday night against cross-county rival Indian Valley, it was odd - and perhaps a bit stunning - to see the first 30 Lewistown points come from in the paint. The Panthers used the quick start to take control early en route to a 68-45 Mountain League victory over the Warriors.
Veteran coach Kevin Kodish said that he couldn't remember a game that started like this one during his coaching reign.
"I'm confident in saying that it's probably the first time ever in 27 years because we have been guard-oriented over the years," Kodish said with a smile. "But these (post players) have that capability and the (guards) found them. We weren't hitting the outside shot early."
Starting forward Cheyenne Stonerook and first substitution Chelsea Siddons were the beneficiaries of that early on as each tallied six points in the opening quarter.
"We took what was available to us and they finished the shots to give us the big lead and that loosened up their defense a little bit more," Kodish said.
Indian Valley coach Roger Herto was making his return to the rivalry after not being involved for the last two seasons. And it was pretty apparent to him as to where his team was beaten on this night.
"I told them before the game that the key to this game was not going to be the first shot at each end, but the second or the third," Herto said. "And in some cases tonight, it was the fourth or the fifth. In a nutshell, No. 20 killed us. Cheyenne just absolutely dominated the glass on both ends - she was the difference in that game."
Herto went to say how impressed he was with Stonerook's game following her setback last season.
"I had the pleasure of coaching her in softball when she was a kid - what a great kid, what a great family, and for her to come back from that ACL injury and do what she's done, that's a real credit to her," he said. "She just killed us - I joked with her after the game that you're not supposed to do that to friends, but she deserved everything she got and more."
Count Kodish among those who are glad to see Herto back on the bench.
"We were coaching against each other for so many years - it was weird the last two years not having him over there opposite of me on the sidelines," he said. "It felt like Lewistown and Indian Valley again having Roger over there. It's a great rivalry between the schools and it was a nice occasion to have him back there."
Aside from Lewistown's duo inside, a layup from Logan Snyder was the only other field goal of the first quarter for the Panthers while Indian Valley managed a bucket apiece from Dani Treaster and Whitney Corbin to make it 14-4 at the end of one.
It was more of the same in the second, as Stonerook and Siddons combined for 12 more, Snyder added six and Olivia Halfpenny got in the mix with five. Corbin and Treaster hit triples for the Warriors and Breanna Cline added a deuce, but the visitors were unable to keep up as Lewistown increased its lead to 22 at 37-15 by the half.
Indian Valley showed that it had no plans to quit when the teams returned from the break, as Corbin struck for 12 points from beyond the arc in the third quarter alone. Couple that with three points from Priscilla Weaver and three more from Sammie Chesnut and the Warriors won their only stanza of the night (18-13) to cut the Panthers' lead to 50-33 with one more period remaining.
But Lewistown freshman Ashleigh Williams, who was held to just two points through three quarters, found her touch in the fourth with seven quick points to put the hammer down on any comeback thoughts that Indian Valley may have had.
Corbin added seven more points in the final frame for a game-high 24 points, but Lewistown's balanced attack featured four players that reached double digits in scoring. Stonerook's 20 led the way and was followed by Snyder (12), Siddons (12) and Williams (10). Just missing out of that group was Halfpenny, who finished with nine.
"It's nice to see that many players in double figures," Kodish said. "You obviously want to see a good rounded team effort."
Herto said that Corbin, as well as her teammates, did a solid job of stepping up in the second half after a slow start.
"We realize that offense is not one of our strengths and everybody knows that she is the player that we have to get the ball to sometimes," he said. "That's a credit to her and her teammates that it's happening. We still need other people to step up to give us that one-two punch, but I thought after what was a very timid first half, we had a pretty good second half."
Lewistown (7-1, 3-1) hosts Juniata on Thursday night before stepping out of the league for an anticipated battle at Greenwood on Saturday. The Warriors (4-4) also return to action Thursday when they will welcome in Bellefonte.

I got to try the Trek Transport, Transport + in Vegas and I've now owned the Transport for about a week. Here's some key observations.
$1300 – That is a great value. It comes complete with all the racks and one bag.
Specs – Weight is about 45 lbs. Wheelbase is 49 inches for the medium. Sizing is 17 and 20 inches.
All Aluminum frame – This is key as this bike is relatively light and it seems structurally sound and laterally stiff.
200 lb cargo capacity – 100 lbs on the rear tray and 50 lbs each on the side trays. Maybe another 25 in the front rack.
2×8 speed – gearing is perfect with 28/38 up front. Having a big third chainring in the front like a 44t is not necessary for most.
Disc brake in the front, Vbrake in the rear – Disc/Disc would have been nice but it is upgradeable in the rear and it has not been an issue yet.
Low BB and short cranks – BB is low at 11.4 inches. That's about 1 to 2 inches lower than most mountain bikes. To avoid hitting the cranks on the ground, they've been shortened to 165mm.
Mary-style handlebar and ergo grips – These are cool touches as the cockpit is very comfortable.
BB and rear triangle are extremely stiff. Because of the beefy aluminum construction to support all the rear cargo, the BB area has been reinforced quite a bit. The result is acceleration and responsiveness that is really surprising!! Handling is awesome too.
My research on other Cargo Bikes in the market:
This is the golden age of cargo bikes. As health, energy and environment issues arise, people are looking to bike more. The cargo bike is one solution to many of life's errands and To do list trips. It is a possible car replacement solution.
But all is not well. The cargo bike solutions are very immature and the current setups and pricing are just a hint of what they need to be. Here are some of the things I looked into:
Surly Big Dummy – about $2500 for a bike and $800 for a frame msrp. Xtracycle compatible and it seems that this is not usually a complete bike but a building block for an enthusiast or build kit ready system depending on the store you purchase from. Cargo capability is about 200 lbs assuming a 200lb rider.
Sizes: s, m, l, xl
frame weight: 12.6 lbs
wheelbase: 57.4 inches for medium

subset: commoncrawl

Takayas Mizuno-Eclipse Hoop Earrings Jewelry-Earrings
At Design Interviews
Interview with Takayas Mizuno : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Takayas Mizuno : There is one phenomenon that continually arrests our behavior, stopping us dead in our tracks. The astrological phenomenon of a solar eclipse has intrigued people from the earliest ages of humanity. From the sudden darkening of the sky and blotting out of the Sun has cast a long shadow of fear, suspicion, and wonder on the imaginations The stunning nature of solar eclipses leaves a lasting impression upon us all. The 18K white gold diamond eclipse hoop earrings were inspired by the 2012 solar eclipse. The design tries to capture the mysterious nature and beauty of the sun and the moon The eye catching design of the Eclipse hoop earrings is the result of the synchronicity of the mirror image. The pure perfection of the simplicity of the beautiful lines, as of the silhouette of the sun and the moon lined with the brilliant shin of the diamonds which with the use of Black diamond's to bring in the darkness and the its balanced with the use of organic and geometric shapes without sacrificing the beauty and mystery of the solar eclipse. The design emulating the mysterious halo present during an eclipse. The design adds something more elegant to a classic inspired form. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?.

Takayas Mizuno : Would like to sell the royalty rights for high-end specialty stores. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Takayas Mizuno : It took me 2-3 days just to get the design for the earrings, creating them took longer while trying to make them perfect just like a eclipse is. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Takayas Mizuno : Decided to pursue an inspiration of the 2012 eclipse that i watched. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Takayas Mizuno : The plan is to sell or lease the production rights. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Takayas Mizuno : I wanted something unique for the competition and drew from my background in style and though i should try to share what i witnessed with someone else, in the way i knew how, Jewelry .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Takayas Mizuno : No .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?.

Takayas Mizuno : The biggest challenge was how to recreate what was happening in the sky to a the design in a computer as a model and to actually try to capture that same beauty between the light and the darkness. The design had to be created in a way that the casting would be able to build the whole earring in parts and still maintain the integrity of the unique structure and shape. Cleaning and polishing the parts is time consuming and requires care since it will be showing, but well worth the effort. After the parts are completed, a laser welder is used in the next phase. The utmost care is needed in order not to damage the previous steps of the work already done. From whatever angle one looks at the earrings, the earrings appears as if it were a different design, that is one of the elements that make these earrings unique. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Takayas Mizuno : I was a gold winner in last years competition so with some research i thought that the most highly considered competitions for international accessibility and distribution wouldn't be a bad think to try my luck at one more time. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Takayas Mizuno : My skills become more sharpened as I created more technically difficult designs. This hoop earrings ware a challenge because of the what I wanted to achieve, and that was the mixture of the light and darkness of the eclipse .

Local homeless people and the needy are enjoying strawberries courtesy of the recent big-rig crash on Interstate 15, a bizarre incident sparked by a Tennessee man who thought he was being attacked by zombies.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Jerimiah Clyde Hartline of Tennessee stole a big rig hauling strawberries from the commercial truck scale south of Temecula around 6 p.m. Saturday and started driving north on the freeway.
As he got near the Temecula Parkway interchange he started driving erratically, hitting multiple vehicles and causing chain-reaction crashes that left numerous people injured.
Hartline reportedly told authorities that he thought zombies were chasing him and clinging to the truck so he swerved to shake them off.
The big rig eventually crashed, spilling the load of strawberries.
This is where Margie Hammersley comes in. The director of the Temecula Community Pantry was contacted by United Way shortly after the crash and she put together a team to scoop up as many of the intact boxes of strawberries as possible.
"They didn't go to waste," she said during a phone interview.
Pantry volunteers ended up filling four pickups and Hammersley said she has been working since then to give them away, sharing the bounty with pantries in Hemet and elsewhere.
Hammersley said there should still be trays available Friday morning if people want to swing by and pick some up. The pantry hands out food from 8:30 a.m. to noon at its Old Town homebase, 28816 Pujol St. in Temecula.

A popular song once asked – "What's love got to do with it?" For those of us who are working to make sure that our youngest children have what they need, we need to ask a similar question: What's adults got to do with it?
Recent groundbreaking research on brain development has shown us that children have a critical window in their brain development between birth and age five. Responsive and attentive interactions between young children and the adults around them during this period form strong neural connections and shape the architecture of the brain. This is why every single interaction with babies and preschoolers matters so much. Indeed, fostering strong development in those early years is vitally important to children's success in life.
But the window doesn't slam shut when children turn five.
The brain is still open to intervention and change throughout life, with some areas still maturing in the early 20s. That doesn't mean we should wait until then. It just opens up a wider window and invites us to step in as soon as we can and go as long we can.
Research also says that the chain of adults who are part of children's lives starting at birth can have a profound impact on what happens to children and how their lives are shaped. Instead of throwing up our hands in despair when confronted by the many problems that children face, we can instead direct a laser-like focus on the adults who touch their lives every day.
That is what the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University and its Director, Dr. Jack P. Shonkoff, are talking about in a compelling new video that offers a theory of change for children that we, as adults, can act on.
We all know that living day to day in toxic stress is not good for children: they do not do well in the midst of violence, neglect, hunger, and anxiety. But what we seem to have forgotten is that the toxic stressors that young children experience also can come from the lives of the adults in their communities: The skills that we know young children need to thrive are the very same skills that parents and caregivers and aunties and uncles and neighbors and family friends need (and may not have) to hold down jobs, to create stable routines at home, and to be there for kids when they cry, when they are angry, when they are asking questions, when they are looking for hugs, when they are unsure and confused, when they are worried, when they are sick, when they need something or someone and are not sure how to ask…..
While we need better policies to help remove all the stressors facing families and particularly those families who are very vulnerable and isolated and poor – what we must also do is help the adults better understand and take up their roles in the lives of kids. Many of us who are grown and doing well today grew up poor, living in less than ideal circumstances. But the adults in our lives – at home, at church, at school, and next door – never let poverty and bad situations define us. They shielded us. They encouraged us. They taught us. This is not impossible work; it is simply work we have forgotten how to do, were never taught, or tragically decided that we do not want to do.
Too often as a society we talk about how we want to "save" the children – but to do that, in addition to creating policies that make our community environments safe, stable, and enriching, we must be willing to "redeem" the adults in their lives, starting as early as possible and continuing through their 20s.
We invite you to talk about how you and your organization are "redeeming" adults on behalf of young children. And if you are not, how could you?
What's adults got to do with it? Everything…..

Why Real Estate Agents Trust Fairway
Trust is imperative in business, especially in the real estate and mortgage industries. When people set out to make the largest financial transaction of their lives, they seek out a real estate agent who lends their experience and expertise. Buyers trust their Realtor to show them houses that are in their price range, negotiate, and ensure that the process of buying their home goes smoothly.
In much the same way, buyers trust their mortgage lender to guide their path toward buying a home. Buyers trust Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation to analyze their income, credit history and debts in order to provide accurate, reliable feedback on how much the buyers can afford to borrow. At Fairway, we take this responsibility very seriously and our goal is to advise our customers on the best way to live comfortably in a home they can afford.
There is also the trust between real estate agents and mortgage professionals that allows us to refer one another to potential customers. There is no price you can put on the confidence you have in someone who you know always has your back. At Fairway, we make sure that when we tell you we can do something that we really can. We won't string a buyer along with false hope and promises. We won't leave you sitting at the closing table with a broken deal or have you panicking in the final days before a deal is done.
Our goal is simple – take care of people. As a real estate agent, you can trust us to take care of your clients like we would take care of a member of our family. We know that your word speaks volumes to those who trust you and we will never do anything to mar the reputation that you have spent years building. We will always have your back. So the next time a buyer asks you whom you trust, we want you to tell them that you (and they) can always trust Fairway.
There are three important things about Fairway Independent Mortgage that can make a difference for your clients:
First, Fairway is an independent mortgage bank. We aren't limited to one set of guidelines or rates like the retail banks are. This allows us to present more options to homebuyers and find great rates for your clients.
Second, Fairway occupies the 'sweet spot' in mortgage lending. We are big enough to have the best rates and programs from our investors, but small enough to care about what we do. It's our personal touch and excellent communication that make us a leader in the industry. If we need assistance from anyone at Fairway, including CEO Steve Jacobson, we can call and have an answer right away.
Third, we are mortgage bankers, not brokers. Our only focus is mortgages. We are specialists and dedicated to ensuring that home loans are closed on time with no surprises. We are here to support you and your client during every step of the lending process.
Beyond our ability to perform at a consistently high level, we have a genuine interest in helping people achieve their financial goals. We believe in partnering with the best in the business to build our community and our business. We believe in partnering with you. Call me today to see how Fairway can help your clients.

We all know what a page is, and HTML, and a server – but did you ever want to code? Well, our afternoon of coding for beginners in London next week won't make you into a ninja web developer, but it is a light-hearted, activity-led series of hour-long sessions for the most (and we mean 'most') inexperienced web wannabe.
We will show you what an HTML page is made of and then you'll make one yourself. There will then be an hour on CSS (or making it pretty). An hour on javascript (or making it do stuff). An hour on API's (or adding cool stuff) and then an hour on HTML5 and and the future . . .
Think of it as Blue Peter meets O'Reilly – by the end of the day you should have your own toilet-roll and sellotape webpage and a few new skills. You can come for any of the hour-long courses or for the whole afternoon. We'll bring some experts (a couple of awesome Google engineers, along with BBH London's Head of Technology, Jim Hunt and Head of Creative Technology, Jon Andrews). You'll need to bring a laptop and some enthusiasm.
There's limited availability, so please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi all!
I know that recently my podcast has vanished from iTunes. Unfortunately, because I didn't have donations coming in anymore I could afford to continue paying for the hosting through Libsyn.
But, fear not!!
I am going to sit down with Ryan later this week and get all of my episodes uploaded properly to this website for direct download. You will have to tell your computer to download the episodes, but at least they will still be available.
Thanks so much for your understanding!!

Exelon Nuclear and fishermen competing in the 2009 "Fishing for a Cure" tournament at Braidwood Lake raised $20,000 for the charity Autism Speaks on Saturday. In an event to raise money to help families dealing with autism.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. (June 1, 2009) - Exelon Nuclear and fishermen competing in the 2009 "Fishing for a Cure" tournament at Braidwood Lake raised $20,000 for the charity Autism Speaks on Saturday. In an event to raise money to help families dealing with autism, it was fitting that family teams represented the top three winners.
"Autism Speaks is honored to accept this donation from Exelon Nuclear," said Mary Rios of the Chicagoland Chapter of Autism Speaks. "Many people continue to face challenges presented by autism, and this wonderful gesture from those participating in Fishing for a Cure will help those people in their time of need."
A record-tying 92 two-person teams were entered in the eighth annual tournament. The father and son team of Andrew and Ron Lindstrom of Monee took home first place and the $4,000 top prize. Their three-fish total of 9.69 pounds was best in the tournament field. The duo also snared the day's biggest bass at 4.95 pounds.
Last year's winners Gerald Luehrs (Lansing) and John Luehrs (Manhattan) captured 8.74 pounds for a second-place finish this year and $2,500. Andrew and Mike Kiesling of Byron caught 8.64 pounds and took home $1,000 for third place. Seven other teams shared the remaining $2,500 in prize money.
Also part of this year's event was a children's fishing derby held at the Godley Park District pond. Sixty-five youngsters participated in the tournament. Winners in the 5-and-under group were Aydan Murphy (first), Jacob Plese (second) and Jennifer Babica (third). Tim Matecki won the 6- to 8-year-old division, followed by Emily Spicka and Savannah Soto. In the 9- to 12-year-old group, Marissa Soto (first), Abby Schlappi (second) and Nick Narine (third) took home the honors.
ESPN Radio's Chauncey Niziol was the tournament host for both the bass tournament and the children's fishing derby. Lee Kuusisto of American Bass Anglers was the tournament judge.
"Our employees at Braidwood Station and Exelon Corporation as a whole are proud to be able to help a wonderful charity like Autism Speaks," said Braidwood Site Vice President Bryan Hanson. "The continued success of this event is possible because of the dedication of our employees and the contributions of local businesses and organizations."
Braidwood Station and several local sponsoring businesses and organizations donated the prize money and contributed to other tournament costs. All proceeds raised through tournament entry fees, raffles and sponsorships go to the recipient charity, which is selected annually by station employees.

In its eight-year history, Exelon Nuclear's "Fishing for a Cure" has raised more than $130,000 for charity. Previously charities benefiting include the Beth Ann Miller Foundation in its fight against Bacterial Meningitis (2002 - $5,000), the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - Chicago Chapter (2003 - $7,500), the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Center (2004 - $13,000), the Multiple Sclerosis Society (2005 - $16,000), the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Illinois (2006 - $20,400), CURE - Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (2007 - $21,000) and FAAN - Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (2008 - $27,400).
The goal of Autism Speaks is to change the future for all who struggle with autism. Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others and typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. Today, one in 150 children are diagnosed with autism. Autism Speaks raises money to fund new research to uncover the cause, help with prevention and treatments, and find a cure for autism.

LITTLE ROCK — Legislation that would let church officials decide whether to allow people with concealed handgun permits to carry weapons in places of worship sailed through the Senate on Monday.
The House, in a voice vote, approved House Resolution 1003 by Rep. Richard Womack, R-Arkadelphia, which encourages federal officials to preserve the Second Amendment.
Senate Bill 71, the guns in church bill by Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, passed the Senate 28-4.
King, who was elected to the Senate in November, filed similar legislation in 2011 when he was in the House. It passed the House but died in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Last week, SB71 easily cleared the same committee with backing from the National Rifle Association.
"What this bill is designed to do, or the intent is, to give each church the individual decision on what they want to do for security," King told the Senate on Monday.
Sen. Alan Clark, R-Hot Springs, urged senators to support the bill.
"Being a pastor's kid, maybe I've paid more attention to churches and church shootings over the years than others, but sometimes threats are made … if you know you are in danger, those people in church are in danger and you don't have the money to hire security guard, you've got a problem and you would be violating the law if you carry a gun," Clark said.
Opponents complained that church was no place for carrying lethal weapons.
"My Lord's house is a house for prayer, not for guns," said Sen. Linda Chesterfield, D-Little Rock.
Sen. Stephanie Flowers, D-Pine Bluff, said she supports the Second Amendment but expressed concern that the proposal does not require churches that allow concealed weapons inside to obtain liability insurance. She tried unsuccessfully to amend the bill to add such a requirement in committee.
"What would happen if someone, if some innocent one, was injured?," she asked Monday.
King said later that he planned to run his bill in the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, predicted Monday the committee would endorse the bill and the House would pass it.
"The question that the General Assembly has in front of it is, should (churches) have the right to make that decision for themselves? I think they answer to that is yes, and I think the bill will pass the House," said Carter said.
Gov. Mike Beebe has said he has no problem with the measure.
Womack, a House freshman, said last week he filed the nonbinding gun rights resolution that the House approved Monday in response to new gun restrictions proposed by President Obama in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.
Among other things, the president has proposed limiting the maximum number of rounds in a clip and requiring stricter background checks for gun buyers.
There was no discussion on the measure before the vote.
Also Monday, the House gave final legislative approval to a pair of Senate bills and sent them to the governor.
SB 82 by Sen. Bruce Maloch, D-Magnolia, passed the House passed 96-0. It would would pay about 125 court assistants across the state for two months until lawmakers can find a permanent source to cover a shortfall in the Administration of Justice Fund.
Rep. Duncan Baird, R-Lowell, co-chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, presented the bill in the House and said a work group of legislators is looking for a long-term means of funding pay for court assistants. The bill goes to the governor.
In a 97-0 vote, the House approved Senate Bill 7 by Sen. Eddie Williams, R-Cabot, which would allow spouses of personnel stationed at military installations in Arkansas to transfer any professional licenses or degrees in health care or education that they have in other states.
SB 4 by Sen. Bill Sample, R-Hot Springs, passed in the House in a 98-0 vote. The bill would allow community colleges to call millage elections to raise money for the construction, operation and maintenance of buildings or to retire bonded indebtedness.
Current law allows community colleges to call millage elections to raise operating funds but does not specify that the schools can use millage revenue to pay off bonds.
The bill, which previously passed the Senate, goes back to the Senate for concurrence in a House amendment.
The Senate passed SB 56 by Sen. Jon Woods, R-Springdale, which would require out-of-state sex offenders to pay a $250 fee to register as a sex offender in Arkansas. The bill passed 31-0 and now goes to the House.
SB 53 by Sen. Jeremy Hutchinson, R-Little Rock, passed 35-0 and goes to the House. It would require doctors working for medical corporations owned out of state to be licensed in Arkansas to practice.

Is it possible that David Fincher took all the accusations of sexism leveled against "The Social Network" to heart? And that he's now trying to assuage some weird guilt by making films about powerful women? Or is he just dying to work with Angelina Jolie?
Fincher, who made "TSN" at Sony, and is currently finishing up "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" for them, has been talking to the studio about the possibility of directing "Cleopatra," reported Deadline.
The film, which has Jolie in the lead, is an adaptation by Brian Helgeland of Stacy Schiff's bestselling biography, "Cleopatra: A Life." Schiff's portrait of the Egyptian queen presents her as more than just a seductress, but also a savvy stateswoman.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
James Cameron was hoping to direct this new version before Fox threw a big bag of money at him for a pair of "Avatar" sequels, then Paul Greengrass was in the mix before directing his own MLK assassination script, "Memphis."
The problem, as always, may be timing. Sony wants Fincher to crank out the second and third films in the "Dragon Tattoo" series, and he's still hoping to do "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

Barnaby Grist preached that health and family come first to his team at Cetera Financial, and now he's putting the belief into practice.
Grist, the broker-dealer's executive vice president of wealth management, announced on Tuesday that he will leave the firm to spend more time with his parents and in-laws.
"I'm kind of in a place now that if I don't take the time, I might regret it forever," Gist told AdvisorOne when asked about the move. "I can't spend the time I want with loved ones and give 150% to Cetera."
He said CEO Valerie Brown (left), to whom he reports, has been "incredibly supportive," as has the company's board and the advisors with which he works.
"I've been speaking with our advisors all morning and that's the sentiment that I've received from them, that this is absolutely the right thing to do," Grist added. "It's just time I prioritized differently."
Grist joined Cetera in 2010 from Charles Schwab Advisor Services, where he was senior managing director of strategic business development. He said he's most proud of "the team he's built" in the three years since.
"They are all talented, creative and relationship-oriented," he noted. "We've won all sorts of industry awards and increased our assets. Most importantly, our advisors are saying that we're helping them grow their business on an average of 20%. That's an indication we're doing something right."
When asked about the succession plan, Grist said he will remain with the firm for the "next couple of months to make sure they are up to speed as quickly as possible," adding that it is working with an executive recruiter.
For cynics who might question the reasons for his departure, and whether he will turn up at Schwab again in a few months, Grist said, "absolutely not, although Schwab is also a great company. I can't foresee a situation where that would happen. If that we're the case we would have done this differently. My net worth is still tied up in the company, so I have a real interest in making sure it succeeds."
Prior to employment with Schwab, Grist served as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group's financial services practice. His experience also included a position as an equity analyst in Lehman Brothers' financial institutions group.
Grist earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Stanford University and he has an undergraduate degree from Oxford University in England. Grist will relocate from San Francisco to Cetera's headquarters in El Segundo, Calif.

Welcome to the Class of 2016
It's official: the class of 2016 has arrived on campus!
With music pumping and a sky full of sunshine, new students from across the U.S. moved their sneakers, futons, plastic tubs, rolls of carpet and stacks of clothes into Bergsaker and Solberg Halls Sunday morning, feeling excited and nervous about beginning the next stage of their lives.
After talking by phone and through text messages, Emily Koenen, a freshman athletic training major from Corcoran, Minn., met her roommate, Ashley-Marie Paladie, an elementary education and foreign languages major from St. Charles, Minn., for the first time mid-morning. Meeting her roommate, Koenen said, made the day even more exciting.
"Sure I'm nervous, but I'm excited too – it's such a mix of emotions," Koenen said with a laugh as she arranged shirts inside her closet.
View photos from freshman move-in day.
As Koenen and Paladie (pictured below) unpacked, the hallway outside their room was whirling with other new students, family members and dozens of student ambassadors from Augustana's New Student Orientation (NSO) team who worked throughout the day to assist the new freshmen move into their rooms.
Following move-in, freshmen will attend orientation and have dinner with President and First Lady Rob and Angie Oliver.
The College will officially open the 2012-13 academic year at Opening Convocation at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4, at Our Savior's Lutheran Church.

The whole truth: Charade remake delivers the goods
Remakes are tricky things. In many cases, the filmmaker has no concept other than to make pretty much the same movie with a different cast on the theory that the property has proven itself, and younger audiences will enjoy it more with actors they can relate to. Even highly anticipated "reimaginings" like Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes can prove disappointingly unimaginative.
On the other hand, new ideas aren't necessarily good ones. Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot recreation of Psycho should never have been green-lighted. At the other end of the spectrum is The Truth About Charlie, Jonathan Demme's delightful new version of Stanley Donen's 1963 Charade.
The plot and some memorable bits of dialogue are pretty much intact, but the style is totally different. While Donen was emulating Alfred Hitchcock's films of the 1950s, Demme is influenced by the French New Wave films of Truffaut and Godard that were made around the same time as Charade. Revolutionary at the time, their techniques continue to be evident in mainstream films today, so The Truth About Charlie doesn't look like a period piece; but it may be the Frenchest American film ever made.
Generations that have never seen Charade, let alone French New Wave films, can enjoy The Truth About Charlie on its own considerable merits. Others will be hard-pressed not to compare the new cast with the old. Thandie Newton is an admirable substitute for Audrey Hepburn, though without her iconic status; but Mark Wahlberg is no Cary Grant. That's not all bad. Being close in age, he and Newton make a more believable couple, though they lack old-fashioned movie-star glamour.
Newton plays Regina Lambert, whose husband Charles is murdered in France when she's on the verge of divorcing him. She learns all kinds of secrets about him, including several false identities and the fact that he'd worked as an American secret agent. She learns the latter from a Mr. Bartholomew (Tim Robbins) of the Office of Defense Cooperation.
The others Regina may be able to turn to for help are the police commandant (Christine Boisson), who thinks she may have played a role in her husband's murder, and Joshua Peters (Wahlberg), a mysterious stranger she met on vacation who's been popping up everywhere ever since.
There are three people (Joong-hoon Park, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Ted Levine) chasing Regina. It seems they were on a mission with Charlie three years ago, and he ran off with $6 million in diamonds. Whoever killed him didn't get the gems or the money, so everyone assumes Regina has them.
Joshua may have more identities than Charlie did, but all of them love Regina. Or are they all after her money? Demme doesn't maintain the romantic thread as well as Donen did while juggling the comedy and thriller elements, nor does he create as much suspense as the Hitchcock-damaged Donen did, but he keeps things light and playful while taking us along on his cinematic joyride.
Demme's Paris is more varied than Donen's, including a lot of the dark side of the City of Light that tourists never see. His cast is also more diverse, with more women and people of color in leading roles. Henry Mancini's music was fine in its day, but today's French pop has a heavy African influence, and Demme has made excellent selections to fit the pace and mood of each scene. He even uses Charles Aznavour, a veteran of the New Wave via Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player, to represent the romantic side of Paris, and Godard's favorite actress (and ex-wife) Anna Karina as the soul of cabaret.
In an alarming continuation of a current trend (Possession, Karmen Gei) a female character who says she's attracted to Regina dies in the very next scene. I guess lesbians don't do sequels.
A strange thing happened at the screening I attended. There was an equipment failure a little past the halfway point. I was loving the movie until then, but when it resumed, after a break of perhaps 15 minutes, it never seemed to fully regain its momentum. I wish I could have seen The Truth About Charlie again before filing this review, to see whether the fault lies with the film itself or whatever stars caused the cosmic screw-up.
Even if it's not perfect The Truth About Charlie is one of the increasingly rare films out of Hollywood that prove movies can be both art and entertainment at the same time.

Over the past decade, insurance supervisors have elaborated the Solvency II European directive, a major step towards policyholders protection and financial transparency. While Solvency II has been at the forefront of most stakeholders' preoccupations, local markets are also subject to regulatory challenges (e.g. in France: Loi Hamon, ANI, life insurance reform, etc.). This complex environment is constantly monitored and analyzed by Sia Partners' experts.case study
In a difficult environment from both economical and regulatory standpoints, the insurance market resists. However, competition between players is increasing and the market now also faces the arrival of newcomers from various fields (retail, media, Internet, etc.). As a result, the profession fosters portfolio profitability and market shares acquisition through different strategic areas, such as:
- Expense ratio optimization (e.g. promoting operational excellence or digitalization);
- Product offering transformation (e.g. creating customer-oriented products);
- Distribution channel adaptation (e.g. making the most out of cross canal customer journeys);
- Innovation (e.g. fostering customer retention through product differentiation);
As a result, if most transformations over the past decade have been driven by supervisory issues, the insurance market now simultaneously faces transformation challenges on different strategic axis. Sia Partners assists its clients to cope with these challenges, in both priorities definition and recommendation implementation.
Thanks to Sia Partners' international footprint our Insurance practice is an a global watch and can provide assistance wherever insurers need it (New York, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brussels, Milan, Rome, Paris, etc.) and our integrated model allows several teams from different countries to work together on the same project for our international clients.
Sia Partners has developed strong competencies in P&C, Life & Savings and Sia Partners is able to accompany most directions of an insurance company as it has been recognized as a leading consulting company for the chief risk officer, chief financial officer, chief marketing officer, chief digital officer, chief technical officer and the human resources department.
To share our passion, and help you to better understand and analyze the Financial sector, Sia Partners has created a specific blog: http://en.finance.sia-partners.com/. This blog is managed and updated on a regular basis by our team of consultants.
Comply with Regulations
Sia Partners was involved in the project management and implementation of the Solvency II Approval process of a major French insurer (and all its worldwide entities). The project encompassed different technical contexts, applying Internal Model, USPs or the Standard Formula to all Lines of Business.
Enhance operational efficiency
Cost reduction is an essential component in today's insurance strategies, especially on the direct market. Improving the operating ratio is a key element in restoring financial and commercial leeway. Sia Partners' DILO method and Lean-Six Sigma expertise allow us to offer action plans to achieve operational excellence and decrease the expense ratio.case study
Sia Partners helped a large Direct Insurer redefine and optimize its process for managing mail (underwriting, claims, etc.). Our solid field analysis enabled us define a measurable transformation plan.
Foster innovation
The insurance market is fostering new growth drivers as the market is mature and competition is severe. Therefore, insurers envisage innovation as a differentiation (therefore acquisition and retention) lever. Innovations can fall into the field of developing new products, inventing new distribution channels, or even reinventing business models. Sia Partners' research center identifies these innovations and shares its prospective vision through regular publications.case study
Different insurance companies – in different countries – required Sia Partners assistance in redefining their product offering . The project included an international benchmark and recommendations with corresponding business cases.
Steer / Manage implementation
Transformation projects have become more and more complex and international and involve many actors (business, support, IT). Managing its implementation requires specific skills and sophisticated tools in order to provide both a macro and micro vision. Sia Partners' feedback allowed us to build a custom methodology kit for general management and project contributors.case study
Sia Partners helped a large insurer with their global management of the compliance program Solvency 2 (COMEX Group reporting and management of each task).
Anticipate technological breakthrough
The digital world is becoming omnipresent and data is becoming more and more complex to analyze. New communication channels are the beginning of a new era in the way we understand customer relationships. Aware of the importance of these transformations, Sia Partners provides a digital center of excellence able to accompany their clients in the new "digital world". This center of excellence encompasses all industries to ensure a global and up to date watch of digital breakthroughs.case study
Sia Partners assisted an insurance company in performing its digital turn. The project included definition of strategic objectives and a gap analysis on both internal (HR, working habits, etc.) and external (customer journeys, big data, etc.) streams. Ultimately, Sia Partners provided assistance during the implementation phase.
Support growth operations
External growth operations have become essential in order to 1/ expand in a global economy and 2/ face concentration trends on local markets. Due diligence, data rooms and post-merger integrations are recurring activities when implementing strategic plans. Sia Partners' international network provides a global support for their key customers and offers them a custom approach.case study
Over the past decade, Sia Partners accompanied the transformation program and the integration of different insurance companies during their mergers. These projects always included definition of a target organization and the very implementation of operational changes

Additional Info
Blog: Sweet Summertime
Hometown and high school? Dallas, TX; Greenhill School
Favorite class? The Wisdom of Mistakes and Failures because it taught us that it's ok to not succeed at everything because even the best fail sometimes. We also learned how to juggle!
Recommended professor? Marilee Schumann, this Art professor will challenge you not only to get better at Art, but to make your own meaning out of something you create.
Most memorable experience as a first-year student? Definitely getting to campus and realizing that even though a lot of my classmates knew each other because they live close, but that we were all in the same boat and we could all adjust to school together. You make friends for life during orientation.
If you could be a condiment, which one would you be and why? I would be barbecue sauce because that's what we eat in Texas!
If you had a superpower, what would it be and why? I would fly so that I could get around faster. I love to travel so flying would come in handy during my excursions.

August 7, 2012
Gibson Guitars has agreed to pay off the federal government in order to settle a wood dispute that had feds knocking down the guitar factory's doors.
After being raided twice by "agents carrying weapons and attired in SWAT gear," once in 2009 and again in 2011, the guitar manufacturer and the U.S. Department of Justice went into negotiations and have finally reached a settlement.
Gibson, located in Nashville Tennessee, was facing heat for the woods used in their guitar fingerboards. The Madagascar ebony wood Gibson used was the main subject of contention.
According to DOJ documents, "Between June 20, 2008, and November 17, 2009, Gibson did not ask for or obtain paperwork or official assurances from officials in Madagascar that the wood it was purchasing from Madagascar through its German supplier was legally harvested and exported from Madagascar…"
The guitar manufacturer caved in to paying a $300,000 "monetary penalty to the United States." In addition they have been made to pay a "community service payment" of $50,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The New York Times states that Gibson also "agreed to withdraw a suit seeking to recover about $261,000 worth of ebony and rosewood that was seized during the investigation," but that the government ultimately agreed to return Indian fingerboard blanks and allow future Indian imports.
The legislation feds exploited to raid Gibson was an amendment added to the 2008 farm bill – an amendment known as the Lacey Act – which "among other things, makes it unlawful, beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants and plant products without an import declaration."
Apparently, the DOJ's case hinged on a semantic. Guitar "fingerboards" are listed by the Madagascar Ministry of the Environment, Water, and Forests as "finished products;" however, fingerboard "blanks" are "considered "unfinished" and, therefore, considered illegal to export."
Regardless of the devious legalities employed, the bottom line is Gibson has been held ransom for conducting, what they believed, was business as usual.
In a press release published on Gibson's website Monday, CEO Henry E. Juszkiewicz maintained that his company was unjustly targeted and essentially held at gunpoint by threats "that would have forced the business to close." At one point Juszkiewicz was even told by court ruling that he should move his company to Madagascar.
Regarding their concession, Juszkiewicz stated, "We felt compelled to settle as the costs of proving our case at trial would have cost millions of dollars and taken a very long time to resolve. This allows us to get back to the business of making guitars. An important part of the settlement is that we are getting back the materials seized in a second armed raid on our factories and we have formal acknowledgement that we can continue to source rosewood and ebony fingerboards from India, as we have done for many decades."
Traveling musicians also worried about illegal wood arrests.
Gibson's FAQ page addressed concerns musicians had regarding legal paperwork required stating conformity to the Lacey Act: "Q: Will Gibson provide paperwork declaring the wood origins (per Lacey Act) for Customs if I take this new guitar out of the country? A: No. There is no known official form for a manufacturer to provide to a customer."
The Lacey Act squarely put Gibson in the DOJ's crosshairs, but for some reason Gibson has been the only guitar company targeted by feds.
Having paid off the federally-funded mafia group, the guitar company can finally cease litigation and concentrate on their main priority: making guitars.

Our interior design tastes become more traditional earlier than you might think
You probably could have guessed, but now research has shown, that our style preferences become more traditional as we age.
According to recent insights from Beaumont Tiles' What's my style quiz, Scandinavian – defined by pale colours, natural materials and minimalism at its finest - was the number one style choice for renovators aged 16 to 25.
However the style declined in popularity as the demographic aged, ending up least favourite for those aged 56 and above.
Beaumont Tiles' Strategic Designer, Vanessa Thompson, said the location and lifestyle choices of young Australians is one reason why Scandi is more popular among this age group.
"Younger generations living in cities are most likely living in apartments where space is restricted. Scandi styling is functional, organic, and yet radiates a playful persona that lends itself really well to small space living," she said.
"It is also available at all sorts of price points and is centred off one vibrant hero colour and can be easily accentuated with décor of mixed textures – so it's a really accessible style."
Findings also showed that Generation Y has started morphing into their parents' style early, with Classic Traditional being the first choice for all age demographics from 26 years and up.
"Categorised by elegant and timeless features, with neutral tones and added depth with complex colours and symmetrical shapes, Classic Traditional is all about being warm and welcoming," said Ms Thompson.
"When you think about it, really suits the first home-buyer or the older demographic where the home is their main place for entertaining."
For those aged 26-45, Scandinavian styling was their second choice, and Modern – defined as clutter-free and featuring largely neutral décor – was their third preference.
For those aged 46 and over, Coastal and Country Chic took up second and third place respectively, perhaps reflecting their desire to leave the city by creating a beach or rural feel.
"Country Chic is also touching back to a time of rustic furniture, teamed with a relaxed style with heavier furnishings and florals – it's perfect for those making a tree change, or just wanting to replicate its vibe," Ms Thompson said.
Classic Traditional is all about being warm and welcomingBeaumont Tiles' Strategic Designer, Vanessa Thompson

Individualized Major Program (IMP)
The Individualized Major Program (IMP) provides Harpur College students an opportunity to design a program of study not presently available within the established university structure. These innovative majors must be academically sound, must show breadth and depth, and must provide a theoretical and conceptual framework for a particular course of study. Acceptable majors are interdisciplinary and typically combine courses from three or more disciplines
Students are advised to apply for an IMP major in their SOPHOMORE year, and NO LATER THAN THE FIRST SEMESTER OF THEIR JUNIOR YEAR. Applications after this period may mean that additional semesters may be required.
Interested students should begin the process by visiting the Academic Advising Office
and obtaining the preliminary proposal application form from the IMP secretary. Once
the form has been completed it should be returned to the IMP secretary and an appointment
scheduled with the IMP Coordinator. The IMP coordinator reviews the idea for the major
with the student, offering assistance and helping clarify ideas before students approach
the faculty adviser they select to guide their individualized major. Under the guidance
of their faculty adviser students expand upon their preliminary proposal and write
a formal major proposal. Once the proposal is ready it is submitted to and reviewed
by the IMP coordinator before being passed along to the IMP committee- a committee
of eight comprised of faculty, staff, and students- for review and action. During
the review students are invited to appear before the IMP committee to engage in discussion
and obtain further direction.
An IMP major becomes official once it has been approved by the IMP committee. The approval is recorded by the IMP coordinator and this constitutes the declaration of major. Students work toward completion of the major as they would any of the established Harpur College majors.
Recent IMP students have designed some fascinating majors---Scientific and Technical Progress and Culture (combining courses from philosophy, history, anthropology, psychology mathematics, and physics), Religion and the Law (combining courses from history, Judaic studies, and philosophy) Human Social Interaction (psychology, sociology, anthropology genetics (biology, psychology, anthropology, and philosophy).
The IMP Proposal Consists of the following elements:
- IMP proposal cover sheet
- Endorsement letter from the faculty sponsor.
- Three to five (3-5) page essay.
- List of twelve to fifteen (12-15) courses which will constitute the major.
- Course descriptions (or an "annotated course list").
They should be in exactly the order listed above and the entire document must be submitted to the IMP coordinator via e-mail attachment.

Catalogs and Guides
The Newberry actively collects and preserves books, manuscripts, maps, and other printed materials related to the history and culture of Western Europe and the Americas. Most of the Newberry's materials are housed in a climate-controlled stacks facility adjacent to the main library building, and are retrieved by staff upon request. Researchers will need to consult catalogs and guides to locate materials relevant to their research.
Newberry Online Catalog
The Newberry's Online Catalog is the primary tool for identifying and locating resources relevant to your research. Books, manuscripts, maps, and periodicals are listed in this catalog. You can search the catalog using two different interfaces:
- Best option for searching for known items
- Records display rich bibliographic information on items on the first screen
- Allows search limits (date, location, language) prior to searching
- Searches only the Newberry catalog
- Best option for discovery and narrowing search results
- Requires you to request "More Details" for bibliographic data
- Allows you to refine search by date, language, location on your results screen
- Searches either the Newberry catalog or the I-Share catalog
- Offers access to EBL eBooks
There are some materials that are not represented in the online catalog, and these can be found using other online tools and print catalogs. For example, most of the Newberry's city directories are not in the online catalog, but a list of directories is available online in our Research Guides. Similarly, pre-1500 manuscript codices are not always included in the online catalog, but these are described in a print catalog.
The items represented in the Newberry's online catalog are also included in I-Share, the catalog for the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI). They are also included in the free and subscription versions of OCLC's WorldCat.
Online Tools and Guides
Modern Manuscripts
Search or Browse all Modern Manuscript Collection Abstracts (summary descriptions of almost all collections, often with links to more detailed online inventories and collection-level catalog records).
Search across the online inventories and catalog records of many Modern Manuscript Collections via ArchiveGrid (the best way to conduct an in-depth search of collection content).
Search for Modern Manuscripts in the Online Catalog (catalog records describing individual manuscript items or collections, often with links to more detailed online inventories).
Journal Search
The Newberry has implemented a link resolver called SFX to assist you with locating electronic journal articles. We have provided SFX with information about our Databases and our collections of periodicals so that it "knows" when an item is available electronically or in print in the library's collections. Catalog records in the Newberry Online Catalog provide a link to an SFX menu, which will tell you whether or not a journal can be accessed through the Newberry's subscription databases. You can also search the SFX database to discover whether or not we provide electronic access to a journal of interest to you. Additional information on using SFX to locate electronic resources is available in Research Guides. Please note that you must be in the Newberry Library building to access our subscription databases.
Research Guides
Newberry librarians have compiled bibliographies, checklists, links to articles about our holdings, and other research guides to assist you with locating information in our collections. Browse our Research Guides alphabetically or by topic.
Other Online Resources
Online resources at the Newberry also provide access to materials in our collections. You may find useful information in our Digital Resources, our Research Guides, and Databases.
Digital images of selected Newberry materials may also be viewed on the CARLI Digital Collections website, run by the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois. Some Newberry holdings (primarily materials related to Chicago ethnic groups, clubs, professional groups, and religious congregations) are available in full-text on the Internet Archive. A few of our city directories have been digitized, and these are freely available online in our Chicago Ancestors website.
Newberry Print Catalogs
The checklist section in the Reference Center on the third floor holds a number of printed guides and finding aids to the library's collections. Multi-volume sets catalog the Ayer, Wing, Graff, and Greenlee collections, and single-volume checklists detail the library's medieval and modern manuscripts and numerous other topics. Descriptions of the Research Collections of the Newberry Library: A Bibliography is an extensive, though dated, description of Newberry holdings.
Some of the Newberry's holdings are best described in these print tools. For example, only a small portion of our pre-1500 European manuscript books are described in the Newberry Online Catalog. To locate these, search Paul Saenger's Catalogue of the Pre-1500 Western Manuscript Books at the Newberry Library (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989).
The Newberry's card catalog is located in the Reference Center on the third floor. In the card catalog, books and other materials acquired and cataloged before 1978 are interfiled by author, title, and subject headings. The catalog also contains a number of special files, including place of publication and chronology files. These files are incomplete and represent only a portion of our holdings. Shelf lists for the General Collection (this shelf list is located on the third floor) and the Special Collections (this shelf list is located on the fourth floor) provide for virtual browsing of the stacks.
The Newberry welcomes reference inquiries by mail, email, and telephone. Please Contact a Librarian with any questions or concerns regarding our collections, catalogs, or guides.
