Our Vision
Create opportunity for people through accessible experiential learning
There is a gap between the knowledge students learn, and the skills they need to succeed. Experiential learning is a critical tool to close the gap.
We believe that experiential learning has the power to unlock the potential of billions of people. The future of work will revolutionise the education requirements and create opportunities far beyond the current thinking.
We envision a world where every person, regardless of background or geographic location, has access to quality education that develops the relevant skills for the future of work – not by reading a textbook and writing an exam, but by experiencing the application of theoretical knowledge in a real-world environment.

We love Leonard Mountain Soups, especially the Amigos series of soups. The fact they are low-sodium means you get more flavor in the spice pack. So many of the soups make salt a primary ingredient but Leonard Mountain focuses on flavor from herbs, spices, veggies, etc. They all make great bases for adding meat or extra veggies. Another plus- the herbs, spices, and thickener pack is separated from the "solids" pack. I love the fact that the spice pack doesn't lump up unlike other dried soups I've tried.

Theatre Espresso creates, produces, and performs interactive dramas that bring history to life for students, in order to foster a generation of critical thinkers and true citizens. Inspired by the highly successful Theatre in Education teams of Great Britain and by the belief that drama is a potent teaching tool, Theatre Espresso's work challenges students to make critical judgments, explore social relationships, reflect on the role of law and human rights in our society, and examine accepted truths about the history of America.
Wendy Lement, Producer
Shelley Bolman, Artistic Director
Kortney Adams, Managing Director
Since 1992, Theatre Espresso [TE] has toured its educational dramas to schools, museums, libraries, and courthouses throughout New England. By asking students to consider themselves participants in the drama (members of Congress investigating working conditions in Lawrence in 1912; concerned citizens in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957; or Supreme Court Justices during WWII) the company engages students in reflecting on the course of history. Without advocating any one viewpoint, our actors compel students to relate historical events to contemporary issues.
TE provides approximately 150 performances a year and offers residencies, teacher development workshops, and curriculum study guides. From 1993 to 2000, TE collaborated with the Wang Center for the Performing Arts' Young at Arts program, leading their "Teaching Tolerance" workshops. TE was on the performance roster of Young Audiences of Massachusetts from 1994-2007; in 2007 TE began managing its own promotion and booking.
Since 1999, we have performed our plays at courthouses in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Portland, and Bangor in partnership with Discovering Justice [DJ]. In 2002, DJ commissioned us to write The Trial of Anthony Burns for a two-year residency at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston. The Trial of Anthony Burns also had a two-year residence at The Orchard House, Home of the Alcotts, in Concord. In 2003 an anonymous donor commissioned us to research and write Clear and Present Danger: The Palmer Raids (about the seizure and deportation of suspected radicals just after WWI) leading to a three year residency at the Moakley Courthouse.
In Fall 2006, TE launched Uprising on King Street: The Boston Massacre, in residence at the John Adams Courthouse, as the pilot project for The Boston Youth Initiative for Theatre and Civic Dialogue, made possible in large part by the generous support of Mass Humanities. Our goal is to create a sustainable learning model that engages Boston students and teachers in complex debates on history, social justice, and civic engagement. The initiative forged a long term partnership between TE, Boston Public Schools, the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society. This initiative laid the ground work for Theatre Espresso's Road to Toleranceprogram at the John Adams Courthouse. Since 2010, this dynamic program has allowed educators to select from plays in our repertoire that best connect with their curriculum.
To help ensure that all Boston Public School (BPS) students are prepared to participate in the interactive portions of our plays, TE created stimulating pre-performance companion guides for each of the five dramas in the Road to Tolerance program. These materials resemble playbills that patrons receive when attending a play at the theatre, and were translated into the seven major languages spoken at home by BPS students (i.e., Cape Verdean Creole, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Somali, Spanish, and Vietnamese). The bilingual playbills are helping students comprehend the complexities of the historical events we present. As a result, English Language Learners are actively participating in greater numbers.
In 2010, Theatre Espresso began an ongoing residency of American Tapestry: Immigrant Children of the Bread and Roses Strike at Lawrence Heritage State Park [LHSP] Visitors Center. Each year, every fifth-grader in Lawrence Public Schools participates in the play. In January 2012, the company received a "Challenge America" grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for a one-time extension of the Lawrence residency to coincide with the centennial of the Bread and Roses Strike.
Our company has presented over a dozen panels, workshops, and performances at regional and national conventions sponsored by the American Alliance for Theatre and Education and the New England Theatre Conference [NETC]. In 1996, our drama Justice at War won a Moss Hart 'Outstanding Production' Award from NETC, and TE also received NETC's Regional "Excellence in Theatre Award" in 2012.
In March 2013, we celebrated our 20th Anniversary at an event, where we were honored by State and Boston City officials, and received an Official Citation from the State Senate in recognition of our "dedication in bringing history to life for students in the Commonwealth." A chapter about Theatre Espresso entitled "Theatre-in-Education as Catalyst for Civic Dialogue" was published in the 3rd edition of Learning Through Theatre, London: Routledge (2013). Our work is documented in Theatre in Education in Britain (Methuen 2016) as one of two U.S. companies that successfully utilize TIE in a chapter examining "International Perspectives and Influence."
Theatre Espresso has become an inspiration to other companies. In February 2016, the award-winning Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, produced our play The Trial of Anthony Burns, about a fugitive slave case in Boston that resonated with the region's local history and current events. The production was so successful that they decided to open their next season with The Nine Who Dared, our play about the integration of Central High School in Little Rock.
In 2016 we joined Actors' Equity Association, the union for professional actors. In May 2017, Theatre Espresso celebrated our 25th anniversary at historic Faneuil Hall. Now in our 26th season, students and teachers confirm that our plays are more relevant than ever.

"I have always identified with and been fascinated by the vital and vibrant black community in Princeton. And though I have been blessed to experience the best of Princeton University, my memories of the great Paul Robeson and the courageous Bruce Wright keep me in touch with the worst of Princeton's often overlooked recent past."
Cornel West
When one thinks of Princeton, New Jersey, visions of the hallowed halls of one of the greatest learning institutions in the United States comes to mind, but rarely does the name cause one to think of the African-American experience. Katheryn Watterson's novel, "I Hear My People Singing," will change how you look at Princeton. Motivated to bring the historical stories of struggle and strife to light, Watterson gives readers a unique and rarely discussed the view of the Black experience in Princeton, N.J.
Watterson records the memories of over 50 African-Americans, and in their words, they share various snippets of their lives in Princeton. The stories told navigates segregation, war, and the Civil Rights era. One thing that becomes quickly and abundantly clear, as you read these narratives, is that living in Princeton, did not afford them escape from the harsh realities of the time. Their experiences and lessons from that era, are inextricably tied to those of their brothers and sisters nationwide.
In one passage of the book, participants share stories of attending newly segregated schools and the challenges that presented. In other stories, retired soldiers and officers reflect on their choices to serve the country. Who knew that black police officers in Princeton were not allowed in patrol cars until 1962?
The reflections of these Princetonians resonate within the reader, and their previously unheard voices have earned them a place in the ranks of those who have paved the way for the rest of us. I Hear My People Singing gives those voices a medium that in this time of unsung heroes and hidden figures is a reminder to each of us of the ties that bind.
Lest we forget.

Leslie here.
It's kind of fitting that my husband, who is cool and nice and sweet and generally seems to like me most of the time, was the one to wake me up just now and tell me about the sad passing of B.B. King, blues pioneer, showman, diabetes awareness spokesman and namesake of a chain that sells the world's best fried pickles. And that's because although I'll always remember him as all those things, he will also always be the guy who's concert marked the bittersweet coda of the worst relationship I ever had.
I will not bore you with the details – let's just say that I was younger, dumber and desperate to mean something to someone in a guy-girl situation, and this man was wrong, wrong, wrong for me, like big blinding billboard so bright you can't sleep at night WRONG WRONG WRONG. But he liked me OK, and so that was close enough. Until it wasn't.
There is a line from a Patti Griffin song that goes "Ain't no talking to this man, he's been trying to tell me so," and indeed he did all the time. He used to break up with me all the time, sometimes to be cruel but mostly because he knew something I couldn't see, that we were WRONG WRONG WRONG and toxic and incompatible and blech. This is the guy who was so wrong for me that one of my best friends used to make me take him to dinner every time I got back to together with that guy because "When you get sick of paying for my food you will stop going back to that guy."
So after a lot of really gross breakups over maybe 8 months, dotted with too few oasis-like moments of happiness, or whatever fake carbon copy of happiness I'd settled for, it finally ended, to the and delight and relief of my friends, my daddy and my wallet, because I was getting sick of buying that one buddy dinner all the time. I think it started with him offering to help me move and not showing up, and then offering to come over for dinner that night and me sitting on the steps with the cordless (yes, a landline!) for an hour watching the car lights that weren't his pass by until I knew I was just a cliche from an '80s movie and went inside. Fortunately, I did not then sit in the freezing cold in my furniture-less living room in front of a giant and unexplained painting of Billy Idol's head, because that would be weird.
And then I went to his apartment and begged him to talk to me and he wouldn't even walk me to the door and I said "You'd walk a hooker to the door if only to make sure she didn't steal anything, so I'm never coming back" and he was like "Don't believe it," and I was like "If I ever start to I will remember this moment you made me feel like less than a hooker and stop myself" and then Carly Simon started singing about running rivers and the new Jerusalem in my head and that was that.
That was, until I don't know how long later…a couple months maybe…of judiciously avoiding each other at work, and he came over to my desk and said "Streeter, you wanna go see B.B. King with me?" And it was clear for both of us that this was not a date – I got the feeling I was his last resort, like he bought them for someone else and he couldn't find anyone else to go. The show was in Philadelphia, about two hours away and I had a moment of panic – this was a person who made me feel as low as anyone ever has, with my permission, and I was a crazy psycho toxic person to him as well, and what would we talk about?
But then I thought about being an adult, and I remember looking at him across the newsroom and trying to conjure any attraction, any gasp of that craziness that used to make me throw all common sense and self-preservation to the winds, and…nothing. Maybe this is what being grown-up looked liked. I felt I had put it all behind me, but going to this show with him and getting through it without incident would be a nice coda. So I said yes, sure, and it was really casual, and we were both overly emphatic on the platonic nature of the event. It was so long ago I can't remember a lot of it, but I know we had dinner, and there was a conversation in the car – I think sitting outside the restaurant? – in which somebody said "So we're cool, right?" and the other one said "Yes" and there were apologies and nods and some brief wave of relief and the understanding that it would not be quite so weird for the rest of the evening, because we still had a whole concert and a ride home to get through.
The show was great, but long. I tend to fall asleep around 9, no matter what's going on – friends call me Narcoleslie – and after Bobby "Blue" Bland's set, and then BB, I remember nodding off, and the guy elbowing me during "The Thrill Is Gone" and saying "You are missing this and you better wake up." So many years later, it seems to have been that he knew this was our final thing, and he had taken a gamble that we could do this as adults and not be insane and I was ruining the closure by falling asleep. I remember how impressed I was with King, because at that point he was already elderly, sitting down a lot. But he talked, and he laughed, and when he held Lucille and closed his eyes and wailed, I felt a jolt of genius and inspiration that kept me awake.
Until the ride home, where I nodded off probably immediately after the seat belt clicked. I remember the guy nudging me awake, parked across from my house, the one whose steps he'd left me sitting on like an idiot, and saying, jokingly but quite emphatically, "Alright, get out," because he wanted to make sure that this was not our old dance, that we were not gonna kiss or hug or have some sort of anything that was anything other than a goodbye. The girly inth of me that watches too many movies was, even then, a little taken aback because that girly part likes being kissed goodnight, but the other parts of me wrestled the girly part to the ground and slapped her around and bound her in the corner until we could all get out of the car.
That was the last time we did anything just the two of us – months later we were part of a group that went to see a band in Baltimore, an hour away, and we talked about the girl he'd fallen in love with across the country, who he moved away to marry, and I talked about whatever loser I was losering with at the moment. And it was even more final, but more relaxed, and happy and goofy and something like friendship. It was a huge relief to me, a huge sigh, a thing to put behind me, which is weird because I didn't usually deal with things that well.
That was it. But it wouldn't have happened without B.B. King. Thanks for helping me act like a grown-up.

Nicolas Ivanoff of France won the second Red Bull Air Race of the season in San Diego on Sunday with a superb run in the finals.
Britains Paul Bonhomme took second place in front of 55,000 spectators watching the race over San Diego Bay under bright blue skies 1.11 seconds behind Ivanoff.
This was one of the most exciting events I attended all year in SD.
These pilots are unbelievable. If you get a chance, don't miss an air show.
These planes ripping around San Diego Bay were so cool. My dad and I can't wait for this to come back. Beyond fun.

4. Pair jealous
The team of researchers from the University of Guelph, Canada, found that the use of Facebook increases jealous spouse. They found that the more one spends time online on social networking sites and see their partner, the very high level of suspicion.
5. Makes many parents fall in love
Ofcom, the communications regulator making body, found more middle-aged people who are members of social networking sites like Facebook. It shows the phenomenon of social networking sites have "grown", with users aged 35 to 54 rose by 25 percent during the year 2009.
6. Make users feel unattractive
Millions of Facebook users say avoid menggunggah photos and delete names from a variety of photos, because they feel too fat, old or ugly. That's according to a survey company that produces weight loss, LighterLife, in 2000 people.
7. Revealing personal life
Many people who display personal photos on Facebook without realizing the dangers that are on him. Like the case of the wife of a head of the British secret agent, Sir John Sawers, displaying pictures of his family in detail in Facebook while on vacation with his family.

I need to calculate the area enclosed in a two-dimensional listplot and following an answer to a similar question I tried this way:
imgnorm = (mnorm =
ListLinePlot[{list}, ImageSize -> Large, Axes -> False]],
0.5]]) // Colorize
listareas = {area1 = 1/. ComponentMeasurements[{mnorm, imgnorm}, "Area"], area2 = 2/. ComponentMeasurements[{mnorm, imgnorm}, "Area"]}
It works fine, however it is not precise enough for what I need to do because part of the area is taken by the black line.
The list is quite big and the points don't form a polygon.
EDIT: Here is the plot:
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Short, concise description of the idea
Folders are needed to organize Messages in Live Journal.
Full description of the idea
For years now I have been at Live Journal, and I have finally had enough of not being able to easily organize all the messages that come into my inbox, or Messages folder into certain categories.
I have over 1,000 messages many of which I do not want to lose.
it would greatly ease my burdeon to be abel to go straight to some folder that I have created rather then having to search through years worth of messages just so I can re-read some story, or look some bit of information up.
I hope I'm not the only one who feels like this would be a good idea, but I understand if I am.
- - No more hunting through one massive list just to get to one entry that was posted years ago.
- - Ability to go straight to what you are looking for.
- - No more getting lost and finding out that there are messages after messages that should have been deleted but instead are buried; simply because there is no easy way to just pop (or go straight) to them.
- - No more having important old messages just disappear simply because they were at the end of the pile and there was no more room for them.
- - No more losing messages because you can't get to them quickly.
- - No more losing messages because you can't find them.
- - No more getting lost in your own Messages "inbox", simply because there are to many to hunt through.
- - No more losing an important message because it's buried on god knows what page, and it will take the better part of a day hunting through all the messages just to access it.
- I could go on but I think I'll cut it off here. ;-D
- None that I can think of other then your new folders become far to full also.
- -- I don't know about band width; But would it take more server power, or room, what have you, to allow people (the free accounts esp. which is what I have) to actually have folders? (I sincerely hope not.)
- -- If it takes more bandwidth it would be nice if we could at least have labels, then. Instead. Or just some way so that we wouldn't have to hunt through an over packed Messages, thing; just to get to one story, writing piece, what have you.
Well, thank you for your time and I hope that my suggestion is considered.

First, thanks to Birk Thomas . . . Ice River currently in Philadelphia. Here's the reefer fleet list.
And thanks to Mike Abegg, Alice Oldendorff, currently in the sixth boro, the vessel that started this blog over 2000 posts ago.
Also, still in port, Asopus.
And just out of the repair dock, it's Stena Primorsk, having spent weeks in or around the harbor.
And finally . . . NYK Joanna leaves town yesterday. Watch between tug and ship, starboard side,
here, for what has to be one
of the more dangerous jobs on the water.
It's the docking pilot leaving the vessel as it heads for sea.
Perusal of the NYK fleet shows names like Mark Twain and William Shakespeare. I'd love to see them come to town.
Unless otherwise attributed, all fotos by will Van Dorp. Thanks here to Birk Thomas and Mike Abegg.

All fotos taken from my KVK offices this morning.
Afterthought: Do you suppose Patchogue is unilaterally annexing NYC's sixth boro?

A Glimpse of My 2016
CL's learning the Visayan dialect now and I'm really amazed that she's learning fast. She's even more adept than her dad. Lol!
CL had an accident that injured her right arm. I'll right about it more in the next few days. She also lost her two bottom front teeth and finally welcomed her first pair of permanent teeth.
I took a set back on making fabric flowers and focused more on practicing my calligraphy skills. I tried different writing medium and discovered I'm more in love with dip pens and watercolors.
Me, my daughter, and especially by husband has finally adjusted our life in this small island of Bohol.

Eight Pasifika artists will provide images for 2mx1m lightboxes that will stand like beacons in Beresford Lane during the first week of October
The project, funded by Auckland Council and delivered in partnership with TAUTAI, is a part of Artweek Auckland.
The two-sided lightboxes in the central city location will feature a range of media, with artists of Pacific heritage shining a light on the world they live in.
The subjects explored are diverse and include the value we place upon labour, how the natural environment shapes cultural motifs, the impact of experiences growing up, our connections to family and community, and the mundane materiality that underlines cultural productivity.
The featured artists are:
Asinate Moa, Siliga David Setoga, Shane Tuihalangingie, Edith Amituanai, Chris Charteris, Raymond Sagapolutele, Salome Tanuvasa and Matavai Taulangau.
Learn more about some of the featured artists below:
Matavai Taulangau from Mt Roskill
About me:
Brought up in a typically large Tongan family, every individual contributes to the stability of our daily living. So from a young age I was surrounded by 'work'. It was only natural that I would witness hard work and struggle throughout the household. I acknowledge and appreciate the lessons taught to me whilst growing up in such an environment where sacrifices were made to benefit each other.
My Work:
I take interest in the idea of labour, particularly focusing in my community and culture. By observing the 'work life' with a documentary approach I hope to draw out certain socio-political issues that affect my community. I explore the values in the activities of production and its history; while observing traditions and aspects that are associated with it that seem to be highly acknowledged. I am interested in how these productions benefit and affect the sustainability of the culture.
About my involvement in Artweek:
With Artweek I shine a light on what isn't so much recognized and acknowledged.
Chris Charteris from the Coromandel Peninsula
"This is not about culture, it is all about culture.
"It's not about the environment but it is about the environment. It's not about the shells. It is about the patterns we derive our cultural forms from." – Chris
Raymond Sagapolutele from Manurewa
"I am the son of migrant Samoan parents, working as a freelance photographer, and studying to complete an MVA at AUT. My work is based around my experiences as an Aotearoa born Samoan and the themes and stories that punctuate my upbringing and connections to my aiga and wider circle of friends.
"With Artweek I see this as an opportunity to work within the narrative of communicating with the wider audience of Tamaki Makaurau." – Raymond
Salome Tanuvasa from Mount Wellington & Panmure
About me and my art:
I am a Samoan Tongan artist living in Auckland born and raised in Aotearoa. My art practice deals with materials from spaces around me, I then formulate actions with these materials to perceive a new understanding around the process of language.
My involvement in Artweek:
I have extended my drawing practice around mark making, playing with office supplies and the mundane materiality that underlines cultural productivity.
Edith Amituanai from Ranui, West Auckland

Today, John Gruber said that "the only people who aren't using Dropbox are those who haven't tried it," and I have to agree. Dropbox is an ingenious application that syncs your files with just about anything or anyone. I've been using Dropbox since it was a closed beta, and it has quickly become one of the most useful apps on my Mac. It's difficult to sum up all of the amazing things that Dropbox does in one short post. Instead, here are my top 3 reasons to use it:
- Free, Reliable Backup: Dropbox gives you 2GB of space to sync your files to your online account, your iPhone, and any other computer you wish. Change a file on one computer, and the changes are reflected everywhere else.
- Simple Sharing: Dropbox lets you easily share entire folders with other Dropbox users, and files with anyone else. Place a file in your public folder, and Dropbox will give you a public link to paste anywhere you like.
- Painless Revision Control: Dropbox keeps old versions of the files in your Dropbox folder for up to 30 days. Open a file in your Dropbox and save it. Each time you change it and save it, Dropbox will store a the old copy for you, just in case you want to revert back.
There's a whole lot more you can do with Dropbox, but those are the three main reasons I swear by it. So go sign up for a Dropbox account today, and if you'd like to get an additional 250MB on top of your free 2GB, use my referral link.

Stephen Brink
integrated circuit design, neural computation, neuromorphic engineering, analog signal processing, floating-gate transistor arrays
Stephen grew up in Arizona and studied bioengineering at Arizona State University before coming to Georgia Tech.
The basic goal of neuromorphic engineering is to create electronic systems that behave like neural systems in biology. Such systems will be useful tools for neural interfacing, for biologically inspired signal processing, and for the neuroscience community's search for fundamental understanding of neural information processing. The investigator will present the first neuromorphic hardware system to allow spiking network simulation using biophysically inspired neuron models and floating-gate based single transistor learning synapses (STLS). These architectural features allow good biological fidelity and silicon area efficiency, which will enable an aggressive roadmap for scaling the neuromorphic system's ability to model larger neural systems. The specific aims of the proposed work are threefold. The first aim is to use the above neuromorphic system to perform network simulations of several network architectures that have well-understood computational properties. These simulations will be done without synaptic plasticity in order to gain an understanding of the electrophysiological fidelity of the system at a network level. The second aim is to study the role of synaptic plasticity in those same architectures, and to assess the ways in which the computation performed by the networks is improved by this learning process. The third aim is to perform an experimental study of floating-gate transistor adaptation outside the context of a spiking network in order to gain insight into principles for design of floating-gate based adaptation in both neuromorphic systems and other computational analog hardware.

Agriculture and Forestry
The overall purpose of the global agriculture and forestry industries is to feed, clothe, and shelter our world, which has an ever-expanding population with shifting dietary needs and increased energy demands. To that end, ag and forestry equipment needs to deliver more than just a means to plant, nurture, and harvest crops and timber.
On the farm or in the forest, comfort and control are keys to productivity and profitability. Parker's Accumulators and Coolers provide superior operator comfort for improved working conditions and precise control for optimum machinery performance. With Parker on the inside, farmers and loggers get the consistent performance needed for maximum yields. Because of variances in performance demands, cooler and accumulators on agriculture and forestry equipment can often require customized solutions. No matter the location of your forestry or agriculture application, Parker is just around the corner due to our vast distribution network. The products manufactured by Parker's Accumulator and Cooler Division are supported by our global engineering and manufacturing facilities and the industry's largest network of channel partners that provide local supply and support. From forestry to farming and earth moving equipment, Parker has products and solutions for improving performance, emissions and fuel economy.
Accumulators Specifically Designed for Agriculture and Forestry
Companies within the agriculture and forestry industries face multiple challenges in today's economic environment. Feeding an expanding global population, exceed material demands, and increase outputs with fewer resources while minimizing environmental impact are just some of them. These forces drive the need for agricultural and forestry innovation, such as precision farming and harsh forestry conditions, generate a demand for technologically advanced farming and forestry equipment. Accumulator manufacturers respond in turn with technology, offering innovative accumulators for hydraulic systems which boost productivity working in tandem with a more efficient, cleaner operating machine.
Reliable Oil Coolers for Agricultural Machinery and Forestry
Heat kills hydraulic systems. That's why hydraulic oil coolers with AC, DC and hydraulic motors, and such as Parker's Industrial Coolers (Series AC) and Mobile Coolers (Series DC) are widely used in a diverse range of agricultural machinery components, tractors and other forestry applications. They remove excess heat generated by energy losses in a system, as well as that from external sources such as engines and surrounding environment.

The AP reports:
Pacers president Larry Bird is urging fans to remain patient through the team's struggles.
Indiana enters the All-Star break with an 18-34 record, well out of the playoff race after missing the postseason for the past three seasons. Last month, some players were openly wondering if their "weak-minded" defense could be righted and attendance woes have been a problem now for years, along with assorted off-the-court issues.
Yet Bird says the rebuilding phase that began when the Pacers traded Ron Artest in 2006 is on target, and will move into high gear after next season when the team gets salary cap space.
"We knew that we had to clean it out and rebuild it, and we knew we were going to go through some tough times," Bird told The Associated Press this week. "Nobody likes to lose, and everybody wants to be a part of a winner. We think we're on the right track to get there."

Adds a lovely finishing touch to the bath and is good that you can adjust the height to get a seamless finish.
"Very sturdy, excellent. Made my bath look new."
High quality product both in my opinion and that of my professional bathroom fitter. Excellent price and available in the 1800mm length we needed.
The bath panels were of excellent quality and they will certainly enhance the overall appearance of the bathroom.
Just as it says on the tin!
Matches nicely with the vanity unit and bath looks expensive and was reasonably priced.
"Nice, solid bath panel that doesn't 'bend' when cleaning."
Good quality product and easy to install having made adjustments to fit bath size.
Seems much sturdier than the plastic panel it replaced. Lovely high gloss finish.

Sparkling Sydney kicks off glitzy global 2014 party
(SYDNEY-AFP) – Sydney kicked off a promised unprecedented spectacular to mark New Year celebrations Tuesday, the first in a wave of pyrotechnics to usher in 2014 from Hong Kong to world record-chasing Dubai.
Tonnes of explosives were set to light up Australia's biggest city, with fireworks shooting off the Opera House for the first time in more than 10 years as part of the December 31 extravaganza, focused on the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore said the Aus$6 million show ($5.4 million), themed "Shine", was expected to attract 1.6 million spectators.
"We are ready to host the world's best New Year's Eve on the world's most beautiful harbour," Moore told reporters earlier in the day.
The first of a record three fireworks displays took place three hours before midnight, as part of the show Moore promised would be "bigger than ever", showering colour over Sydney Harbour.
Dubai is hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the largest display, pledging to set off more than 400,000 fireworks. Kuwait set the mark in 2011 with an hour-long blast of 77,282 fireworks.
Tonga, located near the international dateline, was one of the first nations to greet 2014, holding a prayer festival that culminates with a bamboo "cannon" fired into the air.
Cities across Asia will be next to hail the New Year, with Hong Kong boasting the biggest-ever countdown show for the Chinese city.
Fireworks will soar from skyscrapers and a one-kilometre line of barges along Victoria Harbour in a "wish upon a star" tourism board show.
In Japan, shoppers were busy buying crabs, tuna sashimi and other delicacies to feast in the New Year, with noodle shops doing an especially brisk trade.
Eating noodles on New Year's Eve is regarded in Japan as a symbolic act to wish for a long life.
Millions of people were due to visit shrines and temples through to early morning in massive, yet quiet tradition, paying their first annual respects and praying for peace for relatives.
However, in areas ravaged by Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, celebrations were muted.
In Tacloban, which bore the brunt of the November 8 storm, officials were preparing a midnight fireworks display to try to boost spirits, despite nearly 8,000 dead or missing.
Aid agencies are also organising free concerts or distributing food for the traditional New Year's Eve dinner, an AFP reporter said.
In the small, ruined farming village of San Isidro, residents are still grappling with the overpowering stench of death as 1,400 corpses stacked in black body bags lay in a field, more than seven weeks after the tragedy.
Seoul will ring in 2014 with a ritual clanging of the city's 15th-century bronze bell 33 times, reflecting the ancient practice for marking a new year.
In Singapore, people will flock to the financial district for fireworks while thousands of white spheres will be launched to bob on Marina Bay, holding residents' wishes for 2014.
Jakarta has set up 12 city centre stages for performances to showcase the vast archipelago's kaleidoscope of cultures.
However, 6,500 police will be out to ensure security amid warnings that extremists in the Muslim-majority nation may target the celebrations, prompting travel warnings from countries including neighbouring Australia.
In Indonesia's sharia stronghold of Banda Aceh, Islamic police seized thousands of firecrackers and cardboard trumpets after the city administration banned New Year's Eve celebrations for the first time.
"There should be no activity whatsoever to celebrate the turn of the year," senior Banda Aceh sharia police official Reza Kamilin said after the clerical Ulema Consultative Assembly said New Year's celebrations or wishing someone "Merry Christmas" was "haram" (forbidden) in the city.
In Mumbai, revellers celebrated a court victory over the local police force, which pushed back closing time in bars and restaurants to 5:00 am instead of 1:30 am.
Last year India cancelled most of its official New Year's celebrations after the fatal gangrape of a student on a New Delhi bus on December 16, which sparked protests and a year of introspection about women's rights.
In Rio de Janeiro, authorities are predicting 2.3 million people — a third of them tourists — will crowd Copacabana Beach for fireworks and pop music.
Major spectaculars will also light up Moscow's Red Square, Berlin's Brandenburg Gate and central London when Big Ben chimes midnight.
An expected one million revellers will gather in New York to mark the stroke of midnight and the traditional New Year's Eve ball-drop over Times Square.
Cape Town will have a free concert with fireworks and a 3D tribute to Nelson Mandela who died on December 5.
Images from the anti-apartheid hero's life will be projected onto City Hall where he gave his first speech after release from 27 years in prison in 1990.

The normally jovial rapper Wyclef Jean is in a reflective mood. It might be to do with the late night he had, working with Tom Jones on the Welsh legend's latest album. Or it might be to do with having to spend the day discussing the subject matter of his new album Masquerade, reflecting on the sudden death of his father last year.
Despite his mood, the 29-year-old is still the consummate performer, breaking up the interview with the occasional rhyme which he seems to find an easier way to explain himself.
"When I lost my father I felt like life was a masquerade," he says. "So this album is the story of my life, from when I was in the projects in Brooklyn to me playing at Carnegie Hall in New York with my dad there.
"There's romance as well with Two Wrongs (Don't Make A Right) then, boom, death comes. When that happens I look back at those tracks before and they look like a masquerade to me. I'm thinking, `There's got to be more to life than this'."
Jean's father Gesner was killed instantly last year when a car he was fixing collapsed on top of him.
"It made me realise that life is really short, you never know what's going to happen," he says. "Death is very simple and quick, but that's a masquerade to me. There's got to be something more to life than just death. The truth is what's on the other side, death is just a masquerade hiding that truth."
Jean has always been a thinking man after being brought up by his father, who was a pastor, and his grandfather, a voodoo priest.
The family lived in Haiti but while Jean's father left for New York to find them all a better life, he was left under the watch of his grandfather.
"My grandfather was deep but he didn't get on with my father," remembers Jean. "I grew up as a Nazarene because of my father, but I also grew up with Moslems, Christians, Buddhists. I read everything so I'm a spiritualist, but I respect every form of religion."
When he was nine, his family fled their dirt-poor existence in Haiti to settle in Brooklyn, New York. Jean's album is full of tales of his time there.
"People get to know my youth and the way I came up," he says. "I was a hustler, I sold drugs, but there was a voice in my head saying, `Stick with the music side, you'll be okay'. It was right because if I'd stayed on that side I'd be dead." It's Jean's third solo album since the deterioration of his successful hip-hop act The Fugees. Their second album, The Score, sold 17 million copies, but internal conflict has meant Jean and fellow Fugees Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel have never followed it up.
It was an affair between Jean and Hill that started the fall-out, as it led to a bitter rivalry between Jean and Rohan Marley, son of Bob and now Hill's husband. Although the affair did not cause Jean's marriage to his Haitian wife to break up, it did spell the end for The Fugees.
"I hope there's another Fugees album," says Jean. "Fugees was great and there's a lot more potential there."
For now Jean is happy doing what he does best - making music. A deft producer with a keen ear for any genre, he's collaborated with a diverse range of artists. Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Bono, Charlotte Church and Destiny's Child have all worked with him.
His latest project is the new Tom Jones album, a match which might seem unlikely. Jean says it's going well.
"We've just got Tom being Tom and we're just doing what we do.
"We're not giving him a hardcore rap beat or anything, but he's funking it up."

Hi loves,
As you may have noticed – if you are active in social media in any way – mom jeans are all over again, which I really love. They are so much comfier than skinny jeans, they are so fun to style, and they remind me of friends, which is soo great, because honestly, is there anything better than Rachel Green's style? Despite of that, when I got my first mom jeans, I had some difficulties to combine them. And since they are so popular now, I thought I'd show you my favorite ways to wear them for some inspiration, at least I hope so.
The simple one
You know how one of the style guide lines is to combine a wider shirt to a tight jeans? This one works here too, only the other way around. I love wearing mom jeans to simple light long sleeves or t-shirts, it is like the most basic combination ever. Suiting this, I like to just add a pair of sneakers, but you can totally pep it up with some printed jeans or fancy slippers too.
The Top is from brandy melville (it's one of my favorites lately), the jeans are ASOS, the are mom fitted, I swear, if they don't look like this here it's probably because they were freshly washed and (more probable) I ate a lot of pizza and ice cream this week…
I love the combination of a white Shirt and blue jeans with sneakers so much! The top is from only, the shoes are Adidas, the jeans are ZARA.
The top is hollister, the shoes are ZARA
The top is double agent, the jeans are topshop, the shoes are dune
The striped one
Stripes are the best, they literally go with anything, same for mom jeans. Besides, they add a little fun to the basic outfit, if you feel like going crazy, haha. I even wear my flower printed mom jeans with a striped shirt, I don't know why, but it works.
The top is from h&m, the shoes are vintage.
The Shirt is from brandy melville, love this one.
The Shirt is second-hand ZARA.
The pullover
Especially during colder seasons (autumn I love you), I really like wearing pullovers with mom jeans. I don't think (or at least lets pretend) that you can go comfier than with the combination of pullover and mom jeans.
The pullover is from ZARA, it's the best one on earth, I swear.
The pullover is from ZARA (new collection), it's my favorite one for fall.
The pullover is my mom's (ups), the shoes are from Call it Spring (via ASOS)
The cropped one
With pretty much every mom jeans being high waisted, you can't go wrong with a crop top. And if you're anyway like me, you may have a bunch of cropped tops you never wear in the back of the closet, because they don't really work with other trousers – well now is the perfect opportunity.
The top is ZARA (do I shop there too often?)
The top is Urban outfitters (it's my sisters, creds to her, I borrow way too much), the shoes are supergas.
The fancy one
Because they don't really underline ones feminine side (even if they are called mom jeans, haha), I would love wearing them with something a little fancier, especially because I really like wearing different styles mixed together. Give me some heels, a clutch and a blouse with the mom jeans and I am totally happy. The combination of mom jeans and heels is just so great, I can't wait to wear it. Now I just have to find an occasion, which fancy enough for a seventeen year old to wear high heels to, life is so hard.
The top is from american vintage, the shoes are ZARA (I do shop there too often, I get it).
I hope you like the combinations, write me how you wear your jeans the most! By the way, if you are looking for a new mom jeans, I would recommend MOTO Top shop (via ASOS) they have great ones, or ZARA, they are rather cheap but also great there. Happy combining! Xx, Franka

Chinese vice foreign minister Fu Ying said Beijing was ready for "any escalation" of a tense maritime standoff with the Philippines over a disputed shoal.
The month-long flare-up is one of the most high-profile incidents for years between the two countries over their competing territorial claims to parts of the South China Sea, which is believed to sit atop vast oil and gas deposits.
"The Chinese side has... made all preparations to respond to any escalation of the situation by the Philippine side," Fu told a Philippine diplomat Monday, according to a statement posted on China's foreign ministry website Tuesday.
The two countries have been locked in the row since April 8, when Beijing's vessels blocked a Philippine warship from arresting crews of Chinese fishing boats near the disputed Scarborough Shoal -- or Huangyan island in Chinese.
Both Beijing and Manila have ships in the area, racking up tensions in the region.
Currently, four Chinese surveillance ships and 10 fishing boats have anchored off the disputed shoal, facing off against two Philippine coastguard ships and a fisheries bureau vessel.
On Monday, Fu summoned Alex Chua, charge d'affaires at the Philippine embassy in China, so that she could make a "serious representation" over the situation, according to the statement.
"It is obvious that the Philippine side has not realised that it is making serious mistakes and instead is stepping up efforts to escalate tensions," she told him.
"The Philippine side... repeatedly made erroneous remarks which misled the public in the Philippines and the international community, played up the public feelings, thus severely damaging the atmosphere of the bilateral relations between China and the Philippines.
"Therefore, it is hard for us to be optimistic about the situation."
The Philippines argues the shoal is well within the country's 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, as recognised by international law.
But Beijing claims almost the whole of the South China Sea as its historical territory, even waters close to other countries' coasts and hundreds of kilometres from its own landmass.
Manila last week vowed to show restraint in the standoff.
"We do not wish to escalate any tensions right now," President Benigno Aquino's spokesman told reporters.
"Therefore, what we're doing for now is to just to document the situation... and consequently, raise it before the (international) tribunals."
Fu said Monday Chinese government vessels would "continue to be on alert" near the shoal and urged the Philippines to withdraw its own ships, but she stressed Beijing still wanted to seek a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
A commentary in the overseas version of the People's Daily -- the ruling Communist Party's mouthpiece -- concurred, but warned that the Philippines should not "view China's goodwill as a sign of weakness".
"We have enough wisdom and means when facing with such rivals to subdue the enemy without fighting and make them stop," it said.

A 55-year-old "non-pregnant" patient from DeSoto who traveled recently to El Salvador is the fourth person to test positively for infection with the Zika virus in Dallas County, the county's Health and Human Services Department said Tuesday.
Of the four Dallas cases so far confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two others also have involved patients who traveled to areas where the mosquito-borne virus has spread rapidly over the past year — Honduras and Venezuela. The fourth was transmitted via sexual contact, the county health agency said.
The patient's symptoms in the case reported Tuesday have resolved. In adults, the Zika virus often produces no symptoms or a relatively mild rash, fever or joint pain, but it is suspected of contributing to a reported increase in the number of cases in Brazil of microcephaly, a birth defect that results in incomplete brain and head development for infants. Researchers also have uncovered evidence that a Zika infection might trigger Guillain-Barré syndrome, a form of temporary paralysis that has spiked in South and Central American countries where the virus has gained a foothold.

The Pan American Health Organization issued an alert regarding the first confirmed Zika virus infections in Brazil in 2015, the CDC says, and while cases of local transmission by mosquitoes have been reported in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Samoa, Zika has not found its way into the mosquito population in the states, though the growing number of imported cases could allow for the virus to spread locally in some areas in the United States.
Zika is transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, a common pest in Dallas. This year's mild winter promises a bumper crop of mosquitoes, and Trey McCord, owner of Mosquito Squad Of Dallas, expects the combination of more mosquitoes and worries about Zika to boost interest in his company's services.
"This is probably going to shape up to be a pretty bad year," McCord says. Mosquitoes live even in cold climates, but for Dallas, the early arrival of spring means the mosquito season is going to be that much longer. He charges customers with a 1/2-acre or less $69 per visit for a package covering a season's worth of mosquito treatments, usually about 16 between April and October. The mosquitoes never really went away this winter, though, and he said it looks like the season is already here.

About two years ago (2011), while at my in-laws house to celebrate Christmas and New Years, I was taking a nap on their couch when I knew I needed help. I tried calling for help, but I couldn't form the words. All I really remember is shaking uncontrollably and feeling like my face was trying to tie itself into knots (Sorry, I know that is not a very good description, but that is the best I can do). Although I do have vague memories of traveling to the hospital, I do not have continuous memories until entering the hospital.
There we learned three things. One, I had a seizure. Two, they confirmed that I was pregnant for the third time. Three, I had a mass in my brain, but they were unwilling to do a MRI because of the pregnancy. After already having two miscarriages, I wanted to rejoice about being pregnant, but I was scared about a mass in my brain.
We did the only thing we knew, and that was pray and ask others to pray. The next few months felt like years. On February 4th, I did miscarry our child. I fought feelings of immense pain and loss, all the while being grateful that we could search for answers about the mass in my brain. On March 5, 2012, I had my first brain surgery. About a week later, we learned my tumor was a oligoastrocytoma grade 2. We also learned that although it is not technically considered cancerous, it was likely to come back and maybe return as cancer.
There are so many lessons God taught me through this time, and I plan on sharing some of them with you in the future. Right now, I want to say thank you to the many people who have prayed for us. No, God did not remove all of the difficulties in our lives, but He provided the strength to survive. God provided in so many ways like money to pay for the medical bills. He also provided friends, family, and even strangers for support and a surgeon with the reputation of being one of the best (I didn't even have work to get him). God does answer our prayers.

Our citizenship and sustainability practices are an important part of those responsibilities outlined in Our Credo, and we take this work very seriously.
We impact health everywhere we go and in everything we do, which is why we've been setting environmental goals for nearly 30 years, and broader Citizenship & Sustainability goals since 2010. Our latest set of five-year Citizenship & Sustainability goals continues to build on this legacy.
In Novo Nordisk, we are driving change to defeat diabetes and other serious chronic conditions. Diabetes poses one of today's biggest global health challenges. We work for a future where fewer people get diabetes, everyone with diabetes is diagnosed, and everyone who is diagnosed receives adequate treatment and can live a life with as few limitations as possible.
Since the company was founded in Denmark more than 90 years ago, we have been changing diabetes. This heritage has given us experience and capabilities that also enable us to help people defeat other serious chronic conditions: haemophilia, growth disorders and obesity. Our ambition is to take the lead in each of these areas, driving change with an unfailing belief that it can be done. Our key contribution is to discover and develop better biological medicines, manufacture them to meet increasing global demand and make them accessible wherever they are needed. We are committed to finding the next generation of medicines and long-term investments in innovation have made us experts in the field of modern biotechnology.
Producing life-saving medicines is a significant responsibility: millions of people depend on us. However, to defeat a serious chronic condition, we need to do more than supply the right medicine. This is why we work in partnerships with patients, policymakers, healthcare professionals and non-governmental organisations to raise awareness, improve prevention, promote earlier diagnosis and expand access to care. We have built our business on the conviction that the formula for lasting success is to stay focused, think long-term and do business in a financially, socially and environmentally responsible way. www.novonordisk.com

The fundamental basis of an employment contract is that the individual will work, and the employer will pay them for their labour. If the individual is unable to work, through no fault of their own, then the contract may be frustrated. In that case, the employer is not terminating the employee's employment, and the employee is not resigning. Rather, the contract simply comes to an end.
How long does an employer have to be on medical or disability leave before you can terminate their employment? That is a question we are asked all the time, and the answer is that there is no simple answer. What is clear, though, is that this is an issue that is fraught with risk. If you get it wrong, you expose yourself to tremendous risk.
Employers are often scared to ask for medical information, fearing that they will be in breach of the employee's privacy rights. We will work with you to navigate this minefield, and explain your right to obtain appropriate medical information so you can assess the situation properly. You do not have to accept the employee's word, nor do you have to tolerate an employee who goes off on leave and then disappears; employees on leave must remain regular contact with their employer.
It is important for employers to understand that eligibility for disability benefits and entitlement to medical leave are two very different concepts. It is entirely possible that an employee will not be entitled to disability benefits, but will still be disabled in the sense that they cannot return to work. Employers have a duty to accommodate the disabled worker to the point of undue hardship. This can include allowing them to remain on medical leave.
So when can an employer deem the employment contract to have been frustrated by the employee's inability to work? There are no hard and fast rules for determining when a contract of employment has been frustrated, and there are many cases in which employees have been off work for years and the courts have said that the contract had not yet been frustrated. Rather, each case will be decided based upon its own particular facts and, in particular, the medical information available. The courts will assess whether there is any reasonable likelihood that the individual will be able to return to work in the foreseeable future. If there is, then it is unlikely that the court will conclude that the contract of employment had been frustrated.
We routinely work with employers that have employees on medical leave, whether it is a brief absence or an extended period. We will help you to enforce your rights without breaching those of the employee and exposing the organization to liability.
