Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill says drug giant is "stonewalling" her opioid investigation
WASHINGTON — The world's largest generic drug maker, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, has refused to fully cooperate with a Senate investigation into whether major opioid manufacturers contributed to the deadly drug epidemic, according to Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., who is leading the Senate probe.
Teva has answered some of McCaskill's questions, providing the Senate committee with general information about its efforts to track and report suspicious orders for its opioid prescriptions, according to a series of letters between McCaskill and the company.
But Teva refused to give the senator copies of correspondence between the company and its buyers detailing efforts to combat drug diversion, and it also declined to turn over copies of any internal audits that could show whether Teva identified customers who placed questionable opioid orders. Teva, a multinational drug company based in Israel, fills one in every six prescriptions in the United States, according to the firm's website.
Various media reports have documented how millions of opioid painkillers were shipped to pharmacies across the country and then ended up on the black market — fueling the current addiction crisis.
Other major drug manufacturers have complied with the Senate probe, McCaskill said. She is the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
In two letters to McCaskill last year, Teva raised a series of objections to the inquiry, saying the senator was seeking proprietary information that could be "potentially misused in pending litigation." Teva is one of many pharmaceutical giants facing a slew of lawsuits from local and state governments, which allege the companies misled physicians and the public by marketing opioids as a safe and rarely addictive pain medication.
"In such an environment, Teva has a responsibility to be judicious in determining what documents and information to release publicly," the drug company's lawyer, James W. Matthews, said in a letter to McCaskill last fall and released by McCaskill this week.
McCaskill blasted the company Tuesday, saying Teva was "stonewalling a Senate investigation" and hampering her examination of a public health crisis that has ravaged communities across the U.S.
"Teva's refusal to cooperate with congressional requests strongly suggests they have something to hide," McCaskill said in a statement. "Teva has been an outlier throughout our investigation, and they can rest assured that I'll continue to pursue every possible avenue to get them to comply for as long as it takes."
But McCaskill's paths to pursuing Teva are limited. Despite McCaskill's urging, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, the GOP chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has refused to sign off on a subpoena to compel Teva's compliance.
Johnson said Teva had made a "good-faith effort" to answer McCaskill's questions. In a January letter to McCaskill, Johnson noted that Teva officials held an informal briefing with McCaskill's staff to detail its oversight of opioid shipments and diversion prevention efforts. The company also sent McCaskill two letters providing her with general information about its system for identifying and reporting potentially suspicious orders.
"Teva appears to have spent significant time and resources seeking to address the issues you raised," Johnson wrote in January, explaining his decision not to approve a subpoena.
Congress has become increasingly focused on the opioid epidemic in recent years, as the scourge spread to every corner of the country. Opioid-related overdoses killed more than 42,000 Americans in 2016, with 40% of those deaths involving a prescription opioid, as opposed to heroin or other forms of the drug, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose, according to the CDC.
McCaskill launched her investigation last March, seeking information from five leading opioid drug makers about their sales and marketing tactics, internal addiction studies, and donations to third-party advocacy groups, among other things. She expanded her inquiry in July to examine drug distribution after reports about diversion of opioid prescriptions to the black market. One company, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, paid $35 million last summer to settle allegations that it did not meet its obligations to report suspicious orders to the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Among other queries, McCaskill asked Teva and other drug companies about any internal programs to stop drug diversion or investigate suspicious transactions between drug distributors and pharmacies.
In its response, Teva provided McCaskill broad written responses and talked in-person to McCaskill's staff last year. "Teva has a demonstrated track record of establishing and implementing state-of-the-art systems for preventing diversion of opioid products," the firm's lawyer said in its October 2017 letter to McCaskill. "Teva has a strong track record of being a collaborative and solutions-focused partner in working with federal, state and municipal officials in our common effort to address prescription drug abuse."
But the company said it would not produce some of the specific documents McCaskill has demanded, arguing that it would not advance her efforts to examine opioid distribution and diversion prevention.
"Indeed, it seems likely that publicly disclosing specific and sensitive proprietary information about Teva's customers will chill the willingness of such customers to share information with your committee and participate in our collective efforts to address opioid abuse," Matthews wrote. And, he said, the pending lawsuits precluded Teva from complying.

The FinTech industry is experiencing significant growth in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI and Machine Learning (ML) are already quite popular in banking, credit card and auto loan niches, the mortgage industry has just started reaping its benefits. In the next couple of years, particularly after the Covid-19 pandemic, we will experience an overwhelming presence of AI-based automation in likely every aspect of mortgage processing. In fact, it will become a common practice very soon.
Regardless of how big or small your mortgage business is, it is essential to adopt modern technologies to stay afloat in this competitive market. The FinTech industry is evolving to be more customer-driven, and that is why you, as a lender, must provide a swift and friendly experience to your clientele.

Well-loved European homeware brand MADE.com has just launched its Autumn/Winter 2020 collection with an inventive mixture of textures, hues and shapes specifically designed for the time of year.
They team has even created a virtual apartment set in Amsterdam, where you can take a tour of the many rooms, soak up some inspiration and shop items as you go. Faux-real-life shopping is something I can get on-board with.
Lockdown 2.0 is here and we're needing to find comfort in our homes now more than ever. As the nights get darker and the colder months draw nearer, there's no better time to use this changing of season as an excuse to give your home a warm hug in the form of an interior re-style.
There's three statement trends to be taken from the AW20 MADE.com collection; Nordic Move On, Luxe Maximalist and The New Soft. Here's what you need to know…
Nordic Move On
Elements of the Scandi aesthetic have become widely popular recently, including the neutral calming palette, clean shapes and natural materials. MADE has put its own spin on Scandi-style bringing it to the forefront this Autumn/Winter. "We are evolving our nordic design aesthetic in this twilight inspired trend, with a collection influenced by the dark side of nature" says Design Director at MADE.com, Ruth Wasserman.
Each new piece takes influence from the changing seasons, the palette of dark blue tonal hues is inspired by the Northern seas and the "matte black stained timbers take on the look of charred wood" says Ruth Wassermann.
The deep blues are accented by ochre, plaster pink and terracotta, with accessories styled in tonal ombre and bronze. The Nordic Move On collection includes statement furniture, natural canes, subtle reactive glaze and soft, clean lighting to bring together that Scandi-vibe we know and love.
Luxe Maximalist
Isn't there just something about styling your home like a hotel we're just SO obsessed with? Luxe Maximalist does just that. It has an old-school Hollywood feel, with retro and theatrical statements inspired by the 70s disco nights.
There's bold, yet elegant materials like velvets, corduroy and fringing that bring the hotel-vibe to life. There's architectural shapes, inflated volumes, retro-style designer furniture and works of art for rugs. "It's a palette of rich pink, teal and red, combined with brass and marble accents for that uber opulent feel" says Ruth Wassermann, Design Director. Can't you just picture yourself drinking champagne, in a sequin dress, listening to Fleetwood Mac on repeat in this room?
The New Soft
When Winter is just around the corner, we just feel the need to wrap ourselves up like a burrito in a blanket and sink into the sofa for an entire season on Netflix. MADE.com is all ears when it comes to our lockdown 2.0 needs with slouchy shapes, tactile furnishings in boucle, fully recyclable velvet made for the softest and cosiest of naps.
"We have gone soft this season, inside and out! We are trying some new fillings in our upholstery collections to achieve extra sink-in appeal" Ruth Wassermann adds.
While we could happily nap our way through lockdown, the new soft fill sofa cushions, natural fabrics and large format seating are perfect for when it's finally legal to invite friends around again. The colour palette is warm and inviting for Autumn, with earthy neutral tones like warm terracotta and olive green. "As we all spend more time at home, we are craving comfort. My advice is to layer textures for that cocooning feeling. We have introduced a new boucle cushion, alongside natural linen and corduroy, in a really tactile approach to textiles" says Ruth Wassermann.

Ever since she was a teenager, my sister has had a working theory that where there are tents, there is cake. One weekday afternoon when we were in college, she put that theory to the test. Lisa and her friend, Courtney, were driving past the local NBC affiliate, WGAL. The building is on the edge of Lancaster city and sits up on top of a grassy hill. Atop the hill, at the end of a long driveway, they noticed a large white tent, the kind you might rent for a wedding reception. Instantly, they both knew, there was cake up there. So, they turned around, headed up the hill, and lo and behold, there was cake. They each grabbed a piece and went on their way. To this day, I have no idea why there was cake in that tent. Was it a private retirement party or a community outreach event? I don't know. All I know is that 20 years later, Lisa still firmly believes that where there are tents, there is cake.
Cake is an interesting food. It is most often used to mark happy occasions like weddings, baptisms, and birthdays. Sometimes, like here at Christ Church today, cake can also be used to mark sad occasions, like at a going away party. Whether you believe Marie Antoinette once flippantly said "Let them eat cake" and caused the French revolution or not, cake has a long history that could possibly date all the way back to paleolithic caves nearly 32,000 years ago. Like most things with a long history, what we call cake today looks nothing like the first cakes created way back when. Ancient cakes were designed with two goals in mind, first to last a long time without spoiling and second to provide as many calories and nutrients as possible. Flour, honey, water, nuts, and fruit were combined to provide long-lasting energy for the difficulties of ancient life. Though, I suspect any paleolithic cave dweller would have given good money to eat a cake that gave them energy for forty days and forty nights, but that's exactly what our lesson from First Kings says happened to Elijah.
Elijah's cake was definitely a sad cake. Our story begins with Elijah so tired and so depressed that he sat down underneath a scrubby broom tree in the desert and asked that God might take his life. If you think this is a strange way to start a story, you'd be correct. We've missed some pretty important details. It all begins more than three years earlier, at another cake serving event, a wedding. Ahab, the King of Israel, married Jezebel, the daughter of the King of Sidon and immediately began to worship her god, Baal, instead the Lord, the God of Israel. First Kings says that Ahab did more to provoke the anger of God than all the kings before him. Because Baal was the god of storms and fertility, the Lord appointed Elijah to prophecy to Ahab that a drought would ravage Israel for three years.
After delivering this word to Ahab, Elijah high-tailed it to the other side of the Jordan River where he lived on bread and meat brought to him by ravens until the water dried up. From there, he travelled to the city of Zarephath in Sidon, where he met a widow who fed herself, her son, and Elijah from cakes – there it is again – made from the last drop of oil and handful of flour that she had left for months and maybe even years on end. After three years of drought, during which Ahab and Jezebel angrily and systemically killed almost all the prophets of God, the Lord sent Elijah back to Ahab where he again prophesied against the sin of Ahab and challenged the prophets to Baal and the prophets of Asherah, the consort, or wife, of Baal to a battle of the gods.
Here's where things get interesting. 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah met Elijah on Mount Carmel. The terms of the battle were simple: the god who brought fire to the sacrifice would be considered the true god. So, the prophets of Baal and Asherah picked their bull and Elijah picked his. The prophets prepared their altar and from morning until noon danced around it, calling on Baal to hear their prayer. There was no answer. Elijah mocked them saying, "Cry louder, maybe your god is meditating or sleeping." They yelled all the louder as they cut themselves with swords and danced from noon until sunset, with still no answer. So, Elijah took his turn. He prepared the altar, just as the prophets of Ball had, but he also dug a trench around the altar. Elijah added twelve jars of water to the bull and to the wood. There was so much water, that the bull and wood were soaked, and the trench was filled. Elijah called out to the Lord his God and immediately fire rained down from heaven. It consumed the bull, the wood, the altar, the dust, and even the water in the trench was gone. It was clear whose God was real, and the prophets of Baal were put to death, as was the punishment for false prophets.
Upon hearing of the humiliation of their prophets, Jezebel and Ahab vowed to kill Elijah, and so he fled a day's journey into the wilderness where he sat down under a broom tree, exhausted, afraid, and hopeless; asked God to take his life, for it would be easier than what was to come; and fell asleep. Having been fed bread by the ravens and cakes by a widow, not much could surprise old Elijah, but what happens next must have made him wonder. As he slept, and angel came and prepared, you guessed it, a cake, baked on hot stones. "Get up and eat," the angel said. So, Elijah ate and drank, and then fell back asleep. Again, the angel said, "Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you." So, he ate and drank again, and the cake sustained him for a forty-day journey from Mount Carmel to Mount Sinai where Elijah became one of only a handful of people who got to experience the very presence of God and live.
Every Sunday, and hopefully more often than that, in the Lord's Prayer we pray that God might give us our daily bread. Last Sunday, we heard the story from Exodus where God provided manna, a flaky substance that was full of nutrients and gave the Israelites energy for the journey. Sometimes, daily bread looks like that. In the story of Elijah, even amidst a great drought and famine, God sustains the prophet with cake. It might not have been a Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with Creamy Chocolate Buttercream icing, but it was substantial enough for the journey ahead. Sometimes, daily bread is a cake that carries you for 40 days. Later this morning, as a community of disciples, we will share cake with Laura Goodwin as we wish her well on the next phase in her life's journey. Over the last 12 years, this community has shared a lot of cake, cookies, and crawfish with Laura, but through the grace of God, these last pieces will sustain our relationship with her, despite the distance that is to come. And sometimes, daily bread is like that, the reminder of our fellowship in Christ.
Since the start of the pandemic and the months' long suspension of Holy Eucharist, I've learned not to take God's daily bread for granted. In fact, as things seems to be ramping up again, I'm more committed than ever to not just simply seek out daily bread, but to be on the lookout for those places where God is looking to give me the gift of cake to sustain me for the work ahead and to remind me of the love we share in Christ. I hope you will join me in looking for God's daily bread in all its forms, for the journey is long and only seems to be getting longer, and I firmly believe that God's sustenance and community in Christ are the keys to survival and success. As we journey together, don't forget to keep your head on a swivel and your eyes wide open, for where there are tents, there is cake. Amen.

Linnworks is a software-as-a-service commerce platform that puts commerce control at the center of your business, ensuring your business systems are seamlessly connected so the brand is in control.
Business is becoming ever more complex. Technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, the online selling market is increasingly crowded and noisy.
At the same time, there have never been more exciting new ways to unlock a business potential, connect with our clients, and give them a great experience.
We are specialists in helping brands sell better. We want to be the best at what we do. And we want to help our clients achieve their business goals too, so they can continually dream bigger and aim higher.
Linnworks empowers brands to sell better by connecting commerce everywhere, so they grow revenues wherever their customers are.
From our founding as a company, our ways of working have grown and evolved.
Fedor Dzjuba and Jegor Possashkov formed a development company, later to be knows as Linn Systems Ltd... Fed is still a Director of the business and can often be found in the Chichester office (we don't think he has a home).
Fed was selling things on eBay, as you do, and he built himself a program to download order details from eBay for his own use.
Fed started selling the software on eBay, and people started buying it! After a while, customers started asking for features to be added.
So Fed started to add features… and customers asked for more… this was becoming a full-time job… during this time Linn Systems launched its first Linnworks Local product and made its first official sale.
And so it was that Fed and his co-founders moved into a real office space. Linnworks launched Linnworks Anywhere, our first cloud-based product.
The market took to Linnworks, and so did its largest players. Having gone cloud-based, we joined the eBay Accelerated Growth Program and dazzled the masses with our bulk listing tool and Amazon repricing tool. As a result of the growth, the first Linnworks employee joined the team! This marked the start of the growth of the Linnfamily, and we moved into our Chichester and Tallinn offices.
We grew fast in 2013, the team increased to 54 people and 3000 registered customers, becoming recognized as a leader in the field of online selling and Cross Border Trade. We also held our first Linn Academy in a small but mighty way! In those days it was more like a user group, but this planted the seed for bigger things to come.
We branched out to the US.
We held our next level Linn Academy at the Microsoft Head Offices - fancy!
The team expanded to 75, and we celebrated the soft-launch of Linnworks.net - a monumental moment in the history of Linn Systems - as the power of the desktop application is offered in a browser-based system. We held an even bigger and better Linn Academy conference, and it's now tradition to make them bigger and better each year.
Callum Campbell joined us as our new CEO… exciting times!
We opened our London and Austin offices and buckled down to continue our quiet expansion.
2020 will go down as an extraordinary year in world history due to the global Covid-19 Pandemic. In response Linnworks moved swiftly to a remote operating model and continued to provide our services without skipping a beat. A testament to our team spirit and our customer centricity if ever there was one. The eCommerce market experienced a massive surge, with more people than ever shopping online, and more traders than ever turning to us to get them into the omni-channel marketplace.
Speak to us to find out how Linnworks can connect and automate your commerce operations so you can capture every revenue opportunity.

Troubleshooting Application Issues
Troubleshooting an application error is a common administrative practice that doesn't involve VDS itself, but is greatly assisted by VDS and the level of control it provides administrators. While NetApp VDS does not troubleshoot these issues for Customers, our experience allows us to advice administrators after identifying some basic information like the following in order to dig deeper and troubleshoot with end users and/or third parties.
Name of the user experiencing the issue
Name of the application the user was working with
The server the user's session was on
Steps to reproduce the issue
Reviewing Your Tools
After identifying the server the User was using, check your monitoring solution to validate that resource (CPU and RAM) consumption is within normal levels. You can also validate that application-specific requirements (a special service that will cause issues if it isn't running) are functional. In situations like this, advanced settings like up/down monitoring of said services may have been triggered.
As an administrator with access to both the servers and Azure Active Directory, you have access to review what has been discovered and what policies are set. In the event something unforeseen is present, it could be affecting your application.
Additional Tools
Some applications require additional components, like a service account that remains logged in indefinitely or a VPN to a piece of physical equipment (say, an on-site network appliance or a piece of manufacturing equipment or diagnostic utility). In these situations, application-specific errors may be caused by something other than the way the application was installed or how its settings are configured.
Extending Access to Third Parties
Applications and/or their databases are often installed, configured and supported by either the software vendor (ISV) themselves or a third party expert in that software's configuration, management and integrations. In these situations you will want to extend temporary administrative access to a these steps: Providing Temporary Access to 3rd Parties
It is a best practice to shut down these third party accounts after the upgrade or update is completed or after the issue is resolved.
In many cases, this level of troubleshooting will require that a software maintenance contract with the ISV. If this is not in place, the ISV may not assist you until this is in place.
|It is also possible that the troubleshooting issue could be related to the hardware (desktops, laptops, thin clients, etc.) end users are working with. An example could be that upgrading a user's laptop could lock the machine in the eyes of a thin client configuration file, meaning that end users cannot access the tools that allow them to log into their virtual desktop. In this case, a maintenance contract for hardware may be required before the manufacturer will assist you.

Friday, September 11, 2009, I had the day off work, and it seemed like a perfect day to take an extra-long hike, as the weather was sunny and warm. For years I've noticed a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant in downtown Roseville by the name of Denny's Café, who's specialty is advertised as American and Chinese food. I also noticed that they opened at 0900 for breakfast. So today seemed like a perfect day to give Denny's a try, as I had a few errands to run in downtown Roseville, and a couple of stops to make on the way home. Since downtown Roseville is a little over three miles from my house, I was assured of a round-trip walk of over six miles, which is a decent amount to walk on a day off.
Photo: Denny's Café is located on recently renovated Vernon St., in historic downtown Roseville, California.
Denny's Café is located in downtown Roseville, CA, on the east side of the railroad tracks. If you're at all familiar with Roseville, you know that the downtown area is divided by the Union Pacific railroad tracks, and the east and west downtown have very distinct differences. The west side bills itself as "Historic Downtown Roseville," and seems to be entertainment-oriented, as there are numerous bars, nightclubs and restaurants. The east side of downtown, where Denny's is located, is more retail-oriented, and has a fairly good mixture of various small, retail outlets. Both sides of downtown have recently undergone a makeover, and now sport attractive landscaping, renovated historic buildings, Farmer's Market, regular events, and lots of free parking.
There is absolutely nothing high-tech about Denny's Café, as the restaurant is almost is a throwback to days gone by, and reminds me of a Route 66 hash house from the 1950's. For starters, there is no air conditioning, which is an oddity for a restaurant located in the Sacramento Valley, which regularly receives 100+ degree days for several months of the year; the restaurant is cooled by an old-fashioned swamp cooler. At the time of my visit, the restaurant was a one-man show, as Manny, the owner was the only one there, and he was performing all duties, including cooking, waiting on tables, cleaning and making change. (During the half hour of so that I was in the restaurant, I was the only customer...) Don't look for a computer, or for that matter, a cash register, as there isn't one - Manny makes change from a drawer and figures out the bill, including the tax, by hand on a note pad, the old fashioned way.
Photo: Looking inside the restaurant, with the kitchen in the rear. Note the combination of vinyl and maple chairs that don't match... the booths are upholstered in orange naugahyde vinyl! How 'bout that '70's television!
The decor is funky, confused, and retro in every way. The walls are painted a cream color, with light blue trim, and there's even waistocating. The furniture is a mixture of tables and booths, but it's not uniform. The furniture is upholstered in naugahyde vinyl, and the tables and counter tops are Formica; pure 1950's. What's interesting is some of the tables and chairs are country maple, and the rest is the upholstered variety. There are framed prints decorating the walls, and some scraggly potted plants near the window at the front of the restaurant and behind the counter. Behind the counter there is a model ship, a ship's wheel, and other nautical items, a few Chinese lanterns and a Chinese dragon or two. If Denny's is attempting to create a "theme," the theme that they've created is pure American funk, from the 1950's.
Photo: I'd desribe the decor as "pure American funk,' but the wall to the right of the photo seems to have a nautical, or is it a Chinese influence? Note the ball lamps hanging from the ceiling; pure 1960's style lighting fixtures.
But you don't patronize a place like this for it's decor, you patronize it for the food, the one-of-a-kind charm, if that's what you want to call it, and patronize the local, little guy, rather than the corporate behemoth. What Denny's Café lacks in decor, it more than makes up in personality...
Photo: The kitchen at Denny's Café is clean, and quite well-organized. I'm a sucker for kitchen shots!
I chose breakfast menu item number four, which consists of two eggs, hash browns, and buttered toast. Naturally, I ordered coffee, although for a moment I considered ordering a Tsingtao beer, as I noticed that the cooler behind the breakfast bar was stocked with various brands of Chinese beer.
After taking my order, Manny went into the kitchen and busied himself preparing my order. I took in more of the funky decor, including the waistcoating, the 1970's vintage television mounted behind the breakfast counter, and the hanging ball lamps, straight out of the 1960's. Hollywood producers should discover this restaurant if they need another Tom's Restaurant, the diner made famous on the Seinfeld show. I'm a huge fan of kitchen shots, so I got up from my booth, and poked my camera lens into the kitchen, and blasted off a photo, which took Manny completely by surprise. He asked me, "What are you doing," and I simply replied, "Taking photos..." how about that for a simple, truthful statement! Of course I went into the spiel about my Internet activities, and how I was going to publish this article on the web; I'm not sure if he believed me, or for that matter, was even familiar with the Internet. Having caused enough damage, I went back to my table, and took another sip of the delicious coffee that I had ordered.
In less than five minutes my breakfast was on the table in front of me. After making some small talk with Manny, I got him to pose for me, as he refilled my coffee cup, and I got him to take a photo of me as well.
Photo: After placing my breakfast on the table, Manny pours another cup of delicious coffee. Note the orange naugahyde vinyl, which doesn't exactly match the cream colored walls and the blue waistcoating. The floor is vinyl tile as well.
Photo: I got Manny to snap my photo before I dug into my breakfast. Note the ice water, which is a nice touch on a hot September morning, in a restaurant without air conditioning. I rewarded Manny with a generous tip.
What really can you say about such a basic breakfast? I ordered eggs over easy, and they were cooked just right, the hash browns were golden crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy on the inside, and the toast was hot, and buttered with real butter. The coffee was delicious, and Manny made sure that my cup didn't run dry. As I was enjoying my breakfast, I watched Manny figuring out my bill using a note pad, and figuring out the tax by hand. Remember, the restaurant doesn't even have a manual cash register!
When I was finished, Manny came over to take my plates and give me the check, and I complimented him on my delicious breakfast. He beamed, and mentioned "You were hungry," as I had wolfed down my breakfast, and nearly devoured the plate. I told him that I'd developed quite an appetite while hiking over to the restaurant. I also mentioned that I'd enjoyed my breakfast, and that I planned to return. For that statement, I received a heartfelt thank you from Manny.
Photo: My delicious breakfast, before I added salt, pepper, and a helping of Tabasco sauce on the eggs. I really appreciated the tomato slice, as I love tomatoes as a side to my breakfast. The only thing missing was country gravy...
Does Denny's Café serve the best breakfast in Roseville? No, not even close, when compared to some of the breakfasts that I've enjoyed during meetings of the Sacramento Breakfast Club. But if you like to patronize the little guy, and like a disorganized, funky decor, a decent breakfast and a very reasonable price, Denny's Café is your kind of restaurant.

Poet of the Month: Ndaba Sibanda
The Swing by Renee' Drummond-Brown
In My Memories by Nandini Srivastava
The Fractal Maze by Sudip Adhikari
Sonnet VI : Sonnets by Aminul Islam
You Must Have Heard Me by Ryan Quinn Flanagan
I am in a Print by Hiroshige by John Grey
Poet of the Month: Ndaba Sibanda
I hear A Nearness
I listen
I listen to the silence of her storms
I listen to its close remoteness
I listen
I listen to the loudness of her whispers
I listen to its near aloofness
I listen
I hear a heart heaving for some healing
However I hear without a hearing aid
I listen
I hear a song sung in silences and storms
However its remoteness is near and dear
New Phenomena
Official for what? The only happiness I seem to get from your ministry
Is an outburst of laughter. Some people watching us are unhappy!
They say either that ministry should be called psychiatry
Or a nullity. I know you are saying less stress to our uncles,
Our dear sisters, our cousins. Who says poverty
Or indeed stupidity runs deep in our lineage?
Happy we are in Africa! In our state…
Happiness has finally been invented!
Who said we cannot be the first?
Our taxpayers cannot be sad!!
On Bumping Into Her
She told me about it. The story of guests
who rent cars or a bunch of bunk beds.
I didn't know what a backpacker hotel
was. She told me she was a backpacker.
No wonder she had her little supplies,
her personal belongings. Her things.
At one time I know she stuttered:
I didn't catch some words she uttered.
Did she belong to who? I didn't get it?
Did she talk of her things or her thighs?
Then there was a lesson on travelling,
travelling on budgeted accommodation.
On a backpack being smaller
than a rucksack, on getting a pack.
I said ok: sackpack ,backsack,
or knapsack or whatever. Bye!
That is Where My Umbilical Cord Is
Today you stand tall in defiance of all the challenges
Right in the southern western part of the country
Just like in the year 1893 when a Union Flag was raised
As the huts of King Lobengula's capital were up in flames
Did Dr Leander Starr Jameson not congratulate himself
For scoring a British South Africa Company`s victory?
In the first place why did King Lobengula say: "I'm he who is"
"Persecuted and rejected" if his ascension had been bloodless?
These days some young folk affectionately call you Skies
I prefer to call you Ntuthuziyathunqa or Ntuthu in short
A nickname which speaks volumes
About you being an industrial hub
Or so you used to be a habitation
Where industrial smoke abounded
Bulawayo my majestic city
Bulawayo what a stunning city
Bulawayo rich in cultural history
Were you not the commercial capital?
A great gateway to Southern Africa?
Were you not our transport nucleus?
For you provided rail links between
Botswana and South Africa and Zambia
They can do or say whatever they want
But Bulawayo you are my umbilical cord
You are my pride and in my heart forever
Bulawayo City of Kings and Queens
Located within the vicinity of the Matobo Hills
And the Victoria Falls and the Hwange National Park
The Swing by Renee' Drummond-Brown
His mansion has
oak stairs. A southern
flare. The ghost of my past also
resides here.
The sounds of torture echoes like
plantation shutters swinging em'
to N' fro.
As I polish his silverware. The floors
crack. The walls
speak; who lives here? Certainly
not me!
THAT dirt driveway houses
my DNA. The open door is locked. I enter
from the back to cook
his menus plus
add me some fat-back. My minds
on that auction block. Those slave ships. Moses
parting THAT Red Sea for me. Gotta' get back
to work; cause, I don't wanna' swing. No!
Not on this day. No! Not me. All
my clean windows see
infamous SHOW tree. Reminding us
that swings plea. To make sure
you hang-em' on high for
Massa's sake and the picture-perfect imagery. I'm jus'
a passer by; til' my turn to swing. Until then,
I'll jus' keep on telling; while keeping it clean.
Dedicated to: Self Preservation is the law of the land
A B.A.D. poem
In My Memories by Nandini Srivastava
Shall I tuck you or let you fly in the wind?
Fly like an insane kite
Shall I stop you or let you swim in the river?
Swim like a naughty shellfish
Shall I find you or let you be in my memories?
To be like an unforgettable dream in my life.
Refugees by James G. Piatt
Shattered bits of terror like rusted razor edged tears, pierce hope in the minds of war weary souls, knives of fear splinter hope, leaving only an aching grayness: Weary women with covered heads, tired old men with shaggy beards, sobbing children hungry and afraid, all trudging through rocks and burning sand hoping to escape from chaos and death to a safe refuge in a foreign land. The cold seeps through tents and bones, but they still pray during special hours each day, hoping for an answer in the icy winds of the dark night, while obscure politicians form committees to decide, which poor souls will be sent back to their war torn nations to die. Where is mercy?
The Fractal Maze by Sudip Adhikari
The splattered fuzz converges
like a chiaroscuro, to tell the stories
of becoming and noise.
I am lost in a fractal maze,
but I don't regret.
We think we are too small
to be the infinity, too frail to dwell
in the folds of a dreamscape.
we think we are the limited hues
of color, caught within the
perimeter of a white canvass.
I keep zooming into myself
and all I can find is me.
I am everywhere. I am the only one
I am the God, whom no religion teaches.
Sonnet VI : Sonnets by Aminul Islam
The sonneteer pens sonnets immaculate
Readers go astounded at his calibre :
Engrossing rhyming scheme,dulcet metre
No prominence find we there inexistent
Critical acclamations formidably flood in
He wins awards national and international
Students around the globe study his sonnets
Many are also doing research on his work
His sonnets have sheerly been a trademark
Since they're incontrovertibly pure sonnets
Many poets become his followers assiduous
They also earn renown sonneting like him
Thousands of people are still famished
No sonnet could even once them feast!
You Must Have Heard Me by Ryan Quinn Flanagan
skiing the alpine victory
vociferous as a pack of wildebeest
throwing magazines in the air
because the unchecked throne of gravity should
not go unchallenged
my hair parted down the middle
like a true centrist, flakes of dandruff
to announced an unplanned winter
lipstick scrawls over the bathroom mirror
as the throat of my voice belts out
the last dry dregs of Top 40 radio
the hair of my naked legs so numerous
with age that gurus working in teams
could not find me, but you must have heard me
just down the hall, schooling Wagner in spilt pantomime
another horse meat racket busted in the South of Spain
I wonder how many vegetarians are moonlighting
for Interpol, selling bottles of avocado shellac
to foodies with nails under the table
as I sit cross-legged on the floor
cooling down like a bowl of soup,
a spent fire extinguisher in my hands
so that I know the gulag Fascists
have won.
Five AM by Jake Cosmos Aller
In the midst
Of a dismal night
When all about me seem
Somehow affright
When my multitude of friends
Have fled into the ever deepening
Righteous night
Leaving me alone
To face the shitty sun
To race for the phone
And have some fun
Alas I have constipated diarrhea blues
The sky is puke green
My wallet has lost its last green
I have seen a dawning of the blues
I sing to express
My feelings
So somber and depressed
Some day
My world will exist
For now
All that is
Or seemed to be
Is merely a stoned dream
Of burning licorice trees
Dry Tears by Daginne Aignend
They say it will become less
the cramping pain
The suffering, apathy, a lead weight
on the chest, is this a heartache?
Not being able to get through
my daily routine, I sit and stare
I want to scream in grief
but my voice has fallen silent
I want to run and hide
but my body doesn't respond anymore
Slowly I wither, excruciated by numbness,
as I drown in a pool of dry tears
I am in a Print by Hiroshige by John Grey
I am one of many snowflakes
suspended in mid-air.
This is good for me,
being singular and yet
in the good company of so many
of my kind.
Sure crystals of ice
suggest coldness.
I prefer magic, even beauty.
While some may wish to
blanket the earth,
I am free, forever falling.
Besides, light is always
on the lookout for me.
I can surprise you
with my glitter.
It may seem as if
I'm a lonely prisoner of the winter sky.
But the Inuit have fifty ways
of describing me.
And only one of describing love –

I hate off days.
I hate them. They are boring and since everyone and their mom has an off day today there is really nothing to do. UPDATE: Two more games are postponed and another is in a delay. At this rate there will be no baseball at all.
creepy bunny gets LAID OUT – Watch more Funny Videos
This is what I do on off days. Watch videos of my crazy friends who dress up in bunny suits and steal people out of tour groups. This same person showed up in my room at like one o'clock with a flashlight shining in my face. Don't worry they knew the girl they kidnapped from the tour. Funny story: One person in the tour group says, "That was creepy." Another says immediately afterwards, "That makes me really want to go here." We do our best to help the tour guides out.
So I will make my entry about something that caused a lot of discussion on Facebook today. So if you are not on Facebook I will explain to you what happened. There is an application on Facebook called Living Social. This application allows you to procrastinate even more or pay even lass attention in class by letting you pick your top five of anything such as Favorite Pro Sports Teams (Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals, Manchester United, Texas rangers, and Indianapolis Colts) or Celebrity Crushes (Grady Sizemore, Channing Tatum, Jacoby Ellsbury, Ian Kinsler, Nick Markakis), etc. You may think that this would get old but as anyone who has Facebook and is familiar with any application they never get old, ever. I have done about five million of these top five lists (exaggeration, but a lot) and eventually ran out of lists to do. So I made my own. I entitled it Baseball's Best Fans. Here is my list with explanations.
5) Boston red Sox- (I also thought this one would cause problems.) I know a lot of people think Red Sox fans can be rude and just down right nasty but I have yet to meet a mean Red Sox fan. They all know and LOVE baseball. They cheer for everything. I love watching games at Fenway (on TV only, I have never been) because it is such a good atmosphere. Everyone treats every game like it is a playoff game. The only reason they are not higher is because they can be a little rude to visiting fans, especially Yankee fans (not that Yankee fans are any nicer). Also people throw pizza at each other. (Just for you Julia.)
Let the arguing begin.
5) I don't remember. I used it a long time ago.

Capcom has been busy teasing a new, upcoming game set in the Resident Evil universe. This game, currently called Project Resistance, will have its full reveal on September 12. However, they didn't want to leave fans high and dry, and have released a short teaser today.
From the looks of things, this new game will be a mashup of the old Resident Evil Outbreak games mixed with some Left 4 Dead shenanigans. If you don't know, Outbreak was a co-op focused survival horror game released for the PlayStation 2. It had online multiplayer capabilities and tasked players with trying to survive against the horrors of Raccoon City. There was even a stand-alone expansion for Outbreak called Resident Evil Outbreak File #2.
Project Resistance seems to take some of the ideas presented in Outbreak and modernized them a bit. The teaser, seen below, seems to show four players going up against the AI controlled horde. Stop me if you've heard this one before. It looks as though a fifth player will get to control things like when and where enemies will spawn and even control some of the "special" enemy types.
The game, whatever it ends up being called in the end, will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

In the run up to the upcoming Mountain Echoes Literary Festival, two art exhibitions — 'Colours of Nature by Green Pigment' and 'Tree of life: The Tree of Immortality' will open today at the Royal Textile Academy (RTA) until August 25.
The exhibition will open from 9:00am till 5:00 in the evening.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck inaugurated the two exhibitions yesterday evening.
Colours of Nature by Green Pigment is a collection of traditional thangka art, artistic rendering of Buddhist gods and goddesses, the four friends, the eight lucky signs, and other traditional Bhutanese art.
The collection of 23 paintings is a work of artist Penjor Dorji, 33, a graduate of Trashiyangtse Institute of Zorig Chusum.
Artist Penjor Dorji said that after graduation, with guidance from his teacher, he continued to research on production and usage of natural dyes.
With financial support from Bhutan Foundation, the collection made use of only natural dyes. "This is the first time Bhutan has researched on natural dyes and are being used. I could only do this with support from my friends and teachers."
Curated by Malvika Singh, Tree of life: The Tree of Immortality is a work of about seven inmates of the Jaipur Central Jail in Rajasthan, India. There are 10 paintings in the collection.
Malvika Singh said that the paintings were experiments done in the Jaipur Central Jail with the convicts.
She added that instead of rigorous burden given to the convicts the government decided to provide training that would relieve their tension and to encourage the inmates to use their imagination and power of creativity.
The inmates are provided trainings in furniture-making, paintings, and on weaving woollen and cotton rugs. "Some of them said that if acquitted, they want to start school for young boys to learn painting."
"I also hope to bring Penjor Dorji's exhibition to Delhi to further strengthen Bhutan-India relationship," Malvika Singh said.
The three-day literary festival this year will celebrate untouched beauty, unexplored ideas and unstoppable voices from the heart of the Himalayas.
The ninth edition of the festival will also celebrate 50 years of formal diplomatic relations between India and Bhutan.

<hhttps://hendersonvilleonline.com style="text-align: center;">Lester Flatt</hhttps://hendersonvilleonline.com>
Lester Flatt was a pioneering bluegrass musician and guitarist, and part of the famous Flatt and Scruggs duo. Country musician. Born June https://hendersonvilleonline.com9, https://hendersonvilleonline.com9https://hendersonvilleonline.com4 to Nannie Mae Haney and Isaac Columbus Flatt, in Duncan's Chapel, Overton County, Tennessee. Thanks to the encouragement of his musical family, Flatt began playing instruments at an early age. Though he began his musical career playing the banjo, at the tender age of seven he switched to the guitar. His skill with the instrument would later help charm fans and win him a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. When he was still in elementary school, Flatt began playing his guitar in a variety of local school and church groups.
Flatt quit school at the age of https://hendersonvilleonline.com2, and in his early teenage years moved to North Carolina to work in a textile mill. All the while, he continued playing guitar and integrating himself into the local music scene. At the age of https://hendersonvilleonline.com7, he met and married singer Gladys Stacey. The young couple would continue to work and make music together for the next decade.
Flatt struggled with early-onset rheumatoid arthritis, which eventually forced him to quit the mill and focus solely on his musical career. His voice and his guitar led him to play with Clyde Moody and eventually form a new band (The Bluegrass Boys) featuring the famous Monroe brothers, Charlie and Bill, in https://hendersonvilleonline.com945. With the Bluegrass Boys, Flatt played guitar and sang lead vocals. Making a quick splash on the country music scene, Flatt played his first gig with the band at the iconic Grand Ole Opry in https://hendersonvilleonline.com945, famously appearing without rehearsing at all.
The Foggy Mountain Boys
Soon after Flatt joined the band, so did bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs, a talented banjo player who would partner with Flatt for decades to come. From https://hendersonvilleonline.com945 to https://hendersonvilleonline.com948, the band toured exhaustively, wowing bluegrass fans and selling out music halls night after night. The tiring schedule soon became too much for Scruggs, who left the band in https://hendersonvilleonline.com948. Flatt soon made the fateful decision to leave as well, partnering with Scruggs to create the Foggy Mountain Boys.
Over the next 20 years, the Foggy Mountain Boys would reign supreme as the Kings of Bluegrass. Flatt's rich voice and traditional rhythm guitar worked well with Scruggs' more progressive banjo stylings, creating a unique sound that would set the standard for bluegrass musicians to come. Flatt would even come to popularize what is known as the "G-run" among rhythm guitarists. Remarking, "That little run you hear on the guitar, and hear so many people doing today — I used that for a time setter; we were playing so fast we had to have something to come back in on, and it fit perfectly."
The duo cut records with Mercury and Columbia, appeared often on WSM radio, and became members of the Grand Ole Opry. They even had a spot on a Martha White Mills-sponsored television show, which helped significantly widen their audience and influence. Flatt took care of most of the duo's songwriting, once saying, "I used to write practically everything we did.

The idea is that people don't know where the public gardens are on the Royal Mile, and this tour shows them where they are! I thoroughly recommend it: the concept is good, the guide friendly and knowledgeable, and I came away knowing two public gardens on the Royal Mile that I'll be going back to.
Very impressed by this herb garden, and want to rejig my herb bed at home in this style:
Another garden has been recreated in the style of a C17th garden. The first block isn't very enticing as it's on the North side of the buildings, but then it opens out into some fantastic formal spaces with espalier apple trees, marigolds of some kind, and wee nooks for herbs. Am also tempted to train a couple of apple trees like this:
Finally, a wee puff piece! The tour is similar in spirit to the bike rides I led on Doors Open Day and Parks and Gardens Open Day in 2007, although there's a stronger theme and it's a bona fide tour rather than random observations. Information on Doors Open Day 2008 can be found here.

Andreas Baur leaves s.Oliver Group
Rottendorf, 31. 10. 2018
Andreas Baur, COO of the s.Oliver Group and responsible for the Global Sourcing, Global Logistics and Global IT departments, will leave the company at the end of the year at his own request.
Andreas Baur is leaving the company for personal reasons. "I am very grateful for my time with the s.Oliver Group. I had the opportunity of working with some great colleagues, and we moved a lot together. After my around ten years in the role of COO in various companies, I am now ready for a new challenge," he says.
Andreas Baur joined the company in May 2015 and has since then helped us to make considerable progress in the areas of digitalisation and supply chain management. Together with his teams, he has implemented important decisive strategies for the company's further development. We will also continue to drive ahead the measures he has implemented after he has left the company.
Bernd Freier, the owner and CEO of the s.Oliver Group, is grateful to Andreas Baur for his efforts: "Andreas was always extremely dedicated to what had to be done, and he did it well. He already informed us of his decision several weeks ago, which had nothing to do with Gernot Lenz leaving the company."
We regret his decision very much, would like to thank him for the excellent cooperation and wish him every success and all the best for his personal and professional future.
The s.Oliver Group was established by Bernd Freier in 1969. In only a few decades, it has grown into one of Europe's leading fashion companies. The Group employs around 6,600 people internationally. Besides the brands s.Oliver, s.Oliver BLACK LABEL, s.Oliver ACTIVE, Q/S designed by and TRIANGLE, the company's portfolio also includes comma, comma casual identity and LIEBESKIND Berlin.

Our Action Teams
While the key work of Evanston Cradle to Career involves ALL of our partner organizations working differently to advance the initiative's priorities through mutually reinforcing activities, we also work with partner organizations and community members collaboratively through five Action Teams focused on advancing equity in Evanston.
Parent and Caregiver Empowerment Team
Parents play the pivotal role as their child's first and most important teachers. This team's initial focus is on supporting parents in their children's earliest years to ensure parents have the resources and information they need to prepare their children for future school and life success. Read more
Kindergarten Readiness action Team
If our young people are ultimately to be successful, it is critical that we ensure they are ready for kindergarten and remain on-track for success at each key transition point. This team is focusing on early childhood education and the successful transition to kindergarten. Read more
learning on track Action team
Many years of research demonstrate the inequity of opportunity during the summer months and other out of school time undermines the academic achievement of less financially advantaged students contributing to the achievement gap. This team focused initially on expanding access to enriching summer and other activities, particularly for children from lower income families. The team is now moving toward a focus on a specific gap in services in the community for children in kindergarten through second grade. Read more
Prepared for Adult Life
While early childhood is important, we also need to ensure that our young adults have the skills they need for college and career success. This team is focusing on ensuring that all young people have a post-high school plan and are prepared for its successful implementation--whether that is college or career. Read more

Our Flemish correspondent VH has translated an article from Politically Incorrect about an Israeli director who was barred from the premiere of her movie at an Edinburgh film festival:
Edinburgh: Israeli filmmaker unwelcome
The young Israeli movie director Tali Shalom Ezer does not get to travel to the Edinburgh International Film Festival in Scotland, even though the Israeli embassy would have covered all her expenses and the film has nothing to do with politics. After "pro-Palestinian activists", most notably director Ken Loach, felt intimidated by the possible presence of an Israeli woman, the festival leadership cancelled the participation of Tali Shalom Ezer.
Update: The festival director meanwhile has allegedly pledged her participation (because of the stir caused with the media).
"Letters from Rungholt" comments aptly:
– – – – – – – – –
"When the director Ken Loach heard that at the festival he had to share the same air that a young Israeli is breathing, he boiled over and called festival-goers to a boycott. Where you can watch Israeli movies and welcomes Israeli directors, you also might finally discover that Israelis are completely normal people, with dreams, wishes and feelings, and even very creative! But no no, that would undo the struggle of the Palestinian people. Did I fabricate this? Not in the least."
The 57-minute film "Surrogate" is a love story and would have celebrated its premiere in Edinburgh, but Tali Shalom Ezer will not be there.
Update: Apparently, the film festival got cold feet because of the media attention and will now allow the director to come over. The film will be shown as planned, according to an official statement. To anyone prefers to grill the Palestinian-loving Edinburghers themselves, you can e-mail to the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com

Wish to learn more about what speak in company Farlega? Come to our blogs!
As you may have guessed, we are talking about the market of high-tech start-ups, which survive only 10% of companies. Moreover, most of the survivors in the first year and 10% of the companies stopped work for a few years after the start of work.
To learn how to successfully overcome the valley of death, it is necessary to identify the main causes of death of startups. They are:
Is it possible to solve these problems?
Lack of sales
This problem is solved with the help of proper planning startup. Each high-tech enterprise should focus on sales from the first second of its existence. How will you monetize the service? How much you are planning to get in the first three months of work? Who will do the selling?
The answers to these questions before starting a startup, you can greatly increase the chances of survival. Remember that no one can sell your product better than you. Sell it to retail customers, and investors. The project must generate income to develop successfully.
The high costs
Do not hire paid professionals, remove the cheapest office or even work in the garage, give up paid advertising. So you can briefly identify ways to address the high costs that are often the cause of death of a startup.
Begin to spend money only when your project will be steadily profitable. Allow yourself a nice office only in the event that a startup would be profitable. Otherwise, work independently and advertise your company in social networks, asking friends to spread the link to your site.
The absence of the necessary links
Have the right people in the projects. Business angels will help you get along with businessmen and government officials for a small stake in the company. Smart business angel capital is sometimes more valuable asset than a financial investment.
Participate in social projects that will attract attention to your project, representatives of local administrations. With the support of officials, you will be able to do for free that costs a lot of money.
Perhaps you have your own recipes to increase the chances a startup to life?

Archaeologists working in Spain have discovered a female burial that is one of the most lavish Bronze Age graves ever found in Europe, with valuable items befitting a member of the ruling class, beneath what may be the first Bronze Age palace unearthed in the region.
This discovery was made in 2014 at the site of La Almoloya in Murcia, which belonged to the Bronze Age El Argar society that flourished from 2200 – 1550 BC in the south-east of Iberia.
The burial itself, reported in the journal Antiquity, is located in a large jar found beneath the floor of a room. It features a female, aged 25–30, and male, 35–40, who died close together in the mid-17th century BC. Genetic analysis suggests they had offspring together, including a daughter who is buried elsewhere on the site.
Both the male and female were buried with a range of valuable and prestigious objects. The male had a copper bracelet, silver fasteners likely for braids, and golden earlobe plugs. However, most of the items were associated with the female, including silver bracelets, rings, and a rare silver Argaric diadem which they were still wearing.
These diadems were crown-like items made from precious metals and included amongst other valuable items in the burials of select females. Their rarity, value, and prominence when worn suggests they were highly symbolic, identifying someone as powerful and important.
"These grave goods has allowed us to grasp the economic and political power of this individual and the dominant class to which they belonged," the researchers said. This link to governance is also reflected in the site of La Almoloya itself. The burial was found beneath a room in a large building complex that appears to have fulfilled both residential and political functions, including one room with benches laid out as though for meetings.
As such, this site appears to be a palace, where the ruling class both lives and carries out their business. This would make it the first found in Bronze Age Western Europe – until it was destroyed by a fire shortly after the female individual was interred.
The first palace would just be one of many innovations made by the El Argar society. They were one of the first groups in the region to utilise bronze, developed complex urban centres with monumental structures, and appear to have had a highly stratified society based on the variation in wealth found in graves.
With the most lavish grave yet found, the female from La Almoloya may have sat at the top of this hierarchy, although her exact role is one of many questions about the site, and those buried there, yet to be answered.
"The La Almoloya discoveries have revealed unexpected political dimensions of the highly stratified El Argar society," the researchers conclude. Find out more

After my walk I cooled off by taking to the beach! All of this and more I experienced just one hour away from Harrisburg.

The summer-collegiate circuit adds a team in Klamath Falls' Kiger Stadium for the 2010 season.A summer-collegiate West Coast League team will begin play as soon as 2010 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. League president Ken Wilson announced the awarding of a conditional WCL membership to the city.
Klamath Falls becomes the ninth member of the wood-bat summer college league, which began play in 2005. "We've spent more than a year developing the market," said Wilson. "We're impressed with the love of baseball throughout the community and the enthusiasm expressed for having a WCL team."
The new team will play its home games at historic Kiger Stadium, which was built in 1948 for the Far West League Klamath Falls Gems. The ballpark has a capacity of over 3,000 and has received nearly $500,000 in improvements over the last few years. "I can't express how excited we are to have a West Coast League team," said Don Ambers of the Kiger Stadium Association. "The fans and our business community will really embrace this team."
The American Legion Klamath Falls Falcons have long been a mainstay in the community. "We're going to work closely with the American Legion program and all amateur baseball," added Wilson. "We want more youngsters playing baseball and we want amateur baseball to continue to thrive in Klamath Falls."
The Klamath Basin has a population of 70,000, which swells in the summertime. "It's an exciting market for us," said Bend Elks' owner Jim Richards. "We're looking forward to having a great rivalry with Klamath Falls."
A perspective owner is expected to make formal membership application to the WCL in a matter of a few days. Approval of the new owner by the WCL board of directors is expected to follow quickly. "Once that happens and the stadium lease is finalized, Klamath Falls will be an official member of the West Coast League," according to Wilson.
Longview/Kelso, Washington heads a list of cities under consideration to become the tenth member of the WCL. A number of markets in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California are considered candidates to eventually become members of the growing league.
