2013 HALO Awards: TeenNick Partner Organizations Get Tickets To The Live Show!Posted on 11/08/2013 by Rachel1016
Ever dreamed about being one of those lucky teens in the audience at the HALO Awards? You know, the ones who have front-row seats and get to brush shoulders with TeenNick celebs all night?
Well, seeing as the HALO Awards honor teens who 'Help And Lead Others' in their community, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that those who scored a ticket to the show on Sunday, November 17th did just that. This year, we're honoring the work of three outstanding organizations, Amigos de los Rios, Boys & Girls Club of America, and Key Club, by giving a select few of their members tickets to the live event! (So when you see that lucky someone high-fiving Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, you'll know that they probably deserve it.)
Check out just how excellent these organizations are.
For more than 100 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America has made it its mission to help young people realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. Today, there are more than 4,000 clubs across the nation that provide adult mentors, after-school activities, community service opportunities and, ultimately, a safe space for American youth who might need it most.
Just a few weeks ago, The Boys & Girls Clubs of America led a volunteer event at the Thomas House homeless shelter in Los Angeles. Fifteen volunteers got together to lead activities with families, host a movie night, and cook a special meal for the residents.
Key Club, the high school branch of Kiwanis International, is the largest and oldest service club for youth ages 14-18 years old. Members of the Key Club perform community service activities that range from cleaning up parks to organizing clothing drives to fundraising for various worldwide causes. The Key Club assists Kiwanis International in its mission to serve a very important part of our community: youth.
Since its inception in 2003, Amigos de los Rios has worked to create lively, sustainable communities in urban neighborhoods in and around the Los Angeles area. The non-profit works closely with local governments and residents to build parks, playgrounds, and other environmentally-conscious public spaces in areas that suffer from societal problems like high population density and poor public heath. Their mission is not only to protect the environment, but also strengthen the community. It's all about creating a synergy between the environment and its inhabitants because, y'know, we have to rely on each other!
Most recently, on October 19th, Amigos de Los Rios hosted a 3-hour, 125-person volunteer project at Hollydale Park in Los Angeles. Members of the Boys & Girls Clubs & Kiwanis joined Amigos de los Rios' own volunteers to plant and spread mulch for over 75 native California shrubs, paint over 300 feet of fencing, and remove graffiti throughout the park.
Even though we've only just skimmed the surface of the amazing, ovation-worthy service these organizations have performed, join us in a collective, virtual round of applause. *Claps*
During the live show, we'll feature pictures these various service projects that the awesome do-gooding teens collected themselves. Their pics will appear in our HALO Hive social media lounge with #HALOawards. And don't forget to look out for 'em in the audience on Sunday, November 17th!

Turning handheld power into enterprise clout
The smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices your employees already own are productivity drivers. Seize the opportunity.
By Bo Parker and Alan Morrison
D7, a construction consulting firm in Southern California, threw its hat in the ring when it heard that Box.net, a cloud storage provider, was seeking a partner to test business applications on the Apple iPad. Before long, about 20 field workers at D7 were using smart tablets to diagnose quality assurance issues on-site; to relay audio, documents, and digital photos; and to store and share the material via Box.net.
By using this approach, D7 has accomplished something that had previously eluded it: digital workflow from customer sites. In the past, workflow involved paper documents "that weren't very usable," says Aaron Levie, CEO of cloud collaboration company Box.net. Joseph Daniels, D7 president, says tasks that took a week or longer can now be done the same day. "That's what people want. They want it now or yesterday," he says. With a mobile digital workflow, the D7 team eliminated a major bottleneck.¹
By using smart handhelds and the cloud, employees can improve business processes in ways they couldn't before.
Consumer-grade tablets, smartphones, and supporting technologies are more powerful than ever and are now becoming secure and reliable enough for enterprise use.
Applications don't need to be sophisticated to produce immediate business results.
With the help of mobility, the knowledge economy is expanding to include more traditional industries.
Enterprise mobility is clearly a growing resource for enterprise agility, giving organizations access not only to standard cell phone communications, but also to wideranging collaboration capabilities at low cost. Many of the newest mobile applications are relatively simple, but the collaboration they enable is at a higher, more complex level, because it cuts across organizational boundaries. Yet this new resource presents a challenge unfamiliar to business executives who are accustomed to controlling enterprise technology: how do you take advantage of an asset that most of your employees already have in their pockets?
The answer to that question has many layers. It requires an understanding of what drives knowledge workers— especially Millennials, those digital natives born after 1980—and of the implications for attracting and retaining talent. It involves innovative organizational change to manage the flat, sprawling network of individual nodes defined by workers and their devices. And it requires more imaginative uses of IT resources, sourced internally and externally, to move closer to where the action is—the edge of the enterprise—and to deliver application and information power that's been elusive until recently. This first article examines the business implications of these issues.
The article, "Mobile technology's journey from peril to promise," on page 20 examines the issues of application development, the limits of these devices in replacing PCs, and the security risks of handhelds—which turn out to be not as insurmountable as many say. The article, "How to exert leadership on enterprise mobility," on page 36 offers insight into governance and other risks.
At this stage of enterprise mobility, the biggest risk for many companies would be inaction.
A phone in your pocket, or an enterprise IT asset?
Knowledge workers want nothing less than perpetual connection to the information they need, and today more of that information is increasingly accessible via handhelds. The smartest of these devices, as futurist and interactive media consultant Mark Pesce points out, offer the same power as a 1980s Cray supercomputer² and are optimized to work on wireless networks suited to high-volume data exchange. Smartphone subscribers account for more than 60 percent of US mobile application use and more than 55 percent of mobile Web browser use, according to comScore.³ Early adopters are using their phones to become an integrated part of the information landscape. This is the beginning of the realization of a cybernetic vision in which humans and their devices, wherever they are, are part of a more integrated whole.
As Figure 1 points out, traditional knowledge management hearkens back to an era in which the enterprise information system was all that was online. Employees had access to only internal IT resources. Now, in the era of the smart handheld, employees have anytime access to external resources. Not only that, but those resources change in response to an employee's input. As information in the cloud becomes more adaptive, the result will be a cybernetic system, a symbiosis, and an interworking of man and machine that's been theory for a long time but is now finally becoming reality.
The new smartphones and tablets take advantage of new classes of applications that allow easier use of knowledge and information sources on the public Web. The best of these applications can improve processes incrementally in areas such as field support and sales with the help of small, agile collaboration tools suited to the new handhelds. What has emerged is a form of cloud-based collaboration and file sharing that emphasizes ease of use rather than expansive feature sets.
Few IT departments are currently in the decision loop for acquiring the mobile devices and applications for enterprise use. When IT departments are in the loop, they clear a path for sales forces and other knowledge workers to use leading-edge smartphones and tablets. "When the CEO shows up with an iPad, you [the CIO] are forced to look at it whether you want to or not," says Larry Herrmann, manager of global IT customer support at DJO, a medical device manufacturer. Herrmann compares the current trend to what happened with BlackBerry devices in the mid-2000s. "We got our first BlackBerry devices about six or seven years ago, and the CEO at that time said there will never be more than 25. Now we've topped 900 globally."
Some IT organizations are building on recent technology improvements to refine efforts they had already started. "We are sought after by the business and are viewed as consultants," says Tom Conophy, CIO of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). "We profess the art of the possible." His team offered mobile applications in the past and is enthusiastic about capabilities that began to appear at the end of the decade. "IHG was one of the first companies to actually put out a mobile app that did booking, but it was pretty lame," he admits.
Conophy's point: The technology has only recently become enterprise ready. "The phones themselves were not that great, and the infrastructure was lacking," he says. "The rendering capabilities were not super." Conophy describes the current environment as "a perfect storm." After lagging for years, more of the capabilities IHG and others need have at last materialized.
Too often, though, IT is slow to capitalize on the mobility opportunity. And as a result, individual executives, business units, and employees do what they want with smart handhelds and the myriad mobile applications available in the cloud. The individual results may be useful, but a potentially powerful enterprise IT asset is not yet being tapped organization-wide.
Smart worker, smart device symbiosis
Mobile phones aren't just more powerful; broadband connectivity, 3-D sensors, and enhanced geolocation capability have turned the devices into intelligent, humanassisted network nodes on the public Web. (See Figure 2 for a comparison of network intelligence between laptops and smart handhelds.) The symbiosis mentioned earlier happens with the help of a constant flow between these nodes and the changing information in the cloud. Blend that capability with social networking, and you get an emerging form of large-scale, contextually aware mobile networking that many enterprises have dreamed of—the kind that research and development (R&D) labs such as the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) are exploring.
The art of the possible in enterprise mobility in the 2010s
What is an "intelligent network node" and why is it important to enterprise mobility? An intelligent node is basically Nova Spivack's "human as sensor" concept, with each human carrying and interacting on the Web via a smartphone filled with a Global Positioning System (GPS), sensors, a powerful processor, and lots of memory.* These nodes and the networking that connects them create the opportunity for applications to learn more about you and others in your business network in real time and provide more of the information you need in your context at the moment. For example, a salesman about to visit a prospect's headquarters office can learn about mutual friends and connections before walking in the door. Some of the main enablers for this kind of contextually aware computing include the following:
Better locating capability:
Smartphones and cellular networks that are GPS enabled are more precise about location these days. Together with other sensors and details about each person, applications will be able to make educated guesses about what information will be relevant.
More capable sensors:
Smartphones already have sensors that detect motion. That's how Apple iPhone devices can have displays that respond to the device tilting, or games that take advantage of the phones' motion detection capabilities and build that into a user interface. New barometers in phones will add to motion detection and geolocating capabilities, making it possible for applications to learn what floor a person is on in a building, tell them someone they know is in a meeting down the hall, or indicate what printer is closest to them.
Faster networking:
3G is finally commonplace, although the average speeds US users experience on mobile devices are sometimes as low as one-quarter of the average speeds advertised, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This implies downloads in less than optimal circumstances of 100 to 500 Kbps or lower. In the best conditions, users get from 1 to 1.5 Mbps in the United States. Network upgrades (to the Long-Term Evolution [LTE] standard, for example) promise improvements two or three times what users are experiencing with 3G. That's network throughput. On the data throughput side, back-end storage system speeds are improving substantially, with higher-speed solidstate storage becoming available and caching performed more cleverly now than ever. Overall, users experience better performance than they did three years ago, and they can expect an additional cycle of improvement to occur during this decade.
During the next three to five years, intense development activity and experimentation will continue. Look for lots of targeted applications intended to solve practical problems. The end result will be a different kind of application environment for enterprises—one where business units are more closely involved in development or even doing some development themselves, not to mention a rich but rather confusing and difficult-to-navigate application environment externally. The first few years will be a time to focus on the fundamentals and to capture what's most essential from an application perspective.
*Nova Spivack, "Nowism," TTI Vanguard Shifts Happen conference, San Francisco, CA, February 23, 2010.
The problem for the enterprise is that adoption of this powerful but unfamiliar networking capability is happening on the consumer Web and then bleeding over into the enterprise. Enterprises are having difficulty deciding what to allow and what to curtail. They also need substantial organizational flexibility to take advantage of this new capability. Remnants of command-and-control or even carrot-and-stick approaches, which exist in many organizations, are not supportive of this capability. Because the idea of participating in the cloud is so compelling, many companies are conducting pilot projects and pondering what policies they might need to change, but they haven't gone much further. Others that have managed some degree of comfort in a somewhat more flexible organizational structure have embraced the new medium.
It's not just organizations that are changing; the individuals in them are changing, too, especially the younger, more adaptive generations. It's not news that the workforce has changed in response to technological improvements, but it's worth pondering what specific changes have resulted.
Take manufacturing as an example. Factory output per worker in industrialized countries has risen dramatically since the 1970s. This productivity boost is a primary factor behind factory employment declines.
The need for fewer workers in industries that previously required more physical labor is one of the reasons today's economy is characterized as a knowledge economy. A significant share of that increased productivity is due to the improved ability to generate, retain, share, and—most importantly—leverage information. More workers will do more knowledge work, even if their job category remains otherwise steady and stable.
Handhelds are becoming powerful at precisely the same time that the knowledge economy is becoming predominant. One implication: enterprises must make more room for the creative nature of a handheldwielding workforce. This is especially true in an environment that requires enterprise agility.
Enterprise agility's demand for workforce creativity
The most knowledge-intensive segments of the workforce already understand the value of fostering creativity in this new environment. Standard Chartered, for instance, is setting up a mobile applications development unit that emulates a Silicon Valley startup, to the point that it is located in San Francisco's South of Market new media district and staffed by a small group of locals. Never mind that Standard Chartered is headquartered in London and most of its branches are in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Todd Schofield, who heads the unit, says the idea is "to stay very small and nimble, and be able to bring in new ideas, deliver quickly, and then move on to the next thing."
The unit's approach reflects the way digital natives tend to operate and underscores why they are capable of contributing to enterprise agility. Because they are accustomed to the tools that allow agility, digital natives are more apt to iterate quickly and to continually refine their access to information via handhelds. And because they collaborate so readily on an ad hoc basis, they're accustomed to participating in change efforts—an aspect of their character that enterprises need to take greater advantage of.
Several companies interviewed for this issue focus on smartphone and tablet innovation precisely because of the growing influence of digital natives. Their development groups exemplify how the workforce as a whole is changing in response to the need for accelerated innovation. IHG's Conophy has set up informal R&D groups to hash out ideas. "You have to give people outlets," he says. "They have their day jobs, and then they have their passions. The idea is to try to turn on some of those passions."
In job categories where workers traditionally have used their hands (construction trades, for example), the information component is increasing and more creative approaches are emerging. As construction tools and techniques become more sophisticated (as in the D7 example) and the need for precision increases, more effort shifts to planning, measuring, calculating, resourcing, machine setup, maintenance, and quality control, where each worker now has management responsibility and autonomy over an important part of what can be, in essence, a small, ad hoc, on-site building factory.
That's because the iPad, the iPhone, Android-based handhelds, and similar devices have opened up a new category of interaction with digital content for companies such as D7. Before, that interaction essentially was limited to content creation (with a desktop or a laptop) or consumption (also with a laptop, but more recently with a smartphone or an e-reader). Now, a category for engagement has emerged. (See Figure 3.)
Construction is just one industry example. Car dealerships, insurance companies, and hospitals, among many others, are all poised to incorporate more tablets into their workflow. This trend is consistent with how mobile workflow is becoming more information rich and has ramifications for how business leaders choose to manage.
All of the fastest-growing job categories over the next decade will have a heavy information component, judging by information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. (See Table 1.) Today's skilled jobs are already information rich; tomorrow's jobs will be more so considering the power of collaboration using mobile devices and the cloud. The two job sectors the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts to grow fastest are professional (including science, engineering, law, and teaching) and services (including healthcare workers, firefighters, detectives, and cooks). Each will feel the impact of the emerging Web-based collaboration environment that the networked intelligent nodes noted in the sidebar will enable.
Empowering the knowledgedriven workforce
What should business leaders do to empower digital natives and others so they can succeed in the knowledgedriven workplaces of the 21st century? The first thing is to remove obstacles to motivation, including limitations on access to tools and networks that knowledge workers need. In general, knowledge workers are not as motivated by traditional reward systems as by an environment that ensures their autonomy and ability to make a creative impact. Knowledge workers are also motivated by the opportunity to develop their talent. It's primarily talent that creates career security today—jobs and companies come and go.
Business leaders also need to recognize that digital natives are the most engaged knowledge workers online, more so than knowledge workers as a whole. Digital natives need autonomy and creative channels that extend outside the enterprise. The extended, virtual organization they work within is a patchwork quilt of internal and external resources.
Take the example of a new sales executive who uses his personal smartphone for work. He's accustomed to using Foursquare and other social media to find opportunities to meet prospective clients and build personal relationships with them. He depends on the consumer applications his friends and acquaintances are using. That phone is part and parcel of his workspace. He creates value with it in significant ways that his managers may not recognize and do not directly measure.
As pointed out in the article "Embracing unpredictability" (Technology Forecast 2010, Issue 1, pages 6–10), organizations are complex systems that create value in two ways: incremental and fundamental innovation. Incremental innovation can benefit from a conventionally managed approach, but fundamental innovation demands that organizations protect and nurture the unpredictable, creative effects of complex interactions that increasingly take place on informal networks made possible by smart handheld devices.
In an earlier era, 3M's Post-it notes became a success after an engineer in one group suggested the note application for what started as an adhesive invented by an engineer in a different group. Without a culture that fostered the freedom to invent and collaborate in what constituted a marketplace of ideas, 3M would have missed an opportunity that turned out to be crucial to its long-term success.
With the Post-it note innovation, the 3M engineers demonstrated in the 20th century what Dan Pink calls a 21st-century style of motivation.
Instead of using carrots and sticks, leaders of the most-effective knowledge enterprises motivate by allowing autonomy and by encouraging mastery and purpose (AMP). This was true for 3M then, and it is more so for all in this new era. Business executives who foster mobile handheld freedom will encourage employees to reach out through their own networks to innovate and get things done, and in the process reinforce an enterprise's support of Pink's AMP principles.
Pink's studies, and those of others, suggest strongly that research has proven something that businesses haven't taken consistent advantage of yet: the better way to motivate helps employees to achieve three personal goals:
The urge to direct our own lives
The desire to get better and better at something that matters
The yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves
Pink elaborates on the previous work of others, of course. For example, in 2007, author Gary Hamel addressed the issue of developing an innovative, creative corporate culture to attract talent.
Culture is at the core of the issue Pink addresses, and culture certainly has been the focus of executive concern generally. Companies that already embrace these values will have a far easier time with enterprise mobility than others.
From Pink's standpoint, a broader compensation model is central to effective cultural change. Enterprises should pay employees fairly, but enterprises also need to understand that what drives many knowledge workers goes beyond monetary compensation. A work environment that fosters self-actualization (psychologist Abraham Maslow's term for AMP) can ensure effectiveness and solid results. In contrast, the carrot-and-stick method may have worked well during the industrial age, when consistent output from laborintensive mass-production lines was more important than agility. But it's not well suited for the current age, when rapid knowledge creation and its application provide the competitive advantage necessary for agility. Even more knowledge sharing in the future implies a greater need for AMP-style motivation, particularly in the cybernetic era, as Figure 4 illustrates.
Conclusion: 21st-century work as cybernetic craft
Consider what AMP implies for the 21st-century workforce armed with smart handhelds. Digital natives, as Kim Woodward, vice president of corporate marketing at Citrix Systems, points out, "aren't used to being as constrained as older generations were." They assume the ability to reach out to other geographical areas for talent. When it's possible with the help of virtualization to do work on any device in any location, the recruitment model opens up. Mobile device freedom is emblematic of this open recruitment model, not to mention a direct recruitment tool.
"A couple of banks that we talked to said it's actually a recruiting tactic for them. They can tell fresh graduates that they are hiring, 'You can bring in whatever device you want and we will support it,'" says Srinivas Krishnamurti, senior director for mobile solutions at VMware.
With these new capabilities, work is becoming more of a craft again. Businesses are enjoying a renewed ability to craft solutions for the challenges they face, tapping a larger percentage of their employees, now that application development and mashups are easier.
"In the past, you had the one-size-fitsall sort of mentality. Now companies are starting to break down services so that they can access almost all of their capability through an application store," says systems engineer Ed Jimison of Intel.
Futurist and interactive media consultant Mark Pesce
underscores the fact that application development is becoming simpler, which empowers business units and allows IT to play the role of craft master training the apprentice. "When you get tools like Titanium (for the iPhone) or App Inventor (for Android), you significantly decrease the barriers to entry," Pesce says. "Over the next 10 years, those tools are going to become more pervasive, the quality will go up, and the ease of use will go up."
In essence, work itself has changed because what constitutes the workforce is more a blend of individual and social networks mediated by highly personalized devices, bound together by software. The work itself has become more cybernetic. This cybernetic capability offers enterprises a built-in feedbackresponse loop of the kind that Gap recently discovered when it launched a new brand identity and had to react to a negative response on Facebook.
The Gap example suggests an opportunity for companies to solicit feedback publicly on initial ideas, which will reduce the risk inherent in high-cost initiatives such as a brand update. Particularly when it comes to consumer goods and services, the customer community is a much more frequent and active participant in enterprise workflow. The youngest generations in the workforce can help executives anticipate and respond to this kind of change. The rise of the smartphone ecosystem and its challenge to IT traditions of company issued standard devices and company dictated controls over applications must be understood in this context.
Smartphones extend IT to the edge of the enterprise because they are mobile, and they are always with the employee when the important work is happening. But the most significant "edge of the enterprise" is the individual employee, seeking the autonomy to contribute to enterprise goals through mastery of everchanging knowledge and processes. Increasingly this is happening through personalized mobile devices.
Resistance to the organizational flexibility that enterprise mobility requires and IT prohibition of device use will inhibit the value-creating variability, because they reduce autonomy, self-directed mastery, and commitment to enterprise purpose.

With the exception of a whimsical rooster-themed stained glass window, the exterior of this corner bar is unassuming. Once inside, quiet music and low lights create a relaxing atmosphere.The front room is small and intimate. The bar's history as an old boys' club is apparent in the dark rosewood furnishings, antique brass lamps, and worn leather booths. The ceiling is lined with wooden wine racks, and strands of delicate white lights create an ethereal glow. The walls are pinned with old pictures and souvenir menus collected by the former owners in their travels. The most notable design feature, however, is the impressive wall-to-wall collection of roosters (the decorative sort). Perched throughout in every size and medium, roosters definitely rule this roost.

At the Orangeville City meeting held on May 8, the city council donated $100 to two organizations. The first group was the Emery High School History Fair students. The students involved in the history fair are Michael Reed, Curt Jensen, Spencer Colby, Jeremy Gilbert and Meagan Rogers. These students took first place in the region history fair and second in the state history fair. They have qualified to compete at the national fair in June and need to raise funds to support their trip. The second organization that the city council donated to was the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. The ACS will be hosting their fifth annual Relay for Life on July 11-12 at the Emery High School track. The money raised is to support cancer research and most of the money will stay within Utah. The theme for the relay this year is "Reach for the Stars" and then the individual teams will have the theme "Hollywood Nights" to decorate their tents. Some success stories that were shared with the council by Debbie Wilson and Cathy Sitterud of the ACS were: the gene that is common with breast and ovarian cancer has been isolated; there are consistently more survivors; and there has been an 80 percent success rate in children's leukemia cases. Last year the relay raised $16,000 and they have made their goal $20,000 for this year. The luminaries will be sold for $5 a bag or five bags for $20. Wilson and Sitterud suggested holding bake sales, auctions, or car washes to help raise money.
Sue McNee and her girls basketball team made an appearance at the meeting to thank the council for providing them with new jerseys. The team consists of sixth graders Jodi Robertson, Shawnee Grindley, Sierra Bridgewater, Shalee Scow, Alyssa Jones, Frankie Komar and Whitney Saupan. They have qualified to play in the summer games and wanted to show the council the jerseys. They will report after the games on the outcome.
Linda Jewkes reported on the economic development of the county and of Orangeville. She notified the council of the Huntington Plant water situation. Utah Power leased water shares from residents leaving Huntington with virtually no water. The city had to then go out and purchase more water and was able to purchase more than was expected and will be storing the excess shares in Joe's Valley. A solution is being worked on for the problems at Electric Lake.
The Economic Development committee has filed for 501 C3 status, which means it is a nonprofit organization and will continue on to achieve Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) and 8A status. This will enable the committee to be eligible for federal government contracts before others. The 8A status was previously only available to Indian reservations and is now open to rural areas. This will provide more employment opportunities for Emery County. They are also working on setting up a partnership with Health Access. Jewkes also touched on the need to improve tourism efforts. She stated that the tourists are already here, and we need to show them what Emery County has to offer.
Orangeville Economic Development is working on enterprise zones, concerning new businesses and recycling zones. The city will need to find any businesses that are recycling or are using recycled products. There are tax breaks available to these businesses and the city will help educate owners about them.
Dennis Tuttle, zoning administrator and animal control officer, reported the need to obtain a new aerial photo of the city. The county GIS office will then overlay lot lines and zoning grids. This will make it easier to tell what lots are zoned as commercial or residential, especially lots that are split. He also noted that they are looking to increase commercial zones at the south end of town and along the north end of the highway.
Patrick Jones mentioned that he had received calls from some groups wanting to bring youth down for the pageant and wanted to do service projects while they were here. He suggested having them clean the headstones at the cemetery. It was also suggested that the dug outs at the ball field need to be repainted. Jones added that there is a need to purchase a pump to run the sprinkling system at the cemetery. There is currently not enough pressure to run it properly.
Jones also reported that the BLM research wilderness areas are changing. The state has sued the federal government concerning these areas. They were not formed by Congress, and therefore were illegally formed. As of May 28, the roads that have been closed on these properties will be opened.
Howard Shorthill reported on the progress of the 21st Century Community projects. Orangeville had previously received their bronze and silver hockey pucks and is now one assessment short of receiving their gold puck. They plan to have this completed by June 12.
Orangeville Day will be June 21 and some of the events will be a performance by Al Shakespaere, the Miss Orangeville Pageant, ball games, horseshoes, McNee's girls basketball team will play, bike run, ATV open run, the parade, fireworks, lamb fry and breakfast.
The sheriff's office and neighborhood watch will be holding a Homeland Security meeting with the local emergency planning committee on May 27. They have asked that all mayors in the county be present.
Randall Stilson reported on the meeting with county commissioners and other city representatives concerning the ATV/county roads issue.
He noted that there has been more resistance than he had expected. There have been some concerns that need to be worked out and he thinks it will be a longer process than originally expected.
Stilson has also been working with the BLM to develop a play area for ATVs. The funding is available, and they are currently working out the right to access the property.
Jeffery Tuttle informed the council that Precision Cutters had been removing trip hazards on the sidewalks on Main Street. They will continue to have them come back each year to continue the project.
He also reported some changes that were announced at the road school he and the mayor attended. The most notable being that the school cross walks must now have an arrow sign posted under the pedestrian sign that points to the crosswalk.
The council set the public hearing date for their final 2003-04 budget for June 12.
The next Orangeville City Council meeting will be held June 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Jacobs family to do everything within their power to keep Bills in town
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 24 2014 12:25PM
With the passing of Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. nearly a month ago, the speculation about the future of the team has ramped up with new names being linked to the sale of the team.
Donald Trump has made his feelings known on plenty of occasions and on a host of different platforms that he wants to buy the Bills and keep them in Buffalo. The Associated Press reported that Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, amidst a bout with cancer, remains extremely committed to buying the Bills and keeping them in town. Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has been mentioned as an interested party, but also was lumped in with a Toronto-based group that could have intentions to move the team if they place a bid and it's successful.
One of the most prominent families in the area with roots to the sports world already said that they will try to do everything within their power to keep the Bills in Buffalo. The Jacobs family, who runs Delaware North, has been mentioned as potential suitors throughout the past month.
In a prepared statement through Delaware North, Jeremy Jacobs, Jr. said his family is invested in their efforts to help the Bills franchise, but stopped short of saying that they would be involved in the bidding themselves.
"We are using our resources, our contacts, and our relationships to do everything we can to ensure the Bills stay in Buffalo."
In an interview with The Buffalo News, reporter Stephen T. Watson asked Jacobs if the family would make a bid for the team.
"It's still early in the process, and it's impossible to say either way."
It's important to note that, in order for the Jacobs family to purchase the Bills, it won't be the father that's spearheading the project. As the owner of the NHL's Boston Bruins, under NFL rules, he would have to sell the team in order to buy the Bills under his name.
It's a rule in place to prevent individuals from owning two sports franchises in different cities. Nearly two weeks ago, Jacobs released a statement through Delaware North declining any personal interest.
"Several reports have listed Jeremy Jacobs as potentially interested in buying the Buffalo Bills. Mr. Jacobs owns the Boston Bruins and has no intention of selling the Bruins in order to purchase the Buffalo Bills. His focus is on ensuring the Boston Bruins continue to be a successful and winning franchise for the City of Boston and New England. He is a strong supporter of the Buffalo Bills as a storied franchise that has seen great success under Ralph Wilson. Mr. Jacobs would certainly be a strong supporter of any effort to keep the Bills in Western New York and is a big fan of the franchise and its leadership."
While it dismissed the notion that the patriarch of the family would be the man in charge he also has three sons, two of which that would be currently eligible, to be the leaders of any potential purchase of the Buffalo Bills.
It's still speculation, but when the Cleveland Browns were for sale, Jeremy Jacobs, Sr. was vetted by the NFL as a potential owner. The league knows the family, they see the success of the family in owning the Bruins, and it would likely be an easy decision in the approval vote from NFL owners.
Familiar with the sale of teams around the league, former GM and current NFL Network analyst Charlie Casserly spoke with WGR on Thursday and said really it comes down to one major factor for prospective owners.
"The owners have the right to accept, and not to accept, anybody that comes in. They tend to accept if the cash is there and the money is there," he said. "That's crucial, because all these owners knew that they had to put up the money. It had to be serious money, it couldn't be paper money. So that's gonna be the number one thing."
Casserly continued:
"I do know this, the owners will be very critical about somebody coming in to buy the team and their ability to pay for it."
The sale of the team will go through the Wilson estate, where current controlling owner Mary Wilson, will sell the team to the highest bidder. The Bills were valued by Forbes last year at $870 million which means the price of the franchise would be close to, or even eclipse, the $1 billion mark.
To this point, the timeline of the potential sale of the team has yet to be disclosed. When a sale is complete, the principal owner must be approved by 24 of the 31 owners in the NFL.

This is one of a number of portraits that Lambert painted of young girls. The subject was probably Mary Mond (1901–1937), the eleven-year-old daughter of the British industrialist and politician Sir Alfred Mon BT (1868–1930), later first Baron Melchett and one of the founders of
Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI).
Lambert depicted the young girl sitting slightly precariously on the elegant sofa. He presented her with her face in profile in a version of the Whistler's mother pose, but without the rigorous simplification of that painting. Indeed, he showed Mary as a pretty young miss with rosy cheeks, hair in ringlets and wearing a frilly white dress. The fluffy white dog nearby, looking up at her attentively and painted in a similar range of whites to her dress, suggests that she may have had some of the cuteness and cuddliness of this dog.
In his depiction of the decorative fabric on the sofa, the floral carpet and the Japanese screen, this portrait is unusual for Lambert. This luscious background is indicative of the wealth with which Mary Mond was surrounded.
Portraits of children can be found throughout the history of art, but they were particularly popular during the Edwardian era – an era which also saw the creation of memorable children's books such as J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan (1904), Kenneth Grahame's The wind in the willows (1908)andthe many stories by Beatrix Potter.

We cannot have a united effort to win any war as we did in World War II unless we repeal the War Powers Act. Let us not kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Take the power out of the United Nations.
The United States is "One nation under God." We must never destroy the U.S. Constitution that clearly states: Congress shall have power to declare war.
Nor can we continue to send our jobs with our industry over seas at the will of the Department of Commerce (Presidential powers).
Full Congressional approval of Congress is all the people; the ones who fight the wars.
Our Central Intelligence Agency must not become a double agent for the United Nations and the United States, as it shares military secrets with the UN Security Council.
It does not matter who we elect to the White House, until Congress unanimously repeals the War Powers Act, unless we desire to bleed the US with more no win wars.

The building was designed and built to be included in the neoclassical style of the Place Royale. The façade with the triangular pediment and the six Corinthian columns remind of a Greek-Roman temple. During the French revolution it was transformed into a Temple of Reason, and later a Temple of Law. In 1802, the church was returned to the catholic religion. On 21 July 1831 H.M. Leopold I, the first Belgian king, took the constitutional oath on a decorated stage in front of the church.

Dear children! Today I invite you in a special way to pray for peace. Dear children, without peace you cannot experience the love of Jesus neither today nor in your daily lives. Therefore, pray the Lord of Peace that He may protect you with His mantle and that He may help you to comprehend the greatness and the importance of peace in your heart. In this way you shall be able to spread peace from your heart throughout the whole world. I am with you and I intercede for you before God. Pray, because Satan wants to destroy my plans of peace. Be reconciled with one another and by means of your lives help peace reign in the whole earth. Thank you for having responded to my call. "

Team Canada Announced for SandJam Halifax
(HALIFAX, June 26, 2013): The players for Team Canada at SandJam Halifax have been announced. Sarah Pavan, Heather Bansley, Sam Schachter and Josh Binstock will compete for the inaugural Canada Cup from August 15-18 on the Halifax waterfront.
Pavan and Bansley have recently teamed up on the sand since Pavan joined the Volleyball Canada beach program in May 2013.

Pavan, from Toronto, ON, was the top indoor volleyball recruit in her high school graduating class in 2004. She went on to University of Nebraska where she was a four-time First Team All-American and led her team to an NCAA title in 2006.

Jeffrey Kurland (Costume Designer) white jacket from Inception seen with Leonardo DiCaprio (Cobb)
As Seen on Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) in Inception
The Leader: Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) are not your average corporate spies, moving effortlessly in their suits and ties through the dreams of their targets. Though they normally steal secrets and information, a leading Japanese businessman Saito (Ken Watanabe) recruits them to plant an idea in a rival, a much harder challenge. With a team that needs training and an "inception" to pull off, the three not only experience and engineer spectacular dream landscapes but also show off threads worthy of recurring dreams. Case in point? The midnight blue gown Cobb's wife Mal (Marion Cotillard) wears to sabotage one of Cobb's plans.
Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a man who looks good whether dressed down in slacks and a leather jacket or up in a black suit and metallic gray tie. But this calm and pulled-together outer appearance belies his troubled past, including a complicated relationship with his wife Mal (Marion Cotillard). His way of dealing with martial stress? Slipping into some comfortable flannel shirts while pensively starring at a spinning top. Totally normal, we know.

Pool A Canada (1-0) vs Guatemala (0-2)
August 17, 2010
Canada defeats Guatemala in opening match at NORCECA Championships
GATINEAU – Braden Schmidt of Winton, Alta., scored match point on a service ace as Canada defeated Guatemala 25-23, 25-14, 23-25, 26-24 on Tuesday in its opening match at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships.
Schmidt, who scored 11 points in the match, finished off the fourth set with two solid serves. He gave Canada a 25-24 lead in the fourth with a serve that was fumbled around by the Guatemalan defence before delivering his ace.
"It wasn't our best game for sure," said Canada's head coach Greg Barthel of Regina. "We were definitely quite happy with the win but we need to improve our play if we plan to go far in this tournament. We were tentative and made too many errors from the service line."
"It was our first international game and you could tell at times," added Canadian team captain Tristan Aubry of Edmonton. "We'll talk it through tonight but we definitely have some things we need to work on."
Nicholas Hoag of Sherbrooke, Que., led Canada in scoring with 14 points while Lukas Van Berkel of Edmonton added 12 and Kevin Stevens of Hamilton 10.
For Guatemala, Jeyson Fernando Nery Flores had 26 points and Luis Agosto Garcia Bettancourt 18.
"Canada has a very strong team," said Guatemala's coach William Fernandez Pizat. "It hurts to lose especially when we fought so hard during the game. But Canada always seemed to step it up late in each set."
"Our confidence was very high," said Flores. "We came to play with our hearts. The Canadian team was very tall but we were expecting to win."
The Guatemalans drop to 0-2 in round robin play.
Pool C USA (2-0) vs Martinique (0-2)
August 17
USA on the ball at NORCECA Championships
GATINEAU- The United States smoothed itself out after a bumpy start at the NORCECA men's junior volleyball championships on Tuesday with a 25-14, 25-11, 25-11 victory over Martinique.
For the second straight match, the U.S., points list was well spread out with 11 of the 12 players participating in the scoring. Joshua Taylor was the only one to hit double digits with 10. Taylor Crabb added nine
"I thought we weren't that crisp early on," said U.S., head coach John Hawks. "We missed some serves and we weren't executing at the net. But I give our guys credit for their resiliency. I thought that they battled hard and we got back on track with a nice run of points."
The U.S., and Mexico (both 2-0) will battle Wednesday for first place in pool C
"We know it's going to be a lot tougher and we are going to have to go out with a lot more fire than we did tonight," said American captain Dylan Davis, who chipped in seven points. "That was not our best volleyball and we all know that."
For Martinique (0-2) they provided a spirited effort. It is their first ever participation at this tournament.
"Our players were a bit intimidated in the first set," said Martinique head coach Eddy Salomon. "But they realized they had nothing to lose in this match and started to relax. When you play a team like the U.S., you need to keep it simple and play to the best of your abilities."
"It's a challenge but also a pleasure to play the U.S.," said Martinique captain Geoffrey Zozor. "We had a strong run in the first set and that feeling is what I'll remember most about this match."
Boris Zeline was the top scorer for Martinique with four points.
Pool B: Puerto Rico (2-0) vs Honduras (0-2)
Cuba and Puerto Rico to showdown for first place in pool B
August 17, 2010
GATINEAU -Jorge Antonio Lopez and Christian Rivera scored 11 points each to lead Puerto Rico to a 25-19, 25-13, 25-11 victory over Honduras on Tuesday at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships.
"We're happy to get the win but we could have played better," said Puerto Rico's head coach Ramon Lawrence whose squad is 2-0. "We made many mistakes blocking but we expect to be more focused for our game against Cuba."
Puerto Rico team captain Ramon Burgos said the players weren't thinking ahead during their match.
"We tried to focus on today's game solely," said Burgos. "Now we can focus on Cuba and we are really looking forward to it."
Honduras, 0-2, produced a decent first set but fell apart afterwards. Both the coach and team captain wanted the sets to be closer.
"Puerto is a great team and one of the favourites," said Honduras head coach Carlos Randolfo Funez. "Our players had trouble receiving their serve and we just didn't find our game today."
"We expected more but it's a great competition here," said Honduras team captain Josue Carbajal Vargas. "I knew were facing two great teams but I thought we'd make more of an impact in those matches."
Vargas and Jose Elias Barahona Diaz were Honduras's top scorers with five points each.
Pool B: Cuba (2-0) vs St-Lucia (0-2)
August 17, 2010
Cuba shows muscle against St. Lucia
GATINEAU, Que. – Hard-hitting Cuba came out much stronger today at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships defeating a spirited St-Lucia squad 25-10, 25-10, 25-14.
Cuban captain Jorge Carlos Rojas Taylor led all scorers with 17 points while Alejandro Beldarrain Chapotin added 16 and Jorge Gonzalez Garcia 10. The Cubans are now 2-0 in pool B round robin play.
"We played better today but we are expecting more from our players," said Cuba's head coach Garcia Garcia Roberto. "St.Lucia played very well and they have a potentially great player in Julian Bissette. It's good to see the development of Caribbean volleyball."
"We are getting ready," said Taylor. "We know the next games are going to be harder and we are going to have to fight hard on the court. We will be more aggressive."
Bissette sparkled on the court scoring 10 points for St. Lucia which falls to 0-2. St. Lucia is competing for the first time at this tournament.
Pool C: Mexico (2-0) vs Trinidad and Tobago (0-2)
August 17, 2010
Mexico in driver's seat for playoff berth after win over Trinidad and Tobago
GATINEAU, Que. – Mexico gained a stranglehold on a playoff berth at the NORCECA junior men's volleyball championships on Tuesday with a 25-15, 25-13, 25-9 victory over winless Trinidad and Tobago.
Ricardo Galindo led the Mexicans with 10 points while Jose Mendoza and Jorge Cabrera added eight each. With the victory, Mexico has a 2-0 record in round robin play in pool C.
"We have been playing well but we can still improve our game," said Mexico's head coach Francisco Javier Jimenez Espitia. "Our goal here is to be one of the top teams and we can't be totally satisfied with our playing so far."
"The players are getting into rhythm and feeling better everyday," said Mexico's team captain Jorge Barajas. "We have a very strong opponent tomorrow (USA) and we expect to be in our best condition for this match."
For Trinidad and Tobago (0-2) this tournament is about gaining some more valuable international experience.
"Our team played fair today in comparison to what I know they could do," said Trinidad and Tobago's head coach Gideon Dickson. "We lack experience at this level and it particularly showed in the third set."
"We showed a lot of improvement today and the support that was lacking yesterday was there today," said Akim Bushe who notched five points for Trinidad and Tobago. "The game is a lot faster at this level and we just want to better again in our next match."
Brandon Legall led Trinidad and Tobago in scoring with six points.

Definitely not cocaine… no no, not Kate Moss.
Here she is with white powder all over her legs last night – totally exaggerated of course by the gossip media. Which brings to mind all those other reports – the ones from a few months ago, when she was signing so many new modeling contracts, in the UK tabloids about her pleading with Pete Doherty get clean and doing what she could to make it happen.
Ummmm, like, how about bull f*cking sh-t?
Timing is everything so… Coincidence or conspiracy?

Upset victory for Lessard and Martin to open main draw on beach volleyball World Tour
The tournament is also the second of five this season designated as a Grand Slam tournament with prize money nearly doubled to $300,000 for both the men and women.
"We were expecting a tough match but we've had success against them in the past," said Lessard, who posted three ninth-place finishes with Martin on the circuit last season. "So we felt we had a chance to beat them although it didn't start well."
Lessard and Martin, seeded 22nd, took the match in comeback fashion 16-21, 21-17, 15-8 in 48 minutes for their third victory in two days. The Canadians opened the tournament Tuesday winning their two qualifying round matches.
"We were a little bit tense at the beginning but started to play more freely in the second," said Lessard about Wednesday's match. "Our defence improved and we were able to hold our services longer."
The Canadians are tied for first spot in pool F with sixth-seeds Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig of
The round robin portion of the tournament concludes Thursday. The top team in each of the eight pools advance to the round of 16 while second and third will battle it out in a playoff to grab those other eight round of 16 spots.

The Cascade M11 Pro helmet is an upgraded version of the 2011 model with its new low profile design and enhanced 360° fit.
Cascade has teamed up with the great Hall of Fame NHL player Mark Messier to create Messier Project. The Messier Project was created to address the issue of concussions in hockey, by effective product development and a public awareness campaign. The M11 Pro helmet was created as part of the Messier Project to help reduce concussions and offer top level protection.
The M11 Pro hockey helmet features Seven Technology. The Seven Technology system uses a new liner system to absorb maximum energy and almost instantly return to the original positioning. The Seven Technology is perfect for the sport of hockey, due to the that hockey is a multiple impact sport.

The Seven Technology is able to regenerate to the original position faster than traditional EPP foam offering increased performance on multiple impacts.
The M11 Pro hockey helmet is also constructed out of a one-piece shell design, which is lower and more streamlined than the previous model. This shell design also reduces direct energy transfer.

This is an easy tool-free system on the back of the helmet offering a personalized fit.

Comments: This is the best helmet on the market since Bauer stopped making the 5000. It has the highest level of protection available, looks good, and feels very comfortable on your noodle. It does not feel heavy or bulky, which I was worried about at first. I have been wearing this helmet for over a year and it is showing no signs of breaking down or wearing down. Sizing runs a little small, I am a large in most brands but a medium in this model. The size and fit can be adjusted in several ways, so it is easily customizable. Highly recommended! I would purchase again.
From: Peter, CO
Comments: I have been using this helmet ever since it came out Right when I got on the ice with it I loved it I used to have the M11 but i got 2 concussions with 2 of those helmets when the M11 pro came out I got it right away and I haven't had a concussion since I would highly recommend this helmet.
