The firm regularly litigates claims resulting from gross mismanagement, corporate control issues, mergers, shareholder oppression, shareholder appraisal rights, contract disputes, employment agreements, and insurance coverage disputes. We also represent partnerships, partners, and sole proprietors in similar types of litigation, as well as dissolution.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates has experience in the areas of securities, shareholder, class action, and complex financial litigation. Our firm has successfully litigated securities matters in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitrations before FINRA, AAA, and the NASD.
We have experience representing individuals in securities-related claims, as well as representing registered broker representatives. The firm has recently represented a registered representative in Florida regarding agent complaints by the broker/dealer in an arbitration with claims in excess of $2 million.
In the retail brokerage area, our firm has represented public customers and registered representatives in litigation and arbitration spanning all areas of securities laws. Such cases not only include actions involving financial brokers, but also include employment claims on behalf of registered brokers.
We specialize in investor claims against brokers and broker dealers who have committed fraud or have otherwise invested a client's money in an unethical or improper manner. Many cases involve claims where a broker has improperly invested in securities without client authorization or where stocks were purchased or maintained on behalf of a client at a risk level exceeding the risk tolerance agreed to by the client in the brokerage agreement.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates is experienced in representing individual and multi-unit franchisees in litigation in a variety of industries. The firm's franchise clients range from start-up companies to large, established multi-unit franchises and cover a variety of industries including restaurants, automobile dealers, retail stores, and other commercial and consumer-based service.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates' franchise litigation experience includes:
- Litigating franchisee claims against franchisor to recover fees and liquidated damages, and remedy franchise terminations;

As a result, Baddley, Mauro & Yates regularly represents individual and business clients in litigation involving financial service institutions, including national and state banks, credit unions, state and federally chartered mortgage lenders, loan servicers, consumer lenders, automobile lenders, credit card issuers, and insurance companies.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates currently represents a variety of clients in claims asserted as class actions, individual consumer suits, counterclaims to foreclosure actions, and arbitration proceedings.
Our firm has knowledge and experience concerning many types of insurance products, including commercial general liability, directors and officers, professional liability and excess and umbrella. We maintain an active and multi-faceted insurance law practice, handling a wide variety of insurance matters, including direct actions against insurance companies and other coverage matters. Many cases focus on the interpretation of policy clauses and exclusions, layers of coverage, and claims of bad faith on behalf of the insurance company. We have considerable experience bringing suit alleging misrepresentation and other wrongdoing on the part of company agents.
Disputes frequently arise regarding whether a particular event, loss, or circumstance triggers insurance coverage or requires the insurance company to act on your behalf in accordance with the policy. Insurance companies are notorious for treating customers unfairly, which sometimes includes engaging in policy sales and claims-handing practices that are illegal. Such practices may include a failure to properly investigate a claim as to liability and damages; failure to fairly and reasonably evaluate facts of liability; failure to offer settlement within a reasonable time after investigation; misrepresentation of the policy; non-disclosure of information; unwarranted disputes concerning value of loss; and creating excuses to delay payment of policy benefits.
If you have been treated unfairly, or believe your claim has been denied when there should have been coverage, please contact our office for a cost-free evaluation of your claim and to advise you on available remedies.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates has substantial experience litigating both residential and commercial construction defect cases. Our firm focuses on all aspects of construction litigation and construction defects, including expertise regarding attendant insurance coverage issues based upon a general contractor or subcontractor's defective construction.
We fully recognize that a home typically represents the homeowner's single most valuable financial investment, as well as an important emotional expenditure. Our firm is knowledgeable in addressing a wide range of construction defect issues including design defects, substandard workmanship, building material failures, geotechnical problems, and related insurance disputes. Our firm has also been involved in litigation regarding defective synthetic stucco and defective Chinese drywall, as well as disputes regarding large scale commercial projects.
Our firm handles a wide range of construction defect issues, including:
- Defective or negligent construction
- Use or installation of defective building materials
- Defective or improper installation of windows
- Defective or improper installation of roofs
- Defective foundations
- Water intrusion
If you own a home or commercial property and suspect your home suffers from faulty or defective construction, we have the experience and expertise to help.
In today's business environment, disputes over banking, commercial contracts, shareholder matters, and fiduciary obligations are commonplace. The attorneys at Baddley & Mauro have years of trial experience in business litigation, involving a wide variety of business disputes, including contract disputes, fraud and misrepresentation, trade secret misappropriation, and breach of fiduciary duty.
Our cases typically involve multiple adversaries in federal and state courts, and the firm has the experience and resources to deal with complex business litigation disputes.
The firm has an active fiduciary litigation practice which focuses upon claims regarding trust mismanagement, as well as breach of fiduciary against individual and corporate trustees.
Clients involved in disputes concerning wills, trusts, fiduciaries, and charitable gifts require sophisticated legal counsel who understand the complex emotional and personal implications for the individuals involved. Baddley, Mauro & Yates has significant experience litigating trust and estate claims on behalf of beneficiaries in both circuit and probate court.
Disputes frequently arise when a fiduciary, often times referred to as a personal representative or trustee, fails to act appropriately in carrying out a loved one's testamentary intent. Fiduciaries are required to act in good faith with respect to all beneficiaries under the terms of a will or trust, but will often times mismanage assets to the detriment of the beneficiary. Our attorneys have successfully recovered millions in misspent money from executors and trustees for the benefit of our clients.
Our lawyers team with appropriate tax and accounting experts to provide our clients with a full range of advice throughout the litigation process.
Data breach litigation has become an emerging area of the law due to the universal practice of businesses storing private customer information in digital form. Businesses are required to adhere to strict federal and state standards, but unfortunately are often unwilling or unable to adequately protect your information. Baddley, Mauro & Yates represents clients in claims to recover for damages resulting from your personal and private data being stolen and/or released to the public.
Data related challenges are increasing in prominence and importance as the number of cyber-attacks continue to rise. The lawyers at Baddley, Mauro & Yates have the expertise to litigate data breach claims. The firm is currently litigating a national class action involving a corporate data breach against a foreign business.
In today's business environment, the outcome of a contract dispute can impact the survival of a company or business entity, as well an individual's investment or bargain. Our firm routinely litigates contract disputes in a wide variety of fields, including:
- Construction
- Supplies and suppliers, including quality of goods and timeliness of delivery
- Franchise disputes
- Shareholder disputes
- Partnerships and LLCs
- Employment matters
- Non-solicitation and non-competition
- Commercial notes
- Bank and brokerage customer
It is not uncommon from two parties to read a contract, and thereby interpret their respective obligations, differently. Contract law requires that one begin with the plain language of the contract and then apply a series of technical rules of construction. Our attorneys are adept in utilizing these rules to the advantage of our clients, and in furtherance of either negotiating resolutions or litigating the matter through trial.
Class actions can take the form of almost any dispute, including consumer fraud, securities fraud, unfair and deceptive trade practices, false advertising claims, employment issues or even boilerplate contract claims. The class action process allows the grouping of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals whose claims are commonly situated to seek judicial relief. The action is brought by a few individuals who fight for those who have suffered similar injuries. Class action lawsuits have become the great equalizer in litigating against large, well-capitalized corporations, and allow individuals to seek meaningful redress against corporate wrongdoers.
The lawyers at Baddley, Mauro & Yates are experienced in handling class action lawsuits, and prosecute each action with the goal of maximizing the rights of our clients. To contact one of our class action attorneys, contact us at 205-939-0090 or email@example.com for a free consultation.
Baddley, Mauro & Yates maintains an active appellate law practice involving issues of significance to our clients and, often, matters of public policy. The firm has extensive experience in all areas of appellate litigation, from interlocutory issues that arise during the course of litigation to all aspects of post-trial activity.
A case on appeal presents substantially different standards and issues than those presented at the trial level. Our attorneys have extensive experience in prosecuting and responding to appeals following trial judgments, and are skilled in identifying "mistakes of law" and carefully formulating the issues to provide the client with the best opportunity for success.
The firm routinely handles appeals on matters that we originally litigated, and also briefs and argues matters handled at the trial court by other counsel. In such matters, we are able to provide a new and objective perspective to the case.
We have successfully briefed and argued appeals in the appellate courts of the State of Alabama, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, surrounding Circuit Courts of Appeal, as well as the United States Supreme Court.

Round three in the Wednesday earnings reports includes two drug-servicing companies. Don't worry, it's almost over...
One is the drug distribution giant AmerisourceBergen Corp. The company fell slightly short of third-quarter expectations and so the company's shares dipped by slightly less than a percentage point at mid-session to $57.11.
Net income was $168.4 million, or 71 cents a share, roughly flat with the $181.3 million, or 71 cents a share reported a year ago. As with most major drug distributors, margins were razor-thin when compared with the massive revenue of $21.9 billion reported, a 13% increase from the $19.3 billion recorded in 2012.
The company's adjusted earnings of 73 cents a share was two pennies shy of the forecast from analysts polled by FactSet. But revenue was ahead of the $21.4 billion expected. AmerisourceBergen didn't lift its own forecast for the year, either, providing another potential setback for shares.
In contrast, Omnicare Inc. raised its view, along with beating FactSet estimates for earnings and revenue during its second quarter, and shares climbed 3.5% to $52.52.
The Cincinnati-based provider of pharmacy services said net income was $52.2 million, or 48 cents a share, nearly triple the 2012 figure of $18.7 billion, or 17 cents a share. Revenue was roughly flat, however, inching up to $1.57 billion from $1.54 billion. The FactSet forecast called for revenue of $1.54 billion. Adjusted earnings were 90 cents a share, three cents ahead of the forecast.
Omnicare raised its full-year earnings outlook to a range of $3.56 to $3.64 a share. The high end of its sales range was raised to $6.3 billion from $6.2 billion.

Richie Incognito just touched down in Los Angeles ... and it's pretty clear some crisis manager has given him a playbook for the weekend.Our sources say Richie is headed for a swanky hotel in Beverly Hills ... obviously to work on fixing his tarnished image.No word on how Incog plans to resurrect himself ... but typically when someone is looking to fix their image, L.A. is the first stop.A local Miami station and some paps caught up with Richie when he landed ... but the NFL star wouldn't say much.He also stopped at Starbucks when he got off the plane.No word on if he ordered his coffee half black.
what have we become as men in this country. I don't agree with incognito, he sounds like a jerk bully, but for the kid to go public with all this is crazy. you take your lumps the first year then if he is still messing with you the next year you stand up for yourself. either you prank him or bust him in the mouth in the locker room. if 300 lbs football players cant stand up for themselves then what hope is there for the rest of this country.

Toronto band provide shelter for the masses with frenetic set
Holy Fuck used their Dance Stage slot at Reading Festival to help "soothe" crowds affected by the rainy weather today (August 29).
The Toronto band's fans filled the tent for their seven-song set, which saw them showcase tracks from their latest album 'Latin'.
"Come on in from the rain," keyboardist Brian Borcherdt said to the audience as the band took to the stage. "Let the sweet sounds of Holy Fuck soothe you while it's raining!"
Later on in the band's set, Borcherdt noticed that the downpour outside had stopped.
"Hey, it's not raining, right?" he asked the crowd. "And you're still with us? Thanks a lot, that's awesome!"
NME is coming live from both sites at Reading And Leeds Festivals this weekend. Head to NME.COM/festivals for full coverage including news, reviews, videos and picture galleries.

Decided to drop by Spice Cafe for a quick lunch in Myaree. This cafe is quite new and is a good place for a casual cheap meal. They serve malaysian/singaporean cuisine and the owner is very friendly.
Teh Tarik
I love teh tarik! It is a rich milk tea with lots of froth at the top.
Nasi Briyani with Chicken
This was really good, the side dishes went really well with the fragrant nasi briyani. The curry was delicious, and the chicken was very tender.
Mee Siam
I havent had mee siam for a few years already, this really brought back childhood memories. This bowl of meesiam was yummy, it had the sweet and sour tangy taste, and tasted just like the ones I had tried in Singapore!
This is a small cafe and it's great for a quick lunch! They serve really good potato/sardine curry puffs as well and I finished it before I could even take a picture of it.
Rating: 4/5
Location: Hulme Court, Myaree

Brown drops gems, including a reference to Pimp C's "We eat so many shrimp, I got iodine poisoning" line off "Sippin' on Some Sizzurp."
Hopefully this is something we'll hear on his upcoming album, Old, which drops in August.

In-App Purchases: A Scourge Or A Necessity?
In these highly restrictive financial times many of us have to count every penny. We have to ensure we have enough to feed ourselves and keep a warm roof over our heads. However we also need distractions and for many this distraction comes in the form of a video game.
In the good old days (yes, my good old days probably differ from your good old days, mileage will vary) you simply decided you wanted to purchase a game, you handed over your cash and played the game ad nauseam. It was a simple process with a clearly defined outlay. However many games nowadays have plumped for the in-app purchase model. This is usually, although not exclusively, associated with 'free' games.
I am pretty sure the whole situation began with console Downloadable Content (DLC). As the internet grew in popularity and speed, developers realised they could bolt-on new content to their games. This allowed for new maps, new missions, new equipment and various other items to become available to the user. However very rarely was the new DLC required to continue playing the original game, it simply enhanced it.
Fast forward to the introduction of the iPhone and the App Store. As the store grew in popularity it created great competition between developers to get their app noticed. Many developers poured their heart and soul into their creations and charged, what they considered, an appropriate amount. Sometimes this resulted in a fairly high costing app, which made many potential customers baulk at the idea of purchasing it. Suddenly developers appeared to engage in a price battle which sent many developers rushing to the bottom of the pricing scale. The obvious result was that revenue dropped and eventually dwindled to nothing once the initial excitement of a new launch had passed.
The developers needed to find a new model.
Apple tried to help developers by introducing iAd. This allowed devs to place Apples Mobile Advertising platform right into their app with the hope it might generate enough revenue from impressions and click throughs. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this system never really took off.
However, the Freemium model did start to catch on. A developer could give their app for free but in some restricted form. If the user liked the app they could pay to have the full application unlocked. Many followed this model and it proved quite successful for a time.
This model eventually suffered in a similar fashion to the initial method. It still only allowed for one trip to the well, so to speak. Another method had to be found.
This has now led to In-App Purchases. This model also gave the game away for free but still hobbeled it in some form or another. As before money could be traded to unlock areas or currency within the game. However, now these unlocked features were rarely permanent. They would be gradually consumed as you continued to play. They could buy you some in-game currency for example to build something. They could be used to reduce a predetermined wait time to speed up production. They could unlock new equipment or characters. Basically they turned the game into a slot machine that just kept demanding more and more of your cash. Suddenly games went from being fun, addictive and entertaining to managerial and time consuming financial grinds, all in the cause to build some virtual doohickey that had no real worth or purpose, and worst of all, folks bought into it.
Free games with IAP's rose quickly through the gaming charts. They currently occupy the top position in the 'Highest Grossing' section in the App Store. There have been court cases, appeals, refund demands and a growing sense of distaste for this new model. However the games still come. Every week a new app appears in the App Store that is laden down with restrictions and artificial delays that demand you spend real money to negate them.
My real concern however is that we, as users, have been complacent in all of this. Firstly we didn't want to pay the initial prices of developed apps. Then, we didn't want to pay for apps reduced in price. Then, we didn't want our apps loaded with advertising. However, we do appear to love hitting the 'Buy' button to purchase some virtual goods or service. It is no surprise then that developers keep producing these kinds of apps. The sheer number of users willing to continue funding such software makes the whole process profitable and worth continuing, at least for the foreseeable future. Maybe only when we, the great buying public, decide that enough is enough and stop downloading these apps might the developers rethink their commercial strategy.

NewHope started in a bus. A committed local Christian used the bus as a mobile Sunday School to share Jesus with children and families. We build on this foundation of innovation, passion for outreach and commitment to the local community. NewHope has made sacrificial commitment to build projects in nearly every decade of its history. God has led us faithfully and the church has flourished each time.
In 2006 stage 1 of a major rebuild was completed and we moved into the current Community Centre. We began using our facilities as a "gift to serve the neighbourhood" so we could have even greater connections and outreach opportunities. That vision has been enormously successful. We have seen many lives changed, the church has grown and the neighbourhood is responding to our witness.
We are making an impact in the community, but as we grow our building holds us back more and more. We must steward our growth and meet the opportunities of ministry for the coming decades. Today NewHope is made up of 1300 active households and our ministries directly engage another 1800 households. We envision impacting our region in ever increasing ways as God continues to work through the people of NewHope in the coming decade. It is time to address the next stage of building work.

These are just some of the outcomes we can expect from the next stage of building
Latest Build Progress
The light at the end of the tunnel is growing brighter!
The building is at lockup stage with all windows and doors installed, the majority of the external cladding has been installed and our concretors are currently working on the front entrance stairs and ramps.
Inside the plasterers continue to hang sheets with just the walls and ceiling around the new reception area to go, the painters are following close behind. The carpenters have started to install the internal feature walls and plumbing and electrical fitoff is looking good.
The back wall of the auditorium has been plastered and the painters will start in there in the next week or so. The large operable walls are expected early June.
The current plan is to have the major works finished by end of June with final sign off and hand over in July.
Click image to download
Why are we doing this?
We have a passion to make Jesus' words and deeds tangible in our region. We believe following Jesus is the shortest path to hope and we want everyone in our region to experience the love and transforming power of Jesus. In service to this vision our people engage in hundreds of service and ministry activities to thousands of people every week. We are changing lives and impacting the City. The buildings are a small part of supporting this vision.
NewHope has experienced growth over its 65 year history and there have been significant build projects about every ten years. Providing good facilities for outreach, age specific programs, community activities, care ministries and Christian worship gatherings has been an important catalyst to this continuing growth. As our people give sacrificially God continues to bless his work in this neighbourhood. We are privileged to be a part of it.
What will the outcomes be?
Expanding the NewHope Community Centre will make it possible for more people to experience the gospel. The project will deliver expanded meeting spaces, improved children's facilities, an enlarged auditorium and cafe, a community kitchen and improved reception. Our outreach ministries, hospitality initiatives, multi-cultural activities and age based programs will all receive a much needed capacity boost. The project will allow us to grow and multiply Communities of Hope and touch more lives for Jesus.
What are we building?
The build project will add approximately 350 sq/mtrs of new space and repurpose 450 sq/mtrs of inefficient and underutilised existing space. We will replace the remaining portion of the original building on our present site (1961) which has become costly to maintain and limiting in its functionality.
Gains will include several new meeting rooms, increased parking, improvements to the Preschool, an additional kitchen and expanded auditorium capacity.
The work is consistent with the master plan presented to members in September of 2014 and it extends the vision and forethought of the build works completed 12 years ago. Detailed drawing are available above.
How much will it cost?
A one page overview was presented before the members meeting, 12 October 2016, 7:30pm NewHope Community Events Room.
I have heard it is an "owner-build" project, why are we doing that and what does it mean?
We are managing the construction rather than outsourcing the work to an external builder. This provides cost savings and build flexibility. A site manager appointed by Church Council will oversee the work and Jordan Hill will continue to oversee the project as well as manage the Electrical Installation. There is an advisory group accountable to Church Council, This group is made up of experienced professionals who attend our church and work within the construction industry, this group will provide general oversight and feedback to the council as well as accountability to the church.
What is the current timeline?
How will events, ministries and worship services be affected?
NewHope will continue to operate fully through the build period. We will have reduced space and a section of the building will be cordoned off through most of 2017 creating constrictions and some inconvenience, but this will not curtail our activities. Several things to note during the build period:
Can I still hire a room?
There are limited availabilities for room hire in 2017 due to ministry activities all utilising the operating end of the building. There are still some free spaces for evening or Saturday (until 5pm) events, so please contact us at email@example.com
When are my pledges due?
The Building for God's Glory giving initiative is a three year program that began in October 2014 and will end in October 2017. In addition to generous one-off gifts many people made weekly / monthly / annual pledges spread over three years (2015, 2016, 2017). All pledges are due on or before 31 October 2017.
Can I start giving to this project now?
Yes. You can make a one-off gift at any time and you can join the Building for God's Glory initiative by making a gift in weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual instalments, to be completed by 31 October 2017. Your gifts will bind your heart to this project and the mission it enables. Thank you for giving this prayerful thought. Please contact Surette at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to make this happen.
How can I help?
The whole project from the start has been something we do together. Please keep praying for God's guidance in the more detailed decisions that will need to be made now through the construction phase. Please be praying too for the ongoing release of finances to enable the vision to be accomplished. There will be the opportunity to help at some working bees, especially around the grounds and in cleaning up at different stages. All of us will also need to keep our focus on why we are doing this, especially when there is some inconvenience or adjustments we need to deal with some weeks.

The Strad Issue: January 2010
Musicians: Suyoen Kim (violin) Weimar Staatskapelle/Michael Halász
Composer: Joachim
Joachim's name as one of the most profound musicians of the 19th century is linked primarily to his violin playing, although his talent as a composer was of equal potential. His cadenzas are perhaps his most frequently heard music today.
The op.3 Concerto has great freedom of form and an easy Romanticism, while the 'Hungarian' Concerto is a tour de force and one of the longest and most difficult works in the repertoire. Joachim's control of orchestral colour is exemplary and his influence upon Brahms is evident.
German-trained Suyoen Kim, winner of the 2005 Young Artist Award of North Rhine-Westphalia, delivers clean and muscular performances and the Weimar Staatskapelle plays in exemplary fashion, the whole enterprise being recorded cleanly and sensitively by Naxos. Only some rather contentious remarks in the booklet notes by Keith Anderson regarding Joachim's attitude to Wagner mar this superb disc.
Kim's command of the works' many challenges is excellent, with commendable purity of intonation and a warmth and depth to the sound, especially in bravura passages on the G string. Her playing, while familiar to modern ears, would undoubtedly have attracted the composer's criticism, though, in terms of both vibrato (Kim uses a modern, 'continuous' vibrato of which Joachim would have strongly disapproved), and rhythm, which would have been much more elastic than here (as his own discography illustrates).

Electric Nesmith Beanie
As part of the "My Mountain Hat Competition", I designed
3 hats using new yarns by Schachenmayr. I needed an
over-sized beanie! It had to be orange and pink and it
had to have a giant pompom! When rolling up the brim,
I noticed a similarity between my hat and the one worn
by my favourite member of The Monkees - Mike Nesmith.
The unique quality this yarn possesses, is a reflective
fibre included in the spinning process which makes this
an ideal hat for being noticed during the day and night!

Philipsburg-Osceola grads get their wish for outdoor ceremony
The weather was on the side of the Class of 2014. Months ago, Philipsburg-Osceola's senior class lobbied hard for graduation to be held outside, on the green grass of Memorial Field, with plenty of room for parents, family and friends to look on and celebrate the culmination of 13 years of lunchboxes, spelling lists, math tests and homework, homework, homework. Mother Nature cooperated, and commencement was perfect.
WHERE: American Legion Memorial Stadium
COLORS: Navy blue and gold
VALEDICTORIAN AND SALUTATORIAN: Timothy Kirk Eason took the top spot, giving his speech a patriotic flair as he exhorted his classmates to be their best for their country.
"America, she needs us. ... I believe every person has the potential to do great things."
Runner-up Sarah Anne Chorle told the class that their diplomas were keys to the future, different for each of them.
"Find your key. Find your door," she said.
MUSIC: The class song was pitch-perfect for the occasion, "Don't You Forget About Me." But the songs that were performed set a very different tone. Musical theater diva Hunter Lynn Nicholson opened the ceremonies with "A Change in Me," from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," a song that spoke of how experiences turn people into something they weren't before.
Classical singer Natalie Magee Conte ended things with the dramatic, operatic "Time to Say Goodbye," made famous by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, a final farewell to her school and her classmates.
WORDS OF ADVICE: Superintendent Gregg Paladina told the class not to let others' perceptions of them hold them back, like the college professor who told him he would never be a good teacher, or the high school teacher who told him he would never do well in college. More than that, he encouraged them not to let their own ideas about what they can and can't do get in their way.
WHAT THEY WILL MISS: "Athletics. It was my favorite thing here. Football, wrestling, baseball. ... It's something I'm always going to love throughout my life," said Nicholas Daniel Grey, who will go on to play football at Juniata College.
HOW THEY FELT: The excitement of the class was unmistakable. P-O graduations usually end with a solemn procession that deteriorates into a party in the parking lot, but the Class of 2014 didn't make it that far.
Principal Robin Stewart acknowledged, "I don't see this becoming a traditional recessional, so I wish you all safe travels home."
WHERE DO THEY GO FROM HERE: Aaron David Mason — whose father, David Mason, a 1976 alumnus, received the P-O Learners, Today's Leaders award at the ceremony — goes on to study business at Thiel. Victoria Nicole Reams is excited to start work once she gets her cosmetology license. Gary Lane Ralston is enlisting in the Army and hopes to be at basic training before the end of the summer.
CAP AND GOWN STYLE: The boys wore blue and the girls wore white, but there was definitely more flair than that. Like Tiffany Lucille Bertothy's cowboy boots, or the lime green laces on Preston Tyler Eirich's sneakers, or the stars and stripes Kaleb Jyles Guy boasted across his mortarboard.
PHOTO OP: Audrey Jean Wawrynovic knows how to make an entrance, with hair as bright as blue raspberry cotton candy. She also knows just the right time for a pic, as she stopped traffic on the stage to take an impromptu cellphone selfie.

The Michigan House-approved legislation making it harder to achieve tenure is based on established principals of accountability and service. More than making it easier to get rid of ineffective teachers easier, it liberates them from restrictive union dictates and puts them on a path to free agency.
In a nutshelll, the package of bills is intended to address the current crisis in education with radical but necessary reforms. It extends the time to achieve tenure from four to five years, strips tenure from ineffective teachers, limits how seniority is applied when issuing layoffs and removes provisions under which teachers can only be fired for "reasonable and just cause."
Although they carve a sensible and clear path to reform, teacher unions contend these modifications are a corruption of tenure laws that exist to protect teachers from being fired for "unfounded" reasons. In practice, though, tenure protects teachers against ever being terminated.
There is no substitute for good teachers. But when we look at the "quality" of some teachers, we find too many that don't make the grade. School administrations can't terminate incompetents because tenure laws have made it virtually impossible to discipline or even transfer those involved in misconduct or poor performance. Boards of education would rather buyout bad teachers rather than take on the complex and time-consuming tenure labyrinth.
The pending legislation would give desperate schools a bit more freedom to hire the best and fire the worst teachers. Negotiated contracts would remain in place and be more than enough protection against arbitrary acts of administrators.
It also allows for improved evaluations based in part on teachers' effectiveness in advancing student achievement. Every opportunity should be provided for them to improve, but those not prepared for the challenges of the classroom, or who represent poor role models for two consecutive years, could be removed from tenure and placed back on probation, or encouraged to seek a more suitable job.
Amendments to teacher certification are timely as well. Certifications tend to judge teachers by what college courses they took, not by what they know and how well they can communicate that knowledge. Relaxing certification rules would make it easier to employ people with specialties in math, computer and hard sciences, or to accommodate curriculums offered in charter or schools of choice.
Merit pay, also opposed by unions, could be a catalyst for implementation of teacher free agency, particularly if coupled with giving them greater responsibility in determining curriculum, discipline, work rules, budgets and teaching methods. Teachers would then be expected to keep up-to-date (in-service training) at their own expense. Failure to do so would mean less opportunity for advancement.
Teacher union resistance is predictable. Union officials are duty-bound to act in the interest of all of their members. But without changes in the rules of hiring, training, pay and retention there is little incentive for some of them to do a good job. This solidarity with underperforming classroom instructors corresponds with a growing decline in teacher accountability and professionalism.
Good teachers will view these changes as liberating them from a system that offers few incentives or rewards beyond what the contract provides. Step-increases, after all, are automatic or based on the number of degrees a teacher achieves rather than ability and accomplishment.
Granting teachers free agency would let the best test the market, peddle their talents to the highest bidder and be paid on the basis of his or her talents. Competition would separate the good from the bad. More importantly, the proposed changes to the tenure law, coupled with other reforms, shift the debate from what's good for teachers to what's best for children.

The space assets of Deimos Imaging and SIIS include Deimos-1, Deimos-2 and the KOMPSAT series KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, KOMPSAT-3A and KOMPSAT-5, resulting in a wide portfolio of X-band SAR and optical data in a wide range of resolutions, from 22 m to 0.4 m per pixel.
The combination of radar with very high-resolution optical imagery will allow observation of the Earth day and night, regardless of weather conditions, and is intended to provide a constant asset monitoring service. This is key for a wide range of applications, especially those requiring frequent monitoring over the same area of interest and real-time response, such as emergency services, border and maritime surveillance and defense and security. Additionally, this collaboration is expected to provide customers with an exceptional level of decision making data, and to create a unique and crucial benefit for users in various sectors while strengthening the positions of both companies in their respective markets.
The assets of SIIS now combine with the recent strategic partners aligned with Deimos Imaging, resulting in a multi-satellite, multi-resolution virtual constellation, to deliver imagery services and geo-analytic applications to customers globally. These strong partnerships are designed as 'win-win' to secure the success and sustainability of all the partners involved in the ever developing and growing Earth Observation industry.
Mr. Wookhyun Choi, VP at SIIS, stated that the company is delighted to be an authorized distributor for Deimos Imaging. This is a great opportunity to broaden the firm's reach and widen geospatial data distribution options, as the company is introducing Deimos Imaging's imagery to the firm's resellers while presenting KOMPSAT to their networks. This will allow SIIS to provide customers with more precise answers to their needs.
Fabrizio Pirondini, CEO at Deimos Imaging, added this collaboration supports and strengthens the company's data strategy to meet a growing range of customer needs by providing them with fast, customized and ready-to-use solutions. This agreement confirms the importance of partnerships and alliances with other stakeholders to significantly accelerate decision making in a great variety of fields. In addition, this joint service increases the company's portfolio of sensors and market reach with new geo-intelligence products, thanks to the combination of SAR and very high resolution optical data.

5. If we purchase only one Kit, can we have multiple people facilitate it? The license agreement allows for only one facilitator. You would need to get additional kits for each person you have facilitating. Contact us for multiple order discounts.
What format can I deliver this material in?
Oh so many options! You can take one module and give an hour long talk, two or three for a workshop, use all modules for a six-part tele-class or group coaching program. Some love to use it as a six week 1-1 coaching program!
I'm worried about filling my classes once I buy the program!
This is a common fear. That's why we've included marketing flyers, web copy, social media posts, and tips on how to get butts in seats! It's all in there.
What if I'm nervous about public speaking?
You are normal. But no sweat here, because the Facilitator Guide is packed with tips, prompts, and scripts to keep you feeling confident. Plus, we recommend exactly where you can find further support to improve your speaking skills. Boom!
How will this program build my business and get me clients? That is the genius of the program. Besides getting you out in front of your target market, the content has been specially designed to highlight the areas in which participants need further support. They'll be knocking down your door. Plus, you'll get client sign-up sheets and other tools to make enrolling clients easy without feeling "salesy."
What's kind of exposure will I get for being Licensed?
You'll also get listed on the Find a Facilitator page and may qualify to be a highlighted facilitator featured on our social media channels.
What kind of on-going support is there?
You are not in this alone. You get access to our private Facebook community page with other facilitators to share best practices and strategies for success. Very inspiring. Very cool.
Why should I buy THIS program over the others out there?
· Flexibility: You arrange the modules to create the program that meets your needs.
· Originality: The refreshing, catchy Oh, shift! concept draws people in like crazy. You'll have them at hello.
· Profitability: The content has been specially designed to help clients self-identify as 1-1 clients that want to hire YOU.
Is the language in the book going to be offensive to my organization's decision makers?
We get that some institutions are restricted from using language that's controversial. Keep in mind that there's no swearing in the books and that the play on words is part of the power – how changing one little letter changes a person's reality. The language of the book is super effective in reaching adults and teens in the manner in which they speak. There are a thousand programs out there playing it safe - we choose to use language that resonates with people and meet them where they're at.
I really want to bring Oh, shift! to my office, but I'm not a teacher or inspirational coach. How will I get the message across to my staff or coworkers effectively?
We've got you covered. This complete, turn-key system gives you everything you need to deliver life-changing content that makes shift happen for your colleagues or staff. Each of the six 45-60 minute modules is power-packed with activities and discussion, all ready to go. The Kit comes with the Facilitator's Guide, which includes step-by-step instructions and scripts, making facilitation a breeze. mp3 recordings of Jennifer Powers facilitating each module will increase your understanding of the material and model effective delivery.
I work with teens. Should I get the Workshop Kit or the Curriculum?
The Oh, shift! for Teens Workshop Kit is designed for mentorship or after-school programs. It's super flexible and caters to the varying times you may have available with your teens.
The Oh, shift! for Teens Curriculum is designed for traditional classroom settings with students and teachers, complete with textbooks and workbooks that meet common core curriculum standards for reading and writing. Both the Workshop Kit and Curriculum help kids learn how to use their words with power, deal with the tough situations they face, and build their self-esteem. Learn more about each teen program.
Do you accept PO's?
Indeed we do. Just fill your cart with all the goodies you need and when you go to checkout, you will have the option to submit a PO. Easy breezy.
What age range is the Oh, shift! for Teens book and program for?
We recommend between 13 and 18 years old. However, we've had a few mature 11 and 12 years olds say they really dig it too! If you're working with people older than 18, you're going to want to move to the Adult Workshop Kit.
Can Jennifer and Mark come speak directly to our teens?
We're flattered! But we are here to support you in your work with teens. So instead of doing workshops directly to teens, we do presentations to adult audiences. Then you get to take the message to your kids.
We do, however, have licensed facilitators of our teen program that we are happy to put you in touch with. They would be happy to come speak with your teens! Contact us for more info.

Series: Fifty Shades #1
Published by Vintage Boks on April 3, 2012
Genres: BDSM, Erotica, Romance
Pages: 528
Format: eBook
Source: Library
When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires.
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.
This book is intended for mature audiences
My Review (3/24/13):
I have really mixed feelings about Fifty Shades. I had heard it was fan-fiction for the Twilight series, so while there were several bits that felt familiar (especially the basic characterization of many central characters: Ana/Bella, Christian/Edward, and José/Jacob, Grey family/ Cullen family, Ana's parents/Bella's parents ), I was pleasantly surprised that the plot diverged so substantially. For some reason (maybe because it's Twilight fan fiction) I also had thought the book had a similar supernatural element to it, so I was slightly disappointed to discover it did not.
That was a minor, short-lived disappointment though, which was unfortunately surpassed by other disappointments. I think all the hype surrounding this book did it a disservice, because I was expecting something really great and exciting. For me a good book often centers on the character development; I need characters that I both love and believe in. I never fell in love with Ana or Christian, and on many fronts they remained all too fictional, because they just weren't 3 dimensional or believable enough.
Enough of the bad, though! I may not have loved the characters, but they were still fun to read and their sexual escapades never failed to entertain (even if sometimes they were more laughable than erotic). And Christian is a hopelessly damaged man with potential to grow into a character that I could really care about. If you're looking for a fun and at times steamy read, this is the book for you. If you're looking for a masterpiece, with complex characters and incredible plots, move on. If you do read it (and enjoy it) make sure you have the next book ready, because the book ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger!

The decline of America's middle-class neighborhoods
New research shows a steady increase in the extent to which Americans are geographically divided by income. The below charts are from a paper by Kendra Bischoff and Sean Reardon, professors at Cornell and Stanford respectively, on what they refer to as "residential segregation by income". (h/t to Kevin Drum)
They find a shrinking number of Americans live in middle class neighborhoods, and a growing number of people living in poor, affluent, or high income areas.
Drum worries the trend means that the "well-off have less and less interaction with the poor outside of the market economy, and less and less empathy for how they live their lives."
The researchers also found a marked increase in family income segregation by race.
Bischoff and Reardon discuss the impact of black and Hispanc families living in increasingly income-segregated neighborhoods:
These trend lines can be thought of as describing the extent to which families' exposure to same-race neighbors of varying income levels has changed over time. Increasing income segregation among black families means that poor black families have fewer middle-class black neighbors in 2009 than in 1970.
The trends… highlight the growing socioeconomic diversity within historically disadvantaged groups. This pattern among black and Hispanic families may exacerbate "concentrated disadvantage" when coupled with the persistent racial segregation that pervades most American metropolitan areas. In short, racial segregation coupled with income segregation means that low-income black and Hispanic families will tend to cluster in communities that are disadvantaged along a number of dimensions, such as average educational attainment, family structure, and unemployment.
The researchers also note that "during the last four decades, the isolation of the rich has been consistently greater than the isolation of the poor," a topic they argue deserves further study:
The increasing geographic isolation of affluent families means that a significant proportion of society's resources are concentrated in a smaller and smaller proportion of neighborhoods. This has consequences for low- and middle-income families: the isolation of the rich may lead to lower public and private investments in resources, services, and amenities that benefit large shares of the population, such as schools, parks, and public services.

We need to stop thinking in terms of victimhood, more government transfer payments, and income redistribution, and emphasize creating the conditions that will lead the private sector to feel confident enough to invest more, and thereby raise the national growth rate.
Wouldn't this indicate that high income blacks and Hispanics are even less willing to live amongst their own low income brethren? What does that tell you?
Walsh/Bishoff/Reardon seem to have taken a perspective and then used statistics to "prove it". Not that that's all that rare in academia today, but readers deserve better from the highly educated.
There is no "decline of middle-class neighborhoods" in the physical sense, as inferred. What the charts show is that an almost equal number of individuals formerly counted as being in the "middle class" are moving up (and out) as are moving down (and out).
What is ignored here is in the details of the increasing geographic and physical concentration observed. That difference is largely one of choices.
By and large poor areas tend to be contiguous, with those with better economic choices clustering in the better located and higher quality housing. No one with any choice at all wants to live in an area predominately filled with poor black families. Middle-class black families move away as soon as they can…and into "middle-class" neighborhoods. Duh?
At the same time, these areas also show the preference of Hispanics to live with and around other Hispanics. Why would it be any surprise that people with choices will always tend to "cluster" with others of similar education, expectations, and financial capability?
It is only when one contemplates the upper income "gated communities" (we're not talking apartments, condos, town homes and the like here) that the rich become truly isolated. They may then move beyond "city taxes" into county areas, then sending their children to private schools (or home schooling), or not.
In each case the very opulence of their homes and property will be assessed to proportionally support local "Schools, parks, and public services."

The few, the proud,
the elite of meat!
A word of warning first: Historically we have had very low turnover. So it's possible that few if any positions will be open at a given time, and the competition for them may be keen.
There's a reason for that. It's because this is a great place to work. We offer competitive wages, generous benefits to our full-time staff, and a work environment that is energized, team-oriented, and respectful of the individual. That's why so many of our staff have lost count of how many years they've been a part of the team.

Pathways, A bevy of interactions
In this section learn that receptors activate each other before binding an adaptor molecule and an exchange factor.
From our position in the cell's cytoplasm, we can see the ends of the receptor (in gray) being drawn together as the growth factor outside the cell binds. The receptor ends activate each other before binding an adaptor molecule (shown in pink) and an exchange factor (shown in light purple). An important protein in this pathway, known as Ras (shown in red) then swings around to be activated. Ras, in turn, activates three white "Raf" proteins, before another protein (shown in blue) moves in to deactivate it. Ras is a key "switch" in this pathway – mutations in the ras gene and protein are common in cancer cells. Molecules identified: Raf: A protein that interacts with the Ras protein. Raf is an example of a kinase enzyme, able to activate other proteins by adding phosphate molecules to serine and threonine amino acids. Mutations in the Raf protein are present in a large percentage of human malignant melanomas. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors: PDGF receptors are large membrane-spanning proteins with an extracellular and an intracellular component. Two PDGF receptor proteins "dimerize" to bind a single platelet-derived growth factor. The cytoplasmic portion has kinase activity – able to add phosphate molecules to other molecules to activate them. This receptor can contribute to cancer if rendered active for an extended period of time. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2): A protein that acts as adaptor molecule between a growth factor receptor and other signaling proteins. In a key signaling pathway, Grb2 binds an active PDGF receptor and activates a guanine-nucleotide exchange factor for the Ras protein. Ras: A protein loosely associated with the inner surface of the cell membrane. The Ras protein binds guanine nucleotides – guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). When a stimulatory signal arrives, Ras releases its GDP and acquires a GTP molecule, entering an active state and emitting a signal to another protein. After transmitting the signal, Ras deactivates itself by cleaving a phosphate molecule from the GTP to reduce it to GDP, or another protein called Ras-GAP comes in to break the GTP down. A single amino acid change can alter the function of Ras, causing it to bind GTP but making it unable to deactivate. Ras mutations are prevalent in many human cancers, including colon, skin, and lung. Ras guanine exchange factor (GEF): Activates the Ras protein by exchanging a bound guanosine diphosphate (GDP) for guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors: PDGF receptors are large membrane-spanning proteins with an extracellular and an intracellular component. Two PDGF receptor proteins "dimerize" to bind a single platelet-derived growth factor. The cytoplasmic portion has kinase activity – able to add phosphate molecules to other molecules to activate them. This receptor can contribute to cancer if rendered active for an extended period of time. Ras GTPase activating protein (GAP): A regulator of the Ras protein's signaling activity. Ras-GAP stimulates Ras's own weak ability to reduce bound guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to guanosine-diphosphate (GDP), thereby rendering itself inactive. See Ras.

Instagram username: @tooheyiii
I am currently enrolled at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts (USA) as a 4th-year undergraduate student. I will pursue my Masters in Architecture starting the fall of 2017. I have been a member of two different architecture practices: Arrowstreet, Inc. and TMS Architects, located in Boston, MA and Portsmouth, NH, respectively. I grew up around New Hampshire's seacoast area and currently live in the city of Boston.
Vertical Corridor
A new grand gesture in both vertical and horizontal planes allows for the redirection of MIT's Infinite Corridor. The proposed master plan is a thoughtful response to Eero Saarinen's 1954 master plan, the current site context, and MIT's needs and desires as a leading institution in science and engineering. Identifying 9 concepts visible through the lens of a mid-twentieth century architect allowed for setting the framework for a design process relevant in today's world with great hopes for the future built environment. After a class-wide site analysis, the current state of West Campus presents a few problems worth solving through architectural intervention: a lack of identity and loosely defined/underutilized public space.
Maintaining awareness of these site problems, in conjunction with MIT's increasing demand for on-campus housing, provided the necessary elements for what led to the proposed master plan. The blending of local landscape with the proposed architecture helps create a new platform for an engaging new dialogue between students and the general public, rewarding the community with new perspectives that contribute to West Campus's new identity. Vertically-focused architecture within the immediate context of Kresge Auditorium, the MIT Chapel, and the Student Center encourages a new dynamic of social interaction on campus and responds to a spectrum of scales: from city to room. The vertical corridor generates a new and exciting social exchange between the student body and local Cambridge community.
