Get the DealBook newsletter to make sense of major business and policy headlines — and the power-brokers who shape them.
The title of Michael Ovitz's autobiography significantly understates the scope of its ambitions. "Who Is Michael Ovitz?" does not just want to recast the popular image of the co-founder of Creative Artists Agency, the influential talent agency of the late '80s and early '90s, it seeks to settle countless scores and re-litigate old arguments. The result is revealing and fascinating, although probably not precisely in the ways that Mr. Ovitz intended.
Robert Evans's classic chronicle, "The Kid Stays in the Picture," provides the model for a successful memoir by a controversial Hollywood mogul who has fallen from grace. Mr. Evans, the former Paramount studio chief, is an unapologetic but lovable rogue. The narrative is compelling, if not always believable, because of the authenticity and consistency of his voice. Mr. Ovitz has had more than two decades to stew over being disowned by his former partners at C.A.A. and then fired by his one-time best friend Michael Eisner, after briefly serving as his No. 2 at the Walt Disney Company. Even if Mr. Ovitz still had the five assistants he describes at C.A.A. who kept his schedule and his stories straight, the sheer number competing agendas being pursued do not allow for linear storytelling.
The inconsistencies are evident early on in a single sentence describing his childhood: "I always stood out academically, even if none of my teachers took particular notice or encouraged me." How to believably assert both that one is an obvious prodigy and that no one remarked or helped?
This pattern repeats itself throughout the book. Mr. Ovitz brags that the motto of C.A.A. was "no conflict, no interest" and then defends himself against charges of conflict of interest. He takes credit for bravely pushing through successful movie projects in which no one else believed but then justifies his involvement in a failure on the grounds that he did not have the confidence to fight choices he suspected would not work.
During the litigation that followed his dismissal from Disney, Mr. Eisner's widely circulated emails described Mr. Ovitz as a "psychopath" and "habitual liar." His defense to this charge in "Who Is Michael Ovitz?" is to change the traditional definition of lying: "Lying to me is a point-blank misstatement with no purpose in mind." Given that Mr. Ovitz's alleged fabrications have generally been quite purposeful, this novel definition would seem an attempt to leave him in the clear. Besides, Mr. Ovitz protests, they were never lies to him; they were the tools he needed to get his job done.
In writing the autobiography, Mr. Ovitz faced the same challenge he overcame in getting Martin Scorsese's "The Color of Money," a sequel to the much earlier classic "The Hustler," produced: "No one under thirty-five remembered" the original. When I polled a current M.B.A. class at Columbia University, only three of the 75 students had any idea who Michael Ovitz was. But this is unfair to the continuing relevance of Mr. Ovitz's most remarkable accomplishment: creating a firm that for a brief time dominated in an industry that should resist domination.
As a study in the unusual personality traits required to pull this off, "Who Is Michael Ovitz?" represents a master class of sorts. Watching Mr. Ovitz simultaneously manage his clients and his partners while the going was good is something to behold: the strange fascination with gifting and clothing; the obsession with establishing bona fides in art and architecture; even the dissembling. It is not a package that could or should be replicated. But it all improbably worked for a time and might have gone on for longer if Mr. Ovitz had not convinced himself that he was destined for greater things.
And this is where Mr. Ovitz's career, and to a lesser extent "Who Is Michael Ovitz?," goes off the rails. All of us in service businesses — investment bankers, consultants, lawyers and the like — have a story about a colleague who decided he or she was wasted as a mere agent and should be a principal. These stories usually end in tears, for the colleague, for whoever they convinced to let them try their hand as a principal and most often, both. Successful service professionals must be good at one thing: sales. When they decide that sales are beneath them, bad things follow.
The point is not that salespeople are not capable of transitioning to business operators or investors. It is that the skills required to overachieve in those disciplines are markedly different. So some profound level of self-awareness is necessary to make such a switch. It requires at a minimum a respect for different capabilities and a willingness to do the hard work to acquire new expertise. And therein lies the problem. Self-awareness is not Mr. Ovitz's strong suit.
Mr. Ovitz tells the story of making his former martial arts trainer, Steven Seagal, into a movie star only to be fired once his client becomes certain he should be an Academy-Award-winning director rather than an increasingly fleshy action hero. "He had fallen prey," writes Mr. Ovitz without any suggestion that the criticism could be applied to his own situation, "to the entirely human delusion that if you succeed in one arena you can do anything."
Mr. Ovitz's own delusions are on painful display during his failed negotiations to lead MCA/Universal and most strikingly during his brief, frenetic tenure at Disney. Mr. Ovitz is certainly correct that Mr. Eisner had set him up for failure and never really wanted a successor, but even Mr. Ovitz's highly sanitized version of his time at Disney makes it clear how ill-suited he was for corporate leadership.
His efforts to justify the various deals he negotiated that Mr. Eisner subsequently vetoed only confirms how unmoored to reality Mr. Ovitz was and is. For instance, he complains that Mr. Eisner scuttled his "handshake agreement" to buy the book publisher Putnam for $350 million. He points out that the company, owned at the time by MCA/Universal, was quickly "snapped up" by Penguin and claims that today the asset would be worth "over ten times" what he could have had it for. In fact, Penguin, even with significant cost savings not available to Disney, paid less than Mr. Ovitz offered and, although the combined Penguin Random House with almost $4 billion in revenue was recently valued at around $3.5 billion, Putnam (which at the time had less than $300 million in revenues) would have been lucky to hold its value.
Mr. Ovitz is not so shortsighted as to deal exclusively with the past. He also tries to endear himself to those who might be helpful in the future. Ignoring that the current Disney leadership has been as ruthless as the previous in dispatching potential successors, Mr. Ovitz argues that Robert Iger "has led Disney to new heights as CEO" by empowering the people around him and "erasing Eisner's imprint." He even claims to have ignored his boss's directive to fire Mr. Iger while at Disney. Unable to restrain himself, Mr. Ovitz concludes that the real key to Mr. Iger's success, however, was doing "more or less what I'd tried a decade earlier."
The contrast between "The Kid Stays in the Picture" and "Who Is Michael Ovitz?" is best seen in the two books' final sentences. The irreverent and unrepentant Mr. Evans signs off with a profoundly felt, profanity-laced version of "screw 'em, screw 'em all." Mr. Ovitz, having acknowledged just enough mistakes to qualify as a repentant sinner, wants a second chance. "I miss the people," he assures us.

Le mythe de la courbe de l'adoption des technologies. Vous connaissez certainement la courbe de l'adoption des technologies du Gartner (le Hype Cycle – Wikipédia -, c'est-à-dire comme on devrait le traduire plus littéralement « le cycle du battage publicitaire des technologies ») publiée chaque année par cet institut d'études américain pour distinguer les technologies les plus prometteuses et celles en passe de tomber dans l'oubli.
Nicolas Nova sur le blog de la conférence Lift en faisait récemment une critique plutôt instruite, reprenant les propos de plusieurs blogs qui ont éreinté la méthode. Image : La courbe générale du Hype Cycle par le Gartner. La réflexion est partie du travail de Julian Bleecker qui essayait de dresser une typologie des façons dont on représente le futur. La courbe du Gartner décrit un cycle des produits et des technologies, mais estime que tous connaissent un pic d'attentes démesurées, puis, après une période de déception, qu'ils finissent par être adoptés par les gens.
Autre reproche. Psychology of Social Product Launches – Part 3, Storytelling. Sparking creativity in teams: An executive's guide - McKinsey Quarterly - Strategy - Strategy in Practice. Although creativity is often considered a trait of the privileged few, any individual or team can become more creative—better able to generate the breakthroughs that stimulate growth and performance.
In fact, our experience with hundreds of corporate teams, ranging from experienced C-level executives to entry-level customer service reps, suggests that companies can use relatively simple techniques to boost the creative output of employees at any level. The key is to focus on perception, which leading neuroscientists, such as Emory University's Gregory Berns, find is intrinsically linked to creativity in the human brain. To perceive things differently, Berns maintains, we must bombard our brains with things it has never encountered. This kind of novelty is vital because the brain has evolved for efficiency and routinely takes perceptual shortcuts to save energy; perceiving information in the usual way requires little of it. Immerse yourself Overcome orthodoxies What business are we in? The value of an idea. As an optimist, I believe that ideas have value, but when I put on my management hat I realize that ideas have value only once they are implemented.
So to answer the question, "what's the value of an idea? " I'd have to answer: zero. Unfortunately, ideas are a dime a dozen. Ideas that are implemented and become new products and services are very valuable. I guess ideas, like fine wines and cheeses, just get better with age. This calls into question how an organization or team can justify (financially) trying to improve innovation and idea management. How does one justify the expense of improving innovation, idea management, brainstorming and the "fuzzy front end"? There are probably many answers to this question, but here are few more likely ones: - Build it and they will come. . - We can't justify it so we should not invest. These two arguments are at the far ends of the spectrum - build without justifying and don't build since we can't justify.
An effort to get my ideas straight on what the web is about. What is Adding Value and How it Applies to Social Networking. As a social media advocate I often discuss adding value to the conversations, to the communities or to the relationships.
I guess I assumed everyone already knew what the term means and how it applies to them until I started to get questions from people. So what exactly is adding value and how? Is it just an over-used marketing jargon? An illusion of a feel-good emotion? The more I use the term "value" the more I feel like it's loosing its soul (I'm guilty as charge at times). One of my favorite artists, the awesome Hugh MacLeod had a great piece about Adding Value with the quote, "The aim of "adding value" is a hard one to argue with… who doesn't want to add value to their current enterprise?
Well, obviously there are many ways to look at it but here is how I perceive the meaning of adding value. Let's face it, most businesses wants to add value to the bottom line which means making sales and growing profits. The Meaning of Knowledge Emotion Trumps Logic.

Why I don't have New Years Resolutions and what I do instead...
Katie Gordon
Maybe I just don't like doing what everyone else is doing. My inner rebel likes to do things differently. Maybe it's because I know myself well enough to know that when I've had NY resolutions in the past, they last for about a week. Maybe my resistance to New Years resolutions is something I should look at. Whatever the reason, since I was young I just decided that I don't do resolutions. To me, it can feel like we're telling ourselves, "you're not quite good enough the way you are, so these are the things we're going to work on changing this year." Don't get me wrong, I'm all for growth and development. It's just that resolutions typically sound like a list of things that we'd like to change about ourselves.
Jeff Brown, author of Soulshaping, posted this beautiful quote today:
"Sometimes we forget how far we have traveled. Good to acknowledge what it took to get this far, all those hoops we had to jump through, all those difficult overcomings. Good to stroke our face with love and remind ourselves how much courage it took to brave the journey. Good to say 'thank you' to the spirit that walks within and beside us, reminding us that we are simply and utterly worth fighting for."
This is what the new year is about to me. It's about looking at this last year, and 2013 was a doozy for me, and telling myself "Damn! Look at all the amazing things I did and learned!! How lucky am I to have received this love, these lessons, and to have been in communion with such beautiful souls. How can I expand on this moving forward and how do I want to FEEL as I do?" Because it's not about getting things done or losing that weight or reaching a goal. It's about EVERYTHING that happens through the process. It's about the way you feel in the moment and what that's reflecting about your soul and your journey.
I've noticed we have some resistance, consciously or subconsciously, to feeling at ease, in our flow, and allowing things to happen without pushing. We like to MAKE things happen. We RESOLVE that things should be a certain way, so we're going to do whatever we need to do to get that outcome. That we need to be busy, to be working, to always be doing better (whatever that means). This year has taught me that all that is SO overrated. When we're in our flow, letting things take their course, moving and acting from the way we want to feel in our lives...THAT'S when the magic happens. That's when our soul and our vision can move through us and things can be seemingly effortless. Don't get me wrong, it takes effort to show up, to do our own work, to be present. But when we make that effort, the Universe/God/Goddess/etc. conspires and synchronizes to bring to us exactly what is needed.
So instead of resolutions this year, I'm taking time to reflect on what I want to FEEL more of this coming year. I'm inspired by one of my mentors, Danielle Laporte, to think about what my Core Desired Feelings this year/month/week/day are, and what can I do in order to feel those CDF's.
This year I want to feel In Communion, Abundant, Playful, Flowing, Expressive, Sensual, Free. What are your Core Desired Feelings? How do you intend to grow, expand, allow, and show up in 2014?

In practically pristine condition, the chalkboards at Emerson High School are covered in teachers' lessons and children's work dating back to 1917.
Looking through the images of the boards above, I notice one ongoing theme: The cursive writing is beautiful. Many of the slates are covered in fanciful looping curlicues done with care.
Sherry Read, a math teacher who was among the first at Emerson to see the boards, noticed the same thing.
"I love to look at the cursive on the boards because it's very beautiful and precise," Read told SFGate. "A lot of our kids today can't write in cursive writing and they can't read in cursive. Cursive has become a lost art."
The chalkboard script seem like an ancient relic as typewritten text is replacing handwriting in today's high-tech schools. Giant interactive digital screens known as Smart Boards are being installed over white boards and chalkboards. Students write papers and take tests on computers
Children have traditionally learned print in kindergarten and cursive in third grade. These days, many students don't master either form. Daily handwriting lessons have decreased from an average of 30 minutes to 15 minutes over the years, according to Time. Cursive instruction is no longer taught in some schools, and the new Common Core State Standards in place in most states don't make any note of "cursive."
My own children never received proper cursive instruction in their San Francisco public school. My daughter's third grade teacher said she didn't have time to teach longhand in class and sent the students home with a book for learning and practicing the writing form. My daughter completed the book, and at age 12 she can write in cursive, but she rarely uses it because she types most of her work. Writing conjoining letters with a pen is slow and tedious because she never got used to doing it.
My younger son never even received the cursive book in school and at age 10 he couldn't even read a recent thank-you letter from his grandmother written in long-hand. But in the fourth grade, he can already type a report, something I never did until my junior year in high school.
Today's tech-savvy children are whizzes when it comes to typing on the keyboard and doing work on the computer can be a faster, smoother process. Many experts are wondering whether educators should even bother with cursive lessons. Is it worth teaching kids a dying art?
Steve Graham, a professor in education at Arizona State University, believes schools should devote lesson time to penmanship. Graham has conducted research looking at cursive in the classroom, and found that a majority of primary-school teachers believe students with fluent handwriting produce written assignments that are superior in quantity and quality and result in higher grades–aside from being easier to read.
Graham's work has also shown that from kindergarten through fourth grade, kids think and write at the same time, Newsweek reports, and developing handwriting skills will help them later in life. "Only later is mental composition divorced from the physical process of handwriting. If [kids] have to struggle to remember how to make their letters, their ability to express themselves will suffer. The motions have to be automatic, both for expressive writing and for another skill that students will need later in life, note-taking."

Halo Eclipse is an online store selling stylish, sustainable eclipse glasses.
Halo came about in 2017 as people prepared to watch the North American eclipse. Halo's Founder, Liya Brook wanted to create something to replace environmentally unfriendly, throw away paper eclipse glasses - glasses that wore and felt like fashionable sunglasses, but gave high level protection for eclipse viewing. For her starter branding, we drew inspiration from space, stars and planets - one of my favourite details is the eclipse shape replacing the O in the new Halo logo. We wanted to strike a balance between a deep, moody feel and the light, minimalist feel of other fashion / accessories brands like Warby Parker, so we paired deep greens, blues and blacks with light greys, whites and golds.

The Peace in Gratitude ||10.29.14/
This was originally posted to There's Beauty in Recovery last week... jump through to the site at the end of the excerpt to read more...
Mantra: "I release all that does not serve me. I harness all the good that lives within."
One day a year, we dedicate our conversation and thoughts to all that we are grateful for and all that we have to give thanks. Just one day. For the rest of the 364 days, we go around lost in our pain and stories of suffering, forgetting how every minute of every day always, there are things to be grateful for are floating around, waiting to be caught and held close to our hearts. It's easy to get caught up, our brain naturally leaning towards negativity or anger; we might forget the cherished words we spoke of the very thing we now detest, or we might find that our brains no longer tolerate what we once loved. But on that one day each year, we speak of our plentitude and our gratefulness. Why don't we do this everyday?
To be grateful is to give thanks to all that is present in our lives. It is the turn of events that make us smile, the hugs that keep our heart warm, the laughter that keep our souls young. Some days it is gratitude for the plentitude of natural resources; the water that flows freely from a tap in the kitchen, the rain that lulls us to sleep at night, the sun that adds just another protective layer of warmth to our chilly days. Other days, there is gratitude in our desire to learn, in our ability to read, in our movement of limb and use of mind. From the smiles we receive from strangers to the long talks we have with those we love, gratitude can be found everywhere. Anywhere, any day, any time we can spot a few things in our day to send gratefulness towards.
We have Gratitude Mondays here on the blog... what are some things you are grateful for?

Review of The 12th Demon by Bruce Henningan
Publisher's Summary:
After defeating the thirteenth demon, Jonathan Steel and Josh Knight return to Dallas, Texas, to finish up Josh's family affairs. When they arrive, a mysterious assassin named Raven surfaces from Steel's murky, dangerous past. At the same time, Rudolph Wulf, the twelfth demon, has arrived from Romania with plans to fulfill a two-thousand-year-old promise to unleash an army of demonic creatures-creatures that will inhabit the bodies of his "vampyre" army. When Wulf kidnaps Josh, Steel must find them in time to save Josh from a violent death and to prevent Wulf from unleashing "vampyre majick" on the world.
I enjoyed the 12th Demon immensly. I will list why below, I usually don't do this in a review but I think it's the easiest way.
1) the story is very compelling. I didn't read the book before this in the series but I didn't feel too lost. It pulls you along and you can't wait to read the next page
2) The writing is very good. Bruce Hennigan writing style is very unique and different-in a good way. It;s hard to describe but it's refreshing and keeps the story going.
3) The main reason I found this so interesting was the fact that it dealt with religion. Now I was raised Roman Catholic but I don't follow/believe in everything it says, but I do have a strong faith in Jesus Christ. Most vampire book either A) make vampires the root of all evil and the devils advocate/spawn/worker/demon/ect. B) completely elude to religion-to hard to deal with.
The 12th Demon deals with religion in a very interesting way. It is an obviously influnce and pulls the story but it is used in a creative way. I like religion in books, even if it isn't my own religon, and I was really happy to see vampires and christianity in the same book-reminded me a lot of Anne Rice when she was still writing about vamps.
In Conclusion: An interesting, unique story that I feel many of my vamp fans will enjoy. I reccomend it.

Typical of many developer interviews is the technical portion - a section which presumably is designed to gauge the technical ability of the applicant to accomplish the tasks associated with the position being interviewed for. On the surface, a reasonable..nay...a completely necessary portion if one cares about any level of organizational success...in practice? The technical circus.
The problem is that the manner in which far too many organizations attempt to evaluate technical skill has little to no correlation to what actually makes a good/bad developer. You will all too often find this section of the interview littered with absurd questions such as the all too common fibonacci.
I once shot back to an interviewer after completing one of these circus tests - what makes a bad developer and how does this test help you identify said traits? It was a dear in headlights a very obvious realization (on their part - confirmation on mine) that there had been very little if any thought put into the limited time they had to judge whether an individual would be competent at completing the tasks at hand.
I'll answer my own question. I'll tell what in my experience makes a bad developer 100% of the time that I've encountered someone I would label as such. The list is short, sloppy, lack of discipline, inability to think beyond today or to realize that someone else other than themselves might have to change/update the code, realizing that THEY might have to one day update/change the code.
Tests such as the fibonacci sequence and the rest of these silly 'brain teaser' tests, are simply testing what I like to call the 'aha' or 'Eureka' moments of software development..how quickly you figure out 'how' to solve a specific problem. The thing is, software engineering isn't about the Eureka moment, it's everything that happens AFTER the eureka moment. Do you think clearly through the requirements and ensure that your solution properly solves all of them? Do you think through any/all potential edge cases and discuss with steak holders what the expected behavior is. Do you in your design display the coveted attribute of software that thinks about the future without designing for it. Is your solution not just code but functionally modular to an appropriate degree, allowing minimal interdependency and maximum maintainability?
This is what I want to know about a new developer and silly in person quizzes simply don't enable me to asses that - in fact the irony is that these 'tests' require a developer to do something that I generally discourage - start typing out a solution immediately without taking substantial time to let the requirements marinate and come up with a true production grade solution rather than some silly hack.
Any 'one hour' coding challenge is nothing more than technical hazing. You simply cannot meaningfully in a span of an hour start to finish possibly meaningfully gauge the technical chops of an individual.
I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do know there's a much more productive way to conduct technical interviews, one which a number of organizations are progressively adopting, one which enables organizations to get a much better glimpse into the developer's actual coding style and habits, one which much more closely resembles the actual software engineering work that we do. A simple mini-project such as this one that a previous director came up with, that allows you to see the developers approach to creating actual production grade software around specific constraints/requirements.
Upon completion of said project, you can (if it's completed to your satisfaction), then have them talk about their solution - what they were thinking, what assumptions (if any) were made, what the known limitations are etc. You can introduce changes to the requirements and see how they would handle a requirement change that conflicts with a fundamental assumption they made to some degree. This is just a much better approach to evaluating ability. Simpler, more comprehensive....but hey what do I know?

ABSTRACT: Ductal adenocarcinoma and its variants account for most pancreatic malignancies. High-quality multiphase imaging can help to preoperatively distinguish between patients eligible for resection with curative intent and those with unresectable disease. Systemic therapy is used in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant pancreatic cancer setting, as well as in the management of locally advanced unresectable and metastatic disease. Clinical trials are critical for making progress in treatment of pancreatic cancer. The NCCN Guidelines for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma focus on diagnosis and treatment with systemic therapy, radiation therapy, and surgical resection.

Lucerne - Travel Highlights - Day 7
We started our full day in Lucerne by walking the iconic Chapel Bridge. The Swiss built this bridge in the 1300s as part of the city defense system. The window openings on the south side of the bridge are smaller to give defenders more cover. The north side of the bridge opens to the city.
The bridge is decorated with artwork depicting the fishing town's history.
We dressed in our Sunday best since we attended worship in the Jesuit church on the waterfront built in 1666. The service was entirely in German. Then we walked along the Reuss river. A spikey fence in the river maintains the water level of Lake Lucerne. Further downstream stands the Mill Bridge.
The original train station burned down. Inside the new station notice the expensive Burger King combo for $10.
Then we boarded a boat for a two-hour float on Lake Lucern. We saw beautiful homes and people playing on the lakeshore. The high alps beckoned in the distance, our destination for tomorrow. I wanted to get there and experience the high elevation change of pace.
We headed back into Lucerne and walked the bridges at sunset. Then we walked on the lakefront at twilight before calling it a night.
Stay tuned for our next episode when we take in a smidge more of Lucerne before heading to the high alps and the Jungfrau region.

- 30% discount on BUSIT fares for Waikato University students
|2016-08-04 00:00:00
JOINT MEDIA RELEASE:University of Waikato students will get a 30 per cent discount on adult BUSIT fares in a new agreement just signed with Waikato Regional Council.
It is expected the 12-month trial offer will take effect by 1 February next year, regional councillors agreed during today's finance committee meeting. The decision is due to be ratified by council at its meeting on Thursday 25 August.
The discounted fares will be available to all University of Waikato students paying with a BUSIT card and travelling on any of the regional council's buses into and out of Hamilton, or within the city. That means a university student on a Hamilton bus will pay just $1.70 – down from the $3.30 adult cash fare and 30 per cent less than a $2.40 adult BUSIT card rate.
The university will fund the scheme from some of the income from the introduction of paid parking on the Hamilton campus this year.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Neil Quigley said paid parking was introduced to alleviate pressure on land, and to ensure the university is being as sustainable as possible. "I promised students we would investigate the possibilities of funding sustainable travel, so I'm very pleased with this outcome. I congratulate the regional council for working with us to make travel easier and cost-effective for our students."
Regional council chief executive, Vaughan Payne, said: "We're excited to be able to provide university students with discounted fares, we know it's something they've wanted for a long time.
"Statistics show that our bus services are already being used by a large number of students – in March there were more than 11,000 passenger boardings at university bus stops. It's also estimated that around 6 per cent of all bus trips in Hamilton in March were for travel to and from the university.
"So we expect this agreement with the university to make bus travel an even more affordable option for students," Mr Payne said.
He added that council staff would work with other tertiary education providers in Hamilton to discuss a similar scheme, but third party funding would be needed to offset costs.
How the region's bus service is funded
The region's public bus service costs Waikato Regional Council about $23 million a year. Less than 40 per cent of that cost is covered by fares, with the rest paid for by regional council ratepayers and the New Zealand Transport Agency.

USIP commissioned the evaluation of 07 grants as unified program named 'Countering Extremism and Promoting Peace and Religious Tolerance (CEPPRT)' to AAN Associates, an Islamabad based development consulting firm, specializing in evaluations (www.aanassociates.com). The evaluation is 'Formative' in nature with an expressed purpose to accumulate learning and inform future programming. Moreover, it expected evaluators to assess the USIP grants making processes and systems, recommend changes and facilitate USIP develop an enabling grants development and management system. The evaluation has been carried out using mixed method approach. The overall methodology for the evaluation was based upon a customized modification developed by the consultants of the Systems Dynamic Model (SDM) approach developed by William Ddembe1 . The approach was a practical adaptation of two management cycle models – the Waterfall Model (Sorensen, 1995), and the Research & Development Model (Murphy, 1989). The evaluators gathered relevant secondary and primary information by undertaking extensive secondary sources review and applying multiple yet complementary primary information techniques entailing key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and field visits.

Make a Paper Towel Dispenser for Your Workspace or Craftroom.
I've eliminated wasteful use of paper towels in nearly every aspect of my life- except in a few instances when working on projects...if anyone has a better way to clean up oil-based stains or epoxy spills, please let me know.
So, one the rare occassions that they're necessary, they might as well look sharp and be available, so I built this paper towel dispenser. I used wood from my scrap bin, so it didn't cost me anything, but it could definately be built for under $12.
1/2" plywood (2'x4' is more than enough)
3/16" hardboard 6"x14"
1" dowel, at least 27" in length
Wood glue
Several bar clamps
8 3/4" screws
1" Spade bit
Jigsaw or bandsaw
Electric drill
Sandpaper or electric sander
Table saw or circular saw (optional)
Dado blade or router and 1/2" strait bit (optional)
1. Cut, or have cut, your plywood to the following sizes. Save excess to make dividers, if desired. I used a scrap piece of white oak, which is a total mystery to me, because oak doesn't particularly suit my tastes, and I have no idea how it ended up in my sheetgoods storage.
6x22" (x2)
4 1/2 x 6" (x4)
1/2 x 14" (x2)
2. Optional steps:
A. If you have the capability and the desire, run a 1/2" rabbet, 1/4" deep, on the short sides of the face pieces, those 3 1/2" x 14". If you'd like to make divider shelves, cut a 1/2" dado at equal intervals for the joint (mine were 5 and 4" from the ends).
B. If you want to recess the hardboard shelf, cut a 3/16" groove (two passes with the table saw (well, a pass and a half-kerf pass) 3 1/2" down on the back of all the face pieces. You'll then make the hardboard 6" x 13 1/2" to compensate.
3. To make the dowel brackets, drill a 1" hole with it's center 1 1/4" from the top. Mark cut lines on the outside edge to the top edge of the bracket. Use a jigsaw or bandsaw (or even a handsaw) to cut along the lines.
4. Assembly. Glue the four dowel brackets to the inside of the long pieces (see photo). Attach with (2) 3/4" screws. Attach the shelf 3 1/2" from the top, and glue on the face pieces. Insert any dividers, glue, clamp, and allow to dry.
5. Cut the 1" dowel to (2) 13" lengths.
6. Sand the edges to a fine grit, and stain as you please. Be sure to stain the dowels as well.
7. Add the paper towel rolls (which you'll use sparingly) and fill the top caddy.
8. To hang from the wall, use some heavy duty picture hangers or a cleat system for portability.
**Note: My amiga built a similar project, from which I was inspired. She said she built it a few years ago with plans from a magazine, but no longer has the information. If anyone has a reference, please let me know so I can cite it. Cheers.

Gray family
I had so much fun hanging out with and getting to know the Gray family last weekend. We got the perfect, warm, fall afternoon for our photoshoot in Laurelhurst Park. It was one of those perfect Sunday afternoons in Portland where it seems like everyone has a pep in their step and a smile on their face. We had so much fun watching little Lulu run around the park, chasing dogs, hiding from her parents and most importantly, giggling with her owl stuffy. It was such a pleasure to photograph a new family. I look forward to more shoots to come with this bunch.

Every single day, Breitbart News, which has become as much of a go-to news source for Trump supporters as Fox News, publishes at least one article about a member or members of the transgender community that is intended to outrage and inflame their readership. And outrage and inflame them these articles certainly do.
Every article, like this one, is followed by more than a thousand comments from people whose anger can be intensely felt radiating from the words, declaring that science has determined that there are only two possible genders, male and female, and that these genders are immutably set in stone, that transgender individuals are trying to indoctrinate our children in their perverse lifestyle, and that they are in danger of attacking everybody's wives and daughters in public restrooms. None of these assertions have any basis in fact, but their acceptance among Trump supporters is pervasive. I challenge you to find a single Trump supporter who doesn't cling to these misperceptions and outright lies about transgenderism as if they were gospel.
Where does this anger and hatred of transgender individuals come from and why is it so intense? Why do Trump supporters have such a heightened fear of a very small segment of the population embracing a gender identify that, in reality, doesn't affect the Trump supporters in even the tiniest capacity?
Trump supporters vehemently believe a number of things that just aren't true and can be pretty easily debunked. They believe that man-made global climate change is a liberal hoax, even though scientists overwhelmingly declare that it is a significant and increasing problem facing humanity. They believe that Barack Obama is a Kenyan born, and a secret Muslim, when in fact he is obviously an American who has always identified as a Christian. They believe that, instead of closing in on Donald Trump and his family and inner circle, Robert Mueller is preparing to arrest Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. They also believe that science has proven that men are men and women are women and never the twain shall meet.
Before we attempt to tackle the reasons behind Trump supporters' hatred and fear, let's first take a look at what the current science actually has to say about transgender identity. According to a recent article in Scientific American, imaging studies have demonstrated that there is an actual observable difference in the brains of those who identify as transgender from those who identify as cisgender (defined as those who identify with one of the traditional, binary gender roles).
Furthermore, evidence suggests that male to female transgender individuals have brain patterns that more closely resemble traditional females than traditional males. The reverse is also true. Female to male transgender individuals have brain patterns that more closely resemble traditional males than traditional females. This suggests that the primary factor in determining whether or not someone identifies as transgender is genetics rather than choice.
Studies also show that both gender and sexuality are far more fluid than we have previously understood them to be in this country. There are potentially infinite gradations between 100 percent male and 100 percent female. In American society, gender roles have been traditionally pretty set and rigid, but other societies, including several native American ones, have recognized and found value in more gender identities than just the basic two.
So once again I have to ask, what is the genesis of the hate and fear that Trump supporters show for this community? Even if there was no genetic element to transgenderism and it was merely an offbeat choice that some individuals decided to make, what difference would there be? Why should the choices of what has been determined to be somewhere between 0.3 and 0.7 percent of the population affect the rest of us at all? Frankly, if someone wanted to identify as a tree, there is no reason why that choice should anger or frighten anybody else in America.
One obvious point is that people who identify as conservatives are a lot less receptive to any kind of change than people who identify as liberals or progressives, and those conservatives are also more likely to cling to traditional elements of American society. I think it's a lot more than that, however.
I think the overarching mind set of Trump supporters at this time, and both Fox News and Breitbart are more than happy to help reinforce this on a daily basis, is a feeling of being under siege. They believe themselves being attacked from all sides, by immigrants and feminists, by globalists and homosexuals, by Muslims and advocates of Sharia law. More than anything else, though, they see themselves being attacked by progressives and liberals. Progressives and liberals call them racist and stupid. Progressives and liberals want to take away their guns and force them to have abortions.
Some Trump supporters believe that progressives and liberals want to round them up and force them into camps. They have been taught to hate and fear liberals and progressives as well as to hate and fear "the other," and the transgender community falls into both camps. They know that liberals and progressives support equal rights for transgender individuals, just as they support taking action to combat climate change, so they know that these things need to be fought at all cost.
Of course, I'm only guessing here, but part of the hatred and fear could also be a product of Trump supporters having difficulty watching other people live out their truth in happiness and freedom while they have elements about themselves that they are not able to accept.
This would all be sophistry if not for the real life human cost of the marginalization and discrimination that members of the transgender community suffer. Transgender individuals, particularly those in their teens, suffer from depression at a higher rate than cisgender people, and the rate of transgender suicide is extremely high, according to this article in the Huffington Post. This is a natural outcome among people who have been as ostracized as the transgender community has. The continued repression, the constant repetition that there is something wrong, something dangerous or evil, about people who are simply following their genetic mandate and trying to live in their truth costs actual lives.
It's probably a hopeless cause to try to deter the minds of Trump supporters from this particular prejudice, or any of their others for that matter, but we need to keep challenging them on this subject. It may save the life of the next transgender teenager on the edge.

Facebook friends accused of killing troubled Eagle Scout
RALEIGH - This fall, life bore down on Matt Silliman.
There was the on-again-off-again love affair with his girlfriend. His dad didn't like his new style: dyed hair and gothlike clothes. Since he turned 18 in August, he had set out to find the mother who gave him up for adoption when she was a teenager, said Taylor Cross, a friend from Apex High School.
"All of this was just stacking up," Cross said.
Matthew Josiah Silliman, an 18-year-old Eagle Scout, was found dead Wednesday in a mobile home used for storage in the rural community of New Hill, in southwestern Wake County. Four teens, friends from western Wake County, have been charged with his killing.
In late September, Silliman posted on his Facebook page a vulgar and desperate message, then suggested he would kill himself. Two days later, he was in a psychiatric ward at Holly Hill Hospital in Raleigh, according to Cross and Silliman's Facebook postings.
So, when Silliman disappeared the night before Thanksgiving, friends assumed he had run away. His parents called police, concerned that their son had vanished without his medication. They told friends from church that he'd probably gone camping, said his Scout troopmaster, Bart Vashaw.
No one thought Silliman, who thrived outdoors, could be in danger.

Coconut cookies!
I did it! I made cookies like a normal person. Without trashing the kitchen. Without having a
tantrum breakdown. Without using every utensil in the place. Without burning the cookies!
When my husband arrived home this evening the washing up was (mostly) done. The kids were fed and bathed and I was able to point to the bounty on the stove and say "there are cookies" without adding a long and tearful explanation of what went wrong or adding "but they're not that great because…" to the end of the sentence.
Oatmeal raisin cookies at the front (ignore the pale ones at the back they are my weird "banana peanut butter muffins" that no one but me will ever eat and that I make to use up old bananas, done as cookies to see what would happen).
I made easy oatmeal raisin cookies (all of my Google recipe searches start with the word "easy") and very scrummy coconut cookies. The coconut cookies consist of a cup of self-raising flour, a cup of coconut, a cup of sugar, an egg, and half a cup of butter. The recipe says to roll them into little balls and place on the baking sheet but word to the wise, they expand! My knowledge of baking chemistry is sadly lacking so I was expecting the little balls to just cook into little ball-shaped cookies like these European Christmas biscuits a friend of mine at grad school used to make. Instead they expanded to fill the whole baking tray and I had to cut them up. But they taste good. I mean, how bad is it really to eat a cup of coconut, a cup of sugar and half a cup of butter in one sitting? If anything it will help me put back on some of the weight I have lost from feeding L for 13 months and counting (at time of writing I have only had three cookies but the night is still young).
I am now feeling suitably self-satisfied and validated as a human being (how sad it is that baking a delicious cookie can do this for me). I am also wondering if these particular recipes are particularly
idiot-proof awesome or if tonight's success stems from the fact that for once I set a timer and took them out of the oven when it went off?
That and we had all the actual ingredients to hand.
Who knows? But yay cookies!
That is all.

A cab driver could "feel the heat" from a shotgun as it was fired over his shoulder through the windscreen of his taxi by an ex-bikie gang member amid a violent Gold Coast rampage, a court has heard.
Leonard David Toalei, 29, pleaded guilty in the Southport District Court on Wednesday to 10 charges including assault occasioning bodily harm, serious assault and going armed to cause fear.
The former Bandidos member is set to be sentenced on Thursday after the plea over the incident in the early hours of June 11, 2013 in Southport.
It began when Toalei, sitting in the back seat of a taxi, fired the shotgun through the windscreen of the vehicle.
Crown prosecutor Nicholas McGhee told the court on Wednesday the driver, who was unharmed, would later say he felt the heat of the blast on his shoulder.
Toalei, after firing the weapon once more and then dropping it, stole a milk truck, assaulting the driver, before crashing it a short distance away.
A video played in the court then showed the New Zealand-born Toalei enter a bus behind two passengers and start punching and grabbing the driver.
The footage from inside the bus shows the passengers attending to the bleeding driver as Toalei exits the front door.
Shortly after attempting to steal a car from a woman, Toalei was confronted by a police officer and a police dog.
After assaulting both, the heavily set Toalei was eventually restrained by six police who used capsicum spray and a taser on him.
Judge David Kent said the footage of Toalei's arrest showed he was an "extremely powerful individual" who was lucky not to have got himself shot by police through his conduct.
Mr McGhee said Toalei had an "appalling criminal record" and showed little regard for authorities.
He said letters from Toalei to his friends intercepted by correction officers suggested Toalei had been on the hunt for rival gang members when he began his rampage.
"I went by myself as a true soldier," Toalei wrote, before saying he was too "racked up" to feel anything when police had tasered him.
Defence barrister Sarah Thompson said her client battled significant mental health issues and his mental state had been disintegrating before the incident.
Ms Thompson said during his three years of incarceration since, Toalei had shown behavioural improvements.
"If he's medication compliant ... there is still some hope that my client will be able to conduct himself in a pro-social environment," she said.
Judge Kent is expected to deliver his sentence on Thursday.

Immersion Pilot First Night Reflections/
From Adam....
Tonight we started our first immersion! I think the excitement and anticipation between the 5 of us could power an ICT bus. Of course Prescott has that much energy every day of the week. Although I know I should be sleeping I couldn't do it. Not tonight. I am far too filled with visions of the church breaking loose from it's chains and running wildly on the streets. On the streets of SoCe of course, but also on the streets which our immersion students will occupy throughout their long journeys.
I also am overjoyed that Elaine Heath has joined us this week to both co-facilitate the immersion and companion our team as we discern and experiment with the baby that is our immersion program. Elaine is a professor at Perkins School of Theology and author of many wonderful books. (Start with Longing for Spring if you want a good read.) On top of all this Elaine is the perfect midwife for our project. She is protective, gentle, incredibly encouraging, and in the right moments speaks with power and authority that has caused us to push a new way of life into being for ourselves, our neighborhood, and hopefully our immersion students. We cannot begin to thank her enough.
Stay tuned for lots of pictures and stories from our first week hosting students!
