JoAnn Kulesza
Music Director,
Peabody Opera
Want just the facts? Click here!
It was all an accident… getting into Opera, that is. I was going to get my advanced degree and be a choral conductor at some nice University… when OPERA came along. I distinctly remember practicing in the finished-basement of my childhood home the summer between my sophomore and junior years, when my mother said to me, "You don't want to get into any of that opera stuff, do you?" "Oh, no!" was my firm reply. Now I'm the music director of the Peabody Opera Department. Never say never!
I don't think I'd ever seen an Opera before my undergraduate education at Western Michigan University. As for music, I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life. Starting piano lessons at 7 at the local music studio, it was a most fortunate accident that my piano teacher thrust Music Theory upon me. It seemed kind of fun. I was too young to know how good this was to be for me. I had a minimum of exposure to classical music there, but boy, could I read chord charts! If you can believe it, I was playing piano for an accordion band and the studio's wind ensemble! Because of all this, when the organist at our parish was looking for a substitute, she offered to train me in exchange for subbing a few Sundays a summer. By the time I was 14, I was organist/choir director at a Polish Catholic church.
High school can along and another fortunate accident: my parents enrolled me in the Palestrina Institute for Liturgical Music, where, among other things, I learned to read Gregorian chant. Every Saturday was spent attending this "high brow" school. This was my REAL indoctrination into classical music. My piano teacher even gave me Bartok! This all lead to majoring in Music at Western Michigan University… but in Music Education.
The first opera production I was involved in was Dialogues of the Carmelites by Poulenc — nice lite fare! I was rehearsal pianist for one of the acts, but boy, was I fascinated! Everything wrapped into one! AND I got to work with and listen to voices! Well, that was the beginning of the end of my nicely planned life. I taught public school music for two years because my "sensible" self told me that two degrees without experience WASN'T sensible. I went on to CCM, the College-Conservatory of Music of Cincinnati, to pursue a Master's Degree. I was SO ready for grad school, I soaked up everything there was to absorb, followed by what I considered my reward for two years of a hellish schedule: a job as repetiteuse at the Hochschule Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
As I flew into Salzburg, I kept pinching myself. It was heavenly beautiful! My colleagues, students, the Austrians were so gracious and supportive of my attempts at speaking German, but in four months, I was accused of being from Northern Germany by a native German! It was a wonderful experience, mostly being immersed in the culture and rich support of the arts. I came back to the States after two years, lured by a job at Wolf Trap to work with Roger Brunyate, who was a stage director at Cincinnati during my student days. We had a marvelous collaborative summer, which repeated itself the next year. In between that and our colleagueship now came many operas with regional companies, an apprenticeship at the San Francisco Opera, a coaching position at the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists in Chicago and many additional valuable experiences.
Being involved with so many young singers and, particularly, several apprentice programs for singers, I became accutely aware of how much was lacking in the training of budding artists, particularly with regard to language, recitative, how to learn, etc. I've chosen academia as my place of focus because I want to make a difference in the shaping of the artists of the future. I hope to share my passion for music, a strong commitment to excellence, and a total embrace of being the servant of the art with which we are entrusted.
When not absorbed in Opera, I like to spend time with my husband, Bill Riggs, sailing, golfing, traveling, and exploring the wonderful Eastern Shore of Maryland. I am also organist at Eastport United Methodist Church in Annapolis. We sometimes combine business with pleasure by sailing over on Saturday, spending the night on the boat, playing my church job on Sunday morning and sailing back afterwards. Ah, yes, life is rough!
JoAnn Kulesza is the Music Director of Peabody Opera programs. While much of her work inevitably takes place in the background, coaching singers and preparing productions for other conductors, she made her Peabody opera conducting debut in 2003 with the Berlin/Munich double bill, continues in that capacity today, for example leading productions for Opera Vivente and serving as assistant to Loren Maazel for his Chateauville project, in addition to Peabody operas.
Ms. Kulesza began her professional career on the staff of the Hochschule Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, where she coached and accompanied singers in Opera and Lied. Subsequent credits include the Michigan Opera Theatre, Wolf Trap Opera, and the Dayton, Toledo, and Kentucky Operas, as well as the Utah Festival Opera Company and the Seagle Colony Festival for Singers. As a member of the San Francisco Opera's Merola Program, she was awarded the Otto Guth Award for Coach/Accompanists and went on to serve as one of the pianists for the Western Opera Theatre tour. Ms. Kulesza spent four seasons as the staff pianist/coach at the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists in Chicago. She has served as guest faculty at the Pittsburgh Opera Center, and as a vocal coach at the University of Connecticut, as well as the Baltimore Opera Young Artist Program. She is much in demand as a guest educator and clinician throughout the country.
As a collaborative pianist, JoAnn Kulesza has played chamber music and vocal recitals throughout Europe and the United States, as well as accompanying master classes for such artists as Walter Berry, Edda Moser, Renata Scotto, and Placido Domingo. A choral music enthusiast, Ms. Kulesza has worked in many capacities with professional choruses, including the Chicago Lyric Opera chorus, the Chicago Symphony Chorus under the direction of Margaret Hillis, and as chorus master for the Washington National and Wolf Trap Opera Company. She feeds her love of choral music as director of two choirs at Eastport United Methodist Church in Annapolis, MD, and as music director of the Arundel Vocal Arts Society.

MBA in Marketing
An MBA in Marketing has become one of the most desired degrees by both students and employers in recent years. With the shift to digital and online marketing, most businesses now have their own, in-house marketing teams that specialize in bringing traffic and customers to the company.
While there are a number of specific areas of marketing (which are explored in the 'career options' tab) an MBA in marketing doesn't limit the degree holder to pursuing marketing careers alone. The skillset can be put towards dozens of other career options, from consulting to entrepreneurial management.
However, if you like the sound of taking on a diversified role in an ever-changing landscape, the role of the marketing manager might just be your calling.
All over the world, the MBA is the recognised management and leadership qualification. It's...
Featured Business Schoolsin TopMBA.com
Find out more about:
The MBA in marketing: Entry requirements
The broad nature of marketing, in that its remit can encompass everything and anything from art and design to human behavior and quantitative skills, means that almost any background can lend itself to the degree.
The basic entry requirements for an MBA in marketing are a solid GMAT score and GPA, typically above 600 and 3.0 respectively; a bachelor's degree – whether this is in a subject from the humanities or in pre-professional studies or anything in between; and most programs. As with any other MBA degree or specialization, admissions officers will, for the most part, be looking to see at least two years of experience before accepting a student into a program.
Required skills
Prospective students hoping to show they have the potential to become an excellent marketing manager require a broad skillset. Well rounded individuals with skills in both mathematics and the softer skills, such as communications, tend to fare well in MBA in marketing specializations. Other desired skills for marketing typically include analytical and leadership skills.
Skills taught
A marketing MBA is designed to teach students a wide variety of skills that can then be applied to a wide variety of positions across any number of companies and industries - no two companies are going to need, or demand, the exact same requirements from their marketing manager.
Common courses found within MBA in marketing specializations include:
- Marketing management
- Operations management
- Marketing channels strategies
- Consumer and brand insight strategy
- Internet, technology, retail, digital, sports, and other specialized marketing fields
- Forecasting, modelling, and marketing strategy
- New product strategy, branding, and marketing
- International and multi-national marketing
- Sales force management
Marketing MBAs can channel their energies into preparing for particular marketing career roles, from IT to retail and anything in between. This will, of course, be reflected in the number of courses available that delve into more specialized areas of marketing.
As every - and we do mean every - sector of the business world has a product it wants to reach the appropriate channels, every sector of the business world, therefore, requires marketing and marketing managers. Popular specializations in marketing careers over the past few years include (but are no means limited to):
- Internet and digital marketing trends, channels, management, and strategies
- E-commerce
Top schools for an MBA in Marketing
According to the specialization rankings within the Global 200 Business Schools Report 2013/14, the top 10 schools for an MBA in marketing are:
- The Kellogg School of Management (US)
- Harvard Business School (US)
- The Wharton School (US)
- INSEAD (France)
- IE Business School (Spain)
- Stanford Graduate School of Business (US)
- London Business School (UK)
- Columbia Business School (US)
- UCLA Anderson (US)
- Cambridge Judge (UK)
As would be the case with any MBA internship, marketing internships can give you a great taste for life at an individual company and in the multi-faceted position of a marketing manager.
Top companies for MBA in marketing internship
Again, because all organizations - from startups to Fortune 500 companies - rely on marketing to make the outside world aware of their name, brand and product (where applicable) some of the top companies to intern for will have a dedicated marketing internship.
This is true, for example, of the retail and consumer products sector, where a number of opportunities in the realms of marketing careers can be found – and Vault.com lists the top five retail and consumer products companies in the US for marketing internships as follows:
- Kohl's
- Garmin
- Burlington Coat Factory
- The Home Depot
- Mattress Firm
Meanwhile, for those studying in the US, the top ten companies, in any industry, for the overall value of their internship programs, according to Vault's 2015 list of are as follows:
- Bates White (consulting)
- Elliott Davis (accountancy)
- Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP (accountancy)
- Bain & Company (consulting)
- Northwestern Mutual (financial services)
- Plante Moran (professional services)
- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, KPCB (venture capital)
- Evercore (investment banking)
- CapTech (IT consulting/services)
- Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (oil & gas)
Marketing career options
Common job roles
As a marketing manager, you will be overseeing a marketing team for a number of different activities, such as: releasing new products at specific times; tracking how well products are selling; advertising for new and existing products; networking among supply chain channels; liaising between a company's research & development, design, advertising, and brand strategy teams (as appropriate).
Boutique vs. corporate jobs
A boutique (i.e. smaller) advertising agency or marketing firm is going to require much more flexibility and adaptability from a marketing manager than a large corporation will. A large corporation, after all, will have other branches to deal with aspects of finance, artistic design, sales, product development and design, and other duties that could fall under the remit of a marketing manager attached to a smaller firm. The same is likely to be at least equally true for a startup's marketing manager. Indeed, those aspects a marketing manager is not directly responsible for may still entail close involvement through communication with just a handful of others at a smaller firm or startup.
A large corporation will instead be looking for a marketing manager to manage one or two aspects of a marketing campaign, whether that is new product research, marketing strategy, consumer strategy, or brand strategy.
As a marketing manager you often receive the chance to oversee the life of a product from inception, design and implementation to sales and delivery.
If you're looking for a role that offers something different on a day to day basis and will draw on almost every facet of the skills acquired during your MBA in marketing, then a startup or boutique firm is worth considering. But, consider also the difference in resources at your disposal if you opt to join a larger firm and the opportunity it might offer to become a specialist in a particular area.
Top companies for graduates of an MBA in marketing?
Back in 2013, Forbes reported on careers site, Glassdoor.com's analysis of the top companies for salaries earned by marketing professionals. The top 10 came out as follows:
- NetApp
- VMWare
- Oracle
- Symantec
- Motorola
- Apple
- Adobe
- Microsoft
- Cisco
For a further look at the kind of marketing careers available to MBA students and graduates, check out TopMBA.com's interview with VMWare.
MBA in Marketing salaries
To get a very basic impression of the terrain when it comes to marketing salaries, we can look at the experience of just one leading business school in this area of specialization.
Marketing salaries - by job function - taken by MBA graduates of Columbia Business School, in its most recent employment report, ranged from a median of US$90,000 (in sales) to a median of US$115,000 (business development). Among sectors renowned for their marketing roles, median salaries of US$97,500, US$102,000 and US$115,000 were achieved by the school's graduates in retail, consumer products and internet services/e-commerce respectively.

Grassland assizes settle disputes for herdsmen
A van carrying assizes (a mobile team of court officers) visited sparsely populated areas in Urad Middle Banner to settle civil disputes between local herdsmen.
The migratory assizes, governed by the people's court of Urad Middle Banner, have entered the grassland region on 150 occasions and deal with 300 cases a year.
Mobile court staff members distribute legal and regulatory documents to locals, fostering their knowledge of the legal system, particularly where it concerns animal husbandry. Most importantly, the court officers solve civil disputes for herdsmen and help maintain a stable and harmonious community.
On the China-Mongolia border, Urad Middle Banner has a scattered population and poor transportation to cover its vast expanse. For local herdsmen, seeking help from the court would be prohibitively inconvenient without the assizes.

This time, the FAIL blog got it kinda right about books (sorting)! (Previously they thought book rental stores are a stupid concept.)
That aside, so what books are you wishing for Christmas? And what books do you plan to give out for Christmas?
My List
Any Roald Dahl book
Flowers for Algernon – Daniel Keyes
Any books by Edward Monkton
Quidditch Through the Ages – Kennilworthy Whisp (Trying to complete my Harry Potter collection, heh) Got it from warehouse sale, yay!
Penguin asked the same question to a group of authors recently. Here's what they chose:
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
* My absolute favorite book of recent memory: The Principals of Uncertainty, by Maira Kalman—an exquisite and delightful and peculiarly illustrated memoir about…well, the search for the meaning of life. I will be giving this book to everyone I love.
* A similarly wonderful, quirky gift book is Learning to Love You More—by Harrell Fletcher and the extraordinarily multi-talented Miranda July. The book is a collection of photos and documentation of a project the authors undertook together, wherein they would give little assignments to strangers, such as, "Write your life story in less than a day," or "Recreate a poster you had as a child," or "Make an encouraging banner"—and then they would document the sometimes beautiful, sometimes bizarre results.
* Another memoir I've loved of late is called Three Dog Life, by Abigail Thomas—a surprisingly non-depressing story of a woman coping with her husband's brain injury after a serious accident. It's a book that fills me a sense of wonder and awe, and I have a lot of friends who will be getting it in their stockings this year.
* What I wish for this year, more than anything are books about the golden age of exploration—the writings and biographies of great adventurers like Captain Cook and Ernest Shackleton. With travel as expensive as it is these days, I'm looking forward to spending much of 2009 at home, reading about other people's magnificent journeys!
Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns
* The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz: Hilarious, engaging, and profoundly moving and sad. A feast of language.
* What is the What by Dave Eggers: A chronicling of the hardships, disillusions, and hopes of the long suffering people of southern Sudan. It is impossible to read this book and not be humbled, enlightened, transformed.
* City of Thieves by David Benioff: A riveting war novel and an engaging coming of age story. City of Thieves is tender, illuminating, and, be warned, often shocking.
* Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri: Gorgeous, effortless prose; characters haunted by regret, isolation, loss, and tragedies big and small. A quiet, emerging sense of humanity.
* The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb: I loved his first two books and am anxious to read his follow-up.
* Drown by Junot Díaz: Loved Oscar Wao. This older selection, which I shamefully have not as yet read, will be my Díaz fix until the next one.
* The Boat by Nam Le. I have read nothing about this book that has been less than glowing.
* Watching the Watchmen: The Definitive Companion to the Ultimate Graphic Novel: This is a must have for any fan of the groundbreaking graphic novel. I read it when it was first released, read it again this year. It's just as good.
Nick Hornby, author of High Fidelity, About A Boy, and most recently Slam
* I'm evangelical about Mark Harris's Pictures at a Revolution, a loving, brilliantly-researched account of the five movies nominated for the 1967 Best Picture Oscar, from conception to ceremony. It's not only one of the best books about film I've ever read, but one of the best books about any artistic process.
* America, Zoe Strauss's book of her brave, touching, occasionally shocking photographs. She's my favorite contemporary photographer.
Titles other authors mentioned in their get/give list:
– A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO ANY BOOKSTORE (because nothing beats browsing books on a winter night)!
(Robert Alexander, author of The Romanov Bride)
– I want somebody to give me that Penguin Library classics collection, because it's too expensive for me to buy for myself!
(Mark Bowden, Black Hawk Down and Killing Pablo)
– The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis
(Ann B. Ross, author of the Miss Julia series)
– For every father in America: Cormac McCarthy's book The Road, as a reminder of the preciousness of a child's life and the fundamental importance of paternal responsibility. It is the most visceral and visual novel I have read in memory and I think of the message and the images every time I hold my little son's hand.
(John O'Hurley, author of It's Okay To Miss The Bed On The First Jump)
– I hope someone will give me a great novel I don't know about that I can curl up with over the holidays.
(Leonard Maltin, author of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guides)
– Philip Pullman's magnificent trilogy, His Dark Materials
(Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker)
– The Diary of a Nobody – George & Weedon Grossmith
(Jasper Fforde, author of Thursday Next)
(Read this, it's really quite funny!)
– Fiction is great, but I also love learning about, well, everything! I think I'm the only person who hasn't read Freakonomics, so I wouldn't mind seeing that in my stocking. Books make the best gifts, especially when the economy is down! How else can you transport someone to a new and exciting world for less than $20?
(Danica McKellar author of Kiss My Math and Math Doesn't Suck)

Flies for Sea-Run
Cutthroat Trout DVD
California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, British Columbia—a migratory form of the cutthroat trout haunts beaches, points, creeks, and
rivers along most of the west coast of North America.
Fly-fishers know him as the sea-run cutthroat, a muscular slab of spotted silver that can grow to several pounds. And among cutthroats there may be big Pacific Salmon.
Cutthroat trout are born in rivers but migrate out of them into salt water to feed on its abundance. Sea-run cutthroat trout can be caught at certain tides and in specific sorts of structure in salt water, and in particular kinds of holding water when they return to rivers to feed or spawn.
In Flies for Sea-Run Cutthroat Trout DVD, fly-fishing celebrity Skip Morris will show you how to tie such proven sea-run cutthroat flies as the
Raccoon, Jim Dandy, Spruce Fly, and others—and then show you where and how to fish them.
He'll take you from tying the patterns at the vise to walking a beach or wading a river and working them for sea-runs and salmon.
Skip choose these particular flies for two important reasons:

|Inside Monkey Zetterland (1992) [Grace Zetterland]: Killed in an explosion while unwittingly carrying a bomb that a terrorist had planted in her bag. (It's been some time since I've seen this movie, so my memory is vague.)

Lost Highway (1997) [Renee Madison/Alice Wakefield]: Playing a dual role, "Renee" is killed (off-screen) by Bill Pullman in her bedroom; we only see the blood-splattered walls afterwards. (The movie is highly open to interpretation; it's ambiguous whether her other character "Alice" is a different person, a different aspect of "Renee," or even whether she exists at all.)
Stigmata (1999) [Frankie Page]: Bleeds to death from her stigmata; she dies in Gabriel Byrne's arms. (This only occurs in the alternate ending on the DVD; the original theatrical ending has her surviving.) (Thanks to Alexis and Adriene)
Holes (2003) [Kissin' Kate Barlow]: Commits suicide by letting a venomous lizard bite her on the arm, after talking to Scott Plank and Allison Smith in the desert. (This occurs in the movie's Old-West flashback sequences.) (Thanks to Jude)

Medium: Deja Vu All Over Again (2009) [Allison Dubois]: Dies after her life-support equipment is shut off in the hospital; this turns out to be Jake Weber's dream sequence. (She survives the episode in reality.) (Thanks to PortsGuy)
Medium: Pain Killer (2009) [Allison Dubois]: Is briefly clinically dead when she has a reaction to a medication; she is immediately revived by Oded Fehr. (Thanks to PortsGuy)
Medium: Time Keeps on Slipping (2010) [Allison Dubois]: Shot in the head (off-screen) by Michael Rady in a future timeline; this timeline is later prevented from coming about. (Thanks to PortsGuy)
Medium: It's a Wonderful Death (2010) [Allison Dubois]: Dies of a brain tumor in her sleep; she appears as a ghost afterwards.

The politically charged Columbus Parks and Recreation scandal that kicked off 17 months ago when then-Mayor Jim Wetherington ordered the department audited ended quietly Thursday with a 30-minute court hearing in which three defendants pleaded guilty to reduced charges of misappropriating public funds and got no jail time.
Fired Parks and Rec Director Tony Adams, suspended recreation specialist Herman Porter and East Marietta Basketball Director William Fox each pleaded guilty before Muscogee Superior Court Judge John Allen, who ordered them to pay the city restitution and placed them on probation.
After the hearing, District Attorney Julia Slater said Columbus authorities now consider the case closed. She would not comment on whether outside agencies would follow up.

The plea deal ended months of controversy surrounding the investigation born of an internal audit that raised questions about how the department managed its finances. An audit report the Ledger-Enquirer obtained May 17, 2010, noted the department's Innovative Sports Program had an elite teenage boys' basketball team with only one Columbus player, the rest having been recruited, some from as far away as Mobile, Ala., Bonifay, Fla., and Valdosta, Ga.
That led to more questions about how Adams and Porter oversaw the team called the Georgia Blazers, prompting Wetherington to order a police investigation on May 28. The investigation uncovered a secret bank account Adams and Porter controlled. That led to the pair's being arrested on Aug. 24, accused of diverting more than $200,000 in public funds to the private bank account they'd established in the Blazers' name, using the city's tax-exempt ID number. Fox was arrested Sept. 13 and charged in the conspiracy.
Police said Fox for a time was the conduit through which Adams and Porter got money and equipment from sports-gear giant Nike Inc. Investigators said Adams and Porter also put that money in their private Blazers account instead of depositing it with the city.
Last month, a grand jury indicted Adams and Porter on three counts of conspiracy to defraud a "political subdivision," meaning the city, and two counts each of theft by taking and first-degree forgery. Fox faced two counts of conspiracy to defraud the city and one count of theft by taking.
In the plea deal arranged with Chief Assistant District Attorney Al Whitaker, Porter's indictments were dismissed altogether and he instead was charged with three misdemeanors, while Adams faced only two felonies and Fox only one.
Here are the penalties Allen imposed:
Adams, 48, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to defraud the city. He was sentenced to four years' probation, ordered to pay the city $25,000 in restitution and to perform 50 hours of community service. Allen set his monthly payments at $700. The city fired Adams on Sept. 28.
Fox, 59, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the city. He was sentenced to four years' probation, ordered to pay the city $25,000 in restitution and to perform 100 hours of community service. His attorney, Columbus lawyer Frank Martin, asked that Fox be assigned to community service in the Atlanta area, where he lives. Martin also said Fox was prepared to pay his restitution immediately.
Porter, 42, pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor theft charges. He was sentenced to 12 months' consecutive probation on each and ordered to pay the city $20,000 in restitution. Allen set his monthly payments at $750. Suspended without pay since his arrest, Porter as part of the agreement pledged to leave his city job and not reapply.
That took effect immediately: "As of this moment, he is no longer our employee," Columbus Human Resources Director Tom Barron said Thursday evening.
The reaction
In Allen's courtroom, City Manager Isaiah Hugley, Deputy City Manager Lisa Goodwin and Assistant City Attorney Jaimie DeLoach stood next to Whitaker as the three defendants entered their guilty pleas.
Adams in his city job had reported directly to Goodwin. Both Hugley and Goodwin refused to comment after the hearing. "I am not going to comment on the decision made by the judge," said Hugley, once one of Adams' staunchest supporters.
Adams and Porter also declined comment, trying to avoid reporters by using a rear stairway to exit the Government Center's seventh floor. Adams was accompanied by his defense attorney, Shevon Sutcliffe Thomas, who said, "My client is free."
Atlanta lawyer Manny Arora, Porter's attorney, said his client was satisfied with the deal. "He didn't want to risk going to trial," Arora said.
Said Fox: "I just want to put this behind me."
City Attorney Clifton Fay said the plea deal ended a sad chapter in Parks and Recreation history. "I am glad the taxpayers are going to get some of their money back," he said. "I appreciate the judge ordering restitution and community service."
Whitaker said the plea bargain avoided the cost of a trial and "the possible fallout from the community." Asked what he meant by the latter, he said he was referring to allegations that the Parks and Rec investigation was racially motivated. Adams and Porter are black, and their supporters claimed Wetherington targeted the two because of their race.
Whitaker said the sentences were appropriate for defendants with no prior criminal records and no charges related to violent crime. Ninety percent of cases end in plea deals, he said, so the outcome was not unprecedented.
Of the $210,000 that passed through the CB&T account Adams and Porter opened in the name of the "Columbus Blazer Athletic Program," about $130,000 came from Nike, Whitaker said. He said most of the money was spent on the Blazers' program, though some "questionable transactions" were found.
Nike and other companies dealing in brand-name sports gear support community athletic programs partly to recruit future stars for commercial endorsements. Critics say the business competition is fierce and breeds its own esoteric intrigue.
The indictments
Here's a rundown of the three defendants' February indictments. Adams pleaded guilty to counts 5 and 6; Fox to count 5. Porter pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges. The other charges were dismissed.
Count 1, conspiracy to defraud a political subdivision, charged that between April 18, 2005, and May 31, 2010, Adams and Porter conspired to steal from the city by opening the CB&T account into which city funds were to be deposited.
Count 2, first-degree forgery, alleged Adams and Porter opened the account using the city's tax-exempt identification number, as if they had authorization to when in fact they did not.
Count 3, first-degree forgery, said Adams and Porter claimed to represent a fictitious corporation called the "Columbus Blazer Athletic Program" on the account.
Count 4, theft by taking, said that from April 2005 to May 2010, Adams and Porter took basketball tournament funds that should have gone into city coffers.
Count 5, conspiracy to defraud a political subdivision, charged that Adams, Porter and Fox over those five years engaged in a "kickback scheme," in which Adams and Porter arranged for the city to host basketball tournaments that Fox sanctioned as president of "Youth Basketball Organization of America-Georgia" and as director of East Marietta Basketball. For those games, the city of Columbus with Adams' authorization reimbursed Fox for referee fees, which Fox then kicked back to Adams and Porter, who deposited them to the CB&T account.
Count 6, conspiracy to defraud a political subdivision, said that over the same five years Adams, Porter and Fox misrepresented the relationship between East Marietta Basketball and the city-owned Georgia Blazers in order to secure Nike contracts providing money and sports gear over which Adams and Porter gained control in their city jobs. Those contracts claimed that East Marietta Basketball was playing games as the Georgia Blazers, that Adams was the director of East Marietta Basketball, and that East Marietta Basketball's address was 107 41st St., which is Columbus' Comer Gym, the Parks and Rec headquarters. They used East Marietta's tax-exempt ID number for those agreements, the indictment said.
Count 7, theft by taking, alleged that between June 16, 2007, and May 30, 2008, Adams, Porter and Fox took checks or money orders written to the "Columbus Blazers," "Georgia Blazers," "Columbus Parks and Rec" or "Columbus Parks and Recreation," and that Fox then deposited those funds to East Marietta Basketball, though the money should have gone to the city.
The bank account over which Adams and Porter had control was closed May 21, 2010, just days after the internal audit became public.
Barron said the city continues its search for a new Parks and Rec director, having narrowed the field of candidates to four. More than 260 people submitted applications for the job, for which the annual salary ranges from $69,770 to $106,163

Winter Hummingbirds in Macon, GA
As of now, there are 2 different selasphorus hummingbirds in the Macon area. Photos are being submitted for possible identification before resorting to banding. These are either Rufous or Allen's hummingbirds and more than likely first winter Rufous. I am attaching photos of a bird visiting a yard near the Georgia Academy for the Blind. And we would love to hear of more hummers in the area for the Macon Christmas Bird Count!

We didn't have any hummingbirds last year, so I hope they hang around as well. Neat to have at least two in the area.

Fuel injector latency / dead-time
Bob replied to Ahmedsinc's topic in PerformanceI use Autronic in Oz drop them a message, or try Motorsport Electronics Nz
Sorry to hear of your personal issues i really hope all turns out well and im sure it will mate. On other note regarding your cams the best thing to do is find the full cam specs and mainly the center lines and dial them in using that method, and fast and more accurate, find TDC with a dead stop then rest is straight forward. Did the same when dumping the stupid VANOS off the V10, but i used a Cam Doctor on the cams to give me exact numbers thank fully i have 60 Deg in and 30 Deg ex of crank rotation so plenty to play with on the dyno, safe setting for you would be 108in and 115ex as a starting point being turbo.
Electric cars emit 50% less greenhouse gas than diesel, study finds
Bob replied to Gabe79's topic in Off-TopicIssue with either Hydro, petrol or electrics there still a massively high consumption of fossil fuels to build these vehicles. I believe the highest consumption of oil goes into every day products as in plastics, roads and panels wiring,tires etc etc in vehicles let alone whats used for house hold goods and cell phones etc. So regardless of how it runs there's no free lunches, we may reduce what vehicles use or don't but the fossil fuel will always be there to which i believe over 80% is used for every day products not vehicles. We are polluting regardless what we do.
So agree Allan, check this out i used the OBC function to check the temp against the gauge its miles out. Needle half way temp 81.
All good Allan don't hate ya everyone's entitled to there opinion, your not wrong about the gauges they are miles out. Those who rely on the needle sitting in the middle really should check as you said cause by the time it moves up anymore it game over.
I guess we all have options like butt holes and prefer to see things how we want and take on board everything the manufacture said as gospel, bit like everyone believed the emissions thing with VW......yep. My S85 V10 thermostat factory is 79 deg, kills the theory some have. And we don't test older cars here for emissions and to complain about economy when you sit in traffic not moving for hours a day is counter productive.
I've don't this many times, had no change in economy and warm up time hasn't changed either. Rather this than a cooked motor which they are well documented for doing. Each to their own.
Warm upside from my understanding is there to assist the thermostat to open if it fails nothing more, but i could be wrong. The bypass system is used for rapid warm up and that i havent changed. I also left the sensor part in the unit and plugged.
E46 Thermostat upgrade/down grade
Bob posted a topic in MaintenanceYes im still alive, apologizes to a few Kinda well over trying to help and inform due to the crap you get in return but thought this was worth a mention. As many would know and ive learnt the hard way when you cook a M54 that equals dead engine and stripped head stud holes. So ive done this a few times and works well and yes you could buy a lower temp one from VAC but hey wheres the fun in that, so for the DIY heres mine. Remove the old setup and use a carbide burr to remove all high spots to give a uniform finish and dia hole, can be done if your savvy with a die grinder. Once done purchase a thermostat as pictures, i remove the larger bottom plate from the old setup and open the center hole then a few spots of MIG its good to go and the correct install height ( yes i blew a small hole in it ) Now i understand not everyone has the gear i have but i turned up a ally ring to suit the housing and a step to match the new thermostat, i then peen the ally over to retain the new thermostat. Next is use some silicone to retain it in place with a slight press fit, it can't go anywhere as once bolted up its retained, i also drill a small bleed hole to help bleed the system. This is now set to 82 deg rather the 97 stock, some say its too cold but rather that than a new motor also your gauge wont show too much different but a scan tool shows another story. PS: yes the V10 is done and in the hole and no i wont show progress or pics as well over the crap from the key board experts. And those being OCD most welcome to correct my grammar
N55 turbo upgrade options - local?
Bob replied to Matth5's topic in PerformanceThe gate pin wasnt too bad better than most i see, down side at some point itll rattle enough to be a issue then i re sleeve it
yep cant see a issue to do it, just use what caps you have and they can re tunnel to correct aliment clearances and youll be like new. keep all caps in the order they came off if you can if not the engine shop will sort but pretty sure each one will be numbered
You can't mix and match cam caps, pull the carrier and get it re tunneled
What'd you do to your BMW today?

"We have seen cases increase dramatically overnight in IL and know at least one person in IN has reported severe bleeding after using synthetic cannabinoids".
"This bleeding is not expected, at least in such a significant population so quickly", she added. Most of those affected have been in and around Chicago, but officials warned the synthetic marijuana causing these issues could travel around the state. The Department of Health, meanwhile, attempted to shut down the idea that this product- often dubbed fake weed, K2 or spice-was in any way safer than regular marijuana. Synthetic cannabinoids are various manmade chemicals that some people use as an alternative to marijuana.
Synthetic cannabinoids are man-made mind-altering chemicals, similar to chemicals found in the marijuana plant, according to National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Anyone who has a serious reaction to synthetic cannabinoids should call 911 or go to the emergency department immediately.
The use synthetic cannabinoids became popular a decade ago, and one of the largest outbreaks occurred three years ago.
The substance was first sold in the U.S.in 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and poison centers received 7,794 calls from people who took the drug in 2015. It's really just a chemical related to THC - the chemical that gets you high, thrown into some sort of chemical cocktail and sprayed on some grass, then sold as weed. Side effects include hallucinations, psychosis, dizziness, stroke, seizures, kidney failure, heart attack and death, the CDC wrote.
Jerrold Leikin, director of toxicology at NorthShore University HealthSystem, told NBC Chicago that it's likely someone put a blood thinner in this specific batch of spice.
The people who were admitted to the hospital with bleeding eyes and ears admitted to having used synthetic pot, but it is unclear what their source was.
"People have reported purchasing it from various convenience stores, dealers or acquiring it from friends".

I know you want to know where I get stuff, and today I'm sharing not only my source, but a great deal on this table all at the same time.
Have you ever felt like a room needed something, but you weren't sure what it was? You looked and looked, but couldn't figure it out? I've been looking for a table that won't get damaged if someone puts a wet glass on it. I wanted something that works with French antiques, but has a more modern feel. I wanted something substantial, yet with an airy feeling. And then I found these tray tables at Soft Surroundings.
It's actually a tray and a stand. It's perfect for a spot by a sofa or as a bedside table. Seriously, I'm so excited! The other thing I like about them is the generous size and the nice height. So many side tables are too low and too small.
I love it in my bedroom too. The antique brass looks fabulous with my old gold frames. I love my vintage Florentine tables, shown on the right, but they aren't as tall, don't have the surface area and can't handle wet glasses.
The other thing I love about it is the heavy tray that is removable from the stand. This would serve well as a mini bar.
I also love the bamboo style legs. Just look at that detail.
The tray has an inset antiqued mirror. It's antiques so it isn't too shiny.
Am I gushing? Sometimes I order stuff and I'm disappointed when it arrives, but this tray table was even nicer than I expected. It's very heavy.
And if you are like me, I have a few pillows I stack up when the bed is unmade. They actually fit rather well on top of my tray table. I have been accused of having some impractical furniture, but this is gorgeous and practical.
The tray table is $298.95. Well it was, I mean. Now it's on sale for $119.99. Find it HERE. I've seen trays without the stands for that price. I think you are going to really like this one. I actually have several wood tray tables, but this is by far my favorite. None of my other tray tables has the elegance of this one. You are not going to be disappointed. Just keep in mind it's on sale, and is probably going to sell out soon, so if you want it, please don't wait.
I have a fun giveaway going on. Be sure to leave a comment to enter.
Details: Must be 18 or older. Only valid in the 48 contiguous states. Not valid anywhere giveaways aren't legal. Once notified, you'll have 48 hrs to respond. Be sure to use a valid email when you comment so you can be contacted. Begins August 3, 2016, ends August 10, 2016 CST midnight.
This TRAY TABLE even works in my study. I love being able to move tables around from room to room, and this one I can move by myself.
It looks great in every room.

We've been saturated with this word. Barack Obama's entire campaign was built on the premise of hope. He was bringing the hope that politics could be different. Young people flocked to the idea of hope.
We're drawn to hope.
Last night at church, Stan Toler spoke about the negativity of the culture we find ourselves in. I think this is why we flock to the idea of hope. We want to know that it doesn't have to be so negative all the time!
So, I've been thinking, where does hope fit in with my theology? There's a book on my shelf called An Emergent Manifesto of Hope. Even within the church, we are yearning for some hope. Parts of the emergent movement are fueled by the hope that church doesn't have to look the way we've seen it for so long.
So, I ask again, where does hope fit in with my theology? I haven't read that book yet, but it's on my list for the future. There's an old hymn that tells us where our hope comes from. Remember these words?
My hope is built on nothing less…
Than Jesus blood and righteousness.
Some of us cling to the hope that it will all be better in heaven, because of what Christ did for us here on earth. But, maybe that's not what it means? My hope is that the world would get better because of what Jesus did for us here. My hope is that the followers of Christ would be radically transforming the world. My hope is that we would be showing the world that there is hope, even in times of despair.
Are you showing the world that there is hope, or are you leaving that up to President Obama?
There is hope.
We still serve a living God.

Ingot Mould Fondry - Patterns and Cores
In our ingot mould and cast iron fondery, the foundry cores and sand molds and resin are produced thanks to the production capacity of three mixers. Our company specializes in the production of patterns and core boxes in wood of different sizes.
When the product that you want to establish presents internal cavities or profiles not achievable with simple molding, they are used special souls. The soul is a form that reproduces the hollow parts of the object to be produced and you get compacting the earth in a container made of metal or wood, said core box, which shall determine gaps in correspondence of these parts quarries. The core box is closed by pneumatic pistons and is equipped with extractors. The core boxes are subject to be inserted and removed from the machines core shooter according to production needs.
The most common methods of realization of souls are:
1. Manual to resin: the production is manual, on a desk, with the methods and equipment very similar to those of the molding resin with the only difference that, instead of filling the bracket, here is filled with the core box. This production is more widespread among companies in the sector; production techniques are manual and performed at the bench with procedures similar to those employed for resin molds, the difference is that, instead of filling the bracket, it fills the core box.
2. Ashland (cold process "cold-box"): in this process using silica sand mixed, with automatic mixing, with phenolic resins and polyisocyanates. The set of the component materials is compacted by means of compressed air using specific machines.
3. Shell-molding (hot process "hot-box"): In this process the raw materials and additives (the percentage of resin varies according to the products to be obtained), lubricants and catalysts are compacted within the cash through core blowing machine. Hot surfaces of the case of souls (about 250 °) dissolving the pre-coating of lands favoring the subsequent bonding of individual grains until hardening of the total mass. Once hardened, the soul is removed from the mold using suitable pullers.
4. Insufflation of CO2: after crammed into the mold the mixture of foundry sand and additives (alkali silicates), the hardening is achieved by insufflation of carbon dioxide.
For certain products (for example, special steels) the cores are coated to improve surface strength during casting and solidification.
The soul, once extracted from the box that contained it, is finished by hand to remove any burrs and is stored pending its use in forming
