VIDEO: Who would you build your team around — Stephen Curry or LeBron James?
Bulls going with the Mayor, so what of Thibs? | Experience edge to Cavaliers | Thompson's status (mostly) revealed | Jazz weighing young core versus free agency
No. 1: Bulls go with 'the Mayor', so what of Thibodeau? — The marriage between the Chicago Bulls and Fred Hoiberg is in need of rubber stamping to finalize the deal and is the worst kept secret in the NBA. So with "the Mayor" soon to be sworn in as the new coach in the Windy City, what of his predecessor, Tom Thibodeau? Joe Cowley of the Sun Times examines the fallout for the man who put the Bulls back on the map:
Meanwhile, now that the Orlando Magic's and New Orleans Pelicans' coaching vacancies have been filled, only the Denver Nuggets' opening remains. But a source said Thibodeau has little interest in that job.
That doesn't mean Thibodeau won't be coaching next season, though. As long as Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt has the ability to signal for a timeout he no longer has — something he did in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Bulls — he has zero job security, regardless of what happens in the Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
And while Minnesota Timberwolves general manager/coach Flip Saunders has said he wants to coach for one more season, owner Glen Taylor has remained noncommittal to the idea.
A person close to Thibodeau recently indicated the Timberwolves are a team Thibodeau always has had special feelings for because he began his NBA coaching career as an assistant with them from 1989 to 1991.
If Thibodeau is willing to sit out a year, some interesting possibilities might be open to him. First, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson can opt out of his deal after next season. That might open the door for Thibodeau to return to New York, where he was an assistant for seven seasons and might be granted GM responsibilities.
Thibodeau had little say about personnel matters with the Bulls, and that seemed to lead to some bad feelings between him and the front office.
Then there's the Los Angeles Lakers' job, which belongs to Byron Scott — for now, at least.
No. 2: Experience edge goes to Cavaliers — In the seemingly endless search for advantages in The Finals matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, one clear edge for the crew representing the Eastern Conference is experience on this stage. In fact, it's not even close, as Joe Vardon of the Northeast Ohio Media Group details:
The 27 NBA Finals games in which LeBron James has played is 27 more than the entire Golden State Warriors roster.
In fact, if you were to take James off of the Cavaliers (they would not prefer this), Cleveland would still have infinitely more Finals experience than its California counterpart heading into Game 1 Thursday night.
Cavs reserves James Jones, Mike Miller, Shawn Marion, Kendrick Perkins, and Brendan Haywood own a combined seven championship rings and 11 Finals appearances. Of that group, only Jones is a rotation player for Cleveland coach David Blatt.
The Warriors, though, have a whopping zero Finals appearances.
So as Cleveland and Golden State prepare for a 2015 Finals in which the Warriors are heavily favored, the Cavs would appear to have a major advantage in experience. Not only is their best player – arguably the best player in the NBA, James – heading into his fifth consecutive Finals, but Golden State's Stephen Curry (the reining NBA MVP) has never seen anything like it.
While there are numerous players on Cleveland's bench to reinforce the finer points of surviving the Finals onto the Cavs' first timers (like Kyrie Irving), there is no similar peer support on the Warriors. Coach Steve Kerr has ample championship experience, but none in his current role.
"The only advantage is if you're able to win the series," James said. "That's the only advantage. For us, we've got to go out and play. They're going to come out and play as well. There's a good possibility they could have one more homecourt game than us, so you could say that's an advantage, but both teams have shown they could win on the road in the postseason, so there's no advantage."
No. 3: Thompson's status (mostly) revealed — If there was any doubt that Klay Thompson would be ready to go for Game 1 of The Finals Thursday, it was wiped away over the weekend. Thompson took in an Oakland A's game and enjoyed the bright and sunny weather of the Bay Area, hardly what you'd expect from someone dealing with the complications of a concussion suffered in the Western Conference finals finale. He maintains that his status will be revealed today, but no one expects one half of the Splash Brothers to sit out the opener. Jimmy Durkin of the Bay Area News Group tracked Thompson's every move as he rooted against the Yankees:
Klay Thompson's playing status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday remains unknown, but positive signs are beginning to trickle in.
Thompson, recovering from a concussion suffered Wednesday, spent the Warriors' off day Sunday taking in the A's game against the New York Yankees.
The Warriors All-Star doffed his cap and pointed to the A's logo when he was shown on the scoreboard before the fourth inning and received more loud cheers when he left his seats before the eighth inning. Afterward, Thompson visited with the A's in their clubhouse, where he was given a bat, some batting gloves and other A's gear.
Thompson didn't address his health status, saying only, "You'll find out tomorrow," when asked by The Associated Press if he'll practice Monday.
Simply being at the game is a good sign, as sunlight and loud noises — both givens at a daytime baseball game with 25,457 fans in attendance — are often triggers avoided by those dealing with concussion symptoms. More positive news also came in from Warriors assistant coach Ron Adams.
"I think Klay will be ready," Adams told 95.7 The Game on Sunday. "He looks good now. He looks bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and so on, but he has to go through the protocol, and that will be soon finished. I think he'll be there for us when the series starts, and we'll go from there."
No. 4: Jazz weighing young core versus free agency — There is more than one path to the playoffs and the Utah Jazz are trying to figure out which road works best for them. Do they keep building around a solid young core or do they abandon the long road back for a shortcut through free agency? Mike Sorensen of the Deseret News details the options for a team at the crossroads:
Like several other NBA teams, the Jazz are well under the current NBA salary cap of $63 million-plus with an expected payroll of a little over $50 million for next year with their current players. Next year's cap is expected to be around $67 million before making a major jump the following year when the new TV contracts kick in.
With a few dozen top players around the league available as free agents, either restricted or unrestricted, the Jazz have an opportunity to add a player or two for next season to give their young squad some experience.
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey has yet to indicate which direction the Jazz are going.
"Good decisions are born out of a good set of options and through a lot of people's efforts and we've got a good set of options,'' Lindsey said at the Jazz's wrap-up press conference to close out the season. "We're very confident that we'll be able to move the group forward with the resources we have at hand.''
Lindsey says the main focus for coaches and management this year has been the development of young players. With the season over, he's encouraging everyone in the organization, from coaches to scouts to front-office people, to "argue" and "put every scenario up on the board" in regards to what the Jazz should do moving forward.
But one thing Lindsey is adamant about is that Jazz won't spend money just to spend money. Lindsey says the biggest concern is spending the team's money wisely.
The Jazz ranked 25th in league salaries this year, even with Gordon Hayward's maximum deal kicking in, along with Derrick Favors' $12 million salary. Next year, Alec Burks' salary will increase from $3 million to $9 million and Trevor Booker will get around $5 million if the second year of his contract is picked up, which is likely.
Half of this year's roster was made up of young, mostly undrafted players making less than $1 million a year. Some of those players will get raises and be back, but that still leaves a lot of money the Jazz could spend.
They have to look a couple of years down the line when a player — Rudy Gobert perhaps? — could be due a big payday. Still the Jazz aren't going to sign a free agent just to get closer to the salary cap.
"Do we feel obligated that we have to? Absolutely not,'' Lindsey said. "We could exist underneath the salary cap going into next season.''
It's difficult to say at this point who the Jazz might pursue on the free-agent market.
They won't be in the running for max players such as LaMarcus Aldridge or Kawhi Leonard and certainly wouldn't risk their chemistry with a player such as Rajon Rondo.
The Jazz could go after someone like J.J. Barea of Dallas or Louis Williams of Toronto, who both made around $5.5 million last year or perhaps an up-and-coming player like Milwaukee's Khris Middleton, a restricted free agent who made less than $1 million last year. Or they could get nostalgic and sign one of their former players such as Wesley Matthews, Paul Millsap or DeMarre Carroll, who are all unrestricted free agents.
The other alternative is to make a trade or two using some of their stockpile of draft picks or perhaps moving someone like Trey Burke, who may be expendable because of the emergence of Dante Exum and Rodney Hood.
Lindsey says the Jazz have been consistent with their rebuild of recent years and he gives the impression that the Jazz are more likely to stick with the players they have than to take a chance on a veteran player who may disrupt the chemistry and cost a lot of money.
"If it's working, why would you arbitrarily change the path unless it's just fundamentally sound that spending every dollar available to us equates to wins and allows us to progress as a team,'' Lindsey said.

This week I've been relying heavily on Vicodin to help me sleep while trying to pass a kidney stone, which has resulted in some particularly lucid, albeit still pretty weird dreams…
The day started out in my office, which would've been fairly ordinary except that somehow I had an office much bigger than the cubicle that I actually have at work!
It was the size that's usually reserved for directors and above. I didn't have a door for some reason, but I had multiple desk areas and lots of room to spread out, to the extent that apparently I very much had because there were dirty clothes all over the floor.
As I was working to clean things up so the cleaning people at night could vacuum, a former co-worker with a fairly high-pitched voice was there chatting … I have no idea about what.
* * * * * * * * * *
I was a senior in high school, or possibly just graduated.
We were going to a party – hosted on a rooftop – and also strangely attending a wedding that one of our parents were hosting at their extremely elaborate home.
The first party was fairly uneventful, except that I noted finding it satisfying to actually be accepted by the popular kids by association with my friend who was more one of them than I was.
The wedding, on the other hand, was amazing namely for the cakes because instead of only having a single wedding cake, one of our other friends who ran a cake company brought her entire company to the wedding, with the couple getting to pick their favorite cake on the spot.
…and being our friend, we got to pick out some treats before even the wedding couple did…
The most notable was the frosting, which was just to die for, and I stalked the various dessert cases for several minutes as the crowds began to gather before finally making my selection(s)!
* * * * * * * * * *
This same weekend there was also a camping trip with the Boy Scouts that I was supposed to go on.
It was my first outing where I was old enough to go as an adult leader, so I wanted to go up after our parties even if it meant being a day late.
Hitching a ride with a semi-truck driver, we drove over a very questionable bridge into the UP that was honestly amazing that we even crossed, considering the end of the bridge had this disconnected incline where the driver almost had to jump the truck up a ramp and then wiggle the rest of the truck behind us across.
I had one or more of the boys with me, so when we reached this small town nearby to the actual campground, we stopped at this tourist shop where we had been told that they were doing customized t-shirts for everyone who attended.
…themed around The Simpsons???
Anyways, we stood in line with quite a few other kids who were also late, but when we finally got up to the front, the clerk just shrugged us away and said that they'd run out. This really bothered me because they knew in advance how many shirts to order and the mistake was clearly on their part, but he didn't want to admit it. The best he offered was that we could come back in a week and he'd have some more, which was ridiculous because I explained that nobody was going to drive two hours out into the middle of nowhere to get a stupid t-shirt…
When we finally arrived at the campground, we ran into my Dad who told us about everything that the kids had been doing.
I mentioned that two friends of mine were there, and they'd been posting on social media that they'd been having a blast … and also noted that they both happened to be in the middle of transitioning – one from female to male, and the other the opposite.
His response bothered me, as he just chuckled, "I'd like to see the looks on the other boys' faces when they find out…"
To which I quickly interjected, "…because you'd step in and remind them that they're all Boy Scouts, right???"
When he didn't respond, I just added, "That's ok – that's why I'm here now…" looking down at the Assistant Scoutmaster badge that I wore on my arm.
The rest of the trip was surprisingly uneventful. I met some of the staff members who were from Canada, and we talked politics and I asked in particular what they thought of our current events, and if they could help us out!
This made them laugh, and we all shared stories of earning our highest rank as youth and what it meant to be leading a new group of boys now.
At one point another leader from our troop showed up with even more late boys in tow, and it was surprising how true to character he was … always strict, yet he'd go well beyond the extra mile for any scout in need, even if it meant driving him two hours into the middle of nowhere on a Saturday night so that he could catch the last few hours of a group outing.

|Granddad Bob White looking at diploma
My grandfather as far as I can recollect did not attend college. All his children attended and a few even received advanced degrees. My graduating class at Mathias, WV in 1955 was all of twelve strong. At least half graduated from college. I distinctly recall feeling a little foolish in my cap and gown, even though I had scarcely attained the gold chord of the Honor society. Though college was a definite next step I knew that I was an adult only in name, that true adulthood was when you were economically independent. Still, there was the family jubilation upon my graduation.
Over the decades it is the college degree that signals entrance into adulthood and that open doors to jobs or careers that promise some economic security or personal fulfillment. Dan graduated from one of the nation's top high schools and will be attending Temple University nearby with both academic and sports scholarships. He soccer abilities have been noted.
The Hotel Dupont, one of the venerable and classy national hotels has a history going back a hundred years and she carries her age with dignity and aplomb. That the school holds its ceremonies at this venue speaks volumes.
Afterwards we celebrated at his home with both sets of grandparents and family.

"Active management is a zero-sum game, and that's before costs. That's not opinion, that's math."
--Eugene Fama, 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics, Professor of Finance, Chicago Booth, as quoted in Barron's, "A New Dimension", January 4, 2014
Market Dimensions
Eugene Fama has had a busy few months. Thrust from relative obscurity in the investing world, the University of Chicago finance professor was awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economics, and kicked off 2014 by capturing Barron's full-page cover, alongside long-time business partner, David Booth—the two of them smiling under the all-caps epithet "MARKET BEATERS."
The Barron's story, written by Beverly Goodman, chronicles the success of Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), the mutual fund company Booth founded to put into practice what he learned from Fama, among others, while a student at the University of Chicago. Back in 1965, Fama set forth his Nobel Prize-winning theory that markets are efficient and that no amount of forecasting, analysis or stock-selection enables an investor to consistently beat the market.
Implementing Fama's premises, Booth (and retired co-founder Rex Sinquefield) set out to capture market returns, while seeking to enhance those returns through very efficient trading methods and by tilting the market portfolio toward small companies and value stocks; Fama's other research (together with Ken French) showed that small and value stocks delivered compensated risk exposures — additional returns for the additional risk taken.
DFA has enjoyed stellar success in the 30 years since its humble start in Booth's 2-bedroom Brooklyn brownstone. Today, this multi-national company's home is a sprawling campus in Austin, Texas -- an impressive think-tank where academics and a handful of Nobel Prize winners put research findings into practice. Despite the fact the firm does not advertise, it has amassed more than $330 billion in assets. These two videos (Part 1 and Part 2) will give you further insight into this unique investment firm.
Changing the Way the World Invests
Since 1999, our firm, Index Fund Advisors (IFA) has educated investors the world over about Fama's findings and the merits of a globally diversified portfolio built with low-cost index funds — namely from DFA. Leveraging the ability to communicate to the masses through the web, ifa.com set out to "change the way the world invests by replacing speculation with science."
Through the free and ongoing distribution of information about Fama's and other Nobel prize-winning research, along with hundreds of academic studies, articles, videos, charts and graphs, ifa.com has effectively communicated DFA's value to investors. After 15 years of continuous education and 15,000,000 page views, and more than 1,000,000 blog views, we are proud to have played a role in bringing the lessons of market efficiency to the masses.
Education is a tall order. It's not just about pushing out any information. It's about research — combing through reams of studies, and discerning evidence from hype, and clarifying the difference. It's also about clearly articulating a message about topics discussed within an industry that thrives on ambiguity and inconsistency — with no uniformly agreed upon terms that are clearly defined.
The Barron's piece provides an excellent example. It highlights Fama, who is known for his assertion that no one can fashion a strategy to consistently beat the market — and yet it credits him and Booth for developing a method that does just that.
The "market" is a term used to describe a benchmark index, and there are many — each with differing styles and risk and return characteristics. The S&P 500 is the most commonly cited index, and it is usually what investors conjure up when they hear the term "the market." Vanguard's flagship index mutual fund, Vanguard 500 simply buys and holds the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 index, composed of a blend of large U.S. growth and value companies. Other funds, such as the exchange-traded-fund SPY, accomplish this same task.
One of the main culprits behind the confusion or inconsistency of statements found in the investing industry, in general, and also carried through in the Barron's piece is that there are no universally applied definitions of terms such as "index funds." While many have long viewed DFA as being a supplier of index funds (IFA included), the commonly held understanding of the term doesn't easily fit DFA, leaving enough ambiguity to give rise to the notion that DFA is actually beating an appropriate index. And Goodman fuels the fire of confusion by stating that we should be wary to "liken what DFA does to indexing." Why not?
What's in a Name?
Wikipedia describes an index fund as a "mutual fund that aims to replicate the movements of a specific financial market, OR (emphasis added) a set of rules of ownership that are held constant regardless of market conditions." A definition that our President Mark Hebner contributed to Wikipedia. DFA operates its funds under a defined set of rules, and those rules are held constant regardless of market conditions. DFA's rules of construction allow for latitude beyond strict adherence to a known and widely used index (tracking error is not a worry). DFA's indexes do not abide by the same rules of construction as other widely used benchmark indexes such as the Russell or S&P indexes, but the company certainly applies and adheres to its own rules within its funds.
Barron's cites various factors that DFA exploits to "provide market-beating returns," along with "sophisticated trading strategies." However, consider those "factors" and "sophisticated trading strategies" as part of the rules of ownership that define DFA's funds, and DFA's index or even "factor" or "rules-based" funds begin to take shape.
Active About Passive
Index funds are sometimes referred to as "passive" investments a turn of phrase Booth rejects: "I recoil when people think that what we do is being passive, because it has nothing to do with being passive… We are trying to beat the market without forecasting in the usual sense," the article quotes Booth.
While Dimensional funds are easily parsed into index categories based on geography, market-cap size and value/growth dimensions, there are other rules that drive the decision to invest in one company at a given time — none of which are based on short term forecasts or speculation, and all of which are based on those pre-determined rules of construction, including the firm's willingness to assess how badly a seller needs to part with their shares, and the seller's desire to sell the lot quickly, and at a discount.
IFA would broadly characterize actively managed fund managers as "short term speculators" and passively managed fund managers as "long term investors."
"Where people get killed is getting in and out of investments. They get halfway into something, lose confidence, and then try something else. It's important to have a philosophy," says Booth. DFA's philosophy is embedded in their rules of construction. And, in an ironic twist, one could easily assert that DFA's success is, in large part, attributable to those rules that afford the firm flexibility to provide instant liquidity to active managers when they "lose confidence" and need to sell a lot of shares, and fast.
DFA very actively researches historical market data, and seeks to increase returns relative to traditional benchmarks, by keeping costs low through their proprietary and flexible trading methods. That said, in IFA's opinion, DFA is not a manager that has been applying a short term forecasting or speculating strategies to beat a benchmark index. Instead, they are very long term investors who have developed their own unique set of rules, and Dimensional Indexes, that are focused on the factor research of Fama, French and other academics, as well as internal trading rules-based strategies that minimize market impact costs and capture liquidity premiums for being a patient buyer and seller of stocks or bonds that meet their rules of construction.
While the investing industry is rife with vagaries and inconsistencies, Nobel Prize winner, Eugene Fama remains abundantly clear on this point: "Active management is a zero-sum game, and that's before costs. That's not opinion, that's math."

For the past three years Pompey in the Community have been running a Christmas Party for some of the children in the community that are not as fortunate or as well as others. The children come from local schools and a few from Hannah's Holiday Homes. The aim is to ensure that all children receive a gift from Santa and that they experience a time to have fun and just be kids.
This year with the help of supporters and fans at the football club, Tesco Fratton Park and their amazing customers we managed to ensure that not only did the kids get gifts each they also had a DJ and a visit from Elsa and Olaf who sang and danced with them. The popcorn and candy floss machines were a massive hit as always – sugar rush can be an amazing thing!!
Nelson and some of the footballers made an appearance and as always the kids were thrilled, so many thanks to them.
We are definitely going to be running this event again next year as it seems to be growing in numbers and the smiles on so many faces makes it one of highlights of the year.
So if you know of any child that could benefit from joining in the fun or if anyone would like to help with sponsorship please let me know.
Finally, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2017.

Vegan Food Sales Up By 1,500% in Past Year
Vegan food sales are up by a whopping 1,500 per cent in the past year, according to new figures released to coincide with World Vegan Day.
More than half a million people in the UK now say they follow the vegan lifestyle, which is up by 260 per cent in the last ten years, and a third of the population identifies as 'flexitarian', which simply means they are cutting down on their meat consumption.
There is a lot of people switching to plant-based alternatives to dairy products, with sales of Alpro Unsweetened Almond Milk have gone up by 2,343 per cent since 2015 – the equivalent of over 265k litres or around 3,300 baths full of this nut based alternative to cow's or goat's milk!
Vegetarian meat alternatives are also up by thousands of percentage points, as is sales of snacks such as Smoked Tofu and Cauldron Falafel. In the run-up to Christmas treats such as Alpro Vanilla Soya Custard (+1,142 per cent) , Rakusen's Non-Dairy Chocolate Digestives (+1,643 per cent) and Booja Booja Hunky Punky Chocolate Ice Cream (+2,756 per cent) are also on the way up.
Jacques Thudichum, Buying Manager – Chilled Prepared Foods at Ocado, says: "Consumer appetite for vegan-friendly foods in the UK is showing no sign of slowing down, as 'flexitarianism' emerges as the key trend of the moment. We've listened to our customers and have hugely expanded our vegan selection this year, adding new and exciting products each week to become one of our strongest categories.
"Whatever the lifestyle – whether fully embracing veganism or just looking to make some simple swaps – Ocado is committed to making these products as accessible as possible."

While it makes me happy that number our up it should be clear that veganism is NOT a 'lifestyle' or a diet – it's a moral and ethical baseline. This is a social justice movement. "Plant based" is how we describe people who are eating more veggies for all the other reasons (diet). Someone can't be 'mostly' vegan in the same way you can't be 'mostly not a racist" either you are or you aren't.
Agreed Rachel! Franky – you are literally never alone! There are so many of us growing in numbers fighting for animals all over the world, for me i'm doing the same in Dubai and trust me it gets so difficult and lonely at times, but it is so encouraging to know the vast number of vegans who support you!
Jack Peat, the writer of this article, I ask you 'Do you even have any idea what vegans eat? The photo of a pizza leaves me dismayed at what a meat eater actually things we vegans consume. This is junk food in my mind. I eat fresh veggies and pulses for my meals and lots of raw foods too. Nuts, fruits, grains, pulses, veggies etc. Not pizza !!

At the end of the 1990s, the underground emo scene had almost entirely disappeared. However, the term emo was still being bandied about in mainstream media, almost always attached to the few remaining 90s emo acts, including Jimmy Eat World.
However, towards the end of the 1990s, Jimmy Eat World had begun to shift in a more mainstream direction. Where Jimmy Eat World had played emocore-style music early in their career, by the time of the release of their 2001 album Bleed American, the band had downplayed its emo influences, releasing more pop-oriented singles such as "The Middle" and "Sweetness". As the public had become aware of the word emo and knew that Jimmy Eat World was associated with it, the band continued to be referred to as an "emo" band, despite their objections. Newer bands that sounded like Jimmy Eat World (and, in some cases, like the more melodic emo bands of the late 90s) were soon included in the genre.
2003 saw the success of Chris Carrabba, the former singer of emo band Further Seems Forever, and his project Dashboard Confessional. Despite musically being more aligned to the singer songwriter school, Carraba found himself part of the emerging "popular" emo scene. Carrabba's music featured lyrics founded in deep diary-like outpourings of emotion. While certainly emotional, the new "emo" had a far greater appeal amongst adolescents than its earlier incarnations.
With Dashboard Confessional and Jimmy Eat World's success, major labels began seeking out similar sounding bands. Just as many bands of the early-to-mid 1990s were unwillingly lumped under the umbrella of "grunge", some record labels wanted to be able to market a new sound under the word emo.
At the same time, use of the term "emo" expanded beyond the musical genre, which added to the confusion surrounding the term. The word "emo" became associated with open displays of strong emotion. Common fashion styles and attitudes that were becoming idiomatic of fans of similar "emo" bands also began to be referred to as "emo". As a result, bands that were loosely associated with "emo" trends or simply demonstrated emotion began to be referred to as emo.
In an even more expanded way than in the 90s, emo has come to encompass an extremely wide variety of bands, many of whom have very little in common. The term has become so broad that it has become nearly impossible to describe what exactly qualifies as "emo".
The classification of bands as "emo" is often controversial. Fans of several of the listed bands have recoiled at the use of the "emo" tag, and have gone to great lengths to explain why they don't qualify as "emo". In many cases, the term has simply been attached to them because of musical similarities, a common fashion sense, or because of the band's popularity within the "emo" scene, not because the band adheres to emo as a music genre.
As a result of the continuing shift of "emo" over the years, a serious schism has emerged between those who relate to particular eras of "emo". Those who were closely attached to the hardcore origins recoil when another type of music is called "emo". Many involved in the independent nature of both 80s and 90s emo are upset at the perceived hijacking of the word emo to sell a new generation of major label music. Regardless, popular culture appears to have embraced the terms of "emo" far beyond its original intentions.
In a strange twist, screamo, a sub-genre of the new emo, has found greater popularity in recent years through bands such as Thrice and Glassjaw. The term screamo, however, was used to describe an entirely different genre in the early 1990s, and the new screamo bands more resemble the emo of the early 1990s. Complicating matters further is that several small scenes devoted to original screamo still exist in the underground. However, the new use of "screamo" demonstrates how the shift in terms connected to "emo" has made the varying genres difficult to categorize.
The difficulty in defining "emo" as a genre may have started at the very beginning. In a 2003 interview by Mark Prindle, Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Rites of Spring was asked how he felt about "being the creator of the emo genre". He responded: "I don't recognize that attribution. I've never recognized 'emo' as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me."
Fashion and stereotype
Emo is also often associated with a certain fashion. The term "emo" is sometimes stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes, dyed black, straight hair, tight t-shirts (sometimes with short-sleves) which often bear the names of rock bands (or other designed shirts), studded belts, belt buckles, canvas sneakers or skate shoes or other black shoes (often old and beaten up) and thick, black horn-rimmed glasses. Emo fashion has changed with time. Early trends included straight, unparted hair, tightly fitting sweaters, button-down shirts, and work jackets. This fashion has at times been characterized as a fad.
In recent years the popular media has associated emo with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty. It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide.
As certain fashion trends and attitudes began to be associated with "emo", stereotypes emerged that created a specific target for criticism. In the early 2000s, the criticism was relatively light-hearted and self-effacing. In ensuing years, the derision increased dramatically. Male fans of emo found themselves hit with homosexual slurs, largely a reflection of the style of dress popular within the "emo scene" and the purported displays of emotion common in the scene. Complaints pointed to the histrionic manner in which the emotions were expressed. In 2008, Time Magazine reported that people the article referred to as "anti-emos" attacked groups of emo teenagers in Mexico City, Santiago de Querétaro in Mexico and Tijuana
In October of 2003, Punk Planet contributor Jessica Hopper leveled the charge that the current era of emo was sexist. Hopper argued that where bands such as Jawbox, Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate had characterized women in such a way that they were not "exclusively defined by their absence or lensed through romantic-specter", contemporary bands approached relationship issues by "damning the girl on the other side ... its woman-induced misery has gone from being descriptive to being prescriptive". Regarding the position of women listening to emo, Hopper went on to note that the music had become "just another forum where women were locked in a stasis of outside observation, observing ourselves through the eyes of others".
Critics of modern emo have argued that there is a tendency toward increasingly generic and homogenized style. Many popular bands have attempted to disassociate themselves with the "emo" tag; some have adopted the genre designation post-hardcore. Despite the criticism, the modern version of emo has maintained mainstream popularity. However, given the disfavor of the term "emo", the future of the genre remains unclear.
In September 2006, emo music was criticised by Tom Meighan lead singer of rock band Kasabian, who complained about the depressing nature of the lyrics and its lack of positives.

Kate Upton wears retro sweater again to Game 6 of World Series
Some models might shy away from wearing the same thing twice. But not Kate Upton. Not when it comes to THE sweater.
The fiancee of Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander made the retro Mitchell & Ness sweater jacket the object of many Houston women's obsessions when she wore it to Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Since then, it has sold out and left one store with a wait list of 70 people (and growing).

At a casual glance, the two articles may not appear to be closely related. The first article is about the national costs of teacher turnover, and the second is about a school in Southern Oregon where students are themselves responsible for the cleanliness and upkeep of their school.
On the surface, each story could easily turn on a question about money: where's it going, and why? Just under the surface, though, there may be a deeper question: who belongs?
As the first article suggests, teacher pay is likely not a predominating factor in the grand scheme of turnover. Many new teachers leave the profession because they feel they lack voice, autonomy, and/or empathetic support . . . because they feel detached from any sense of community and deprived of the many benefits a sense of community can (and should) provide.
Similarly, in the second article, the question arises: whose community is it? A perfunctory look at schools can show that their aesthetic qualities often correlate to their success. In a very general sense, successful schools tend to be well kept, and unsuccessful schools tend to be unkempt. People take pride in and relate to the characteristics of their communities, and it appears that a little autonomous responsibility might just go a long way:

2011 plan limits are generally unchanged or changed only slightly according to attorney Charles C. Shulman.
Document Excerpt
On October 28, the IRS announced that because the cost of living for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2010 was lower than the cost of living in quarter ending Sept. 30, 2008 (although it was slightly higher than the cost of living for quarter ending Sept. 30, 2009), the pension plan limits for 2011 adjusted by IRC § 415(d) will remain unchanged at the 2010 and 2009 level. Certain other limits relating to retirement plans will increase slightly. PBGC maximum insurance benefit and PBGC premiums are unchanged. Limit for transit passes and van pooling have not yet been announced. Social Security taxable wage base is unchanged.

It's A Baby Woman!
A good friend of mine became a grandmother on June 28. It's been ages since I've had the pleasure of making little baby girl clothes and I just had to indulge. I found a pattern that didn't require me to put pins, presser foot, and fingers into a tiny opening and went out and bought fabric I like. I just can't bring myself to make pastel baby looking clothes. I've noticed that when babies see something that's a bright color, that's where the baby focuses. So I chose an Asian print and a wild batik. Then I had fun picking out buttons.

Canterbury Combined Chartered Clubs Darts Association (Inc) - What is it?
For decades now the bulk of darts competition in Christchurch and Canterbury have been based around the chartered clubs. It was recognised in 1959 that an organisation was needed to oversee the darts sections of the many clubs and ensure that rules and standards were adhered to and the CCCCDA was formed. The CCCCDA executive is also responsible for organising events like the Christchurch Winter Competition, South Island Championships as well as overseeing the grading of darts players in the region.
The CCCCDA executive looks after relationships with the New Zealand parent body (Clubs New Zealand) and ensures that Canterbury players meeting the required standard are able to compete at national and international levels.

Kano state governor, Umar Ganduje, this morning, failed to appear before the state house of Assembly's panel of inquiry investigating the bribery scandal he is currently involved in.
Journalist Jaafar Jaafar recently released video evidence of the Kano state governor allegedly receiving bribe from state contractors. After the videos were released online, the state House of Assembly immediately set up a panel of inquiry to investigate the allegation.
Last week, Jaafar appeared before the panel and insisted that the videos were authentic and that he has more copies of the video where the governor was secretly filmed collecting bribe in dollars from some of the contractors employed by the state.
Today, Governor Ganduje was expected to appear before the panel to defend himself. He however sent in the state's Commissioner of Information, Mohammed Garba,who presented a letter to the Speaker of the House. In the letter, Governor Ganduje alleged that the bribe scandal is the handiwork of saboteurs.
"I never collected bribe, but I am not surprised that I am being sabotaged in the same way attempts were made to sabotage Emir Sanusi and former Governor Shekarau" Governor Ganduje said in his letter

Following the acquisition of the management of the Astudo Hotels & Resorts Group, Centara Hotels & Resorts has announced the rebranding of all 12 Astudo properties to be under Centara name, effective from 01 April 2010.
As a result on this rebranding, Centara becomes Thailand's largest hotel chain, with 43 properties throughout Thailand and overseas.
The rebranding of all Astudo's hotels and resorts includes the three X2, Away, and Le Bayburi brands, and totals 11 properties throughout Thailand.
The remaining hotel is The Case Manila, Astudo's property in the Philippines, which will be renamed as "Centara Manila Hotel".
Initial rebranding of these includes "X2 Kui Buri", which will be renamed "X2 Hua Hin Kui Buri Villas By Design Centara Boutique Collection", "Away Pranburi", which will become "Away Hua Hin Centara Boutique Collection", and "Le Bayburi Pranburi", which will be renamed "The Bayburi Vacation Villas Hua Hin Centara Boutique Collection."
Centara aims to operate 50-60 hotels and resorts under the Boutique Collection brand within 5-10 years.
Commenting on the rebranding, Suthikiati Chirathivat, Chairman of the Executive Board of Central Plaza Hotel (Public) Co Ltd said: "I believe this is one of the most significant steps in Centara's development since we rebranded from Central to Centara in 2007.
"We have followed a strategy of strong growth, expanding our management contract operations, opening properties overseas, and launching the Centara Boutique Collection. We are very proud of becoming Thailand's largest hotel chain, with 42 properties and 6,400 rooms, but growth is not at the expense of quality for we never forget the absolute core of our business, which is in excellence of service to our guests."
Centara Hotels and Resorts currently operates a chain of 25 hotels and resorts throughout Thailand, with the properties being either self-owned or managed under contract, and a further 13 are at present under development. In addition five resorts have been added in international destinations, totalling 43 properties.
