FedEx Ground veteran executive Henry J. Maier will take over as president and CEO of the Moon Township-based delivery company with the May retirement of David F. Rebholz.
FedEx Ground, a division of Memphis, Tenn.-based FedEx (NYSE: FDX) has 3,000 employees in the region, making it southwestern Pennsylvania's 20th-largest employer according to the 2013 Pittsburgh Business Times Book of Lists.
Maier is now executive vice president in charge of strategic planning, corporate communications and contractor relations. He is a 25-year veteran of FedEx and has held a number of positions at the company. His new job includes leading FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx SmartPost, and he will be a member of the FedEx Strategic Management Committee.
"Henry has vast experience going back to the early days of FedEx Ground and has played a leading role in shaping the incredible long-term success of the company," FedEx Chairman, President and CEO Frederick W. Smith said in a prepared statement. "FedEx Ground has differentiated itself with industry-leading speed and outstanding service, and customers are increasingly choosing FedEx for ground package transportation. I have the utmost confidence that under Henry's leadership, FedEx Ground will continue to successfully drive its growth strategy and further strengthen its competitive position."
Maier and Reholz weren't immediately available for interviews Tuesday, a FedEx Ground spokeswoman said.

Key 1-yard TD by Vernon Davis got a little coaching from Frank Gore Jason Cole
San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis credited running back Frank Gore with helping him get ready for his 1-yard, toe-tapping touchdown catch on Sunday in the playoff game at Carolina.
Davis said that earlier in the week during practice Gore came to him and threw him several passes to simulate the diving catch along the side of the end zone, Gore telling Davis, "We've got to have this this week."
The catch was Davis' only one of the game and was initially called incomplete until it was reversed after review. As Davis came to the sideline, he thought about what Gore had said during the week.
"I had a flashback of Frank throwing me that ball," Davis said. "And when I sat down on the bench, I was like, 'My God, that's the same exact catch that Frank was throwing me this past week.'"

STHHTM part 4"Open your eyes, team!" Ralts' voice snapped me out of my slumber, "It is another great working day!"With a groan, I got up. My head rose, with a little help from my stubby paws, and I looked around me. Ralts was holding a couple of letters, and seeming to be talking to Sableye about them. Jo was just rising from her little hay bed, giving me a small smile as she did so. Ben rolled out of the bed and onto his feet, his tail wagging a little. And finally, Hannah rose from her little bed and gave a catlike stretch, seeming to get shocked when she realised what she was doing. Ralts walked up to us after a few seconds, and handed us all some apples for breakfast. We chewed on our sweet flavoured meal as Ralts continued to read through the mail with his partner, so we were able to talk to each other while we ate."Wonderful morning, isn't it?" Ben said, stretching his arms out and looking at Jo, "Anyway, are you feeling alright? We got worried about you when you ran off screaming. Being a
STHHTM part 3"Ah, you made it!" I heard Ralts' voice say when my eyes finally opened. I looked around me, seeing all my friends getting up groggliy. Pikachu was already standing up, tapping his feet impatiently."You guys really are newbies." He muttered, "And to think I expected a high class rescue team to save me from those bullies. Anyway, here's your reward." He handed us some golden coins with the word P on them. Ralts waddled over, counted the money, and gave us our 40% share. Turns out that we were left with 400 of these coins."Heh...good job, kids." Ralts said, looking over and finally noticing Flareon, who was sitting on what seemed to be a crate, "Oh...and who is this?" A small blush could be seen on the Ralt's pale face."Oh...I am a...friend of these kids." The orange dog jumped down from the crate, wagging her tail again, "Oh...and I must tell you one little thing...this place is a dump.""Y-yeah...I know." Ralts looked down shyly, "I really need to fix the place up...but I don't know
STHHTM part 2We were lead to a strange, crumbling house. The place looked a terrible mess, with parts of the house seeming to crumble off while we looked at it. A few beams of wood seemed to be the only thing holding the house up, and even they looked like they were going to break any second. The grass was a strange grey colour, and looked like it was about to die. The place just looked desolate and abandoned, which made me wonder if the Ralts just found a random house for us to live in for the moment. The Ralts looked at us with a beady eye, and pointed to the house."This is another reason why I need your help...this place is a tip, though it has held like this ever since I was born." He explained, "I hope to patch it up once I evolve, so I will hopefully get that dawn stone with no trouble." He then pointed to a postbox which seemed to be randomly placed in front of the house. "This is where your mail will go...most of these will be SOS messages from pokemon that need help. Each job c
STHHTM part 1I walked slowly across the snow, pacing beside the cave in front of me. This was it...my friends had all decided to go into this cave, and they had not returned from it. They had heard tales of wonderful, magical things happening inside this cave, and had gone in to explore. I had stayed outside the cave to guard, but the real reason was because I was scared. I was scared of what was in the cave, and now my friends had disappeared . I now had to go after them...in the scary cave. I looked back at the cave for a few seconds, shuddering and looking away after. My poor, brave friends. I stopped for a moment to think about them.Hannah was the ditz of the group, wearing nothing but pink and purple dresses, with her dirty blonde hair put in curls. She would not stop chatting about anything her mind would come up with. She was also very hasty and excitable, never calming down for a second. I never really understood why she stayed in our group, the only thing driving her was the idea of findi

Sketches of strange pokemon were etched on the walls, along with some words that were written in footprint runes. Articuno looked at the runes worriedly, and looked up to the tower."We must hurry. Something doesn't feel right." The ice bird stepped back carefully. "It's too quiet.""We need to catch up with our group, Articuno." Rustlebrah said grimly. "We don't have any choice.

Attorney tries to block testimony in Myers case
Attorneys for Ty Hill, the Santa Maria man facing a possible death sentence for his alleged role in the 2010 kidnapping and murder of Nipomo teenager Dystiny Myers, called roughly a dozen law enforcement and fire officials to the stand on Dec. 5 in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court in an attempt to suppress statements made by another suspect to first responders.
According to testimony from a number of first responders, co-defendant Cody Miller talked while being treated for injuries he said he sustained at the hands of the other suspects.
Chris Rehs, a seasonal firefighter with Cal Fire who responded to the September 2010 brush fire on Parkhill Road in Santa Margarita, testified that he was the first to make contact with Miller, who he said made statements about being high on methamphetamines and that within the fire was the body of a girl they had burned in a barrel.
"He was coherent, alert, and oriented," Rehs said. "He knew where he was and what was going on."
In a case where attorneys for the five defendants are attempting to discredit the others—as well as combat prosecutors—Hill's attorney, Bill McLennan, argued that Miller's statements at the time were not "spontaneous," and therefore not reliable as evidence against his client.
"[Miller's] initial statements may be delirious, but they're not spontaneous," McLennan argued to Judge Barry LaBarbera.
Other fire personnel testified that they attempted to get information out of Miller to determine if more suspects were on site, or if their crews were in danger.
Another CalFire firefighter, Curtis Rhodes, who was also early on the scene, testified that such questioning was part of his situational awareness training.
"I can't help you unless you give me some kind of facts to go on," Rhodes said he told Miller. "You're the only one here, sir, and the way it looks right now … your story doesn't add up."
Attorneys for both sides weren't available for comment because a gag order has been placed on the proceedings.

Not just for trim, painting with black can be a smart, stylish choice for an entire wall. See how these designers use the paint color to a room's advantage.
By Susan KleinmanMore in Decorating
Beautiful With Black
"Every room needs some black," says designer Miles Redd. "It's like eyelashes and eyebrows: It makes everything else look framed and focused." Which is exactly how this red dining room, designed by Douglas Dolezal and Robert Miller, looks.
And there's certainly no shortage of ways you can introduce black. It really does go with almost everything. "As is the case with white," says designer Nicole Sassaman, "black can look good with almost any color. But it is best used with contrasting colors — lights and brights — rather than darker shades of brown and so forth. Bright colors like pinks and oranges really sizzle against black."
Redd also favors the color with bright, bright accents. "I adore pink with black and white — and make it a shocking pink!" he says. Redd also loves emerald green with black and white, and all kinds of blue.
And don't restrict yourself to solid-and-solid combos, either, say designers Alexandra Loew and Lauren Soloff, principals of The Desk of Lola. "Certain patterns can also look great with black," they say. You might try a feminine black-and-white print, a traditional toile or a graphic modern pattern. Or, try accenting black walls with ethnic textiles. "Their textures," Loew and Soloff say, "can be a great foil to the slickness of black and white."

Queen Elizabeth crowns start to jubilee at races

EPSOM, England - A beaming Queen Elizabeth enjoyed a day at the races on Saturday, indulging a lifelong passion for horses at the launch of four days of nationwide Diamond Jubilee celebrations to mark her 60 years on the British throne.Wearing a blue coat and matching hat, the 86-year-old was greeted by tens of thousands of flag-waving well-wishers at the Epsom Derby in southern England to watch one of the racing calendar's richest events.Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins led the crowd in singing the national anthem as the queen and husband Prince Philip looked on, reflecting a mood of patriotism that has swept the country as the queen reaches a rare milestone.Only one monarch has celebrated a diamond jubilee before - Queen Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother Victoria in 1897. The festivities mark the start of a summer of revelry in Britain with London also hosting the Olympic Games in July."It's a wonderful day to be British. It's not often you get a chance to show your pride," said racegoer Carole Peck from Ipswich in eastern England."All ages, all classes are mingling together with one thing in common. I think the whole thing with the Olympics, the queen and the Jubilee, it's time to fly the flag."The queen is a keen horse rider and breeder, and visits Epsom every year. While few personal details are known about the famously discreet head of state, it is reported that she reads the Racing Post sports newspaper over breakfast each morning.Amid a crowd wearing top hats and tails and women in their snazziest dresses, the queen looked on appreciatively from the royal box as Derby winner Camelot was heralded in the winner's circle. Later she presented trophies to the winning jockey, trainer and owners.The focus turns to London on Sunday, where huge crowds are expected to line the streets and the River Thames for a series of spectacular events, although rain is forecast which could dampen enthusiasm.Millions more are expected to attend street parties across the country as surveys of public opinion show the royal family's popularity is as high as it has been for decades.Across Britain, red, white and blue "Union Jack" flags billow from street lamps, shop fronts and houses, and sales of patriotic souvenirs have rocketed ahead of the celebrations.On Sunday, a flotilla of 1,000 boats assembled from around the globe will sail along the Thames to accompany the queen and her 90-year-old husband on a royal barge, the largest such pageant for 350 years.Thousands of street parties are planned across the country, including one in Downing Street outside Prime Minister David Cameron's office, as part of a "Big Jubilee Lunch".The queen's London residence Buckingham Palace will host a pop concert on Monday featuring the likes of Paul McCartney and Elton John, before a network of beacons are lit across Britain and around the Commonwealth.The celebrations culminate on Tuesday with a memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral, a carriage procession through central London and a fly-past by present and former Royal Air Force aircraft.To royalists, the jubilee is a chance to express their appreciation of a woman who acceded to the throne in February 1952 on the death of her father George VI.For others, the chance of some extra days off work and to enjoy the sort of public ceremony for which Britain is renowned has made the jubilee a welcome break from austere times, pay freezes and public spending cuts.Republicans hope the occasion marks the last hurrah of what they say is a dying anachronism they estimate costs the taxpayer up to 200 million pounds ($307 million) a year.About a million people are expected to travel to London for the flotilla alone, but not all will be cheering for the queen - banner-waving republicans plan to protest at Tower Bridge during the event.Police said the weekend would include the largest royal security operation. About 13,000 officials including around 6,000 police officers will be on duty for the Thames pageant. ($1 = 0.6521 British pounds)

Climate change 'whole of island' approach adopted in Kiribati
TARAWA, Kiribati --- Kiribati is leading what appears to be a world-first effort to implement a 'whole-of-island' approach to climate change adaptation and disaster risk management in a coral atoll nation.
The island of Abaiang, north of the capital island of Tarawa, was identified by the Government of Kiribati as a pilot site where community resilience to climate change and natural hazards will be addressed in an integrated fashion across all sectors of social and economic life.
Representatives from the Office of the Beretitenti and the new Kiribati National Expert Group on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management recently travelled to Abaiang to conduct 'integrated vulnerability assessments' in 18 communities and all of the island's schools and health centres. They were supported by specialist staff from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). The assessments are a tool to measure capacity to respond to disasters and climate change by analysing strengths and weaknesses in social structures and local environmental processes.
The combined team discussed issues affecting the local population says Tuake Teena, Senior Fisheries Officer with the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resource Development. 'We learned that there are quite a lot of issues there, in particular a decline in fisheries production. The people told us that many mangroves and seagrass beds have been lost and coral reefs destroyed.'
They also discussed adaptations that community members proposed to support environmental systems to better cope with climate change. 'One of the villages proposed they need to set up a marine protected area. On the government side, we would fully support this kind of idea, because it would enhance the fisheries production, especially in the lagoon.'
The joint mission by government and supporting agencies was endorsed by the nation's cabinet in August 2013 and conducted over a period of weeks in September. The mission is currently on-going in Kiribati and includes an awareness programme.
Following community consultations, the focus has shifted to analysing the data collected and planning integrated responses across multiple sectors, including water, fisheries, agriculture, education, health, and governance. The implementation of these responses will be supported through partnerships between multiple government departments, inter-governmental organisations and development partners.
The integrated approach is designed to more comprehensively support people and the environment on which they depend for sustenance and livelihoods. It promotes better coordination between community, local and national government and donor-funded projects.
'The benefit of an integrated programmatic approach is its administrative efficiency. You get a single management structure and the various development partners all contribute to one reporting framework. It's much easier to manage' says Brian Dawson, Senior Climate Change Advisor with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC).
The 'whole-of-island' approach is a Kiribati-led initiative. The Government of Kiribati requested support from SPC/GIZ to assist their development of the concept in 2011. The partnership between SPC and GIZ is supported with funding from the Federal Republic of Germany. SPC developed a 'one-team approach' across its seven technical divisions to support Kiribati's 'whole-of-island' approach. The delivery of SPC services in scientific research, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation are supported by the European Union, the Australian Agency for International Development and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
SPREP was also requested to support the development and implementation of the 'whole-of-island' approach, in particular through an integrated water resource management project funded by USAID.
The 'whole-of-island' approach is open for further partners to join, including non-governmental organisations.

MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is not concerned by his side's three friendly defeats in the United States and is confident his players will be on top form for the European Super Cup against Sevilla on Aug. 12.
Real were beaten 3-1 by English Premier League side Manchester United in an International Champions Cup match in Michigan on Saturday following reverses to Italian Serie A clubs AS Roma and Inter Milan.
"We are not happy with the defeat," Ancelotti told a news conference at the University of Michigan stadium in Ann Arbor.
"But I am sure we are going to play with a different spirit in the European Super Cup," added the Italian, who led Real to the 2014 Champions League title in his debut season.
"These are preparation matches. We didn't do things well but everything will change next week."
There was at least some good news for Real as Portugal forward and World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, who is recovering from a knee injury, came on with around 20 minutes left to surprise the crowd of 109,318, a record attendance for a football match in the United States.
Ancelotti, who had said before the game Ronaldo would be unable to participate, predicted that once Real's top scorer was back to full fitness and new signings James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos had joined up with the squad the team would be ready for the new season.
"We can't be ready at this point because some players only started (training) a week ago and they are not in optimal condition," Ancelotti said.
"It's normal to have a day like today as the team is not used to playing without Cristiano or the other players.
"With the players who are returning the quality of the squad will improve."
Ronaldo will have recovered from his left knee problem in time to feature in the Super Cup against Europa League winners Sevilla, which takes place in Cardiff, Ancelotti added.

No-Ram's land for Graham
The Associated Press
Published: August 8, 2014; Last modified: August 8, 2014 11:34PM
FORT COLLINS — Colorado State University President Tony Frank has fired athletic director Jack Graham, saying Friday the two had irreconcilable differences of opinion over the direction of the department.
Frank said the firing "is unrelated to the stadium issue."
Graham was leading a campaign to raise $110 million by October to get the go-ahead for a proposed $220 million on-campus stadium project.
"This announcement is surprising and deeply disappointing to me," Graham said in a statement. "I will personally miss the opportunity to continue to build on what we have accomplished during the past two and a half years."
John Morris, Graham's deputy since July 2012, was named interim athletic director.

Committee rejects Bomgar's nomination to Education Board
Published: April 4,2013
Tags: board, education, lawmaker, legislative, legislator, Legislature, nomination, nominee, public education, public school, rejection, software, technology
JACKSON — The Senate Education Committee has rejected Joel Bomgar's nomination to join the state Board of Education.
Bomgar, the 33-year-old founder of Bomgar Corp. of Ridgeland, saw his nomination tabled on an 8-7 vote.
Opponents subjected Bomgar, a Jackson resident, to sharp questioning about his board membership on the conservative-leaning Mississippi Center for Public Policy, his choice to home-school his children and his policy preferences for education.
Bomgar, who was nominated for the nine-year term by House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, defended himself, saying that as CEO of the state's largest software company, he had a vital interest in a well-educated populace.
He says he thinks the Education Committee rejected him because some aren't open to diverse viewpoints on the board.

Obama: Ties with Israel have never been stronger
US President Obama at a campaign rally 370 (R).
(photo credit:Jason Reed / Reuters)
WASHINGTON – Pointing to his own record of support for Israel in order to
question those of his Republican rival, Obama asserted that cooperation between
Washington and Jerusalem has never been stronger than during his presidency,
speaking at a campaign rally in Florida Tuesday.He recalled a statement
by Mitt Romney from earlier this year in which the Republican presidential
candidate said of his positions on Israel, "I think by and large you could just
look at the things the president's done and do the opposite.""Last night
I reminded [Romney] that cooperation with Israel has never been stronger," Obama
retorted in front of a crowd of supporters.During the final debate
before the election, Obama said that when it came to the relationship with
Israel and other allies, "Our alliances have never been stronger, in Asia, in
Europe, in Africa, with Israel, where we have unprecedented military and
intelligence cooperation, including dealing with the Iranian
threat."Obama is open to having bilateral talks with Iran about its
nuclear program, but the United States has not scheduled any negotiations, White
House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Tuesday. "We have been open to
considering negotiations that are bilateral, but we have none scheduled, and we
have no agreements with the Iranians to do that," Carney told reporters. "There
is nothing scheduled. There is no agreement."Citing Obama administration
officials, The New York Times reported on Sunday that the US and Iran had agreed
in principle to oneon- one negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but both the
White House and Iran have denied the report.During the final
presidential debate on Monday, Obama said he had long offered Iran the
possibility of bilateral discussions, a point Carney reiterated, saying, "We are
and have been open to pursuing negotiations if and when the Iranians are serious
about having negotiations."During the debate, both candidates expressed
their intention never to let Iran acquire nuclear weapons, but voters said Obama did a better job than Romney.According to
a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday, voters' opinions of each candidate did
not shift significantly. Some 47 percent of registered voters surveyed in the
online poll judged Obama the victor, while 31 percent believed Romney
won.During the debate, held in Boca Raton, Florida and devoted to
foreign policy, both candidates said they would stand by Israel should it be
attacked by Iran.Both candidates said they would stand by Israel if it
was attacked by Iran."If Israel is attacked, America will stand with
Israel," Obama said when asked whether they would treat an attack on Israel as
an attack on the United States, a status extended to several allies – by
moderator Bob Schieffer of CBS.GOP challenger Mitt Romney echoed Obama,
saying, "If Israel is attacked, we have their back, not just diplomatically, not
just culturally, but militarily."But both candidates declined to answer
what exactly they would do should they receive a phone call informing them that
Israel was attacking Iran."Let's not go into hypotheticals of that
nature," Romney responded, adding that the US relationship with Israel was so
close that, "We would not get a call saying our bombers are on the way, or their
fighters are on the way."This is the kind of thing that would have been
discussed and thoroughly evaluated, well before." He said.Obama, for his
part, did not address the question, relating instead to other aspects of Middle
East policy that Romney had broached as part of his answer.Romney
repeatedly referred to tensions between the US and Israel, saying that the
president's omission of a visit to Israel during his Middle East tour in the
first year of his term was noticed by Arab states, and that "daylight" between
the two countries that was noticed by Iran.Obama responded by talking
about the trip he took to Israel as a candidate in 2008, contrasting it with
Romney's own visit this summer, which included a high-priced
fundraiser."When I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn't take donors.
I didn't attend fundraisers," Obama said. "I went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust
museum there, to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel
will be unbreakable."And then I went down to the border towns of Sderot,
which had experienced missiles raining down from Hamas," he said.Obama
said that when it came to the relationship with Israel and other allies, "Our
alliances have never been stronger, in Asia, in Europe, in Africa, with Israel,
where we have unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation, including
dealing with the Iranian threat."On Iran, Romney labeled it "the
greatest national security threat" America faces, and repeatedly noted that
Tehran is now "four years closer to a nuclear weapon" than when Obama entered
office.Obama, in contrast, pointed to terrorist networks as the biggest
threats. But he stressed, "Iran will not get a nuclear weapon." Though red lines
on Iran have been getting a lot of attention recently, Obama staked out one on
Egypt during the debate. "They have to abide by their treaty with Israel. That
is a red line for us, because not only is Israel's security at stake, but our
security is at stake if that unravels," he said.Iran was the foreign
country mentioned the most during the debate, at 47 times. Israel came in second
at 34, followed closely by China at 32. The Palestinians, in contrast, were
mentioned only once.Romney made the sole reference when he said, "Are
Israel and the Palestinians closer to reaching a peace agreement? No, they
haven't had talks in two years." Neither candidate's favorable ratings shifted
in the wake of the debate, the last of three televised matchups before the
November 6 election. Likewise, voter assessments of the candidates on a range of
issues from the economy to foreign policy did not change by a statistically
significant margin.The full impact of the debate on the race won't show
up in opinion polls for several more days, but it is unlikely that it will give
either candidate a big enough boost to break their statistical tie, Ipsos
pollster Julia Clark said."By this point in the election cycle a lot of
people have formed a more complete view of each candidate," Clark
said.The accuracy of Reuters/Ipsos online polls are measured using a
credibility interval. The survey of 515 registered voters, conducted on Tuesday
following the debate, has a credibility interval of 4.9 percentage points.
