Zend provides an end to end solution to help you create mobile apps faster, and deploy them on an elastic, fault tolerant cloud application platform.
Why "Mobile First" development? Why does Zend believe an API-centric cloud services architecture provides the best backend approach for your apps? See Zend CEO Andi Gutman's thoughts on his blog.
With Zend Server and Zend Studio a developer has access to visual tooling that streamlines the process of creating, testing and deploying mobile applications. With Zend Server and Zend Studio, you can simultaneously create and associate the front end of the mobile application and the back-end web service APIs (RPC-style or RESTful services). This visual tooling takes advantage of the Zend Server Gateway, which provides mobile back-end capabilities including cloud service authentication, filtering, validation, and the execution of business logic.This streamlines the process of creating, testing and deploying mobile applications.
Zend Studio 10 includes a WYSIWYG interface builder that lets developers visually prototype app interfaces in hours that would take days to develop manually. This drag and drop approach generates standard HTML5 and jQuery Mobile output that can be easily modified and extended. In addition, rather than coding native apps for each mobile platform, Zend Studio has tightly integrated Apache Cordova - also known as PhoneGap - which enables access to native device capabilities (GPS, camera, etc.) and builds packages ready for app store distribution across all the major mobile OSes, including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
Zend Server shows real-time analytics giving application owners valuable insight into how mobile users are accessing their applications and how this usage is trending over time. Thanks to the collecting agent sitting inside PHP – statistics are comprehensive and include data for all types of requests, including those for Web Services. Insights include:
In mobile-first architectures, the cloud is the preferred delivery vehicle due to the unpredictability of scale and latency: enterprise-grade apps require a platform that can scale-up and scale-down on-demand. Zend Server provides the best fault-tolerant, scalable application platform for the back end of mobile applications. It provides high availability, amazing performance, elasticity, and application monitoring and alerting. Zend Server enables you to run any app on any cloud (private or public), and is pre-integrated with Amazon, RightScale, VMware, IBM, Red Hat OpenShift and other clouds.
Zend also ensures that your investment in open technologies is backed up by experts. Subscriptions to Zend Server include technical support for PHP, Zend Framework, and Zend Server Gateway.
PHP is among the most popular languages for corporate web development today, called Internet English by VentureBeat. It is the most frequent choice for the back end of cloud applications; in recent research four out of five decision makers using PHP confirmed that it lets their teams develop faster compared to other languages, and that PHP provides the easiest choice for the development of cloud apps.

Getting a Good Start
Who starts charter schools? Thoughtful community members, concerned parents, dedicated teachers, university educators, and political and business people are among those who have come together to create charter schools. KIPP Academy Houston was started by two former Teach For America teachers using two classrooms within a pre-existing public school. The BASIS School in Tucson was started by a husband and wife team of college educators. Roxbury Prep in Boston, the School of Arts and Sciences in Tallahassee, and Community of Peace Academy in St. Paul, were launched by educators with a vision for an academic alternative to the public schools in their local communities. Others such as Oglethorpe Charter School in Savannah, and the Arts and Technology Academy in Washington, D.C., were developed by groups of parents working together with community members on a grassroots level.
As new public schools, they all experienced immense start-up challenges, including developing the mission and vision for the school, thinking through every facet of the school program, writing the charter, hiring staff, making decisions about curriculum, and securing the building and funds needed to open. One comment resurfaced at each school: They could never have anticipated how much hard work would be involved and how many decisions they would have to make to create the systems to start a charter school.
Some charter schools begin from scratch; others are conversions from pre-existing public schools. Some handle every aspect of running a school-from curriculum to accounting. Others contract out administrative and business functions. Education management companies can provide charter schools with an operational structure and a curriculum model. For example, Mosaica Education, Inc., contracts with 24 charter schools nationally, including the Arts and Technology Academy, to provide the company's education model as well as central office functions (see figure 3). The Core Knowledge Foundation contracts with the Oglethorpe Charter School, providing curriculum and teacher training. Other charter schools such as KIPP Academy Houston are part of a network of schools that ascribe to a particular school organizational model. The KIPP, Inc., national office helps to support the training of principals and the replication of new KIPP charter schools around the country. But however a charter school originates, each starts with a clear mission, a unifying vision of what the founders want students to know and be able to do, and why.

PRAGUE (AP) Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic will play David Ferrer of Spain in in the opening singles match of the 100th Davis Cup final.
Sixth-ranked Czech Tomas Berdych will face Nicolas Almagro in the second singles match Friday on an indoor hard court.
Defending champion Spain is without injured Rafael Nadal.
The fifth-ranked Ferrer has a career 6-3 record against Stepanek. Berdych, meanwhile, has beaten Almagro in four of their five matches this year.
Ivo Minar and Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic were selected to play Saturday's doubles against Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, who won the ATP World Tour Final title on Monday.
But captain Jaroslav Navratil is expected to bring in Berdych and Stepanek, who are 11-1 in Davis Cup doubles.
The reverse singles are scheduled for Sunday.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — A court ruled Tuesday that a Jamaican commission that investigates allegations of abuse by the island's security forces has the power to arrest and charge accused police officers.
The Independent Commission of Investigations described the judgment by the Constitutional Court as a "major victory" after some three years of wrangling over the issue.
Jamaica's police federation and three other police associations had filed a court application questioning the commission's powers. It was filed after commission investigators arrested and charged a police corporal with the killing of Negril businessman Mickey Hill in 2010.
Three judges ruled for the commission, saying statute and common law does give it the power to arrest, charge and initiate prosecution. Their judgment says the Independent Commission of Investigations' powers "in no way dilute" the authority of the public prosecutor.
Police federation officials did not return calls asking for comment.
The commission started operations in August 2010 after numerous complaints about a police agency called the Bureau of Special Investigations that was then responsible for investigating alleged wrongdoing by officers. Over the years, allegations of citizens' rights abuses including excessive force and extrajudicial killings by security forces increased in the country of some 2.7 million people.
The Independent Commission of Investigations now has a case log of roughly 1,600 cases of alleged abuses, some dating back to 2008. More than 60 percent of these cases involve allegations of fatal shootings, assault and shooting injuries.

NEW YORK — The slowdown in the velocity of office leasing deals experienced just a few short weeks ago probably seems like eons ago to real estate brokers in Manhattan. The aftermath of the World Trade Center (WTC) terrorist attacks has brought brokers more office deals than could have been imagined prior to Sept. 11.
Phones are ringing off the hook. Trying to get an office broker on the phone is an obstacle in itself. "I'm too busy to call you back to talk about how busy I am," said Jeff Bernstein, managing director at New York-based Insignia/ESG, a commercial real estate services firm. After attending a morning meeting, it's now typical for Bernstein to find his voice mailbox nearly entirely full. During the past few days, his normal workday of approximately eight-plus hours has stretched to 12 hours.
Other brokerages also are experiencing a flurry of activity. "Since the crisis, we've been working around the clock," said Josh Carliff, executive vice president of New York-based Cushman & Wakefield. He expects the demand to drop off significantly once the displaced tenants find replacement space.
In the midst of this activity, there are other tenants not affected by the WTC attacks that realized that they needed to hurry up and find space before the displaced firms gobbled up all the remaining offices.
Displaced tenants aren't necessarily being given preference, according to Bernstein, although landlords are sympathetic to their plight. Bernstein stressed that he's willing to put in the extra time to negotiate for tenants struggling with the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
"This flurry will abate very quickly, in less than a month," predicted Bernstein. "New York is a huge engine, and it's moving very quickly."

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Arrangements have been made with all parties for the release of 21 U.N. peacekeepers held captive by Syrian rebels, although the operation was delayed as darkness fell Friday, the United Nations said.
A team of peacekeepers was sent Friday to bring back their colleagues, who are being held in the village of Jamlah near the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, said Josephine Guerrero, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Peacekeeping Department.
Because of the late hour and darkness "it was considered unsafe to continue the operation" but efforts will resume Saturday, she said.
The captive troops, all Filipinos, are from a peacekeeping mission that had monitored a cease-fire line between Israel and Syria without incident for nearly four decades. Their abduction Wednesday illustrated the sudden vulnerability of the U.N. mission amid spillover from Syria's civil war. It sent a worrisome signal to Israel, which fears lawlessness along the shared frontier if Syrian President Bashar Assad is ousted.
Earlier, U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous told reporters that the Filipinos are being held in the basements of four or five houses in Jamlah.
The peacekeepers are apparently safe, he said, but the village "is subjected to intense shelling by the Syrian armed forces."
"As of now, there is perhaps a hope — but I have to be extremely cautious because it is not done yet — but there is the possibility that a cease-fire of a few hours can intervene which would allow for our people to be released," he said after briefing the U.N. Security Council.
"If that were to happen, as we all hope," Ladsous said, "we would strongly expect that there not be retaliatory action by the Syrian armed forces over the village and its civilian population after our people have left."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said late Friday that a media person with the group holding the peacekeepers reported that the rebels would release the captives if there is a cease-fire and a halt in shelling of the area between 10 a.m. and noon local time Saturday.
The Observatory, a British-based group that relies on a network of contacts in Syria, said teams from the Red Cross and the U.N. were expected to reach the area Saturday morning.
The peacekeepers' four-vehicle convoy was intercepted on the outskirts of Jamlah on Wednesday by rebels from a group calling itself the Martyrs of the Yarmouk Brigades.
Rebels said 10 people have died in regime shelling of Jamlah and nearby villages in recent days. Fighting continued Thursday, according to activists.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned rebel forces anew Friday for holding the U.N. peacekeepers but also blamed President Bashar Assad's regime for attacking the area.
"We have the regime shelling this rebel-held position, further endangering the peacekeepers and making it impossible for U.N. negotiators to get in there and try to resolve" the situation, she told reporters in Washington.
Nuland said the U.S. is in contact with Syria's opposition leaders and telling them "that this is not good for them, it's not good for their reputation and that they need to immediately release these people."
Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari denied that government forces were shelling Jamlah, but he said they were involved in military activity in the suburbs "where the armed groups are concentrated."
He said Syria has three goals: To ensure the safe release of the peacekeepers; guarantee the safety of the inhabitants of Jamlah and other villages; and "get these armed groups, terrorists, out of there." He said Syrian soldiers are willing to risk their lives to see the safe release of the peacekeepers.
The capture of the peacekeepers came a week after the announcement that a member of their mission is missing.
Ladsous said that in light of the volatile situation, the United Nations has vacated two positions in the area that were particularly exposed to gunfire.
"In a wider sense, of course we are looking very closely at the 'modus operendi' of the mission in the situation it is facing," he said.
The U.N. monitoring mission, known as UNDOF, was set up in 1974, seven years after Israel captured the Golan and a year after it managed to push back Syrian troops trying to recapture the territory in another regional war.
For nearly four decades, the U.N. monitors helped enforce a stable truce between Israel and Syria.
But in recent months, Syrian mortars overshooting their target have repeatedly hit the Israeli-controlled Golan. In Israel's most direct involvement so far, Israeli warplanes struck inside Syria in January, according to U.S. officials who said the target was a convoy carrying anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allied with Assad and Iran.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said "the mission in the Golan needs to review its security arrangements and it has been doing that."
He said the mission has been looking at different scenarios and arrangements on how to operate "in these new rather difficult and challenging circumstances."
One change that has already been made is the elimination of night patrols, Nesirky said.
Associated Press writers Ben Hubbard in Beirut, Lebanon, and Bradley Klapper in Washington contributed to this report.

The NBA said Saturday it will appoint a chief executive officer to supervise the Los Angeles Clippers' operations.
On Tuesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life for racist comments made on an audio recording, fined him $2.5 million and urged league owners to force him to sell the team.
"The best way to ensure the stability of the team during this difficult situation is to move quickly and install a CEO to oversee the Clippers organization," Mike Bass, the NBA executive vice president of communications, said in a statement. "The process of identifying that individual is underway."
The decision was welcomed by Sterling's wife, Rochelle, who said she was fully committed to making the Clippers the best team in the NBA.
"I spoke with Commissioner Adam Silver this week to tell him that I fully supported his recent swift and decisive action," Rochelle Sterling said.
"We also agreed at that time that, as a next step, both the league and the team should work together to find some fresh, accomplished executive leadership for the Clippers. I welcome his active involvement in the search for a person of the utmost character, proven excellence and a commitment to promoting equality and inclusiveness."
A forced sale would require approval of three-fourths of the league's owners.

Generic drugmaker Actavis Inc, formerly Watson Pharmaceuticals, said on Friday that it was in early stage discussions to buy specialty pharmaceutical company Warner Chilcott Plc.
Actavis said no agreement had been reached and that it would have no further comment on the talks.
Continue Reading Below
The discussions, which had been reported by Bloomberg News, follow unsuccessful merger talks between Actavis and Canada's specialty pharmaceutical company Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc, which were put on hold as the companies failed to agree to terms of a deal.
"These discussions are at a preliminary stage and may or may not lead to an offer for the company," Warner Chilcott said in a statement confirming the negotiations. It too said there would be no further comment unless there is a development for which it feels additional disclosures are "appropriate or required."
Dublin, Ireland-based Warner Chilcott, which more than a year ago said it was seeking a buyer, has a market value of about $3.8 billion.
Shares of both companies jumped after the talks were confirmed. Warner Chilcott shares climbed nearly 23% to $18.46 in afternoon trading on Nasdaq. Actavis shares rose 11.7% to $119.37 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Leerink Swann analyst Jason Gerberry said in a research note that the deal would make sense for both companies.
"Actavis has been vocal about wanting to improve its tax structure and increase its presence in brands (non generic medicines), particularly in women's health," Gerberry said in a research note.
The Irish company has a women's health franchise and a lower tax rate.
"Warner Chilcott is clearly a willing seller, as evidenced by efforts to sell the company last year," Gerberry added.

Willis, CME receive recognitions
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Dr. Stephen Willis
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Dec. 12, 2012) — An East Carolina University physician has been recognized for his work in the field of continuing medical education.
In addition, the CME program at the Brody School of Medicine at ECU has received accreditation with commendation.
Dr. Stephen Willis, executive director of the Eastern Area Health Education Center and associate dean for CME at ECU, has received the Robert Raszkowski, MD, PhD ACCME Hero Award for his volunteer service to the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education.
Willis has served as a recognition surveyor, a member and co-chair of the ACCME Committee for Recognition and Review, and on the ACCME board of directors. He said he is honored to receive the award, and it reflects the medical school's commitment to education.
"It just says (ECU) is a very supportive place to work with an appreciation of … working on the national scene to improve health education," he said.
Willis has also been instrumental in local and national efforts to disengage CME activities from commercial sponsorship.
"This new approach has left speakers and attendees more able to freely learn the relevant facts of clinical care without any shadow of vendors or other commercial sponsors," said Dr. Nicholas Benson, vice dean of the Brody School of Medicine. "It has been a difficult, and not completely popular, process. This award seems to indicate that the national CME accrediting body recognizes the great accomplishments of Steve just as much as our local team does."
ECU's CME reaccreditation term is for six years. Only 22 percent of the providers reviewed from 2008 to 2012 achieved accreditation with commendation. Normally, accreditation is for four years; accreditation with commendation adds another two years.
Randy Horton is the director of the Office of CME at the Brody School of Medicine.
"Dr. Willis and his team at Brody's Office of CME have been working in partnership with (Community Care of North Carolina) to provide performance improvement CME throughout the eastern North Carolina region," said Dr. Elizabeth Baxley, senior associate dean for academic affairs at the medical school. "Performance improvement CME is the leading edge of continuing education, and has its roots in the clinical quality improvement movement. Given this, and the fact that the majority of CME operations have not ventured into this yet, I am not at all surprised they received commendation with their accreditation status."

How Should Progressives Respond To The End Of The Oil Age?
By Erik Lindberg
30 August, 2010
Transition Milwaukee
The August issue of "The Progressive" featured a series of essays on "the Big Spill" in the Gulf of Mexico, with the intention, I believe, of bringing our oil addiction into the foreground of political dialogue. In his article, "Energy Extremism," Michael Klare thus asks a vital question about the end of the oil age. It is a question that has been painfully absent from any sustained dialogue: "How, then, should progressives respond to the current [energy] crisis?"
While I could not support the asking of this question with more enthusiasm and urgency, I was disappointed with his answer, as well as the others presented the August issue of "The Progressive." For the rote and wholly unchallenging answer, which can be heard or seen in nearly all liberal leaning outlets, whether the "Huffington Report," NPR, MSNBC, or "The Progressive," is that we must petition the government to support and invest in alternative energy: "the only way," Klare asserts, "we can overcome our dependence on increasingly hazardous fuels is to develop and install alternative energy systems" such as wind, solar, and geothermal. The job of a good progressive, then, is to lobby and petition for wide-scale government action and leadership. Or as Robert Redford suggests in his contribution: "these are the solutions that will break America's addiction to oil, create jobs, revitalize cities, and put more money in consumers' [!] pockets."
This is far too easy and can easily be seen as a piece of the liberal game of distancing "ourselves" from corporate malfeasance and government shortsightedness: if only others were as aware and forward thinking as we, the necessary and redemptive political will would find form. But I am particularly disturbed by Klare's use of the phrase, "the only way," words which Redford also employs. Not only does this ignore worlds of possibilities, worse yet it once again detains the most likely of these possibilities at the door to the debate. The question that this phrase begs and then buries is, of course, this: can alternative, "green," non-fossil fuel sources of energy actually replace oil, coal and natural gas? Is it even possible that we can overcome our addiction to oil and maintain anything remotely resembling our current economy and, consumer-based, standard of living? Can clean energy actually supply that much power? When, in the same issue of "The Progressive," Bill McKibben (who I believe knows better, and with whom I am very disappointed after reading this installation) says, "what is lacking is not the method; what's lacking is the political will," he clearly implies that fossil fuels can be replaced with something else were there only sufficient political will.
Thus McKibben joins the chorus of alternative energy optimists as they make yet another thoughtless plea to the government to "get us off of oil." Amidst these catchy and reassuring, though mind-numbing, refrains, public discourse (even "progressive" discourse) is once more steered away from pondering any initial and basic calculations about our current levels of consumption and the energy and fuel that makes it possible This should be our starting point as we map our course and consider Klare's question, "how should progressives respond to the current crisis." For the difficult and frightening truth that readers of Energy Bulletin understand, but which has failed to make its way into a broader conversation, is that it is highly unlikely that the cheap, easily accessed, highly portable, relatively safe and stable and, most importantly, highly dense and concentrated fossil fuels upon which we have built our entire world, can ever be reproduced by any other source.
This serves as a valuable reminder that like most modern people, self-described progressives are also accustomed to technological fixes for nearly every problem and challenge, and the very possibility that some breakthrough technology or solution isn't just around the corner is scarcely fathomable; that alternative energy might not be able to replace fossil fuels is so alien and so far removed from popular consciousness that this possibility need not even be discussed or rise to the level at which it is worthy of being dismissed in "The Progressive": apparently it "goes without saying"-- the presumed untapped riches of renewable energy is, after all, "the only way"
So how should a progressive respond to the end of the oil age? He or she must become truly educated about energy and ask the tough questions; and then, I believe, he or she must begin the inevitable energy-descent or power-down that will characterize the 21st century. Perhaps those of us who read and write for Energy Bulletin are mistaken. Perhaps this energy descent is not inevitable. But it certainly is not too much to ask that the question I am proposing actually be addressed. Let us consider asking this question, over and over again, whenever we can and to whomever will listen, until it is finally taken up in the pages of "The Progressive" and other similar outlets to be one of our most pressing challenges.
Raising the issue of peak oil and resource depletion will probably fall to grassroots and non-political groups. Very few political parties are willing risk tackling these taboo subjects. They fear that just talking about it will drive voters away, as happened with Jimmy Carter. In the meantime, renewables is probably a better approach than oil wars.
Several of the articles from the August issue of the Progressive are online:

Don't Waste the Outrage by Bill McKibben

By the end of this year a first-time record of 3.3 billion people, more than half of the world's population, are expected to live in urban areas according to the UN.
This was announced in a documentary entitled "Eco-Cities, Sustainable cities for the Future" launched by IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature – West Asia/Middle East Regional Office and Ministry of Environment during the Eco-Cities of the Mediterranean 2008 conference held in Jordan from 18-20 October, 2008.
The idea about this documentary, funded by the IUCN global Water and Nature Initiative (WANI), came from the pressing need to address the concept of sustainable cities or eco-cities as a solution for all the environmental and economic challenges facing cities in the Middle East and North Africa T
The film focuses on the environmental challenges, current actions and future plans in Jordan and Egypt. Highlighting the issues of water quality and scarcity, solid waste, urbanization and air pollution the documentary also tackles the solutions and actions to face those environmental challenges such as renewable energy, water treatment and harvesting, solid waste management and recycling and the results of those solutions not only on the environment, but also on the economy and society.
"I think all of us have responsibilities to look very seriously at the impacts of our actions on the environment. And if we don't, then the future of our children and grandchildren will be bleak," HRH Prince Hamza bin Al Hussein of Jordan said in the Eco-Cities documentary.
"The cost of environmental degradation in Jordan and in the Arab World is around 5% of the GDP, so once we reduce that through better environmental management, we improve our economy," according to HE Khaled Al Irani, Jordanian Minister of Environment.
"I believe eco-cities is a process rather than a product; it is a way of life. It is an approach that people need to change their lives and worldviews in order to make sure that harmony between nature, people and markets is taking place," says Dr Odeh Al-Jayyousi, IUCN West Asia/Middle East Regional Director.
According to the 25-minute documentary, Jordan's annual water supply is 900 MCM, while the demand is 1500 MCM. The majority of the deficit comes from the unsustainable groundwater use. "More than 65% of our water in Jordan is used for irrigation," says HE Khaled Al Irani, Jordanian Minister of Environment.
16 million people living in Cairo depend on the Nile. Yet its river basins are subject to untreated sewage and industrial effluence. "We are trying to save the quality of water of the Nile, but our main concern is industrial waste," says Dr Mawaheb Abul Azm, CEO Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency. Before 2001, 100 MCM of untreated industrial waste were dumped into the Nile each year according to governmental figures. However, inspections and enforcing environmental laws have stopped industries polluting the river.
According to the UNDP, 720 billion tons of urban solid waste are produced every year. Municipalities can spend as much as 30% of their budget on waste disposal. The film showcases the Azhar Park, in Cairo that has taken more than 10 years to transform it from a former rubbish dump into a 30 Hectare park.
The growing population has an insatiable hunger for energy, this leads to more fuel burning, and thus more CO2 emissions. And with the rising cost of fuel and its environmental impacts means alternative sources of energy are becoming more viable and necessary. "We have about 310 mega watts already connected to the national grid and we have a strategy to reach 20% by 2020 from renewable energy," says Abdel Rahman Salah El Din, Executive Chairman of New Renewable Energy Authority in Egypt.
"We import 96% of our energy from outside Jordan. Last year, the cost was about 2.6 billion USD. Renewable energy should be one of the major contributor for energy, it is going to be about 10% by 2020," says Malek Kabariti, President of the National Energy Research Center in Jordan.

CUTMR / Public Space / Claire Scherzinger
Claire Scherzinger is an artist based in Toronto, Ontario and holds a BFA from OCAD University. She has shown her work on multiple occasions in Toronto with an upcoming solo show at Mark Christopher Gallery in February 2014.
The primary concept of this project is drawing on two-dimensional and three-dimensional planes. I create pointillist drawings that show implausible structures and designs in space through translating the act of drawing on paper to primed pieces of wood and foam that have been cut into specific shapes. This dialogue between object and drawing is what I find fascinating since many of the designs produced during the periods of Russian Constructivism and Suprematism, the main inspirations for this project, were beautiful and yet illogical.
Come Up To My Room (CUTMR) Toronto's largest alternative design show enters a new decade with new initiatives and a diverse lineup of local and national talent: 25 installations, 60 artists, and 4000 visitors, all in under 4 days. Gladstone Managing Director of Art, Britt Welter-Nolan is joined by three new curatorial forces: Jaclyn Blumas, Robert Cram and Elise Hodson.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC chief operating officer Rachel Lewis was honoured today by the SportsBusiness Journal in the Class of 2013 Game Changers: Women in Sports Business.
Now in its third year, the Game Changers issue recognizes women who are having a major impact on sports business.
2011 Flashback: Getting to know Rachel Lewis
This year, the SportsBusiness Journal will hold their inaugural 2013 Game Changers Conference in New York, a one-day event which will focus on the multiple ways in which women intersect with sports. At the conclusion of the event, Lewis and her fellow 2013 honorees will be recognized.
After joining Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2003 as the director of stadium development and event management, Lewis would assume the role of chief operating officer in 2007. Since that time the Vancouver native has overseen the operations of the club alongside president Bob Lenarduzzi and the rest of Whitecaps FC's senior management team. Her numerous accomplishments with the club include playing a pivotal role in facilitating Whitecaps FC's successful bid for acceptance into Major League Soccer (MLS), the top tier of professional soccer in Canada and the United States. Vancouver Whitecaps FC are now currently in the midst of their third season in MLS.
Lewis' career in sports management began in 1999 when she was appointed sponsorship coordinator for the PGA Tour's Air Canada Championship (ACC). A year later, she became the ACC's tournament manager before becoming the tournament director in 2002. In 2003, she took on a new role as sponsorship manager for the BMO Financial Group LPGA Women's Open. Lewis has also volunteered her time to several organizations in the past few years. Currently she sits on the Gastown Business Improvement Association, is a member of the International Women's Forum and the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former New York City councilman will spend five years in prison for misdirecting hundreds of thousands of dollars for community projects to his girlfriend and family instead, a judge said Tuesday.
Larry Seabrook, 61, a Bronx Democrat, received a sentence that was less than the seven to nine years in prison that the government had requested but far more than the non-prison sentence that his lawyers said he deserved.
U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts said Seabrook "held himself above the law" and acted illegally as a result of his sense of "entitlement, arrogance, nepotism and greed." She also ordered him to pay $619,715 in restitution, including roughly $418,000 that he must forfeit. He was told to surrender by March 8.
Prior to the announcement of sentence, Seabrook told Batts he remained a "proud man" though he had accepted the jury's verdict. Though no longer a councilman, he said he would continue to fight for others.
The judge took Seabrook's achievements into consideration in deciding the sentence, but only minimally, saying "his qualities and accomplishments as a public official are vastly diminished" by his crimes.
Last summer, he was convicted of nine of 12 counts in a federal trial. The government presented evidence that Seabrook misdirected more than $2 million from 2002 through 2009 by channeling it to nonprofit organizations that he controlled but were not doing legitimate work.
Prosecutors said Seabrook paid more than $400,000 in salary and consulting fees over the seven-year span to his girlfriend, siblings and other relatives. They said the girlfriend took a salary even though she was unqualified to run a nonprofit.
The government also alleged at trial that Seabrook used a political club to launder public funds for personal use and evidence offered by prosecutors included a receipt that Seabrook submitted for reimbursement that had been doctored to boost the cost of a $7 bagel sandwich and a Snapple to $177.
After the sentence was announced, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara issued a statement calling Seabrook "a flagrant and a serial abuser of City Council discretionary funds in a far too familiar New York tale of corruption."
The conviction came a year after another jury deadlocked on fraud charges. At both trials, Seabrook, also a former state assemblyman and senator, vigorously denied any wrongdoing.
The case emerged from a wider probe into possible abuse of discretionary funds that the City Council sets aside for its members to use on community projects of their choice.

New images have surfaced of the HTC Pyramid, which is expected to be the first Android phone with a dual-core Snapdragon CPU by Qualcomm. The Pyramid codename first surfaced in a rumor report last month, where we said it was likely headed to T-Mobile in May.
Along with the leaked pictures were also some specs which included "Android 3.0, 1.2 GHz processor, 4.3-inch SuperLCD display with qHD resolution (960 x 540), 8 megapixel primary camera and 1.3 megapixel front-facing cameras, and 768MB of RAM". All of these specs match what we reported last month except for Android 3.0, which we expect to be a miscommunication. It is more likely the HTC Pyramid will launch with Android 2.3.
Qualcomm might end up having the fastest mobile CPU with their dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon (MSM8x60), but they have yet to release performance numbers and we have been unable to benchmark a device yet.
Sprint customers should also pay attention because the rumored EVO 3D might be very similar in hardware specs with the addition of a 3D display.
Several testers in the US already have access to the HTC Pyramid, so we expect an official announcement is coming soon. Hopefully we will learn more in a couple of weeks at CTIA in Orlando.

As with other crops, the news regarding where the rice market is headed isn't particularly appealing. The rice market continues to function under a lot of pressure.
"The futures market has continued to go down. November contracted at a low of $3.48 (in mid-October). Since then the market has bounced back up a tad. However, with the January contract now becoming the lead month, it appears the market is again headed back down to the same area it was before. The last few days haven't been good for anyone looking for a positive sign," says Gene Martin, senior market analyst for Arkansas Farm Bureau.
Martin says there isn't anything to suggest that over the next 10 months to a year growers will see any kind of substantial improvements in the market. "First of all, we're facing a projected carryover that's grown. I'm not sure of the exact number but there's a projected carryover of 40 million hundredweight compared to recent carryovers in the 20 million-plus hundredweight range."
According to USDA October rice productions estimates, this year's crop is 208.2 million hundredweight. The U.S. rice crop is harvested or close to finished, so that number should be close to final.
"Utilization is right at 200 million hundredweight. The domestic side will take 120 million hundredweight with exports around 86 million hundredweight. So we're using about as much rice as was projected, and we'll import some rice for specialty needs. That's why we'll see carryover going up some."
There's not any indication there will be any movement in the export market beyond the 86 million hundredweight projected, says Martin.
"As a matter of fact, I think the industry will have to scramble to reach that 86 million. With that being the case, there isn't much upside potential in the market."
Internationally, there are ample supplies of rice available. Martin says Vietnam moved a lot of its stock out and is out of the market for the time being. Thailand, India and Pakistan all have excess supplies weighing heavily on the international market.
"There was a little improvement in the adjusted world price for a couple of weeks. But on Nov. 6, I noticed the adjusted world price went back down. We're back to everyone being competitive in the export market."
Does Martin have any advice for rice farmers on how to approach the market?
"If a farmer has a bit of time he may want to use the loan and look for an opportunity to take a fairly good LDP. That's fairly substantial currently. Then they can wait for a little upturn in the market to capitalize on."
Farmers should stay close to the market and watch it with an eagle eye, says Martin. No one is going to hit a home run but at some point, "we will hit a bottom and an upturn will come. When that time arrives, farmers need to be positioned to take advantage."
"Other than that there just aren't a lot of recommendations to give. There may be some niche markets that need filling, but those will be pretty sparse. Overall, though, there isn't a whole lot farmers can do to get above the loan level for rice."
For the last four years, Martin has worried about speaking at the off-season meetings. He's been sharing bad news for too long.
"The harsh truth is that there just isn't a whole lot of bright news to share. Rice is at the lowest price levels — as are plenty of other crops — that they've been at in years and years. This has been another tough year for farmers and next year looks poor right now. Without new farm legislation to assure lenders where farmers stand, there may be a bunch of growers that can't get financing."

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea demanded on Thursday the release of its ship held in Panama with what appear to be missile radar and other weapons loaded in Cuba, saying it was sailing under a legitimate deal and calling the initial suspicion of drugs on board "a fiction."
"The Panamanian investigation authorities rashly attacked and detained the captain and crewmen of the ship on the plea of 'drug investigation' and searched its cargo but did not discover any drug," North Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"This cargo is nothing but aging weapons which are to send back to Cuba after overhauling them according to a legitimate contract," the spokesman was quoted as saying by the official KCNA news agency.
"The Panamanian authorities should take a step to let the apprehended crewmen and ship leave without delay."
Panamanian authorities seized the North Korean freighter and found what appeared to be components for Soviet-era missile radar system under sacks of brown sugar.
The ship was stopped last week as it headed into the Panama Canal and authorities arrested the crew on Monday after finding undeclared missile-shaped objects, a potential violation of U.N. sanctions linked to the North's nuclear and missile programs.
Panama said on Wednesday that it had asked the United Nations to determine the legality of the cargo.
Cuba, which has close diplomatic ties with North Korea, said the cargo contained "obsolete defensive weaponry" being sent back to North Korea for repairs and included anti-aircraft missile batteries, disassembled rockets and fighter jet parts.
Security experts said there was a possibility North Korea was trying to import the equipment and the explanation about repairing the items may be a disguise.
Britain's ambassador to the United Nations said the ship appears to have violated U.N. arms embargo on North Korea.
North Korea has been under wide-ranging sanctions under Security Council resolutions since 2006 that ban trade of most types of weapons after conducting missile and nuclear tests in defiance of international condemnation.
It tested a nuclear device for the third time in February that led to the adoption of the latest Security Council resolution that tightened the sanctions regime.

Song of Songs 5:8
Whomever your issue or argument is with, it is not with me.
I did not come here to spread strife but to address my Father�s Torah which you misrepresented, as well the nature of Shalumah�s sin or lawlessness as it related to MARRIAGE, not REVELATION.
I made no representatations otherwise, as stated: I was not aware of the interpretation you offered on Rev. and simply asked you for you source, thank you for providing it. If you are offended because I addressed mixing or using of pagan and Hebrew words... His name nor title is g-d... His is an assembly or congregation not the greek �church� or circus, from �circies�... l-rd is not His name or title but YHWH. l-rd g-d comes straight from Phoenicia and their deity of fortune �baal-gad�. And His Shabbat or Sabbath is the 6th day.

Song of Songs 5:9
�What is your Beloved more than another beloved that you so charge us?� � Song of Song 5:9. Her love for the Bridegroom is contagious. Her deep desire and seeking of Him inspires others to inquire about Him. If we have nothing but Him others will wonder who this One is that so motivates and compels us in such a desperate and lovingly way. What occupies our heart is displayed in our life to others! If Christ is supreme in us then others will see Him shine through us.

Song of Songs 5:10
When we speak concerning our Beloved Christ we reveal what is in our heart and what we have seen of Him. Is He a historical figure, a distant experience, or is what I am speaking of Him my current love relationship which burns in my heart? �My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand� � Song of Songs 5:10.

That way, those users who are interested in hearing what you want to share may PREVIEW your commentary HERE, and then of their own volition, visit YOUR OWN SITE to read through your fuller comments.
Otherwise, your constant long posts on this site are equivalent to forcing people to deal with all manner of technical problems that YOU are responsible for.

Isaiah 30:5
Zechariah 14:5 And therefore ,they did stand his feet, at day, this day ,above mountain this olives, which against faces (her Jerusalem) out of east, and therefore ,to cleave mountain the olives ,out of his half her east and also her west, valley great exceedingly ,then to depart, half this mountain her north,and his half her south. And (you did)ensign a flag:we will keep secret (split )valley of my mountain now touchs with the (great)valley of the mountains facing Azal = "proximity: he has reserved" and (you did)ensign a flag: we will keep secret ) as when (you did) flag a secret from out of before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Jehudah, and comes Jehovah my Elohim [and] all your saints with thee. 5127 flee does not match. 2LetterLookup - Ancient Lexicons for Greek... Hebrew... Aramaic look it up on google 2LetterLookup. first two letters come up as flag last two letters match suffix you did and the other possibility is the first letter is a Prefix we will and the last three letter translated to keep secret we will keep secret.And if it is secreted then maybe both apply. Zechariah 14 :6 and 9007shall come to pass 1961 in that 9004day 3117 this 9005 they 1931 not 3808 will exist 1961 illumination [of mind ] 2016 weighty prized precious, 3368 [ They will ] congeal, settle, become 7087 and 9007 be brought together. The two halfs of mount olives cross the Atlantic ocean the exceedingly great valley of mountains. Following the coordinates from mount olives 31 37 22 50 west you will be in Georgia then heading north you will be in Massachusets these are 13 colonies of Christian Zion . The mount olives is the people of God spread out in the land from South to North. And the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee the LORD my God shall come to America and all the saints with him. But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. Israel is 7 hours ahead of Boston, MA , sunset in Israel depending on the time of year is 7:00 PM thus night in isreal. At 12:00 pm in boston the sun is shining, the sun is shining at night because the Lord moved his people. Isaiah 49 Sing,O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.But Zion said,The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.Behold,I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.the children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

Song of Songs 1:4
Thank you Frank Pytel, your comment makes a lot of sense. If the Holy Spirit leads you to post more about spiritual elevation, please do so. I am studying Song of Solomon and I would like to learn more as I am curious about how Song of Solomon chapter 2 relates to the harpazo or the rapture mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18. Is the dove of Song of Solomon 6:9 the same as the Daughter of the King of Psalm 45:13? I would like to hear your feed back on this. Shalom.

Genesis 9:22
Genesis 9:22-23
�������� and he saw #7200 ����� ra'ah {raw-aw'}; Verb - Qal; to see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider
��� Ham #2526 ��� Cham {khawm}; Noun; Ham = "hot"
����� the father; #0001 ��� 'ab {avb}; Noun - Masculine; father of an individual, of God as father of his people, head or founder of a household, group, family, or clan, ancestor. However, here the noun is used in the 1 person common singular and it could be masc. or fem. So if this was directed at ���� Noach why use ����� (avi) instead of father the masculine ��� (av)? I suggest that this is the case because ������� Kena`an {ken-ah'-an} is in reference to a nation, people or country and wasn�t meant as a blemish on Ham pertaining to His 4th son. So, what we possibly see here is a prophetic passage concerning the line of Ham. If it were meant for ������� Kena`an, He would have been the one to look upon this metaphoric drunken state of his grandfather. But the passage tells us that his father ��� Cham looked and is suggested that he despised his father�s nudity. Then, when ���� Noach awoke he knew what the youngest son had done. How could ���� Noach have known when he was in an unconscious drunken condition? Only by divine inspiration could he have known of the act and then give his prophetic message of ������� Kena`an�s enslavement by his older brothers. This proposed rendition of the deeds that ensued is unlikely not found in what most commentaries will suggest. Most will conclude that ������� Kena`an is the one who viewed ���� Noach�s condition but when we look at the account, it distinctively conveys otherwise. ��� Cham, the youngest son has the bad character in this story not ������� Kena`an. However, this isn�t ������� Kena`an the villain man but ������� Kena`an the nation, land or peoples of his ancestry.

David is the witness: ASV 1901 { { Isaiah 55:4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not; and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel Deuteronomy 32:21 (song of Moses) They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. God told David 2 Samuel 7:10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first, Isaiah 62:1 � For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.62:2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name. 62:5 � For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. virgin land !

Hebrews 11:10
I was looking up the number of the date of the red heifer birth...12/17...born in the twelfth month in the Jewish calendar, and the 17th day. 1217. I think it said "builder, worker." Then referred me to Hebrews 11:10. Since the Jewish people are still awaiting their messiah,(they rejected Jesus), this verse could have implications to their rebuilding of the temple?

Song of Songs 4:4
There are two aspects of the shields which are hung upon the neck of the lover of Christ (S. of S. 4:4):
1) God is a shield, the shield is a Person (Gen. 15:1; Psa. 3:3)
2) The lover of Christ apprehends the shield by faith, or her faith in union with God is the shield (Eph. 6:16)
Faith comes by hearing the Word of Christ (Rom. 10:8, 17), which brings God into our experience as our shield. Our constant union and fellowship with the divine Beloved Christ through His living word and our living faith become many experiential shields which are displayed upon the renewed and transformed neck (will) of His lover bride. This is a bridal characteristic appreciated by our loving Bridegroom Christ!

Song of Songs 4:6
The lover/bride rises up to ascend the mountain and hill to gather more of the fragrant spices of her Beloved Christ found in holy elevations. It is here she is free from other influences. Beloved Christ, I want to walk the elevated life in the Spirit more completely that I would not fulfill the low cravings of my fallen nature (Gal. 5:16).

Song of Songs 4:7
When the Beloved Christ addresses his lover/bride as �My love�, he sees her as a person who is filled with his love. He is the source of her love and supplies her with his love, ever pouring out his love into her heart (Rom. 5:5)! Through many experiences of union and fellowship with the Beloved Christ, she is constituted with Him as love and His love has become her person. He tells her, you are �my love�.

After entering the garden of his delight, the Beloved Christ gathers his myrrh with his spice. �Myrrh� refers to the savor of death, while �spice� refers to the savor of life. His loving bride as his garden of delight is full of the sweet flavor of the death at Calvary, and the aromatic fragrance of the resurrection life!

Shalom, Chris! Thanks very kindly for posting this extremely helpful study. I had read that Newton, based on his deep studies of Scripture, believed Messiah's second coming will be around 2060. Considering the great brain power God blessed him with, and his devotion to God and the study of the Scriptures, I believe his writings are worthy of our prayerful consideration, and I'm grateful that they're becoming more accessible. Thanks again, and blessings!

Psalms 48:12
commentary: Psalm 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Mount Zion the city of the great King ,the city is the congregation of Jesus and he is the great king. "Just as we have heard, So, have we seen." They heard about it and they are seeing by vision prophetically describing a future nation in the earth. Psalms 48"THE KINGS They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away".These kings see this future nation. These same kings are spoken of in the book of psalms chapter 2 :"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.4He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.6Yet have I set my king on my holy hill of Zion.This is Jesus ruling from mount ZION in the heavens over this country on earth. Psalms 48" They heard about it and they are seeing by vision prophetically describing a future nation in the earth.Psalms 48:12 Walk about ZION and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.(The phrase go round about 5362 :THE MEANING IS: A primitive root; to strike with more or less violence : GO AROUND AND TELL OF HER STRICKEN TOWERS! 5] Isaiah30:25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.They are marking out this distant country letting them see who they are because this country does not know who they are.SEE THE KING JESUS IN THE DISTANT LAND: Psalm 48 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalm 48:12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof(THE STRICKEN TOWERS THEREOF !) Isaiah 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. 33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror.Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?THIS IS 911 THE TWIN TOWERS! ( God is talking to people the ones in the western days(last days) specifically reading this prophecy recorded in Isaiah 30, 31,and 33 a prophecy about towers crashing. In the second clause of Isaiah 33:18 where[is] the receiver?is in reference to Isaiah 30 This is the chapter that first describes the towers falling .In the verse 30:19 The verse indicates the receiver of the prophecy is Jerusalem in the middle east but in this clause they are questioning saying :where[is] the receiver? This is the verse that they have questioned .30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. Do you see? The second clause they say where[is] the receiver? that is to say, who is the receiver of prophecy of the towers crashing and of the third clause they say where is the prophet when he counted the towers falling.This is questioning whether the prophet was in Jerusalem in the middle east. Either they can not remember what they read or they question what they read. And they do question! These people can not be in the middle east for if it happened in the middle east there would be no question! These people are in the land that has had towers crash and that is why they question! And God replies to them:You shall not see a barbarous people, a people of a deep speech incomprehensible,of a stammering tongue which can't be understood. What you just read is in form a similitude meaning dont look around for someone else it is you! The implication is clear that the land that the towers crashed in is not in the middle east! the very next thing God says is :Envision Zion the city of our congregating, your eyes shall see Jerusalem a habitation at ease,a tent that will not remove, and they shall not ever travel(this is not the middle east !) THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) The congregation of CHRIST on the sides of the north. Isaiah 65:1 � I am inquired of by them that asked not [for me]; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. Deuteronomy 32:21: I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. BABYLON HAS HIS EYE ON THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA " I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north" Isaiah 14:For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:(THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

The satisfied Beloved invited His friends to eat and drink abundantly of His bridal garden. There are three aspects of friends in John 15:13-15 that correspond to the friends in Song of Songs 5:1:
1) Jesus laid down His life for His friends � friends love the crucified Christ, v.13
2) The friends of Jesus do what He speaks and commands � they practice His words � live in union with Him through His spoken words, v. 14
3) Jesus makes known His Father�s heart to His friends, v. 15
