Diggle illuminates "Shadowland"
|"Shadowland" #3 on sale now
In the Marvel Universe, Hell's Kitchen isn't just another neighborhood in New York City, it's where the costumed vigilante Daredevil declared martial law. The Man Without Fear issues such decrees from a medieval Japanese-style fortress called Shadowland, and uses a secret society of ninja assassins known as the Hand to enforce his will.
Sometimes though, Daredevil will himself deal with those who break the law in Hell's Kitchen, as demonstrated in issue #1 of "Shadowland" by writer Andy Diggle and artist Billy Tan. Daredevil punished his old foe Bullseye, and he did so with lethal force. It was an act that shocked many of his fellow superheroes, and in "Shadowland" #2, they paid a visit to their wayward friend Matt Murdock to try and steer him off his destructive path. Daredevil responded by declaring all-out war on his former allies.
CBR News spoke with Diggle about not just "Shadowland" but also his work on the ongoing "Daredevil" series, which features artwork by Roberto De La Torre and ties-in to "Shadowland," and which also comes to an end in November with issue #512.
Diggle kicked off his run with Daredevil failing to stop Bullseye from blowing up a tenement building full of people; an event which still haunts him to this day. "Daredevil is one of those characters who is always hammered by the bad guys, and in Ed Brubaker's run he was hammered hard," Diggle told CBR News. "He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. But in trying to deal with it, he becomes so driven and focused that he becomes almost selfish and stubborn about it. He has no patience for anything else. That almost egotistical single-mindedness is part of his dark side, and presents kind of the thin end of the wedge for how he's developed into 'Shadowland.'"
Readers of "Daredevil" and "Shadowland" know that it's not just unfortunate events that transformed Murdock into the ruthless and fanatical vigilante he now is. A secret cabal within the Hand called Snakeroot is also working to turn the Man Without Fear to the dark side, although exactly how they do so remains a mystery. "I'm aware that Matt is making some radical and very dangerous decisions. It seems on the surface to be out of character, but there's a specific reason for it," Diggle said. "That reason is one of the big revelations in 'Shadowland' #3."
Matt Murdock isn't the only character whose behavior is being influenced by the Snakeroot cabal. One of his chief lieutenants in the Hand, Angela Del Toro — AKA the costumed crime fighter White Tiger — is also under the thumb of Snakeroot. "When she got turned to the dark side in Ed Brubaker's run on 'Daredevil,' Black Tarantula [Daredevil's other chief lieutenant in the Hand] used his healing factor to bring her back to the good side, Diggle explained. "What he didn't realize was that his healing factor would wear off, and her evil Hand persona reassert itself. So she's become kind of a triple agent. Let's just say I have plans both for Carlos [La Muerto, the Black Tarantula] and Angela, which I don't want to spoil here. That is, of course, if they're still around once the story ends."
|Pages from "Shadowland" #3
Daredevil and the White Tiger's perspectives may be cloudy, but Black Tarantula is seeing the events of "Shadowland" with a clear head. Not that things are any easier for him. In "Shadowland" #2, the Tarantula expressed some doubts about the way Daredevil was going about his crusade, prompting Murdock to order him to attack a group of heroes. Now the Tarantula must decide whether to trust Daredevil or turn against him.
"In some ways Black Tarantula is the voice of reason, despite being a morally gray character. He used to be a bad guy and spent time in prison. Now he's trying to reform by helping out Daredevil, but he's not an angel by any means. He's just trying to do the right thing," Diggle explained. "I think many people would think, 'Yeah, killing Bullseye was the reasonable and sensible thing to do. Think of all the lives that could have been spared if Batman had only killed the Joker.' Then on the other hand you have some characters who think, 'No, murder is murder, and there's never any excuse in a civilized society.' The fact that there is no easy answer is kind of the point, and Black Tarantula can see both sides of the argument. He's spent time in prison with murderers and psychopaths and felt like Bullseye definitely had it coming. But that's clearly not the same thing as picking a fight with the Avengers. There's no ambiguity about whether or not Spider-Man is a good guy!"
In this week's "Shadowland" #3, Daredevil's war on crime is complicated by the arrival of another anti-crime crusader, Frank Castle — AKA The Punisher. "Frank is a guy who deals with what's right in front of him. He's not interested in the moral politics of what Matt Murdock is doing. The other characters are agonizing about the pros and cons of Matt's new direction, but Frank isn't the kind of character who agonizes about that stuff," Diggle said. "When he wades in in issue #3, it's not because he's taking sides. It's because he's responding to a very immediate clear and present danger, and he does so in his own inimitable style. It's actually quite fun having a character like Frank Castle around when these other characters are so conflicted about the decisions Matt is making. You can just have Frank step in and say, 'You know what? Just shoot the guy!'"
Another player in the "Shadowland" game is Matt Murdock's old flame, Elektra, who appears in this week's "Shadowland" #3 and in the "Shadowland: Elektra" one-shot by Zeb Wells and Emma Rios. "She starts to play much more of a role in 'Shadowland' from issue #3 onwards," Diggle confirmed. "We've already seen her working with Izo, the blind ninja master who wants to reform the Hand. So it's not spoiling things too much to reveal that she goes to Matt and tries to infiltrate the Hand by claiming that she wants to join them, which doesn't seem unreasonable given her history."
|Pages from "Shadowland" #3
So far, the action in "Shadowland" has taken place in and around Daredevil's fortress, but starting with issue #3, the scope of the story will escalate as things explode outward. "The thing that's turning Matt to the dark side starts turning everybody else to the dark side as well," Diggle said. "Things are going to start to get quite explosive in Hell's Kitchen. The population starts turning on itself. A malevolent force is radiating out from 'Shadowland' it's spreading. It's not just about one man anymore. It becomes something everybody else gets swept up in."
Another malevolent force that's been wreaking havoc in "Shadowland" is Daredevil's old foe Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime. "All throughout my 'Daredevil' run, Fisk has been very deliberate about staying under the radar. He wants people to think that he's a spent force — and of course he isn't. He's playing a long, patient game," Diggle said. "Occasionally he'll step out of the shadows, topple a domino and watch the ripple effect spread out across the rest of the story. He's not getting directly involved, not putting himself in the line of fire. He's using other characters to do his dirty work for him, sometimes without their knowledge or consent. For example, he's the one who sends Ghost Rider into Shadowland. It's all with a very specific goal in mind, which will come to a head in 'Shadowland' #5."
While Diggle is chronicling the main action of the "Shadowland" event in the eponymous miniseries, he and co-writer Antony Johnston are showing the story from another point of view in tie-in arc of "Daredevil." "Antony has really helped me raise my game. We decided that if 'Shadowland' itself is very much about the costumed superheroes, then we were going to make 'Daredevil' itself a parallel story featuring the more grounded, down-to-Earth, regular human characters like Foggy Nelson, Dakota North and Detective Kurtz," Diggle explained. "The idea being that you could read either story on its own and it still will make sense, but if you read both titles then hopefully it adds up to more than the sum of its parts. That keeps everything more grounded and a bit more self-contained, which I think 'Daredevil' readers like. They like the fact that the 'Daredevil' title has been fairly insular and not overly connected to the rest of the Marvel Universe. That grounded feeling means we can keep the story in 'Daredevil' dark, gritty, and urban rather than overly superheroic. Tonally, I think that works nicely. We just need to make sure that 'Daredevil' readers get enough of the big picture story to keep everything making sense from one issue to the next, because inevitably there will be stuff that happens in the other title that will be important. We need to make sure everything ties up."
Diggle has been writing comics for almost a decade now, but "Shadowland" is his first big superhero crossover event, and working on the project has required him to learn a new set of skills. "It's a challenge for me because I've always liked writing very short, self-contained stories. I'm not the kind of writer who tends to do a lot of ongoing runs. I'm much happier doing mini-series and short run books. I kind of pride myself on trying to make my stories very tight and self-contained, where everything connects and there are no loose ends. But when you're writing a crossover story, you want to introduce loose ends because those are the threads that other writers will follow in their spin-off titles and one-shots," Diggle stated. "So writing this has required me to approach storytelling in completely the opposite way to what comes naturally to me. It's been an interesting challenge."
Diggle ties-up the loose ends of "Shadowland" in November with issue #5 and "Daredevil" #512, which has been solicited as the final issue of the series. "A few weeks ago Marvel put out these 'Who is the new Man Without Fear?' teasers that featured various characters, and the fans kind of shrugged them off," said Diggle. "Then the solicitation for 'Daredevil" #512 hit saying it was the final issue of the series, and suddenly everyone lost their minds. It was like, 'What's happening? They're killing off Matt Murdock! They're raping my childhood! And I'm like, 'Everybody take a deep breath and relax. We know what we're doing. We're respecting the character that you love."
"Shadowland" #5 and "Daredevil" #512 aren't the end of Diggle's work with the Man Without Fear, they're just the end of the first act of a larger story the writer has planned to conclude with the recently announced "Daredevil Reborn" miniseries in January 2011. "I'm not done with Daredevil. I get to finish this story the way I originally pitched it, regardless of what the title on the front cover says," Diggle said. "And I get to work with artist Davide Gianfelice, who is absolutely fantastic. When I saw his work in the first book of 'Northlanders' it just completely blew me away. I'm really excited to be working with him."

Darren Ferguson is favourite for the job at Preston North End.
The Daily Mail says Preston want Ferguson to take charge at Deepdale after sacking Alan Irvine in a row over selling players.
The Scot's failure to turn around a run of poor results had put him under pressure before he clashed with the board over next month's transfer policy.
Preston's directors wanted Irvine to sell players to help balance the books but he feared weakening the squad would leave the club in a relegation battle.

When I was a little kid I used to take a pair of dice and throw these dice repeatedly. At each throw I'd fill in a box for the corresponding number on some graph paper and I would essentially "race" the numbers against each other. I suppose for that reason I've always been fascinated not just by probabilities, but in the convergence of repeated trials to the limiting "probabilities." Which explains not just why I'm an uber geekazoid, but also why I was quite shocked today when I Googled "gambler's ruin" and found that the intertubes only returned about 16000 hits ("card counting," by the way, returns about 845,000 hits.) Gambler's ruin is one of my favorite basic probability exercises (and a reason why many a poor soul, even if they have an advantage, ends up losing their money.)
What is gamber's ruin? Suppose you have access to a game in which you have a slight advantage in winning. We codify this advantage by postulating that you win the game a certain percent of the time which we call p (having an advantage means p is greater than a half.) In this game, you can bet a dollar on each run of the game and if you win you get another dollar. If you lose, well, of course you lose your dollar. Now starting with a bankroll of D dollars, you might be interested in figuring out what the probability is that you will run out of money before your bankroll expands to T dollars. In other words, what is your probability of ruin, given a starting bankroll of D dollars, an advantage of p, and a target of T dollars?
The way to calculate this is kind of cute. We want to calculate Pr(Ruin starting with x dollars). But this is equal to the probability of winning the first game times the probability of ruin starting with x+1 dollars plus the probability of losing the first game times the probability of ruin starting with x-1 dollars. In other words Pr(Ruin starting with x dollars) =Pr(Ruin starting with x+1 dollars|won first game) Pr(won first game) + Pr(Ruin starting with x-1 dollars|lost first game) Pr(lost first game). To simplify notation let Pr(Ruin starting with x dollars) be denoted by P(x). Then we can express the above equation as P(x)=P(x+1) Pr(won first game) + P(x-1) Pr(lost first game). But we know the probabilities of winning and losing that first and last game (it just p and 1-p respectivally.) Thus we have P(x)=p P(x+1) + (1-p) P(x-1).
Note that P(0)=1 (since if we start with no money we always end up ruined) and P(T)=0 (since if have our target amount of money then we are never ruined.) The equation P(x)=pP(x+1)+(1-p)P(x-1) is a difference equation, and as such there are a couple of ways to solve this equation. We will choose the method which is the bane of students everywhere: the method of judicious guessing. In particular suppose that P(x)=k^x for some unknown k. Then if this solves the difference equation we must have k^x = p k^{x+1} +(1-p) k^{x-1}. Canceling out some k's allows one to write this as k=p k^2 +(1-p). This quadratic equation has two solutions for k: k_+ = 1 and k_- = (1-p)/p (we will assume that p does not equal one half, i.e. someone has an advantage in the game.) Call this later solution k=k_-=(1-p)/p. From this we can guess that a generic solution to the difference equation is P(x)= A 1^x + B k^x for some yet to be determined A and B. Recalling that P(0)=1, we obtain A+B=1 and further using P(T)=0 we obtain A +B (k_-)^T = 0. Thus B=1/(1-k^T) and A= -k^T /(1-k^T). Putting this all together we obtain that P(x)=[-k^T+k^x] /[1-k^T]. Since we start with D dollars, the formula for gambler's ruin is thus P(D)=[k^D – k^T]/[1-k^T].
It's useful to try some sample values in the formula to get an idea of what it is telling you. Suppose that your goal is to double your money, i.e. T=2D. Then a handy table to assemble is to figure out your probability of ruin given your advantage and the size of your bankroll:
|D \ p
|1.927 x 10-9
|2.460 x 10-18
|2.059 x 10-9
|4.226 x 10-18
|7.077 x 10-88
|8.105 x 10-177
From this table you can conclude a few things. Even if you have, a fairly considerable advantage, say p=0.55, if you start with 10 dollars you will be ruined before reaching 20 dollars with about 11.8 percent probability. As a gambler this really means that you need to pay attention to not just your odds of winning, but also to your bankroll: betting a substantial portion of your bankroll is a good way to go broke even when you've got a considerable advantage!
Suppose that you want a chance of ruin which is one in a thousand. What size bankroll should you use given an advantage p an a desire for an unlimited upside? A rough quick way to calculate this, given you have an advantage p is to calculate 7p/(2p-1). So if p=0.51, then this is about 178 (the real number is 172.)
Even more humbling is to use the above formula for gambler's ruin when you are at a disadvantage. For example if you win 49 percent of the time, and want to double your initial 100 dollars, the probability of ruin is 98.2 percent. Thinking about this you might realize why casinos make such good money even with games whose odds are only slightly stacked in their favor.

Cameron speaks to Obama as world leaders discuss Ukraine
Prime Minister David Cameron has spoken to Barack Obama as the US leader made a new round of phone calls over Ukraine.
Downing Street said the two leaders agreed Russia should resolve the current crisis diplomatically.
President Obama also spoke with French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
He welcomed the strong, unified stance of the European Union over Russian military intervention in Crimea.
All leaders agreed on a need for Russia to withdraw its forces from the region.
"The leaders reiterated their grave concern over Russia's clear violation of international law and reaffirmed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," a White House summary of the phone calls said.
'Diplomatic path'
Downing Street confirmed the Prime Minister and President Obama agreed there was still an opportunity for Russia and its President Vladimir Putin to "resolve the situation diplomatically" by engaging in direct talks with the Ukrainians, returning Russian troops to their bases in Crimea and working with the rest of the international community to support free and fair elections in Ukraine in May.
In a statement, Mr Cameron's office said: "We should all work together to persuade President Putin to choose this diplomatic path out of the crisis.
"Both the Prime Minister and the President firmly believe the proposed referendum in Crimea would be illegal and any attempt to legitimise it would result in further consequences for Russia."
Russia effectively took control of Crimea - where its Black Sea Fleet is based - more than a week ago.
Crimea's pro-Russian leadership has set a date of 16 March for a referendum on joining Russia.
President Obama also held a conference call about the situation with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite, Latvian President Andris Berzins, and Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves.
The White House said the leaders also agreed the referendum later this month will be a "violation of Ukraine's constitution", adding that all future decisions about the country should involve the government in Kiev.
David Cameron also held a separate call on the situation with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Downing Street said the two men discussed the need for the International Monetary Fund to lead on a package of financial assistance to the Ukrainian government to help provide economic stability.

US, Japan agree on rise in auto exports to US
Japanese and US officials Tuesday agreed on a 1.85-million-unit ceiling on Japanese auto exports to the United States beginning in April 1984 in a compromise
reached eight days before President
Reagan's state visit.
The agreement, which extends a three-year
voluntary curb already in effect, raises the number of autos to be exported to the US by 170,000 units for the year.
US automakers were expected to react favorably to the new limit. There had been concern the Japanese might refuse any renewal.
Meanwhile in Washington, an overwhelming majority of the Senate urged US negotiators to insist that Japan dismantle all trade barriers to imported beef.

At exactly 5:48pm this afternoon I shoveled the last spoonful of Marshmallow Matey's {the funemployed girls Lucky Charms…with twice as many marshmallows!} into my mouth, jumped from the couch and grabbed whatever run clothes I could find. I was going running and I only had 12 minutes to get my act together! Earlier in the day I'd talked myself out of Wednesday's group work – I ran this morning and had a race on Thursday morning. Plus it was hot out and the couch was comfy. Then I remembered we were demoing Adidas shoes at Boulder Running Company tonight so out the door I went! …my motivators of the run……breakfast at 5:30pm & Adidas ADIOS – world record breaking shoes…. The closer I got to BRC the crazier the traffic got. Not normal at all…maybe there was an accident?! When … [Click Here For the Full Story]

I had high hopes for the weather today…it was a gorgeous weekend, why would that change on Monday? Well, it would change because it is Colorado and after spending an entire winter begging for snow we are now getting it. In the few hours between 10am and 6pm the weather changed from 57 and sunny to 23 and snowing. Sounds like a great night for a group run, right? …this was at 5:30pm, add about 3 more inches as of 11pm… Thankfully Denver is full of crazies who won't let a little snow and wind stop them! We had a great turnout at Boulder Running Company for the #BostonStrong run – far more than I expected, even with the FB RSVP's! Thank you to everyone who came out!

I have been writing this post for a few hours – in my head, on paper and finally in Live Writer. I can't get my words to say what I need them to. I'm angry. Irrationally so. Its kind of scary. With every other US tragedy I've just naturally detached myself from the entire situation. I couldn't tell you anything about my thoughts/feelings in the days after the Twin Towers went down, I don't know where I was when I heard about the Virginia Tech shooting, I have no idea how I heard about the Aurora theatre shooting and I couldn't tell you what I was feeling when I read about the CT school shooting. Its not that I don't care – I really do care. I just acknowledge it, talk about it a bit, conclude that some people just … [Click Here For the Full Story]
I had this post started last week. I had grand plans to post it last Monday…but then life happened. Rather than spending the week going about our usual work schedules, skipping out on Thanksgiving traditions and heading up into the mountains for snowboarding we made an unscheduled trip back to Wisconsin. But for all the wrong reasons. While we were able to be home for Thanksgiving it wasn't for happy reasons. We made the 17 hour drive to spend time with family and to share stories about and memories of Chris's grandmother who passed away last week. In short, it kind of sucked. At least the premise behind our visit sucked. However, we were able to spend a few days with family we don't get to see very often. For example, we got to meet my nephew for the first … [Click Here For the Full Story]
I haven't spent much time talking about running…partly because I haven't been doing much running. Life has been happening. A lot of life. And unfortunately, even with fancy new shoes to motivate me, running has been pushed aside. At least a little bit. The exciting part of running hasn't been happening, although a few miles have magically appeared. One of those magical miles just so happened to be speedy fast. Last Wednesday I managed to scamper away from work just long enough to head out for a group run with Boulder Running Company. I have been able to get to their early morning boot camps pretty consistently but have been missing out on Wednesday night's speed work. Of course the day I finally manage to show put they decide to do a time trial! However…I managed to hold back my … [Click Here For the Full Story]

text: Ok 1:00 am here, night before the launch and as promised, here is my site. http://thecommissionpayload.com This is my last push to get it back up in the top 10. Since only 3 people here actually gave me advice and I am so far down the rankings now I see no harm of turning loose the name. I am still making post and for the first time, bought about 15 articles that should be coming in shortly, that I will post on the site as well. I know many people here are in this one and many people have noticed that this one was mine. So as this is a training site and my very 1st, please point out what i have been doing wrong so i will not make the same mistakes if I do decide to do another. I will try to stay up 3 days straight and try to get my 1 sell goal. I have some adderall left so staying up should not be a problem. After this I have more reasons to go back to the doctor lol. Numb fingers and out of drugs. Dam I guess that is all part of old age, turning 35 is starting to take its toll i guess. well anyway check out my site and point out everything that is wrong. I really would like to know what I have done wrong. Did I not work hard enough? Did I do to much to fast? My site looks like crap? Not enough back links? Google just plainly hates me? message me if you do not want to post but I need learn my mistakes, it might ease my pain and frustration. http://thecommissionpayload.com Let me know if some of you have trouble viewing the site as from what i found older versions of fire-fox and internet explorer looks all screwed up, but it shows most of my traffic that is coming is using updated firefox. I could not find a way to make it 100% in all browsers.

Silver and Bronze Anvil Awards FAQ
Q. What programs are eligible for entry into the Anvil Awards?
Silver Anvil honors complete strategic public relations programs and Bronze Anvil is for tactics within public relations programs.
At least some part of the program must have occurred in the prior calendar year.
Programs have a better chance of winning near their completion, when evaluation against initial objectives can be measured.
Q. I'm confused about which category to enter. There seem to be several into which mine might fit. Can you help?
Sometimes there indeed are two or more different categories into which an entry might fit. For example, many Silver Anvil entries that fit in Special Events could also fit in another category. Entrants must select a single category per entry. However, entrants may choose to enter their program in more than one category, provided that it applies to the specific criteria stated within that category.
Q. Will my entry be disqualified if it is entered into the wrong category?
While our judges can disqualify any entry that does not fit in the category entered, this is a rare action and taken only when an entrant has blatantly disregarded the category description.
In selecting your category, examine your strategic plan. What was the audience? What were the objectives? These are questions you are required to answer in the Silver Anvil two-page summary that is the central component of the entry. The answers to these questions should help guide you in selecting the right category fit, after you've carefully read the descriptions. As long as you utilize such a reasoned approach to selecting your category, it's highly unlikely that our judging teams would make a determination that you had broken the rules and disqualify your entry.
One other thing to make sure category choice is the right one is to compare your Silver Anvil two-page summary to those of winning Silver Anvil entries in the category for the past few years. Click here to view the two-page summaries of past Silver Anvil winning programs. Does your entry seem to have the same fit in the category as past winners?
Q. Can you tell me how many entries fall in the different categories?
No. We do not reveal the number of entries in any category or subcategory. You should select the category or categories you feel best fit the entry without trying to guess what the competition in a particular one might be. Besides, the number of entries in each category varies from year to year, so any attempt to guess is probably fruitless anyway.
Q. The Silver Anvil rules ask for budgetary disclosure, but my client insists on confidentiality. What do I do?
Judges are aware and instructed that they should not base their entire evaluation on the inclusion or exclusion of budgetary information. However, budget should be included, if possible, as it is an integral part of any public relations program. We suggest that you speak in broader terms on how the budget was applied to the program. If you cannot give exact figures, give percentages or fractions. Exclusion of budgetary information will not disqualify the entry, but the budget must be addressed in some manner.
Q. Where and when are the Silver Anvil Awards presented?
The Silver Anvil finalists are posted online in late March after the judging, and the Awards are presented in June in New York City at the Silver Anvil Ceremony. Silver Anvil winners and Silver Anvil Award of Excellence winners are then posted on our website.
Q. Is there a Bronze Anvil Ceremony?
No. The Bronze Anvil winners and Bronze Anvil Award of Commendation winners are announced in the Silver Anvil Ceremony printed program. They are then posted to our website. If you are a Bronze Anvil winner or Bronze Anvil Award of Commendation winner, PRSA will contact you thereafter to confirm the inscription for your trophy. Once all confirmations have been received, your trophy will be inscribed and shipped to you.
Q. What are the judges looking for in terms of measurement of a program's success?
PRSA endorses the Barcelona Principles, which are intended to encourage best practices for measuring public relations and communications programs.
As judges evaluate Silver Anvil Award entries, we ask that they consider the related guidelines developed by the International Association for Measurement and Evaluation of Communication (AMEC), which reflect the Barcelona Principles.
PRSA is working to support and encourage more rigorous measurement of public relations, and believes that in time, the principles reflected in these guidelines will become more prevalent and widely embraced as they are considered for programs like the PRSA Silver Anvils.
To facilitate measurement, programs should:
- Have Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely (SMART) objectives.
- Demonstrate how your public relations team made a tangible contribution to the organization through the program's objectives.
- Demonstrate the impact of the program on the target audience.
- Show a link between your activity and your or your client's business or organizational goals, and specifically demonstrate impact on business outcomes.
- Not confuse the value of Advertising Value Equivalencies (AVEs) with the overall value of the public relations program.¹
¹ In line with AMEC's commitment to the Barcelona Principles framework, the use of AVEs as the "value of earned media" will be considered very unfavorably by the judges. The consideration of AVEs as a value or benefit is simply wrong.

It is tiring to see embedded hardware makers provide a development environment that only works on a specific platform. It is understandable if Windows software can only be developed on Windows, or Mac software on a Macintosh. I wouldn't advocate it, but I understand it. On the other hand, embedded devices rarely host the dev environment. You could develop Android software using the Android Scripting Environment, but that isn't a common practice. Most probably, you'll be on a big computer. With a big keyboard, and a bigger monitor. In that case, why limit yourself to one environment? Every platform wants developers, and it isn't hard to support at least Windows, Mac and Linux.
Parallax lost out to Arduino, even though Arduino initially could not match all the functionality of a Parallax board. The Arduino board is easy to hack in Linux and Mac, and there are lots of developers with Linux or Mac as a primary computer. Now, partly because of these Mac and Linux hackers, Arduino has a crazy momentum: the number of hardware and software add-ons is mind-boggling.
Something similar is happening with Android. I see much more momentum around Android hacking. Here is a sample:
- Serial port on an Android G1 device.
- Using a Wii controller to play games on Android.
- USB Host mode on a Nexus One.
On that last video, notice how Sven, the person giving the demo, is using Linux?
I thought I'd spend some time learning how to program a Nintendo DS, or Nintendo WII, using the variety of tools that people have written in their spare time. These tools don't always work, and they don't always work well. Nintendo is selective about who should be allowed to program their devices, and will not support these tools. In fact, they'll go out of their way to ensure that you can't program their devices. After some time of struggling with it, I figured it was futile. The tools and dev kits of free environments is so much better. It is a lot more fun to program Arduino or Android instead of a Nintendo device. You don't have to struggle with random library versions, you can make your software available to others, and more importantly, you aren't treated as a criminal. So with that, my DS was quickly sold, my Wii will be given away, and I'm back to devices that I am welcome to program.

Trail of Cthulhu: Eternal Lies
Testament of the Dripping Mouths' Emanates
Whereas the details are somewhat unclear, this horrific blasphemous text was found in the Pasadena mansion of Samson Trammel and appears to be a decade long testament of his observations, ravings and experiences with a variety of entities and foul secrets. The only reason this item has not been burned so that no other individual would come into contact with it is because important clues are still needed from it.
Bethany Tibedeaux had the dubious honor of being the first person to read this bizarre text. While a threat to her very stability, she did uncover a number of important clues:
- Trammel believed that the Gol-Gorath angle was a hoax, perpetrated by Echavarria, for some unknown reason, as a smokescreen to fool most cult members.
- Trammel claims that Nyarlathotep was the true patron of the cult and that Nyralathotep had come to him, declaring Trammel to be the new cult leader.
- Correspondence from a mysterious 'S.S.' from an address in Bangkok suggested that S.S. was an equal of Trammel's in the cult and that Trammel and his followers should come to Bangkok and participate in their fights. The location to get to the fights involved some kind of orchid shop with the code words: I'm looking for the Fights.
- Correspondence from someone in Malta, suggesting that an agent there, Montgomery Donovan, was overseeing Nectar production. This production seemed to be tripled overnight due to certain sacrifices that were made due to activities that seemed 'pleasing to the Most Holy of Orifices.'
- Correspondence from someone in Mexico City that discusses how the Mouth can be used in song. Speculation, by someone with the initials 'J.B.' wanted to spend more time and money investigating the possibility of sound recording. However, Trammel seemed quite dubious of this possibility and both seemed increasingly fed up with one another.

C&W Industrial Research MarketNote: Oil or Natural Gas…Is the Landscape Gradually Changing for the Trucking Industry?
In the last four years, the natural gas shale drilling boom has produced a glut of inexpensive fuel, leading producers to argue that the commercial transportation industry should shift from its dependence on imported oil to domestically produced natural gas. While the near-term costs and infrastructure challenges are impediments to natural gas adoption, the long-term benefits to the transportation industry may make it a reality.

The 4,000-square-foot luxury home that has spent days teetering on the verge of collapsing into a Texas lake was set ablaze this morning after an attempt to pull the house back to solid ground failed.
A crew set the home on fire after the property was prepared last night.
"Yeah, it's a trying time, certainly," the homeowner, Rob Webb, told ABC's Dallas affiliate WFAA.
Officials decided to demolish the home after first trying to pull the home back to stable ground with cables. The crew planned to start in the attic and hoped the home burns inward, Tom Hemrick, the emergency management coordinator for Hill County, told WFAA.
The Hill County Sheriff's Office will be providing security around the fire, and local fire departments are standing by to ensure everything goes safely. Webb says he will be responsible for the cost of today's demolition. Though the home, which Webb purchased with his retirement savings is insured, Webb says his policy does not cover earth movement.
Webb has been in Florida dealing with a personal issue, according to WFAA, and watching from afar as pictures of his vacation home on Lake Whitney near Fort Worth, Tex., go viral.
The home, which Webb purchased in 2012 and is appraised at $700,000, has been dangling about 75 feet above the lake's shoreline since Tuesday, when neighbors said they first heard sounds that reminded them of an earthquake.
"I immediately thought it was an earthquake or blasting; it was loud, really loud," neighbor Connie Ash told WFAA. "And then I saw smoke, dust, water...it was a huge cloud of stuff."
Sheriff officials told WFAA the home was condemned one year ago after officials observed a crack in a nearby cliff. Webb and his family were told to evacuate two weeks ago.
A sign reading "EXTREME DANGER, STAY OFF PREMISES" has stood in the home's front yard since Tuesday.
"It's like, 'Is that really my home? Or is that something else that you're watching on TV,'" Webb told WFAA of seeing images of his home on the news and online. "And then you're like, 'Good grief, that is my home.'"

The BIOS would recognize neither the disks nor the two optical disks. The 2 IDE disks were on primary connector and the opticals on secondary. I switched the cables around, I switched connectors. At one point in time, the two optical disks were rwcognized but not the ide disks.
I tested the system disk alone with each cable and each ide connector in succession. No dice. Not recognized.
I then connected the system disk to a second similar pc (it has the same model motherboard) as slave. It was recognized on the 2nd pc. I then launched an antivirus on it but I didn't go all the way through (too lengthy). I was also successful in booting the system disk of the 1st pc on the second pc.
I then went back to the first pc and connected the system disk all by itself. It was recognized and I managed to boot successfully after having gone through safe mode first.
When I connected the second ide disk as slave alongside it, it didn't recognize any one of them! When I disconnected the slave, the system disk worked okay.
It's not a jumper problem, I've checked that closely. They are Western Digital disks and jumper setups are clearly shown.
Another interesting item: when I succeeded in booting with the system disk alone on the 2nd pc, at some point in time, the system froze. This could be linked to the mouse. My friend bought a new one and connected it with an improper driver.
I didn't have a chance to go any further.
Would a virus be responsible for the BIOS not recognizing the two disks connected at the same time?

Get a toothbrush and work some bleach into the stain. Try to be gentle, just gently rub the brush over the area of the white desk that has been stained. You just want to try to rub the bleach into the stain to take over the color. Put vinegar and some baking soda on the stain. This will produce a foaming action that is found in a lot of cleaners. The hope is that the foaming action will lift up some of the stain and all of your worries will go away.
In choosing an elegant wood writing desk for your home, what should you look at first? The price? The practicality /functionality? Or how stylish it is? It really depends on what you want and need. However, whether it is more for practical purposes or otherwise, the principle of choosing the sturdiest and most quality desk applies to both situations. Settling for an extremely ornate wooden desk with unsure quality would be damaging in the long run. Not only would you probably have to pay more, it would also be an eyesore to your home. Ask advice from people knowledgeable about furniture - they may know of furniture brands with good quality.

Analytics gurus hate midrange jumpers, thinking them to be the most inefficient shots in the NBA.
They won't be able to use Blake Griffin's performance Wednesday to bolster their case.
Continually nudged toward the perimeter by a trapping defense, the Clippers forward made eight of 12 shots from at least 16 feet against the Charlotte Bobcats, continuing a seasonlong uptick in his midrange accuracy.
He is shooting 38.2% on shots from 15-19 feet, a considerable improvement over the 33.5% of shots he made from the same distance last season. Griffin is even better from 20-24 feet, making 43.1% of his shots as opposed to 34.2% from that distance last season.
"It's an area that I'm working on," Griffin said Thursday of his midrange game, "but not the final frontier" to becoming a complete offensive player.
Griffin credited his work with shooting coach Bob Thate and constant repetition. He's also making a career-high 69.7% of his free throws, a number that he said he wants to push into the mid- to upper-70s by the end of the season.
Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said Griffin has avoided lulls in offensive production by varying his approach. Some nights he scores primarily in the post and other nights he mixes in transition baskets and jump shots.
Griffin turned into primarily a jump shooter against the Bobcats, Rivers said, because they repeatedly trapped him with multiple defenders to deny him shots around the basket.
"They clearly decided [Wednesday] night that they were going to use D.J.'s [DeAndre Jordan's] guy to trap Blake front and back and take his post game away," Rivers said. "He still ended up with [31] points, so that's a good sign for him and our team."
Griffin made 14 of 20 shots overall during the Clippers' 27-point victory. He even mixed in a three-pointer in the fourth quarter, giving him seven for the season — two more than he made all of last season.
"It's not something I look toward," Griffin said of his three-point shooting. "If it's open and it's there, I'll take it, but mostly corner threes. But it's still not a shot I go into the game planning on or spending much time thinking about."
Rookie swingman Reggie Bullock, who has not played since Dec. 7, recently tweaked his sprained right ankle in practice, Rivers said, but remained "close" to returning. "Mentally, that's hard, you know, when you're almost healthy and you tweak it just a little bit," Rivers said. "That's all you need mentally to think, 'I'm not ready.' So it will be interesting to see" how Bullock responds. … Reserve guard Maalik Wayns continues to limp in practice more than two months after undergoing surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, Rivers said, meaning he's not ready to play in games even though he's been activated. "Eventually he'll get on the floor," Rivers said. "But honestly, we're just trying to get him healthy right now."

New York Giants: How FB Henry Hynoski's Injury Affects the OffenseMay 24, 2013
On Wednesday, May 22, New York Giants fullback Henry Hynoski was carted off the field after suffering a knee injury during the team's very first practice of organized team activities. A day later, after an MRI examination, Hynoski's injury was clarified as a torn MCL and a "chip to the lateral plateau of his tibia," according to Mike Garafolo of USA Today.
Hynoski will need to undergo corrective surgery on his damaged knee, but he has set a goal to return in time for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 8. Doctors have told Hynoski that his goal is "not an unrealistic" one, according to Garafolo's report.
However, injuries like these, suffered in the late spring to early summer, are often lingering when the season begins in the fall, and the effects are still felt when the team is pushing for a playoff spot as the temperature plummets in the early winter. See wide receiver Hakeem Nicks' broken foot, which he suffered during last year's OTAs, and the domino effect it had on the entire season. Even if Hynoski is ready to go by Week 1, the former undrafted free agent will be resting and recovering during most of training camp and the preseason.
In two seasons' time, Hynoski has become a fan-favorite, always making the most of a few sparse receptions when he isn't bowling over linebackers. In Week 17, during a blowout victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Hynoski stole the show by paying tribute to his nickname—the Hynoceros—after scoring the only touchdown of his career.
During his rookie season (2011), Hynoski earned the role of starting fullback, but the early-going wasn't pretty for the young blocking back. The Giants posted the league's worst rushing attack, averaging a meager 3.5 yards per attempt. Hynoski injured his neck during the middle of the season, missing action in Weeks 6 through 10, but ultimately earned Super Bowl champion experience by the season's end.
The Giants found consistency at fullback during Hynoski's sophomore season (2012), as the former Pitt Panther played in all 16 games of the season. Behind an offensive line that none would describe as imposing, Hynoski became an effective lead-blocker, allowing the New York running backs to rush for over 1,800 yards. The team averaged 4.6 yards per carry in 2012, the seventh-best rate in the league.
Although Hynoski's job isn't glorious, he has gotten the recognition he deserves for his hard work. In January, USA Football named Hynoski to its 2012 All-Fundamentals team, which honors players "[not] based on statistics and athleticism but because they embody the most essential part of the game…fundamentals," according to the organization's website.
Although Hynoski's presence is not a prerequisite for the Giants' offensive success, he has played a pivotal part in turning around the team's once-floundering rushing game. Quarterback Eli Manning has proven that he can accomplish a lot with his arm, but he can't bulldoze a blitzing linebacker to clear an open running lane. The recent departure of veteran Ahmad Bradshaw doesn't ease the pain either. With a cast of young, largely untested backs set to carry the load, the Giants need Hynoski's services now more than ever.
In today's NFL, traditional fullbacks are becoming an endangered species. Many teams choose not to carry a fullback on the roster, and the Giants don't have a true backup for Hynoski. Reserve tight end Bear Pascoe has filled in at fullback in spot duty—including the stretch of games Hynoski missed with a neck injury in 2011—but he is not an ideal candidate for an entire season.
Perhaps one of the Giants' larger running backs could step into the void. Former Washington Redskin Ryan Torain and seventh-round draft pick Michael Cox each weigh in at 220 pounds, and both could be on the outside looking in as far as making the Giants' final 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Still, Torain and Cox lack 45 pounds of meat, compared to Hynoski.
The free agent market for fullbacks is scant, so maybe the Giants will reunite with Joe Martinek, an undrafted free agent from Rutgers who spent about half of the 2012 season on New York's practice squad. As a former running back, Martinek also lacks ideal size for an NFL-level fullback (225 lbs.).
Hynoski's recovery will be closely monitored this summer, as New York's fresh crop of running backs patiently await the return of their trusty trailblazer.

Cancer Center Hosts Afternoon of Enlightenment
Breast cancer survivors to share survival experiences Sunday, Oct. 3
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center is hosting an Afternoon of Enlightenment for breast cancer survivors on Sunday, Oct. 3, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Star City. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer survivors will join fellow survivors and cancer specialists from WVU's Cancer Center for an afternoon of sharing, celebration and learning. Cancer Center experts including Drs. Jame Abraham, Sobha Kurian, Carl Jueng, and Hannah Hazard will discuss the newest medical advances and technologies available for treating breast cancer.
"Our patients have become our extended families, and we are honored to have them as our guests at the Afternoon of Enlightenment," says Jame Abraham, M.D., section chief of Hematology/Oncology and the Bonnie Wells Wilson Distinguished Professor and Eminent Scholar in Breast Cancer Research. "They inspire us to be better health care providers, and they are a source of inspiration to others on the same cancer journey."
Cyndi Smith of Cumberland, Maryland, one of the speakers for the Afternoon of Enlightenment, says while she would not wish breast cancer on anyone, she was able to find purpose behind her diagnosis. "Before my diagnosis, I didn't realize how precious life was. It made me embrace life more. It brings you closer to people."
Smith, who is approaching her 10th year as a breast cancer survivor, gave up a successful business career to go back to school to become a registered nurse. "I want to work in oncology with breast cancer patients. I want to give back what I got, and that is hope and encouragement that other survivors gave to me."
"Being called a survivor makes me feel strong--reaffirms to me that I can make it through everything," says Gina Stewart, a four-year breast cancer survivor. Stewart was a 15-year veteran of the Morgantown Police Department when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. "I might have cried for a couple hours and felt scared. But my training taught me that if you are going to make it, you have to be logical. I got in 'kick butt' mode."
Stewart had to leave the department last year due to neuropathy, a nerve problem that can result from cancer or cancer treatment. But, she found her niche at the American Cancer Society (ACS). She began working at their Morgantown office as a volunteer director in a program geared for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. This February, she was hired as a community manager to coordinate ACS Relay for Life events in four counties. "I always tell new cancer patients to believe in their God and get strength from that. I also remind them to laugh and live life."
Sixty-nine-year-old Clara Atchison of Weston also believes in living life to the fullest despite breast cancer. "You can have cancer, but cancer can't have you," says Atchison. She was told by her doctor in 2002 that her cancer was advanced and that she had 18 months to live. Atchison sought treatment at the Cancer Center following her initial diagnosis. "I decided that if I'm going out, I'm going out my way."
Eight years later, she still works as a resource information consultant for the Lewis County Senior Center in Weston where she also teaches clogging and square dancing twice a week. She and her 90-year-old dance partner have won the Senior Olympics dance contest for the last six years.
"Dr. Abraham tells me to just keep doing what I'm doing… dancing, having regular mammograms, and so forth," Atchison said.
The Afternoon of Enlightenment is sponsored by the Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program at WVU and the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center. The event includes a light lunch for each breast cancer survivor and a guest. To RSVP, call Pam Foley at 304-598-4558 by Sept. 28.

For some individuals, any financial expense of opioid or drug dependency rehab is too much.
For individuals living in poverty and those who are out of work, even homeless, and battling with the physical, psychological, and financial cost of dependency, the concept of entering a treatment program seems impossible because there is merely no loan readily available. Since many treatment programs are beyond the capability of these people or their households to manage, some of them attempt a harmful cold-turkey or at-home detox, or other treatment approaches that are not evidence-based and offered by organizations with doubtful credentials. A few of these people, despite the fact that they wish to move past their dependencies, give up on the concept of rehab altogether merely based upon the inability to pay.
What Is Consisted of in Free Drug Rehab in Henagar, Alabama?
We offer details, resources, and treatment for individuals battling dependency and associated conditions. Our mission is to equip clients and households with the very best details, resources and tools to overcome addiction and pursue long-lasting recovery.

In a safe, extremely popular neighborhood in a metropolitan setting, our treatment center is an ideal place for young people. Recovery in an urban setting pays for customers many chances to incorporate "real world" experiences into treatment, such as getaways to the health club, films and other everyday activities.
What Happens in Addiction Rehabilitation? Serving 35978
Addiction rehabilitation treatment is tailored to the requirements of each individual. This typically includes some mix of detoxing (detox), group and private substance abuse therapy, relapse prevention education, and aftercare planning prior to program conclusion in order to preserve long-term sobriety.
Exactly what is detox?
Detox, or cleansing, is the cleaning of contaminants or damaging compounds from the body. A detox might be done by taking supplements or drinking liquids that are made specifically for cleansing, fasting and eating prescribed foods. This flushing of toxic substances is crucial for an individual's health and stability. While detox might be unpleasant and hard, there are ways to minimize the physical pain. Detox can be unsafe if not handled by a qualified medical practitioner. Detox addresses the physical issues that come with addiction. Once a client undergoes detox from opioids or drugs, they are then all set to begin the mental journey to healing.
Different dependencies require different treatments. In order to discover what is finest for you, discuss your circumstance with a certified health care specialist, such as a therapist, dependencies counselor, psychiatrist or doctor. Ask for a recommendation to a trusted treatment center.

It comes with the look halfway between perplexed and pitying. Because how could I not get it? And yet how could I, supposedly lacking Theory of Mind and understanding of symbolic language? It comes with an edge to the voice and the slightest roll of the eye. The puzzle piece, she explains, slowly, pointedly, as to an errant child, stands for the mystery of autism! Not autistic people, but how we still don't know what causes it!
And because it stands for what causes me to be me, well, obviously I shouldn't be offended. I try to explain that autism is not, cannot be, separate from the person, using the points Jim Sinclair outlined here. But then I look again. On her lapel is the most famous of all puzzle pieces. Of course I've seen it thousands of times, but I have to check, just in case I've been mistaken.
Nope, it's still the same. A puzzle piece shape in bright blue with legs, arms, and a shrunken little head. I'm pretty sure this is a person. Am I the only one who sees it? And while the Autism Speaks logo might not be the original autism puzzle piece, it is certainly the most recognizable. It represents a person, and despite my history of pareidolia there is no way you are going to convince me otherwise.

Blog? Dead? Nah. Apologies for the intermission, I just have not found any spare time to post on this blog in the last few days. Well, for the RSI applicants now panicking about whether or not you'll be accepted, here's a quick formula for your RSI application acceptance index. I haphazardly drafted it one day on College Confidential but decided that it is of sufficient value to be revised into a serious formula to give a rough measure of how likely you will be accepted. A low index is not necessarily an indicator of failure: this is, after all, for fun, and should not be taken as an absolute measure of your likelihood of acceptance :).
(The commercial nature of WordPress.com and its failure to provide me with FTP access means I can't post an applet that'll do the calculations for you. But hey, if you applied to RSI, you probably would not mind a bunch of arithmetic calculations :P.)

'Saturday Night Live' scorches Obama policies
NBC comedy show ruthless in satire of president's plans
"Saturday Night Live" opened its show last night with a comedy sketch that scorched President Obama over his economic policies including health care, "Cash for Clunkers" and borrowing billions of dollars from China.
The NBC program featured comic Fred Armisen portraying the commander in chief at a news conference with Chinese President Hu Jintao, played by Will Forte, who spoke through an interpreter, comic Nasim Pedrad.
Hu began by asking Obama about the success of his economic stimulus.
"I'm curious. How many jobs has it created?" asked the Chinese leader.
"None," answered Obama. "But our health-care reform plan, we're confident, is going to lead to enormous savings."
Learn Obama's strategy for destroying America as we've known it. Read "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values"
"How exactly is extending health-care coverage to 30 million people going to save you money?" Hu asked.
"I don't know," admitted Obama.
The foreign leader also ridiculed Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" car-incentive program, and issued a warning about the money the U.S. owes to China: "Just so there is no misunderstanding, you are not allowed to pay us back in clunkers."
"I assure you. You're going to get your money," stressed Obama.
Sensing he was being lied to, Hu through his interpreter asked a similar question three times, including: "Do I look like Mrs. Obama? Then why are you trying to do sex to me like I was Mrs. Obama? Just do it. Get it over with."
Just a year ago during the presidential campaign, the prime target of "Saturday Night Live" was then–Alaska governor Sarah Palin who was not only spoofed by Tina Fey, but also featured in a controversial skit where New York Times reporters sought to
probe the possibility Palin's husband, Todd, was having sex with the couple's
own daughters.
One WND reader commented: "I did have a problem with 'SNL' lampooning Palin last year. I've got to change my mind now that they demonstrated they're Equal Opportunity Lampooners. The recent skit was funnier 'n hell."

When collecting travel bag, I do not care a lot about t-shirts and trousers. But I know that shoes are the most important part of the gear and one needs at least two (better three) pairs to feel good every new day on long hikes.
Here I wanted to pay tribute to my boots, my buddies, which made my hiking full of pleasure and relax.
I want to advertise Merrell (for free), as my shoes were amazingly comfortable for many miles I walked during this USA journey and many other tours during many years before.

Runningwater Warmbloods
For Sale
EM Raleska
Dona Amour
For Sale
Most of our foals are sold in-utero, so if you're interested in one from the 2018 foal crop, please contact me. They're listed here in the order they're expected.
2018 Foal Crop:
St. Pr. A Elfenfeuer OLD
(Florencio/ Sion/ Figaro)
For Romance
(Furst Romancier/ Sir Donnerhall/ Don Schufro)
Alice Tarjan generously allowed me to try for an embryo from her spectacular mare and I'm over the moon that it worked. "Fury" has many accomplishments, including National Adult Amateur Grand Prix Champion in 2014. She was also campaigned by Lar Petersen as a mount for the Rio Olympics but was sidelined by an anjury.
Fury comes from the illustrious "Elfen" damline of Ewald Grotelueschen, her breeder, from which many successful upper level competition horses have originated. Elfenfeuer completed her mare performance test in Vechta and was selected to compete in Rastede, then she was purchased at the Oldenburg auction in Vechta and imported to the US. Alice purchased the mare at four and did all the training herself.
Read more about sire For Romance here:
From two such successful parents, this foal is -- I hope -- a filly to keep for my broodmare band, but may be available if a colt.
Icky L
(Desperado/ Ferro/ Abgar xx)
(Rousseau/ Flemmingh/ Amor)
Icky L is a young Dutch mare who, at her keuring in Ermelo, earned her Provisional Keur and Prok status , meaning her scores for conformation and movement (several in the 80s) were exceptional and she has excellent x-rays. Icky comes from a very strong damline -- all names traditionally ending in -icky, which explains her name. Both granddams as well as her dam achieved their Prestatie status.
Desperado: Ampere:
Dona Amour
(San Amour/ Florencio/ Donnerschwee)
Welfenkonig II
(Wolkenstein II/ Matcho/ Garibaldi II)
Dona Amour
Welfenkonig II
Dona Amour is a young mare with spectacular movement and excellent bloodlines. The GOV inspectors remarked on her striking likeness to her sire, San Amour. Before becoming a broodmare, Dona Amour's dam Dona Florena, by Florencio, was very successful in hand and was East Coast Champion. Dona Amour's grand-dam, Dona di Mondo, was Reserve Champion mare of the Brilliantring in Rastede.
Dona Amour -- aka "Smudge" -- is an elegant, sensitive mare with lots of presence. Like her sire, she's uphill, electric, and has a very active hind leg. We're very excited to see the result of her pairing with Welfenkonig II, himself an incredibly well-bred horse, has the rideability and type that should compliment Smudge very well.
EM Raleska
(Rascalino/ Warkant/ Argentan)
(Florencio/ Donnerhall/ Walldorf)
Pairing Raleska with Floriscount has been a magic cross for me so far, producing two back-to-back Premium colts -- Fortunato H
O and Franco H
O -- who were also named Foals of Distinction by the GOV and who are both being kept as stallion prospects. Both colts, owned by pros Lehua Custer and Bryce Adelle Quinto, respectively, are being raised under the watchful eye of Hilda Gurney at Keenridge Farm in California.
I'm desperately hoping for a keeper filly from this cross, but Raleska has for a third time conceived a colt. This colt has been sold.
Special consideration given to FEI/ upper level riders.
Please inquire about upcoming foals from specific mares.

- Strong and isolated storms possible between 6 and 10pm
- Highest chances near or just east of the I-75 corridor
- Threats include wind damage, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rain.
You may have felt the heat today. As of 3 pm, the Gainesville Regional Airport had reached a temperature of 91° and heat indices had been as high as 100°. As sea breezes march inland late this afternoon, showers and thunderstorms are likely to form along both boundaries. With near equal wind patterns from both directions, a sea breeze collision is likely this evening near of just east of the I-75 corridor. The presence of slightly cooler and drier air aloft could lead to a few severe cells capable of producing wind damage, very frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. The upper-level support is also available for storms to continue well into the evening hours, possibly lingering as late as 10 or 11 pm.

While summer winds down, growers are ramping up their efforts to become the most effective leaders possible through the National Corn Growers Association's Advanced Leadership Training Program, co-sponsored by Syngenta.
On Aug. 24, NCGA announced the second class, which will meet this September in Greensboro, N.C., to hone their leadership skills and prepare to lead the industry forward.
"As a graduate of the NCGA Leadership Academy, I understand the important role these programs play in developing the skill set required of an effective leader," said NCGA President Bart Schott.
"This program develops the leadership NCGA needs to succeed in the future. We are grateful for Syngenta's continued sponsorship of this key program."
During the nearly week-long course, a small group of active grower leaders will tackle tough leadership issues, such as organization design and behavior, troubleshooting, positive negotiations and advocacy communications.
The program, which provides intensive leadership training to a handful of well-qualified applicants, aims to help develop top notch state and national leadership that is empowered to share their skill set within the industry and community. This program builds upon the Leadership Academy that has helped develop corn industry leadership since 1986.
Attending Advanced Leadership Training this year are Bob Bowman (DeWitt, Iowa); Bill Chase (Wolsey, S.D.); Morris Heitman (Mound City, Mo.); Darrin Ihnen (Hurley, S.D.); Paul Taylor (Esmond, Ill.); and Kevin Skunes (Arthur, N.D.).
In March, attendees will meet again for Advanced Leadership II, which covers lobbying and coalition building, legal and fiduciary training, public policy briefings and agency visits.
Since 1986, NCGA, the state corn associations and, most importantly, the U.S. corn industry, have benefited tremendously from the original Leadership Academy, which provides invaluable media, communications, association management and public policy knowledge and skills to its participants.

|1842-1862 information taken from the early journals (see below).
|The Abraham Labatt
Their father, came to San Francisco in 1849. He was elected the first president of one of the two pioneer Western organizations, Emanu-El in April, 1851, and that same month he was elected one of the eight city councilmen who governed San Francisco. One of Abraham's son's, Samuel K., who had been born in New Orleans, came to San Francisco in 1850 where he opened a dry goods business with his brother Joseph, but soon returned to New Orleans where he was elected an officer of the Hebrew Benevolent Society there.
He returned to California in the spring of 1853 and settled in Los Angeles along with his brother Joseph.
Solomon Nunes Carvalho (pronounced Cavayo in Portuguese) was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1815 into a Jewish family of Spanish-Portuguese descent. During the winter of 1853-54, Carvalho accompanied the explorer John C. Frémont on his fifth and final journey across the Rockies through the territories of Kansas, Colorado, and Utah searching for a railroad route to the Pacific. Carvalho produced more than 300 daguerreotypes on the trip, which were intended to be used in a report about the expedition. He worked as both a painter and a photographer. The daguerreotypes that Carvalho took on this expedition no longer exist. It is believed that the copy daguerreotype of an Indian village that came to the Library with the Brady collection was made from one of Carvalho's daguerreotypes. Most of Carvalho''s daguerreotypes were lost in a fire in New York City and the report was never written. Carvalho later wrote a book describing the journey. His journal is dated 1856 in which he describes his meeting in California with the Labatt brothers.
His photograph may be seen at:
Link: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/daghtml/dagport.html
Link: http://www.jewish_history.com/WildWest/carvalho/index.html.
In 1854, just 200 years after the first Sephardim arrived in New Amsterdam, Carvalho opened a photographic studio in a building owned by the Labatt brothers, Samuel K. and Joseph, the only Sephardim in town at that time. He became one of the founding fathers of the Los Angeles Jewish community.
Bernard Cohn was one of the originators of Hellman, Haas & Company (now Haas, Baruch & Company, the well-known grocers), and a pioneer of 1856. During the late seventies and early eighties, he was a man of much importance, both as a merchant and a City Father, sitting in the Council of 1888 and becoming remarkably well-read in the ordinances and decrees of the Los Angeles of his day. Hippolyte Cahen (whose widow was a member of the Lazarus Stationery Company,) had an up-to-date general store at Anaheim; and Simon Cahen, son-in-law of Bernard Cohn, was similarly occupied in the Azusa district.
Harris Newmark (1834-1916), son of a modest Prussian Jewish merchant, sailed to America in 1853 to join his older brother in Los Angeles. He made a fortune in real estate, the wholesale grocery business, and hides and wools, becoming a leader in the local Jewish community and the city at large. Sixty years in Southern California (1916) begins with his description of Los Angeles as he found it; judges and lawyers, merchants and shops, churches and other landmarks. In the chapters that follow, Newmark organizes his materials chronologically and outlines his various mercantile partnerships and traces changing patterns of social life in Los Angeles, political factions, railroad construction in southern California, crime and vigilantism, the Chinese Massacre of 1871, and real estate speculations. In a more personal vein, he chronicles Jewish family life and philantropy.
Isaac Norton was one of the real pioneers of Los Angeles. That city was his home forty-eight years. He found it as a community still dominated by the Spanish and Mexican influences, with a large part of the population Mexican. His business enterprise contributed to the growth and development of the city, and no less important among the factors and influences emanating from his life were his civic loyalty and public spirit.
Norton, a Vermonter, who had first practiced law in New York, then migrated west, and had later been a prime mover for, and a member of, the first California Constitutional Convention, and who was afterward Superior Court Judge at San Francisco, was an excellent lawyer, when sober, and a good fellow. He came to the Coast in the summer of 1848, was made First Lieutenant and Chief-of-Staff of the California Volunteers, and drifted in 1852 from Monterey to Los Angeles. He joined Bean's Volunteers, and in 1857 delivered here a flowery Fourth of July oration. Norton was the second County Judge, succeeding Agustin Olvera and living with the latter's family at the Plaza; and it was from Norton's Court of Sessions, in May, 1855, that the dark-skinned Juan Flores was sent to the State prison, although few persons suspected him to be guilty of such [p.48] criminal tendencies as he later developed. Norton died in Los Angeles in 1887; and Norton Avenue recalls his life and work.
Albert M. Norton, Los Angeles attorney and financier, was a son of the late Isaac and Bertha (Greenbaum) Norton, and in his personal career measured up to those standards expected of a representative of one of the oldest Jewish names in Southern California.
S. Tilden Norton, one of Los Angeles' eminent architects, was a native son of California, and his professional work had a dignity and a certain quality that was among the distinctions readily recognized as the characteristics of "the California School" of Architects.
In 1853, M. Norton and E. Greenbaum sold merchandise at the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Commercial streets (when J. L. Jacob, an early Supervisor and City Treasurer, 1863-64 and Moritz Morris, Councilman in 1869-70, were competitors). In time, Jacob returned to Germany, where he died. Herman Morris, a brother to Moritz, was a local newspaper reporter. Jacob Letter was another rival, who removed to Oakland. Still another dealer in general merchandise was M. Michaels, almost a dwarf in size, who emigrated to South America. Casper Behrendt--father-in-law of John Kahn, a man prominent in many movements--arrived in 1851, was another Commercial Street merchant. Still other early merchants were Israel Fleishman and Julius Sichel, who had a glassware, crockery and hardware business; and L. Lasky, on Commercial Street.
Mordecai Zeitoun. He was an entrepreneur in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, Missouri in 1904. ""Papa"" as he was affectionately known, along with his daughter Rose arrived in Los Angeles during the closing months of 1904. probably in October or early November. They were followed by brothers Louis and David Bramy. David married Rose Zeitoun on March 6, 1906 and their son, Roger was the first known Sephardi to be born in Los Angeles on February 14, 1907.
Most returned to find wives. A
few married non-Jewish women.

Common denominators for good teachers are: * Enthusiasm; * Firmness along with fairness;
* Good organization;
* Erudition not limited to the subject matter;
* A sense of humor;
* Concern for the student;
* Achievement of respect from the student without intimidation.
Those were arrived at during a six-hour seminar on ''Positive Approaches to Evaluation'' conducted by Robert C. Hawley of Amherst, Mass. He was discussing these commonalities with leaders from 21 member schools of the California Association of Independent Schools.
Dr. Hawley added three more which he believes to be important:
''Teachers must convey good sense to the student, a sense that they know what they are doing.
''Secondly, good teachers expect the students to be on their toes, to be alert.
''Thirdly, the teacher must know what is going on in the classroom and be on top of it.''
