In my previous post about the astonishing news that unspecified damage was done at Christie's on Friday to Picasso's "Le Marin," 1943 (which had been estimated to bring around $70 million in Tuesday's Impressionist/Modern Art auction), I had suggested that the auction house's reticence might have been related to the situation's being "in the hands of the lawyers (as happened with Steve Wynn's previous Picasso fiasco)."
That apparently is the case.
Although Christie's has failed to respond to my repeated requests for more detailed information, Mike Kosnitzky of the Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman law firm, representing the other side in this contretemps, was willing to grant me a phone interview.
His client in this dispute, he said, is not Steve Wynn as an individual, but the art-dealing firm that Wynn recently formed—Sierra Fine Art LLC. Three of the artworks on Sierra's website are paintings that had been consigned to Christie's. The two Picassos have been withdrawn, but the auction of Warhol's "Double Elvis," estimated to bring about $30 million, is going forward.
Below are excerpts (lightly edited for clarity) from my conversation this afternoon with Kosnitzky. (My own comments are italicized and in brackets.)
ROSENBAUM: Will a lawsuit be filed?
KOSNITZKY: We hope a lawsuit will not be filed. We are trying to work with Christie's. There's no arbitration and no lawsuit has been filed. Our intention is not to file one. Our intention is to work with the adjuster, the insurers and Christie's and to try to get to an amicable, businesslike resolution of the problem.
ROSENBAUM: What's your understanding of what happened?
KOSNITZKY: That a contractor that worked with Christie's poked a hole in the painting with some implement. That's my understanding.
Their position is that it was an accident. What makes this [in Kosnitzky's opinion] flagrant, gross negligence is that the person who damaged the painting should never have been in the presence of the painting. [I suspect that Christie's may argue otherwise.]
[Katya Kazakina of Bloomberg this afternoon reported an explanation of what happened, given to her by a source who asked not to be identified. Christie's did not respond to my requests for details about how the painting was damaged and the nature of that damage.]
KOSNITZKY: If there's any dispute with Christie's, it's over value. We think it is clearly worth over $100 million.
ROSENBAUM: Didn't your client agree with the estimate ["in the region of $70 million"]? That's usually arrived at in consultation with the consignor.
KOSNITZKY: My client was not involved in the presale estimates. My client was involved with what guarantees were. [Kosnitzky would not reveal the amounts of the guarantees.] The only thing that we contractually had deals with was the guarantee—the amount of which I cannot disclose….The guarantee is a minimum. We we disagree strongly with the value that Christie's ascribes to it.
ROSENBAUM: How will you attempt to resolve your differences without having to resort to the courts or arbitration—through a financial payment that you feel is equitable?
KOSNITZKY: Of course: "Equitable" given the damage to the painting, the diminution in value and the cost to restore the painting to its original luster. That will be measured in years and at substantial cost.
ROSENBAUM: What comes next?
KOSNITZKY: The adjuster will have to do his or her report, then we'll get a sense of what it will take to repair and then the experts will do valuation. I'm sure there will be some debate between the parties as to what the value is and what the diminution in value [due to the damage] is.
ROSENBAUM: Why was the other Picasso ["Femme au chat assise dans un fauteuil," estimated at $22 million to $28 million] withdrawn?
I think just out of anger. He was very upset and did not want, as a business matter, to leave another fine Picasso there, so he removed the "Lady with the Cat" at the same time. He did also originally remove the Warhol "Double Elvis" [estimated "in the region of $30 million"] but after some urging, he felt it was in the best interest of Sierra Fine Arts to leave that painting there and allow them to sell it.
We'll soon see how that goes. Tonight's auction at Christie's begins at 7 p.m.
UPDATE: "Double Elvis" hammered at $33.5 million; final price with fees was $37 million.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this post had said that the two Picassos had been slated to be sold in today's contemporary sale. They had been consigned to (and withdrawn from) Tuesday's Impressionist/Modern sale (as I reported here).

10 Issues To Think About Ahead of You Renovate
We canvassed dozens of industry pros to catalog approaches you can wrestle your renovation costs back down to earth. No matter whether you happen to be tight on time or worried about stretching your price range too thin, we've compiled a list of cost-effective home makeover concepts that can be done on any schedule – from a day, to a weekend, to 1 week. I never believe there are any couples that go by way of a renovation that don't feel this frustration.
We have also removed all of the base boards in the residence due to the fact new tile and hardwood is going down. Then yesterday, Stuart came to work and we drained all the water from the house like the central heating, before removing the old vented hot water cylinder. Even though renovating a Civil War-era bed-and-breakfast in New Jersey some years back, contractor Bill Asdal needed wood flooring.
1 of my favourite stories on the Queenslander in inner city Brisbane is there, plus the hot pink Culburra Beach home known as Gidget. When you have the time, take a tour of the inside of my property in Part II. I am extremely proud of my residence, but I don't believe I would be brave sufficient to ever do something like that again. For acquire, remortgage and homeowner loan applications we'll carry out a Common Valuation to ensure the property we are lending against offers appropriate safety for a HSBC mortgage. I have had smaller we had a extremely little bathroom in the property our little ones grew up in. Thanks for stopping and for the vote. To be expense efficient, choosing supplies on an environmentally preferred basis demands careful sourcing, scheduling and quantity estimation to avoid waste. I would very appreciate it if you could send me the full design and style for this residence.
In spite of the suggestions from our realtor to repaint our colorful walls back to a neutral, off-white, we kept things as is, and the initial individual who looked at the home fell in adore with the colors and ended up buying it. Ask ko lang po magkano po klngng spending budget kapag magpapagawa ng 40sqm home po.. tpos po nakaabang na po yung para pang2nd floor incase na might pera na po ulit panggawa. I kept the floor plan straightforward: 3 bedrooms, one particular bathroom, a lounge/family members area, and a big consume-in kitchen with verandahs surrounding the whole residence. The tv is also a excellent supply for tips for sprucing up the interior of your residence.
Hi, Peggy W. Yes, I am sorry Doc in no way got to see my old home…he would have loved it. The county wanted me to register my house with the local historical society, but I would have to get permission from them to change anything if I wanted to. I decided not to do that just for a plaque to place in the yard! The area was tiled and painted, and we utilized leftover travertine tile from my in-laws' property to make a one particular-row backsplash around the new bathroom vanity.

Release Courtesy of UMass Boston Athletics
BOSTON, Mass. – In January, junior softball player Kiera Prusmack (Houston, Texas) was chosen to participate in the NCAA Student Immersion Program as part of the 2019 NCAA Convention, which was held in Orlando, Florida.
Prusmack was one of 40 participants that traveled to the NCAA Convention. In addition to the regular programming, Prusmack and her fellow student-athletes also attended sessions with the Division and Inclusion Work Group.
BeaconsAthletics.com caught up with the native of Texas to talk about her time at the convention, and some of the most memorable moments, and what she plans on using in Beaconville.
Tell us about how you got to the NCAA Convention.
I got to the NCAA Convention through the Student Immersion Program for Diversity and Inclusion, and found out about that program through a former staff member at UMass Boston, Tracey Hathaway. I applied to the program my sophomore year, but wasn't chosen that year. So, I decided I would apply again last fall, and thankfully I became the first and only person from UMass Boston to ever get chosen to this specific program. The NCAA was kind enough to have all expenses paid for, including flights, transportation, food, etc., and it was honestly one of the best experiences since I've been in college.
What was the biggest take away from each day at the convention?
After the first day, the main thing I took away from the convention was to make connections. We met our mentors and the head of our program and we just started talking about our careers and where we want to be after college. The second day was very informative in regards to new mental health awareness workshops and sexual violence prevention discussions, and I'm actually very excited to bring what I learned back to my campus SAAC that I have been a part of for two years now. The third and fourth day were mainly about issues throughout DIII and there was a forum regarding the new bylaws that were being put in place, and it was really cool to learn about what goes on in the NCAA that the student-athletes do not see every day.
If you could have done something differently at the convention what would it have been?
If I could have done something differently at the convention, it would have been to attend more educational programs about different things going on in the NCAA. Our schedule was very tight and planned out for us so we were only able to attend two, but I would have liked to attend at least four because I had never been exposed to many of those topics and I wanted to learn about them.
Did you connect with any administrator while at the convention and what did he/she teach you in the time together?
I mostly connected with my own administrators from my school. It was very interesting to see what they do and what their jobs consist of, especially in our Little East Conference meeting. But I also connected with administrators from different private schools, the Naval Academy, other Division III schools and conferences. The main person I connected with was my career path mentor, Megan Tustin, from Arcadia University in Pennsylvania. She taught me how to overcome challenges within myself and within the workplace as well, especially being a black woman. She gave me so much advice on how to connect and stay connected with people and how to take action to lead myself down my own path.
What would you say to a fellow student-athlete who is interested in getting involved in college athletics administration or attending the NCAA Convention?
I would say to make as many connections as possible. Meet as many people as you can, get to know them on a personal level. Talk to your own administration at your school, talk to your coach, talk to your athletic academic advisor about jobs or internships that you are interested in and what career you want to pursue.
Now that you have attended the convention, where do you see yourself in college athletics/administration after you graduate?
After being a part of the Student Immersion Program, I would like to see myself in charge of that specific area in the NCAA. The people I met there were so helpful and kind, and I would like to be a role model for someone else who looks like me. If a student-athlete is unclear of their path and where they want to go and what they want to do, i want to be able to guide them down the right path, help them make the right connections, and ultimately gain a healthy, professional and personal relationship with them as well.

Fear Street, this one goes out to you.
Think Back to 2001...A gem....called Jeepers Creepers:
Remember it?
You know something, I find that Jeepers Creepers really got a bad rep. Maybe it's the name? Too rhymy? Is rhymy a word? Now it is.
The movie starred Justin Long (Drag Me To Hell, Dodgeball, He's Just Not That Into You, Drew Barrymore's Boyfriend, and the Mac Guy) and Gina Phillips, who I never heard of but she's in a lot of TV Movies. Regardless, the casting for this movie was great because do they look like brother and sister or what?
Are they really related? I'd believe it.
Anyway, this bro and sis duo is driving home from college or something, and they see a mysterious man throwing bags of bodies down a well or ditch. They end up of course getting involved and mayhem ensues.
We find out that the "man" is really "The Creeper" an inhuman beast that feeds on humans to make new body parts:
Kind of looks like The Undertaker, no?
He has wings too, btw.
Now, I have to admit, there are two things about this film that kind of made it feel corny...one is the stupid song. I get it, Jeepers Creepers...It's the song and the movie title. But like, do we need to keep hearing it? And how does someone always end up playing it? What year are we in?
Second is the psychic woman who is calling them to warn them. How'd she have the number? Fine, I get it, she's psychic...but why didn't she call all of those other poor people for the past 23 days or whatever?
Anyway, the movie's ending is kind of sad, I won't indulge you, but you should def see it. A nice change of pace if you ask me.
There was a sequel made, Jeepers Creepers 2, which I have not seen yet. Is it any good? I read the synopsis on Wikipedia and it seems "eh". And then of course, we'll have Jeepers Creepers 3: The Cathedral, coming out soon.

Monster Bash Blog...ReVAMP(ire)'ed
Hey, I tried to fit the word "vampire" into "revamped", give me a little cred here!
Anyways, I figure with a new year of spoOOooOoOokiness approaching, it was time to give MB Blog a little makeover mayhem.
First of all, it took me an hour and a half to choose which background I liked best. I like the understated tombstone, don't you? I was torn between orange and pumpkins or this, I like this one. I hope you enjoy it as well.
I hope you like the picture of the Jason cake I made that replaced my childhood Mario costume. If you remember, I made Jason Voorhees a birthday cake back in February for the premier of the remake of Friday the 13th. He loved it, by the way.
I also added a new poll! So get out there and vote about your costume inspirations! And for real, if you get your costume ideas elsewhere, I wanna know about it!
Did you check out my frightening new countdown on the bottom of the page? I sure hope you did!
So, I hope you like the boo and improved changes here at MB Blog!
Exclamation points!!

Descent Part 2 = Better than Decent
For some reason, November 1st makes everyone forget about what's really important: Halloween.
Why does one day changing make everyone go from Fall fun to Winter wonderland?
I don't get it.
I mean, I keep my head in the game, I'm still thinking about pumpkins and ghosts...why on November 1st is there a Christmas tree replacing my Mr. Bones and Ghost cookie jar?
I feel so out of the loop...
I even went to upcoming horror movies to see what I've been missing, and the website is different...I'm confused!
But what it looks like to me, is that 2010 is going to be the Year of the SpoOoOoOky Sequel!
We have: The Descent 2, Friday the 13th 2 (which is the remake's sequel, making there 2 Friday the 13th 2's...say that 5 times fast), Cloverfield 2 (really?), Silent Hill 2, Jeepers Creepers 3...you get the idea.
The one I'm looking most forward to is definitely The Descent 2. The first one was great, and the sequel looks equally as scary. They've released 11 clips...all great.
Seriously, did you watch them yet? Watch them all. Fantastic. I'm pumped.

I've paused my life in New York City for a bit and I am home in Missouri cooking and loving on my family. I am more exhausted than many of my busiest weeks in the City, but I am happy to be in this house with these people that I love so much. Circumstances here are like a boiling pot that needs to constantly be watched. Hopefully, things will be reduced to a simmer in the coming weeks and life for my family will feel more manageable. (One of my favorite American proverbs: "It is good to remember that although the teakettle may be up to its neck in hot water, it continues to sing.")
I was going to skip All Good Things this week because nothing was written, no recipe planned, and I'm just so tired. My sister and I put our parents to bed and I picked up my phone to look at the photos I've taken this week and they seemed kind of profound. I wanted to share. Maybe they'll stir up memories of your childhood home. Or bring to mind a special time when you got to give special attention to the ones you love. You might even be inspired to make a bunch of comfort food and fill your freezer to have meals for the coming weeks!
If you've got some room in your heart, a free slot on your prayer list, or good vibes to spare, the Adams Family needs the love!
The recipes for the food photos up there can be found in past posts.
Chicken Pot Pie can be found in Being Chicken.
Chicken Noodle Soup can be found in TLC.
BBQ Pulled Pork will be featured soon!
Potato Soup can be found in A Quiet Thing.
Quinoa Burgers can be found in Stock Up.
And Roasted Sweet Potatoes can be found in This Is So Simple or Grilled Sweet Potatoes can be found in Root To Rise.

Jimmy had blocked off part of the living room so Mac couldn't get out! hahaa. Jimmy was sitting on the far side of the loveseat next to the other open escape route so that if Mac went that way he could just reach over and catch him and not have to get up!
(Jimmy standing in front of the open space between the couch and the wall)
Mac eventually figured out that the pillow was not much of a road block. He reminded me of Jurassic Park when the dinosaurs kept "testing" the fence for weak spots. At least the pillow was not electrically charged.
(please excuse the pile of laundry and other mess)
And he's free, he takes a duck hostage
But that doesn't stop Dad. He got put back in jail, however, he went straight back to the pillowed section and promptly escaped again. Oh well, at least Jimmy got to sit for a second. hahaa.

This felt circle bee craft, and the instructions on tips on how to make it, could be found at CRAFTS FOR KIDS.
It factors out that it has taken 50 years to create a vibrant arts culture in Britain that's the envy of the world and appeals to the federal government to not slash arts funding and threat destroying this lengthy-time period achievement and the social and economic advantages it brings to all. The ARTS Center Campus is a 3rd Place" devoted to multidisciplinary arts for college students to interact in after school and on weekends.
Much of the popular consideration paid to the arts revolves across the critically vital and useful work supported by conventional cultural institutions. Turnaround Arts currently works in sixty eight colleges in 36 districts and 15 states and the District of Columbia. Thank You for sharing this hub with us. It clears so much up in the matter of Christians and Martial Arts.

60 years of the Stroud Film Society
Now in its 61st year, Stroud Film Society continues to champion new films from around the world that you won't see in the local multiplex. Who else would bring a Nepalese circus documentary to the Slad valleys?
On Thursday 15 March Stroud Film Society presents Even When I Fall, a true story of human trafficking within Indian circuses, preceded by a Q&A with members of the production team. Tim Mugford and Claire Carpenter tell us more about the society's origins and how they brought Even When I Fall to SFF.
"The Stroud and District Film Society was formed in 1958 by the inspiration and enthusiasm of Jack and Grace Allington and Natalie Savage. Films were shown at St Matthews Church Hall in Cainscross. We could seat 200 people and frequently did. In 1996 we changed to the British School Hall, where we still meet.
"Over these many years we have shown more than 800 main features, together with many short films. Seeing all the titles now, it is difficult to separate those which one considered excellent at the time from others.
"Certainly noteworthy was our 25th anniversary show when [Get Carter] director Mike Hodges came and presented excerpts of his films. In 1990 there was the visit of a number of Polish Film Society members after the election of Lech Walesa to Polish government. And our showing of Mugabe and the White African presented by the local producers in 2009.
"Then at last year's festival Vivien Halas, daughter of John Halas and Joy Batchelor, came and introduced Animal Farm and told us of their several studios in Stroud, and the local animators Harold Whitaker and Tony Guy.
"That this Society has been so successful over the years is undoubtedly due to all the work put in by the volunteers, from choosing the programmes to booking the films to projecting."
Which brings us to Even When I Fall, which Claire discovered in Manchester at a weekend screening put on by the BFI's Independent Cinema Office.
"It's always a strange feeling going into a cinema at 9am in the morning... but the weekend was excellent, all really high quality and there was a very diverse selection. Even When I Fall was an unusual and thought-provoking film. I was delighted to hear that it was available for regional previews and with the possibility of a Q&A from the directors! So I was delighted to be able to include it as our film for the Stroud Film Festival."
Even When I Fall - British School, Slad Road, GL5 1QG - Thursday 15 March, 8pm

The Basics of Annuity Interest
Money invested in an annuity accumulates as it earns interest. Annuity interest rates depend on the type of annuity. Before discussing the types of annuity based on the interest rates, it should be made clear that an annuity has two phases: the accumulation phase and the annuity phase. In the accumulation period, the invested money basically remains untouched as it is allowed to grow. The rate of increase of the account's value depends on the interest rate. In the annuity phase, which is also called the payout phase, regular payments start to be paid out to the annuitant (the one who receives the annuity).
In a fixed annuity, the invested money earns a fixed interest during the accumulation period. During the annuity period, the investment less the payout continues to accumulate at the fixed rate. Growth in a fixed rate will be relatively low but the investment is exposed to lesser risk. Investors in fixed annuity benefit best if the current interest rates fall but are on the losing end when they rise.
In a variable annuity, interest rates are dictated by market conditions. The money that you put into the annuity is allocated among different managed funds. You get to choose how to distribute your money into three types of funds - stocks, bonds and cash equivalents. The value of your account depends on the performance of your investment options.
Whether in a fixed or variable annuity, prevailing annuity interest rates are dictated by economic conditions. It is therefore not unusual for rates to change frequently and sometimes, significantly. Insurance providers regularly monitor the economic and financial market so they can adjust their interest rates accordingly.
If you're planning to purchase an annuity, try to shop around and compare interest rates. Be wary, however, of providers that offer high initial rates so as to attract clients but switch to lower rates after a certain period. Or, they may apply lower rates to subsequent contributions. That's why it is very important to understand everything about the annuity before you purchase it.
It is not so much the initial rates that matter as the long-term rate of return. With changing market conditions, however, this is especially difficult to foretell, especially with variable annuity. In this case, it would be sensible to look at the past performance of the funds where your money is to be invested. Basically, the performance of these funds also depends on how the insurance company and its fund managers handled them. So you might also want to check out if the company you're interested in has had proven accomplishment in the management of funds.
Apart from being able to manage funds well, the company should also be in the industry long enough and has a track record in annuities. This is because competitive annuity interest rates are also determined, aside from economic conditions, from experience. Those who have had experience in offering competitive interest rates that will benefit the contract owner and the annuitant, without jeopardizing the financial stability of the company is most likely able to come up with a favorable annuity contract.

Defend the North returns to White Plains, New York this weekend for its fifth iteration, continuing the legacy of New York's largest fighting game event. Tournament organizer Andy "citiofbrass" Dumornay first launched Defend the North in January 2014 with the belief that New York City's fighting game community deserved a major tournament. In the years since its debut in Flushing, Queens, DTN has served as a destination for the Capcom Pro Tour, Injustice 2 Pro Series and Killer Instinct World Cup, but that growth has also come with challenges.
New York City's high cost of living and constant tourist traffic make rental space more expensive and harder to find, when compared to other tournament destinations. Despite this, Dumornay has remained committed to growing his event as close to the city as possible. He believes that New York has the country's top fighting game talent and that the players should be able to attract the sort of top-level competition and sponsorship seen at events in other parts of the country.
"I've been grateful to the [pro tours] who do look at Defend the North as a qualifying major," Dumornay said, in an interview with Shoryuken. "I think that New York has the best talent in the U.S. and it's a shame for pro tours to overlook that. Why should the best talent in the U.S. have to travel to other states just to prove their worth? This happens with the Northeast time and time again."
As the tournament lineup continues to change and players come and go, Dumornay sees the FGC in a place of transition. The generation that arrived with Street Fighter IV are community veterans now, as are the players who attended the first Defend the North. Getting the current generation of teenagers interested in competitive fighters has become a core goal for Dumornay as a tournament organizer.
Given the density of New York City there's no shortage of gamers, but getting them active and organized within the community takes more than entering names into a bracket. In 2016 Dumornay moved Defend the North to a larger suburban venue with extra room for vendors, cosplay and, of course, more games.
In recent years the tournament has expanded to include games outside of traditional fighters, including Fortnite, Gears of War and Hearthstone. Arena fighter For Honor will also return to Defend the North for a second year, with more players and international competition. By incorporating games from other genres, Dumornay's hopes to introduce new players to fighting games. By the end of the weekend, DTN will run brackets for at least 20 different games.
"You don't want to have anyone feel left out, so you try to put in as many games as possible to accommodate those who are requesting it," Dumornay said. "The reason why I put in Gears of War and Fortnite was to try and get more teenagers aware fighting game community, that is the mission statement of Defend the North."
Looking at events like Evo, NEC, and CEO as models for growth, Dumornay said he recognizes the importance of having top players and casuals share the floor at a major. Beyond just adding more games to the lineup, he understands that adding more activities for casual players, like arcade setups or a 24-hour ballroom, elevates the overall experience.
"A lot of people think the important thing is to have a bunch of pro players come to your event but the majority is always going to be the casual players," Dumornay said. "So it's all about trying to have exciting things for the casual players to do."
Even as Defend the North grows, the focus remains on bringing New York City together as a community and attracting the highest level of competition. This year Defend the North will host a special 5-on-5 exhibition match between New York City and the Dominican Republic in Street Fighter V. The exhibition was spawned after MenaRD and Caba faced criticism for heckling opponents during their matches at NorCal Regionals earlier this year.
"I saw a lot of people saying 'This shouldn't be allowed,'" Dumornay said. "Then you had some of the OGs saying 'Hey, this is some of the stuff we had to deal with back in the arcade,' mind you it was mainly New Yorkers who were saying that."
New York has built its own reputation for trash talk during matches, and Dumornay felt New York would be able to match Mena's crew round for round and shout for shout. With no prize money involved it's just pride on the line. The Dominican Republic will be represented by Capcom Cup champion Rise|MenaRD, Rise|Caba, DR Ray, Loli24k, and Mandrake. The New York team will feature RISE|Smug, iDom, SB|Dieminion, OG|Shine and UYU|Kami. Dumornay hinted that a second team of New York challengers may be put together on site. The 5-on-5 exhibition is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, July 20.
Defend the North 2018 will be streaming from July 20 to July 22 on TeamSp00ky, TSB Blaze, House of 3000, Kick-Punch-Block, HitBox Arena, and Encore esports USA. Check below for stream times and pool schedules. Full bracket information is available via smash.gg. Major sponsors for Defend the North include esports Ecosystem, Nitro Concepts, Bloody Gaming, G Fuel and SonicBoxx.

Joseph Michael Chubbuck went in for an emergency appendectomy in March of 2012 and came out with a rare and aggressive, but unidentifiable abdominal cancer diagnosis.
His doctors sent biopsies to the best cancer centers in the country, but no one could figure out what kinds of cancer Joseph had, said his mother Barbara Chubbuck, who is vice president of the Joseph Michael Chubbuck Foundation.
They finally decided the cancer was a rare type of sarcoma known as DSRCT based upon a genetic mutation found within it. No cure exists for DSRCT at this time, just surgical intervention, radiation, and aggressive chemotherapy to extend the patient's life, she said.
The Joseph Michael Chubbuck Foundation was established in September 2014 in memory of the Westmoreland resident, who was going to Utica College and preparing for Officer Candidate School with the Army National Guard.
Joseph underwent three surgeries and several rounds of aggressive chemo over a sixteen-month period, but passed away on Aug. 1, 2013.
Before his passing, he asked his family to start a charity to help patients and their families with their expenses and equipment needed at the hospitals/treatment centers, Barbara said.
That foundation, the Joseph Michael Chubbuck Foundation, was founded in November 2014.
In 2015 the foundation gave away roughly $45,000, in 2016 approximately $47,000 was given away, and currently the foundation is on track to give away about $50,000 this year, Barbara said.
What does the foundation do?
The foundation provides financial assistance to cancer patients living in (or receiving treatment in) Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, and Onondaga Counties. The foundation helps cancer patients that are undergoing treatment by assisting them with rent, childcare, utility bills, treatment travel expenses, groceries, and needed equipment. The foundation does not pay doctor bills or co-pays nor does it pay for non-traditional supplements (such as herbs). The foundation provides needed equipment to treatment centers, hospitals, and hospices.
Why is it important to you to continue to be a part of this organization?
It is important for me to be part of this organization because it is one of the few cancer charities that offers financial assistance to patients. The foundation has helped well over 300 patients with direct financial assistance-and countless others through the provision of needed medical equipment/sleeper chairs to hospitals. … Knowing that we can help ease the financial burden of these patients, even a little, makes me feel good. I know it is what my son wanted.
What are you most proud of having completed with the foundation?
I am proud that the Foundation was established in my son's memory and that it has grown to be recognized in many of Central New York's cancer treatment circles. The foundation has a strong board that oversees all the allocation of funds. ... I am proud of how we have been steadily growing over the past three years.

WJM – Day 3
Jul 30, 2008 Leave a comment
Vikram Malhotra is known for his flair and stylish play and when on song he plays absolutely brilliant squash. This is exactly what happened today in the pre-quarterfinal against the no. 2 seed and tournament favourite Mohd. El Shorbagy of Egypt. Vikram had Shorbagy on his back foot on several occasions, in fact Vikram had a 5-0 lead in the first game. Shorbagy know for his aggressive style of play did not relent and fought back to take the first game 9-7. Vikram continued with a game that comprised deception, floating lobs, medium paced drives and overhead smashes in to the front corners and every time when it appeared that Vikram was on his way to win the game, Shorbagy hung on to take it away from the grasp of Vikram. This happened in all the 3 games as Vikram went down fighting 9-7, 9-7, 9-7 34m. Earlier, in the round of 32, Vikram defeated Petrucci Camille from France fairly easily 9-3, 9-7, 9-1 35m while Aditya Jagtap who has had an impressive run so far and one who eligible for the World Juniors in 2 years could not match up with his more experienced opponent seeded 9/16 Herik Mustonen from Finland going down 0-9, 0-9, 6-9 in 32m.
The players have a few days off and are gearing up for the team championships which commences on august 2, 2008.

As the art market braces for a difficult year ahead, along comes news of a $500 million private sale that creates a reassuring sense of business as usual.
According to market insiders, Willem de Kooning's 1955 Abstract Expressionist painting "Interchanged" is now either the world's most expensive artwork or on par with Qatar's reported $300 million purchase in 2014 of the 1892 "Nafea Faa Ipoipo (When Will You Marry?)" by Paul Gauguin.
The buyer was the Chicago hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin, founder of Citadel, which manages more than $24 billion in assets, and the seller was the entertainment mogul David Geffen, owner of one of the world's most admired collections of postwar American art.
Mr. Griffin was said to have paid $300 million for the de Kooning and $200 million for the 1948 Jackson Pollock drip painting "Number 17A" in a transaction that was completed in the fall, Bloomberg News reported.
Both works have been on loan to the Art Institute of Chicago since September.
Mr. Griffin, 47, has a net worth of $7.6 billion, according to Forbes. Katie Spring, his spokeswoman at Citadel, confirmed in an email that the two paintings had been bought for $500 million, but she declined to specify their individual prices.
This blockbuster deal was first mentioned on Feb. 18 in the trade newsletter The Baer Faxt, which suggested that a "Midwest hedge fund collector" had paid about $500 million for Abstract Expressionist paintings by de Kooning and Pollock from a "West Coast collection."
Brett Gorvy, international head of contemporary art at Christie's, then used his Instagram account to identify the de Kooning as "Interchanged" ( which is also known as a "Interchange"), a "seminal masterpiece" by the New York School artist that sold at auction in 1989 for $20.7 million.
Mary Hoeveler, an art adviser in New York, said, "It's business as usual on a grand scale — the uber rich buying the most coveted works of art."
"Regardless of conditions, and sometimes because of them, the market always responds to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities," she added. "Masterpieces are a safe haven for wealth."
Ms. Hoeveler, like many professionals in the art trade, viewed the news of the $500 million transaction as a welcome counter to the downturn in auction sales so far this year, even though the purchase was made in 2015.
The Griffin acquisition also has symbolic value. Back in 1989, "Interchanged" was bought by the Mountain Tortoise Gallery in Tokyo for a $20.7 million at auction, at the time the highest price for a contemporary work of art. But that was only about a quarter of the $82.5 million paid the next year for Van Gogh's "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" at the high-point of the late-1980s art boom. Now this monumental de Kooning abstract is deemed equal to, if not more valuable than, such Post-Impressionist masterpieces.
Wendy Cromwell, an art adviser in New York, said: "That cycle ended and we have skipped on to the Abstract Expressionists. That is where the focus is right now. It's a natural evolution that comes with a younger generation of collector."
Many in the United States revere de Kooning, Pollock and Rothko as the Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo of postwar modernism.
Unfortunately for private collectors, virtually all the prime examples by these Abstract Expressionist masters are in, or promised to, museums.
Dealers said "Number 17A" was probably the last available large-scale Pollock from his most admired period, 1947 to 1950. The painting, which is three feet, eight inches wide, was one of three featured in a Life magazine article in August 1949 entitled, "Jackson Pollock: Is He the Greatest Living Painter in the United States?"
Killed in a car accident in 1956, Pollock might now seem to be regarded as the country's greatest dead painter. In 2011, the San Francisco collectors Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson bequeathed Pollock's majestic drip painting "Lucifer," dating from 1947, to the Anderson Collection at Stanford University. Dealers now value that work at as much as $500 million.
With museum-quality Pollocks rare on the market, collectors returned to the realities of the mainstream art trade on Wednesday at the ARCOmadrid fair in Spain. The event, now in its 35th year, is one of a group of what might be called second-tier contemporary art fairs, with price levels that can be more accessible to many collectors than those being asked by the megagalleries at Art Basel, Frieze or FIAC.
But this is a crowded marketplace. Art Cologne in Germany, Artissima in Turin, The Armory Show in New York, Art Brussels in Belgium, viennacontemporary in Austria and ARCOmadrid are all vying for a similar audience of wealthy, but not necessarily extremely wealthy, clients. All need to come up with something distinctive to persuade serious exhibitors and collectors to participate, particularly at a time of economic uncertainty.
One way of doing that is to pay for them. ARCOmadrid is organized by a consortium of local municipal bodies in the Spanish capital that this year allocated the fair a budget of 4.5 million euros, about $5 million. The fair was thus able to finance visits from about 400 collectors, curators and "international influencers," and offer moderately priced or even free booths to exhibitors.
The Paris dealer Chantal Crousel, who exhibited at the first edition of ARCO in 1982, was one of 33 galleries allotted free spaces to present works by two of their artists, selected by the fair's curators to celebrate the 35th anniversary.
"The fair has become a lot more open and international," said Ms. Crousel, who was showing Mona Hatoum and Danh Vo. "The city's museums give a point of reference, and people from abroad love to come to Madrid."
Works by Mr. Vo, a Vietnamese-born Danish artist who represented Denmark at last year's Venice Biennale, continue to be on collectors' shopping lists. One of his 2011-2014 "We the People" copper sculptures, derived from a drapery section of the Statue of Liberty, sold at ARCO's Wednesday preview for €174,000 to a Spanish client and a gold-painted Corona beer cardboard-box sculpture was bought by a Belgian for €70,000.
The fair, held as usual in the Feria de Madrid exhibition center on the outskirts of the city, featured 221 galleries from 27 countries and was expected to have attracted 100,000 visitors by the time it closed on Sunday.
Most galleries in the main body of the fair, even if they were not from Spain, featured works by Spanish-speaking artists. Lisson Gallery of London, for example, sold two brightly colored 2010 fabric sculptures by the Spanish artist Angela de la Cruz, priced between 20,000 and 50,000 pounds, or $27,000 and $69,700.
Sales were sporadic, though, and there was a conspicuous lack of urgency in the way that visitors browsed on preview day. There was, however, plenty of commercial action at the booth of the Berlin gallery Crone, which was showing works by young Cuban artists.
Notable for their technical innovation and political engagement — and for 20 sales at the preview on Wednesday to a range of international buyers — the Crone sales included 18 drawings made by Kelvin López, using a fake official rubber stamp, of houses appropriated by the former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Ten of these "This Is Your House Fidel" drawings sold for €800 each. Two of Rachel Valdés's mirror installations, "Infinite Composition," from an edition of five, have respectively sold to a German collector and the Cuban state for €100,000 each. Ms. Valdés, who, like Mr. López, lives in Havana, is just 25.
"With the opening up of Cuba, collectors are looking for opportunities," said the New York adviser Erica Barrish, who was one of the fair's 400 invited guests. "They're always looking to new regions. Something similar happened in China."
These transactions might seem small in light of the money that has been paid for those works by the two Abstract Expressionist painters. But they do show that there is still some life left in the market for contemporary art.

Hello all, Aaron the Webguy here, posting on behalf on Alexie. Right now, she is busy in the editing process of NOLA, her next book in the Haunted Series. She is hard at work to get it out to all of you a.s.a.p.
So instead of thoughtful commentary or a scary story I thought to post these...
What are Spooky Links? They are ghosts taken in photographs, or something paranormal perhaps in the background on a movie set, or even just something that makes me go, "Wait what was that?" So here goes!
This next one I imagine many of you have seen before, but it still gives me the chills.
This movie was directed by Leonard Nimoy surprisingly. Speaking of Leonard Nimoy...
K, this next one starts strong but seems to end with a student film reenactment if I would venture a guess. Still I found it interesting being a resident of Illinois.
Something is photo-bombing in the background.
Alright that last one gave me the creeps. So this is a wrap as they say. Updates on NOLA will be posted as we know them. Until then, please share your own Spooky Links in the comments and have a wonderful day.

Confuse, copy, or create?
This article writen by me was published on Hindu Business line's bloncampus.com. Link (Requires log in)
When your boss tells you to 'benchmark' your proposal for improving customer stickiness on your e-commerce portal, you may think she is encouraging you to go ahead. She might well be doing so. Chances are that she might not be. Perhaps she just doesn't want to commit herself either way. What better way than this to procrastinate?
The term benchmarking has other uses too. A customer may ask its vendor to benchmark its 'on-time performance' against others. The customer buys some time or leverage as the vendor gets busy figuring out ways to collect information on existing benchmarks.
But a more 'paying' way is to use benchmarking data for marketing purposes. Most lay people can't figure out difference between a 99% on-time and a 98% on-time performance. Interpreted correctly, the latter is two times worse than the former. With 98% performance you are likely to miss 2 out of 100 instances as compared to missing 1 out of 100 instances in case of 99% on-time performance. Since we are conditioned to believe that both 98% and 99% 'scores' are very good, most customers won't discern the difference. In some cases what is meant by '100%' is not defined. Marketing campaigns of consumer products like toothpastes and deo products use 'benchmarking' in quite innovative ways.
Benchmarks for comparing performance of mobiles or PCs are designed to approximate some real life use scenarios. These have to be subjective. Most consumers are not in a position to determine what the benchmark information means for them.
Benchmarking is more likely to obscure than to reveal.
Benchmarking is meant to be used as a tool to improve quality, cut costs, or avoid reinventing what is known. You gather industry data on a particular product or service parameter or a process. You find the best in class case (the benchmark) and performance of other industry players. You compare it with your data. You then draw up action plans to match the industry benchmarks or better them. This is the place where copying 'best practices' in industry might help you. You are in for some serious work.
Extensive and ongoing benchmarking can help you to you understand your position in the market. It can help you optimize costs. It can help you to learn something from outside.
You need to keep in mind that meeting or bettering some industry benchmarks will still leave your company at around industry average (mediocre in other words). In order to grow and succeed, your company will have to meet or beat most industry benchmarks and create entirely new benchmarks of your own. Depending on your organization's strengths, you can aim to create benchmarks in one or more areas like customer care, cost of ownership, ease of switching to your offering, or product features. Your new benchmarks must make sense to your target customers. For example, consider how Motorola created a range of mobile phones – Moto E, G, and X -which offered sensible products at different price points. It avoided competing on only product specifications or features like speed or mega pixels. It also avoided competing purely on price.
Coming back to your boss, you may have to tell her that you need to 'prototype' your solution in order to 'benchmark' it and hope that this somehow makes her more willing to think and make some decisions.

How can it be possible for shiny happy family blogger families to need to get away from each other? And by that I mean every combination of away from each other.
This Summer I'm finding out how important it can be. The kids are away on a two week camp as I write this. Let me repeat that, the kids are away on two-week camp as I write this 🙂 So it's no revelation that this is a good thing. But I'd like to sell the idea that this is an excellent get-in-your head space time and it is non-negotiable. I for one have felt guilty about wanting escape from everybody, but Lorena has always given me a kick up the arse and told me to bugger off in the nicest possible way.
So while the boys have been away me and Lorena have had two weeks of student living (eating cornflakes while watching Netflix), mixed with soem Guardian reading middle class loveliness (going for some cool tapas nights in La Coruna and Salamanca and having a night or two on the town).
The kids have been in a Spanish camp in Salamanca and we've had barely any contact with them, which I think is the point isn't it? Danny's had a stomach upset and I get the odd Instagram message from Tommy, but he's not bothered about staying in touch, which means they're having a great time.
Over the years we've done other breaks as well, In fact this Summer me and the boys went to visit family in the UK and Lorena went to see an aunt in Murcia. We had a packed itinerary and the boys had to be on their toes. Tommy was the map reader and we had to get over a couple of moments where I did NOT act like father of year. Danny was really confident and independent and generally the three of us hung pretty well.
Both me and Lorena have holidays with friends well, I've visited friends in Vietnam and way back when the kids were babies I visited Syria and Lebanon, Lorena has been to Turkey and again, back in the day, to Brussels.
The thing is what all the combinations had in common is that you can re-connect with people differently and also re-connect with yourself. Of course if you can't get away for any length of time just try and make a smaller space, it can be going down the pub with your mates (my usual choice) or doing a regular hobby with friends, in Lorena's case basketball and netball and in my case the now admittedly defunct Dragon Boating.
Anyway, don't take my word for it, have look at the boys blog entries on this year's Summer camp.
Tommy's Summer Camp
Hi my name is Tommy. I went to Salamanca in Spain to attend to a two week summer camp. while I was there we visited unforgettable places on excursions that happened two times a week , we also visited the pool four times a week there was ping pong tables, a big pool, baby pool and a cafe. On the first excursion we went to a river and swam for five hours.
The second excursion we drove to the top of a mountain and visited the old ruins of a town. The third excursion we went to a a man made lake and had lots of fun playing football, volley ball, basket ball and of course swimming. the last excursion that I did not go to was visiting a zoo in Madrid. overall I had lots of fun and made lots of friends that I keep in touch with daily.
The classes were five hours a day and they got boring after two hours we had a half an hour break after three hours. For the first hour we would do grammar and the rest of the time we would do our project. The projects where picked by everyone in the class but that took a lot of arguing over which one to pick,we swapped projects every week and the ones I did were writing a story about the Plaza Mayor and we'd traveled back in time to when it was being built that wasn't my favorite one, my favorite one was recycling where we built stuff using recycled equipment.
I made lots of friends mostly from other countries like Germany , France , Antigua , USA and some from Spain. I keep in touch with them every day through messages and social media. i had a great time on all the excursions and great time with my teachers.
Danny's Summer Camp
I went to a camp in Salamanca called Enforex you do class in the morning and in the evening you do activities you also get to go on excursions. then you get to go to the swimming pool you get to go to the river as well.
I didn't enjoy one activity which was a horror game. The game was that you had to find a phone number and call it.I stopped after the first number because it was too scary!!! I liked it when we played cops and robbers!!!
we also played board games but I really do any thing.There was also tournaments such as football, table football, basketball, ping pong.
On the last day my mum and dad forgot me and was really looking forward to getting home but unfortunately they forgot me :(.

Corby Glen fund-raiser Penny will run her 12th London Marathon despite skiing accident
A Corby Glen fund-raiser will take part in her 12th London Marathon on Sunday, despite injuring her shoulder in a skiing accident last month.
Penny Hedley Lewis was unsure she would be able to take part in the run after the accident but now says she is 100 per cent sure she will be on the starting line.
Penny, who took part in her first London Marathon in 2006 aged 57, is raising money for the Red Cross. She is the president of the Lincolnshire branch and has raised money for the charity for many years.
Penny told the Journal: "I had a stupid collision, skiing in mid-March. A total blip and misjudgement and my left collarbone hit a pair of skis. There was heavy bruising and I was in a sling from March 20 for three weeks – but I had continued to ski all the week. It happened day one and was totally my fault.
"I was out of the sling a week ago and am back on track, thankfully.
"So next Sunday is a little daunting as I am short of miles on the road. Can I do the distance? It is so annoying as all was going really well with training. I did the Grantham half-marathon in filthy weather. I walked and did a turbo bike while in the sling, but my legs are fine and I am just so relieved I did not hurt them and that it was a left arm injury, not my right. So perhaps I got away with it.
"This year is my 12th London Marathon so even if I finish walking I will get there – I hope. Last year I did four hours 21 minutes and my deadline is five hours so I sincerely hope I can get within five hours."
