About this Famous Person
Michelle OBAMA
Wife of the 44th and current President of the United States, Barack Obama, and the first African-American First Lady of the United States
Source : Tim DOWLING
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Fraser Robinson III, a city water plant employee and Democratic precinct captain, and Marian (née Shields), a secretary at Spiegel's catalog store. Her mother was a full-time homemaker until Michelle entered high school. The Robinson and Shields families can trace their roots to pre-Civil War African Americans in the American South. Specifically, she is descended from the Gullah people of South Carolina's Lowcountry region. Her paternal great-great grandfather, Jim Robinson, was an American slave on Friendfield Plantation in the state of South Carolina, where some of her paternal family still reside. Her maternal great-great-great-grandmother, Melvinia Shields, also a slave, became pregnant by a white man. His name and the nature of their union have been lost. She gave birth to Michelle's biracial maternal great-great-grandfather, Dolphus T. Shields. Some of her distant ancestry also includes Irish and other European roots. In addition, her cousin is the Jewish Rabbi Capers Funnye.
Michelle grew up in a two-story house on Euclid Street in Chicago's South Shore community area. Her parents rented a small apartment on the house's second floor from her great-aunt, who lived downstairs. She was raised in what she describes as a "conventional" home, with "the mother at home, the father works, you have dinner around the table". The family entertained together by playing games such as Monopoly and by reading. They attended services at nearby South Shore Methodist Church. The Robinsons used to vacation in a rustic cabin in White Cloud, Michigan. She and her 21-month older brother, Craig, skipped the second grade. Her brother is now the men's basketball coach at Oregon State University. By sixth grade, Michelle joined a gifted class at Bryn Mawr Elementary School (later renamed Bouchet Academy).

It's sometimes tough for IT professionals to provide good customer service. It's not because they don't want to, but because IT organizations tend to stress efficiency over empathy.
Several months ago I attended a presentation by Tom Pierce, an ITIL practitioner with 23 years of experience who now works for AT&T. In discussing why the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) doesn't directly address customer service, Pierce said many IT pros are uncomfortable with the vague and somewhat emotional nature of customer service. He compared some ITIL practitioners to a new restaurant owner who creates a plan for how to replace his stove if it fails before he begins building relationships with customers. Not all IT pros engage help desk users in conversation, he said.
Some IT help desks are more customer-centric than others, of course. When I interviewed Steven Zink, Ph.D., vice president of Information Technology and dean of University Libraries at the University of Nevada, Reno, he told me about an unusual blend of roles in which the IT help desk is combined with the reference desk in the main university library and librarians and IT staffers work side-by-side.
It's part of a larger practice of IT staff working within business units that Zink said has worked well for the university. In the case of the help desk:
If you think about a library, librarians are very techie but also very service oriented. Our librarians are exposed very intentionally, and have been for 15 years, to this intermingling of cultures. I've often said our help desk at the university would never be able to work for an uncaring IT help desk in the private sector. ... Librarians listen very well and will do anything to get an answer. The last thing they would say is, "I'm sorry. I'm going to send you a manual." In libraries, the reference desk is very high on the status. It's just the opposite in IT organizations. We have movement out of both, both laterally and vertically. It was a grand experiment that's worked out very well.
Writing on his Mysimpleprocesses blog, Glenn Remoreras says creating a customer-centric IT services culture is neither quick nor easy. He writes:
... You don't create culture by merely creating or declaring mission statements and rules. You don't create culture by simply implementing new applications and best practices copied from other successful IT organizations. Culture happens through consistent behavior over time embedded and encouraged by leaders.

Community and Social Events
Many who come to live at Sevenoaks Place and Lambarde Cottages choose to join in a variety of social activities including coffee mornings, lunches and outings. There is also a strong tradition of residents organising their own fundraising events for worthy causes.
The Burlington Room at Sevenoaks Place is available to all residents of both sets of properties. A large bright room, it is equipped with tables, chairs, armchairs, books and games, and there is also a small kitchen. The residents hold a weekly coffee morning, regular parties and social events, and the room is also available for private functions with their families or friends. A monthly lunch and a Christmas lunch are provided by the catering team at Sevenoaks School. During the summer months, residents also socialise in the gardens of Sevenoaks Place.
I enjoy living here and I like the community environment because when you don't work you don't meet people to make friends.
The Trustees organise an annual outing and a social evening with the residents. Recent excursions include a day trip to Ypres and the First World War battlefields; Buckingham Palace; the London Eye; a day in Brighton and a day in France.
An informal gathering of Trustees and residents takes place in November to mark the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, who granted a charter to the school and almshouses in 1560 after visiting the area the previous year. Her accession day of 17 November was once an annual national celebration, and was marked in the Sevenoaks almshouses with food and drink. This custom died out during the eighteenth century, but we still celebrate the event.
Paid for Bread and Beer for the poor people in the Row on the 17th Day of November last.
Warden's Account Book for the Free School and Almshouses, 1709
While there is no obligation to join in with any group activities, all such occasions are open to everyone living in Sevenoaks Place and Lambarde Cottages.

Fast food chain McDonald's plans to hire over 8,000 first-time workers and young people in the UK over the next three years.
The US-based corporation said more than seven out of ten of its new hires will be under-25s and the other jobs will be shared among first-time workers.
The move, which coincides with the firm's 40th anniversary in the UK, is part of a growth and investment programme.
"I'm incredibly proud of the investments we have been able to make and how our franchisees and employees are at the heart of hundreds of communities across the UK," said Jill McDonald, chief executive of McDonald's UK.
"By taking a responsible and long-term approach we have been able to support jobs for local people and create opportunities for UK-based businesses."
The plan means McDonald's, which has 1,200 restaurants across the country, will increase its headcount to 100,000 after the new jobs are filled.
There were more than 850,000 young people out of work in the UK in the three months to April, according to the Office for National Statistics. The country's youth unemployment rate is 18.5%.
Chancellor George Osborne welcomed the expansion programme and said the a key part of government's long-term economic plan is to create jobs.
"That means creating the right conditions for successful companies to invest and expand their workforce," Osborne said.
"Every new person in work means a brighter future and more economic security for them and their family."

Singing in the Rain
So, I came out of the house and was on my way to the studio when this happened.
Look at that rain! It has been pretty dry here and the rain has been spotty and short lived. DH said it was like sitting under a waterfall.
So we took full advantage of being able to sit outside, on our deck, under our new roof, in the rain. Can you see where the wet and dry is? One of our puppies didn't notice the difference until she wandered out into the rain. She jumped, startled, and hurried back into the dry, shaking all that wet stuff off as she went. So fun was had by all.
Then, when the rain stopped it was off to the studio to get some sewing in. The first thing I did was complete the applique on the last Henrietta Whiskers block. I am not embroidering the eyes on any of the blocks as I plan to use crystals but they will not be put on until after the quilt is quilted. I really like a little sparkle on wall quilts and this one will be hanging in the dining room come Fall.
And here is my Carol Doak Mystery Block for July, all sewn and pressed. And, since she is traveling, she has already given us the August block. However, I am putting it a little further down the "to do" list in the hope I can get some other things done.
The last thing I worked on today is the beginning of my Color Challenge for July. This is a very different project for me but so far I am really excited about it. I won't share what it will be until I get a little further along but it is not a quilt but will be quilted. How's that for an enigma?
Now that I think of it, this has been a really great day. I got everything done in the house I planned to do, I had a really nice call from my mother, lunch out with DH, fun in the rain under the roof, and progress in the studio. Very nice.

This is a classy love story, full of atmospheric writing and an unusual romance set in a wind-blasted place, which is full of unexpectedly beautiful creatures – such as horses made of mist and water – and a stormy tale of two damaged people who heal when they come together.
Elsa Beletti, suffering after the death of her father in a lightning storm, seeks a fresh start and chooses somewhere remote and wild to cut herself off from the world. Thunderstown – a town with too many legends for anyone to remember them all. A town with secrets of its own and a people forever battling with the elements.
Elsa meets a strange local boy, living outcast and wild in the hills. What she doesn't expect is that in Thunderstown, everyone believes the weather is alive – they fear the mountains to be slumbering gods and floods to be a vengeance.
Finn tells her he is part man, part weather and he is similarly feared. But Elsa, who has always looked at clouds as if they are a landscape that should be explored, not only believes him and isn't afraid, but falls in love. But can she be safe with a man who believes he is only half-human?
The idea of someone being taken over by magic is a familiar theme to Ali Shaw. His debut, 'The Girl with the Glass Feet' was up for many awards, winning the Desmond Elliott prize. So this has been a long-awaited second novel for me.
I know my friend Annabel loved it and she always does brilliant reviews, so read her views here
Ali Shaw weaves his magical elements with skill and understanding. Is Finn really only made of weather? Or is everyone partly a victim of the elements? Ice makes him feel down, anger causes lightning strong enough to hurt people? It's up to you what you believe.
This seemed less melancholy than his debut, but takes you on a similar journey of the imagination, with people escaping their pasts into landscape. When Finn is happy little wisps of cloud appear around his head. When the couple make love there are rainbows.
And who can resist a hero who insists he is a human form of a thunderstorm?
One of the things I particularly love is the sense of the town, nestling between barren mountains, full of small-town superstition and prejudice, its townsfolk looking everywhere for someone to blame for the harshness of their lives.
You can feel the rocks where grass should be. The wind that feels not like one, but many, 'each wrestling to claim its own space and territory'.
There is a local culler, who is called upon when weather-filled animals intrude on the town – as if with enough determination they can all be exterminated and the town freed from being at the mercy of the elements.
Daniel, the culler, forms another thread of the romance of the story, which keeps the tangible elements ticking along with a good pace alongside the mystery and magic.
And I can certainly find time in my schedule for a book that features sunbeams that turn into birds. There is definitely something very magical about Ali Shaw's writing.
I am delighted to say that Ali Shaw is soon coming to Abingdon as a guest of Abingdon Writers.
Abingdon is lucky to have such a lively supportive group that meets regularly for chat and critique and the group is actively seeking new members. So if you want to find out what they are all about, or hear Ali Shaw discussing his work, it would be great to see you there. We have tickets at Mostly Books.

IBD Partners - Patients helping patients
IBD Partners is an ambitious program from the Foundation designed to improve the quality of life for patients living with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) through research and education. We have enrolled 14,000 adults and over 700 kids and teens in an online registry to obtain a better understanding of issues facing IBD patients, how they are functioning, what they eat, and how they receive treatment in different areas of the country. We use this network to provide topics for patients to discuss with their physicians and to help improve their quality of life.
Patient participation guidelines
IBD Partners is a research initiative, not a fundraising effort. By joining, you will not be asked for monetary contributions—we only ask that you complete a short online survey twice a year on your health history.
To be eligible, you must have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. If you choose to participate, we will ask you to provide detailed information about your disease and treatment. Then, we will contact you every three months to update you on the program's progress and to provide you with the latest information about IBD. In addition, every six months we will ask you to update your medical information. From time to time, we may also let you know about new research studies for which you might be eligible. It is completely up to you to participate in these studies.
Completing the initial confidential online survey should only take 20-30 minutes. The survey can be done all at once or over time—it does not have to be done in one sitting. The survey is implemented by the the Foundation Data Management Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Your email address will be tied to your survey so we can contact you in the future when it is time for a follow-up. Your information is kept completely confidential on UNC's secure servers, and is only accessible through your unique email address.
All questions are optional and you can withdraw from the study at any time. We will not publicly associate you with any responses in any reports of survey results or release your information to others without your permission. There is no cost to participate and there is no compensation for taking the survey.
If you are a patient living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, we hope you will consider helping us. We believe this project has excellent long-term potential to improve our understanding of the impact of these diseases. If you are not a patient, please pass along this information about IBD Partners to a loved one or friend living with IBD who may want to contribute to research aimed at improving the quality of life of IBD patients.
For researchers interested in the data
We anticipate that IBD Partners will provide a vehicle for a number of ancillary studies, including secondary data analyses, supplemental Internet studies, e.g., educational interventions, biospecimen collection and chart reviews. The registry may also be used as a recruitment tool for independent studies.
Access to this information is restricted to the IBD research community. To register as a researcher, please go to IBD Partners and complete a short form.

Proposals Selected for the Sesquicentennial Celebration Culminating Research Symposia
Proposals Selected for the Sesquicentennial Celebration Culminating Research Symposia
Six teams have been awarded David Dodds Henry Lectureship Funds in support of the culminating research event of the University of Illinois' Sesquicentennial Celebration. The symposia will highlight Illinois strengths in interdisciplinary research, exploring issues as diverse as human health, race and justice, the arts and the humanities, agriculture and the environment, and the legacy of the land-grant institution.
"The selected proposals reflect the breadth of scholarship and inquiry at Illinois," said Peter Schiffer, Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "It's exciting to conclude our celebration of 150 years of research excellence with an eye toward the future."
There were 24 total submissions. A five-member committee of senior faculty members evaluated proposals on scholarly merit, relevance to societal needs, and potential interest to campus and the broader academic community, and selected the following proposals:
150th Celebration Concluding Symposia
Advancing Food–Energy–Water System Resilience in Agriculture Dominated Watersheds Through a Regional Resource Recovery Network
Food, energy, and water systems in agricultural regions are highly interconnected and sensitive to threats relating to increasing biomass production, water quality and supply, energy supply and cost, resource conservation, economic growth, and financial stability. This symposium will focus on developing resilience in agriculture through effective partnerships, best practices, and high-level strategy.
Civil and Environmental Engineering, Ximing Cai, PI
Death by Policing: Race, State Violence, and the Possibility of Justice
This symposium will explore the relationship between racialized deaths, policing, state violence, and justice in American society. It will also examine how such deaths occur and clarify how legal and social accountability for them is understood, assigned, or disavowed.
Latina/Latino Studies, Jonathan Inda, PI
Public Humanities
This symposium will focus on the central role that public arts and humanities play in a democratic society. Specific aspects of public life discussed will be affordances and limitations for public mindedness, the continued struggle to address structural racism, the affective dimensions of public life, and the importance of the public humanities.
Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership, Christopher Higgins, PI
Revolutionizing Brain Plasticity Through Advanced Science, Engineering, and Medicine
Through scientific discovery and technological innovation, this interdisciplinary symposium explores research related to brain plasticity and its neurobiological foundations.
Psychology, Aron Barbey, PI

English, Susan Koshy, PI
Uniting Infection Biology for One Health
This symposium will focus on urgent and critical threats to human health like emerging infectious diseases in changing environments, epidemic outbreaks, and antimicrobial resistance.
Pathobiology, Rebecca Smith, PI
The symposia will occur simultaneously on April 10-12, 2018 and will include:
- A joint evening welcome reception for all symposia, with a single prominent keynote speaker to kick off the event
- Topic-specific discussions (separately, in each symposium)
- A joint plenary session highlighting the strengths of interdisciplinary research in higher education and how the interdisciplinary environment fosters exceptional scholarship

Caged king
Gir's lion population is on the rise, but political opposition to relocating some animals to MP poses a long-term threat to their future, reports Prasad Nichenametla.india Updated: May 13, 2010 01:31 IST
Hindustan Times
"I promised villagers near Gir that lions would not be sent outside the state," Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said last Sunday at a function to release the lion census, which brought happy tidings.
The Asiatic lion (panthera leo persica) population in the state, which the previous census in 2005 had estimated at 359, had grown to 411.
But that was where the good news ended.
"Lions are part of our heritage," Modi added, stubbornly sticking to his stand of not allowing 12 lions from Gujarat's Gir forest – its last natural habitat – to be relocated to Madhya Pradesh.
The Union environment ministry had planned a lion project in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno Palpur, 450 km north of Bhopal, but this is unlikely to materialise soon as the issue has become enmeshed with regional sentiments.
Subliminally, Modi has linked the issue with his political plank – of protecting "Gujarati asmita (pride)". Thus, a conservation issue has got politicised, and the plan to gradually bring the Asiatic lion out of the endangered list has been nipped in the bud.
Incidentally, both MP and Gujarat are ruled the same party – the BJP.
But the growing lion population has stretched the 1,412 sq. km Gir to its limits. Gir officials say Bruhad or Greater Gir can accommodate 500 animals, but according to wildlife conservationists, even the present population is too high.
With weaker and younger males driven out by stronger ones, several lions have strayed into coastal areas and close to towns such as Rajkot.
The 2010 census shows 74 lions have settled outside the protected area, creating concerns about man-lion conflicts.
"The Maldharis in Gir forests and adjacent villages have adapted to the lions' presence for centuries. But we cannot expect the same from villages or towns where it is proposed to shift them," says Kausik Banerjee, senior research fellow, WII.
"Gujarat says Kuno Palpur is close to Ranthambore (in Rajasthan), which has tigers, and, hence, the lions will be in danger. If that is the case, how did lions come to India and coexist with tigers?" asks Ravi Chellam, country director, Wildlife Conservation Society of India.
On the basis of Chellam's report, Kuno Palpur was finalised as the proposed second home for the lion.
"There is no scientific basis for not shifting a handful of lions out of the 411 that currently live in the wild," says Chellam, who was earlier with the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun.
J.S. Chauhan, chief conservator of forests, Bhopal, in charge of the lion project in Kuno Palpur, adds: "If the sticking point is the brand 'Gujarat', let us call them 'Gujarat Gir lions' instead of 'Asiatic lions'. They may be in Madhya Pradesh but they will still be Gujarati lions."
Modi is unconvinced. He says: "At a time when the population of tigers is dwindling in the country, lions are growing in the state thanks to the ecology provided by the locals – the cowherd community called Maldharis. Gir is the best-protected sanctuary in the country, maybe even the world."
But experts aren't buying this line. "It is not for one individual to decide the fate of a species. Modi can be a champion of Gujarati asmita but by not allowing lions outside the state, he will become a champion of the extinction of a wonderful species," says Faiyaz Ahmed Khudsar, convener, Biodiversity Conservation Trust of India.
Based on a public interest petition from non-governmental organisations in 2005, the matter is now before the Supreme Court.
Senior forest officials and wild life experts in Gujarat agree in private that it is politics that is coming in the way of moving the lions.
"There is no harm in parting with a few lions. It's nothing but politics, which is not sparing even the wild animals in the country," a very senior official in Gujarat forest department tells Hindustan Times.
At the ground level, there is a business angle at work as well. Locals fear that Gir forest will lose its attraction as a tourist destination if its status as the last natural habitat of the Asiatic lion goes.
"Once that special tag is gone, who will care (about this place)? The sentiment to protect the lion will slowly fade in these local communities also," a forest officer says.
"Gujarat has done a good job but what we need is another living place for the animal far away from Gir -- like the past lion habitats in Madhya Pradesh or somewhere else," adds Divyabhanu Singh Chavda, member, National Wildlife Board, and president, board of trustees, World Wide Fund for Nature.
The arguments and counter-arguments flow back and forth. The king of Gir forest, meanwhile, remains caught in a web of politics.

The Federal Reserve, in its Beige Book economic summation, released at 2:00 PM (EST), suggested that economic activity was continuing to increase at a modest to moderate pace across the country, although there had been slight improvement in the outlook in recent weeks. The Beige Book is a Federal Reserve System publication of current economic conditions across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts. According to the central bank, the improvement was noted from October through mid-November. This publication is used by the lead bank to help formulate monetary policy at its upcoming FOMC meeting. The next FOMC gathering will be in mid-December. Expectations have been that the bank would raise interest rates at that time. The Beige Book did nothing to alter that forecast. As to the publication, it noted, that pre-holiday retail and auto spending trends were mixed. In other areas, many Districts reported growth in the transportation sector, little change in residential construction, slight gains in non-residential building, and steady loan demand. Also, employment growth was continuing at a modest to moderate pace, with labor tightness being experienced across many Districts. Wage growth, too, was modest or moderate, while pricing pressures, in general, now were strengthening. All in all, there were no material surprises in this report, with the stock market showing little reaction following its release. As before, the Dow Jones Industrial Average remained nicely higher, while the NASDAQ continued to trend lower.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

If there were an easy path to pop stardom, singer-songwriter Shawn Hook would have crossed it long ago. Instead, he traded the short shelf life of teen idol status for the steady mastery of his craft. The game plan paid off with Shawn's debut hit single, "Sound of Your Heart," which tore up Top 40 radio last year. That only set the table for bigger things to come: his Hollywood Records premiere EP, "My Side of Your Story," Shawn's most mature and musically adventurous work to date.
In its four songs the EP shows Shawn's flair for musical and emotional colors, grounded in irresistible pop panache. "With an EP you don't have a lot of time to give someone an impression of your work," says Shawn, who co-wrote each song. "I wanted to make sure my music was diverse. My tastes are diverse. So it's not one tone or one taste."
As the title implies, the EP explores relationships that tend to go off script. The EP's premiere single, "Reminding Me" (written by Shawn with Ethan Thompson and Jonas Jeberg, and produced by Stephen "Koz" Kozmeniuk) has already drawn national attention. The sensual ballad features Shawn in duet with Vanessa Hudgens, all grown up since her "High School Musical" days. The two clicked on the song and its steamy companion video.
"She was so confident and friendly," Shawn recalls. "Vanessa knows what she wants. Our first scene was the bedroom scene. We got comfortable with each other, and once you're shooting, you commit to the role."
Their chemistry similarly clicked with fans. The track has logged more than 10 million streams on Spotify and already hit the Top 20 in Shawn's native Canada.
"Good Days," produced by Jason Evigan, reflects nostalgia for a long-gone relationship, while "Never Let Me Let You Go" (produced by Ammar Malik, the Monsters & Strangerz and Kevin Snevely) brings a retro-Eurodance vibe to Shawn's tale of a stormy love affair.
The EP closes with the hard-edged "Dancin' in the Sky," co-written by Shawn, Joey Vitas, Ryan Tedder of One Republic and Noel Zancanella, who also produced the track. It picks up on the nostalgia theme, proposing a world much better than today's hot mess. Sound impossible? That's just how Shawn Hook rolls.
Raised in rural British Columbia, Shawn Hlookoff grew up far from the big city, but from an early age harbored big dreams. He studied piano as a kid, later making his first attempts at songwriting. His high school music teacher changed the course of Shawn's musical life by forcing him to learn a new instrument: the trombone.
"He wanted to broaden my range," Shawn remembers. "I ended up getting into jazz combos, seeing amazing jazz bands, going to jazz clinics. It rounded me out as a musician."
Passing on the opportunity to work in the family business, Shawn instead bet on himself. He changed his name for starters to something more apropos: Hook. "When I first started writing I focused on hooks," he says. "A hook is the basis. Once you have it, you can form the story around it. We all sing karaoke waiting for the hook."
With no manager and no prospects, he went all in on his career. "I had no back-up plan," he recalls. "I played open mic shows every night. I wrote a song a day. I knew I had to get better every day."
Shawn eventually recorded and produced his own debut album in 2004. That led to signing with his longtime manager, Pierre Tremblay, and shifting the focus to the U.S. market. Shortly after, Shawn signed with Freeform as a staff songwriter. He had his original compositions featured on several Freeform and ABC network shows, including "General Hospital."
From there he made the move to artist. He had several high-charting hit singles in Canada off his album, "Cosmonaut and the Girl," with "Sound of Your Heart" becoming a Top 30 hit across North America. He toured the U.S., Canada and Europe with Lindsay Stirling and Marianas Trench, and also signed with Hollywood Records/Universal Music Canada.
"They are a great company," he says of his new label. "Typically labels make promises that never happen. Here they've been patient with me. When I first sat down with them, they asked me what kind of record I want to make."
With the release of new EP and single, Shawn has been seizing the moment, appearing on NBC's "Today" (singing "Reminding Me" live with Vanessa Hudgens) and getting ready to bring "My Side of Your Story" to the world.
It's a story ready to be told.
"Music does bring people together," Shawn says. "There's that affirmation moment when you look out at a crowd and see such a diversity among the people. You don't know what divides them, but you do know what unites them: Music."

What Is The Future Of The Tampa Bay Rays?
Wednesday November 30, 2011
Sam Evans: Ever since the Rays organization eliminated mistakes from their front office, and combined traditional scouting with advanced numbers, they have produced a winning baseball team in the hardest division in baseball. Unfortunately for the Rays, nobody in Tampa Bay noticed. The Rays have only finished in the top-ten in attendance in the AL twice in their fourteen years of existence. Tampa Bay has the ugliest ballpark in baseball, and now the only question is: How long will they be able to stay there?
What the Rays have done in the last five years is extremely impressive. They have won the division twice and won the wild card once in the last five years despite having the second-lowest payroll in all of baseball. The Rays have discovered market inefficiencies and taken advantage of them. For example, after the 2010 season, the Rays let their top relief pitchers leave in free agency, and they not only received draft compensation, but they easily replaced them in 2011. Also, signing young talented players to long-term deals has been a huge factor in their success. Overall, the Rays have found ways
The Rays have no reason to worry about their on-field product. The team is 368-260 in the last five years, and they show no signs of stopping their pace. They have more pitching depth than almost any other team in baseball, and Evan Longoria is signed through 2016 in what is one of the most team-friendly contracts in all of baseball. Despite having a winning ballclub for four straight years, the Rays are barely filling half of the stadium's capacity per game.
Low attendances lead to a low payroll, and while the Rays would certainly like a larger payroll, they have still managed to be competitive within the AL East. The new CBA will hurt the teams with the lower payrolls around the league, but it will hit the Rays especially hard. They will no longer be able to take chances on international free agents for a low-cost and they will still be competing with the Red Sox and Yankees revenues.
The main contributor to the Rays low attendance has been the stadium. Tropicana Field is, by far, the worst stadium in baseball. It is the only domed stadium in baseball that is not retractable. The blueprint for the stadium was not well thought out, as evidenced in the catwalks that hang down from the ceiling. The bullpen is are almost nonexistent, and the interior design is the worst in baseball. Not to mention, the ballpark is not at the center of the city's population unlike most other ballparks in baseball.
After the 2011 postseason, Rays owner Stuart Sternberg said that he was disappointed about the future of baseball in Tampa Bay. That is a very bad sign for Rays fans. Sternberg is not a bad owner, and has shown dedication to making the Rays a more popular franchise in Tampa Bay. The Rays have tried everything to get fans to come to the ballpark, from Vuvezelas to a touch tank to a new enlarged scoreboard. Sadly, none of those techniques have worked to this day.
The Rays technically are signed through 2027 according to St. Petersburg mayor Bill Foster. This contract that the Rays have with the city states that the Rays cannot enter discussions with other communities. However, with the right lawyer, the Rays would be able to escape this lease agreement. If the Rays can't find a place to build a stadium in South Florida, then there are many cities that would love to host a Major League franchise. If the Rays are forced to move, then Las Vegas is the perfect fit. It is very sad to watch a team not be able to sell out a game in the ALDS.
I really feel bad for those devoted Rays fans. Living in Seattle, I had to go through the process of losing our hometown basketball team, the Sonics. It was a very similar situation where you could sort of sense the relocation coming. The stadium was not up to par, and the league was impatient. I'm not sure if baseball will ever thrive in Tampa Bay, but I am definitely rooting for this organization to find a way to boost attendances and keep their team in Tampa.

Hello Sam,
"However, with the right lawyer, the Rays would be able to escape this lease agreement."
With respect, if Sternberg thought he could easily escape it or void it, he almost certainly would have done so – certainly after the last stadium proposal (at the old Al Lang Field) crashed and burned.
The Fruitdome is, of course, the absolute worst in the majors, no question. It's like a giant rec room, and a pretty sterile one at that. It's not doing the Rays any favors. St. Pete built it in the 80's, hoping that "they will come." But they hedged their bets by making it a bland multi-purpose dome, and ended up with the worst of all worlds: a giant tank no pro sports team wants to play in.
But the Rays' problems go much deeper than that. The fact that they have been highly competitive for the last four seasons and yet their attendance has barely budged (in fact it dropped by 300K this season) suggests as much. Winning does more than anything to build a fan base, consistent winning, and yet it's not working well in Tampa: there just are not that many Rays fans. The reality is that Florida is an inherently poor market for pro sports in general, and baseball in particular: too many people are from somewhere else, and there are too many other entertainment/recreation options year round. That was going to be a big hurdle to surmount (and I remain skeptical that the Marlins will surmount it with their new park), but the Rays shot themselves in the foot repeatedly under their last owner, Vince Naimoli, who managed to alienate almost everyone in Tampa who might have been willing to be a fan with an endless succession of offensive and stupid moves and comments. Naimoli's gone, but the bitterness remains. A new ballpark, no matter how well designed and located, won't fix that.
Sadly, I fear the Rays' long-term solution is almost certainly going to require a move, probably out of state. Sternberg might not be able to void the contract, but if Selig can arrange for him to take over the Mets, an MLB receivership of the team might be able to get away with it, though not without keeping a lot of lawyers well employed. I'll be surprised, to be honest, if the Rays are still in St. Pete five years from now. It's a shame, because it is finally an organization that deserves a better fanbase (and stadium). Perhaps it will find it in Portland, Charlotte, or San Antonio.
Hi Sam,
Yes – if the hope is to stay in Florida, Orlando is the obvious destination.
I'm still not sure it's ideal territory for MLB. But that might be the first place the Rays and MLB look if they can't get anything done in Tampa/St. Pete.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle will appear together on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in May, as the TV chat show queen nears the end of her 25-year reign.
The White House and publicists for the daily TV show said on Tuesday the Obamas would tape their appearance in Chicago on April 27, and the show will air on May 2.
Publicists said it would be the Obamas' first joint appearance on "Oprah" since 2006.
Winfrey, regarded as the most influential woman on U.S. television, campaigned publicly for Obama in his 2008 run for the White House and helped raise millions of dollars for his campaign.
She has interviewed Obama several times in the past, both before and after his election.
Winfrey announced last year that she would end her popular syndicated TV show, which airs in some 140 countries, in order to focus on her new cable TV channel OWN, which launched in January. The last original episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will air on May 25.

Double Homicide in Houston County | Crime
Two men are dead after an apparent double homicide in Houston County.
The Houston County Sheriff's Office learned that the two were shot and killed at a Chadwick Road house, according to a release.
The sheriff's office believes the two men were shot at the residence and then dropped off at a different location.
After responding to the call at 5 a.m., they found the bodies around 12:30 p.m. Monday in a wooded area near Highway 41/49 and North Houston Lake Road.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is assisting the sheriff's office at that scene. Rodney Wall with the GBI office in Perry says the bodies were found in a remote location of the woods, too far from the road to be seen.
Deputies have one person in custody related to the crime, but the investigators are still pursuing leads in the case.
Neighbors told 13WMAZ several people lived in the house, mostly young men. One neighbor says she has heard gunshots coming from the home several times since the group moved in about a year ago.
Tax records show the house belongs to a woman in Colorado, but 13WMAZ could not reach her for comment.
If you have any information, you can call the Houston County Sheriff's Office at 478-542-2085 or 478-542-2080.

Ratings for Dr. Amisha C. Upadhyaya
Dentist's Office is one place I shudder to go. And then the typical experience is that they rip you off by recommending treatments that are generally not necessary and then charge an arm and leg for it. However, here it isn't so. My experience with Dr. Amisha Upadhyaya, was indeed very pleasant and unique, to say the least. Their office staff is courteous and friendly. They are very reasonable in their fees and are not there to just get you. I had gone a few times for myself and had also taken my 80+ old mother for her dental issues, and every single time, the experience I had of Dr. Amisha was simply "Extraordinary". She is very gentle with her patients and we have never felt pain or have been hurt during or after any of the process. She is a Marvel!!! I would strongly recommend Dr. Amisha, to anyone who asked me for a reference.
,*Love to come to dr amisha office I feel so comfortable she cares for her pts..I recomend her office to any one...best dr everThank you dr amisha for being my dr.

If you are thinking of retirement but don't want to stop work altogether then this little 25 acre block is for you. Situated about 10 minutes south of Gin Gin in the acclaimed Red Hill farms district with its rich red soil this property will grow anything from small crops to tree crops and anything in between.
The property comes with a comfortable 3 bedroom brick home a large three bay lockable shed plenty of water tanks and a quality bore. Situated high on the red soil plateau this country is frost free and would lend itself to being used for a market garden or a smaller orchard for those who wish to grow trees. Add to this the fact that it could just be used for livestock this is a very versatile block.
The house has its own title of 2,899 sq/m which adds to the investment value of the property so at a later date you don't have to move but simply downsize. On the downside the property does have some regrowth on it that should be re-cleared. The owner is keen to sell and has reduced the price to $299,000 to meet the market. For further details call the agent Mal Topp to arrange an inspection.

Caleb's Hope Interviews Tahmoh and Arrow Reactions
Caleb's Hope has shared a great interview with Tahmoh, who is a long-time supporter of the organization. If you want to support the organization, consider donating to their latest campaign The Attiak Women's Business Group.
Full disclosure - I am a Caleb's Hope volunteer, and my involvement stems from my being a Tahmoh fangirl. If he had not played Elias on Whistler, I would never have known about the amazing Holly Elissa Dignard or Caleb's Hope. But he did play Elias, and a series of events led me to become the Volunteer Coordinator for this great organization. So it is with great pleasure that I present the interview and encourage all to support the organization's latest campaign.
What did everyone think of Tahmoh's role on CW's Arrow? You can watch the full episode here. Comments may contain spoilers.
