NBA: Cavs won't bring back GM after 3 straight trips to Finals
CLEVELAND - David Griffin's run with the Cleveland Cavaliers is over after one championship and three straight trips to the NBA Finals.
More Information
The trade
CELTICS GET: No. 3 overall pick this year; a lottery-protected first-round pick in either 2018 or '19 (could be the Lakers' draft slot in '18 or the 76ers' or Kings' in '19).
76ERS GET: No. 1 overall pick this year.
The general manager and team mutually parted ways on Monday when owner Dan Gilbert said Griffin's contract will not be extended once it expires June 30.
"On behalf of the entire organization, I would like to thank Griff for his leadership and many contributions during his time here, including most recently, his role in the franchise's first NBA Championship," Gilbert said in a statement. "We have no announcement at this time related to new leadership of the Cavaliers basketball operations group, but we are confident our current front office will continue to aggressively explore and pursue opportunities to improve our team in the weeks ahead."
Griffin's departure comes on the anniversary of the Cavs' dramatic Game 7 win over Golden State, capping a historic comeback that gave Cleveland its first major professional sports championship since 1964.
He's also leaving three days before the draft - the Cavs are currently without a pick - and on the eve of free agency.
A team spokesman said Trent Redden, the team's senior vice president of basketball operations, is also not returning. Assistant general manager Koby Altman remains with the team and is part of a group overseeing draft preparation and trade talks.
The 47-year-old Griffin had been Cleveland's GM since May 2014. He took over the role on a full-time basis after serving as an interim GM for three months following Chris Grant's firing.
76ers complete deal for No. 1 pick
Philadelphia completed its trade for the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA draft, landing the pick from the Boston Celtics on Monday in a move that clears the way for the 76ers to grab guard Markelle Fultz.
Philadelphia will hold the No. 1 pick for the second straight year, and worked Fultz out on Saturday night as talks with the Celtics got to the final stages. It was agreed to in principle at that point, with the last holdup being the customary league approval on the terms.
Boston gets the No. 3 pick in Thursday's draft from Philadelphia, plus either a first-rounder in 2018 and 2019. If the Los Angeles Lakers hold a pick between No. 2 and No. 5 next season, Boston gets that one. If not, Philadelphia will send Boston either its own first-rounder in 2019 or Sacramento's first-rounder that year.
Clippers add West as a consultant
Hall of Famer Jerry West, fresh off helping the Golden State Warriors win another NBA championship, is now officially a consultant with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The former longtime Lakers player and front office executive credited Clippers coach Doc Rivers, executive vice president Lawrence Frank and owner Steve Ballmer with convincing him the other team in town was the right fit.
West had been with the Warriors since 2011 and the team has won two NBA titles during his time in the Bay Area.

With our trip to the play last Saturday, and our family's off-kilteredness earlier in the day due to middle-of-the-night Friday awakenings, we didn't get the goulash made last week. Also, I realized we are out of tomato sauce -- and the husband is not adventurous enough to use the substitutions I probably would have, such as ketchup and/or tomato soup (both of which we do have). So, no goulash -- so far. It may show up on next week's menu plan.
Instead, last Saturday, we ate at Wendy's (his choice), had Sunday dinner out at an Indian restaurant after church, and popped up some popcorn on the stove and added a bunch of M&Ms to it for a Sunday evening supper with Secretariat viewing.
This week's menu has/will also consist(ed) of:
Monday: Two-Cup Corn Casserole. Had the macaroni set out for the planned goulash, so used some of that, plus a couple of cans of cream of chicken soup, and the last of the corn trimmed for last summer's ears out of the freezer. (Now we're down to commercially frozen corn.)
Tuesday: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. I had thawed some of the browned hamburger and didn't want to let it go too long unused, so we threw it -- and some chopped onion, also from the freezer -- into the half jar of Ragu sauce that was in there to make a meaty spaghetti sauce. (Also because I was thinking of the winter health benefits of onions and garlic.)
Wednesday: Ham and Bean Soup with Apple Cheddar Bread. It's a week for hot soup, and this recipe (from Nestle, posted on 247moms.com) was wonderful when we made it with leftover Easter ham last year. I did have to buy the beans, but I pulled evaporated milk out of the pantry, and a bag of leftover, ground-up ham, some frozen peas, and a chopped-up onion out of the freezer. There's also some dried rosemary from herbs grown on the deck a summer or so ago that some of us put into this. The Apple-Cheddar Bread (recipe from Gooseberry Patch Celebrate Autumn cookbook) also came out of the freezer: I tried the recipe with last fall's apples, and it made two loaves. I really liked the bread -- the husband and the kid were sort of indifferent, but oh well.
Thursday: At DH's request, we'll be going to a Chinese restaurant on the Chinese New Year.
Friday: Pizza.
Saturday: Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce. Look, it's Thanksgiving in February! Actually, it's that my workplace gives me a free turkey every holiday season, and I need to get its largeness out of the way in my freezer, cooked up (on a cold day when I won't mind having the oven on for a few hours), and eaten and then ground/chopped up into leftovers to be frozen for future turkey-based meals. (You notice that the rest of this week's menu plan is providing plenty of room for this bird to thaw in the fridge...) Also, the four--year-old (and I) love mashed potatoes, and I have a couple of boxes of them in the cupboard, as well as a couple of cans of jellied cranberry sauce, from Thanksgiving-time sales.

When I was a little girl my father would come home every night at six o'clock. I would wait patiently by the front door, nose pressed against the glass, trying to catch the first glimpse of his old brown LeBaron coming up the street. He would walk in the door all smiles and grab me in his arms to hug and kiss me hello. At dinner he would commend my accomplishments of the day, possibly a finger painting or some sort of holiday diorama. He'd tuck me into bed promptly at eight but not before reading a passage or two from one of my favorite books. I never felt unloved, never felt unimportant, never felt anything but safe and happy.
I thought all children felt this way for a very long time. It wasn't until I was in sixth grade that I realized not every girl had a father like mine. I remember going over to a friend's house for the first time after school one day. My mother let me stay for dinner and I was shocked that the family started eating without their Dad. In fact, my friends' father didn't come home until much later and we were already back to playing downstairs in the basement. I heard his heavy footsteps and deep voice through the floor. I stopped playing Nintendo, expecting my friend to spring to her feet at any moment to greet him. But she didn't flinch.
"Don't you want to go see your Dad?" I asked her.
"No." She said quite firmly. "I hate him. He's mean."
Her words were so jarring I didn't know what to make of them. How could she hate her Dad? I became so curious to meet the man of the house I made up the excuse of wanting some water. My friend walked me back up stairs where we found her Dad eating at the dinner table, buried behind a newspaper. She didn't acknowledge him as she walked by. He didn't acknowledge her either. On our way back from the kitchen, her Dad abruptly tossed his paper to the side.
"Did you clean that hamster cage yet like I told you to?" Her Dad asked without looking up from his meal.
"Yes." My friend answered.
I stood there, behind my friend, just starring at her father. What was going on here? Why wasn't he so happy to see her? Why wasn't he asking about her day? Didn't he want to know who I was? My mind raced with questions, but I didn't dare ask any of them. Instead I took them home and thought on them some more. Was her father always late for dinner? Did he usually read the paper at the table? Did he ever hug my friend? Why did she say she hated him?
As my friend and I grew closer I learned more about her Dad and their relationship. He worked for an Insurance company, a job he hated, but he also coached girl's basketball at the community center. He was a huge fan of the game and spent all of his free time on the court. And, of course, he enrolled his only daughter to play on the team. My friend was not athletic. Truthfully, she hated sports. She was into music and art. But her father wouldn't hear of her quitting, in fact, if she complained too much he would ground her. So every weekend was filled with practice and games, which made my friend miserable.
Their relationship was not warm and loving. It was based on fear and resentment. Her father ruled with an iron fist, and his word was not to be challenged. He didn't want to know his daughter, he just wanted her to fall in line.
The choices you make today…
You may be living the life of a single girl now, but one day your role will change. One day you will be a wife, and eventually a mother. The man you chose for a partner, will not only be your husband, but the father of your children. To think that far ahead is hard for some of us, but it's a critical that we do so. You are not only choosing a man for yourself, you are choosing a man that will head your entire household. You cannot think only of the relationship you will have with him. You must also consider the relationship he could have with your son or daughter. So before you say yes to any man, you must ask yourself, "what kind of father will he be?"
My friend didn't chose her Dad. She had no say in the relationship she was going to have with him. She was innocently born into this family and had no power to change the way she was raised. But her mother did have a choice. Her mother made the decision to marry him. Years ago, when they were merely dating, she ignored the fact that he could be cold at times. She disregarded his moody and abrasive personality. My friend's mom was in love and wanted to get married. Even if he wasn't exactly perfect, her mom thought she was strong enough to deal with her Dad's long list of shortcomings.
But never did she think about how her daughter would handle them.
What are the repercussions?
Studies show that children, especially girls, are greatly effected by their relationship with their father. An active, involved Dad, one who provides a loving and supportive environment, will breed well adjusted, happy children. A detached, antagonistic Dad, can breed just the opposite. Children can grow up to be angry, distrusting, excessively insecure and wildly promiscuous.
Maybe you are dating someone right now that has a bad temper. Or maybe he flakes on you whenever you really need him. Maybe he's too cocky to show his feelings. Or maybe he just makes you feel inadequate, unimportant and sad. Maybe you are actually considering marrying this man. Before you do, think about this: If he makes you, a grown woman feel this way, how do you think he will make your five-year-old feel?
Who you marry is your choice. Just remember that your kids will reap the benefits or suffer the consequences based on that decision. So Chose wisely.
If you are uncertain about the guy in your life, Continue reading

I don't know what's more upsetting about the NRA's latest Web video: the reckless content, or unoriginal execution.
Barley two month's after putting the genre to bed following the November elections– for what I'd hoped would be a three-year nap– our airwaves are being contaminated with yet another divisive political attack ad. And while the message is new, the style is anything but.
Allow me to count the ways…
1. Second-rate horror-flick soundtrack?
2. Ominous male voice over?
3. Waving American flag-as-prop?
You betcha'!
4. Coded language engineered to establish an us or them paradigm?
5. Polarizing opening question?
Well… if you consider a humdinger like: "ARE THE PRESIDENT'S KIDS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURS?" provocative… Hellz yeah!
A week after the mass shooting in Newton, Connecticut that left gun-control advocates demanding stiffer regulations of firearms, the NRA's chief executive and vice president, Wayne LaPierre, held a press conference to call for the end of "gun-free zones" around school buildings as a means of enhancing security; arguing that "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." But when asked for his response to LaPierre's statement during an appearance on "Meet the Press" last weekend, President Obama expressed reservations about putting more guns in schools nationwide, saying "I think the vast majority of the American people are skeptical that that somehow is going to solve our problem."
And this, apparently, is what triggered the NRA's rapid response.
Within days, a Web site called N.R.A. Stand and Fight released a video calling the President an "elitist" and a "snob" for his opposition to posting armed guards at schools, while Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, (whose faces were not shown in the video) benefit from Secret Service protection at their school.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney swiftly denounced the ad as "repugnant" and "cowardly," adding "Most Americans agree that the president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight."
As I watch the battle over gun rights escalate, I can't help wondering what those on the far right and far left hope to accomplish. After all, reconciliation cannot possibly be the goal when mud-slinging, stereotyping and a staunch refusal to acknowledge any opposing points of view, no matter how reasonable, takes the place of listening and rational dialogue.
When gun control advocates, for example, refute the logic that the abuse of alcohol, automobiles and artery-clogging foods contribute to more deaths in this country than random school shootings– why would a responsible gun holder engage them in a serious discussion? Likewise, when the premier firearms education organization publishes a video that suggests parity between the average American child attending their local public school with that of two little girls whose father is a head of state, questions whether Barack Obama believes his children are "more important than yours" and mixes imagery of young children, school buildings and weaponry in a 30 second ad– as the wounds of Newton are still wide open– it's counter-productive, and only serves to reinforce stereotypes of NRA members being big dummies clinging to their little guns.
Though the NRA claims an uptick in membership in the last month, I'd be curious to know how many members have withdrawn their support in that same time frame. One would think LaPierre might have learned a thing or two about temperance after his broadside against Federal agents in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing caused former president George H. W. Bush to resign his lifetime membership in 1995– stating that his "sense of decency and honor" were deeply offended– but one would be wrong.
To be clear, while I have never owned a firearm and possess enough self-knowledge to freely admit that my Cowardly Lion temperament coupled with gun ownership could only end in disaster– I am in the middle of the road on the gun debate. Having grown up in a leafy suburb of Manhattan under the vigilance of two highly protective parents, I never feared for my safety or witnessed violence first-hand. For the most part, my wide circle friends and family share this outlook on life and remain gun-free today. But it would be naive and arrogant for any of us to judge a gun owner when their decision to bear arms might, in fact, be a mark of intelligence based upon their life experience.
Perhaps if I lived in a little house on an isolated prairie– instead of proximate to 50 well-meaning neighbors within shouting distance– I'd be packing heat too. If I'd ever been mugged, or raped or physically abused in any way, I'd more likely than not have a very different viewpoint on how to best to safeguard my life. And if I had children who needed protection that I felt could only come from me, I might not be inclined to rely on the benevolence of the universe as a back-up plan.
That said, I think I speak for a lot of people like me when I say that what scares us more than a firearm, is a firearm in the hands of someone who is emotionally unstable. Someone who is quick to anger. Someone who is aggressive. Someone who has poor judgement. Someone who regards the world as a hostile environment populated by us and them. We fear people who feel desperate, marginalized and weak. And we fear anyone who has concluded that owning a gun can cure any of these ills.
To put it mildly, ads like the one released by the NRA only serve spark an already charged atmosphere– dooming us all to even more heated rhetoric from all sides.
But I'd like to believe that the vast majority of NRA members feel the same way. In which case, can we talk?
…because I am all ears.

Landscape Conservation Cooperatives use a collaborative approach to identify landscape scale conservation solutions. LCCs work across jurisdictional and political boundaries to work with partners to: meet unfilled conservation needs, develop decision support tools, share data and knowledge, and facilitate and foster partnerships.
As part of a shared science strategy, LCCs coordinate closely with the National Climate Change and Wildlife Center and the eight regional Climate Science Centers.
The main goal of this project is to ensure that the 2011-13 climate change update to the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Report (Baylands Goals) and other key, ongoing conservation activities in the San Francisco Bay region use the latest information about the current and future status of San Fr
The California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) developed a "risk mapping" approach that combines comprehensive distribution maps with maps of current and future suitable range to show where each (invasive) species is likely to spread.
California's native fishes are mostly endemic, with no place to go as climate change increases water temperatures and alters stream flows. Many of the alien fishes, however, are likely to benefit from the effects of climate change.
Decision support for climate change adaptation and fire management strategies for at risk species in southern California
This project integrates fire risk models, species distribution models (SDMs) and population models with scenarios of future climate and land cover to project how the effects of climate-induced changes to species distributions and land use change will impact threatened species in fire-prone ecosys
The goal of this project is to create critically needed coastal fog datasets.

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) drew upon its existing Canadian network to coordinate with potential Canadian partners on behalf of the Arctic LCC.
LCC funding allowed completion of this BLM initiative to develop a North Slope-wide cover type map and create a crosswalk that integrates all component cover type maps that comprise the larger overall North Slope cover type map.
The ALCC has asked the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution (U.S. Institute) to assist them in engaging a third-party neutral facilitator who can work with the steering committee to identify key landscape scale resource management needs common to many of the ALCC partners.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is supporting a field effort in support of a ShoreZone mapping project along the Chukchi and Beaufort coasts. Funds from the LCC will allow for the inclusion of three additional ShoreStations.
Over the last 3 years, high-resolution LiDAR elevation data has been acquired for much of the northern coast of Alaska in support of the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program's National Assessment of Shoreline Change project.
This project used historical climate records for Alaska and Western Canada to identify patterns in temperature and precipitation reflecting the distribution of biomes seen across this region today.

Julep Ball draws singers, actors for a good cause
Country singers, television stars and coaches for University of Louisville's sports teams came to talk horse racing, fashion and more — all while helping a good cause at Friday's Julep Ball, an event to benefit the Brown Cancer Center.
Celebrity guests, including singers Laura Bell Bundy, Brothers Osborne, J.D. Shelburne and Chuck Wicks, all talked about previous visits to Louisville, but emphasized that it's distinctly different with the Kentucky Derby.
The head-turners at the ball were the men — particularly the Harris twins, Mark and Matther, of A&E Network's "Storage Wars," who were attending their eighth Derby. They wore brocade jackets with purple silk handkerchiefs and some snazzy socks that set off their slipper-like shoes.
"We love the fashion. We love the food. We love the parties," Mark Harris said.
Gunnar Deatherage, a designer from Louisville and competitor on "Project Runway," wore printed separates in mostly black and white with a splash of mustard.
"I think it's great when people get artsy with what they wear," he said. "Sometimes with the hats people can take it way too far with their entire garden on top of their heads like it's all on a huge dish. But it's all fun."
The evening included the 2014 James Graham Brown Cancer Center Champions — Teresa Secor of Sellersburg, Ind., and Anthony Combs of Elizabethtown — who have overcome cancer in recent years. Secor has been volunteering at the Brown Cancer Center since she received treatment for lung cancer four years ago.
"I would like to go to every table out there and say 'thank you,' " she said. "This isn't just for me or the Derby, it's for everybody."

What is the name of the fictitious town where The Fog is set?
Davenport is a real California town, near Santa Cruz. There is an "Arkham Reef" in The Fog, an homage to H.P. Lovecraft.
By: Torrance Grey
6 Min Quiz
In 1980, promoters set up fog machines in the lobbies of movie theaters to launch this atmospheric thriller! Now, find out how much you remember about "The Fog" with our quiz!
Davenport is a real California town, near Santa Cruz. There is an "Arkham Reef" in The Fog, an homage to H.P. Lovecraft.
The celebration isn't just a festive backdrop for the supernatural events. The circumstances of the town's founding will be very important to the plot.
Houseman's scene was added in reshoots that Carpenter added after seeing the first cut of his film. He felt The Fog was too short and not scary enough.
KAB is run by Stevie Wayne. She broadcasts from the old lighthouse.
Barbeau was married to director Carpenter at the time. The Fog was her first feature film.
Holbrook played a priest who -- no surprise, in movies -- loves his liquor. A visitor knocking on his door says a quick prayer that "he's not in his cups."
Other things that happen shortly after midnight: a hose falls from a gas pump and starts pouring gas, car alarms go off, and a dog barks incessantly.
The diary is labeled, "Father Patrick Malone, 1880." It turns out to be the diary of Father Malone's grandfather.
The character's full name is Elizabeth Solley. She's a free spirit, into sketching and casual sex.
The Sea Grass is a fishing vessel. Its crew is warned of a fog bank heading their way, but doesn't believe it.
Elizabeth says that she's from Pasadena. Her family is rich, but she says she has no chance "to do what I want."
Kathy is rattled by this and the fact that her husband didn't come home the night before. Al Williams is captain of the Sea Grass.
Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis are mother and daughter. They had a scene together near the film's end.
The crew of the Elizabeth Dane were lured onto the rocks by a signal fire. The fire was set deliberately by Antonio Bay's founders.
The lepers' leader was a wealthy man named Blake. He wanted to move the colony to within a mile of Antonio Bay.
Blake was wealthy, and was bringing his gold with him. Sinking the ship must have required a diving expedition to retrieve the treasure -- not the easiest way to steal!
The original Malone, who went along with the scheme, poured out his guilt to his journal. Of course, he's hiding another sin... but we'll get to that later.
Nick and Elizabeth's casual approach to sex marks the movie as classically 1970s (despite its 1980 release date). Other '70s touches include frequent smoking, hitchhiking, drinking beer from cans, and, of course, Beautiful Woman Drives a Jeep.
Nick is in bed with Elizabeth when the creature knocks. He's reluctant to get up and get the door, and by the time he does, there's no one there.
Mostly, the undead sailors use the hooks, an appropriate weapon for seafarers. But the first victim on the Sea Grass is run through with a sword.
Dick's body falls out of a locker onto Elizabeth. The other two crew members aren't found on board.
Andy finds a broken plank reading "DANE." But he tells his mother that, at first, it was a gold coin.
Of course, three of those six have already died. But this scene serves as exposition -- it's where we learn the ghost sailors have a goal.
The money from Blake's gold supposedly funded the chartering of Antonio Bay. That's why the 100th anniversary is important -- it's the anniversary of a town built on blood money.
Dick's body fell on Elizabeth on the Sea Grass. In the exam room, he lurches toward her. We're starting to think he has a crush!
Stevie is on the phone with Dan as he reports that the fog has surrounded his building, then that someone "must be playing a joke." She warns him not to go to the door, but he does.
This may seem like a minor point of trivia, but Stevie repeats it at least a half-dozen times in the scene where she implores someone to go to Andy's aid. She's seen the fog rolling toward her neighborhood and assumes -- somehow correctly -- that it's targeting her house.
Stevie seems to figure out that the fog is the fatal element rather easily. It's like she knows she's in a horror movie!
The character of Mrs. Kobritz was named after a producer friend of John Carpenter's. In the movie, she's Andy's babysitter.
Point Reyes Lighthouse was the filming location for some of Barbeau's scenes. Point Reyes is a famously beautiful small town near San Francisco.
Stevie relays the information that the church remains unaffected by the fog, so Nick, Elizabeth, Andy, Kathy Williams, and Kathy's assistant, Sandy, all converge on it. Father Malone is already there; he never seems to go anywhere else.
The cross was made from the gold the original Father Malone stole from Blake. Why he made it into a giant cross instead of profiting from it, the script doesn't explain.
This was the last-minute twist all '80s horror movies had. The undead seem to have been appeased by the return of Blake's gold, since they went away. But in the film's final moment, the fog returns, and Malone is beheaded in his own church.
Carpenter scored the film himself. An extended cut of the soundtrack, released as an album, includes a radio interview with Jamie Lee Curtis about the film.
Carpenter won a lot of critical acclaim for Halloween. It was released in 1978 and had a lot of influence on the horror cinema of the 1980s.

May 2018 Commercial Newsletter
Download Complete Newsletter | Volume 6, Issue 5
What Will Happen to Available Financing?
Having good financing available is a major supporting factor in maintaining solid commercial real estate values. Whenever our economy is recovering from an economic
downturn, the increased ease with which borrowers can then obtain loans, when combined with being able to buy property with a lower down payment, helps to increase both the demand and the excitement within buyers to own more property, which then helps to support and drive prices upward.
Keeping this in mind, the real estate market has recovered nicely within so manydifferent geographical areas since the last recession, and the ease with which good financing has been available has definitely supported this recovery.
So what does our crystal ball hold with respect to the future…and with the continuance of this good financing still being available? The good news is that the availability of good
financing should continue on as long as the lenders believe that the future of the real estate market remains sound.
So right now, while many markets are experiencing sustained levels of value with their commercial real estate, the pace of buyer activity in many areas has slowed, as buyers seem to be wondering whether or not they should still be paying today's prices.
However, as long as the economy and the job market remain good, today's real estate values can still remain solid. But at the same time, the lenders, to a certain degree, need to keep a watchful eye on where they believe the real estate market may be headed, and not just focus on where the market is right now.
With this in mind, the amount of available financing should still remain good as long as there are no new warning signs appearing on the radar screen, indicating that there may be a negative turn coming within the economy. In addition, this can be dealt with differently by the various lenders, as the ones that got bailed out the last time may just figure that the same money will be made available to them once again, and these lenders may still remain more aggressive with their lending.
Putting this all together, one thing remains true…the level of available financing with good terms for borrowers will probably notget better than it is right now, within this particular economic cycle.
So if you're thinking of buying or refinancing, and getting good terms on your loan is very important to you, you may want to take action sooner…rather than later. With this in mind, and in knowing that interest rates are now on the rise, it will probably be some time before we see interest rates become lower once again.
Moderate Economic Growth Continues as Consumers Pull Back On Spending, Companies Keep Investing
The U.S. economy notched a moderate gain in the first quarter of 2018. In its advance estimate, the Department of Commerce reports that gross domestic product (GDP) grew by an annualized rate of 2.3%, a drop from the 2.9% growth of the final quarter of 2017, but still better than the annual average achieved over the course of this lengthy expansion, which is now entering its 105th month.
The government cautions that these estimates are based on incomplete data and subject to revision. However, the path of year-over-year quarterly growth continues to accelerate and shows no real sign of faltering yet.
The leading contributor was private nonresidential investment, which grew by 6.1% annualized. It was the eighth-consecutive quarter of positive growth, contributing 0.8% to GDP growth. Investment in equipment and intellectual property accounted for more than half of that contribution. Healthy corporate earnings and the newly enacted tax reform allowing immediate and full depreciation of selected capital investment seem to be boosting investment in equipment. This is especially important for future growth as it portends increases in future productivity, lifting wages and profitability.
Consumers pulled back a bit after a robust fourth quarter last year. Consumer spending slowed to 1.1% annualized in the quarter, the slowest rate since second quarter 2013, and contributed 0.7% to overall GDP growth. While personal incomes were up, consumers chose to bank more of that income as the savings rate has been ticking up from the dismally low levels reached late last year.
Net trade eked out a positive contribution to GDP growth, with exports outstripping imports as weaker consumer spending reined in purchases from overseas.
As expected, the drawdown of inventories during the last quarter was reversed as businesses restocked their shelves in the first quarter of 2018, accounting for 0.4% of GDP growth.
Also on Friday, the Labor Department released its latest report of employment compensation costs to businesses. With a tightening labor market, expectations are for faster wage growth, although that has not yet been evident in the earnings reported alongside recent monthly employment numbers.
The Employment Cost Index reflects total compensation costs to firms, including both wages and benefits. This latest report shows a continuing acceleration of the cost indices for both wages and benefits. The wage index for private sector workers grew by 2.9% from a year earlier, the largest increase since 2008, while benefits increased by 2.6%.
The Federal Reserve's preferred measure for inflation is the price index for personal consumption expenditures excluding energy and food ("Core PCE"). This rose by 1.7% in the first quarter, still shy of the Fed's 2.0% target. But as more signs of wage growth appear, the probability of the FOMC voting for three more rate increases this year is rising.
Any impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on consumers has so far been muted. However, the fiscal stimulus, which is still in the pipeline, as well as growing budget deficits are certain to put upward pressure on interest rates even in the absence of proactive Fed policy. It remains to be seen how firms will respond to expectations of a higher cost of capital, and how consumers react to higher household debt burdens.
It seems that we are enjoying, for now, a Goldilocks economic environment-not too hot and not too cold, a balancing act to be sure.

|Boomer and Mikayla
Relationship Information
Boomer Parker & Mikayla Makoola
Good Friends, Exes
First Interaction:
"Return of the Kings"
This is the relationship between Boomer and Mikayla.
Boomer and Mikayla have grown to be very good friends as the show progresses. Although Boomer had assured Brady before that he doesn't like Mikayla more than a friend (No Rhyme or Treason), the same cannot be definitely said about Mikayla. The bond that they have formed could--and had--led some to believe in the possibility of this relationship happening in the future. It seems like Brady and Boomer both thought of Mikayla as pretty in the first episode. Boomer also looks like Mikayla ex- boyfriend, who he claims does not look anything like him.
Ship Names
- Mikaymer (Mikayla/Boomer)
- Bikaymer (Boomer/Mikayla)
- Boomkayla (Boomer/Mikayla)
Episode Moments
Season One
- Boomer said, "Looks like hotties roam free, too!" when he (and Brady) first saw Mikayla.
- After Mikayla introduced herself, Boomer was the first one to greet her and introduce himself.
- Boomer followed Mikayla right away when she offered a castle tour.
- Boomer sounded a little hurt when he concluded that Mikayla did not have much faith in them as kings.
- When Boomer mistook her as Giki Kiki during the coronation, Mikayla just chuckled and said it wasn't her.
- Mikayla was the one to 're-crown' Boomer after the kings came back from retrieving the jewel.
- "Don't you wanna be in the beach with her if we do?" Boomer asked Brady this, smirking, after finding out the dangers they would have to face in the island. His expressions suggest that he finds her attractive, while his word imply that her company makes him feel better.
- Mikayla stood next to Boomer while Aunt Nancy talks to Brady.
- Mikayla pulled Boomer aside to explain their plan from getting him (and Brady) sent home due to the Waka Waka sting.
- When Boomer began worrying about Brady's amnesia, Mikayla assured him that it would be over soon.
Season Two
- Mikayla helped Boomer up after he and Brady fell down from the Throne Room.
- Boomer started dancing when Mikayla began beatboxing. When she stopped, he asked her to "Bring that beat back, girl!"
- Instead of brushing her off, Boomer addressed Mikayla's concern from their act of offending the Squonk Queen by giving her an honest reason as to why they did so.
- Boomer, while hiding with Brady, admitted that Mikayla's advice of apologizing to the Squonk people was right. He agreed with her.
- When Boomer finally decided to make peace with the Squonk people for the good of the island, Mikayla (and Mason) accompanied him.
- Boomer was the first of the twins to spot Mikayla at the beach.
- Mikayla apologized to rather than get angry at Boomer after she discovered him hiding in her room
- Although he was doing it mostly for Brady, Boomer admits to leaving the note asking Mikayla to a date.
- Mikayla said she was "confused, surprised, and a little weirded out" by the question, but she didn't turn him down.
- When Mason asked whether he wanted to date Mikayla, Boomer vaguely agrees.
- Mikayla acknowledged that Boomer is brave for doing the Hunt for someone he cares about, even if that someone wasn't her.
- Mikayla said, "Let's hope Boomer can hide in the jungle as well as you behind your jokes." This may be a hint that she does not mind Boomer winning the Hunt, thus having the opportunity to date her freely.
- Boomer thought of ways to outsmart Mason while in the jungle. It wasn't required of him to stay long in the Hunt since he would only be doing it to help Brady, but he still tried anyways - even if it failed.
- Although Mason caught Boomer at the beach, his hair wasn't shaved. It is a must that has to be completed. Since it wasn't, Boomer may still be eligible to date Mikayla should he win a Hunt.
- (This is the first of the episodes where a possible romantic relationship between Boomer and Mikayla is acknowledged by one of the main characters.)
- Boomer questions Mikayla after discovering that she had a boyfriend. He nicknamed her 'Mikay-Liar' before touching her hair.
- Boomer asked whether Lucas broke her heart, and Mikayla cried, "Into a thousand pieces."
- Boomer put Mikayla through a Lie Detector Test and though it annoyed her, she went along with it - until he asked the second question.
- Boarding the Raiders' ship, the twins discovered that Lucas looked similar to Boomer.
- Boomer, under the guise of Lucas, called Mikayla 'baby' and 'babe.'
- When Mikayla asked him (as Lucas) whether he would still be her boyfriend, he accepted.
- Mikayla hugged Boomer almost twice.
- When Brady confronted Boomer (as Lucas) for agreeing to be Mikayla's boyfriend, he admitted that he did so because he got confused - possibly because of the way Mikayla looked at him.
- Mikayla sent him a flying kiss, which he hesitantly accepted.
- Boomer explained (to Brady) further that the reason why he couldn't break up with Mikayla was because she looked "so gentle, [he] can't stand to break her heart again."
- Boomer and Brady planned to make him appear inconsiderate and uncaring, but multiple times he failed, unable to resist being nice (he apologized for eating the chocolate he brought her) and saying good things ("Aw, you're so good to me!") to her.
- Unknown to Mikayla, she had gone to a date with Boomer.
- After coming back to the plaza, Mikayla held Boomer's hand while they walked, saying she had a nice time with him.
- Mikayla asked Boomer to close his eyes, and then she puckers up. Nervously, Boomer drew closer to her.
- Later, when the Sea Raiders--and Mikayla--discovered Boomer's impersonation of Lucas, she admitted to not being able to tell the two apart. It may not only be the physical aspects that were similar, but it could also be traits that she loved and disliked in her boyfriend.
- Mikayla was the one who worried first about Boomer after he was held hostage by the Sea Raiders.
- Mikayla decided on going with Lucas just so Boomer could be safe.
- When Brady asked if Lucas was the reason why she wouldn't go on a date with him, Mikayla said he wasn't. When he assumed that it's because she liked Boomer, she didn't directly disagree.
- Boomer complimented Mikayla on her outfit when she came aboard the ship.
- When they were surrounded by the rest of the Sea Raiders, Boomer told Mikayla, "Let your ex handle this." He held them back, while Mikayla (and Brady) escaped.
- Mikayla removed a piece of sea monster gut from Boomer's Sea Raider costume, causing him to panic and jump out of the ship.
- Boomer (dressed as Lucas again) threatened Brady, scaring him out of asking Mikayla on a date. He did this as a favor to Mikayla, who was happy with the outcome.
- Boomer told Mikayla that even if they only dated for two hours, he had a good time.
- Mikayla called him sweet. She was trying to say that she also had a good time, but Boomer told her to "not to get attached."
- Boomer and Mikayla agreed on how odd Brady's approach is on wooing Mikayla.
- Boomer was the one who noticed the change in Mikayla's hair.
- Mikayla invited Boomer and Brady to the poetry slam. Boomer still came even if he didn't seem like he wanted to.
- After Mikayla was slammed off the stage, she hugged Boomer first.
- Boomer sounded concerned when he said that he "hadn't seen Mikayla that angry."
- Mikayla greeted Boomer happily after she talked to Brady, showing that she viewed her relationship with him separate from the one she had with his twin brother.
- Mikayla invited Boomer come with her again to the poetry slam, and he excitedly agreed to go.
- When Brady forbid Boomer to be friends with her, Mikayla became upset. Boomer supported her for standing up to his brother.
- Boomer disobeyed the "Bro Code" and snuck out to be with Mikayla, which he said was worth it since he was having a great time.
- Boomer and Mikayla spent an hour and a half together at the Poetry Slam.
- Boomer told Brady, after he caught them, that he liked hanging out with Mikayla, and he stood up to for it.
- After Brady decreed poetry as illegal to stop the two from hanging out, Boomer angrily pointed out that they were no longer friends. When he walked out, Mikayla followed him.
- Boomer had gone to the extent of learning the laws of Kinkow--something that he didn't take much interest in many times before--to null the law Brady had set against poetry. He may have done this because Mikayla liked poetry slams and that it was something that they had both bonded over.
- Boomer organized a secret poetry slam, even adding a frozen yogurt truck to attract others there, and took Mikayla.
- They sat together while at the poetry slam.
- Boomer called Mikayla "Little Island Girl," the title of the poem she recited at the first poetry slam he attended with her, and she chuckled, flattered by the nickname he gave to her.
- Mikayla was alluded to in the poem Boomer recited.
- Mikayla excitedly points out to the others the Boomer may be the first one to get through the whole poem -- a feat that hadn't been achieved during the slams.
- Boomer told Brady that the reason why it was easy for him to be with Mikayla was because he didn't like her the way he thought he did; they were just friends. However, since he knew that Brady was hurt and Mikayla was outside the castle gate, waiting, it could be contested that he dismissed the romantic hint between the two of them because of those.
- When Mikayla said that mainland names were weird, Boomer snidely agreed, "They sure are, Mikayla Makoola."
- Boomer gave Mikayla the straightforward answer when she asked about the food the brothers ordered the kitchen staff to make.
- After quieting the crowd of teens gathered in the plaza, Mikayla walked around to where Boomer stood.
- When Mikayla 'rage whispered,' Boomer said that she didn't need to do that, seemingly hurt from her doing so.
- After Mikayla came back, announcing that Mason was going to ruin the party, Boomer assured her that he got the situation under control.
- Mikayla covered Boomer's mouth when he started yelling (warning their guests of the danger) after she told him (and Brady) about the giant sand maggot.
- Boomer declared, "Found them!" right after Mikayla said that they have to look for the people taken by the sand maggot.
Season Three
- Mikayla assured Boomer, who's worried about Brady's disappearance, that his brother would not leave him.
- During the storm, Mikayla was pulling Boomer back into the castle where it's safe. She's also doing that to free him from Lanny, who's scheming to get rid of his cousin by sending him on a faulty (and dangerous) hot air balloon to go after Brady.
- Even after Lanny let go, Mikayla kept holding on to Boomer as they go inside the castle.
- Both Boomer and Mikayla were upset after the Island Elder said that Brady's work on the island has come to its finish.
- Boomer had the Brady puppet that he made kiss Mikayla.
- While discovering the damage in the plaza, Boomer and Mikayla stood right next to each other.
- Mikayla was the one to come up into the Kings' Chamber to talk to Boomer, who's frustrated after everything that has happened.
- Boomer poured his heart out to Mikayla, telling her the thoughts that were bothering him.
- When Mikayla confessed that she may be the reason why Brady left, Boomer did not get mad at her. Instead, he showed empathy, knowing exactly what she felt.
- After Lanny told the brothers about Mikayla being on a guilt trip and how it could end up being fatal for her, Boomer decided to go after her.
- Boz noted that Boomer was doing that because Mikayla's important to him.
- Seeing that Mikayla's faced with a gorilla that could harm her, Boomer stepped in to help.
- Boomer angrily yelled at the gorilla, addressing it as if it was Brady. He defended Mikayla, saying that she should not be feeling guilty because of him (Brady) leaving, that the blame was solely on his (Brady's) shoulders.
- Mikayla thanked Boomer for turning the gorilla away. She said she'd still miss Brady, and Boomer said he feels the same.
- Mistaking the gorilla as Boz, Boomer, annoyed, told him that he and Mikayla were "healing" and that his "banana breath is ruining [their] moment."
- Mikayla agreed with Boomer when he said that it felt "weird to watch" Boz talking to the gorilla.
- Boomer was able to correctly guess the reason for the point loss Mason suffered that Mikayla said she won't 'go into.'
- Boomer assured Mikayla that he and Boz would be careful so as not to cause her any points from the Guard of the Year Award.
- It saddened Boomer to think that their stunt had cost Mikayla the chance to bring honor to her family - an achievement that he wanted to bring to his family, too.
- Boomer planned to put his (and Boz's) life in danger - on purpose - so that Mikayla could gain more points in the games.
- When Mikayla despisingly points out her second place standing for the Guard of the Year Award, Boomer told her, "Cheer up, girl." He then proceeded to encourage her with what his gym teacher told him in the past about being in second place, but it only resulted to a snide comeback.
- Mikayla was extremely hurt that neither of the twins defended her from the Island Elders, and she showed this by snatching the control from Boomer's hand and letting it fall on the floor.
- When Mikayla asked whether all she meant to the kings is a gold star, Boomer said that it wasn't so -- only to add that she would get to take them to lunch if she had four more.
- After they discovered that Mikayla was working at Fishy Burger, Boomer appeared horrified and regretful to what had happened to her.
- Boomer asked Mikayla why she was working at the restaurant under poor conditions.
- Boomer decided that he and Boz had to fix the situation to help Mikayla.
- Boomer (and Boz) asked the head of the Island Elders to reinstate Mikayla as the head castle guard. When they were turned down, he said they would do anything to get Mikayla back.
- Boz wanted to quit when they were waxing the Elders' legs to get Mikayla her job at the castle back, but Boomer said that they had to keep going for her.
- Boomer was the one who told Mikayla that they got her her job back, so she could leave the restaurant, come over to the castle, and take care of them.
- Mikayla said she wouldn't come back, and Boomer didn't find it favorable.
- Mikayla told Boomer that she was angry because she's hurt and that she thought they were better friends.
- During the conversation, Mikayla reminded Boomer of the bracelet she gave him as a sign of their friendship. Though she said that both brothers were her friends, Boomer was the only one who had the bracelet.
- Boomer coaxed Mikayla to come back to the castle, offering to wax her legs for her.
- When Mikayla refused, Boomer was worried and disappointed (in himself).
- After buying out Fishy Burger, Boomer said that they did so because they wanted to spend time with Mikayla. She was even promoted as head manager, another peace offering to her.
- Even if Mikayla turned them down, Boomer said that they were still going to stick around to help her.
- Mikayla told the brothers to leave after something in the kitchen caught on fire. Boomer said later on that they had left her hanging before, and it wasn't going to happen again.
- Boomer despaired when he thought that the friendship bracelet Mikayla gave him had burned, but he was happy when Boz told him it wasn't.
- Mikayla told Boomer not to burn himself by holding onto the bracelet, but he said it wasn't just any bracelet because she made it for him.
- Boomer, through a metaphor with the bracelet, said that he was so used to having her around that he had forgotten she was there. But, when he lost her, he realized that he really missed her.
- Mikayla said Boomer was sweet.
- When he and Boz was going out to play with the teeth an Island Elder left behind, Boomer asked Mikayla if she wanted to come.
- Boomer put his arm around Mikayla first before Boz did.
- Mikayla stopped Boomer from 'hacking off' Boz's 'mouth claw.'
- When Boomer freaked out after hearing the banned word 'dentist,' Mikayla apologized to Boomer and used a kenning in place of the word.
- Boomer tagged Mikayla after telling him about Boz's problem (and after she told them to slow down with the game).
- Mikayla told Boomer to stay in the castle while she goes after Boz. Then, she tags him back.
- After finding out that Boomer's been kidnapped, worried Mikayla (along with Boz) plans to rescue him by sounding the alarm at the castle.
- Mikayla came into the castle, upset after hearing from an islander that Boomer was going to compete in a Thumb War, a particularly dangerous battle played in Kinkow.
- Boomer waved his thumb playfully in front of Mikayla's eyes, saying that he would be dominating the game.
- Mikayla tried to convince (then command) Boomer to not compete in the Thumb War due to its hazzards.
- After losing, Boomer humbly admitted his loss and asked for Mikayla's suggestion on how to fix the mistake he's made.
- Boomer showed a strong confidence in Mikayla when he entrusted the determining battle (to get the castle back) against Tom Thumb to her.
- Boomer thanked Mikayla for getting the island back. She accepted then said he deserved "a lot of the credit, too."
- (It is also noted that both Boomer and Mikayla (the latter more so than the former) are skilled Thumb War players.)
- While Boomer spoke to Mason about letting the Yetis stay with them awhile, Mikayla was listening to him attentively, soon agreeing with his proposition.
- Mikayla (and Mason) carried Boomer back to his room after he stubbed his toe and asked them to take him.
- Boomer complained about Mikayla pinching him (which is the second time in the series that he did so, the first being in Brother, Where Arr Thou?).
- Even after Mason had let Boomer fall on the floor, Mikayla held onto his feet a little longer before letting go.
- Mikayla apologized for her dad, advising him to choose his pauses more wisely.
- Mikayla raised her eyebrows as Boomer apologizes for his lateness, pointing towards the flirty flight attendants as the reasons.
- There are at least three known episodes where Boomer and Mikayla's closeness had become a source of jealousy from one of the major characters: Good King Hunting, The Ex Factor, and No Rhyme or Treason.
- In multiple episodes, it is noticeable how Boomer and Mikayla wear articles of clothing that matches colors (or shades of it). Examples of these are No Rhyme or Treason, Lord of the Fries, and Thumb and Thumber.
- Although Boomer was caught during the Hunt (the process was rendered incomplete, therefore null), he was still able to date Mikayla albeit unknowingly. This makes for the first ever date between two major characters on the show.
- Boomer had called Mikayla a few endearing nicknames, such as "Little Island Girl" (the title of the poem she wrote about herself), "Baby", and "Kaykay" (both as Lucas and sometimes Lanny). He also tends to call her "Girl." At times, he does so out of habit, but there are moments when he calls her that affectionately.
- It can be said that on the show, Boomer and Mikayla have the strongest friendship (besides that formed between the brothers). This fact is signified by the friendship bracelet Mikayla made for Boomer, which took her a week or so to do. Of the three brothers, he was the only one who she's given it to.
- Through out the series they both have wore each others favorite color.

Members' charitable efforts in Western North Carolina."
The Walnut Cove Members Association (WCMA) is comprised of a group of Cliffs at Walnut Cove property owners who are interested in supporting local nonprofit charities. Not only are we a philanthropic group, but we are also a social group. Each year, we curate a mix of unique events that are exclusive to our Members.
The WCMA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises money through member dues, donations, and our annual "Weekend of Giving". At the end of each year, these funds are distributed to a variety of local charitable organizations in which our Members are actively involved. As an all volunteer organization, we have a very high efficiency rate of 97.5%. That means, almost all of your donations go out to help others.
Since its inception in 2007, WCMA has awarded over 345 grants, totaling more than $1.6 Million, to a diverse range of nonprofits. We currently have over 330 Members, many of whom volunteer as Board and Committee members. Our service to the community, along with our generous donations, has made Walnut Cove a valued and respected part of the greater Asheville area.

Why is it that everything I do, turn into something geeks? I understand the geekiness in RPG's and computer, but I manage to turn something relatively simple and sober into full-blown geekiness. Why? Can't I just be normal and non-geeky for once? Why is it, that every time something catches my attention I always end up knowing obscure things about that particular thing? Like movies. I realized that I know stupid things, about actors that I don't even especially like. How do I know stuff like that? Why do I remember that, when I can't even remember the date of my sisters birthday? Is it because I am so used to having geek-friends that I know they love obscure facts about obscure things? Or is the geekiness perhaps a genetically defect? Or maybe the next step in evolution? Hmm. One thing is for sure: Non-geeks perceive me as almost to geek to function.
And from the LPoTD archives:
Why do geeks love geeks girls, as soon as they have just relatively good looks? If, as a geek, you compliment a girl: "You're like totally cha 18, and I mean that with all of my heart, even if I had been Lord Soth and completely chaotic evil", it's nice that she understands..

With sagging ceilings, dirty carpets and peeling paint, it's not hard to see why Melbourne's notorious Gatwick Private Hotel, which will be renovated as part of this year's The Block, has been described as a "house of horrors."
Behind the derelict hotel's exterior lies a history even more sinister – something Shannon Lisinski, 44, knows too well after her father Paul was tragically murdered there by a fellow guest in 1999.
Sad reminder
Now – in a heartbreaking coincidence – the first episode of the show will mark the 19th anniversary of Shannon's father's death. She looks back at her memories of the Gatwick with mixed emotion.
"I'd lost contact with my father for about eight years and eventually found him at the Gatwick. He was an alcoholic. I visited him a couple of times and remember it being dark and smelling of urine. But the women running the place were lovely."
"I heard on the radio someone had died there, did some research and found out it was my father. He'd been murdered by a girl who was staying with him. She ended up being sentenced to nine years," recalls Shannon.
"The residents were lovely, downtrodden but they had enormous hearts, as did my dad. Many wanted to help with my father's funeral and some said a few words, but it was a sad place overall," she says.
Two years ago, leaked police data revealed more than 50 serious crimes took place within six months at the property, including arson, a stabbing, two rapes, at least 19 drug offences and aggravated burglaries.
But when it opened in 1937, the Gatwick was a far cry from the "Hotel Hell" it would become.
It was described as a "luxurious" hotel that served as a destination for travellers from all over the world.
All that changed in the '60s, when Vittoria Carbone bought the hotel and turned it into a boarding house for those in need of cheap housing.
Providing accommodation for everyone from runaways to sex workers, to anyone who needed a roof over their head, the hotel was eventually put up for sale when Vittoria died in 1998. Her twin daughters, Rose Banks and Yvette Kelly, bought the hotel and took over.
For the next 16 years they worked tirelessly to help Melbourne's homeless but the duo couldn't prevent the horrors that went on after dark.
Eerie feeling
In 2014, a long-term resident was kicked to death in an upstairs corridor. The walls were splattered in his blood.
Then, in 2006, Arthur Karatasiosis was fatally stabbed in the foyer, and a year earlier Russian immigrant Sammy Garfunkel was found dead in his room with 12 fractured ribs, a crushed larynx and a lacerated ear.
Post continues...
Want more celeb goss? Listen to the latest episode of the Woman's Day Uncensored podcast, where the team talk about reality TV, including the Bachelor, share insight into Tegan Martin's exclusive interview and lift the lif the royal feud between Camilla and Princess Anne.
While Father Bob Maguire blessed the property last year – and the souls of those who had passed away – it was hard for the contestants on The Block to shake the eerie feeling when they set up camp within the tainted walls.
Co-host Shelley Craft said, "I'm sure there were more than ghosts in that building. It was super creepy. It was one of those buildings that if the walls could talk… "
"I can't say I saw any ghosts but I certainly felt that the building had some history. When they started bringing up the carpets, it was something out of a horror movie. "
"But that's the thing when you're renovating an old place, it's always when the carpet comes up that the truth comes out."

Rising women's drinking highlights need for FASD Awareness
Rising women's drinking highlights importance of FASD Awareness Day
Alcohol Healthwatch media release, 8 September 2017
Alcohol Healthwatch says more New Zealand women are now drinking hazardously so we must address our wider drinking culture to support women to have alcohol-free pregnancies.
Fetal Alcohol Network New Zealand (FANNZ) coordinator, Alcohol Healthwatch's Christine Rogan says that since 2011, there has been a 43 percent increase in the number of women being classified as hazardous drinkers. Consumption among women drinkers is higher today than in 2006 and she says of particular concern is that a study has found that young New Zealand females consume the highest amounts of alcohol.
"This situation demands much better recognition of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), a term used to describe a cluster of developmental disorders that can happen to an unborn baby when a pregnant woman consumes alcohol," Ms Rogan said.
Tomorrow (9 September) is World FASD Awareness Day. The aim of this day is to have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) more widely recognised, prevented and supported.
"Everyone participating in FASD Awareness Day is invited to share in a 'Moment of Reflection' at 9:09 am - the ninth minute, of the ninth hour, of the ninth day, of the ninth month – to symbolise the nine months of pregnancy in which to have a healthy baby and to reflect on those living with fetal alcohol disorders," Ms Rogan said.
"People need to understand the link between drinking during pregnancy and the difficulties this can lead to as children grow up. We are concerned about binge drinking but no amount of alcohol is safe for a developing baby.
"We know many pregnancies are unplanned pregnancies and that the risk of alcohol exposure during pregnancy is high, so we want all our young people to understand the risk and be supported in a non-judgemental way.
"That means we all need to look at our drinking. It is simply unacceptable the way women are blamed for drinking in a culture that is awash with alcohol and where its promotion as an essential element of socialising."
In 2016 the Government launched the FASD Action Plan 2016-2019.
Ms Rogan says the Whole of Government plan including, Health, Education, Social Development and Justice, intends to address prevention, intervention and support.
"Families living with FASD are gathering this Awareness month to discuss the support needed to keep their vulnerable young people with FASD safe from harm and thriving. We all have a role to play in supporting them in this."

Not much has been happening lately at the Craig's. We have yet to stand up the swingset, its still on its side. It can be fixed though, that is the good news, but needing a new header and legs so until we get the lumber for that its not going to be fixed. Yesterday we did go outside and enjoy the snow, but forgot to take the camera out, so no pics there. Otherwise a pretty uneventful, mundane week(end). So I thought I would post some past pics of previous Easter's.
Our church always has a sunrise service and then serves a potluck breakfast afterwards. Then we have our regular church service. Between the two there isn't a whole lot of time, so we usually go to my mom and dad's to get ready for church. The Easter bunny comes there and we take pictures. The picture in 07 has a different background than atleast 5 previous years. My mom and dad's couch is usally the background. Checkout pic 2008.

A friend of mine (Dzmitri Kuchin) – told me about Joomla: mentioning it as a system of his uncle's choice (making money in ex-change for making the plug-ins)… So, I could start studying the Joomla – to be-come a part of their team, in future. But now, I just re-act to some e-mails from Sandra97 – as there I am asked to help with trans-lations, in-to my own local language (of, the Republic – of «Belarus»).
I – like the possibility, of making my language more wide-spread…
And, to do this – I use your plat-form: through some Web front-end «inter-face».
This way – is not very easy; so, I am planning to use more specific soft-ware (GNU-based?) – to in-crease the typing rate… But, if I would not succeed – I will try to continue the usage of the tool you provided; that's not a pleasant thing, – as when it freezes (often; due to my not so ideal PC-administration deeds) – I lose my sanity. :-)
Thank you.

Meaning of "Chiquitita" by ABBA
Chiquitita is a song by the legendary Swedish pop group ABBA. Lyrically, Chiquitita sees the singer encouraging a good friend Chiquitita, who is downcast and sorrowful, to look at the brighter side of life and not let their sorrow to enchain and control them. The singer goes on to assure Chiquitita that they can rely on them and will always be a shoulder that they (Chiquitita) can cry on. So basically the lyrics of the song give hope to someone who is full of sorrow. It is not known whether the lyrics of Chiquitita are autobiographical or not. However, it is worth noting that shortly after the song came out, there were rumors that the song was written for Linda Ulvaeus, the daughter of ABBA band members Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus, who was only about 5 or 6 years old when her parents' marriage began falling apart. Other rumors had it that the song was about one of the maids who worked for one of the band members. Up till today, neither of the rumors has been confirmed.
Facts about the song "Chiquitita"
- The title of the song "Chiquitita" is not a name of a person, contrary to what some people think. The word is actually Spanish for the phrase "very little girl" or "little one". It is often used as a term of endearment for females.
- The song was written by ABBA band members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. The pair also handled the production of the song.
- Before settling on the title Chiquitita, the song had several working titles such as Chiquitita Angelina and In the Arms of Rosalita, among others.
- Chiquitita was officially released on January 16th, 1979 as the first single from the band's commercially successful and critically acclaimed sixth studio album titled Voulez-Vous, which is French for the phrase "Do You Want It".
- The song is one of the most successful songs that ABBA released throughout their entire career.
- The song peaked at number one in multiple countries across the globe, including Ireland, Belgium, Spain and Mexico. On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at number 29, whereas on the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at number 2.
- 50 percent of all profits made from this song went and still goes to UNICEF to help improve the lives of children all over the world.
- In 2006, when British singer Leona Lewis was participating as a contestant in the third series of the British reality television music competition The X Factor, she performed this song. Lewis went on to win the competition.
- Aside Leona Lewis, several other famous singers have covered the song over the years including Sinead O'Connor, Charo and Harangozo Teri.
