Dispatches from Cannes 2011 #2: Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life
Ronald Bergan
DATELINE CANNES, May 13, 2011. On approaching a Terrence Malick film, it has seemed impossible to avoid mentioning the long gaps between the films (20 years between Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line), the director's reclusiveness, and his footage fetishism (he was said to have shot one million feet of film for The New World). All of which has helped to build a mystique around him that may also have influenced one's assessments of his five films made over 38 years.
Now that Malick has become relatively prolific (he already has a new film in post-production), the great expectations that have built up between his movies will lessen. For me, it has been a case of diminishing returns because I consider his first film, Badlands (1974), his best. This is brought home even more forcefully by the story at the core of the portentous, overblown, and sanctimonious The Tree of Life.
Badlands is an ironic, fatalistic, and allusive picture of two semi-literate young outlaws in the South Dakota of the 1950s. The film has two narratives, a reading from the girl's diary of how she saw events and the contradictory objectivity of the director's narrative position. Needing only 94 minutes, Malick creates an American folk tale that is concerned with the corruption of innocence, the mythic expulsion from Eden, and the American propensity for violence. From this crime movie, he continued to develop these big themes to lesser effect in his subsequent films of different genres , rural epic (Days of Heaven), war movie (The Thin Red Line), and costume drama (The New World) , using a variety of narrative strands, all dealing with the same situation from various viewpoints. In The Tree of Life, Malick has returned to the 1950s mid-America of Badlands with a family drama of a martinet father (a closely cropped Brad Pitt) and a wistful mother (Jessica Chastain), given at one stage to elevation, and their three sons, one of whom dies inexplicably at age 19. This could have been a touching, even philosophical, exploration of familial love, loss, grief, and regret, told with the same eschewal of psychology as Badlands and running half of its 138 minutes. What Malick said about Badlands – in the days when he deigned to give interviews – could have been applied to The Tree of Life. "I tried to keep the 1950s to a bare minimum. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling; it can drown out anything. I wanted the picture to set up like a fairy tale, outside time."
Unfortunately, Malick decided to inflate this small-scale tale to illustrate The Meaning of Life, a title that could have been used if it hadn't already been taken for a slightly funnier film, or otherwise Life, the Universe and Everything. The film's lofty intentions are immediately made plain by opening with a quote from the Book of Job. "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding."
I suspect that Malick in his eyrie has been incessantly watching the Discovery and Natural Geographic Channels. So we are subjected to endless, albeit spectacular, shots of volcanoes erupting (not as good as in Haroun Tarzieff-Chris Marker's documentary Le Volcan Interdit); undersea footage of fish and corals (see the superior Jacques Cousteau film Le Monde du Silence); deserts, mountains and fields of sunflowers; and most absurdly, a couple of computer-generated prehistoric animals, all accompanied by sacred music and whispered voice-over banalities about the nature of God.
In the only contemporary sequences in Malick's entire oeuvre, we see Sean Penn (one of the sons now grown up) as a successful architect, gloomily roaming around an ultra-modern urban landscape reminiscent of television adverts for multinational companies. He is also seen, for some reason, walking in a desert and over icy ground. Penn then reappears at the risible climax, where the whole cast and extras stroll along a beach hugging and kissing one another and almost bursting into "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."
As someone who generally prefers classical music to pop, I should have welcomed hearing Bach, Mahler, Brahms, and Smetana, but it is used, both diegetically and non-diegetically, too indiscriminately in an attempt to bring some profundity to the images. (Kubrick knew how and when to use classical music in his films.) Also excessive is Malick's unrelenting reliance on the tracking shot and the zoom, which becomes an irritating stylistic tic.
The Tree of Life sharply divided the audience at Cannes, some cheering, some booing. On the whole, critics have given it serious consideration, with many employing purple prose as they grappled to describe their positive reactions to it. I respect their opinions, but, in this case, I cannot take seriously a film that takes itself so seriously. For all its cosmic pretensions, it is essentially a hollow, unsubtle exercise, far removed from the transcendental cinema of Dreyer, Bresson, and Tarkovsky. At one stage, I couldn't help being shamelessly reminded of Bela Lugosi's bizarre and meaningless interruptions in Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda, words that might have slotted easily into The Tree of Life. "Man's constant groping of things unknown, drawing from the endless reaches of time, brings to light many startling things. Beware… beware . . . beware of the big green dragon that sits on your doorstep. He eats little boys, puppy dog tails and big fat snails. Beware . . . take care . . . beware . . ."

CULTURE OF REVOLUTION · Intentional Destruction Celebrate that nothing is precious AT THE STANFORD D.SCHOOL, design thinking principles are ap- plied to business problems. One of these principles is a d.school mantra: "Nothing is precious." I remember watching a student tediously present his idea for an eco- product. His idea was carefully sketched out on a big piece of paper, but it was difficult to understand. I still don't know what he was trying to create. When someone said, "Nothing is precious," he laughed, ripped up the pa- per, and everyone cheered. 150 In most office cultures, people lack the support to jokingly dismiss their failure. Here, "Nothing is Precious" enabled a cultural celebration of both good and bad ideas. People felt comfortable sharing undeveloped thoughts. Here's why that's important: If your culture requires people to refine ideas before sharing, people spend weeks craſting their ideas. Then, two things happen: First, people become resistant to feedback. Second, feedback pro- viders cushion their input. In contrast, if your culture enables someone to share an idea scribbled on a napkin, he or she won't get upset if somebody rips that napkin apart. Imagine trying to say, "Why did you do that? I spent five minutes of my life working on that napkin!" By accepting that "nothing is precious," innovation becomes collaborative and ideas become more robust.

Soccer Sports Spectrum
MAGAZINE: Julie Ertz leads U.S. women's national team with power of love
By Becky York Jun 5, 2019
The United States' Julie Ertz (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
This story appears in the Summer 2019 issue of Sports Spectrum Magazine. To read the rest of it, and for more in-depth feature stories like it, subscribe to our quarterly magazine for only $18.
JULIE ERTZ KEEPS THE LOVE OF CHRIST AS HER MOTIVATION AS A LEADER ON THE U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM, A STAR IN THE NWSL, THE WIFE OF AN NFL PRO BOWLER, AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE ERTZ FAMILY FOUNDATION.
At age 23, Julie Ertz (née Johnston) represented the U.S. in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup as the second youngest player on the roster. Yet, she played every second of all seven games, and she helped her team finish with a 5-2 victory over Japan for the world title. It marked the third such championship for the Americans, the first group to win the sport's ultimate prize three times.
Four years later, Ertz is preparing to compete alongside her U.S. teammates at the 2019 World Cup in France. The tournament kicks off June 7, with the final to be played July 7 in Lyon. As the top-ranked team in the world, the Americans are favored to once again bring home a championship.
But for Ertz, there's one thing she professess to focus on even more than her game: her faith in Jesus Christ.
"I continue to work on all things, and that goes for my relationship with Christ as well," Ertz said in a recent interview. "[My faith] gives me a bigger perspective on life and my career."
Her soccer career continues to blossom. Since debuting with the senior national team in 2013, Ertz has earned more than 80 caps, including a 2016 Olympic appearance, and she was named the 2017 U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year. When not competing on the national team, Ertz plays as a midfielder for the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League. She was selected third overall in the 2014 NWSL College Draft by Chicago, and she finished the season as NWSL Rookie of the Year.
With whichever squad she's training and competing at the time, Ertz always engages in Bible study groups and pregame prayer huddles with some of her teammates.
"I want to stay true to who I am and my beliefs," she says. "These Bible studies really help me grow and keep me accountable. It brings me closer to my teammates; we continue to grow as players and persons."
Having grown up in a Christian home, Ertz knew who Jesus Christ was, but admittedly hadn't adopted a one-on-one relationship with Him until she left for college at Santa Clara University. While learning about who she was as a person, and who she wanted to be, she discovered to Whom she truly belonged.
"That's when my faith really took off," she says.
As a result, her lifestyle changed both on and off the field. With a new purpose and perspective in place, Ertz found a new freedom and motivation to work even harder at what she loved most.
"Now I'm playing soccer for a bigger purpose. I feel like I was putting a lot of my identity in my sport, but now that I have a greater perspective, I enjoy it so much more," she says.
And she soon realized how vital a relationship with Christ is for the journey as a professional athlete. "There are a lot more ups and downs in my pro career," she says. "My faith has been a huge part to help me when I feel like I can't do it alone. [God] is there to guide me through."
"There are so many things you can't control. I try to really be in tune with the Word and continue my growth. When I do, I'm a better athlete on the field. I've shifted my perspective so that when I go out, I go out to glorify Him." — Julie Ertz
Julie Ertz (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
Adding to the complexities of being a constantly-traveling professional athlete, Ertz is married to a fellow pro athlete: Zach Ertz of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. They may not often be in the same city together, but Zach has always been a supportive partner, as he is able to relate to the stresses and pressures of an athletic career.
The two met at a baseball game at Stanford University, 15 miles west of Santa Clara and where Zach was a standout tight end. Drafted by the Eagles in 2013, he has gone on to become a two-time Pro Bowler — and was a key figure on Philadelphia's 2017 Super Bowl championship squad. He scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, as the Eagles won their first Super Bowl by defeating New England, 41-33.
Julie was there in Minneapolis in person to watch Zach win a title — just as Zach was there in person in Vancouver, Canada, to watch Julie win the 2015 World Cup title.
"It's very nerve-racking," Zach said about watching Julie play …

Four suspects, three firearms in three days in the Tenderloin
by StaffReportTR	,	July 11, 2019
James Callier and Willie Williams
SAN FRANCISCO – Officers with the San Francisco Police Department in the Civic Center/Tenderloin Division recently had a busy weekend.
It started on Friday June 28 after 1:00 p.m. when, based on "information received from the community," officers began a surveillance around Larkin and O'Farrell Streets. They had their eyes on an individual and his vehicle.
Officers contacted the individual and then discovered a Mossberg rifle and scope in the car, which in fact had been reported as stolen and was bearing stolen plates. 61-year-old James Callier was booked for carrying a concealed firearm, being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, auto theft and stolen property.
The next day at 3:00 p.m. members of the Gang Task Force "recognized a subject from prior police contacts" as he tried to enter the Pride Festival. A records check revealed that the suspect had a felony warrant for weapons violations.
22-year-old Evonta Bailey resisted arrest and tried to run. Officers got him down on the ground and handcuffed him. Once they rolled him over, officers saw a loaded Taurus 9mm with a 12-round magazine. Bailey was "booked for carrying a concealed firearm in public, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and resisting arrest. He was also booked on two warrants for firearms violations and tow burglary warrants."
On Sunday June 30 at 7:30 a.m. officers spotted a Mercedes with no working brake lights. During a traffic stop it came to light that the plate son the Mercedes belonged to another vehicle. The registration for the Mercedes expired six months ago.
Inside the Mercedes officers found several scales, controlled substances, paraphernalia, a .40 caliber Sig Sauer pistol and cartridges. 43-year-old Willie Williams was "booked into San Francisco County Jail for carrying a concealed firearm on a public street, being a prohibited person in possession of firearm, being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition, possession of a high capacity magazine, possession for sale of a controlled substance, possession of controlled substances and Vehicle Code violations."
Later on Sunday June 30, officers spotted a man trying to enter the Pride Festival as he "attempted to conceal his backpack from officers." Security personnel stopped the man and officers confiscated the backpack.
26-year-old Ericleday Joseph McFadden Jr. told officers he had "protection" in the backpack. It was a loaded .25 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The suspect was "later booked into SF County Jail for carrying a concealed firearm in public and carrying a loaded firearm in public.

Marcus Aurelius: Superficial Cuts at Defense
03 Economy, 07 Other Atrocities, Budgets & Funding, Corruption, DoD, Government, Military
There is a lot of waste in the defense budget, much of it inserted by Congress for pork reasons, but DoD is also used to mask many other non-Defense programs, not just intelligence but in energy, health, foreign aid, etcetera. Breaking the bargain with military retirees on health care is both a major betrayal, and a window into an alternative, a national health care service that does not pay full price for pharmaceutical that rarely work.
Deficit Cutters Look To Pentagon Budget
By Donna Cassata, Associated Press
WASHINGTON–One war is done, another is winding down and the calls to cut the deficit are deafening. The military, a beneficiary of robust budgets for more than a decade, is coming to grips with a new reality — fewer dollars.
The election accelerated an already shifting political dynamic that next year will pair a second-term Democratic president searching for spending cuts with tea partyers and conservatives intent on preserving lower tax rates above all else, even if it means once unheard of reductions in defense.
President Barack Obama and Congress have just a few weeks to figure out how to avert the automatic cuts to defense and domestic programs totaling $110 billion next year. Those reductions are part of the so-called fiscal cliff of expiring Bush-era tax cuts and the across-the-board cuts that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned would be devastating to the military.
All sides are trying to come up with a deficit-cutting plan of $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Any solution that might emerge from the high-stakes negotiations before the Jan. 2 deadline likely would include some reductions in the military budget, which has nearly doubled in the last decade to half a trillion dollars. That amount doesn't include the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Projected defense spending over the next 10 years was expected to grow to $640 billion.
In the parlance of Willie Sutton, who supposedly said he robbed banks because that's where the money was, the military budget is where the dollars are for Washington negotiators.
"It is a big piggybank," said former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a Republican who along with Democrat Erskine Bowles had recommended $4 trillion in budget cuts over a decade, including deep reductions in defense, as part of a special presidential commission in December 2010.
"If you can't get in there and start getting stuff out of there when you have a defense budget of $740 billion bucks — and the defense budget of every major country on earth, 17 of them, including Russia and China, is $540 billion combined. Who is joshing who," said Simpson. "That's madness, madness."
One possible starting point is the recommendation of Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., who indicated earlier this year that he would be willing to accept additional defense cuts of $10 billion a year as part of any solution to avoid the across-the-board cuts.
"I think it's got to be all one package, and defense has to participate. Everything has to be on the table," said former Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., a predecessor of Levin at the helm of Armed Services who also insisted that the rising cost of Social Security and Medicare needs to be addressed.
Nunn pointed out that former Defense Secretary Bob Gates and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have said the greatest threat to national security is the nation's fiscal crisis.
In past negotiations, Congress and the White House had considered changes in the military's TRICARE health program, which costs more than $50 billion and has exploded into the biggest entitlement program for the Pentagon. Working-age military retirees have only seen small increases in their premium costs as their friends in Congress have fought any changes.
The Pentagon budget already is facing a 10-year reduction of $487 billion in projected spending, the result of the budget agreement reached by Obama and Congress in August 2011.
The days of staunch defense hawks in Congress easily turning back efforts to cut military spending are gone as war fatigue even has reached the fiercest guardians of military spending.
In September, Rep. C.W. Bill Young, R-Fla., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees defense spending, said the United States should withdraw its forces from Afghanistan. The current timetable calls for U.S. combat troops to be out by the end of 2014.
"We're killing kids who don't need to die," Young said in an interview with the editorial board of the Tampa Bay Times.
One of the most telling but little-noticed votes this past year came in the House, where a coalition of Democrats led by liberal Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., combined forces to persuade lawmakers to freeze defense spending at the current level, cutting $1.1 billion from the $608 billion bill.
The vote was 247-167, with 89 Republicans joining 158 Democrats. It was the clearest signal yet that defense dollars were no longer spared from budget cuts in a time of astronomical deficits.
"Austerity to me means spending less," Mulvaney said at the time. "Total government spending will be up this year. We're still facing a $1 trillion deficit. We need to do better to get our spending under control."
Conservatives from anti-tax leader Grover Norquist to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, have spoken openly about defense cuts. Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, has rejected the oft-repeated Republican contention that defense spending means jobs.
In an interview with the Cato Institute several months ago, he talked of combating "the idea that the Defense Department is a jobs program."
John Isaacs, executive director of Council for a Livable World and Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, said Republicans are split on defense spending and Norquist speaks for many of Congress' tea partyers.
"I think the tide has kind of turned in some ways against defense thanks to the tea party. They're so much against any kind of spending that they don't exclude defense from that," Isaacs said.
Absent from the next Congress will be many of the protectors of the Pentagon — 18-term Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
Phi Beta Iota: $10 billion a year is chump change. Now is where we see the true cost to the Republic of a full range of unethical ignorant Congressional staffs, think tanks, and Executive program managers who have no clue how to arrive at ethical evidence-based requirements while identifying and weeding out fraud, waste, and abuse. In the existing Planning, Programming & Budgeting System / Executiion (PPBS/E), every dollar is "equal" and there is no substantive process for measuring performance, return on investment, etcetera. The FIRST thing Congress and the White House should be doing is implementing the Automated Payment Transaction Tax in order to a) avoid having to make any cuts at all in the near term while also b) eliminating income and all other taxes as a burden on the public. THEN there should be an unrestricted look at the entire base across the government, with particular focus on DHS, DoD, and the IC, with the dual objective of a) cutting those programs in half over a ten year period and b) rebuilding DoD from scratch, with an emphasis on M4IS2, core force support to Whole of Government and multinational Operations Other Than War, and the three pillars of 21st Century military capacity: 450-ship Navy, long-haul Air Force, and air-liftable Army. Throw in The Chicago Plan Revisited and pardons for Wall Street executives, and you have a grand bargain.

Bill Patton
With the publication of The Athlete Centered Coach, Bill Patton is working hard to influence sports culture globally. There is a revolution going on in coaching, and Bill has always colored outside the lines, so he is ready for new lines to be drawn. He used to take his toys apart to see how they worked. He turned those experiences into
a strength. Now he creates innovative templates so that others can build on success and make it their own.
He is most proud of winning an NCS Championship and becoming a published author for the first time. Once when trying to speak another language to a player, he thought he was asking if she was embarrassed, but he used the word for pregnant. That got sorted out later.
Bill Patton is Tennis Professional and is currently coaching his 10th different high school with 30+ years of experience in the field. He has coached at several schools with many great results. Mainly, the players had a great time maximizing their games and playing on the teams. He is now featured on coachtube.com, with three different tennis courses.
Bill and his business partner Styrling Strother have started USATennisCoach, LLC, which trains, certifies, mentors, and collaborates with high school tennis coaches.
Bill, a Maverick Leader, is co-founder of USATennisCoachl, a Catalyst for Omni Athlete: The Future of Sport, a PTR and MTM Professional.
Hire Teachers and Community Builders, not Just Players
"Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do, and let them surprise you with their results."
~ General George S. Patton
One of the biggest mistakes in creating barriers to entry to the field of tennis coaching is most easily described by the phrase, 'Where did you play?'. There is an unwritten rule in the tennis world, that for someone to achieve recognition or be found valuable, then they must have played the tour, or at the very least college tennis. There is little validity or relevance to whether someone played at that level, in their ability to grow the sport. Just as in many sports, the former star player finds it very difficult to coach well, instead it's the player that was on the fringe of the sport, and probably did not play one minute of professional sport that become the all-time great coaches. But in tennis we create a barrier based on playing ability, but we don't place much of a barrier based on teaching competency, or leadership ability. In fact, artificial barriers are in place to keep people from ascending to positions of influence. In the year of being agreeable, let's finally stop and acknowledge this truth in our game. I hear a lot of rhetoric about inclusion, and being one team, but if we are denial about this fact, then it's not really going to work. So, who are the people we should be promoting and hiring?
A Major Blind Spot In Certifications
'Any fool can know, the point is to understand.'
I strongly urge every teaching organization, governing body and those who hire 'tennis professionals' to shift their focus toward whether the entry-level person can actually teach. What do they know about how people learn? Our certifications would be more relevant and valid if they were 15-25% based on learning theories, but they aren't. With the passing of Dennis Van Der Meer and Vic Braden, we lost two of the brightest lights in this arena, and are in danger of losing the oral history of everything they taught as easily as placing a book on a shelf to gather dust. If the entry-level pro is vitally interested in learning how to teach, rather than relying simply on what they know, then the world opens up to them for success, and the success of your organization. If not, then your organizations will suffer from a bad reputation of having deficient coaches who are certified, but non-certified 'coaches' are actually better equipped and thus your brand suffers. I myself am no longer certified by one large organization, and yet I don't feel less valuable in any way. Perhaps my degree in Industrial Psychology and my completion of Masters level work in Education prepared me more. So, look at the full qualifications of the person, and their background in teaching and find a lot of value there!
A Lack of Leadership Leads to a Lack of Community
'For a lack of vision, the people perish'
~ King Solomon
Now let's turn our attention to another vital aspect of skill that will serve the tennis industry well: Leadership. When someone aspires to be a program director and/or director of tennis, if they lack the leadership ability to bring people together in community, then a large or small minority in their group will always suffer. When those 'leaders' gravitate to the better players, the more popular people, those who agree with them, then they miss out on an amazing opportunity to make the group they serve bigger and better. When the people in charge really want to include as many people as possible and create a wide array of options for relationships and programs, then the sky is the limit for growth. All they have to do is listen for what is missing, and value dissenting opinions. When I have been new at a club as a director, I look for two things: 1. What is missing at the club that people want to have happened? 2. Hiring a pro who can teach, build community and is not thinking exactly like me. For example, in two different programs, I worked hard to hire a younger female coach. I wanted a different generation represented, and I also wanted the female approach to coaching in my program, as some players will gravitate more strongly to that. Another example, USTA leagues had crowded out casual play at one club, so I made a rule that USTA could not start until after 11 am on Saturday mornings and I promoted Drop-In Doubles from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM. Of course, some of the USTA Teams squawked about that! A fairly large community of players, who simply wanted social doubles, and had no interest in paying fees, so that they could have an inconvenient practice time and two matches per season, those people really loved it. So, that is the community building. I established a new program, set limits on another program, endured some criticism, and I did it to fit the people at my club. When you try to fit the people into programs, it's hit and miss. We have to stop missing.
Bring People Together, All Interested People
'Being the Queen is not all about singing, and being a diva is not all about singing. It has much more to do with service to people. Your social contributions to your community and your civic contributions as well.'
~ Aretha Franklin
One of the most apt descriptions of me came from my assistant camp director, who later became the camp director because of my implicit trust in her. She later became the Director of Tennis for the City immediately upon my departure. "Bill Patton, bringing people together!" It's not that hard, and I am only a bit hesitant to use myself as an example, but really it's something every director must do. Many Directors of Tennis spend too many hours on court to be able to do this. Clubs and other organizations would be wise to incentivize the Director with a % of membership dues income, and enough of a retainer to make it worth their time to hang out at the club watching USTA matches, hitting a few in Drop-In Doubles, being available to chat with people and make the introductions that lead to lifelong friendships. What I love most about my job, is when someone is lonely for whatever reason, they come to where I am and I introduce them to a new friend.
Strong Social Benefits, Clubs Solving Societal Problems
In my presentation at the Racquet Show in 2018, I shared that 1 in 4 people are now mentally ill. You have mentally ill people at your club. You can be a part of their solution and the solution to their club by including them with healthy people, or you can ignore the problem. I am very proud of my current club which is rebranded from a stodgy country club to a community wellness center that features golf. Tennis has received a huge boost from the rebranding, at a club that nearly completely ignored tennis for 105 years. I am building community, and when I first said 'Welcome to the tennis community' to one particular member, she was overcome with joy at that moment and it's now our running joke. You better believe I do a lot of player matching in her direction.
Be an Influencer, No Matter Your Station in Life
'I have come to believe over and over again, that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at risk of having it bruised or misunderstood'
~ Audre Lorde
Why are you reading my stuff? It's because in 2011 I decided to transcend the artificial barriers placed in front of me by the tennis people in charge. I made up my mind to become a thought leader to help change the influence of how decisions are made in our game. I told a former friend that, and he ridiculed me asking, 'What makes you think you are qualified to do that?' My response was that I have thoughts, and when I share them, people seem to like them, and 'I guess that makes me a thought leader'. If you are reading this and have stayed silent, please speak up! Social media has created for me an amazing platform because it brought about a democratization of information. I am able to reach my audience, and that alone is why you are reading this. (Thank you, Rich Neher, for befriending me and adding to my voice). Every other organization I have joined has limited me in some way, not that I have grandiose visions of what I can accomplish if left unfettered, so I am becoming more and more independent from them, and quite a few great coaches are doing the same. As soon as I was labeled as someone 'with an ax to grind' in my region, then I had to transcend that by going National since in my region I had people standing in my way. If you have people standing in your way, go around them. Once you have people blocking or subverting your efforts, those who work hard to create political influence, then it's time to go in another direction. If I agreed with everything they say, then I'm cool, but as soon as I have any dissenting opinion, there it was again, the ax. So, you the leader in tennis, look for those who think differently than yourself.
Every Voice Counts, Not Just The So-Called Experts
'Here is a list of fearful things: The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings, the rabid bite of the dog's of war, the voice of one who went before. But most of all the mirror's gaze, which counts us out to number our days.'
~ Clive Barker
In building a community for our game, we need every voice. When we brainstorm how to grow the sport, all ideas are good. Of course, those need to be boiled down until we can get to realistic action items. I want to challenge all the decision-makers at the top of the game to do these things. 1. Teach and act in a way that builds tennis community. 2. Hire people who know how to educate, know how to teach tennis. 3. Hire people that are not you, hire grandpas and grandmas, hire young up and comers, WOMEN COACHES, hire 3.0 to 4.0 players, hire school teachers, and P.E. Teachers, based on the idea that they have studied learning theory. 4. Build programs that build community and bring people together, and diminish the ones that crowd that out, you can't lose.

World share prices fell on Tuesday, snapping their longest winning streak since February after Chinese trade data gave a further sign the world's economic growth engine is sputtering and a big fall in oil prices triggered profit-taking.
Chinese imports plunged 20 percent in September, casting doubt on the strength of domestic demand in the economy, while oil fell more than 5 percent overnight after a report that OPEC continued to boost production.
Those factors overshadowed a bumper corporate merger deal, which saw the world's largest brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI.BR) take over SABMiller (SAB.L) in a cash and share package worth 68 billion pounds ($104.4 billion).
Bond yields and emerging market currencies fell too, while dimming prospects of a U.S. interest rate hike this year pushed the dollar lower and lifted the euro above $1.14 for the first time in a month.
"Many countries ... rely heavily on sales to China so unless this demand picks up in the coming quarters, not only are we going to see below 7 percent growth in the world's second-largest economy, it's going to decline sharply for many of its trade partners as well," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda in London.
The MSCI world share index fell 0.5 percent .MIWD00000PUS, its first fall in 10 sessions, ending the longest winning streak since February.
The FTSEuroFirst 300 index of leading European shares was down 1.4 percent at 1,409 points .FTEU3, Germany's DAX was down 1.5 percent .GDAXI, France's CAC 40 was down 1.9 percent .FCHI and Britain's FTSE 100 was down 0.9 percent .FTSE.
The ZEW survey for October from Germany, which will capture investor sentiment following recent market volatility and the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to stand pat on rates, could give European markets direction later on Tuesday.
In Asia earlier, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS fell 1 percent from a two-month high touched on Monday, while Japan's Nikkei .N225 fell 1.1 percent.
Futures markets pointed to a fall of around 0.5 percent at the open on Wall Street ESc1.
China's trade data for September showed a 3.7 percent fall in exports from the same period last year, less than the 6.3 percent drop forecast by economists in a Reuters poll. Imports, however, tumbled 20.4 percent.
The weakening economy prompted China's central bank on Monday to expand a scheme that increases banks' ability to lend, lifting mainland Chinese shares to seven-week highs.
On Tuesday, Shanghai shares .SSEC edged up around 0.2 percent. It was the index's fifth straight gain, a run not seen since July.
Crude prices recovered some of that ground on Tuesday, with Brent futures LCOc1 up 1 percent in early European trade to $50.37 per barrel.
The soft Chinese data and oil price weakness overnight were reminders that inflation is not a problem, which fed into the view that the Fed is in no hurry to raise rates.
Fed Governor Lael Brainard reinforced such expectations, saying late on Monday the Fed should hold off on any interest rate hike until it is clear that a global slowdown, difficulties in China, and other international risks will not push the U.S. recovery off course.
The yields on 10- and 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds fell 5 basis points to 2.04 percent US10YT=RR and 2.87 percent US30YT=RR, while benchmark German Bund yields were down around 1-2 basis points EU10YT=RR.
The dollar's value against a basket of six major currencies .DXY dropped to 94.5 on Tuesday, its lowest in almost a month, and the euro rose 0.5 percent to $1.1410 EUR=.
"The drop in oil prices has taken Treasury yields back down again, and tightening in the Treasury/Bund spread encourages euro/dollar to probe the top of the current range - $1.1460 is the key level ... and a test looks likely," said Societe Generale currency analysts in a client note on Tuesday.
Commodity-linked currencies also slipped, with the Australian dollar falling 0.7 percent to $0.7311 AUD=D4, off a two-month high of $0.7382 set on Monday.
Emerging market currencies also lost momentum after recent gains. The Indonesian rupiahIDR= and the Malaysian ringgit MYR=, big winners last week from broad relief rally in risk assets, both fell about 1 percent.

When these disasters occur, an array of management teams are mobilized to properly clean up and manage these disasters.

I know after yesterday's post many of you are curious as to how "operation cookie" drop went. Well…It was a smashing success!! Only 2 people swore at me when they saw me dropping off the cookies, and then swore at me a bit more while they were eating the cookies. I consider that a major success (I know what you are thinking…no I don't feel guilty, and yes I notice the hypocrisy), and I didn't eat a single Girl Scout cookie. I even got a bit carried away with the whole "running from Girl Scouts" theme, and told my classes that the Girl Scouts were chasing us while we were doing our sprints in Spinning, and they were trying to make us eat their cookies. Everyone laughed at this quite a bit, and it helped keep their minds off of all the sprints I was making them do in our Killer Ladders class.
I do have one small problem on the cookie front still…I have to go back to the grocery store tomorrow afternoon to get some more fresh produce and milk. However, I have my fail safe plan all ready for execution. This time I will go out the other exit where the Girl Scouts are not at. How is that for pure genius!?! Don't you wish you had my brains? Although, heaven help me if they are at both exits next time. Those girls can be pretty crafty little buggers. After all, they get merit badges for crafts!
Now to go from cookies to our book club meeting. We read the The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin. Most of our group found the book a bit predictable, monotonous, and farfetched. If you are reading this Ms. Goodwin, I'm so sorry. I don't like writing anything negative about books. I read this book last summer, and I found it to be a nice light read. We then discussed the fashion, food, and culture of the late 1800s, which is the time period the book was set in.
Our hosts made the theme for the evening "indulgence," so while we were discussing the book, we ate some gorgeous and delicious chocolate covered strawberries. Fruit and chocolate?…I don't see how this can be bad! Then, after our discussion we had chocolates, specialty cheeses, designer crackers, and chocolate cake from heaven. There were also magazine door prizes to go along with the whole fashion theme in the book and tourist magazines for England. Sorry I don't have more pictures for you of the wonderful food, but I had to leave early when my son and husband called saying they were stuck in the snow.
Next month we are reading The Dove Keepers by Alice Hoffman. Now, I'll be honest. I started this book last year, got stuck and set it down on page 82, and I haven't picked it back up since. Has anyone read this book? Opinions?
Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY I have going on for an autographed copy of The Fault in our Stars by John Green! I could not put this book down once I started it!!
It is Workout Wednesday time! This is a quick 15 minute workout that you can literally do anywhere! All you need is your own body! If you are unsure of how to do one of the exercises, there are links to examples on my Exercise Glossary page. Remember to stretch when you are done!

Sandall Park
Sandall Park in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, is a park you can enjoy every day, all year round. The site was officially opened as a park in 1940 on the site of a former brickyard. The park was known locally as the 'Boating Lake' as there used to be small boats available for visitors, before it changed its use to angling.
The park suffered a low ebb in the 80's and 90's, as an unloved open space. This has been drastically turned round, with much help and effort from Friends of Sandall Park, the park now offers a wide range of facilities and events throughout the year. The park has gone from strength to strength and continues to develop as a key feature to the local community and a destination attraction for many of the activities taking place.
Sandall Park offers public toilets including a Radar toilet, three play areas including inclusive play facilities, free car parking, disabled car parking, wheelchair accessible paths and disabled fishing pegs, a cafe and plenty of open recreational space to enjoy the open air.

OSCAR and John Obi Mikkel were both on target to ensure Jose Mourinho's winless streak didn't stretch to five games.
The Brazilian ace bundled over in the second-half after David Stockdale fumbled before Mikkel gobbled up a knock down from John Terry to put the Blues back on track.
Mourinho had scorned at the idea of Chelsea being in 'crisis' after a surprise midweek defeat in the Champions League against Basel.
What was even more surprising was that David Luiz and Juan Mata weren't even included in the matchday squad.
Samuel Eto'o retained his starting spot despite an ineffective performance on his debut against Everton.
But Fulham looked the more composed during the opening exchanges and had a good chance to go ahead after five minutes when Steve Sidwell peeled off his marker but flashed a Damien Duff cross with his head over the bar.
Chelsea nearly took the lead themselves through Samuel Eto'o a minute later. Branislav Ivanovic fired in a delicious cross, which Eto'o stretched for and diverted wide.
Petr Cech was then required in the 10th minute when he raced out of his area to thwart Darren Bent who was baring down on goal after a defence-splitting pass.
Bent then got another sighter at goal two minutes later but Cech reacted well to save with his legs.
Chelsea then appealed for a penalty when Eden Hazard went down, but Andre Marriner waved away appeals.
Other than that, the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock, was when David Stockdale got down low to repel a fierce Branislav Ivanovic strike on the stroke of half-time.
Chelsea broke down a resolute fulham seven minutes after the restart.
Oscar, who had been a nuisance, was in the right place at the right time to bundle home a cross that Stockdale had fumbled.
Eto'o was given a generous applause by the fans when he was substituted in the 63rd minute, although Fernando Torres was on the periphery again.
Ramires then appealed in vain in the 73rd minute when he tangled with Fernando Amorebieta in the box, but Marriner wasn't interested.
Ramires had a great chance to make it two but blazed over.
And Mikkel wrapped up the points when he latched onto Terry's knockdown from a corner by hooking home.
It may not have been vintage Chelsea, but all that Mourinho would have cared about was the result.

Porn Star Tayte Hanson's on the Body Dysmorphia in the Gay Porn Industry
September 14, 2017	Comments 8 Pink Panther	1200 Views
"It only took a few months after entering the adult film industry to see the kind of toxicity that runs within it. The warped sense of self I already felt was magnified more than I'd ever imagined possible." ~ Tayte Hanson
Tayte Hanson is, and always was, more than a pretty face. As we discovered when he wrote "Not My President, Not My Country" back in November, Tayte is very politically and culturally aware — and able to express it with impressive clarity and articulation.
His self-respective piece, Having Body Dysmorphia in Gay Porn Is a Nightmare, just published by Vice, is a thoughtful and insightful read. It's not that his body isn't as pretty as the rest: it's that he often doesn't feel that way.
Being fit before filming is part of a porn star's job. In this case, it's not that Tayte isn't ready for his close-up. It's the forces inside and out that make him think he isn't. We all gain a few pounds now and then. We all slack at gym from time to time. But when you get naked and filmed for a living, there's nowhere to hide. Even, as in Tayte's case, you really have nothing to hide in the first place.
"The body I see weighs 160 pounds, stands at 5′ 9, and clocks in at a mere 4.5 percent fat. By the books, I am in the top tenth percentile of humans walking the planet, fitness-wise. Yet I feel inadequate. I wouldn't describe myself as having low self-esteem, but when I look in the mirror, I feel overweight."
"By the time I shot my first porn, while I was in a place where I felt I'd made huge strides in terms of my mental health and body image, I was not prepared for the onslaught of internet trolls who'd consume my work, waiting to feast on every and any vulnerability they could."
"One of my good friends in the industry once told me a story about his very first shoot, at which he overheard his director and another model talking in a side room about how bringing him across the country to film was a bad idea and his pictures "looked much more fit" than he did in person."
"To be clear, I realize the porn industry is one that's necessarily about the objectification of our bodies, and it's important to remain at the top of your game. But he certainly was at the top of his game—and overhearing those comments caused my friend serious pain and led to an eating disorder. Over the year that followed, he put himself on an extreme diet and started taking steroids. After 14 months, he was hospitalized and needed both physical and mental therapy to treat his continuing body dysmorphia."
"As human beings, we don't have to be perfect—we'd be pretty fucking boring if we were. But if we are to live with some degree of happiness, we have to be willing to love ourselves and all our flaws, both those that are real and perceived. I'm still working out which is which, and learning to love myself in the process."

This body dismorphia is something I'm yet to completely understand, especially when it applies to people who have beautiful bodies and yet feel like their bodies and ugly and incomplete.
Do you understand how you can have everything you want and still be depressed/suicidal? Maybe if you try to extrapolate that. It's a mental illness.. Nothing is wrong but your brain is convinced something is wrong.

Biko, come chop eba abeg. Someone will always av that body u think u want.
I look at my self in the mirror, my shirt is raised, no pacs but a belly that's very far from being distended and I smile.
No body dysmorphia thing here. Thank God!
Body dysmorphia ends where self love starts. I love myself too much to think too deep of what the next person has to say about me.
to some extent I understand where he's coming from. he's in an industry that requires one to constantly look a certain way in order to succeed ,sometimes its not just the look but how these look translate in pictures and films . Google pretty girls makes awful models or read Ashley mears pricing beauty (although mostly on fashion modeling but somehow can related to this ) to get a glimpse on what those in industries based solely on looks do to remain relevant and the reason why people who originally feel to be pretty would be the first to be shown the door in such industries

A hypervisor is a set of program that allows hosting on a single hardware, with ability to run its own programs. In addition, each virtual machines can run its own virtual machines individual programs as it will appear that the system has the host devices memory, processor, and resources. However, it is actually the hypervisor that is allocating those resources to the virtual machines. In effect, a hypervisor allows you to have several virtual machines all working optimally on a single piece of computer hardware.
Today, hypervisors are fundamental components of any virtualization environment. It can act as the operating system for virtualized systems. Moreover, the hypervisor has the permission to access all the physical devices existing on a server along with access to the memory and disk as well as control of all aspects and parts of a virtual machine.
Commonly, hypervisors are classified into bare metal and native, and embedded and hosted.
These hypervisors are run on the host's hardware to control it and also for managing the virtual machines on the host.
These hypervisors are run as software using an operating system such as Windows, FreeBSD, or Linux.
In general comparison, Type I hypervisors run directly on the hardware while a hosted hypervisor needs an operating system to perform its tasks. This feature allows the bare metal hypervisors to be faster and efficient, as these devices do not require passing through the operating system as well as the other layers that usually slow them down. In addition, type I hypervisors are more secure with various security options than type II hypervisors.
But, hosted hypervisors offer seamless setup operation than bare metal hypervisors as it adopts the user's operating system to work with. These are also compatible with a broad range of hardware.
Offered by VMware, the vSphere Hypervisor is a free bare-metal hypervisor that virtualizes servers so that the users can consolidate their applications on less hardware. The hypervisor's built-in management tool creates and provisions the users in virtual machines within few minutes.
Moreover, its Advanced Memory Management allows over committing memory resources and performing page sharing and compression to optimize performance of memory resources. Moreover, providing storage usage efficiency, the VMware hypervisor allows overall locating storage resources beyond the actual capacity of the physical storage.
In addition, the VMware Hypervisor comes with hardened drivers for high reliability. It guarantees ideal performance for vSphere Hypervisor via partnerships with independent hardware vendors.
Introduced in 2008, Hyper-V from Microsoft is a shortened as well as standalone version of Windows Server where Microsoft removed irrelevant programs to virtualization services, and Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make the server as compact as possible. Plus, the server needs lesser maintenance time and it is less vulnerable, as there are fewer components which result in less patching.
Hyper-V is a hybrid hypervisor which is installed from the operating system using the windows role adding wizard. However, during installation it redesigns the operating system architecture and becomes just like a next layer on the physical hardware. It is specially designed to run the user workloads. Moreover, it allows seamless migration of data from on-premises to a Windows Server virtual machine in the cloud.
The Hyper-V comes with a unique built-in security for virtualized workloads. The user can use Shielded Virtual Machines for encrypting user data virtual machines with BitLocker and help ensure they run only on hosts approved by the Host Guardian Service. Moreover, it allows deploying various applications on multiple operating systems with best-in-class support for Linux.

Owners of Budatai restaurant file for Ch. 11 bankruptcy
November 3, 201601007
Budatai opened its doors in Condado in 2007.
The owners of Asian fusion restaurant Budatai, headed by renown Chef Roberto Treviño, have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing more than $400,000 in debt, according to the documents on record at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Restaurant owners Out of this World Inc. filed the voluntary petition, which was signed by company President, and Treviño's business partner, Francisco de Juan, on Oct. 31. The company's board of directors approved the move on Oct. 22, according to petition documents.
The 14-page filing lists the restaurant's biggest creditors as the Municipality of San Juan ($128,852), Banco Popular de Puerto Rico ($100,000), and supplier Drouyn & Co ($47,546).
Budatai is located in the Condado sector of San Juan, facing the "Ventana al Mar," which offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The restaurant opened in 2007 and is one of several eateries fronted by Treviño, along with Bar Gitano and El Barril.
Earlier this week, it was reported that another one of Treviño's restaurants, La Pizza La Pasta, closed after just five months of operations. That eatery had replaced Casa Lola, a culinary concept that for nearly five years offered traditional Puerto Rican fare with a twist. Both were located within a lavish mansion facing the Condado Lagoon on Ashford Avenue.
As recently as August, Treviño confirmed the revamping of Budatai's menu, with new options "more in tune with the economic times we're facing," he told a local newspaper.

Hi – this is the first time I have had time to poke around your site. You've got some great shots and it's really nicely done!
I just stumbled upon your blog and am very interested in reading more. Diving is something I am hoping to eventually get into, so this will be great to read. Thanks for sharing!
Great shot of Danny, one of your best.
Great website, very cool and professional, chock full of excellent content, and well written to boot. Try to find some 'bloons and ducats next time !

College Hill Baptist Church and Jackson State University have a connection which began in 1907 when the late Dr. B. Baldwin Dansby, president of then Jackson College, deeded a tract of land just west of the campus to build College Hill Baptist Church.
On Sunday, Oct. 28 College Hill celebrated its second annual 'College Hill JSU Day' during the 11 a.m. service. The sanctuary was filled to capacity with an audience comprised of JSU students, faculty members and College Hill Church congregations.
JSU's University Concert Chorale, under the direction of W. Cortez Castilla, provided music.
The month of October holds a special meaning for clergy across the country but for the pastor of College Hill Missionary Baptist Church, the month long celebration includes a special day of recognition. Not only is it National Clergy Appreciation Month, but it is also the month that Dr. Michael Titus Williams stepped into the pulpit as the pastor of one of the oldest African American churches in Jackson….


At the bottom of the ocean, the containment cap on the ruptured effectively is capturing 630,000 gallons a day and pumping it to a ship at the floor, and the quantity could nearly double by subsequent week to roughly 1.17 million gallons, mentioned Coast Guard Adm.

BP additionally plans to usher in the tanker from the North Sea on Monday to help transport oil and an incinerator to burn off among the many crude. The tanker is at present used to shuttle oil from North Sea rigs to the shores of Scotland, and its deployment in the Gulf has been part of the broader plan to increase the amount of crude brought to the floor as quickly as a brand new and improved cap-and-assortment system is put in over the leaking well.

I am listening to the an identical darkish rumors which counsel fracturing and a whole bleed-out are already underway. Rumors additionally counsel an enormous collapse of the Gulf flooring itself is within the making. They're just rumors however it's time for geologists or related consultants to finish their deafening silence and communicate to those potentialities.
All analysts agreed that the ultimate invoice for the Deepwater Horizon incident will depend on how rather a lot injury is introduced on.

Q: Existence of finite dimensional ample subspace This result is from M F Atiyah , K Theory.
Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $X, ~ \Gamma(E)$ be set of sections of $E$. An ample subspace is a subspace $V$ of $\Gamma(E)$ such that the map $\varphi: X \times V \to E$ defined as $\varphi(x,s)=s(x)$ is surjective. For trivial bundle there exist a finite dimensional ample subspace.
Atiyah gives the following result : If $E$ is any bundle over a compact Hausdorff space then  $\Gamma(E)$ contains a finite dimensional ample subspace.
I have some doubts in the proof given below :
By compactness of $X$ we can take finite open cover $\{U_{\alpha } \}$ such that $E|U_{\alpha}$ is trivial. Then there exist finite dimensional ample subspace $V_{\alpha}$ of $\Gamma(E|U_{\alpha})$. Also there exists partitions of unity $\{ p_{\alpha} \}$ dominated by $U_{\alpha}$.
Define $\theta_{\alpha}: V_{\alpha} \to \Gamma(E)$ such that $ \theta_{\alpha}(s)(x)= p_{\alpha}(x) s_{\alpha}(x)$ when $x \in U_{\alpha}$ and $0$ otherwise.
Then the book says the $\theta_{\alpha}$ defines a homomorphism
$\Theta: \prod V_{\alpha} \to \Gamma(E)$.
Image of  $\Theta$ is the required ample subspace.
My doubts are mainly the following

*

*Does partitions of unity has some role in the definition of $\theta_{\alpha}$ ? Usually partition of unity is used to prove that the function agrees on the intersection. But here we don't have intersection for $U_{\alpha}$ and its compliment.

*How does $\Theta$ is defined ? I was thinking $\Theta((s_{\alpha}))(x)= \sum \theta_{\alpha}(s)(x)$ Is it correct? Then on points $x \in X$ such that $x \in U_{\alpha}$ for exactly one $\alpha$ the value of  $\Theta((s_{\alpha}))(x)= p_{\alpha}(x)s_{\alpha}(x)$. Mean while if $x \in U_{\alpha} \cap U_{\beta}$ then $\Theta((s_{\alpha}))(x)= p_{\alpha}(x)s_{\alpha}(x)+p_{\beta}(x)s_{\beta}(x)$.

*Can we  construct  $U_{\alpha}$ such that they are disjoint ?

A: *

*To define $\theta_\alpha$ we can take any $s_\alpha : X \to [0,1]$ whose support is contained in $U_\alpha$. Then for each $s \in V_\alpha$ the function $\theta_\alpha(s) : X \to E$ is a continuous section. However, that the $s_\alpha$ form a  partition of unity subordinated to $\{U_\alpha\}$ will be needed later.

*Your definition of $\Theta$ is correct. Note that the sum is finite. But $\Theta((s_{\alpha}))(x)= p_{\alpha}(x)s_{\alpha}(x)+p_{\beta}(x)s_{\beta}(x)$ is satisfied only if $x \notin U_{\gamma}$ for all $\gamma \ne \alpha,\beta$.

*You cannot expect that the $U_\alpha$ are pairwise disjoint. If you have more than one $U_\alpha$, this would imply that $X$ is not connected. However, there exist compact connected $X$ with non-trivial vector bundles.
