Supporting Gay, Bi & Questioning Men in the Brotherhood: An Interview with Rich Dalton
Chris Sol
On an evening in late July, 2020, I met with Rich Dalton, Captain of two squads: The weekly Red Dragon squad, and monthly Sacred Band squad, which is open to Brotherhood members who are gay, bi, or questioning.
We chatted about his experience in Samurai Brotherhood, supporting men in Sacred Band, following his career path from New York City to Vancouver, and getting sued for ten million dollars.
We sat across from each other in chestnut-brown leather armchairs, in the amenity room of his Coal Harbour apartment building.
As always, Rich's natural resting intensity is permeated by sincerity, playfulness, and passion—each radiating freely through his eyes and voice.
Q: What is the Samurai Brotherhood to you?
It's men getting together to spend time with each other, and learning to trust each other. We do that by being vulnerable, by sharing what's going on in our lives, acknowledging our shadow, and being the best men we can be.
Q: What are a few core benefits you've experienced from it thus far?
I remember at a retreat one time, Phil (the founder) asked me very directly, "Why are you here?" And I said, "I'm here to break down the barriers that I have between myself and straight men." Because when I joined in May 2016, that barrier was a total blind spot for me.
Even more than that, I think the key thing is becoming more of a King in my life. By becoming a leader in the Brotherhood, I've actually become a better owner of a business. I'm just better at being at the helm and delegating. I'm better at being direct. I take things less personally.
Q: You also run The Sacred Band. Could you explain what that is, and what function it serves in the community?
The Sacred Band is open to gay, bi, bi-curious, and questioning guys in the brotherhood. I started it in the Summer of 2019. The purpose is for guys to delve more into their sexual orientation. And for some guys, that is their shadow side. It's something they're trying to hide from other people.
There is the Kinsey scale, which is a scale of sexuality from 1 to 6. On one end, it's completely heterosexual. On the other end, it's completely gay. And then there's everything in between. Especially for guys who are not at the extremes, it can be very tough at first. There's a lot of wondering. "Who am I? What is this? I'm attracted to women, but I don't know… I mean, I had a dream last night that I was jerking off my buddy, and I kind of liked it."
I wouldn't say I'm 100% gay. But it was easier for me to come out because there was so much certainty. There was no doubt. I think there's a lot of questioning in men because there's this notion that you're either one or the other. Of course, there's bisexuality, which would include everything in between. But still, our society tries to polarize people to be at one end. It's only recently where it has become a lot more acceptable to come out as bi.
Q: When you set up Sacred Band, you made it a pre-requisite to be in a regular, weekly squad. Why is that?
I think there's a benefit to have a mix of gay and straight guys in the squads. And I didn't want it to be segregated, where we have our monthly secret group that's limited to certain categories of people.
Because a lot of gay, bi, and questioning men have wounding with straight men, or at least the same barrier that I had. And that can be healed by being around straight men—being open and vulnerable with them, even without discussing sexual orientation. It comes from the same trust that builds between anyone in a squad and learning to trust other men.
I always do encourage the guys to bring stuff to their squads, whenever they feel comfortable enough. However, I'd say the big reason Sacred Band exists is because sharing this stuff is so difficult for some guys. Unfortunately, they're not going to bring it up in their regular meetings. They're not going to say, "Hey, I'm worried that if I get married, I'm going to realize I'm gay." Our monthly meeting is just a more comfortable space to do that.
Q: Have you noticed any key patterns of men's processes in Sacred Band?
Yeah, I think the commonality is there is still some shame that gay and questioning men feel. One particular point of shame, to be blunt, is about getting penetrated. There's a lot of history behind that. For example, in South American culture, the guy who is penetrating is "straight," and the guy getting penetrated is "gay," and therefore perceived as lower in some way.
And I think there's also shame in something that I've sort of broken through, which is thinking straight guys are hot. Or thinking guys in general are hot.
Of course, there no shame in it. But I've done a lot of work on that. That was big piece of fucking shame for me. And if a straight guy thinks a lesbian is hot, he doesn't feel guilty thinking, "Well, she wouldn't be attracted to me." But that was something I realized in the Brotherhood, and also through other work that I've done. Since then, I've had huge breakthroughs in that area. My own squad is aware of the breakthroughs, and they're totally supportive.
And you know what's interesting—many guys have said that they just feel a lot more love in Sacred Band. It's hard to say why. And I don't mean to come across like gay men have something straight men don't. But to a certain degree, there is.
I think it's becoming more acceptable for straight guys to express their love to one another—brotherly love. Brotherly love and romantic love are two very different things. And there's often the concern that one might be interpreted as the other. I think there's still a lot of history and baggage around that.
Whereas when you're in a group of gay men, you've already broken all the norms. You've already dropped that baggage. There is this notion of, "Fuck that, I don't care. I can express my love to men." And I think there's still some inhibition with straight men.
I think things are changing a lot. And I think men in the Brotherhood are definitely much more expressive and open. You can have edge, and you can have love. They can exist together. But I do notice there's something different happening in Sacred Band.
Q: On a personal note, you were in New York for the majority of your life, right?
Yeah, I grew up on Long Island, and worked on Wall Street for a while. I was a computer programmer in a bank, right across from where the World Trade Center used to be. When the towers collapsed, they put a big slash in the building I had worked in. I did that for five years. And about half way through—way before understanding True Calling, or anything like that—I just knew that I wanted some field where I could make a difference.
So, I thought, "Journalism. That's it." I left a well-paying job and started grad school. Twenty-eight years ago, I knew the earnings estimates were under 20k a year. But I had just read the book, Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow. And I knew this is what I wanted to do. By the time I left that career, I was making four times what I thought possible.
Initially, I spent two years working in Missouri, or "Misery." Then I got hired at Newsday in New York. It was my hometown newspaper. There's really like four newspapers in the New York area: The New York Times, The Daily News, The New York Post, and Newsday. I covered technology, and then got into computer-assisted reporting, where you analyze data. So, instead of just interviewing a person, you're also "interviewing" numbers and figures.
Then I became a consumer reporter, as well as an investigative journalist. There was actually one piece I wrote that led to me getting sued for ten million.
A car dealership had overcharged an autistic man several thousand dollars, and undervalued his trade in. I drew the whole story out of the sales manager, and people ended up protesting in front of the dealership. That dealership ended up closing, and the owner filed a libel lawsuit against me. I was in Vancouver by that time, so I got free trips back to New York for depositions. But the judge finally tossed it out because I had everything recorded.
Q: Unbelievable. And what you do now?
I developed this method to help students excel on the SAT. That's what my company, Your Score Booster, teaches. We get students into Harvard and Stanford, all the top universities.
Every career I've had sort of built on the previous one by accident. First, I was a computer programmer. Then, as a journalist, it turned out there was this niche doing the computer assisted reporting. So, I was a journalist using my computer science skills. While in New York, I did a training to teach the SAT, and continued on when I came to Canada. Newspapers were really dying at the time, and continue to, so I realized I needed to pivot to a different career.
I would just go to the library, take a full SAT, and sort of crack the code. It's all math, reading, and writing. And that's my background. My undergrad degree was dual, math and computer science, plus journalism for grad school. So, I took the actual test until I got a perfect 800 on the reading and writing sections. Eventually, the test administrator ended up sending me a letter banning me from taking the test (Rich laughs) Because its graded on a curve, they said, "You're interfering with the validity of the scoring and security of the examination," or something like that.
I love that phenomenon, where the little turns we take in life end up incorporating some core skills from our background, and build on the next thing.
Totally. I remember my boyfriend at the time said, "You'll use your journalism and computer science in your new career." I just didn't foresee it.
Sometimes I lament that I didn't get into men's work earlier. And then I think, well, I sort of made some great decisions anyway. Early on, I feel like I was guided by some principles. Men's work must be natural fit for me because I feel like it was in me for a long time.
Q: To close—In our squads together, what would you want straight men to know, and what would you want gay, bi, and questioning men to know?
For straight guys, there's definitely stuff you can learn from gay relationships. In fact, I just read an article in the New York Times called, "How to Make Your Relationship Gayer." It was geared to straight people. In a study, gay male couples reported the lowest levels of distress in relationships.
Because the biggest factor in determining strife in a relationship is measuring how household chores are shared, particularly washing dishes. In relationships where heterosexual couples take on traditional roles, where the woman is left with household chores, there's more strife. The article described how, in gay relationships, you can't rely on gender stereotypes about who does what. So those things naturally fall to the person for whom it would be more natural to do.
And for gay, bi, bi-curious, and questioning guys, I'd say the same. You can learn from straight men.
And what I really want them to know is that: The Brotherhood is totally open to all men regardless of sexual orientation. It really doesn't matter. And if you think it does, you've got a story.
When I stepped up to be a captain of a weekly squad, I don't think I dealt with the shadow side of me that said, "How the fuck can a gay guy lead a group of mostly straight men?" As I've become more self-aware, I see it come up. But now I'm beyond that. The men in my squad are so friggin' supportive that it doesn't matter. It blows any concerns I might have out of the water.
As a gay man, I had a lot of hang ups and blind spots until I did men's work. I've become more aware of my feelings and my triggers, and made a lot of progress.
For current squad members of Samurai Brotherhood, The Sacred Band welcomes all men who would like monthly, confidential support in exploring and embracing their sexuality. If you'd like to learn more, visit the webpage, or contact Rich Dalton via email at – thesacredbandyvr@gmail.com.

Johannes Hendrik Frederik Coenraad (Frederik) Nachtweh (Deventer, 21 februari 1857 – Rotterdam, 1 maart 1941) was een Nederlandse schilder, aquarellist, tekenaar en academiedocent.

Leven en werk
Nachtweh was een zoon van Johannes Hendrik Georg Nachtweh, trompetter-majoor, en Geertruida Maria Rommenie. Hij werd opgeleid aan de Deventer Tekenschool bij Jan Striening. Hij behaalde in 1878 de MO-akte voor handtekenen. Een jaar eerder was hij al -op proef- aangenomen als hulpleraar handtekenen aan de Tekenschool. Hij vervolgde zijn opleiding aan de Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten als leerling van August Allebé en Barend Wijnveld. Nachtweh ontving tweemaal de Koninklijke Subsidie voor Vrije Schilderkunst (1882, 1883). Hij was tekenleraar in Amsterdam tot hij in 1884 verhuisde naar Rotterdam. Hij trouwde het jaar erop met Jannette Jacoba Amelia Roest (1863-1950), uit dit huwelijk werden vijf kinderen geboren.

Nachtweh schilderde en tekende onder meer stadsgezichten, landschappen, stillevens, portretten en genrevoorstellingen in de trant van de Haagse School. Volgens Scheen werden zijn schilderijen "van de signatuur ontdaan en van een meer bekende 'Haagse School'-naam voorzien". Hij was lid van Arti et Amicitiae en nam deel aan diverse exposities, zoals de tentoonstellingen van Levende Meesters en de Internationale Koloniale en Uitvoerhandel Tentoonstelling, waarbij zijn werk meerdere malen werd bekroond.

In 1884 werd Nachtweh docent aan de Academie van Beeldende Kunsten en Technische Wetenschappen in Rotterdam. Tot zijn leerlingen behoorden Gerard Altmann, Floris Arntzenius, Cornelia Baumann, Else Biermans, Gesina Boevé, Willem Boon, Arie Broere, Agnes Canta, Jan van Heel, Toon Kelder, Hortense Kempe, Gerrit David Labots, Henri van Lamoen, Louis Landré, Rijk van Lavieren, Cornelis Gerrit van Leeuwen, Herman Mees, Joris Ponse, Leo Ponse, Huibert Antonie Ravenswaaij en Everardus Warffemius. Vanaf 1898 was hij daarnaast als tekenleraar verbonden aan de Inrichting voor Doofstommenonderwijs in Rotterdam. Hij ging in 1923 met pensioen.

Nachtweh overleed in 1941, op 84-jarige leeftijd. Hij werd begraven op de algemene Begraafplaats Crooswijk.

Victims of Boy Scout-Related Abuse Come Forward Before Bankruptcy Bid
Published on Feb 19, 2020 at 2:19 pm in Sexual Crimes.
Currently, more than 3,000 men are suing the Boy Scouts of America for allowing pedophiles inside the organization to prey on boys. It's important for any other victims to take legal action as quickly as possible, as the organization has now filed for bankruptcy.
With news of the bankruptcy bid, it's important for victims of Boy Scout-related abuse to come forward before the Chapter 11 process is finalized. Failing to do so could risk not fully holding the negligent party accountable for the incidents of abuse that wrongfully occurred.
Allegations Against the Boy Scouts
Files held by the Boy Scouts are estimated to contain the names of 7,819 Scout leaders who allegedly preyed on over 12,000 boys. The files go back to 1944, but currently, only files from 1965 to 1985 have been made public. The organization is keeping the remaining files private. A number of the victims are coming forward with allegations and seeking recovery for what they experienced.
In addition to refraining from informing the public about instances of abuse, the organization also housed a probation program. This put Scout leaders who had been caught sexually abusing Scouts on probation and allowed them to continue scouting. As a result, it's likely the abuse continued.
Currently, the organization is claiming to be safer than ever before. According to an official statement regarding policy and preventing abuse, "From Mandatory youth protection training and background checks for all volunteers and staff, to policies that prohibit one-on-one interaction between youth and adults and require that any suspected abuse is reported to law enforcement, our volunteers and employees take youth protection extremely seriously and do their part to help keep kids safe."
It's estimated there are currently more than 1.26 million Cub members, 830,000 Boy Scouts, and 960,000 adult volunteers with the Boy Scouts of America. Even if it's true the organization is safer for children, that does not change what abuse victims have been through. That's why it's important for those individuals to come forward and take legal action.
Bankruptcy and the Victims Compensation Trust
In the midst of facing mounting legal costs from defending itself against the lawsuit alleging sexual abuse of boy, the Boy Scouts has filed for bankruptcy protection. According to a spokesman from the nonprofit, filing had "two objectives: equitably compensate victims who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue carrying out its mission for years to come."
The organization plans to use the Chapter 11 process to create a Victims Compensation Trust to compensate victims. At this time, only the national organization has filed for Chapter 11. All local councils that provide programming are financially independent. Abuse cases filed against the Boy Scouts in state courts will be halted and transferred to federal bankruptcy court for adjudication.
According to Oregon attorney Stephen Crew, filing for bankruptcy does not mean the Boy Scouts is broke. It means that the organization has gotten to the point it's having difficulty managing the number of claims against it, which is affecting cash flow.
Another attorney, Michael Barasch, who represents hundreds of sex abuse survivors, believes the organization is hiding behind the Bankruptcy Code, instead of recognizing its responsibility to fully compensate survivors. When silence is enforced, it's likely to exacerbate the suffering of the victims. In light of the bankruptcy announcement, other sexual abuse survivors are starting to come forward with their stories.
The filing of bankruptcy brings about problems for abuse victims looking to take legal action. While the process is typically shorter than going to trial, each individual will lose the opportunity for a jury trial in state court. This benefits the Boy Scouts because information regarding fact patterns of abuse won't be presented to juries. That's why it's important for victims of Boy Scout-related abuse to file their claims before the bankruptcy is finalized.
Helping Victims Come Forward
Coming forward with claims of sexual assault can be one of the most challenging actions an abuse victim takes. In many cases, however, it's the only way to hold the responsible person or entity accountable for their actions.
At Thomas Law Offices, we believe victims of sexual assault deserve to have their voices heard. While these claims can result in difficult and emotionally taxing trials, it's often the only way to seek and receive justice.
If you have questions about filing a claim against the Boy Scouts of America or what the bankruptcy action could mean for future claims, contact our lawyers today. We have extensive experience helping clients with abuse cases, and we're prepared to take yours on. Reach out today for help.

Gamers Haven't Been Rushing to Pay for Super Mario Run
According to a new report, only 3 percent of downloaders paid $9.99 to unlock the full game
Pocket Gaming
by Brent Dirks
Even Mario hasn't tempted gamers to spend money. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, research firm NewZoo estimates that only 3 percent of users have decided to pay for Super Mario Run.
$30 million in revenue for Nintendo
Super Mario Run is any Nintendo fans dream. But most don't seem to be willing to pay for the privilege.
The game is free to download for the iPhone/iPod touch and all iPad models, but it is basically a demo version. Gamers can pay a $9.99 in-app purchase to unlock the entire title. At least according to early reviews, the unique pricing model wasn't well received by gamers.
NewZoo's research estimates that Nintendo has made around $30 million in gross revenue so far:
Market research firm Newzoo estimates that "Super Mario Run" has generated more than $30 million in gross revenue, which suggests about 3 million players have bought the full game. That is a little over 3% of the estimated 90 million downloads of the game. Paying customers represented about 2% of King Digital's monthly unique users before the "Candy Crush" maker was acquired by Activision last year, and mobile-game maker Zynga showed a similar representation in its most recent quarterly results.
In our original review, Christine Chan had some high praise for the game:
I've been waiting a long time for a Mario game on iOS, and it still feels a bit weird that the day has finally arrived. Honestly though, it took me a bit of warming up to the fact that this is not the traditional Mario platformer where you have complete control over Mario, but the more I play it, the more I'm enjoying it for what it is: a one-handed Mario platformer for mobile. The modernized graphics are gorgeous on Retina screens (albeit have some minor flaws with textures), the sounds and music just make me smile, and the controls are intuitive and responsive.
Super Mario Run was also named as AppAdvice's Top Free iPhone App of the Year for 2016.
You can download Super Mario Run from the App Store for free.
Only certain elements of the game's three modes – World Tour, Toad Rally, and Kingdom Builder – are available to play in the free version. Most notably, only the first three worlds are available to play in the World Tour.
While the game was highly anticipated after its introduction at the iPhone 7 event in September, Nintendo was truly put into a no-win situation when it came to pricing.
With no way to offer a true demo, the chosen pricing model was probably the best way to offer the game on the App Store. If the game would have cost $9.99 to download, there would have been even more of an outcry from users considering the freemium model that has percolated throughout the store.

Tell Me What We Did Today is a bedtime storytelling ritual for preschool children, inspired by our oldest daughter, Caroline.
We fell into the rhythm of "reliving the day" through the vehicle of impromptu storytelling each evening. When our daughter didn't feel like participating, I would make up a bunch of crazy events that never could have happened…until she set the record straight.
The effectiveness of storytelling in identifying and celebrating the moments in a child's life prompted me to write this book – and partner with the incomparable Warren Hanson to illustrate it. Read Tell Me What You Did Today with your children, and every night will be a journey of discovery.

Girls Can! Make it Happen! Inspires young girls with the message that they can accomplish whatever it is they set their mind to. Our youngest daughter, Elizabeth, inspired it.
Featuring interviews with women ranging from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner to Olympics superstar Jackie Joyner Kersee and America's first female astronaut, Dr. Sally Ride, the book doesn't just tell girls that they can reach for the stars. It shows them.
The need for a volume like this became apparent to me one night as my daughter and I played the game, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" I suggested a host of presidents, famous governors and senators, and Elizabeth – at the age of three – said, "You're teasing me. They're all men." I wrote this book to help correct for that error!
Another great American woman – illustrator Marilyn Brown of Chaska, Minnesota – did an incredible job of bringing it all to life.

A hip pinning is a type of surgery to fix a broken (fractured) hip. Another name for hip pinning is hip fracture repair and internal fixation. Hip pinning uses pins, screws, or plates to help hold broken bones together so they can heal correctly.
A hip pinning is a type of surgery to fix a broken (fractured) hip. Another name for hip pinning is fracture repair and internal fixation. Hip pinning uses pins, screws, or plates to help hold broken bones together so they can heal correctly.
Your thighbone (femur) meets with your pelvis at your hip joint. This joint is called a ball-and-socket joint. The socket is a cup-shaped structure on your pelvis called the acetabulum. The ball, or head, is the rounded upper end of your femur. Cushions of tough flexible tissue (cartilage) protect the inside of the acetabulum and the surface of the head. A fluid-filled capsule surrounds the joint. A neck connects the head of your femur to its long shaft. At the top of shaft, just before the neck, is a bump called the greater trochanter. A smaller bump, called the lesser trochanter, sticks out from the underside of the area where the shaft and neck meet.
A hip fracture is a break in the upper part of your thighbone. It may include the top of the shaft, the neck, or the head.
During your hip pinning, your surgeon will make a cut (incision) in your skin to reach the broken bone and put the pieces back in place. Once your surgeon has put the pieces back in the right place, he or she will use pins or screws to hold them together. Your surgeon also might use a metal plate to help reinforce the broken area.
Why might I need a hip pinning?
You might need a hip pinning if you have had a broken hip. Hip fractures often must be fixed with surgery. Depending on the type and complexity of your break, as well as your health, you may need either a hip replacement or a hip pinning.
In general, if you have a break that involves the head and neck of the femur (intracapsular fractures), you are likely a good candidate for hip replacement or pinning. Based on the nature of the break and how much the bone has moved out of place, the blood supply to the head of the femur may be damaged. This can lead to death of the bone in that area. The term for this is avascular necrosis. It is most common in older adults. A hip replacement can prevent problems such as arthritis that may happen because of avascular necrosis.
Hip pinning is a treatment choice in younger adults and children. It's also good for hip fractures that happen between the greater and lesser trochanter (intertrochanteric fractures). Other types of implants are more typical for breaks that are farther down the leg (subtrochanteric fractures).
Conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, and repetitive stress injuries also can weaken bones. That can increase your risk for hip fracture.
What are the risks of hip pinning?
There is also a risk that the procedure might not get rid of your pain. Or it might cause new pain. Your own risk of complications may vary based on your age and any other health problems. Ask your healthcare provider about the risks that most apply to you.
How do I get ready for a hip pinning?
Your medical team can tell you how to get ready for your surgery. Before your surgery, it is important to give a history of all your health problems. Let your healthcare provider know if you have any medicine allergies. Also let him or her know if you have a more recent problem, like a sudden fever. Tell him or her if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant.
Discuss any medicines you may be taking. That includes over-the-counter medicines and supplements. Ask if you need to stop taking any of these before your surgery.
You will likely need to avoid eating and drinking until after your surgery is done.
What happens during a hip pinning?
You may get general anesthesia so you can sleep through the surgery. If you get regional or local anesthesia, you may also get medicine to make you feel relaxed and sleepy.
Your heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs will be carefully watched before, during, and after the operation.
You may get antibiotics to help prevent infection.
The surgeon makes a cut (incision) over the outside of your hip, cutting through your skin and muscle.
If the bone fragments are not lined up properly (displaced), the surgeon will line them up. This step is called a reduction.
The surgeon may place a plate alongside the bone fragments.
The surgeon uses pins or screws, or a combination, to attach the bone fragments together. If the surgeon is using a plate, he or she will use pins to attach the plate to the fragments.
The surgeon or an assistant will close up your skin.
What happens after a hip pinning?
After your surgery, you will go to a room for monitoring while your anesthesia wears off. You will get medicine to ease pain. You may get medicine for nausea if needed.
After your initial recovery, you will go to your hospital room. You should be able to start eating and drinking again slowly. You may need to wear stockings or plastic devices to help prevent blood pooling in your legs. You may need to take medicine to prevent blood clots. You may be taught how to do breathing exercises and coughing to help prevent pneumonia.
Your healthcare provider may decide to get an X-ray or another imaging study to look at your hip. You may also need tests to check your blood or urine.
Your healthcare provider will tell you when to start moving around and how much weight to put on your leg. He or she may instruct you to not put your full weight on your leg at first. You may stay in the hospital a week or so while your hip starts to heal. Depending on how you do, you may be able to go home. Or you may need to go to a rehabilitation or nursing facility.
Your provide may give you instructions on what types of activities you can and can't do. As you start to get around, you may find that you need to use a cane or crutches. You may also need to work with a physical therapist to regain your mobility and strength.
You should be able to do light activities within a couple of weeks. During this time, it may be helpful to have extra help.
Keep all your follow-up appointments. Follow all your healthcare provider's instructions. If you have external stitches or staples, they will be removed a week or so after your surgery.


Morgan Stanley has recommended investors look to property derivatives, the Gulf Times has reported.
At a seminar for international investors, organised by Qatar's Commercialbank, Benoit Pinguet, vice president of property derivatives, described them as "an alternate to investing in physical real estate".
He said: "Property derivatives provide shorting to investors allowing them to gain from the decline in price of properties, which is impossible with physical investment."
Morgan Stanley has claimed they will outpace physical markets, particularly in the UK in 2008, the paper reported.
Mr Pinguet claimed they provide "a very efficient way to take investment bets in real estate as they reduce the cost associated with direct investment in (or divestment of) physical property".
Commercial property in London has attracted a number of overseas investors. Its lowered prices and the capital's reputation as an international business centre have helped maintain business interest.

New Brand Guide
Social Media Road Map -- Is Social Media Right For You
Los Angeles, CA – California State University, Los Angeles has one of the outstanding business schools in the country, according to The Princeton Review (www.princetonreview.com). This is the first time that Cal State L.A. has been included in The Princeton Review's annual book, The Best 296 Business Schools.
"It is great to be listed in Princeton Review on our first try," said Dean James Goodrich of Cal State L.A.'s College of Business and Economics. "This is indeed an honor, and I am grateful that our MBA students responded in such a positive way to the Princeton Review survey. It is a real validation of our faculty and the overall quality of our MBA. Prospective students look to external reviewers like this one when selecting a program for study."
Cal State L.A.'s College of Business and Economics offers graduate programs in accounting, healthcare management, information systems and economics, as well as the Master of Business Administration. Overall, more than 3,800 students are majors in the college. Additionally, the College of Business and Economics has for over a decade been listed among the nation's best in U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges" issue, and is recognized by the L.A. Business Journal for having one of the top MBA programs in Los Angeles.
The Princeton Review's two-page school profiles feature sections on academics, student life, admissions information and graduates' employment data. In the profile on Cal State L.A., the review notes that "The MBA program at California State University, Los Angeles College of Business and Economics is mainly designed to serve the needs of working professionals through flexible scheduling (meaning predominantly night classes are offered)."
The profile also contains comments from Cal State L.A. students. "Professors all demonstrate 'commitment and accessibility to provide students with guidance not only in the classroom but also outside of it'," one student says. Another lauded the college for providing "great real world examples of both current and past models."
The Princeton Review's survey asked 21,600 students at 296 business schools their opinions of their school's academics, student body and campus. The students also discussed their personal lives and career plans. The surveys analyzed for this edition were completed online at http://survey.review.com and conducted during the 2013-14, 2012-13, and 2011-12 academic years.
Said Robert Franek, the Princeton Review's senior vice and publisher: "We recommend Cal State L.A. as one of the best institutions a student could attend to earn an MBA. We chose the 296 schools we profile in this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and our reviews of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also solicited and greatly respect the opinions of students attending these schools who reported on their experiences at their schools on our 80-question student survey for the book."
The Best 296 Business Schools is one of more than 150 Princeton Review books published by Random House. It is also known for its many categories of college rankings, its classroom and online test-prep courses, tutoring, and its other education services.

The thought of returning to work tomorrow has filled me with a deep melancholy. I would prefer to stay home and be slothful for a few more days. Although, it is nice to put Christmas behind me and begin a new year. I have not, and will not make any resolutions. I do not think it is healthy to set yourself up for failure so early in the year, and just before your birthday. Better to decide halfway through to be a smidgen more productive, lose some weight, eat healthy, write more, get your eyebrows waxed more regularly, never run out of gas, cook more than once a week, etc.- than at least you only feel bad for not keeping the resolution for 6 months instead of 12. That has to be better for your mental health.
ASIDE: Speaking of mental health- I have written an inordinate amount of my characters lately with mental illnesses. Not sure if this is a product of my working environment ( I work in a student psychological counseling center), or if it speaks to some deep, disturbed part of myself trying to come forward.
I hope the year 2014 is good to all of you.

Nationals place Ben Revere on the DL with an oblique strain
By Bill BaerApr 6, 2016, 5:22 PM EDT
AP Photo/John Raoux
The Nationals have placed outfielder Ben Revere on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique, the club announced on Twitter. Matt den Dekker has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse to take his spot on the roster.
Revere suffered the injury in the fourth inning of the Nationals' Opening Day game against the Braves. Michael Taylor replaced Revere after he was taken out of the game and should be expected to get the starts going forward.
According to Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post, manager Dusty Baker plans to bat Taylor leadoff even though he doesn't see the 25-year-old as a leadoff hitter long-term. Baker prefers to leave the other hitters where they are as they're getting used to those particular spots in the batting order.

Staff and clients help each other at Trinity Reformed Church's Northwest Food Pantry.
Waverly Knight understands what it's like to be hungry.
In 2007, Waverly lost her job. Single, lonely in her apartment and trying to find a job, she began to wonder about volunteering with her West Side church, Trinity Reformed. When she learned about an opportunity with their ministry, the Northwest Food Pantry, one of Feeding America of West Michigan's hunger-relief agencies, she signed up.
While she planned to only stay until she found other employment, Waverly's love for helping others through the pantry grew. Before long, she found herself co-director of the ministry.
Clients of the pantry are allowed to visit once a month and fill a cart with food to support themselves and their families. Many of them are working but aren't earning enough to cover all their expenses.
"There's so many families out there where minimum wage doesn't cut it," she said.
Roberto is on a small income of a different sort, a fixed disability payment for his injured back.
He's not just a client of the pantry but a volunteer as well. Being involved with the pantry has enriched his life, he said. His wife and three young granddaughters get enough to eat, and he has the opportunity to help others in his community.
When cooking, he makes sure there are leftovers to feed others, whether his family the next day or kids in his neighborhood. "Sometimes, spaghetti's better the second time over," he joked.
Roberto loves being in the kitchen. Sometimes, he even lets his granddaughters help him cook.
His heart for serving others is noticeable as he stocks the pantry's shelves, directs clients and packs boxes. Not only does he help the pantry, but the pantry provides him an opportunity to get out of the house and work through his depression.
Becky discovered Northwest Food Pantry by calling the United Way's 2-1-1 hotline.
For her, a new place to live plus car payments on a '96 Dodge Stratus plus caring for two teenagers equals not much left over for groceries. Each month, she comes to pick out and bring home a cart of food for her boyfriend, niece and nephew who live with her.
Becky and her boyfriend face a common dilemma: They earn too much money to qualify for food assistance but not enough to meet their needs.
"It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place," she said.
The variety of food found at Northwest Food Pantry is possible through its partnership with Feeding America West Michigan and donations from businesses including Meijer, Aldi, Panera, D&W, Arnie's and even Olive Garden.
Thanks to people like Waverly and Roberto and local agencies like the Northwest Food Pantry, nobody needs to.

Electronic Email Processors have to do much the same work as Snail Mail Letter Processors, but they also have to make a database of all the presents, and send the orders by email to the Factory. Just lately, some of the presents now have barcodes so the orders can be processed faster, and Santa knows what's supposed to go where, and to whom. It's a bit quicker than the old lists, and the email centre isn't covered in letters, but it's still a really big Christmas job.

US Senate Committee vote brings chemical reform a step closer
By Joe Whitworth
31-Jul-2012 - Last updated on 01-Aug-2012 at 11:49 GMT
Related tags: United states senate
A US Senate panel has passed a bill aimed at overhauling federal law on toxic chemicals that would mean chemical companies would have to prove their substances are safe before going to market.
The Environmental and Public Work Committee vote could pave the way for legislation that hasn't been updated since the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 1976.
The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011, sponsored by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), was opposed by all republican senators on the committee.
The bill is expected to be heard in the Senate in September, if it passes that stage it will go to the House and if approved there it will be signed by the President and become law.
Shift burden of proof
The bill seeks to require chemical manufacturers, such as DuPont and Dow Chemical, to demonstrate the safety of chemicals used in products and then the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would determine their safety and restrict uses of ones that cannot be proven safe.
Under the current law the EPA has to show a chemical poses an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment before it can be regulated.
Mark Mitchell, MD Co-Chair of the National Medical Association's Environmental Health Task Force, told FoodProductionDaily.com the bill was opposed by republican senators due to the lack of time they had to review the new language in the revised bill put forward by Senator Lautenberg.
"There have already been a lot of bi-partisan discussions and a lot of progress has been made.
"We are hopeful of a September vote and Senator Lautenberg is open to amending the bill so we can move forward."
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists 84,000 chemical substances on the Inventory, which means they are considered "existing" chemicals in US commerce, of which 62,000 chemicals were "grandfathered in" when TSCA was enacted.
Mitchell said: "The EPA need to confirm how many of the 84,000 chemicals are actually used in commerce as the first thing.
"Then they need to prioritize which need to be measured and group them clearly in non-toxic to very toxic and which need to be managed or banned and then determine the middle group."
Call for a solution
There needs to be a bi-partisan solution to stop the US falling behind Europe, he added.
"It is clear to me that there is poor regulation and me, and my colleagues, recognize disease in patients' are due to chemical exposure, it is concerning and of interest to see solutions passed.
"It would be ideal to get a Federal Law or different states will move to pass their own legislation."
Mitchell added that chemical and downstream companies risk losing faith with customers who are concerned with chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and BPS as they are chemicals which have been linked to a variety of diseases and are related to exposure.
"If the chemical industry doesn't come around and stop resisting moves towards updated legislation it will be difficult to regain public credibility.
"It could lead to consumers only buying EU products, I don't know that but I am guessing that is what could happen."
ACC response
In a statement released after the decision, the American Chemical Council (ACC) said: "We are very disappointed that Senators Boxer and Lautenberg moved forward with a partisan markup of a bill that is inconsistent with the bipartisan negotiations that had just gotten underway in mid-June.
"We are also troubled that less than twenty-four hours before the markup Senator Lautenberg released a 174-page revised version of the Safe Chemicals Act.
"Specifically, the bill would establish an unworkable safety standard, and would require an enormous amount of additional government resources to implement."

Q: How to find Elements which have been set with dynamic ids I would appreciate some help with the following.
I have had to set the id for each  my countdown timer dynamically for each row  of my cards so that each timer has a unique id.  I set the IDs through a $each loop and that works fine and tested.
I am trying to find it so I can output the values of the countdown timer.
Before I did it with php. Using the SQL result row id was the id.
 $("#timer<?php echo $id; ?>").val(days + "d " + hours + "h "+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s" ).css("color", "black");

The timer counter display would look like this.
<input id="timer<?php echo $id; ?>"  class="timer" type="text" name="" value="" disabled>

The timer counter display looks like this as THEtimer id now set via a $each loop dynamically.
The array ids are used for the timer counter id. eg. "timer3"
<input id="timer"  class="timer" type="text" name="" value="" disabled>

I have left the variable like this in a class so you see it working $('.timer')
$('.timer').val(days + "d " + hours + "h "+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s" ).css("color", "black");

My Problem
How do I fill in the elements $(xxxx).. something like this $("#",timer+id)  The # needs to be there.
The snippet
In the snippet, I have left the element as $('.timer') so you see it working.
After page load press the start timer button to start the counter timer. It will alert the Id of the counter before starting the counter.
End game
I want each row to have its own unique countdown timer

While the above answers your question, it would be remiss of me not to remind you that dynamic IDs are not-your-friend(tm).
You rarely need a dynamic ID (if a framework adds them, which they do in some cases then you can ignore them).
With two minor changes to your code, you can get rid of the dynamic IDs:
Instead of
var id = ...

Store the element itself:
var timerOutput = $(this).closest('.card').find('.timer');

then you can reference it directly:
timerOutput.val(...

Key races, little interest as primary nears
By By John Fritze and Matthew Hay Brown and The Baltimore Sun

Despite high-profile races — including a Republican presidential contest that brought the candidates swinging through the state and a nationally significant House race in Western Maryland — elections officials predict that turnout could fall to near-record lows in Tuesday's primary.
The ho-hum reaction in Maryland is being driven by several factors: lack of a competitive race at the top of the Democratic ticket; a primary date that falls in the middle of spring break for many schools; and the inability of most of the GOP presidential candidates to organize in one of the bluest states in the nation.
The outcome of the state's primary voting will not be without consequence. Maryland Republicans could reinforce former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's front-runner status in the GOP presidential primary — or could surprise pundits and alter the course of the race by backing someone else. Democrats in the 6th Congressional District will choose a candidate to contest a House seat that has been held by Republican Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett for 20 years.
But none of it seems to be generating much enthusiasm.
"We've done everything we can to get the voter turnout," said Ben Cardin, a Democrat who faces opposition in his bid for a second term in the U.S. Senate. Cardin says he's been to political events in recent days at which people are unaware that the primary election takes place Tuesday. "It's been a struggle."
Cardin's leading Democratic opponent, state Sen. C. Anthony Muse, noted that this is the first presidential election in Maryland with early voting. Because of that, he said, it's hard to predict turnout. "Whether it's low voter turnout or high voter turnout, you have to get your people to the polls," he said, "and that's what we're working on."
Other potentially competitive races include the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, which pits former Secret Service agent Daniel John Bongino against former Pentagon official and attorney Richard J. Douglas. Democrats John LaFerla of Chestertown and Wendy Rosen of Cockeysville are among the candidates battling for a chance to challenge Republican Rep. Andy Harris in the 1st District.
State election officials report that 76,124 Marylanders took part in early voting, about 2.4 percent of eligible voters. That's down from the 77,288 who cast ballots before Election Day in the 2010 gubernatorial primary, the first year in which early voting was allowed. If those numbers are an indication of voting overall, the state could see a turnout of less than 25 percent.
"People tend to really focus on the general election," said former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., who heads Romney's presidential campaign in Maryland — an effort that included a town hall meeting March 21 in Arbutus. "We're sort of in the fourth quarter with a comfortable lead, so there's not a lot of people left in the stands."
A Rasmussen Reports poll last week — the only independent survey of the presidential race in Maryland — supports that analysis. The poll showed Romney with a 17-point lead over former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who campaigned Tuesday in Annapolis and Salisbury but announced hours later that he was scaling back his operation, was in third place.
Maryland offers up to 37 delegates to a candidate for the GOP convention this summer. Twenty-four of the state's delegates are awarded by congressional district, 10 are awarded to the winner of the popular vote and three go to state party officials.
Theresa Marozza, 74, a Severna Park Republican, says she has contributed money to Santorum, voted for Gingrich and thinks just about any of the GOP candidates would be better than President Barack Obama. Marozza, standing outside an early-voting center in Glen Burnie, said booting out the current administration was her main motivation to vote.
"I'd vote for anybody to get you know who out," Marozza said. "He has taken us down the tubes."
Longtime Glen Burnie residents John and Barbara Schmid said they appreciated that most of the Republican candidates came to Maryland, a state often overlooked in presidential elections. He voted for Gingrich. She is backing Santorum.
But Barbara Schmid, 49, said she's all too aware that Maryland is a sure bet to back Obama in November.
"We feel like we need to put our voice out there, put our vote out there," she said.
Obama does not face a challenge in the Democratic primary. In a state where registered Democratic voters outnumber Republicans by a margin of more than 2-to-1, it is unlikely that the marginally competitive GOP presidential primary will drive a lot of people to the polls. John Willis, Maryland's secretary of state from 1995 to 2003, compared this primary to 1996, when then-President Bill Clinton was running for a second term.
Turnout that year slipped to 22 percent of registered Democrats and 35 percent of registered Republicans, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections.
"What drives turnout in presidential years is the competitiveness of the race at the top of the ticket," said Willis, now executive in residence in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore. "You don't have the competition going on on the Democratic side."
Timing is another factor causing confusion with some voters. In 2008, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia voted Feb. 12 in what became known colloquially as the Potomac Primary. But last year, the General Assembly changed the date to April 3 after the national parties prohibited most states from holding primaries before early March.
The day lawmakers chose falls during spring break for many school systems in the state, including Baltimore and Montgomery counties. That means that many families will be out of town on vacation.
Turnout "is going to be very light," predicted Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller.
State and local elections officials have tried to encourage participation. The state opened 46 early voting centers for six days, including for the first time on Sunday. Yet the number of people who cast an early ballot fell statewide.
"In general, around the country, early voting hasn't meant much. It hasn't improved voter turnout," said Donald F. Norris, chairman of the public policy department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. "If you look at all of the tinkering that's been done with registration and voting and so on and so forth around the country over the past 30 or 40 years ... it hasn't materially affected turnout."
One of the few areas of the state that has experienced an increase in early voting turnout is the 6th Congressional District, where the number of people voting ahead of Election Day was up 21 percent, to 7,632. That increase is likely due in part to the fact that the district was redrawn last year.
The 6th District, which includes Western Maryland and parts of Frederick and Montgomery counties, is home to the most compelling race in the state. State Sen. Robert J. Garagiola, a Germantown lawyer, has long been considered the favorite for the Democratic nomination and has the backing of the state's labor unions. But Potomac banker John Delaney has spent more money and, with endorsements from former President Clinton and The Washington Post, appeared to catch a last-minute wave of momentum.
Because redistricting made the seat more competitive, the Democratic nominee will have a chance to capture it for his party for the first time in decades. It is one of only five seats in the nation that the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a possible Democratic takeover in November.
Bartlett, the Republican incumbent, has seven opponents in the GOP primary.
The changes in the 6th District and the competitive nature of the race drove Connie Bohon, 59, a Germantown physician, to get out and vote. Bohon had previously been represented by Democratic Rep. Chris Van Hollen in the 8th District but found herself in the 6th District when the lines were redrawn.
She attended a candidate forum, got to know the issues and ultimately settled on Democrat Milad Pooran, also a physician.
The notion of sitting out the primary never crossed her mind.
"This," Bohon said, "is a time when my vote is going to make a difference."

Q: my playframework fast tag is not being picked up for some reason I am copying the select tag from playframework to test out creating tags as well as fasttags(doing the option as a fasttag).  But the only problem is I get this error when it should be looking for the fasttag...
The template tags/alvazan/option.html or tags/alvazan/option.tag does not exist.

My FastTags class is in the app/tags directory and is the following code....
package tags;

import groovy.lang.Closure;

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Map;

import play.templates.FastTags;
import play.templates.JavaExtensions;
import play.templates.TagContext;
import play.templates.GroovyTemplate.ExecutableTemplate;

@FastTags.Namespace("alvazan")
public class TagHelp extends FastTags {

        public static void _option(Map<?, ?> args, Closure body, PrintWriter out, ExecutableTemplate template, int fromLine) {
            Object value = args.get("arg");
            TagContext ctx = TagContext.parent("alvazanselect");
            Object selectedValue = ctx.data.get("selected");
            boolean selected = selectedValue != null && value != null && (selectedValue.toString()).equals(value.toString());
            out.print("<option value=\"" + (value == null ? "" : value) + "\" " + (selected ? "selected=\"selected\"" : "") + " " + FastTags.serialize(args, "selected", "value") + ">");
            out.println(JavaExtensions.toString(body));
            out.print("</option>");
        }
    }

My html then has this which is not found...
#{alvazan.option/}

The code here implies it would never look up a fasttag(where is the code that looks up fasttags hidden)...
 public void invokeTag(Integer fromLine, String tag, Map<String, Object> attrs, Closure body) {
            String templateName = tag.replace(".", "/");
            String callerExtension = "tag";
            if (template.name.indexOf(".") > 0) {

2 questions

*

*Why is this not working?

*Where is the code in playframework source that looks up the fasttag "class" instead of looking up an html file?

A: Why is this not working?
Okay, I can't really answer this because in my case your FastTag worked. I wasn't able to reproduce your error. I only did some minor adjustments like adding a body so I wouldn't get any errors, but they shouldn't be the cause of your error. But just to make sure, the proper way to use this tag would be:
#{select name:'dropdown'}
    #{alvazan.option "valueHere"}This is an option#{/alvazan.option}
#{/select}

Where is the code in Play! Framework source that looks up the FastTags "class" instead of looking up an html file?
I think you looked over some code in the endTag() method of the GroovyTemplateCompiler in it's last catch block you will find the following snippet, which does try to load the FastTags before trying invokeTag(). I've also added some extra comments for clarity.
// Use fastTag if exists
List<Class> fastClasses = new ArrayList<Class>();
try {
    // Will contain your TagHelp class
    fastClasses = Play.classloader.getAssignableClasses(FastTags.class);
} catch (Exception xe) {
    //
}
// Add FastTags class in first spot (takes precedence over your fasttags,
// so tags with the same name as in the FastTags class won't work)
fastClasses.add(0, FastTags.class);
// Will contain the tag method
Method m = null;
String tName = tag.name;
String tSpace = "";

    tName = tName.substring(tName.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
}

        continue;

    try {
        m = c.getDeclaredMethod("_" + tName, Map.class, Closure.class, PrintWriter.class, GroovyTemplate.ExecutableTemplate.class, int.class);

if (m != null) {
    // If it did find a FastTag (m != null)
    print("play.templates.TagContext.enterTag('" + tag.name + "');");
    print("_('" + m.getDeclaringClass().getName() + "')._" + tName + "(attrs" + tagIndex + ",body" + tagIndex + ", out, this, " + tag.startLine + ");");
    print("play.templates.TagContext.exitTag();");
} else {
    // If it didn't find any FastTags (m == null)
    // Now it will try to look up an html / tag file
    print("invokeTag(" + tag.startLine + ",'" + tagName + "',attrs" + tagIndex + ",body" + tagIndex + ");");
}

A: I had the same problem. I previously had a custom tag with the same name, but implemented as an HTML file in the views/tags directory. I wanted to do something a bit more complex, so I reimplemented the tag as a FastTag subclass. I got the error you did.
The solution was simply to run play clean. I guess Play had cached the HTML tag template as a class file in there... (?)
Hope this helps you.


These are the upcoming Blu-ray releases that you really should be buying.
Possibly also something for science-fiction fans (but not necessarily), the patchy-with-flashes-of-excellence Falling Skies season one arrives from Warner Bros also on 29 August. The show, set in a world where pockets of human resistance fighters battle alien overlords, has all the hallmarks of Steven Spielberg's creative hand, being mostly about fathers, the success of fathers, the failure of fathers and fathers who are occasionally teachers. It's not the greatest new show, but at AU$49.95, it's worth a look.
Anyone who didn't buy The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Blu-ray box set last year might be excited to learn that all three movies — in their extended format — are getting individual Blu-ray releases from Roadshow. Everyone else will probably shrug their shoulders, especially at the AU$49.95 price tag per film. That said, they do have a lot of extras, so if you're the kind of LotR fan who's keeping the box set in mint condition, these might be just the ticket.
Two mentions for a couple of films that are already out on Blu-ray, but definitely worth grabbing: Good Will Hunting got its 15th-anniversary Blu-ray edition, and remains an excellent flick from what were two brand new talents at the time. It's AU$24.95 from Roadshow, and worth every cent. Secondly, The Raid (Madman Entertainment) is a high-kinetic Indonesian martial arts film that has to be seen to be believed.
That's it for this week; enjoy.


The main drag in Palm Springs is filled with great bars, good entertainment and tasty restaurants, so how does one stand out from another along Palm Canyon Rd?
Well if you are an awesome sports bar; serve a variety of food and have some of the hottest locals on staff, and you win. Over the Top Sports Bar and Grill is just such a place. Whether you come in on a Sunday for brunch that includes bottomless champagne or a Tuesday for happy hour, they will make you smile.
The menu is loaded with a wonderful variety of food. They serve not only your simple bar foods like parmesan fries, wings and 'adult' grilled cheeses sandwiches, but in addition they have some wonderful local favorites like wasabi seared ahi and a superb shrimp ceviche. A must try for you shrimp lovers.
Over the Top is located on the second floor corner of Palm Canyon and Amado, right across from the Hyatt, allowing for one of the best patio views around. Just grab a beer, sit back feeling the cool misters and enjoy some entertaining people watching.
However, don't forget Over the Top is a bar with many sports enthusiastic patrons, which means this place is not always kid friendly. For most people this is a good thing because it lets the crowd relax and yell at the game on TV without any restraints. And with all the TV's you are sure to find that game or whatever sporting event you are looking for.
So the next time you want a cool, relaxed place to hang out after a hard day at work or just need to get out of the house for a drink, try Over the Top. They are a winner all around.
