5 Characteristics of an Effective School Team
I've been thinking a lot about what makes a good team in a school context. I'll share some of these thoughts, but I really want to hear your ideas on this subject.
I'm going to admit that it's taken me a while to feel convinced by the power of teams. Until recently, I didn't have great experiences in teams. I felt that alone I could produce whatever needed to be created better, and quicker, than working with others. I often felt frustrated working in teams -- the process felt so slow and cumbersome. I felt like I was usually given (or took) the bulk of the work. I didn't really know what an effective team looked like, how one worked together, or what the benefits could be.
In the last few years, however, my experience in a couple different teams shifted these beliefs. Now, I'm compelled to figure out how to create and develop good teams -- and to identify the specific moves that a coach or facilitator makes in this process. I want to figure out how to grow powerful teams that can transform schools.
Here's why I think we need to articulate our beliefs and practices about good teams:
Strong teams within a school are essential to retaining and sustaining teachers. In schools with low staff turnover (even in challenging urban contexts), teachers report feeling connected to colleagues and supported by them. They also describe feeling that they belong to a team whose members are fulfilling a mission together. The emotions activated in this context are those which keep us engaged in a difficult endeavor for a long time. Public education is a hard place to be these days -- we need structures (such as strong teams) that cultivate our emotional resilience.
If a team is effective, then people learn from each other. They accomplish far more than would be possible alone. They inspire and challenge each other. An individual's strengths can be exploited, and we don't have to do the stuff we're not so good at. Again, this is an efficient approach to undertaking a huge project (transforming a school, for example), and it feels good.
What Makes a Good Team?
Here are some key characteristics that I believe make a good team:
1. A good team knows why it exists.
It's not enough to say, "We're the 6th grade team of teachers" -- that's simply what defines you (you teach the same grade), not why you exist. A purpose for being is a team might be: "We come together as a team to support each other, learn from each other, and identify ways that we can better meet the needs of our sixth grade students." Call it a purpose or a mission -- it doesn't really matter. What matters is that those who attend never feel like they're just obligated to attend "another meeting." The purpose is relevant, meaningful, and clear.
2. A good team creates a space for learning.
There are many reasons why those of us working in schools might gather in a team -- but I believe that all of those reasons should contain opportunities for learning with and from each other. I have met very few educators who don't want to learn -- we're a curious bunch and there's so much to learn about education. So in an effective team, learning happens within a safe context. We can make mistakes, take risks, and ask every single question we want.
3. In a good team, there's healthy conflict.
This is inevitable and essential if we're learning together and embarked on some kind of project together. We disagree about ideas, there's constructive dialogue and dissent, and our thinking is pushed.
4. Members of a good team trust each other.
This means that when there's the inevitable conflict, it's managed. People know each other. We listen to each other. There are agreements about how we treat each other and engage with each other, and we monitor these agreements. There's also someone such as a facilitator who ensures that this is a safe space. Furthermore, in order for there to be trust, within a strong team we see equitable participation among members and shared decision-making. We don't see a replication of the inequitable patterns and structures of our larger society (such as male dominance of discourse and so on).
5. A good team has a facilitator, leader, or shared leaders.
There's someone -- or a rotation of people -- who steer the ship. This ensures that there's the kind of intentionality, planning, and facilitation in the moment that's essential for a team to be high functioning.
This last point is what I've been contemplating for this fall: What does a good team leader do? How exactly does she facilitate? How can leadership rotate or be shared?
I currently work with a fantastic team of instructional coaches, and we're thinking about this together. I'm so grateful for this team! We're developing a facilitation rubric for coaches -- a tool that identifies and articulates the precise moves we make in order to develop a team that feels purposeful and safe for learning, and that leads to improved outcomes and experiences for the students we serve. We're hoping that this tool will be helpful in our own practice and that it could be useful to others.
In my next post, I'll share some of our ideas about the facilitation moves we make. In the meantime, please share in the comments section below your stories of working in effective teams and your thoughts about what makes a good team.

Six Cities of Refuge
Joshua 20:1 Then the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 20:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'Designate the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,
Joshua 20:3 that the manslayer who kills any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood.
Joshua 20:4 He shall flee to one of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and state his case in the hearing of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may dwell among them.
Joshua 20:5 Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand.
Joshua 20:6 He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the manslayer shall return to his own city and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.'"
Joshua 20:7 So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
Joshua 20:8 Beyond the Jordan east of Jericho, they designated Bezer in the wilderness on the plain from the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan from the tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 20:9 These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

Justice League: The New Frontier is unquestionably one of the most exciting animated superhero films of all time, ranking with The Incredibles for far out fun.
Produced by Bruce Timm and based on Darwyn Cooke's remarkable graphic novel (The New Frontier) this high flying film stays true to its retro roots. It's basically the telling of the origin of the Justice League of America (created in 1960) set in the 1950s and illustrated in a pleasing, stylistic manner.
New Frontier is not just a re-envisioning of iconic, well established characters it's a giant leap forward for non-theatrical, animated adventure stories.
Major players include such second tier heroes like Adam Strange, Blackhawks, Challengers of the Unknown, and Martian Manhunter fighting alongside The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman and, of course, Superman.
An all-star cast provides the voices and every one is dead on - David ('Angel') Boreanaz as Hal Jordan, Lucy ('Xena') Lawless, as Wonder Woman, Miguel Ferrer ('Bionic Woman') as the Martian Manhunter, Jeremy Sisto ('Law & Order') as Batman, Neil Patrick Harris ('Doogie Howser') as Barry Allen, Kyle ('Twin Peaks') MacLachlan as Superman, Kyra ('The Closer') Sedgwick as Lois, Brooke Shields as Carol Ferris, and Vicki Lewis as Iris West. Besides these guys, there are cameos from just about every DC character from the last 50 years.
Justice League: The New Frontier is an awe-inspriring, kinetic ride with wide appeal although it's geared for adults; spine tingling excitement, especially for those of us who grew up with the Silver Age DC comics. There is some minor coarse language and a lot more violence than you'd find in your typical TV superhero cartoon.
For an old comic book geek this was a particular joy, a lushly designed tale of courage reflecting that adventuresome, can do, American spirit of the era.
There are bonus features as well - a history of the Justice League, a sneak peek at another new animated Batman series and two audio commentaries, one by Darwin Cooke. That's just on disc 1, disc 2 offers three bonus Justice League Unlimited episodes (The Dark Heart, Task Force X & To Another Shore) and loads of other features.
It may be overkill but fans will relish this first class treatment. Let's have lots more of this!
Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke and produced by the multiple Emmy® award winning animation legend, Bruce Timm, The New Frontier is the epic tale of the founding of the Justice League. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are all here of course, and so are Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash - whose incredible origins will be told for the very first time. Strangers at first, these very different heroes must overcome fear and suspicion to forge an alliance against a monster so formidable, even the mighty Superman can not stop it. If they fail, our entire planet will be "cleansed†of humanity.


This piece first appeared in Issue Zero of our print magazine, April 2016.
I like moving around. Maybe it's my introverted personality that craves sneaking in and out of cities and towns before I get too attached to the people and places within them. It could be the thrill of starting fresh and wiping the slate clean for new opportunities and experiences. Maybe I just never found the right place to call home.
I'm a pretty easy-going, not too demanding kind of person. But when it comes to choosing a place to live, my list of must-haves is pretty long. Growing up in a family that planted deep and meaningful roots in the spot they called home, I had some pretty high expectations of what home was going to mean for my family and me.
It took 10 years of living on the West Coast for me to stop referring to Ontario as home. My husband and I have strong ties there. We (mostly me) were still clinging to an identity that I had outgrown and roots that were no longer connected to the person I am now. I was craving a place to call my own. I was looking for a community to raise my kids in, a place that reflected who we are as a family and a place that inspired me to actively engage in its growth and development.
To be honest, New Westminster was a place we could afford. I think I cried a little the day we moved into our little bungalow in Glenbrook North. It wasn't quite what I had in mind. But, there was no turning back. The papers were signed. It was a done deal. It was exciting to be homeowners, but I was terrified that New West was the wrong fit. I knew nothing about this city. I felt no attachment to its history and I was totally oblivious to the vision running across and up and down its streets.
There is a sense of place here. I was quickly wrapped up in the city's intrinsic character and fell in love with its unassuming confidence and passion for new ideas and purposeful changes. Though our physical identity is shifting, the heart of this city runs deep.
Wendell Berry famously said 'If you don't know where you are, you don't know who you are'. I know where I am and I love it. Living in New Westminster these past four years has solidified my family. This is our home. This is where we live and this is where we are setting roots and seeking out meaningful and fulfilling relationships and experiences of our own.
Every once in awhile I still get the itch to pack up and move somewhere new. But the pull to stay put is stronger–for now.

Gonzalo (The Tempest)
character in The Tempest

The Tempest character
Gonzalo (/ˈɡɒnzəloʊ/ GON-zə-loh) is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
An honest and trusted adviser to King Alonso of Naples, he has a good heart and an optimistic outlook, and is described as noble. For example, when Prospero and his daughter, Miranda, were set adrift at sea, Gonzalo took pity on the two of them, supplying them not only with the food and water necessary to survive but also with those things that make life easier.[1] In addition, Gonzalo is the only character able to see Caliban as more than a demonic beast. Gonzalo first arrives on the Prospero's island with Alonso, Ferdinand, Sebastian, Antonio, Stefano, and Trinculo during a storm while returning from the wedding of Alonso's daughter. During their time on the island, Gonzalo repeatedly attempts to lighten the mood by discussing the beauty of the island.[2] An old, honest lord, he speaks cheerfully on the miracle of the reconciliation of the lords.[3] Many[who?] often see Gonzalo as the mouthpiece of the play, who mirrors Shakespeare's relativist beliefs. The role was portrayed by many of the renowned actors. His heart was of a good man and he did all he could for his peers. An honest man by nature.
Gonzalo, Prospero, and Miranda[edit]
Gonzalo was a nobleman from Naples. He had been chosen to carry out the plan to carry Prospero and Miranda to the sea and trying to kill them in there. However, he didn't kill them, but instead he gave them clothes, linen, and other necessities that had been a great help for Prospero and Miranda. Knowing how much Prospero loved his books, he decided to give him some books from Prospero's library that Prospero values more than his dukedom.
Character's Quotes about Gonzalo[edit]
Prospero, "(Gonzalo) had given us out of the kindness of his heart."
Miranda, "I wish I could see that man (Gonzalo) someday!"

Green Tourism Business Scheme – 3 times Gold winner
17 years ago green issues were uncommon. Anyone who spoke about them regarded as a hippy. Times have changed fortunately and being responsible is now regarded more seriously. We put ourselves forward early on for these awards, back in 2006 because we wanted to know how we were performing compared to everyone else as far as the environment was concerned.
We were the first in Wiltshire to join and achieve a Silver award in 2006 and the first to gain a Gold in 2009. We have since been awarded gold three times and the prestigious Gold Star as an Activity provider for achieving the highest score in a gold grading. Foot Trails has introduced over 60 measures with a positive impact in that time. Our work continues.

Cork councillor calls for removal of LGBT rainbow flag
By Eoin English
Irish Examiner Reporter
Follow @EoinBearla
A Fianna Fáil councillor has called for the removal of the LGBT community's rainbow flag from above Cork's City Hall ahead of next week's referendum.
Terry Shannon sparked a row last night when he asked council chief executive Ann Doherty to remove it, citing fears that it could send out the "wrong message" before the nation votes on the marriage equality referendum.
Terry Shannon
"If there was no referendum, I wouldn't have an issue," he said. "But I think, on balance, it shouldn't be flying for the duration of a referendum."
.@TerryTshannon expressing concern about raising of rainbow flag over #Cork city hall to mark #LGBT week, just ahead of #MarRef #corkcc
— Eoin English (@EoinBearla) May 11, 2015
The city council made history last year when City Hall became the first civic or public building to fly the rainbow flag for the city's LGBT Awareness Week.
The flag was flown from the civic building again at 12pm yesterday to mark the start of the city's fifth annual LGBT Awareness Week. In a co-ordinated move, several rainbow flags were flown from community buildings at the same time.
The council hosted the formal launch of LGBT Awareness Week in City Hall at 5pm but when the council convened for its regular Monday meeting minutes later, Mr Shannon spoke out.

Speaking afterwards, he said: "As the standard bearer for the yes campaign, I think it's inappropriate for [the flag] to be flying over City Hall. If someone put up a no flag, I'd disagree with that as well.

"I believe, as a corporate body, we should not have a flag like that hanging over City Hall while the referendum is on Either we put up two flags or we take this one down.
Former lord mayor and current Fine Gael councillor John Buttimer defended the flying of the flag, saying it is part of a series of events marking LGBT week.
"We got the flag as a gift from our sister city San Francisco during my term as Lord Mayor," he said.
"Cllr Catherine Clancy was the first to fly it because I got it after LGBT week in my term.
"Cork City Council also passed a motion in support of the referendum."
Anti-Austerity Alliance councillors Mick Barry, Lil O'Donnell, and Marion O'Sullivan said they would oppose any attempts to remove the flag from City Hall.
The theme of this year's LGBT Awareness Week is 'Equality Matters'. Events are lined up to raise awareness about how gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people form part of the fabric of every walk of life in Cork.
"Equality matters to everyone and impacts on everyone," said Siobhan O'Dowd, chair of Cork's LGBT Interagency Group.
"A diverse and equal city benefits all of us: Residents, citizens, communities, agencies, businesses, and public services.
"Just as equality affects us all, so too does homophobia harm us all so in 2015 we want to say that equality matters, to everyone and for everyone."
The full programme of events for LGBT Awareness Week is available on facebook.com/CorkLgbtAwarenessWeek or on Twitter @CorkLGBTWeek.

mikedowney.org > Audio Graves > Wolfie – Official site | Champaign-Urbana indie pop band
Wolfie (1996-2000) was RJ Porter (drums), Amanda Lyons (keyboards, vocals), Joe Ziemba (bass, guitar, vocals), Mike Downey (guitar, bass, vocals).
RJ, Joe and I previously played as a trio in Slackjawed. We began to add keyboards into our songs and wanted a fourth member to play keyboards live. When Amanda joined we changed our name to Wolfie.
Garages and Basements
Honestly, Wolfie was the result of a lot of hard work. Joe, RJ and I had been making music together and separately for a few years in high school. As time went on we realized we wanted a bit more. We wanted to release 7″s and go on tour. We wanted to maybe find a record label that would help us with these things. We played in garages and basements for our friends, which was great, but we knew there was a next step. Our chance came when Joe and RJ went to college at University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana and were greeted with a healthy local music scene.
I would drive down and we'd see bands like Braid and Sarge play to packed crowds. With Joe and RJ living in Champaign-Urbana they were able to meet local bands and people putting on shows and get us in the mix by passing around our demo.
We ended up on a show with Braid. They were/are an amazing band doing everything right and were great to look up to; not to mention extremely supportive and kind. Although our styles were far from similar we became quick friends and eventually Todd Bell from Braid released our debut 7″ on his label Grand Theft Autumn. At this point we became a somewhat constant locally playing lots of house parties and DIY venues and fulfilled the then-seemingly unreachable dream of swindling an opening slot at the Blind Pig in downtown Champaign. We scribbled down names of out of town show promoters from Braid and Sarge and got on the phone. After playing around the Midwest a bit hacking our brand of pop the opportunity to release our first full length with Mud Records came. Then came bigger local shows and the chance to tour.
I Bought a Van
At this point I made one of smartest decisions I've ever made in my life: I sold my car and bought a van. We did our first tours in the first half of 1998. They were a lot like I imagine other bands' first tours: humbling. But we wanted more.
Our debut full length, Awful Mess Mystery, captured us at our most stripped down and to the point. We built upon what we had started on the "Don't Turn it Off" 7″ and focused on everything concise and snappy.
In the summer of 1998 we were invited to play the Athens Summer Music Extravaganza (aka The Kindercore Pop Fest) in Athens, GA. Want to talk about feeling loved? We were greeted by people who were excited to see us. We played with amazing bands; it was an exciting and important night for us. Looking back I believe that one single show opened up a ton of doors for us as a band and gave us some confidence we most likely needed.
1999 saw the release of Where's Wolfie; a record we put a ton of work into bypassing the chance to record in a studio and using our budget to buy an 8 track to do it ourselves. What I feel we ended up with was a solid collection of songs showcasing Joe and my differing styles more clearly than the possibly more cohesive Awful Mess Mystery. Dare to say this was us maturing on tape.
We stayed active and played out frequently throughout most of 1999. We did, what I would consider, a successful tour that summer in support of Where's Wolfie. The Wolfie, and the Coat and Hat EP followed and broke most of previous rules we had set up for ourselves. The guitars, at times, were brought up front and the song structures/instrumentation more advanced. When I think back to that EP I remember it as "This is us right now, take it or leave it but we are really proud of these songs".
By 2000 when we started recording our 3rd album I was beginning to distance myself from the rest of the band. My heart wasn't in it as much as it needed to be in order to not sell the rest of the band short. I felt I had given my best to the band and parted ways with Wolfie in 2000 and started The National Splits and The New Constitution. Wolfie continued on, releasing Tall Dark Hill on March Records in 2001.
We didn't necessarily fit in with the mid-late 90's Midwestern music scene. We tended to be the odd band out on a lot of bills in terms of genre. We were grateful to just get on stage and do our thing. We somehow found our little niche in the middle of it all and I would say that there was no template for what a Wolfie fan was. We came from the land of huge guitars and complex songwriting and emotional and/or aggressive vocals. We played with those bands and we were friends with those bands and then we went and made our own music which was completely different. What we did really latch onto was a DIY ethic that many other bands at the time pushed forward: Recording our own stuff, booking our own tours, making the most out of what we had on a small budget and just keeping the band busy every second we possibly could.
"…a revelation, for whatever tiny portion of listeners 'gets it.'"
Now I wouldn't normally mention bad reviews because that's just part of the game, but because of the scope the Pitchfork reviews are going to follow us around and will come up on searches for the band forever. So let me say a couple things about it. There was a writer at Pitchfork in Chicago that tried to call us out numerous times; that we didn't know how to play our instruments, sing or write a song; that we were basically a joke – release after release. A lot of people read those reviews. Then, in 2005 Pitchfork published their Twee As Fuck article and included us in a list of genre-defining bands. A lot of people read that too. I don't know how big of a part we played in it all (tiny at best), but there are 2 sides to every story. Whatever the case, we sure had a great time with this band. I can look back and positively say we were extremely focused and did everything in our powers to make a lot of great things happen in a relatively short amount of time.
Wolfie: "Hey It's Finally Yay" (1998)
Twee, yeah, but then again: These four kids play like they think they're out-rocking AC/DC– with cheapy instruments in a mid-Illinois garage. They're also just bursting with joy, from the boy/girl vocals (chirpy deadpan versus bratty drawl) to the keyboard leads and tambourine-shaking buildups. Something in the combination of carefree melody, garage-pure setup, and hyper-energetic "rock"– along with this combo's sharp songwriting skills– make this stuff a revelation, for whatever tiny portion of listeners "gets" it.
Look for: Awful Mess Mystery, one of– if you ask me– the best records of the nineties.

Yet Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom is supplying explanations, and even rationalizations, for the global jihad. These aren't murderers. They're just desperate. And their despair has driven them to carry out mass murder in Paris, Jerusalem, London and Madrid. According to her, these murderers are actually freedom activists. They're only trying to push forward a settlement between the Israelis and Palestinians, to end the occupation. Well, we can demand that Wallstrom listen to what they are really saying: They do not want peace. They do not want two states for two peoples. They do not want an end to the Israeli occupation. They want an Islamic empire that will rule the entire world.
Over the past 15 years, there have been three serious peace proposals on the table, two states for two peoples.
That includes Sweden. Meanwhile, we should note, they are killing mostly Muslims. They're doing it in Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Most of the jihadists wouldn't know how to point to Israel on a map. But Wallstrom claims that they are killing and murdering and sowing destruction in the world because of the Palestinians. Is she serious?
And so the truth must be told: There is no connection between the global jihad and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 2014, over 32,000 people were slaughtered by the jihad, most of them Muslim. They were not killed to promote a peace settlement between Israel and Palestine. There is, however, a connection between the fact that no settlement has yet been reached and the fact that Sweden – and not only Sweden – continues to transfer funding to the organizations that oppose a fair peace settlement of two states for two peoples.

Home News R.I.P. James Garner (1928-2014)
R.I.P. James Garner (1928-2014)
Sad news to report today as word has hit that veteran actor James Garner has passed away at the age of 86. Some of you likely only know him from his admittedly excellent supporting turn in The Notebook (though I hope not), but Garner was also the star of his television shows like Maverick and The Rockford Files. He also appeared in films like The Great Escape, and even returned to TV in his later years to help save Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter after John Ritter suddenly died. You can see more on the man below, but without any question at all, Garner definitely will be missed…
Here's the obituary from Variety:
Amiable actor James Garner, whose moderately successful film career was eclipsed by two extraordinarily popular television series, "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files," has died, according to reports. He was 86.
Like many popular leading men of Hollywood's heyday, Garner boasted all-American good looks and a winning personality that carried him through comedy and drama alike. He was one of the first of TV's leading men to cross over into films in the '60s with such popular movies as "The Thrill of It All" and "The Americanization of Emily." But he had his greatest impact in television, first on "Maverick" in the '50s and then in the '70s on "The Rockford Files," for which he won an Emmy in 1977. He later appeared in several quality telepics including "Promise," "My Name Is Bill W." and "Barbarians at the Gate," as well as the occasional strong feature such as "Victor/Victoria" and "Murphy's Romance," for which he captured his sole Oscar nomination for lead actor.
Garner won two Emmys and racked up a total of 15 nominations.
Garner found his way to showbiz through a friend, theater producer Paul Gregory: He was employed cueing actor Lloyd Nolan during rehearsals of the Broadway-bound "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial." Garner eventually copped a nonspeaking role in the 1954 production, where, he said, he closely studied the play's star, Henry Fonda. After studying with Herbert Berghof, Garner landed a role in the touring production of "Caine."
Back in Los Angeles in 1955, he secured bit parts in the TV series "Cheyenne." Impressed, Warner Bros. gave him a screen test and a contract at $200 a week. He paid his dues in supporting roles in "Towards the Unknown," "The Girl He Left Behind" and "Shootout at Medicine Bend" as well as some TV assignments.
He was first really noticeable in a role as Marlon Brando's pal in "Sayonara," after which he was assigned a supporting role in "Darby's Rangers." When "Darby's" lead Charlton Heston walked off the film, Garner inherited his first starring role, but reviews were mixed.
The real boost to his career came in a role now indelibly associated with him, that of Bret Maverick in the comedic Western that ABC debuted in 1957; the role and the series fit his wry personality like a glove. Originally the story was to alternate between the Maverick brothers played by Garner and Jack Kelly, but "Maverick" quickly became all about Garner's character, who used his wits to get out of trouble. Other actors revolved in and out including Clint Eastwood as a vicious gunfighter. "Maverick" led to a long relationship between Garner and its creator, Roy Huggins. The actor stayed with the series until 1960, when he quit over a dispute with Warners.
"I'm playing me," Garner said about the role. "Bret Maverick is lazy: I'm lazy. And I like being lazy."
Lazy or not, the actor shared the Golden Globe for most promising male newcomer in 1958 and earned his first Emmy nomination in 1959 for "Maverick."
In the meantime, Warners was serving him frustrating fare like "Up Periscope" and "Cash McCall." Taking advantage of a suspension during the Writers Guild strike of 1960, Garner sued Warners for breach of contract — and won — allowing him to be a free agent and demand more for his services.
He appeared in specials and toured in summer stock before landing a supporting role in "The Children's Hour" with Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn.
His roles in films got better: "Boys' Night Out" and, especially, "The Great Escape" brought him his best notices. He said that he drew on his experience in the Korean War, during which he was the company scrounger, for the latter role.
For a time he seemed ready to inherit the aging Cary Grant's romantic comedy leading man mantle with such films as "The Thrill of It All" (1963), "The Wheeler Dealers" and "Move Over Darling." Blake Edwards gave him a meatier assignment, in the satire "The Americanization of Emily," opposite the then-red-hot Julie Andrews. He then nabbed the thriller "36 Hours" and a couple of indifferent comedies, "The Art of Love" and "A Man Could Get Killed."
The films were now A-budget, but "Duel at Diablo," "Mr. Buddwing" and "Grand Prix," which gave him a yen for car racing, were hardly first rate.
Except for a couple of Westerns including "Hour of the Gun" (in which he played Wyatt Earp), Garner was stuck in films that did not find much success, such as "They Only Kill Their Masters," "Marlowe" and "Skin Game." He took cover in television, where after the brief NBC Western series "Nichols" in 1971, he hit paydirt with comedic detective skein "The Rockford Files," which ran from 1974-80 and won him an Emmy in 1977 and another four nominations.
Huggins teamed with Stephen J. Cannell for the detective series recycling many of the plots from "Maverick." Many of Garner's friends had recurring roles in the series, including Joe Santos and Stuart Margolin as his buddies. Margolin said at the time that Garner worked long shifts, did his own stunts and stayed to do off-camera lines for the other cast members. But his old injuries and pay disputes led Garner to call it quits even though the show drew high ratings on NBC.
He again essayed "Bret Maverick" for one season in 1981. But a bad back, lawsuits with MCA TV over "Rockford" syndication payments (he eventually settled, reportedly for several million dollars) and, eventually, heart surgery curtailed his ability to endure the rigors of a TV series. By then, however, he was a household name, and one which audiences would follow to the theater, provided the vehicle wasn't a turkey like "H.E.A.L.T.H." or "The Fan."
Fortunately, Edwards and Andrews called on him again in the musical "Victor/Victoria" in 1982, and he landed a plum role opposite Sally Field in the comedy/romance "Murphy's Romance" in 1985. He essayed an older Wyatt Earp in Edwards' "Sunset" opposite Bruce Willis as Tom Mix and did the underwhelming "Fire in the Sky" in 1983. In 1994 he took a small role in the bigscreen version of "Maverick," with Mel Gibson in the lead, giving the star a run for his money in the likability department.
In 1996 he starred as an ex-president opposite Jack Lemmon in "My Fellow Americans." The best of his later work, however, came in television in such TV movie dramas as "Heartsounds" with Mary Tyler Moore in 1984, directed by Glen Jordan, who also guided him through "Promise" in 1986. In 1989 he was acclaimed for "My Name Is Bill W." with James Woods. In the 1992 HBO film "Barbarians at the Gate," the actor offered up a standout chewy performance. Quieter, but no less effective, was "Breathing Lessons" opposite Joanne Woodward.
His bigscreen career continued in the 2000s with the Clint Eastwood-helmed veteran astronaut comedy "Space Cowboys," chick pic "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" and 2004 hit tearjerker "The Notebook," in which Garner and Gena Rowlands played the older versions of a couple portrayed by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
On the smallscreen, Garner recurred on the ABC comedy "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter" from 2003-05. He also voiced God for the short-lived NBC series "God, the Devil and Bob," played the chief justice in CBS' Supreme Court drama "First Monday" and portrayed Mark Twain in a 2002 Hallmark adaptation of Twain's novel "Roughing It."
NBC was developing a new version of "The Rockford Files" in recent years but was not happy with the result, and in April 2012, sister company Universal announced a bigscreen adaptation that would star Vince Vaughn as Rockford. The project is still in development and undergoing a rewrite from novelist Chuck Hogan.
James Bumgarner interrupted his high school education in Norman, Okla., to become a merchant seaman before moving to Los Angeles, enrolling at Hollywood High and then returning to Norman, where he joined the Oklahoma State National Guard.
He briefly went to work in his father's carpeting business in Los Angeles until being called for duty in the Korean War. He served more than a year in the Korean peninsula and was awarded the Purple Heart before his discharge in 1952. He studied business administration at the U. of Oklahoma but left after a semester to wander and take on a variety of odd jobs.
Garner starred with Mariette Hartley in a series of noted commercials for Polaroid in the 1970s.
He won the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award in 2005.
Garner is survived by his wife, the former Lois Clarke, to whom he was married since 1956; daughter Greta "Gigi" Garner; and an adopted daughter, Kimberly, from Clarke's first marriage.

Q: How work PK in oracle I got a task to review and change a PK field in a oracle table (I'm Postgresql and Sql Server guy) I check on TOAD constraints and found this:
PK_POI    Primary Key Disabled  Not Deferrable  Immediate  Not Validated  1    MI_PRINX
SYS_C0010910    Check Disabled  Not Deferrable  Immediate  Not Validated  1    "MI_PRINX" IS NOT NULL

For what I can see two constraint where created, but by my understanding a PK is already a NOT NULL field so why need two constraint?
Also I notice both constraint said are Disable but in my test I can insert null values but not the same id twice
So not sure if Disable constraint mean what I thought should mean.

A: Disable means what you think it means.
Regarding NOT NULL and PRIMARY KEY, they are two constraints. A primary key implies NOT NULL, but if you drop the primary key constraint, the check constraint is still there. See here for details.
Regarding "I can insert null values...": this is because both constraints are disabled.
Regarding "...but not the same id twice": a primary key constraint and the unique index that is used to enforce it are two different things. Can you check if there is an unique index on this column?

Another Discovery Channel Strike coming Monday Night.....INCOMING.....INCOMING.....
wtc7only Sat, 09/06/2008 - 12:39am
Comment: Did you know that common office fires can bring down a building? Willam Rodriques? Who is that? Barry Jennings? Never heard of him. What NASA satelite heat signatures? It was the first "global" collapse of steel structured buildings period. Ignorance is Strength. Long Live Big Brother.
http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/twintowers/twintowers.html
About the film: The image of featureless steel structures catastrophically crumbling into a fatal dust storm was indelibly imprinted on the minds of millions of people around the world. Yet the enormous plumes of smoke, the soaring balls of fire and the sheer scale of the buildings masked the human face of the tragedy. For the first time, through drama supported by interviews and archival footage, TV audiences will be invited to venture inside the towers to follow the stories of more than a dozen individuals whose daily routine is swept aside by events that changed the world forever.
Based on the testimonies of survivors, victims' families, emergency workers and city officials, Inside the Twin Towers opens with a glimpse of the everyday world of work and office life. It is easy to relate to Melanie de Vere, the 30-year-old British publishing executive helping to host a conference in the North Tower, and also with Stanley Praimnath, a banker devoted to his religion and family. We meet Hong Zhu, the broker who was caught up in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and Jan Demczur, the window cleaner who knows so many faces throughout the buildings.
In an instant, fate decrees who will have the opportunity to escape and who will not. Some have the option of being able to leave, but not all have the strength to do what is required to survive. On Sept. 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. and in the following 17 minutes, Melanie, Hong and Jan find that they are among the thousands of people suddenly confronted by confusion and uncertainty. While they search for answers, individuals such as construction manager Frank De Martini are fighting to rescue those trapped by tons of debris. Frank, supported by his colleagues Pablo and Mak, are pushing their way up into the wreckage of the dying building, rolling back the boundary between life and death.
Outside the North Tower, New York officials, supported by the Port Authority, are mobilizing the largest rescue operation in the city's history. Well over 1,000 emergency staff are being deployed, an organized evacuation has begun, and the critical decision that the fire cannot be fought has been made. Most of the North Tower's elevators have stopped working and any firefighter attempting to reach the seat of the blaze will take more than an hour to climb up to the 91st floor. It is at this level that the three emergency stairwells have been severed by the direct force of the remnants of the aircraft. Rescuers will not be able to climb any farther – nor will anybody be able to descend from the higher floors. At least 1,300 people are trapped on the 19 floors above and immediately below the point of collision. Then the second tower is hit.
Stuck in elevators, confronted by dark and smoky exit routes, or hemmed in by burning wreckage, office workers in both towers were beyond the immediate help of the outside world. Individuals were forced to rely on their own resources in making the best of the options available to them. In buildings 110 stories tall, where fires burning at 1,300 degrees Centigrade were melting the steel floor supports, it was a perilous journey down to the ground. Not everybody would escape before the towers collapsed.

Q: Use of plural form of auxiliary verb for singular subject This is an excerpt from an article published on the Nautilus website:

...We in the 21st century would be shocked if an educated adult were unable to identify the continents on a world map, yet we are quite comfortable with widespread obliviousness about anything but the most superficial highlights...

Why has 'were' been used instead of singular 'was'?


Have you ever thought how it would feel to fly like iron man? Hydroflight is the water-sport which answers that question!
Imagine being held in a single moment where all your focus is centered on flying over the water as your adrenaline surges and you carve the air. Come experience the adrenaline surge of life's greatest mystery!
At Extreme Hydro Flight, we offer clients the opportunity to pilot our state of the art Fly Board equipment under the supervision and control of our Certified Flight Instructors.
The flight instructors perform one on one instruction prior to flight. They also provide in-flight instruction during the flight via wireless two way communication with the pilot while controlling the thrust of the fly board. Each flight is custom tailored to the pilot's age and skill level ensuring a once in a lifetime experience that is thrilling, enjoyable and above all else is safe.
While one person flies anywhere from 5 to 15 feet above the water's surface, their friends and family can kick back, relax. They can listen to some tunes and watch from the water on one of our luxury pontoon boats piloted by certified/licensed boat captains.

Q#1:What makes you fly and who controls it?
The wave-runner acts as a water pump that is connected to the commercial hydroflight board with wake board boots which the customer uses to fly. A certified flight instructor controls the thrust from a wave-runner, with training and experience to safely control your flight. We shadow throttle our customers when they are flying. This means,if you are losing your balance slowly, we will slowly lower the throttle and the rider flying into the water, and start over. When someone loses their balance quickly, we splash them into the water quickly so we may restart and get right back up flying. After going into the water, we have the rider get onto their stomach,legs straight and arms in front of them (Super Man position)and prepare to fly again. After 10 minutes,usually steps can be streamlined to go in and out of the water while never even getting your shoulders wet!
Q#2:Do I need to know how to swim?
YES, our water sport is intimately tied to the water and swimming is a pre requisite.
Q#3:What is the Minimum and Maximum Weight?
100 lbs minimum weight.There is no maximum weight restriction.People over 375 lbs have gotten up and happily checked it off their bucket list. Others have returned to do it again as it's such a thrill.
Q#4:Do I need to have tried other sports that require balance like skiing, snowboarding, water skiing, surfing,etc.?
NO, there is no required skills to do this, however experience in any of the above can enhance your learning curve.
Q#4A: Is it hard to balance?
It is not hard to balance once you get it. In the first 10 minutes our staff gets most everyone up and flying. After breaking the ice, we get into the simple movements it takes to fly, and fly well.Then you are flying around and exploring a whole new world.
Q#5: Can I just rent the equipment and do it myself?
No,we rent kayaks and paddle boards for do it yourselfers. The training and experience needed to do this operation safely, and create a positive experience every time, takes a great deal of skill by our instructors.

Mostly this is for commercial applications, however we can sell privately with mandatory training. We mostly sell to commercial operations and train hydroflight instructors commercially.
Q#7:If I buy this privately, will my waverunner insurance cover it?
ABSOLUTELY NOT, Waverunner insurance policies have stipulations that it not be used for hydro flight sports. Leave it to the pro's unless you are looking to become a professional hydroflight athlete which is a different world entirely that we can set up for the right people.

Art has been a form of expression and communication since humans learned to draw with a rock. It has been said that art is the cultural bedrock of a civilization. However, becoming a visual artist can be difficult so carefully consider these recommendations. CAA encourages art students to consider attending a public or private university rather than a technical art and design school to keep expenses down. And since it might be awhile before you can earn a living with your art, keeping your college costs down is vital. Since a creative genius can spring up anywhere, an art student who attends an in-state public college can be just as successful as one who attends an art school. Since it can be difficult to make a living as an artist, most artists have more traditional jobs to support themselves until their big break. Plan to have a second major or minor in another field of interest. For example, artists who are interested in being entrepreneurs might consider double majoring in fine arts and business. If you are the creative type but aren't sure your skill with a paintbrush will afford you a living, there are alternatives to fine art. Graphic design might suit you if you enjoy working on the computer. On the other hand, majoring in commercial and advertising art could lead you to becoming an art director where you would work with designers to devise concepts and layouts for advertisements or publications. Architecture and commercial and industrial design are good options if you like math. And, if you prefer to work inside buildings, you might consider interior design. Other options to consider will depend on your area of interest or favorite subject. For example, if you like psychology and want to help people recover from accidents or trauma, then art therapy might be a good fit. If fine art is your calling, you will need exposure while you are in college, not just after college. CAA suggests you take the initiative to network with well-connected artists in your college and in the community who can refer you to a good gallery or a prominent art agent. Hopeful artists can also gain exposure by working as an assistant in an art studio, gallery, or creative office. Since competition will be tough, you should start creating a personal statement and a portfolio of your art work. Also, look for internship opportunities so that you can learn more about your field of interest. Start planning now for a fulfilling design career! CAA Coaches recommend that all students research their career choices fully and clients are welcome to contact us with any career questions. Stayed tuned for more career blogs coming soon!

Adobe Photoshop Plugin Updated for Image Adjustment
Indii.org earlier released its Tintii Photoshop plugin for color on black-and-white, color popping, selective color, saturation contrast and subtle hue and lightness adjustments. Its most recent release is Urban Lightscape, which employs some of Tintii's core technology but shifts the emphasis to correcting exposure, making localised brightness adjustments and adding light effects to photos.
While Photoshop's global image adjustment capabilities are justly renowned, photos typically also require localized adjustments. At this point users must be adept at selecting the areas of the image they want to adjust, a process that can be non-trivial for many images. In contrast, Urban Lightscape employs a deceptively simple interface, providing a drag-and-drop method of placing control points on a photo, with edge detection localizing and interpolating adjustments around and between these points. Softening harsh shadows, fixing overexposed skies, lightening backlit foregrounds and creating HDR-like effects are among the capabilities of the software.
Urban Lightscape 1.1 is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, with the Windows and Mac versions also available as plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Corel Paint Shop Pro. The application is priced at $4.99, with the plugin/app package selling for $19.99. It's free and open source on Linux. More information and a trial version is available on the Indii.org site.
