Треньор

Арецо
След като се пенсионира, Конте става помощник-мениджър на Луиджи Де Канио в Сиена през сезон 2005/06. През юни 2006 година, той подписва с втородивизионния АК Арецо, но поради слаби резултати бива уволнен през октомври. През 2007 година отново застава начело на АК Арецо, като записва 5 поредни победи. Това, обаче не е достатъчно за оцеляване и отбора изпада в по-долна дивизия.

Бари
В края на 2007 година подписва с отбора на Бари. Там той се справя много добре като успява да спаси отбора от изпадане. Още следващия сезон успява и да спечели Серия Б и да класира отбора в Серия А.

Аталанта
През 2009 г. поема отбора на Аталанта. Там обаче не се задържа дълго, тъй като възниква неразбирателство меджу него и феновете на отбора.

Сиена
През 2010 година е представен като нов старши треньор на Сиена. Основната му цел там е да класира отбора в Серия А, което той прави.

Ювентус
През 2011 година Конте се връща в Ювентус като треньор. Неговата задача там е да направи отбора шампион в Серия А в сезон 2011/12 и в крайна сметка успява, като отборът не допуска нито една загуба през сезона. Същата година печели и Суперкупата на Италия. На 27 януари 2013 г. Конте е обявен за треньор за 2012 г. от Асоциацията на професионалните футболисти в Италия. В дебютния си сезон в Шампионска лига 2012/13, Конте извежда отбора до четвъртфиналната фаза. В груповата фаза Ювентус успява да победи действащия шампион Челси, а в последния кръг, на практика и го изхвърля от турнира като е победен отбора на Шахтьор Донецк. На осминафинала Ювентус срещат отбора на Селтик и го отстраняват с две победи с общ резултат 5:0. На четвъртфинала Ювентус е отстранен от Байерн Мюнхен. В същия сезон в Серия А, Конте печели титлата за втори пореден път. В следващия сезон извежда отбора до трета поредна титла в Италия и до полуфинал в Лига Европа. Същия сезон са подобрени два рекорда в Серия А. Първият е за най-много спечелени мачове в един сезон (33), а вторият за най-много спечелени точки в един сезон (102). Вторият е и европейски рекорд в първенствата от топ 5. На 15 юли 2014 г. Конте подава оставка.

Италия
През август 2014 г. Конте става треньор на Италия. Записва победа при дебюта си начело на националния отбор в контрола срещу Нидерландия, спечелена с 2:0.

Челси
На 4 април 2016 г. е обявено, че Конте ще поеме английския Челси през лятото на същата година след края на Евро 2016.Ощв в дебютния си сезон печели титлата в Англия.

Скандал
През 2012 година Конте е обвинен в укриване на престъпление, докато е бил старши-треньор в АК Сиена. В крайна сметка бива наказан за 10 месеца да не води отбора на Ювентус по време на мач. Впоследствие наказанието му е намалено на 4 месеца. На 9.12.2012 г. се завръща на пейката в мач срещу отбора на Палермо, в който бианконерите печелят с 0:1.

Helping those affected by Mt. Soledad landslide
By Scott Peters
First District, city council
Given Mount Soledad's geological history and history of soil slippage, last month's massive landslide was not unexpected, but still came as a surprise to many. My concern is for the affected families as they find ways to repair and rebuild the homes in which they have invested so much time, effort and care. I know that neighbors, families and friends pitched in to minimize the inevitable disruption.
Thanks to the early action and quick work of city crews, no one was killed or injured, and residents were given advance notice and a few hours to gather their belongings. Rescue crews were on scene immediately to free trapped residents and secure the site. Utility and public works crews tended to water, wastewater, electric and gas lines. Engineers and geologists worked to secure the hillside and began the hard work of rebuilding public roads.
Some have been quick to assign blame, as is an unfortunate practice too common in modern public life. I have chosen to focus on helping the affected families recover, and I'll leave blame assigning to the lawyers.
Work is already underway to begin repairs to Soledad Mountain Road. I am as eager as anyone to see that road repaired quickly, as that is my preferred way to and from work. The emergency declaration approved unanimously by the City Council allows the City to expedite design and contracting work and access state and federal disaster funds to quickly re-build this busy road. While it will most likely be many more months before the repairs are complete and Soledad Mountain Road is re-opened, I applaud the Mayor and city staff for their round-the-clock efforts.
In the meantime, residents, me included, seem to be navigating the detour routes with few problems. I would ask that we all be mindful of the families living along the new alternate routes, and watch our speed, especially near local schools.
As an aside, the recent issues on Mount Soledad have once again pointed out the confusion created by re-drawn council district boundaries. When I was elected to the City Council in 2000, the entirety of La Jolla was included in the First Council District. I knocked on doors in the affected area of Mount Soledad and pledged to those residents to protect and enhance their community.
The decennial census and redistricting process two years later carved away this section of La Jolla, assigning it to the Second Council District, now represented by my colleague Kevin Faulconer. The boundary line is only a half-block from my house. I am proud to work alongside Mr. Faulconer, and applaud him and his staff for their caring and rapid response to this disaster. However, I feel that this splitting up of La Jolla is a disservice to our community. I look forward to the next round of redistricting following the 2010 census, when I hope La Jolla will be reunited.

Could they possibly think we are any MORE stupid?
Darlene: they are used to dealing with run of the mill Democrats. Based on that experience, what else could they think?
Can you think of a better reason for them to try and destroy talk radio?
It is a Hugo Chavez redux.

Brett Tarr – Caesars Entertainment Corporation
Taking no gambles on e-discovery
Produced by: Tania Doles
Employing 70,000 people and operating 55 casinos around the world, along with dozens of accompanying hotels and restaurants, the name of this behemoth is synonymous with nightlife and weekend getaways, as well as a growing presence in interactive virtual reality.
Taken together, the legal landscape of Caesars Entertainment Corporation (CEC)—a $4.5 billon enterprise so dynamic federal regulators treat it like a bank—is one most in-house counsels would avoid. In other words, just the challenge Brett Tarr was born for.
"I'd never worked in an organization this large, that's for sure—and that was part of the appeal," Tarr says about arriving at the Las Vegas headquarters in 2012. "But the fundamentals were the same. And it was a role where I could really bring my expertise to bear," he says, referring to his years of experience digging up electronic information for use in litigation and investigations.
Now, as CEC's chief counsel for e-discovery and information governance, Tarr occupies one of the company's most critical legal posts—and one of its most involved.
Tarr spent much of his first year talking to people at all levels of the company with an eye on finding ways to make data and information management easier.
"I liken it to a basketball coach that takes over a team," Tarr illustrates. "You don't want to institute your system irrespective of personnel. But you also don't want to let the players dictate the system themselves. Communication is key to finding that middle ground."
One of Tarr's first moves was to transfer the electronic record review process from outside counsel to a group of expert e-discovery vendors.
In the past, when a judge or opposing counsel made a discovery request—say, for a case involving an alleged breach of contract between a Caesars casino and a business partner—the company's outside counsel would be forced to fish for data with as wide a net as possible: needlessly broad date ranges, searches that captured tens of thousands of superfluous emails, and so on.
In partnership with the e-discovery vendors and internal staff, Tarr created terms and concepts for every potential e-discovery request—everything from contract disputes with strategic business partners or technology companies to wrongful termination suits of restaurant employees—eliminating scores of useless search criteria.
Now, keyword and date-range searches that once produced 3 million email results might yield 150,000—or fewer. This is where Tarr's pivot away from using outside counsel looms large: If a law firm charges anywhere from $250 to $1,000 an hour for its attorneys to review documents, at a review pace of 45-60 documents an hour, Caesars might be paying as much as $20 for every document reviewed. Using the company's e-discovery vendor, that figure is closer to $1 per document.
"You do the math," Tarr quips, adding that the resulting savings have been in the nine figures.
Minding the bottom line
Tarr's approach required more than just new keywords, however. Working closely with representatives from the IT and other business units, Tarr devised a strategy for consolidating Caesars' vast data troves—structured data around financials and operations for its portfolio of hotels and casinos, employee personnel files, general documents and presentations, and all manner of contracts—into more structured, cohesive groupings.
According to Tarr, the core principles of this process—digitizing documents, consolidating applications, and centralizing data storage—have resulted in decreased storage costs, reduced security vulnerabilities and better managed customer and employee privacy.
What's more, there's been a tangible improvement in the ability of those in the organization—people Tarr calls "knowledge workers"—to quickly locate and access the required documents. That, in turn, allows employees to spend "less time searching for data and more time working with the data."
Even by conservative estimates, having five minutes in reduced time per knowledge worker across the company each day adds up to approximately $10 million in labor cost savings per year.
"We're not just making our systems and processes more efficient, we're making people more efficient," Tarr says. "That's good for the bottom line, but it's also good for morale, in that you don't have people searching four different places for one document; they know exactly where to go."
According to Tarr, Caesars' IT leadership has played a critical role in these strategic goals, primarily by championing the move to centralized, cloud-based applications, including Oracle for finance and human resources, Salesforce for customer relationship management, and Microsoft Office 365 for enterprise productivity, among others.
In addition to information governance, Tarr must also know when statutes of limitation allow for information to be deleted—given the threat of cybersecurity breaches—and ensure no data is kept longer than necessary. These regulatory and risk elements must also be balanced against the needs of enterprise employees to avoid deleting data that may still have business value past minimum required retention.
In short, it's the kind of role that puts Tarr's abiding passion for business squarely in the spotlight.
His love of law, on the other hand, took a bit longer to cultivate.
Back to business
The son of a serial entrepreneur, Tarr developed an early-in-life proclivity for the creative side of business.
"I was always entranced by this idea of taking an idea and bringing it to full fruition," Tarr recalls. "I recognized law as a role that could help facilitate that process, but I had no interest in being a litigator crafting opening and closing arguments in a courtroom or being a transactional lawyer dealing with 10,000-page contracts. I wanted something more well-rounded."
It was during his junior year at the University of California, Los Angeles—where the native New Englander earned a scholarship to play soccer—that Tarr seriously considered a career in business law. After earning his B.A. in history and psychology in 1994, Tarr moved back East to attend the prestigious Duke University School of Law.
J.D. in hand, Tarr's business journey began in earnest when he joined online retailer The Clothing Man as VP of operations and corporate counsel in 1997. Three years later, after shepherding technologies, including a user-friendly, kiosk-based delivery system, Tarr helped negotiate a merger with two competitors to form Purchasing Power LLC.
In 2002, while in the midst of a two-year master's program at Georgia State University, Tarr earned his first C-suite title: chief marketing officer (CMO) for Lifestyle Products, LLC. Here, he oversaw every aspect of the company's lifecycle strategy, from formulation and packaging to retail placement and contract agreements.
Eager to sharpen his legal skills, Tarr supplemented his CMO duties with a three-year run at the Atlanta-based firm of King & Spalding, where he supported complex business litigation and environmental/mass tort litigation, including high profile tobacco and pharmaceutical matters, while cultivating relationships with the firm's burgeoning in-house litigation support and e-discovery functions.
From 2006 to 2009, Tarr served as director of marketing and general counsel for eMag Solutions, a global tape restoration and data services provider specializing in e-discovery—a calling Tarr quickly heeded.
"It put a whole new spin on how the legal and business side could be melded," Tarr recalls.
In 2009, Tarr launched Discovery Advisors, an independent e-discovery and marketing consultancy. Over the next three years, he authored multiple articles for legal service providers, generated RFP proposals for a $3 million government contract and garnered millions more in service accounts.
Nine years later, Discovery Advisors continues, but it's his duties at Caesars that use most of his bandwidth.
To be sure, it's a role in which efficiency is king. Save, perhaps, for that two-line title of his.
"It's a lot of jargon, I know," Tarr says with a laugh. "And it's a lot of work. But it's the kind of work I love: creative, collaborative, business-facing. And it's a pretty fun business besides."

We see the world through filters like social conditioning and our beliefs. In addition, filters are created by our physical and emotional experiences. They are one of the reasons why we can look at the same thing and see something different. Can two people have different ideas about the same thing and believe that their way is the only correct way? Can those opposing ideas both be correct or is there only one way to do or think about things? Unfortunately most of the time we think that the way we are seeing things is the only way. This in turn makes it easy for us to point to things outside of ourselves and say; that is the problem or they are the problem. However, in truth the problem never starts out there it starts in you.
Can you be rigorously honest with yourself right this second? Are you willing to admit the truth about yourself to yourself? Do you feel different about your life than the way that you portray it to your family and friends? Can you see that you have fear around being this rigorously honest with yourself and others? You might feel that if you do you will be judged or not liked; even worse, you will not be loved or accepted. Through the process of letting go (see 42 and 57) we find our strength and realize that there is truth in the quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself".
One way to uncover our True-Self is by becoming aware of our filters. When you can face your fear and become rigorously honest with yourself, you can begin the journey of letting go finding more balance and peace in your life. In addition to all the other blessing that come with releasing your False-Self and revealing your True-Self.


by President Thomas Mengler, J.D., and School of Law Dean Stephen M. Sheppard, J.S.D.
The St. Mary's University School of Law turned 90 years old in 2017. As we celebrate this benchmark and look ahead to our centennial, we are aware of our responsibilities to our alumni, to our students, to the law and to our Catholic and Marianist mission. Thanks to this legacy from our founders, alumni and donors, we will meet these responsibilities for future generations.
We both came to St. Mary's attracted to its mission of forming students as leaders with knowledge, skills and values. We believe in the St. Mary's commitment to open doors for our students.
Today, we ask you to join with other alumni and friends in growing this legacy — a legacy of quality and opportunity in the formation of lawyers committed to the highest ideals of the profession. We believe in this legacy and the mission it supports.
As President and as Dean, collectively we bring more than 50 years of teaching and administration in law schools. We know that success for more than 9,000 outstanding St. Mary's graduates is no guarantee of success for tomorrow's students.
We have an opportunity to lead in this changing world of legal education. To do so — in fact, even to keep up — we must do more for our future students. We must integrate our mission into new curricula for tomorrow's challenges, leveraging the changing legal education landscape to increase the value of a St. Mary's law degree.
School of Law Dean Stephen M. Sheppard, J.S.D.
We must enhance our scholarships to attract and assist students of merit. We must attract great faculty with a commitment to develop tomorrow's lawyers for tomorrow's clients. And we must tell our story nationally, to extol our graduates' achievements and to enhance the value and potential of a St. Mary's law degree.
To sustain these goals, we are launching the law school's most ambitious campaign to date in partnership with the University's comprehensive campaign, The Defining Moment. We hope to raise $25 million to sustain the law school.
Your engagement with the law school through the campaign and its programs is crucial. We are asking not just for gifts, but also for action. You can help others enjoy the opportunities you received here and enhance the very meaning of your St. Mary's law degree.
Join your fellow alumni and friends. Join the future of the St. Mary's University School of Law.
Essential for St. Mary's Law is attracting highly capable students who will lead their peers today and our world tomorrow. Many of these future leaders are financially challenged, and competition among law schools for the commitments of these students is at an all-time high. For St. Mary's to build a successful J.D. class each year, we must offer more scholarships, especially those that provide greater financial support.
The Law Success Program is an innovative St. Mary's program for individual student coaching across the entire class. A synthesis of skills instruction, assessment, retraining and reassessment, the Law Success Program develops both prelegal and legal skills that foster success in class, on the bar exam and in practice. Law Success will not replace traditional study or performance in law school courses. It supports that study and enhances that performance. See this story for more on the new Law Success Program.
Our faculty members are at the core of a St. Mary's Law student's educational experience. During the next decade, St. Mary's must focus on resources to recruit and retain faculty. Our goal is to raise endowment resources to support our faculty and programs, which will help us attract and retain outstanding resident faculty — our greatest asset. When we support our faculty's talents, then our students receive the best legal education possible.

Disney In Depth: 7 Ways Disney Parks Celebrate America
By Brett Nachman | @ | Thursday, July 4th, 2013 at 11:00 am
The Walt Disney Company's connection to the United States is strong in its values, such as the Heroes Work Here program for veterans, and even more visible in its theme parks. Disney showcases its red, white and blue pride in its various entertainment offerings at the parks.
Check out seven ways in which Disney parks celebrate America, and then watch a special video edition of Disney In Depth on this theme.
1. 4th of July Fireworks
The popularity of these colorfully patriotic explosions in the sky has convinced Disney to increase its frequency. As part of the Limited Time Magic campaign, each night from July 1 – July 7, the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World has launched 4th of July fireworks. Good deal for those who cannot come to the park on the actual day.
2. The Hall of Presidents
Where else can you find George Washington and Barack Obama in the same room? Well, perhaps at a Madame Tussauds, but at least at The Hall of Presidents they speak for themselves. The audio-animatronic (AA) figures of one of Walt Disney World's most underrated experiences are life-like works of art. No wonder why 40 years ago some believed they were actors. No joke.
3. The American Adventure
Mark Twain and Benjamin Franklin are among Disney's most advanced AA figures, as Franklin "walks" up a staircase. But that neat trick is not the reason for watching this thrilling 30-minute history lesson. It's to gain an appreciation of American progress over the course of centuries, albeit overlooking this nation's unfortunate missteps. Nevertheless, the "Golden Dream" song that concludes the presentation calls for cheering "U.S.A."
4. Main Street USA Entertainment
Speaking of USA, one legendary avenue honors all that is stars and stripes. Main Street USA holds historic charm of an American long forgotten, the early days of the 20th century when horse-drawn trolleys, soda shops and opera houses existed in harmony. The musical entertainment, including the Dapper Dans a capella group, define the heart of Americana at the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.
5. Cars Land
"That's a stretch," one may contend. "How does this place celebrate America?" But Cars Land, set in Disney California Adventure, celebrates the spirit of Route 66. The Ornament Valley mountain range resembles what one might find in the American West, while the stores and restaurants found in Radiator Springs bring to mind what one could find in a small American town. As Lightning McQueen would say, "Ka-chow!"
6. New Orleans Square Jazz
Bring on the blues and razzmatazz. Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion may be viewed as the major hotspots within Disneyland's version of the Deep South, but for some, the ambiance makes New Orleans Square stand out in its authenticity. Credit the diverse, multi-talented musicians and dancers who belt out jazz with their signature soulful enthusiasm.
7. Voices of Liberty
The best for last. I have loved the Voices of Liberty ever since I first heard them one decade ago. This American-themed a capella band, who dress to the part in 18th-century attire, sing American favorites – either inside or outside The American Adventure at Epcot. Their collective extravagant tones exude gusto. Who would not want to sit and listen to them for hours? Well, maybe not if "Oh Susanna" is on loop, but the group nicely mixes up the patriotic playbook.
Check out the video edition below:
What aspect of the Disney Parks do you feel is most patriotic? Share your thoughts.

A retweet from freedoms: If our forefathers replied
Margaret Sullivan The Washington Post
Donald Trump says he wants the news media to stop being crooked, dishonest and — his favorite word — rigged.
What he really seems to want is for journalists to stop doing their jobs, which is to examine the backgrounds of candidates and hold them to the truth. As many reporters have toughened their questioning in recent weeks, and as his campaign has struggled under one self-inflicted disaster after other, the Republican nominee has squealed ever louder.
Based on every complaint Trump has made, he doesn't understand what journalism's role in our democracy is supposed to be. It is not, of course, shilling for Donald Trump — or any other candidate.
The attacks have an unmistakable whiff of desperation, and they are surely meant as a distraction and as a hearty helping of red meat to his political base.
Many of his objections, naturally, have been expressed in tweets — @realDonaldTrump's favorite form of direct-to-the-people communication.
Here are just three examples from the past few days:
On the role of the press in a democracy: "My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm."
On the power of the press: "If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly, and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%."
On the definition of a free press: "It is not 'freedom of the press' when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false."
But what would the founders and some of the nation's great constitutional thinkers say? If they could rise from the graves in which they've no doubt been rolling, fetch their smartphones, indulge in a little too much Madeira and hold forth on Twitter, they'd have a lot to say, with no trouble keeping to the character limit.
@TJefferson's tweet storm might begin: Choose "a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government? I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
Then doubling down:
"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost."
And, unstoppable: "Freedom of the press is ... first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions."
Supreme Court Justice @HugoBlack would have retweeted that and added his own sentiment: "Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government."
What about the notion that the press should be helpful, not mean, to Mr. Trump?
"Debate on public issues should be uninhibited. ... It may well include vehement, caustic, & sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks," Supreme Court Justice @WilliamBrennan would have ruled.
@JamesMadison, who authored the First Amendment — a pithy piece of writing if there ever was one, although well over 140 characters — also wrote that free speech is "the only effectual guardian of every other right."
From all I can tell, he never offered even a single character, no matter how much Madeira was poured, about puffing up a candidate's poll numbers.

CAIR sides with child sex trafficker, Capitalist greed, & Goodbye to Ted Cruz?
Mar 24, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 8:55 pm
« Whites can't understand Islam & Modern Liberalism is…
Women of color better than white, Teaching police brutality, & Killing free speech »
Last year, CAIR Leader Ahmad Saleem was arrested in major child sex trafficking ring bust, with children as young as 10-years-old. How did CAIR officially respond?
"There is no better time than now for us to make a genuine truce between one another, to resolve our differences, and to live happily alongside one another as a peaceful, loving, and diverse community."
What the heck does THAT mean? This is a MAJOR difference in our cultures that can't be bridged with simple "can't we all get along" sympathies. This is why assimilation is key.
Libertarian writer and pundit, Michael Hausam says FoxNews is not so fair & balanced anymore. Is there ANY political system not motivated by greed? Let's ask Castro.
Professor requires students to read his sexual fantasies in a mandatory art class at a private college. I guess that passes for "art" these days? In his "textbook" he also decries capitalist greed. I assume he's giving his book away… right?
The National Enquirer broke John Edwards and Gary Hart's presidential hopes… now they're running a story of multiple Ted Cruz affairs… if it's true, stick a fork in him, he's done!
