Rodgers shrugs off Favre comments, emphasizes team
Unlikely matchup for Tigers-Yankees finale
Titans jell quickly with new coordinator, players
The Tennessee Titans have jelled quickly under a new defensive coordinator and now five different starters from a year ago. They have given up the fewest points in the NFL and are allowing the least yards per play.
Safety Jordan Babineaux has a warning for opponents: The Titans can be even better.
''The thing that you all don't see is the fact that we're winning, but we're still not playing our best football,'' Babineaux said Wednesday. ''That's scary. Watch out.''
The Titans (3-1) care most about keeping opponents out of the end zone and have done a good job so far doing just that. Nobody has scored more than 16 points against Tennessee so far, and that was Jacksonville in an opening 16-14 loss. The Titans haven't lost since then, giving up 13 in beating Baltimore, 14 to Denver and 13 in last week's win at Cleveland.
''You keep them out of the end zone, you put yourself in position to win that's for sure,'' Babineaux said. ''One of the other things is great team defense will get that done whether you're first in the run game or last in the passing, it doesn't matter. If your red zone efficiency and you're able to keep teams out of the end zone ... we're giving the offense a great chance to score points.''
The Titans also are holding opponents to a league-fewest 4.36 yards per play. They have given up only 10 plays of 20 or more yards through the first four games, tied with Cincinnati for fewest in the NFL. Only one of those came on a run play when Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 21 yards in the opener, and they haven't given up a pass play longer than 32 yards.
That point stat is what matters most to the Titans.
''We're very proud of that,'' cornerback Jason McCourty said. ''At the beginning of the year we came in and that's what we talked about. Championship teams and the amount of points they've let up.''
Mike Munchak hired Jerry Gray as his defensive coordinator in February shortly after he was promoted to head coach. Gray took over a defense that ranked 15th in the league in points allowed but 26th in total yards and 29th against the past. No NFL defense gave up more first downs per game than the Titans. It didn't help that the NFL lockout wiped out the offseason.
The Titans stocked up on defense in the draft, and linebacker Akeem Ayers, a second-round pick out of UCLA, has worked with the starting defense since the first practice of training camp with tackle Jurrell Casey of Southern California starting in the middle. Each has started the first four games, the first time that's happened since this franchise switched nicknames to the Titans in 1999.
Ayers already has 20 tackles, a sack and 20 quarterback pressures. Casey has 19 tackles with three quarterback pressures.
They aren't the only new faces. Tennessee added veteran Barrett Ruud at middle linebacker, tackle Shaun Smith to add size in the middle of the line next to Casey and Babineaux started two games while Chris Hope recovered from a dislocated shoulder. Now Babineaux will be starting while Hope recovers from a broken left forearm.
Cornerback Cortland Finnegan credits Gray with playing everyone to their strengths. That includes moving Finnegan from covering receivers near the sideline in passing situations into the slot, which Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin has noticed as the Steelers (2-2) prepare to host Tennessee on Sunday.
''I really think it is awesome utilization of his natural skills and awareness,'' Tomlin said. ''He is doing an awesome job of it, not only creating plays for himself but for others. It is pretty special.''
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he has to find Finnegan on the field. But he thinks the Titans' strength on defense is up front.
''They have a very good D-line that really has high motors and gets after the ball,'' Roethlisberger said.
The Titans gave up a late touchdown to Cleveland last week that didn't matter on the scoreboard in a 31-13 win. That didn't Gray from continuing to teach his players on the sideline. Finnegan said they are working to eliminate mental errors, and McCourty said Gray expects perfection from them.
''As a player, you've got to love that a coach is going to stay on you and try to get the best out of you,'' McCourty said. ''The fact that we're up a lot of points and he's still coaching, still getting after us, he knows that there's a bigger picture beyond the game.''
Notes: TE Craig Stevens (ribs) did not practice Wednesday along with WR Marc Mariani (hip). S Michael Griffin was limited due a stomach virus, and LB Gerald McRath (left knee) practiced after sitting out last week.

Karl Lippmann (* 27. Juli 1887 in München; † 22. September 1946 in Hersbruck) war ein deutscher Verwaltungsjurist und als Bezirksoberamtmann Leiter des Bezirksamtes Schongau.

Leben
Nach dem Abitur am Luitpold-Gymnasium München studierte Karl Lippmann Rechtswissenschaften an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Mitglied im Corps Suevia München) und der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, machte die erste juristische Staatsprüfung mit anschließendem dreijährigen Vorbereitungsdienst, der ihn zum Amtsgericht München I, Landgericht München I, zur Polizeidirektion München, zum Bezirksamt Dachau und  Stadtmagistrat München führte. Am 23. Oktober 1910 promovierte er in Erlangen mit der Dissertation "Das Ewiggeld in München" zum Dr. jur. 1912 folgte das Große juristische Staatsexamen mit anschließender Beschäftigung als juristischer Hilfsarbeiter bei einem Rechtsanwalt. Zum 1. Dezember 1913 kam er in die Bayerische Zentraldarlehnskasse. Lippmann musste Kriegsdienst leisten. Nach dem Krieg wurde er Akzessist bei der Regierung der Oberpfalz und später Assessor beim Bezirksamt Viechtach und von Mai 1920 an in Kelheim. Zum 1. April 1927 wurde er als Bezirksamtmann mit der Leitung des Bezirksamtes Rosenheim beauftragt, wo er am 1. August 1933 zum Regierungsrat ernannt wurde. Zum 1. Mai 1935 wechselte er die Verwaltung und wurde als Bezirksoberamtmann Leiter des Bezirksamtes Schongau. Dieses Amt hatte er bis zu seinem Weggang zum Obersicherungsamt Landshut am 16. August 1937 inne. Dort wurde er am 14. August 1944 zum Oberregierungsrat ernannt und im Mai 1945 seines Amtes enthoben. Er kam nach Hersbruck in ein Internierungslager, wo er am 22. September 1946 verstarb. Das Ergebnis eines  Entnazifizierungsverfahrens ist nicht belegt. Es kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass er als Mitläufer oder entlastet bewertet worden ist, den seiner Witwe wurden ab 1949 Versorgungsbezüge zugesprochen.

Lippmann war von 1922 bis 1927 Mitglied der Bayerischen Mittelpartei und vom 1. Mai 1933 an Mitglied der NSDAP (Mitgliedsnummer 3.296.594). 1944/1945 fungierte er als  Propaganda- und Pressehauptstellenheiter der NSDAP-Ortsgruppe "Scharnhorst" in Landshut.

Sexual Health Info
Is This Really What A Feminist Government Looks Like?
Published in the Huffington Post for International Women's Day
Let's look closely at the extent to which Canada is meeting feminist principles — both in policy and in practice.
The Trudeau government's adoption of the term "feminist" to describe, among other things, its budget and its approach to international assistance, requires us to look closely at the extent to which Canada is meeting feminist principles – both in policy and in practice.
A commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights is one example, especially important in today's global political climate, of how Canada is – and isn't – walking the talk and putting its money where its mouth is.
Last year's enactment of the Global Gag Rule from our neighbours to the South opened up a whopping $8 billion global funding gap. It prohibits NGOs around the world receiving U.S. international aid from providing services, information, counselling, referrals or advocacy related to abortion (and in some cases contraceptives). In response, Canada was among the governments around the world who rallied together to defend sexual and reproductive health rights.
Until recently though, Canada was part of the problem, not the solution, with its own version of the Global Gag Rule implemented by the Harper government in 2010. The Global Gag Rule is not only devastating in that it cuts funding to vital areas, it also exacerbates existing gaps.
Thankfully, the global movement has started to fill these gaps, with Canada taking an important place at the table. Our government took a vocal stand in support of sexual and reproductive health and rights and made an initial $20 million commitment at the global She Decides conference to address new gaps created by the U.S. policy, which was followed by a $650 million announcementlast International Women's Day for sexual and reproductive health and rights programming.
Canada's political commitment to feminism comes at a time of financial crisis in the global sexual and reproductive health and rights movement. While gaps existed before Trump, the U.S. was once the largest bilateral donor to family planning and reproductive health and the reinstatement of the policy has already led to the closure of clinics in low-income countries, which has been particularly difficult in parts of Africa where NGO-led clinics are the primary source of HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment, maternal health care, and counseling in cases of sexual violence.
The long overdue commitment is more than just money. It seeks to address our previous government's refusal to ensure that women and girls have agency and the tools to make decisions about their own sexual and reproductive health. In other words, it represents a concrete move to align international assistance with feminist principles.
We know from our work in the global feminist movement that the most neglected areas are the ones where ideological approaches that aren't grounded in evidence have fueled regressive programs and policies, specifically in the areas of abortion, feminist advocacy, and comprehensive sexuality education (sex ed that recognizes the realities and human rights of young people).
The commitment is feminist in that it places women, girls, and all people and their rights at the centre of development. It recognizes that limiting access to a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services is a violation of human rights. It recognizes the need to support legal and policy advocacy that advances these rights. It brings an intersectional approach to sexual and reproductive health that addresses gender equality and the contexts in which we live, our social determinants of health.
This shift in approach has been significant. But is it enough to move the needle in the most underfunded and neglected areas?
Although the 2018 budget saw a small increase in development aid, this won't ensure it keeps up with inflation. Canada's overall spending in the area has steadily decreased over the years and no new funds for sexual and reproductive health and rights were included. Without a solid commitment to increase aid spending over the long-term, Canada's investment in sexual and reproductive health and rights beyond 2020 (when the $650 million runs out), will be in serious jeopardy.
A feminist approach to international assistance requires more than just money to "fill the gaps" Canada helped to create. But a feminist approach to international assistance that isn't accompanied by meaningful investment, particularly in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights, isn't feminist.
A feminist approach requires a sustained commitment beyond the next election to realize substantive change in the most neglected areas. It requires that Canada continue to be vocally supportive of sexual and reproductive health and rights in international decision-making spaces, including the G7. It requires the creation of an institutionalized approach to sexual and reproductive health and rights within our development agency (Global Affairs Canada) through a Canadian global sexual and reproductive health and rights policy that can't be swept under the rug with a change in government. It requires modernizing government funding mechanisms so that grassroots feminist organizations working to achieve legal and policy gains are able to receive financial support. That is what a feminist government looks like.

I've talked to alot of people who are going back and rediscovering Mickey Rourke performances after seeing THE WRESTLER. They rent BARFLY, maybe 9 1/2 WEEKS, ANGEL HEART, JOHNNY HANDSOME, THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. I was thinking about that and suddenly it occurred to me that I don't hear anybody talking about a little picture I am very fond of but haven't seen in many years, one with a cover that says VAN DAMME – RODMAN – ROURKE. So I rented it in preparation for a post-Oscars celebration.
Well, poor Mickey didn't get the Oscar, but who needs an Oscar when you can say 'I WAS IN DOUBLE TEAM, MOTHERFUCKER'? I mean, which would YOU rather have? Okay, I guess most of you probaly said the Oscar, but what would your second choice be?
Anyway I love this movie. It joins STONE COLD in an elite category of highly enjoyable action movies that combine serious action chops, high energy, a way above average number-of-explosions-to-minutes-of-screen-time ratio, a stupid story, a great actor playing the villain and a goofy performance by a ridiculously dressed flash-in-the-pan professional athlete turned non-actor.
Jean-Claude Van Damme plays P. Jack Quinn, a secret agent involved in the attempted assassination of Stavros (Rourke), a former agency asset. It turns out Stavros has his little boy there, the kid gets shot, and Quinn must be avenged. (Come to think of it, this movie could be told from Rourke's point of view and he would be the good guy.)
If you're into this kind of movie, which you are, it won't take long to realize that this is in the higher echelon. Within the first fifteen minutes or so you've already seen Quinn driving a futuristic truck full of plutonium off a mountain, Stavros walking slo-mo away from a cab he blew up, a bunch of people at a carnival still going on rides even though Stavros and Quinn are running around firing guns and blowing shit up, a hand grenade thrown into a baby's bassinet (man, Stavros carries alot of grenades with him when he brings his kid to the carnival)… and then when Quinn gets knocked out and wakes up he kills a TV because it informs him that his wife thinks he's dead and he's now living on an island called The Colony where all the world's most dangerous secret agents are spending their golden years hanging out at a pool and then wearing sci-fi goggles and poring over data about recent terrorist acts to offer their analysis. So Quinn trains himself up BLOODSPORT style, executes an impressive escape from the island, finds out his wife had a baby but Stavros kidnapped it, then goes to the Roman Collisseum with Dennis Rodman to fight Stavros and a tiger without setting off landmines. You know, one of those kind of movies.
Rodman is, let's just say, a unique movie presence. In my experience most movies don't have a 6′ 8″ foot tall dude with tiger striped hair wearing pink spandex pants and a silver bra selling weapons. Later when he wants to blend in he changes the hair to green and wears a nice suit and fedora but still has two nose rings and 3 hoop earrings and drives a tiny car with his head sticking out of the sun roof. He looks good in the fights too, he's no Kareem in GAME OF DEATH but he does have a similar thing going on with the ridiculously long legs doing high kicks. Also he tends to toss people around like basketballs. Actually, he uses your arm sort of like a handle, just lifts you up and throws you against a wall or through a window. He's a weapons dealer who invented a special basketball shaped parachute and a smoke bomb coin. He turns out to have a heart of gold, so when he finds out about the kidnapped baby he goes along in the mission free of charge. But then when he rescues the baby from the tiger/minefield he just hides him in a hole in the wall and abandons him.
Xin Xin Xiong, who was in some of the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA movies, choreographed the fights, and I guess he figured if you want it done right do it yourself, so he has the best fight with Van Damme. He jumps up and kicks his shoes off in the air, then produces a switchblade from his foot and has a knife fight. The weird thing is I figure he doesn't really do anything he couldn't do better with his hands, but he just knows it's gonna fuck with a guy's mind if you come at him holding a switchblade in your toes. People tend to lose their shit when you pull freaky tricks like that.
As for Rourke – okay, this is not exactly the greatest showcase of his talents, but they don't completely waste him. He treats it seriously and doesn't play it as a maniac, he is obviously in the right from his point of view. He even gives Quinn a chance to win his son back, and if not he's gonna raise it as his own, not kill it. So he's a nice villain. Rourke also gets to take his shirt off and do a little boxing. Kind of cool to have the boxer vs. the kickboxer (although they have Mickey doing some kicks too). Anyway I thought this was being entirely forgotten in his filmography, but to my surprise they showed some clips of it before his interview on the Barbara Walters Oscar special. In the interview he talked about a low point in his life after his wife left him and he had taken a movie just for the money and felt like a whore. But don't worry, I did the math, it can't be this one! Maybe the Stallone remake of GET CARTER, but not this one, he was still with his wife during this one. Phew!
But obviously it's more of a Van Damme movie and it's easily one of my favorites because it's so over-the-top and such a weird combination of elements: a cool ripoff of THE PRISONER crammed into the middle of this weird Dennis Rodman movie. I didn't even mention the computer expert monks who return in Rodman's SIMON SEZ, the out-of-place basketball references or Van Damme's bohemian disguise. There's really no other movie like this except Van Damme's other movie with director Tsui Hark, KNOCK OFF (the two are often referred to as Van Damme's surrealist period, although only by me.)
Whenever somebody wants a recommendation for a completely insane, hilariously stupid but also awesome action movie, this is one of the first titles that pops into my head. If I had an Oprah's book club type deal I would have to assign this one. Go watch it and let me know what you think.

I love this review and this film for being insane. I cant believe you didnt mention the hi-tec monks. They just come out nowhere and you are supposed to go ¨of course……hi-tec monks¨. And all those Coca Cola vending machines at the end?
RRA
Sorry Vern, but I thought this was kinda dull. We go through the action motions, but I never felt connected or particularly compelled. It contains alot of the same crazy story touches we saw in KNOCK-OFF, but lacking in the filmatics.
I think what Mr. Majestyk said in the KNOCK-OFF comments perfectly sums up what is wrong with DOUBLE TEAM.
That said, DOUBLE TEAM finally gets interesting with that crazy-planned finale and of course the world's toughest vending machine. But too late.

I liked Knock Off better becaus it had that weird guy from all the Adam Sandler movies team up with Van Damme for a buddy action comedy movie. A lot of people dont belive that movie excists when i tell them about it. I just wish Adam Sandler had done a small cameo in it like he usaly does in Rob's films. But i guess that would have been hard since it was filmed in Hong Kong.

IMDB says the movie Mickey Rourke is ashamed of and felt like a whore for doing is HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN, which was in 1991… so six years earlier than this 1997 movie which you figure as too early. But he got divorced from his first wife in 1989, so maybe that's who he was talking about? Anyway I just watched HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN and liked it so I don't think Mickey should be ashamed of that one.

I can't believe I didn't discuss the Coke machines in this review. That's always been one of my top 50 favorite things about this movie. Until the Transformers movie it was the most prominent placement of a vending machine in a movie (there's an explosion and the Coke machine protects them). I guess it tops Transformers's villainous Mountain Dew machine since it's a heroic Coke machine.

The race in Knock Off, where Rob Schneider's whipping a grinning-like-an-idiot Van Damme with an eel must be the single most crazy scene in any movie!
And the slow dripping coke-can-fingerprint-pusher… Such a strange movie. Do you think companies pay more for having their products portrayed in a particularly heroic light?
This movie does have some awesome product placement. In addition to the indestructible Coke vending machine that plays a key role in the climax of the film I also think Van Damme slips on a coke can during the shoot out at the carnival earlier in the movie.
Saw this as a great DTV as a kid…awesome. How sad is it that I found an electronic copy of this at work and literally was so fucking excited!

I can't believe I haven't seen this film 15 times!
this is the latest Nostalgia Critic's review http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/30656-double-tea
I was quite excited to see him review a movie Vern had already reviewed
I go back and forth on The AV Club. There's a lot of good writing on the site, but it tends to be a little too smug and misanthropic for me to fully embrace. But I guess I should mention they've just included DOUBLE TEAM in their "new cult cannon":
http://www.avclub.com/articles/double-team,55456/?utm_medium=promobar&utm_campaign=recirculation
I think it's a pretty good article, even though the writer just _has_ to show us he's so above all this JCVD stuff

A further example of outrageous product placement in this movie is the Omega watches on the colony that count down to when the agents will die if they don't return to their cottage in time. You wonder why Omega would want to heavily endorse their watches as death countdowns. Coke is tough and useful in the movie. Omega brings death. I'm now fearful of what will happen when my watch hits 12.
Fun movie though. And I loved Rodman's out of place references to his basketball defense and rebounding skills. Combined with his outfits and attitude, all the talk of him liking "defense over offense" have a homoerotic edge. Thankfully Mickey Rourke doesn't throw one of his many grenades up Rodman's backside, which would have really rammed the point home.

I'm not sure why, but I never saw this movie til now. In 97 I liked Van Damme, had seen at least one Tsui Hark movie (GREEN SNAKE) and thought it was weird and cool. Maybe it was that Dennis Rodman was overexposed at the time, but might be more likely none of my friends wanted to see it.
Anyway it was worth the wait. Truly a weird movie aimed only at the weirdest weirdos. Its like the movie wasn't even made, but somehow vomited up.
It aged to perfection I think. Everything about it screams 1997, from the color scheme to the canted angles to the everything but the kitchen sink genre blending. Loved the tiger and the coke machines!!!
While not my favorite JCVD movie, its maybe the most fun mess. Gotta see KNOCK OFF soon, and maybe throw in SIMON SEZ for good measure.
Oh, I saw HARLEY DAVISON AND THE MARLBURO MAN as well, and its not bad. Also saw it well after the fact (about a year ago) and it seemed to be a similarly f-ed up oddball movie. Like this one, its scewey take on the world might be better appreciated now than when it was new.
Tsui Hark is to me one of the greatest action directors with a very visual stylist sensibility, there are more incredible camera shots and cinematography in the first 10 mins of this film than in all of Hollywood that year.
Knock Off is a masterpiece in action filmmaking, he was doing all that camera zoom into things that Hollywood started copying a few years later!
Also the action choreography with Hark's direction in both films puts many to shame. I just wished he would come back to the West and do some hing fantastic with any of the MArvel, Fast and Furious or Star Warm films. He's incredible.

DOUBLE TEAM was good in parts but felt a bit sparse at the time. Like I spent the whole movie waiting for the movie to really get started. But it's nostalgic now and somehow you can't help but like it and remember it fondly. Even just the matter-of-fact way Dennis Rodman says "Cybermonks."
This might have been the movie where Mickey Rourke first started looking like the broken-down piece of meat he describes himself as in THE WRESTLER. At the time I didn't know he'd taken a break from acting to go into boxing, so I just thought Stavros must be dying.
HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN was great. I love that movie! Your money's on the dresser, Mickey.
KNOCK OFF—was that the exploding jeans movie? ISTR it felt joyless and forced, but that was a bad time in my life, so that might have been why.

Memo From Mexico: Moaning Mexicans Trying To Claim Orlando Victim Status, Exploit US Guilt
I write from Mexico, where my family and I are on our summer visit. The Orlando shooting has been widely reported here. The Mexican Main Stream Media (MMSM?) is working real hard to make the shooting a Latino, and even specifically Mexican, issue. It's an example of Mexico's profound selfishness—and of why America should ignore anything it says, above all on immigration.
Mexico's Excelsior newspaper/website has a section Masacre en Orlando ("Massacre in Orlando") where its many articles on the topic are archived. That means the story is approached from several different angles.
This being the MMSM, however, these different angles have to fit in with a generally Leftist, pro-Obama and pro-gay agenda.
Gun control, for example. Why is it so easy to get guns in the United States? This is a perennial topic in the MMSM.
After all, Mexico's stricter gun laws have been so successful in stopping gun violence here, right?
Anyway, since gun control is the default position, the sections contains articles with such titles as Es muy fácil comprar un arma en Estados Unidos ("It's very easy to buy a weapon in the United States"), Oprah Winfrey cuestiona la venta de armas de asalto ("Oprah Winfrey questions the sale of assault weapons"), and Republicanos en el Senado finalmente votarán sobre control de armas ("Republicans in the Senate finally will vote on control of weapons"). Then there's this article about UN criticism of U.S. gun laws which also says Mexican and Central American gun laws are too permissive. ["¿Cómo es posible que cualquiera pueda obtener un rifle?, tunde la ONU a EU" ("How is it possible that anyone can get a rifle ? says the UN to the US")]
Gay pop star Ricky Martin, born in Puerto Rico and thus a U.S. citizen, is popular in Mexico, so he's featured in two Excelsior articles: Ricky Martin: Soy gay y no tengo miedo ("Ricky Martin: I'm Gay and Unafraid") and Ricky Martin insta a reclamar un cambio en la ley de armas ("Ricky Martin insists on calling for a change in weapons laws").
Other Excelsior articles report about the wonderful things Obama is doing to help. Obama is well-thought of in Mexico and reported in a very positive fashion.
Four Mexicans died in the Orlando shooting. [Ellos eran los cuatro mexicanos muertos en bar gay de Orlando, Excelsior, June 17, 2016] The Mexican consulate in Orlando reported that one was an illegal alien. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto promised to help their families, declaring "words that sow hate, that are discriminatory, only provoke eventually violence". And he claimed that the Orlando shooting may have had its origin in "expressions of hate, of discrimination, of a phobia against certain persons and the only thing that it brought about was to generate violence…." [Matanza en EU toca a mexicanos; garantizan apoyo federal a familiares, By Enrique Sánchez and Iván E. Saldaña June 14, 2016]
I didn't notice Pena Nieto say anything about Islam.
His is the sort of analysis that lumps together opposition against gay marriage and shooting a hundred people as "homophobia." And, in fact, the Mexican President is now facing unexpected opposition to his attempt to enshrine same-sex marriage in the Mexican constitution (see my Same-Sex Marriage in Mexico may be Added to the Constitution, Mexidata, May 23, 2016). Just the other day, Pena Nieto's Interior Minister Osorio Chong (right) warned Catholic clergy not to "incite hate" by opposing same-sex marriage.
Then there's the "Anti-Latino" angle. The fact that most of the Orlando victims were Latinos—most of them in fact Puerto Ricans [ In the Dead in Orlando, Puerto Ricans Hear a Roll Call of Their Kin, by Lizette Alvarez And Nick Madigan, New York Times, June 14, 2016]—was initially underplayed by the U.S. Main Stream Media, obsessed as usual with the LGBT angle.
A June 13 article by Excelsior correspondent in London (!) Julio Alejandro, is headlined La masacre en Orlando ¿Crimen con sentimientos anti latinos y anti mexicanos? ("The Massacre in Orlando—A Crime with Anti-Latino and Anti-Mexican Feelings?"):
The murder of 50 persons in Pulse, three of them Mexicans [later found to be four] in the LGBT club in Orlando, Florida, was it a hate crime, influenced by anti-Latino or Anti-Mexican sentiments?
That's quite a claim—another example of how perceived victimization is the way to gain status in today's world.
Alejandro claims that, as of the afternoon of the 13th, 77% of the dead were of "Hispanic origin". So he asks, did Omar Mateen "have some form of dislike or resentment toward Latin Americans?"
Alejandro presents as a key piece of evidence that, according to Spain's El País, a witness to the massacre named Maribel Mejia said that that "…98% of the nearly 300 persons who were in the Pulse during the shooting were Latinos."
That might be true, although you can't always tell. After all, "Latinos" don't really constitute a race.
But if it is true, then the percentage of Latinos killed (77%) was lower than the percentage in the club (nearly 98%) which would seem to disprove this theory. But Alejandro presents it as a key piece of evidence!
Alejandro says that the club is really a "Latin Club", and photographs indicate that "African-Americans and Caucasians" tend to be a minority every night, and there are even fewer during a "Latin Night" as was the night of the massacre.
Alejandro points out that there are 41 LGBT nightspots in Orlando, so why did Mateen choose this one?
On the other hand, the club was located in Wadeview Park, 88% Anglo.
Mateen, Alejandro tells us, quoting the Daily Beast, lived in "an area with many Hispanic immigrants…but not a big community of Muslims or persons from the Middle East."
People who knew Mateen have described him as violent, unstable and abusive. But Alejandro says that "there are no articles that mentioned xenophobic, anti-Latino or anti-Mexican sentiments." It sounds as though Alejandro is disappointed. He laments of Mateen: "There is hatred and racism, but xenophobia has not been reported in more than 15 articles analyzed by Excelsior."
But there's surely something there, right? Alejandro reported that in Orlando there are "78,000 persons of Mexican origin, 44,000 born in the United States and 34,000 born in Mexico." A quarter of Orlando's population is some kind of Hispanic (half Puerto Rican, about a seventh Mexicans, with smaller amounts of Cubans, Colombians and Dominicans).
Alejandro reports that the attack was condemned by
"Casa Aztlan, LULAC, National Council of La Raza, and other clubs and federations of Mexican immigrants. "
In fact, Hector Sanchez (right) head of NHLA (the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda) proclaimed that "The worst of the suffering fell on the LGBTQ Latinos".
So does this mean that the Latinos shot by Mateen suffered more than the non-Latinos shot by Mateen?
It's like the famous apocryphal New York Times headline: "World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit".
But don't worry, Excelsior has plowed this ground before, and apparently without irony. Thus Julio Alejandro writes that
Excelsior has published on previous occasions how Anglo-Saxon media and journalists diminish the importance, history and culture of the Mexican and Latino communities in massacres and violent episodes.
What? Well, here's an example.
In the last big American shootout, the murder of 14 persons in the city-county of San Bernardino, California, carried out by another Muslim, Excélsior was the only media outlet that reported that this is the "county with the greatest number of Mexicans in all the United States … where approximately 42% of its 2,112,619 inhabitants are of Mexican origin" and emphasized it, contextualizing the consequences that the immigrant community had.
(In fact, while 42 percent of San Bernardino's population is of Mexican origin, only 21 percent of the dead—three out of fourteen—had Latino names. [San Bernardino shooting victims: Who they were, LA Times, December 17, 2015])
So Julio Alejandro, in Excelsior, a major Mexican newspaper, has made the Orlando shooting a story principally about the sufferings of Mexicans—as the paper had done previously about the San Bernardino shooting.
Mexicans are good at this. That's why, if they hear about Donald Trump, or anybody in the U.S., who wants to control our border or protect our people, then by the time it gets to the MMSM, it becomes a story about Mexicans and how they suffer.
That's why Julio Alejandro, studiously ignoring any Islamic motive for the shooting, goes on and on looking for a way to prove it was an anti-Latino massacre.
Yes, most of those killed were Latinos. But Alejandro fails to demonstrate that Omar Mateen's goal was to kill Latinos (and specifically Mexicans). Mateen's goal was to kill infidels, as defined by his Islamic ideology.
Although we're told that it's wrong to politicize a massacre—unless, of course, it offers a chance to demonize Southern whites—it's really impossible in this case not to. As Trump has pointed out, had Mateen's parents not been brought into this country, this particular massacre would not have taken place.
So how about learning from this massacre what we need to do to protect the American nation?

Doña Francisca Benicia Carrillo de Vallejo (1815-1891) was a Californio pioneer. A member of the Carrillo family of California, Carrillo was the wife of Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Carrillo was an early settler of Sonoma, California, the town founded by her husband. She survived the Bear Flag Rebellion and went on to oversee the Vallejo estate, Lachryma Montis, until her death in 1891. The city of Benicia, California is named after her.

Early life
Francisca Benicia Carrillo was born on August 23, 1815, in San Diego in Alta California to María Ygnacia López de Carrillo and Joaquin Victor Carrillo.

On January 24, 1830, Francisca Carrillo met a young soldier named Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo who arrived in San Diego in the wake of the Solis revolt. She was 15 and he was 23 years old. Vallejo courted Carrillo over the course of two weeks before leaving for Monterey. It would be over two years Carrillo would see Vallejo in person. The two kept in touch with letters. On October 15, Mariano sent a letter to Anastasio Bustamante, the President of Mexico, asking permission to marry Carrillo. In the letter, Vallejo confirmed that their parents gave permission for the couple to be married. It took two years for Bustamante to approve the couple's request. On March 6, 1832, Carrillo and Vallejo were married at the Presidio of San Diego. José María de Echeandía attended the wedding. Echeandía gave a toast at the reception, during which he said of Carrillo: "I have known his young wife since she was eight years old, and I have had repeated occasions to admire her fine manners."

Matriarch of the Vallejo family

Time in San Francisco
By February 1833, Vallejo was named Commander of the Presidio of San Francisco. During this time, Carrillo, pregnant with the couple's first child, journeyed 800 miles from San Diego to San Francisco to reside with Vallejo in the Presidio headquarters. She was accompanied by Vallejo's brother, Salvador Vallejo, and an escort of 20 soldiers. The trip took four weeks. Salvador would go on to marry Carrillo's sister, Maria de la Luz Carillo.

Andronico Vallejo was born on March 4, 1833. He died in September and was buried at Mission San Francisco de Asis. The couple would have a second child on April 28, 1834, also named Andronico. On May 1, 1834, Governor José Figueroa assigned Vallejo the task of establishing a fort in the area, north of San Francisco, that would eventually become Sonoma County. Vallejo went to Mission San Francisco Solano to create the fort, founding Sonoma, California. Carrillo remained in San Francisco, with her son, until the summer of 1835, when they moved to Sonoma.

Life in Sonoma

Early life in Sonoma

Carrillo had a third child with Vallejo shortly after arriving in Sonoma: a girl named Epifania Gertrudis, born on August 4, 1835. Carrillo would have a total of 16 children with Vallejo - 6 of whom died at birth or in childhood. The family lived in Casa Grande, a three-story home on the new Sonoma Plaza. The household was maintained by over twenty Native American servants, including one serving each of the children and two serving Carrillo. The Vallejo's also maintained a second home in neighboring Petaluma, the Rancho Petaluma Adobe.

Bear Flag Rebellion

Carrillo was at Casa Grande when the Bear Flag Rebellion happened in 1846, resulting in the capture of Sonoma by American immigrants for 25 days and the imprisonment of Jacob P. Leese and Vallejo. The rebels, nicknamed "Bears", placed the Bear Flag on the Sonoma Plaza, taking over the fledgling town.

During the rebellion, Carrillo's brother, Ramón, was accused of joining Juan Nepomuceno Padilla in killing two Bears, Thomas Cowie and George Fowler. Padilla and Ramón went to nearby Rancho Olompali to hide. Carrillo smuggled weapons to Ramón, Padilla, and her mother (who lived just north of Sonoma as owner of the rancho of Santa Rosa, California). The weapons included pistols, gun powder, flintlocks and sabers. They were delivered by an Indian servant named Gervasio. Ramón denied having anything to do with the death of the Americans and gave a sworn affidavit saying Padilla directed the killing of the men.

The U.S. Navy removed the Bear Flag on July 9, raising the twenty-seven star flag of the United States in its place. Carrillo celebrated the raising of the American flag, writing a letter to Vallejo, who remained imprisoned at Sutter's Fort. In the letter, she wrote that there were "great celebrations" and that she was "cheering heartily" and waving handkerchiefs. Carrillo celebrated at Casa Grande, hosting American servicemen. She also maintained a watchful eye over the new American flag, to ensure it remained in place. A soldier, who visited Casa Grande to celebrate, called Carrillo "very fat" and "having evidence of much beauty. She seems to be femininely passive and voluptuous, contented and happy."

In Sonoma, Carrillo's closest friend was Rosalía Leese, the sister of Vallejo and wife of Jacob Leese. Despite the removal of the Bear Flag and the end of the rebellion, Bear Flag rebels remained in Sonoma. Both Carrillo and Leese resented the fact that certain Bears, including William Ide and Robert B. Semple, continued to spend time in Sonoma so soon after the Navy quelled the takeover. In her letter to Vallejo, Carrillo calls the Bears "disconsolate." She lamented that if the United States Navy would have arrived sooner - in mid-June - the unnecessary deaths of numerous people, including Cowie and Fowler, would have never happened.

After the Revolt

In May 1847, Vallejo gave Semple and Thomas O. Larkin a five square mile land tract, which would become Benicia, California. Vallejo wanted to name the new city "Francisca." However, after Yerba Buena changed its name to San Francisco, they named the city "Benicia" to avoid confusion. After the naming, Carrillo was called Doña Benicia by Benicia residents.

The Vallejo's built Lachryma Montis in 1850, blocks from the Sonoma Plaza. The home would serve as the couple's final home until their deaths. It was at Lachryma Montis where Carrillo threw grand parties, including entertaining David Glasgow Farragut, William T. Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant and Edwin Bryant.

As the Vallejo's wealth diminished, in the 1860s they began growing and selling figs, apples and grapes, and raising chickens for eggs. Carrillo oversaw the distribution of produce and eggs to San Francisco and throughout Sonoma, selling at bakeries, restaurants and hotels. Carrillo, who used to have a large household of servants, also oversaw Lachryma Montis with little help. She managed the cleaning, gardening and other necessities, with two cooks operating the kitchen.

Carrillo and Vallejo's relationship was strained during this time due to finances and Vallejo's extended time away from Sonoma, often spent in Watsonville, California where he was involved with his nephew's rancho, Rancho Bolsa de San Cayetano. When he returned to Sonoma in 1869, his brother, Salvador Vallejo, moved in with the family at Lachryma Montis. This caused additional strain, as Carrillo was not fond of Salvador - he was abusive to and regularly cheated on his wife. Vallejo and Carrillo separated in the fall of 1869. Carrillo moved to Vallejo to live with her daughter Fannie. Vallejo stayed at Lachryma Montis. Carrillo returned to live with Vallejo in late 1870.

Later life and death

Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo died on January 18, 1890. Carrillo died at Lachryma Montis on January 30, 1891. She is buried, alongside Vallejo, at Sonoma's Mountain Cemetery.

Perceptions of Francisca Benicia Carrillo Vallejo

Edwin Bryant called Carrillo "a lady of charming personal appearance" who had "the highest degree that natural grace, ease, and warmth of manner." Her sons described her as "level-headed" and a supporter of women's rights. Historian Alan Rosenus described her as "a proud, somewhat conventional woman, conscious of her social standing." Carrillo was very religious and a believer in Catholic dogma. She was also sarcastic and very emotional, often writing blunt, sensitive, and emotive letters to Vallejo when he was not in Sonoma.

Carrillo liked luxury goods. She wore dresses and accessories made with expensive silks and velvet that were imported from France. When her daughter, Adela, was preparing to be married, Carrillo took her to San Francisco for several days. The two women spent $1,700 - over $51,000 in 2020 - shopping and staying at a luxury hotel.

Never would you imagine that in a shared world, all these wise and powerful guides to your adventure can one day come into the arena and shoot it up. Destiny is doing what Celebrity Deathmatch was doing when it was popular. Pitting popular franchise faces and getting them in a fight for domination. Never seen matchups that would make even the most hardcore fan drool. It begs to ask the question, who would in a fight? King Kong and Godzilla had been doing it for years and a movie was just released recently. A showdown of epic proportions, leaving onlookers in awe and wide-open mouths. Wide gaping and ready for the taking most players live for these moments. The question is who will you put your money on? And would Bungie let you control these non-playable characters and see if they are the stories that made them?
Bungie wants to keep things fresh for old players since most of the events have turned stale for veterans, to attract more players, it started developing more substantial drops and challenging raids without really feeling like a grind. The player versus player will solve the debate and settle it once and for all. The question is, would the abilities of these non-playable be something that a veteran would look forward to. Will Cayde-6 prove to be the badass that he is portrayed in the game trailers, fighting off enemies and leading the guardian offensive after everything was destroyed. Will the leaders of each faction hold up to their reputation as conquerors of planets? With high-tech weaponry and a never-ending supply of minions, this would make a fun and exciting event that players can look forward to. Trials of the Nine replaced the Trials of the Osiris, accessed through completing the main story campaign, defeating Lord Shaxx, and have a power level of 260. Another update that Bungie is looking into is the Iron Banner PvP mode. Challenging the player's abilities instead of their power levels, balancing was one major factor that the developers tried to investigate. With clamor for additional content and matchmaking, the developers would have their hands full, once the second half of 2021 rolls around.
The Future Looks Bright
They say too many cooks spoil the broth, but what is life without variety. Bungie had come across huge obstacles before the start of the year, with players exploiting the game's system. Developers wanted to put their foot down and make sure everyone enjoys the game and have it played like its supposed to. So, adding another feature like non-playable characters would be a fresh breath of air to clear out some of the smoke that was created by this debacle.
Whether you are privy or not about this development, it should get you excited. Getting a character with light levels beyond any other user or just adding more lore to the already rich compendium in Destiny 2 would add value to an otherwise great game already. Guardians would be called; heroes would be judged not by their defeats but their victories, sing them songs, and build them statues. Heed the call!

Two Key Cases the Supreme Court Will Hear in April
by Elizabeth Slattery
Conversations about the Supreme Court this spring have been dominated by discussion of conspiracy theories about Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's health, Democratic presidential hopefuls' plans to "pack the Supreme Court," and a manufactured "controversy" over Justice Brett Kavanaugh teaching at George Mason University's Scalia Law School.
But on Monday, the justices begin their final argument sitting of the term, with 13 oral arguments scheduled over the next two weeks. Here are two cases to watch this month.
1. Whether the Term 'FUCT' Can Be Trademarked
In Iancu v. Brunetti, the justices will look at whether a federal law called the Lanham Act that prohibits registration of "immoral" or "scandalous" trademarks by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office violates the First Amendment.
[ The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a solution. Find out more ]
If this sounds familiar, that's because the Supreme Court heard a similar case, Matal v. Tam, challenging the same law's prohibition on "offensive" trademarks in 2017. The justices unanimously ruled for the challengers, an Asian-American band called the Slants, with Justice Samuel Alito declaring that the ban on "offensive" trademarks "offend[ed] a bedrock First Amendment principle: Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend."
The case currently before the Supreme Court was brought by Erik Brunetti, who started a streetwear clothing brand that includes shirts and other items emblazoned with the term "FUCT" (which stands for "Friends U Can't Trust").
He applied for a trademark but the Patent Office denied his application because the term is "a phonetic twin" of and "past tense" of a vulgar word and is "therefore scandalous" in violation of the Lanham Act.
Brunetti appealed and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled in his favor, finding that the Lanham Act's prohibition on "immoral" or "scandalous" trademarks is unconstitutional. The three-judge panel explained that the First Amendment protects "even private expression which is offensive to a substantial composite of the general public."
The Supreme Court agreed to review the case, but it may be an uphill battle for the government in light of the trend of cases extending First Amendment protection for offensive or scandalous speech, such as burning crosses, animal "crush" videos, violent video games, lying about military honors, and the Westboro Baptist Church protesting military funerals, to name a few.
And anyone expecting to hear expletives fly during a Supreme Court oral argument may be disappointed: Brunetti promised in his brief, "It is not expected that it will be necessary to refer to vulgar terms during argument … "
The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Monday, April 15.
2. Census Citizenship Question
In Department of Commerce v. New York, the justices will consider the Trump administration's attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. census.
The Enumeration Clause, Article I, Section 2, of the Constitution gives Congress broad discretion to conduct the census, and Congress has delegated that authority to the secretary of Commerce to "obtain such … census information as necessary."
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross decided to reinstate a citizenship question on the 2020 census questionnaire—one that previously was asked "almost every decennial census" from 1820 to 1950.
Ross' decision was quickly challenged in district courts in New York, California, and Maryland. The Southern District of New York enjoined the Commerce Department from adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census, finding that reinstatement of the question would violate both the Administrative Procedure Act and the Enumeration Clause.
The federal government asked the Supreme Court to review the case, leapfrogging the appeals court, because census forms must be finalized and printed by June. In a rare move, the justices agreed to hear the case on an expedited basis without first allowing the appeals court to hear the appeal and issue an opinion.
The challengers argue that the inclusion of a citizenship question will stop millions of people from participating in the census for fear of what might happen if they answer candidly. Such fear, so the argument goes, will frustrate the purpose of the census and put people at risk of adverse immigration actions.
But federal law protects the confidentiality of census respondents and states that the secretary may not "disclose the information reported by, or on behalf of, any particular respondent."
The challengers also claim that inclusion of the citizenship question is "arbitrary and capricious," in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, because Ross' stated reasons were pretextual and masked other untoward purposes. In an otherwise low-profile Supreme Court term, this is one standout case that will likely garner a lot of media attention.
The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Tuesday, April 23.
These are just two of the important cases the Supreme Court will hear in the final weeks of oral argument for its 2018-2019 term. Once oral arguments wrap up, the justices will begin issuing opinions in all of the remaining cases—including ones with big implications for the administrative state, congressional redistricting, and accommodation of religion in the public square. The Supreme Court should issue these decisions and many more by the end of June.

Institute recommends minor boost in vitamin D, calcium intake
A new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has found that there is insufficient evidence to support major revisions in the dietary reference intakes for calcium and vitamin D.
National report - A new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) has found that there is insufficient evidence to support major revisions in the dietary reference intakes for calcium and vitamin D.
But a panel did recommend minor increases, and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says it may consider a similar modification of its own recommendations, in light of the report.
"At the end of our review we found that there was a strong body of evidence to support the role of both nutrients as causative agents in good health," says A. Catharine Ross, Ph.D., chairwoman of an IOM study group that reviewed health claims for the supplements.
The IOM - an independent, nonprofit organization that is the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences - issued its report on Nov. 30, about six months after the initial due date.
The report recommended boosting the daily intake of vitamin D for children and adults up to age 70 from the previous 200 or 400 IU a day to 600 IU a day, and for adults over age 70, to 800 IU a day.
Additionally, the IOM raised the Tolerable Upper Intake Level from 2,000 IU to 4,000 IU a day.
The daily recommendations for calcium are based on age, and range from 700 to 1,300 mg.
Speaking at a news conference, Dr. Ross, a professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa., said, "We could not find solid evidence that consuming more of either nutrient would protect the public from chronic diseases ranging from cancer to diabetes."
She acknowledged the challenge of factoring in skin synthesis of vitamin D via sun exposure. The report took a conservative approach, basing its recommendations "on the assumption of minimal sun exposure."
One significant difference is that earlier reports on calcium and vitamin D were based on "inadequate intake, and that is a different construct from either an estimated average requirement or a recommended dietary allowance" as used in the current report, Dr. Ross said. Exact comparisons cannot be made with past recommendations, she said.
Furthermore, the recommendations in the report are a threshold and do not necessarily represent optimum levels of each nutrient, nor do they take into account morbidities and therapies that might change the equation, she said.

Seattle students who are organizing a citywide rally in support of gun reform are not alone in their quest for change.
The Seattle Public Schools Board of Directors recently announced it will join in the local student-led "March for Our Lives" rally and walk this month in support of stricter gun laws. The announcement was part of a resolution, passed during a Feb. 28 work session, that calls tighter regulations on assault weapons and more prevention efforts to reduce gun violence.
March for Our Lives in Seattle is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 24, the same day related marches will take place in the nation's capital and other cities. Students from Seattle and Tacoma are leading the local March for Our Lives event, modeled after the main event planned in Washington, D.C. Local organizers will kick off the event with a rally in Cal Anderson Park and then march to Key Arena.
The march and the board's decision to participate followed the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed when a gunman opened fire Feb. 14.
Board members in their resolution make it clear they support "sensible gun safety legislation" and reject President Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association's idea to strengthen school security by arming teachers. The resolution further calls for increased funding for student-support programs, raising the age to purchase assault weapons to 21 and eliminating loopholes for private gun sales.
The district leaders encourage students and families to discuss the issues, their own beliefs and how they wish to get involved. They urge people to join in the March 24 rally as it falls outside of school hours and provides an opportunity for a large show of support.
In addition to March for Our Lives, many other events are planned for school days, such as walk-outs, which students across the country have engaged in since the Florida shooting. Nyland and Harris say while they respect the students' First Amendment rights to participate in such demonstrations, Seattle teachers will have to mark participating students with unexcused absences in accordance with state law.
The district leaders further encourage families to make sure students do not have access to guns at home or at friends' homes, to become familiar with warning signs for gun violence, to pay attention to students' social media activity and to report concerns to their school, the district Safe Schools Hotline at 206-252-0510 or 911 in emergency situations.
Students' recent efforts to raise awareness and spur action has stirred government at every level. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, for instance, has invited students, parents, teachers and health officials to a town hall meeting tonight from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on reducing gun violence in Seattle and nationally.
The meeting at Chief Sealth International High School Auditorium, 2600 SW Thistle St., is open to the public. People can also participate in the conversation by tweeting questions with the hashtag #SEAGunViolence.


This is the third article in a four-part series. In the previous article, I discussed the Chief of Staff's three essential responsibilities — Process, People, and Portfolio — and provided guidance on how to shape those responsibilities.
These performance requirements are intense, and the Chief of Staff role is particularly challenging as a result. Beyond these attributes, the Chief of Staff will have to navigate a handful of tricky potential pitfalls.
The Chief of Staff has conflicting clients. You are responsible to your manager. At the same time, like all leaders, you will learn things that you need to keep in confidence. The structure of the role lends itself to suspicion, and the Chief of Staff cannot be a spy. You have the ear of the CEO and can therefore have a disproportionate effect on someone's career. It is easy to lose trust, and a loss of trust is a problem that spreads quickly and is almost never recoverable. Each Chief of Staff and CEO will have to navigate these trust questions early on.
Contemporary corporate culture eschews authority as a primary means to achieve goals. However, authority is still present in any hierarchical organization, and the Chief of Staff's ambiguous authority can pose material challenges.
What kind of authority does the Chief of Staff have? If someone's manager is on a plane, and you ask them to do something that is both time-sensitive and disruptive to their other priorities, will they do it? Should they do it? Whose voice do you use: yours or the CEO's? Are you the principal or the agent?
Seniority and authority are often ambiguous, and perceptions may vary widely. My recommendation is to proactively establish the Chief of Staff as an independent role vs. an "assistant to" role. Your requests or opinions are yours unless you label them as the CEO's. You should avoid over-reliance on the CEO as a source of authority. People should work with you because of who you are and not because of some implicit threat that you will escalate to the CEO. However, the latter tool is useful if used rarely and strategically.
Since your title is ambiguous, you should also figure out how to introduce yourself internally and externally — e.g., "I'm the Chief of Staff, which means I work with [person/team] to do [thing]. Right now I'm focused on [portfolio project]." This might appear to be a minor point, but it's critical to proactively shape perceptions, and how you talk about what you do matters.
While organizational savvy is a common developmental focus for emerging leaders, it is particularly acute for Chiefs of Staff. In an individual contributor role, the primary measure of success is the content and outcomes of your work, which are usually in your control. In the Chief of Staff role, part of your ability to create impact comes from influencing others. Do not underestimate the importance of individual relationships, and consider developing your own toolkit to motivate, persuade, nudge, and align individuals and teams.
Courage is critical to performance in the Chief of Staff role. You will need to lay out expectations, give feedback, and have difficult conversations. Do you have the courage to talk to a senior executive when expectations are violated? Do you have the courage to tell a senior executive that his strategy doesn't make sense? Or that a direct report he thinks is great is widely viewed as underperforming?
You will also need to be comfortable providing senior executives with feedback in order to operate proficiently as a Chief of Staff. While most Chiefs of Staff struggle to give senior executives feedback, recognize that hearing feedback from you is less threatening than receiving feedback from C-suite colleagues. As long as you lead with EQ and make it clear that your goals are aligned, executives will generally appreciate it. I highly recommend Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability for further guidance on this topic.
Taking on an initiative in a new domain with unfamiliar content can be daunting. Chiefs of Staff fail when they become afraid of the content. The best Chiefs of Staff lean in, do their homework, and tap into both internal and external experts to ramp up quickly.
Any smart person can learn the content. Remember that in most organizations, as soon as people get good at their job, they are often promoted into new roles in which they are not fully competent. We're all figuring it out to some degree, so there's no reason the Chief of Staff role would be any different.
The diversity of content combined with the broad scope and responsibility can be overwhelming. In a single day, a Chief of Staff might handle topics that traverse a half-dozen departments, external partners, and sensitive internal issues — as large and abstract as long-term planning, to as small and as detailed as the seating arrangement at a board dinner. It is both difficult and completely necessary to figure out how to organize your portfolio, personal systems, and time to enable deep work on big projects while maintaining a diverse array of processes and attending to people matters. Individuals who cannot manage their time or who struggle with frequent context switching should not attempt Chief of Staff roles.
The Chief of Staff portfolio often starts out with consultative work. Transitioning to leading and owning a project or domain can be a difficult mindset shift, particularly for individuals with limited operating experience. Failure to make the transition often shows up as traditional leadership gaps — e.g., asking for too much detail, a lack of a strategic vision, a reliance on others for critical thinking, or getting stuck in too much analysis. However, these gaps can be easy to miss at first. Chiefs of Staff need to recognize what role they are playing across their portfolio and ensure they aren't consulting when they need to be leading.
As Chief of Staff, you will make mistakes in front of the most senior people in your organization, which presents a fantastic opportunity for feedback. However, since you might work with many individuals in a limited capacity, it can sometimes be difficult to get enough data points to elicit meaningful feedback from multiple executives. In addition, if the Chief of Staff role is scoped poorly, the functions of the role will limit feedback. For example, it will be hard to get meaningful feedback on your strategic thinking skills if you spend 50% of your time setting up meetings. Partnering with executives on your portfolio project can help set yourself up to receive valuable developmental feedback.
Despite its potential pitfalls, the Chief of Staff role can be incredibly rewarding. I explain how to make the role work for your career in the final article in this series.
