Why Leaders in Liberia?
October 31, 2016 damon
A 10 minute read……
This is the background which ultimately lead to the Leaders in Liberia programme.
It starts with an inspiring man and a call to support him in serving the children of Liberia.
His name is Emmanuel Wragboe.
Emmanuel Wragboe
I met Emmanuel when visiting Liberia in May 2014 with an international group of coaches. We were visiting the country to run an education programme for 300 + teachers, to distribute filtration systems to remote villages with no access to clean drinkable water and to complete a school building project that had been started by my dear friends Spryte Loriano and Robert Evans.
As part of our trip we visited the Youth Action International centre in Grand Bassa, which offers computing courses for young people in rural Liberia. We had a fantastic morning running self-empowerment workshops for a number of the students. The sessions took place outside in the village and so while we taught the rest of the community stood around us in a big circle and observed our interactions. It was amazing for us to teach these young people and share in their dreams and it's also where I met Mekie, a young girl who wants to become a medical doctor so she can serve her people – but more about her later.
At the time, Emmanuel was employed by Youth Action International. YAI is an organisation set up by Kimmie Weeks who, as a fifteen year old in the height of the civil war, brokered agreements with the warring factions to bring end to the use of child soldiers. YAI's mission is to provide education, healthcare and economic empowerment for children and young people living in post-war African countries and Emmanuel was the liaison officer for Bassa County and was assisting us in organising the workshops and in distributing the clean water filters to remote villages.
The computing programme itself came about because of Emmanuel's spirited belief in the importance of education in re-establishing Liberia. He had been so inspired after hearing Kimmie speak passionately about the youth at an Independence Day celebration in 2008 that he approached him asked him to open a free computing school so the youth of the county could learn valuable computing skills. Kimmie accepted his request and a few months later he came back with the computers and a delegation of 15 messengers lead by Spryte Loriano.
Kimmie recognised Emmanuel's commitment and asked him to apply for the post of Liaison Officer for the county, a role he held from 2008 until 2015, when the centre was forced to close in the midst of the Ebola crisis and he lost his job.
In the time the centre was operational, over 500 students graduated from the free computer programs and most of these started working with banking institutions, NGOs and many other local businesses. Later they introduced a Women's Empowerment Program where they taught hairdressing, tailoring and other courses. Over 200 women graduated from this programme and many of these women are now operating their own businesses. Emmanuel has been at the heart of all this important work.
I came home from Liberia shortly before the Ebola epidemic in may 2014. I had been due to return there again in 2015 but it was obviously not possible. I can't imagine the horror of being there while this devastating disease was rampant. Not only were so many people dying from the horrific symptoms, but all public meetings were suspended, schools closed and people in their thousands lost their jobs and income. Food was scarce so prices rose, while the money people had to spend ran out and so hunger and other disease became prevalent. It must have been for many like returning to the dreadful days of civil war.
Rafael Bejarano
I tried to keep in touch with some of the people I had connected with via the Internet and mobile phone. My daughter even became pen-friends with three girls from the More Than Me Academy in Monrovia. I, along with several of my colleagues, sent the occasional gift of money, and some of our group lead by the example of David Taylor and Rafael Bejarano even started to fund orphanages, which was the only way they kept them going through the crisis.
So what of Emmanuel? We kept in-touch. He sadly lost his job at YAI when it was forced to close and he was struggling to feed his wife and 5 children, surviving with what little money he received from his supporters abroad. However, what really stands out for me about Emmanuel is that his honesty, his passion for education and his humanity have never diminished, despite the obvious hardships he has faced.
He continues to support 2 orphanages that were set up for children whose parents died from Ebola and he recently helped me to connect with the young student called Mekie I mentioned earlier, who I had met while delivering the workshops at the computing centre and helped me in sponsoring her schooling so she can graduate and fulfil her dream of becoming a nurse.
Getting the money to her was tricky. Few organisations in Liberia have access to banking as we in the UK would understand it and so I arranged to send the money electronically to a local Western Union office. Emmanuel went to pick it up and took it to the girl's school where he met with her and paid her school fees for the year. He then sent me a photograph of the receipt and another of Mekie holding it to reassure me everything was above board, he even offered to send me updates on her progress each term.
I had included some additional money for food and clothes for the children at the orphanages and he sent me some photographs of them standing by sacks of rice and parcels of clothes to show me where my money was being spent.
I was grateful for this. I have to be honest – I did have moments of doubt about whose pocket my money would end up in. But I decided to trust, to believe in the power of integrity and the knowledge that we are all aspects of the same consciousness. These are my values and so I sent the money in this spirit and I was not disappointed. Here is a man who had his hands on over $200 dollars cash and has a hungry family to feed and yet he took nothing for himself above his own expenses.
Shortly afterwards he did send me a request not to forget about his personal needs. I respected this request – He had helped meet the needs of others but he must still provide for his own family. But I am a coach – I draw an important distinction between helping and serving; in my view, simply giving money creates imbalance and adds to the cycle of poverty. I wrote back saying that just sending money is not the answer and I was looking for a more sustainable solution. He replied: "Good! I see u as a very wise man and believe in teaching one to fish for themselves".
Not THE motorbike, but it is me on a motorbike whilst in Liberia 2014!
He went on to tell me about his business plan. He wanted a 1000 US dollar loan to buy a motorbike which he can use as a taxi and transportation service. He had calculated how much he can earn, how much he needed to feed his family and how much he can reinvest each month so he can then buy a second motorbike and be able to employ someone.
This is when I decided to set up a fund. We raised $2,400 so he can start his own business, so he can feed his family and contribute to the local economy. We raised double our target so we bought a second bike and to employed someone who is also able to feed their family – and it provides an income for the orphanages.
Unfortunately, these bikes no longer operate – one was stolen and the other was involved in an accident. Emmanuel and I spend some time reflecting on the what could be learned from this. It was a great lesson.
Young girls learning at More Than Me School
But the story does not end there.
Being a coach, I asked Emmanuel what his biggest dream was and he shared this incredible plan with me: "I have passion for education for which I did education administration in college. I plan to partner with any well meaning humanitarian to build this school.
This school will purposely be for nursery. Bassa doesn't have such school. In my plan, I need buses that will take the kids to school and also instructors. It is a day care school and all what is needed for the kids should be there. Beneficiary of this school should include the orphans, less fortunate and others." The size of this vision really inspired me. He has started working with an engineer to realise this dream but with no idea how to move towards it beyond the power of the vision itself.
And this is when my dream was also born – I too decided I would love to partner with other well-meaning humanitarians in building this school with Emmanuel. This is such a powerful vision – Education is the key to Liberia getting itself back on its feet – this is the proverbial "teaching one to fish for themselves", that Emmanuel quoted.
I am totally committed to seeing this project succeed – I do not know how and simply writing this intention makes me feel slightly sick and like withdrawing from the commitment immediately. But my experience is that is how all great projects are born, and it is about something greater than me.
So the group that I am taking to Liberia for 10 days in late February 2017 will be the leadership team – a group of leaders who share a vision of making a difference and are committed to making it happen.
We will be coming to Liberia to experience the beauty of the country and the warmth and vibrancy of its people, and most importantly we will be coming to serve in the ways that are of most use to the people we meet. We are creating opportunities to meet with local entrepreneurs and offer them our love and support in becoming better able to meet their own needs. We will visit schools and run workshops for the students and teachers. We will also be visiting Emmanuel and his community and we will speak to the children and parents of the village and learn how the school will change their lives for the better. We are going to create connections, inspire and be inspired – the leadership team will leave Liberia having experienced the trip of a lifetime and their legacy will continue.

Cold-lagered and cold-filtered, Coors Light is best when it's icy cold like the Rockie Mountains from where it gets its water. A combination of lager malt, high country barley, and four different hops, Coors Light is even packaged cold, giving it that extra-crisp and refreshing taste.
When birthdays and holidays roll around, it's easy to know what to get a woman—a bouquet of flowers usually does the trick (as long as they're the kind she likes). But what should you send a guy? The answer is so simple and obvious—an ice cold bucket of beer, of course! Our Bucket of Beer is made for guy who likes to drink, likes to party, and likes to be surprised. And we know this Coors Light gift basket will do just that.
Want to Really Impress Him? Ship It Cold.
Coors Light gifts are great no matter how you give them. But if you really want to impress him, ship it cold. That feeling of instant gratification just makes this gift that much better. And just because we always outdo ourselves, we've included a bag of popcorn, a bar key bottle opener, a beer koozie, and a pint glass in case he's feeling fancy and doesn't want to drink straight from the bottle. The beer is obviously the star of this show, but we think he'll be pretty stoked with the reusable metal pail too. Trust us, that pail always comes in handy at tailgating parties, pool parties, and backyard barbecues.
If he's not a fan of Coors Light, don't worry—this BroBasket can be fully customized to include a variety of other beers. From Stella Artois to Blue Moon to Guinness, we've got more than a dozen beer alternatives you can put into this bucket gift. You can also add in an extra glass, some of our awesome BroBasket gear, an array of sweet and salty snacks, and other enhancements like cigars or playing cards. Whatever he's into, it's safe to say you're setting the standard by which he'll judge all other gifts. Good thing you thought of it first.
He was surprised and had never had a cold case of beer delivered like this.
I recently ordered a basket for a friend. The website didn't offer the beer I was looking for but after contacting customer service, they let me know to just note the beer wanted and they would use that instead. The basket came with the requested beer and it was beautifully wrapped. It made my friends day in a time that he really needed it. Couldn't recommend their service more!
Surprisingly awesome gift for a reliably awesome guy!
Yes! I sent this to a fantastic surgeon and friend to thank him for excellent professional services. Upon receipt, he called and said, "only you [would find a gift like this]." To which I replied, "I know! It's a BroBasket, man!" We laughed and he thanked me again. Thanks BroBasket!

About the Honoree
At approximately 10:30am on Friday, October 24, 2014, Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver and his partner were investigating a suspicious occupied vehicle around the 2000 block of Arden Way when he was shot and killed by one of the occupants. Deputy Oliver's partner returned fire as the occupants fled to a nearby neighborhood. There the suspects – a man and a woman – attempted to carjack a vehicle whose driver resisted and was shot multiple times by the male suspect. The victim was listed in serious condition as of Friday night. The suspects fled that parking lot into a nearby neighborhood where they carjacked another vehicle, then fled a few blocks away where they encountered a gardener working on a home. The suspects took the gardener's truck and fled to a Carmichael neighborhood where they were spotted changing their clothes by a county park ranger. Before officers could arrive, the suspects fled east on Interstate 80, exiting at the city of Auburn. As the suspects were pulled over to the side of the road they were spotted by two Placer County Sheriff's Deputies. As the deputies approached the vehicle they were immediately met with gunfire from an AR-15 rifle, striking both deputies. Both were transported to Sutter Roseville Medical Center, where Deputy Jeff Davis was treated and released. His partner, Investigator Michael Davis, Jr., did not survive his injuries.
The female suspect, identified as Jannelle Monroy, 38, was taken into custody at an Auburn city park. The male suspect, 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez (aka: Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte) fled into a residential area near Placer High School, forcing that school and others to lock down their campuses. The manhunt concluded at approximately 4:00pm when Marquez was taken into custody after deputies converged on a home on Belmont Street in Auburn, where he was holed up.
Deputy Danny Oliver, age 47 and a 15 year veteran, had been assigned to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Problem Oriented Policing Unit. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Studies estimate 70-80% T Cells responses fight against Omicron
An unsung arm of the immune system appears to protect against severe disease with the omicron variant even when antibodies wane, helping to explain why a record wave of infections hasn't engulfed hospitals so far. T cells, the body's weapon against virus-infected cells, were primed enough by vaccination that they defended against omicron in separate studies from Erasmus University in the Netherlands and the University of Cape Town in South Africa. The findings could help explain why the wave of omicron cases hasn't so far caused a surge in mortality from South Africa to the U.S. and the U.K. Unlike antibodies, T cells can target the whole of the virus's spike protein, which remains largely similar even in the highly mutated omicron. The Dutch researchers looked at 60 vaccinated health-care workers and found that while their antibody responses to omicron were lower or nonexistent compared with the beta and delta variants, T cell responses were largely unaltered, "potentially balancing the lack of neutralizing antibodies in preventing or limiting severe Covid-19." The study from the University of Cape Town's Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine looked at patients who had recovered from Covid or been vaccinated with shots from Pfizer Inc. and partner BioNTech SE or Johnson & Johnson. They found that 70% to 80% of the T cell responses they assessed held up against omicron. Recent weeks have brought evidence that the new strain can erode vaccine protection, prompting governments to push for booster shots to raise the level of antibodies that can fight off the variant. But immune protection has several layers. While antibodies block infection, T cells kill infected cells, preventing the virus from spreading and causing worse disease, Wendy Burgens, one of the University of Cape Town study authors, wrote on her Twitter account Virus Monologues. "They can't prevent you from getting infected, but they can minimize the damage that comes afterwards," she said. This is a modal window. Beginning of dialog window. Escape will cancel and close the window. End of dialog window. This is a modal window. This modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. T cells are white blood cells that can remember past diseases, kill virus-infected cells and rouse antibodies to marshal defenses. People infected with another coronavirus that was responsible for the SARS outbreak in 2003, for example, were found to still have a T-cell response to the disease 17 years later. .

Q: IE 10 cuts off text in text box after 100 px I have text boxes that specify with inline CSS that their width should be 200px
<input type="text" name="xxx" value="yyy" style="width: 200px;" />

IE 10 presents them as below (highlighted where text is cut off)

As soon as that textbox receives focus, all the text becomes visible (and then after it has lost focus again, the text remains visible)
Anybody have the same problem and manage to fix this?

A: I'm 99% sure this has something to do with the "clear button" in ie10.
When a textbox gets focus in ie10 a little "x" appears on the right side that allows you to clear the text.
You can remove the x by adding this to the stylesheet
::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}

Chances are there is something messing with the style of the clear button.  I would suggest adding the style I pasted above and see if that fixes your issue.
Here's a fiddle that kinda replicates your issue (with bad css)
http://jsfiddle.net/qDTWw/3/
Here's a fiddle with the fix
http://jsfiddle.net/qDTWw/4/

A: I am getting the same in a password box in ie10
This workaround seems to work for me ...
$('.password').blur(function () {
    //work around for ie10 clipping text
    $(this).val($(this).val());
});

A: *This isn't a true "answer", because I haven't solved it, but am posting here with additional information that won't fit into a comment very well. I have this same problem, and am hoping this helps someone else figure it out.
This jsfiddle is one way to reproduce the problem:
http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/2NGEQ/2/
Apparently, this was reported to Microsoft:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/767602/input-text-boxes-clipped-when-a-font-size-is-applied-to-a-parent-element#details
There is a reference to a reply from someone at Microsoft here:
http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/8677
From Tony Ross (Microsoft):
    Unfortunately I don't think this will make our bar for a patch update since the issue automatically resolves itself when the user interacts with the control, but I'll definitely make sure it stays on our radar for the next release.
    As for code-based workarounds, there are various ways you can poke the input element itself to get it to it to update if you so desire (updating the value, changing the width of the element inline, assigning the width inline to begin with, etc).....
Posting code from jsfiddle because I have to:

Lovable Losers: The Baseball Edition
Are you a heart-broken baseball fan? Has your favorite ballclub been eliminated from the playoffs? Well only one team a year that can win a championship. Sometimes it doesn't seem fair– especially when a team is thoroughly fun and the brand of ball is oh-so-entertaining. Entertaining doesn't always win championships or bring accolades, but cult followings have started on far worse premises than entertainment–just ask Jim Jones. Here are five of my favorite post season "losers" from the past 3 decades of playoffs.
2010-2011 Texas Rangers
This was a particularly cruel era for Rangers fans. Front office guru and Texas legend Nolan Ryan put together a squad that was exciting and talented enough to make their first trip to the World Series in franchise history.
The 2010 season was a bit of a novelty because it was the first time in a long time Rangers fans had something to cheer about. Most were glad to finally be out of the Tom Hicks, "bad contracts to sullen players"era (they were floating the Yankees on a good chunk of Alex Rodriguez's salary for years after he was traded). Players like Vlad Guerrero and Cliff Lee join Josh Hamilton gave Texas some nationally recognized star power.
It looked like they would give the San Francisco Giants a run for their money after disposing of the Yankees and Devil Rays, but Tim Lincecum and that vaunted pitching staff took care of the Rangers in five games. Fans were just happy that they made it so far, and the season was considered a success.
The 2011 Rangers team picked up where last season left off, winning the West with a 96-66 record. Though one of the best offenses in the majors, their pitching staff lacked consistency, as their best pitcher at the time was C.J. Wilson. This didn't keep them from beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Detroit Tigers on their way to the World Series, and getting to within one strike of a World Series title. Although Nelson Cruz gets scapegoated for the play that effectively cost the Rangers the season, the truth is they wouldn't have gotten that far without Nelson Cruz's offensive production–that was his only real gaffe during that run–albeit his biggest (one wonders why Cruz was in the game at that point anyway. Despite Cruz's strong-arm, Manager Ron Washington could have put in a defensive replacement for the bottom of the 9th inning).
Everyone knows what happened in extra innings, setting up one of the biggest sports letdowns for a fan base since the 1986 World Series. It took me almost a week to tear down the protective plastic I'd hung up in my apartment for the post game celebration I'd had planned. A case of Budweiser went unopened–not for drinking, but for spraying around my living room (In case you're wondering, yes I planned to throw and attend that party alone).
1993-94 Philadelphia Phillies
Although not the prettiest of baseball teams (stylistically or physically), the 1993 Phillies were an entertaining bunch. Lenny Dykstra was the type of player I'd envisioned myself as. Scrappy, down and dirty,and often overlooked, but he did whatever it took to win.
Dykstra had 6 HR's and 10 RBI as a lead-off hitter and would have been the World Series MVP had they somehow managed to win. He wasn't the fastest, nor the strongest, but whenever a big play was needed, "Nails" made it happen.
John Kruk was also easy to love. He was a fantastic contact hitter, who barreled around the bases in his big and burly frame. Darren Daulton and Dave Hollins were big hitters, and with a platoon of players to insert around them (including former Ranger great Pete Incaviglia) they could score runs in bunches.
Their patchwork pitching staff often let them down as 14 runs were sometimes not enough to guarantee a win. Left hander Terry Mulholland was their most consistent pitcher, and this was the post-season where Curt Schilling started making a name for himself as a clutch pitcher; delivering goose eggs in the biggest moments of both the LCS and World Series.
The Phillies' run inevitably ended when Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams came in to pitch with a 6-5 lead after a big 7th inning( sparked by yet another Dykstra home run)–setting up this World Series moment that would be the backbone to an Adam Sandler movie and a hip-hop diss record.
1991 Atlanta Braves
Before the general public turned on the Braves organization from overexposure, Atlanta had a very likable roster. Their worst to first back story was a charming change of pace for the baseball media, and even non baseball fans got infected with "Tomahawk Chop" fever (my own mother always greeted each David Justice at bat with an exclamation of "cutie pie" to no one in particular).
After they dispatched the Los Angeles Dodgers (next to last day of the regular season) and Pittsburgh Pirates to emerge as National League champions, the Braves continued to amaze with their timely hitting and rotation of young pitchers. Steve Avery, John Smoltz, and Tommy Glavine would become household names after this season, and young guys like Ron Gant, Deion Sanders (yes that one) and vets like Otis Nixon and Terry Pendleton made them a good team, but not too good to the point of being annoying.
As destiny would have it, the Braves would match up against another worst to first team, the Minnesota Twins. If Atlanta was one of the more lovable baseball teams of all time, then the Twins were one of the easiest teams to hate of all time. Put aside the off the field stuff written about Jack Morris and Kirby Puckett, and you still had villains like Chuck Knoblauch and Kent Hrbek. Plus, I hated Danny Gladden's mullet, and Mike Pagliarulo's mustache made him look like a dirty cop from an episode of Hill Street Blues.
Even though game 7 of that series will go down as one of the best World Series games of all time, in one of the greatest World Series of all time, I will always remember the unsettled feeling I had going to bed after the final run was tallied and the game ended. Lonnie Smith going for the Okie Doke was the difference maker, and Jack Morris was as clutch as clutch can be; pitching 10 scoreless innings of ball. In all honesty, the Braves just didn't have the horses to win it all.
Kirby Puckett was transcendent and his game 6 heroics set up the most memorable World Series moment of my lifetime. One last bit of trivia that will forever be null and void is Braves' 2nd baseman Mark Lemke's World Series leading .720 batting avg. that had almost guaranteed him a vote or two for MVP had Atlanta won. Of course, the Braves would finally get their title in 1995, after beating Cleveland, but that '95 team was supposed to win. They had Fred McGriff and Greg Maddux, and had a stacked lineup. It was much harder to be happy for that squad.
1990-1992 Pittsburgh Pirates
The first MLB game I ever attended in person was a Pirates vs. Astros game at the Astrodome. When I first started collecting baseball cards, Bobby Bonilla (I would pronounce it so that it rhymed with Vanilla) was one of the first in my collection. The Pirates outfield of Andy Van Slyke, Barry Bonds, and Bobby Bonilla was my favorite in this era of baseball, and I thought Doug Drabek (from Victoria,Texas) had cool looking hair because they were silver streaked.
The light hitting, but sure fielding double play combo of Jose Lind and Jay Bell (who nearly always led the league in sacrifice bunts) were steady and dependable. The Pirates were a good fundamental team with a likable manager in Jim Leyland, and I had not problem at all rooting for them when they came to town to face the Astros (mockingly called the "Disastros" or"the Lastros" depending on where they were in the standings).
The year that the Texas Rangers let Steve Buechele go to make room for Dean Palmer, I was happy for both Buechelle and Pittsburgh, and part of me wanted to see the Pirates make the World Series for Ranger fandom alone. It almost happened too. After losing to the eventual champion Cincinnati Reds in 1990, then again to the Atlanta Braves, the Pirates were one out away from finally getting out of the NLCS. Then this happened. Although Yankees fans will disagree, I still to this day can't think of a better ending to an LCS elimination game.
1999-2000 New York Mets
Though this wasn't the Mets teams of 80's folklore (Doc Gooden, Daryl Strawberry, and David Cone were long gone), this new Mets team was a fun bunch to watch. The strength of this squad was their Gold Glove winning infield with 3B Robin Ventura (yes THAT Robin Ventura), SS Rey Ordonez, 2B Edgardo Alfonso, and sweet swinging, sure handed John Olerud. Bobby Valentine had a couple of throwback names in his outfield platoon with Rickey (the GOAT) Henderson, and Shawon Dunston.
Their pitching staff was hit or miss. Orel Hershiser and Al Leiter, their aces, both had an ERA well into the mid 4's, and their best 2 relievers were lefthanders Dennis Cook (former UT Longhorn great) and John Franco. Mets fans got a little dose of what past and future franchises would endure with high stakes appearances by Kenny Rogers and Armando Benitez; both of whom are legitimate red flags that you have a suspect pitching staff.
For every exciting grand slam single the Mets produced, there was Kenny Rogers giving up a frustrating game ending (and series ending) walk, or Mike Piazza letting opposing pitchers punk him get into his head.
History is not kind to losers. At best, one gets a footnote in some book somewhere detailing one's valor in the face of defeat. If a fanbase is lucky, those losses are assuaged by a win the following year (with luck, it may even be against the previous year's opponents) . These wins have a way of negating that empty feeling one gets when they realize they care way too much about the success and failure of millionaires playing a kid's game. I'd personally rather root for players like Ozzie Smith and Robin Yount than cheaters like Alex Rodriguez and Kent Hrbek.
I mean sure the latter two won championships with their respective teams, but both are renowned cheaters. I bet you that if either Hrbek or A-Rod were invited over to a teammates' house for dinner, that their wives were counting silverware the minute the guests were out the door. Hopefully this post helps to reposition the perspective that these are only games, and that winning and losing is less important than playing the game with enthusiasm and integrity. This is the core of being a fan of your favorite teams. You want your team to play hard, and do their best, but win or lose, there is always the possibilities that come with the next season.

Loosely Connected Thoughts From This Past Weekends' Baseball Games
Some of you may have noticed that there was no ALCS ADHD Playoff Preview this past weekend on Fullsass.com. It is not because I think American League ball is inferior (even though I do), and it is not because I think that Cleveland is racist for their dismissive attitude in demeaning depictions of Indigenous Peoples (although I do).
We had a post lined up, but we experienced some site difficulties and the series was already 2-0, in favor of Cleveland by the time we got things right (as of 1:30 pm today, Cleveland is up 3-0 and have yet another game in an hour and a half). For what it is worth, I had Cleveland winning in 7 games, but that is a moot point, because that organization is wack, and their fans are wack for perpetuating something so blatantly disrespectful as Chief Wahoo.
Anyway, here are some thoughts that I had over the weekend while watching America's favorite past time:
A Cleveland-Chicago World Series would be a great storyline for both franchises and the MLB as a whole; all but guaranteeing that one city's team would be breaking a curse that has spanned multiple decades and generations of fanbases. That alone could carry the World Series, and it would matter little how competitive the games were.
This is not the Cito Gaston/Pat Gillick lovable 90's Blue Jays we're seeing right now. Eff these Jays, and eff their Drake and Danny Gladden look-alikes. It is too bad I don't watch much A.L. ball (outside of the Rangers) because I feel like I should be enjoying this Toronto beat down more. I miss the Devon White, Joe Carter, John Olerud, Juan Guzman, David Cone, Roberto Alomar, Jack Morris, Dave Stewart, Dave Winfield led squads. NOW THOSE GUYS WERE FUN TO WATCH PLAY BASEBALL!!!!
How am I just now finding out that Eddie Vedder is a Cubs fan? How did he avoid being a fan of the number of teams strung along the west coast that were winning when he was a child? I can see why Mariners fever somehow missed him, but Oakland was a good franchise up until the mid 90's, and the Dodgers were easy to like back in the day. I wonder if Eddie was like the rest of us during summer vacation, watching Harry Caray on WGN, doing the play-by-play for those Ryne Sandberg, Shawon Dunston, Andre Dawson, and Mark Grace teams. I actually always liked the Cubs. It is Cubs fans that make you want to root against them. I've been to quite a few baseball stadiums in the 25 years I've been a baseball fan, and Chicago Cubs fans are some of the least knowledgeable, frontrunning fans north of Cowboys stadium. I've been to Wrigley Field, and although the field is nice, the fans make you want to avoid any establishment that serves Budweiser products for the rest of your life.
National League baseball is incredible to watch during the month of October. Those formative years I spent living in Houston molded my love for the game. As much as I loved watching the Rangers with my grandmother, I never found A.L. games as stimulating as I did watching those late 80's early 90's Dodgers,Giants,Cubs, and Mets play. I still get giddy whenever I see a pitcher hit a homerun. I think the reason Joe Maddon was underrated all those years in the American League (other than coaching for Tampa Bay) is that he wasn't able to utilize the full extent of his baseball genius. Those wacky moves he pulled at Tropicana Field (how do they still have a team down there again?) don't seem so crazy now that he has to master using that number 9 spot in the lineup. Seriously, the difference between the two leagues is like checkers vs. chess. I'm happy to see Maddon get his due finally. I think he is the best manager in the game right now.
Lastly, as much shit as I've talked about Cubs fans, I have to say the playoff games at Wrigley have been electric. I could feel the energy from the crowd when Miguel Montero came out for his curtain call after that 8th inning grand slam. It gave me chills. This is what postseason baseball is all about. Well that and this here.
Enjoy the rest of the LCS series.

No doubt about it: Sharon Puryear was nervous. Here she was, as a finalist at the New Jersey Entrepreneur of the Year banquet, surrounded by fine food, well-wishers, and good conversation. There was just one problem: she couldn't relax enough to enjoy any of it. "My stomach was in knots," she recalls.
Puryear had put a lot of work into preparing for this June evening. It had all started early in the year, when a fellow member of the New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners wanted to nominate her for the Entrepreneur of the Year award, sponsored each year by Inc., Ernst & Young, and Merrill Lynch. Puryear thought, Why not? She was happy to tell the story of how she and her husband, James, had built their trucking business, Western Industries Inc., in South Kearny, N.J. So Puryear's associate got her a copy of the four-page Entrepreneur of the Year nomination form, and Puryear set to work.
It wasn't easy. The nomination form called for everything from a description of the business to financials to a personal biography. And although Puryear loves the details of her business, she wasn't used to writing about them. As the deadline approached, it took a reminding phone call from a New Jersey Ernst & Young office to get her to finish up. "Thank God for Fed Ex!" she says.
Then came the on-site interview. When the Ernst & Young and Merrill Lynch executives showed up to visit Western Industries, they had plenty of hard questions about Puryear's long-term plans and goals -- questions that, in the rush of day-to-day business, she hadn't given as much attention to as she'd have liked. "I really thought that I blew the whole thing."
The interviewers thought otherwise. They recommended her highly to the judging panel, a group of eight local business leaders. (Though close to 90 companies had applied to the New Jersey Entrepreneur of the Year program, only about 30 would become finalists, and only 11 of those would become winners in various categories.) Before the New Jersey judges met in May, they had received pounds of information on the strongest candidates. They spent an entire morning choosing the finalists and winners. One of those winners was Puryear -- who became New Jersey's 1992 Woman Entrepreneur of the Year.
After her name was announced at the banquet and Puryear went up to receive applause, congratulations, and her award, somehow all that nervousness didn't matter so much. "I was elated," she says. "I had never really won anything before."
Even before people like Puryear knew they had won, the local Ernst & Young offices had forwarded the 333 regional winners' nomination packages to our Boston office. Each writer and editor received a share of nomination forms to review, and each had to make a case for the strongest candidates to a team of editors. That group then had the difficult task of choosing 19 finalists to present to the national judging panel.
And what a panel it was: one prominent venture capitalist and six well-known entrepreneurs. All gathered around a table at the Boston Harbor Hotel armed with notes, arguments, and stacks of nomination materials to support their choices. Debates flared up at each stage of the judging: How much weight should be given to profit margins alone? Did we want to give an award to a company that does all its manufacturing outside the United States? What makes a company socially responsible? And how much should the growth -- or lack of growth -- in an industry affect the way we see a company's performance? After a morning of lively discussion, the judges finally selected the 1992 Entrepreneur of the Year, as well as winners in the Master, Emerging, Turnaround, Supporter, and Socially Responsible categories.
That's where the official process ended, and Inc.'s writers got to work. The national finalists are listed below, with the winners in each category profiled on the pages that follow. The regional winners are listed in [Article link]. We have the space to tell only a few of their stories, but we want to extend our congratulations to all the national finalists and regional winners, who, like Sharon Puryear, shared their stories with us. They are all winners.

In this episode, I attempt to play (and sing in one case) the three 'new' songs from 1967 that have come to light via Bernie's upcoming auction. I also go through the working lyrics that Bernie is selling in New York on the 9 of November, and talk about what they tell us about Bernie's process. You can currently download the pdf featuring the lyric sheets here (click on the download arrow at the bottom of the page).
Stuart Epps is Elton John royalty! He was a huge part of the team that worked together to bring Elton out from the sidelines of Tin Pan Alley, into megastardom. He saw that process first hand, working in a variety of different roles. Here he tells his story. Stuart's brand new audiobook can be ordered from his website. The rarity that I play in the episode is the Steve Brown produced version of 'Take Me To The Pilot' from Olympic Studios, recorded in something like August / September 1969.

Summary (from the inside flap): This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: the cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.
When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he's found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12 to 1 against getting Noah back, but Paul's not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away any time soon... but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. What an amazing world, where students can be friends with and date whomever they want without ridicule or fear of harassment. Wouldn't that be amazing? To be who you really are, whether it's straight, gay, bisexual, shy, outgoing, religious or not, and not worry about everyone making fun of you? That's the world that Levithan has created in Boy Meets Boy.
Yes, the plot is boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets boy back. But there is so much else going on in this book. I mean, the quarterback is a transgender! How fun is that?! And, she is popular! The friendship issues are dealt with really well. How do friends deal with friends dating people they don't like? How does family deal with it? How can we get ourselves to respect people with views that are different from our own?
And the book isn't preachy; the reader feels like the acceptance, the difficulties, and the flow of the plot all make sense and are real. I liked the characters and even if I didn't like some of the choices they made, I felt as if the conversations could happen.
I should read this one, I've heard amazing things about the author and this sounds pretty cool. Thanks!
When I read the description, where it says about a used-to-be-a-guy being the homecoming queen, my eyes just popped out for a minute. Not for the oddity of the fact, but the oddity of the easy acceptance that the line signified. And then you describe the world Levithan created, where you can be anyone. How I just wish that was reality! This book does seem to have the common elements of meets, loses and gets back, but I love the spin on it! I should get to this.
Aths--You know, the standard plot line works well for this book since so much else is out of the ordinary (read: good).

Effect of brewing temperature and duration on green tea catechin solubilization: Basis for production of EGC and EGCG-enriched fractions
Author: David Labbé and Angelo Tremblay and Laurent Bazinet
In an industrial context of producing catechin-enriched fractions by electromigration, a new technology demonstrated to be effective for concentration of the two main catechins (EGC and EGCG) of green tea, the recovery yield from tea leaves during brewing would be the most important parameter of the whole process rentability. However, the majority of the kinetic studies were carried-out on black tea, a fermented tea. Consequently, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 °C) and brewing duration (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 min) on the catechin solubilization from green tea, a non-fermented tea. The use of mathematical models revealed that there was a variable interdependence between the brewing duration and the brewing temperature on catechin and caffeine concentrations. It was possible to divide catechins in two groups, the time dependent compounds (EGC and EC) and the time/temperature dependent compounds (C, EGCG, GCG and ECG). Furthermore, the 3D models calculated to represent the evolution of the catechins and caffeine concentrations allowed to determine the best combination of time and temperature for their extraction: 50 °C during 20–40 min for time-dependent compounds, 90 °C during 80 min for the time/temperature-dependent compounds, and 70–80 °C during 20–40 min for caffeine. Furthermore, this research pointed out a very simple two-step procedure to fractionate the EGC and EGCG by modifying brewing temperature and time parameters.


In the primary races for U.S. Congress in District 2, the Sun-News endorses Democrat Xochitl Torres Small and Republican Monty Newman.
The decision by Steve Pearce to give up the seat he has held for seven of the past eight terms has created an open invitation for those from both parties to seek the vacant position.
Torres Small is being challenged by Madeline Hildebrandt, a Coast Guard veteran who entered the race before Pearce had announced that he would be leaving Congress to run for governor.
Torres Small was a later entry into the race, waiting to see who else would step forward, and then deciding to do so herself when none of those she was hoping would run actually did so.
Both candidates share a progressive ideology, and are motivated by the 2016 election and subsequent events. What separates them is experience.
Torres Small campaigned for then-U.S. Rep. Tom Udall in his first race for the Senate, then set up and ran his southern New Mexico field office after helping him win the election. That allowed her insight into the Congress, and an idea as to which committee assignments would allow her to have the most impact on local issues.
She also had the opportunity to learn about the issues facing residents of southern New Mexico and help resolve their issues when possible. Since then, she has become an attorney specializing in water law, another issue of critical importance to the state.
In the Republican race, Newman has four challengers, Yvette Herrell, Gavin Clarkson and Clayburn Griffin.
A former chairman of the state Republican Party and mayor of Hobbs, Newman was also a successful realtor for more than 30 years.
Clarkson and Griffin are both running for office for the first time. Clarkson has an impressive personal story, and a well-developed plan to boost development of Native American lands by ending double taxation. But his agenda and his expertise are focused on that one issue. Griffin is offering a welcome call for more civility in government. But, he also lacks the well-defined policies of his opponents.
Herrell has served four terms in the New Mexico Legislature, and has been introduced to some members of Congress through her work on right-to-life and public lands issues. She has the experience needed, but her positions on several issues – calling for the deportation of DACA recipients being one example – are too extreme for the district.
Newman has solid credentials as both a Republican and a conservative. We expect that his voting record would be in step with Pearce on most issues.
Along with his business experience, Newman has a lifetime of leadership experience on important boards and commissions in his community, including the New Mexico Junior College Board of Trustees, the Board of Trustees for the University of the Southwest, the Economic Development Association of Lea County and the Eddy-Lea County Energy Alliance.
He understands the importance of federal spending in southern New Mexico, and the need for our representative to protect those facilities.
Newman and Torres Small are best prepared for the steep learning curve that awaits whoever wins this race.
