Art Bra Features: The Triple-Threats
By Elizabeth Freeman May 14, 2017 Art Bra Features Leave a comment
These three ladies are who we're calling the Art Bra Austin triple-threat. They are not only the talented artists behind the incredible art bras we're introducing to you today; they're also survivors of breast cancer and clients of BCRC, and members of the Art Bra Austin Model Committee! Olivia, Jeanne, and Jennifer play a huge role in the planning of BCRC's signature fundraiser event, Art Bra Austin, and we're delighted to show off their beautiful creations!
A four-year Art Bra veteran, Olivia Moreno is our first triple threat. Olivia's introduction to the event was in 2014, when she modeled her own sporty art bra design during Art Bra Austin's Floor Show. It had been just over 6 months since Olivia first learned she had breast cancer. But she did not let cancer break her spirit, reflecting, "While breast cancer took away my left breast, it left me with much more. My love of fashion design and my faith have grown so much because of breast cancer and this wonderful event called Art Bra Austin."
Olivia became hooked. In 2015 she modeled on the runway with a one-of-a-kind "Batgirl" themed art bra, designed by herself, of course. And in 2016, Olivia decided to take her participation a step further, and serve as a volunteer on Art Bra Austin's Model Committee.
This year is Olivia's second year stewarding our 60+ Art Bra Models as the Model Committee's Co-Chair. It's a big job, but as the mother of many kids and an active member of her Church, Olivia has become the reliable steady hand, shepherding sixty breast cancer survivors on the road to June 3rd. She's a pro we couldn't be more grateful for!
"The Ring Master" is without a doubt Olivia's most ambitious design yet. The art bra is made from a mosaic of modern and vintage fabrics, buttons, and metals fashioned together to form a corset fit for cancer-land's 'Ring Master'. The neckline clasp is of particular distinction: a vintage Mimi Di N piece. Olivia felt inspired by her interpretation of cancer as a chaotic, three-ringed circus – full of labs, scans, and appointments – and all coordinated by the 'Ring Master Oncologist' and her team of schedulers. She dedicates "Ring Master" in honor of her oncologist, Dr. Beth Hellerstedt, and oncologists everywhere who are cracking the whip to bring order back to chaos.
Jeanne Elliott
The next Art Bra Austin superstar to gush over is Jeanne Elliott. Born an Air Force brat in New Jersey, Jeanne moved to Texas when she was 4 years old. She later met her husband in Corpus Christi, moved to Austin, and raised two handsome boys, one of whom has gifted her with a granddaughter! Like Olivia, Jeanne first got involved in Art Bra Austin as a BCRC client. She was diagnosed in 2013 and modeled on the Runway for the first time in 2014. The next year, Jeanne returned to the Art Bra stage modeling an extravagant art bra costume she created head-to-toe.
Always wanting to do more, Jeanne took on a new role in 2015, volunteering as the Art Bra Model Committee's Fundraising Chair. Under her leadership and guidance, the models blew past their 2016 fundraising goal by raising a record-breaking $125,000!! We're so grateful Jeanne decided to return as the Model Fundraising Chair for this year, and proud to say she's now a part-time member of the BCRC staff, helping our Development team get ready for the best Art Bra Austin show yet!
This is Jeanne's third year to submit an art bra for the show, and her final year for modeling her creation on the big night. Jeanne loves letting her creative juices flow through all types of mediums, and finds it important to use her own experience as both a cancer survivor an Art Bra Model to support breast cancer patients through this experience and help them find their 'new normal.' She created "Royal Peacock Masquerade" because the peacock is a symbol of integrity and the beauty we can achieve when we endeavor to show our true colors. She felt inspired by the beauty of the peacock's majestic feathers, and set out to create a visually stunning art bra made from peacock feathers, hotfix crystals, printed ribbon, eyelash yarn, and glass and crystal beads. Jeanne also created a matching mask, and what's not pictured is the extravagant skirt she's hand-sewn using over 500 peacock feathers!!
Jennifer Wallace (left), Jaylinn Davidson (right)
Last, but certainly not least is makeup-extraordinaire, Jennifer Wallace. Like her fellow Model Committee members, Jennifer is a BCRC client and survivor of breast cancer. She walked the runway as an Art Bra Model in 2016, and has returned this year as our Model Committee's Hair and Makeup Coordinator. Art Bra Austin would not be the theatrical, beautiful event it is without the generously-donated time and talent of over 50 professional hair and makeup stylists who work backstage to transform our clients into their Art Bra Model best. Managing backstage hair and makeup is no small task, but taking on this role has proven seamless for Jennifer, who also works as a Lash Artist for Cara Bello Studio.
This is Jennifer's first time creating an art bra, which she and her co-designer aptly named, "The Mad Hatter". She'll be modeling "The Mad Hatter" in her second debut as an Art Bra Model. The art bra's other creator is Jennifer's close friend, Jaylinn Davidson. Jennifer met Jaylinn when she was in the final months of her Herceptin treatment. She describes how they became fast friends and how this friendship set the inspiration for their design,
"Not only do we have a ton in common but we are soul sisters. I am always asked about my successes during treatment and the love that comes from friends is definitely a major thread. I always wondered how could I represent that in an art bra? Until now. She came to me during my rebirth and just like this bra that has been created with threads and chains is this friendship. It is loose and tight and is nourished and there's so much love."
Jaylinn also describes the fun they had in designing this one-of-a-kind piece together,
"It's Jennifer's 40th birthday and we really wanted to have some fun and take on the craftsmanship of the Hatter. We hand-stitched all of the buttons and embellishments. We hand-shaped the rabbit and stitched him down with gold elastic. We steam-punk the punk out of this hatter. And had a jolly good time doing it."
"The Mad Hatter" is a mixed media piece made from pleather, feathers, buttons, faux fur, metal wiring and clock gears, tiny teacups, keys, and chains. It comes complete with a top hat, bustle, collar and cuffs – all hand-made by Jennifer Wallace and Jaylinn Davidson.
We find these art bras and the women designers behind them beautiful and inspiring, each in their own way. And together they represent the remarkableness and strength of the women who BCRC is honored to serve. We can't wait to see these creations come to life on June 3rd. If you haven't bought your tickets, we suggest you act quickly before they sell out! We hope you join us!
Art Bra® Austin will take place on June 3, at the Austin Convention Center, 500 E Cesar Chavez St., Austin, Texas. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for cocktails, food service and silent auction, followed by the runway show and live auction at 8:00 p.m. General Admission tickets are currently on sale for $200 and reserved-seating floor and runway tickets are available for $250. Tickets are available at http://artbraaustin.org/get-tickets.
ABOUT ART BRA AUSTIN
Art Bra® Austin, now in its sixth year, is BCRC's signature fundraiser. Every year, Austin's talented community of artists, designers, and jewelers submit their original works of wearable art to be showcased by a dynamic group of Art Bra Austin models, creating an enchanting evening where everyone involved from the artists to the models and stylists donates their time and services. Approximately 60 to 70 pieces are selected from over 100 submissions to be offered for auction the night of the event. Top submissions are auctioned live during the runway show with winning bids as high as $8,500. For more information about this event and how to get involved, please visit www.artbraaustin.org.

Vermont is a state in the United States. Its capital is the city of Montpelier, and its largest city is Burlington.
The states that border Vermont are Massachusetts to the south, New Hampshire to the east, New York to the west, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north.
Vermont was home to the Abenaki and Iroquois Native American groups until France took control of the area when it was building colonies. Great Britain gained control after winning the French and Indian War. It is known for being one of only four states to be an independent nation before joining the United States. It was not a part of the 13 colonies and instead joined as the 14th state. Vermont became a state in 1791. It is world-renowned for its maple syrup industry, and many tourists go to see brilliant colors the trees become in the fall months. The tourism industry has become quite successful, with many tourists coming every year.

Category: Occupy Protests
The Morning Flap: November 17, 2011
Posted November 17, 2011 Flap1 CommentPosted in Occupy Protests, Occupy Wall Street, Pinboard Links
These are my links for November 15th through November 17th:
Berkeley police break up Occupy Cal; tents removed, 2 arrested – Police moved in early Thursday to break up the Occupy Cal protest at UC Berkeley, arresting at least two protesters.
Scores of officers conducted the raid, removing the tents and clearing the area.
On Tuesday, more than 1,200 singing, sign-waving students and faculty members rallied for much of the day on Sproul Plaza, a site of the 1960s Free Speech Movement.
At one point, the demonstrators chanted "Hey, hey, ho, ho, police violence has got to go," a reference to an incident last week in which baton-wielding police officers stopped an Occupy camp from being set up on the campus. Dozens of protesters were arrested in last week's confrontation, and several were injured.
Protesters prepare to take over downtown L.A. intersection – Organizers of a demonstration planned Thursday morning in downtown Los Angeles say protesters are prepared to be arrested by police for committing acts of civil disobedience — including shutting down an intersection.
The march, which is timed to coincide with other demonstrations across the country to protest the imbalance of wealth and power in the country, is set to begin at 7 a.m. at Bank of America Plaza on Hope Street. It will then make its way through the Financial District to the corner of Figueroa and 4th streets, where demonstrators plan to shut down traffic by erecting tents in the middle of the street.
Jacob Hay, a leader of the coalition of labor and community groups that helped organize the march, said the group has secured police permits, but that protesters are prepared to be arrested for blocking traffic.
Perry challenges Pelosi to debate part-time Congress plan – Rick Perry has challenged House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to debate him next week about his plan for a part-time Congress.
In a letter to Pelosi (D-Calif.) obtained by The Hill, the Texas governor wrote: "I am in Washington Monday and would love to engage you in a public debate about my Overhaul Washington plan versus the congressional status quo.
"I think it would be a tremendous service to the American people to see a public airing of these differences," he continued. "Let the people decide. If Monday doesn't work, perhaps we could find a time in Iowa over the course of the next month to discuss these issues in front of the people of America's heartland."
San Franciso police arrest 100 in Bank of America protest – Protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement seized a Bank of America branch in the city's financial district Wednesday, a demonstration that forced jittery customers and employees to flee and ended in nearly 100 arrests.
It took about 40 police officers in riot gear nearly four hours to clear the bank, but no one was injured. Police said many of those arrested were UC Santa Cruz students who were protesting fee increases and budget cuts.
Police removed the protesters methodically, placing them in plastic handcuffs, citing them for misdemeanor trespassing and sending them off in police wagons for further processing.
Wall Street clashes start Occupy's day of action – Police arrested protesters who sat on the ground and blocked traffic into New York's financial district on Thursday, part of a day of mass gatherings in response to efforts to break up Occupy Wall Street camps nationwide.
Police in riot helmets hauled several protesters to their feet and handcuffed them one block from Wall Street.
"All day, all week, shut down Wall Street!" the crowd chanted.
Occupy Wall Street protesters vow to wear suits, blend in and get revenge for the Zuccotti Park raid – Occupy Wall Street hoped to show there was life after Zuccotti Thursday by staging a series of marches and rallies – starting with a sneak attack on the Stock Exchange itself.
As the city braced for a "sizeable" crowd, observers on both sides said the scale of the protest would show whether the two-month-old movement could regain momentum after Tuesday's demoralizing defeat.
OWS hoped anger over the NYPD raid that razed their iconic tent city at Zuccotti Park would breathe new life into a cause that had begun to sputter.
The "day of action" is to begin early, with protesters converging on Wall Street camouflaged in business suits hoping to blend in with office workers trooping out of the subway.
Zuccotti Park protester Nkrumah Tinsley arrested after threatening to burn down city – A protester was arrested in Zuccotti Park Wednesday after he threatened to fire bomb the city — and his rant went viral on YouTube, police said.
Nkrumah Tinsley, 29, was busted after cops saw a video of him claiming he would torch the city during Thursday's mass protest posted online, police said.
"On the 17th (of Nov.), we're going to burn New York City to the f—ing ground," an angry Tinsley told a crowd of demonstrators in the video posted on Tuesday.
"In a few days, you're going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to Macy's."
When officers from the NYPD's intelligence division saw the video, they immediately began working on trying to identify the raging man, police said.
"We didn't want him out there [Thursday]. We wanted him in our custody," said Paul Browne, top spokesman for the NYPD. "He was specific as to date, location and method for the fire bombing …maybe it was just a rant, but we didn't want to take that chance."
Cops later spotted Tinsley at Zuccotti Park Wednesday and collared him about 5 p.m., police said. He was charged with making terroristic threats.
Romenesko Leaves Poynter After Conflict Over Quotes – Jim Romenesko, the blogger who developed a large and loyal following by chronicling and summarizing news in the media world, quit his post on Thursday evening after a bizarre spat with the institute that hosts his writing.
An editor at Poynter, which purchased Mr. Romenesko's blog 12 years ago, had questioned his failure to use quotation marks when summarizing articles in his daily round-ups of media stories — summaries that Mr. Romenesko never claimed credit for as his original work.
In an e-mail to the institute on Thursday night, Mr. Romenesko said, "I've had a great dozen years at Poynter, and I look forward to my next chapter."
Felix • A couple of points about Romeneskogate, for those who aren't completely bored of it by now – The original Julie Moos post was highly misleading in one respect — she made it seem as though Romenesko hadn't blockquoted two full paragraphs in this post, when in fact he had used blockquote. I know Moos was misleading because Jack Shafer said that she "pointed to a recent example from Romenesko's work in which he ran whole sentences from a Chicago Tribune story in his summary of it without placing the words in quotation marks or block quotation". I suspect that the problem here is that Poynter's CSS has problems with blockquotes-within-blockquotes, but in any case Moos should have been much clearer that only a minority of the text in question was outside quote marks or blockquotes.
Justin Peters managed to commit exactly the same sin that Moos did, when he reminisced about freelancing on Today's Papers. "I knuckled down and found a way to say things in my own words, because I am a journalist, and that is my job," he writes, managing to to completely miss the point of what an aggregator does. It's not the job of a journalist, saying things in his own words: instead, it's the job of a curator, linking to great content. If Peters thinks that Romenesko's job was that of a journalist, writing things in his own words, he's missing the point entirely.
Holding aggregators to journalistic standards – Moos is using the standards of original journalism, here, to judge a blogger who was never about original journalism. Copy-and-pasting other people's stories is what Romenesko did, at high volume, and with astonishing speed and reliability, for many years. And the media community, including Poynter, loved him for it.
Moos might have "spent weeks in 2004 developing explicit publishing guidelines with the understanding and expectation that they would be adopted", but guidelines are always reverse-engineered from already-existing best practice. And Romenesko is a shining example of best practice in the aggregation world. If he's violating the guidelines, then it's the guidelines which are at fault, not Romenesko.
Petty bureaucrats like Moos love to codify things, so that they can cite chapter and verse when telling people off. But if you're running a grown-up media organization, please: follow Paton's lead, and not Moos's. Journalists will behave unethically, sometimes. When they do, they should be reprimanded or even fired. But basic common sense is always the best guide to whether a journalist has done something wrong. And when Julie Moos presumes to judge Jim Romenesko by the standards of a Moos-written rulebook, it's right and proper that the wrath of the Twittersphere come down on her as a result.

Wisconsin's Governor: Recall Drive Is About Unions Seeking 'Power' – Many of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's citizens may be signing petitions for his recall in reaction to the battle he led earlier in the year to weaken his state's public-employee unions.
But Walker doesn't appear to be backing off one inch from his stance that he did what was right for his state.
Indeed, in a conversation with Tell Me More host Michel Martin, Walker essentially blamed outside agitators in organized labor for the recall effort.
He accused his political foes of really being after "power" while presumably camouflaging their true intent with platitudes about workers' rights, among other things.
Unions are in particular coming after him, Walker said, because the new budget law he and the the Republican-controlled state legislature in Madison enacted, gave workers a choice about whether or not to belong to a union.

Is the Gingrich Bubble Already Popping? – Is the Gingrich Bubble Already Popping?
Gingrich Said to Be Paid $1.6M by Freddie Mac- Bloomberg – Gingrich Said to Be Paid at Least $1.6 Million by Freddie Mac
Is the Gingrich Bubble Already Popping? – Joe Klein says news of Newt Gingrich's ties to Freddie Mac threaten to halt his recent recent rise in the polls.
"You must understand: to Republican stalwarts, a relationship with Freddie Mac is the moral equivalent of satanism. Gingrich was a paid helper — and, believe me, he didn't get paid $1.6 million to lecture the organization on the failures of government intervention in the market — in a 'socialist' effort to make home-buying easier for people who ordinarily wouldn't be able to afford houses, an effort that famously went off the rails when the government began supporting sub-prime and other highly questionable mortgages."
"In other words, Gingrich was supporting — the best guess was that Gingrich was hired to win some Republican support for Freddie — the very sort of program that he routinely excoriates. This sort of hypocrisy is astounding but, sadly, not unknown to Newt. After all, this was the guy who led the Republican Impeachment of Bill Clinton while having an extra-marital affair of his own."
Gingrich Said to Be Paid at Least $1.6 Million by Freddie Mac – Newt Gingrich made between $1.6 million and $1.8 million in consulting fees from two contracts with mortgage company Freddie Mac, according to two people familiar with the arrangement.
The total amount is significantly larger than the $300,000 payment from Freddie Mac that Gingrich was asked about during a Republican presidential debate on Nov. 9 sponsored by CNBC, and more than was disclosed in the middle of congressional investigations into the housing industry collapse.
Gingrich's business relationship with Freddie Mac spanned a period of eight years. When asked at the debate what he did to earn a $300,000 payment in 2006, the former speaker said he "offered them advice on precisely what they didn't do," and warned the company that its lending practices were "insane." Former Freddie Mac executives who worked with Gingrich dispute that account.
Gingrich's first contract with the mortgage lender was in 1999, five months after he resigned from Congress and as House speaker, according to a Freddie Mac press release.
His primary contact inside the organization was Mitchell Delk, Freddie Mac's chief lobbyist, and he was paid a self- renewing, monthly retainer of $25,000 to $30,000 between May 1999 until 2002, according to three people familiar with aspects of the business agreement.

Terror three plead not guilty – 38-year-old Iraqi-Kurd Shawan Sadek Saeed Bujak, Uzbek David Jakobsen, 33, and alleged Uighur (China) mastermind 40-year-old Mikael Davud, pleaded not guilty to planning an assault using explosives on Danish paper Jyllands-Posten at today's opening of their trial in Oslo District Court.
All also denied their guilt relating to charges of trying to obtain bomb ingredients, as well as plotting to assassinate Danish cartoonist and author of the contentious Prophet Mohammed caricatures, Kurt Westergaard.
Police Security Service (PST) officials arrested now indicted Bujak, Jakobsen, and Davud in Norway and Germany last year on suspicion of planning to blow up the Chinese Embassy in Oslo.
The case is also believed to be connected with plans to bomb a New York subway and a shopping mall in Manchester, UK, in 2009.
According to NRK, Prosecutor Geir Evanger said today that, "There is no doubt that David Jakobsen ordered hydrogen peroxide at a pharmacy on Jernbanetorget [in Oslo] on 02 September 2009. There is [also] no doubt that this can be used to make explosives."
"He picked it up on 04 September, and the bottle was handed over to Mikael Davud in his Oslo apartment the same evening. However, police had already replaced the contents of the bottle contents with something harmless," he continued.
All three men also have suspected links with al-Qaida. Officials believe Mr Davud had travelled to Pakistan and was trained by the extremist group how to make explosives, as well as agreeing he would commit acts of terror.
"He made a deal with Bujak and Jakobsen to hit Jyllands-Posten's offices when he came back to Norway," alleged Geir Evanger.
Gallegly Has Decision To Make – Last November voters elected Elton Gallegly to a 13th term in the US. House of Representatives.
Today the 24th District Representative told Key News he was humbled by phone calls urging him to run again.
But redistricting being challenged in Federal court puts his Simi Valley hometown in the 25th district represented by Republican Buck McKeon.
McKeon has already announced his run for re-election.
Now Gallegly must decide whether to run against McKeon in the 25th or run again in the 24th, something he can legally do.
To make an informed decision the Congressman wants to see what happens with the Federal lawsuit challenging redistricting.
Members of the Camarillo Los Posas Republican Womans Federated group hope he will continue to represent them.
Many business owners hope so too.
Although would be challengers are anxious to see Gallegy will do, he has time to decide.
3 plead not guilty as terror trial opens in Norway – Three men accused in Norway of an al-Qaida-linked plot to attack a Danish newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammad pleaded not guilty Tuesday to terror charges as their trial began.
The trial of Mikael Davud, Shawan Sadek Saeed Bujak and David Jakobsen is being seen as a key test of Norway's anti-terror laws. The men had been under surveillance for more than a year when authorities moved to arrest them in July 2010.
Norwegian investigators, who worked with their U.S. counterparts, say the defendants were building a bomb in a basement laboratory — a plot linked to the same al-Qaida planners behind 2009 schemes to blow up New York's subway and a British shopping mall.
The men deny the terror charges. Prosecutors must prove they worked together in a conspiracy, because a single individual plotting an attack is not covered by Norway's anti-terror laws.
Prosecutor Geir Evanger told the Oslo district court that Davud, the alleged ringleader, received explosives training in Pakistan. They said he conspired with al-Qaida operatives to attack the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper, whose 12 cartoons of Muhammad triggered furious protests in Muslim countries in 2006.
Herdt: Opportunity knocks; is anyone home? – In the national struggle for control of Congress next year, both Democrats and Republicans acknowledge that Ventura County's new 26th Congressional District will be an important battlefield.
It has all the key elements: voter registration that is closely divided, a healthy percentage of independents and a history of split results.
It has all the elements, that is, except for this: very few warriors.
There are two announced Democratic candidates, Moorpark City Councilman David Pollock and Westlake Village businessman David Cruz Thayne. Most observers are waiting for another to emerge — Supervisor Steve Bennett, or perhaps Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, or perhaps some other surprise candidate with proven fundraising ability.
There are no announced Republican candidates because everyone is waiting on Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-Simi Valley, to publicly reveal his intentions.
The growing frustration over that uncertainty last week led Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Santa Clarita, to issue what appeared to be a calculated poke at Gallegly to make up his mind. McKeon told his hometown newspaper that "as near as I can pin him down," Gallegly intends to run in the 25th District against McKeon.
Gallegly actually lives in the 25th District, but his Simi Valley home is only a couple hundred yards from the boundary, and most of the 26th District is made up of areas he now represents. As long as the 26th District remains an option for Gallegly, other Republicans are frozen out by the political protocol that frowns on challenging an incumbent in a primary.

Occupy Oakland's Amazon.com Wishlist
Posted October 27, 2011 October 27, 2011 Flap5 CommentsPosted in Occupy Protests, Occupy Wall Street
No, I am not making this up.
The Occupy Wall Street protesters who have had the run of Oakland's streets lately have an Amazon.com Wishlist.
Really… and it is here.
Guess they need these goods for their general strike, which they have called on November 2nd.
After Occupy Oakland protesters reconvened at Frank Ogawa Plaza Wednesday night and voted to organize a city-wide general strike on November 2, a jubilant crowd poured out into the city streets, dancing and cheering.
But their attempts to head across the bay to join the Occupy San Francisco group were thwarted by BART officers, who shut down the 12th Street BART entrance as protesters–including those towing a giant stereo system on wheels–tried to make their way into the station. For about ten minutes, protesters chanted "Police brutality!" and "This is what democracy looks like!" at the BART officers before moving on to the 14th Street and Broadway intersection.
The crowd then massed itself into an impromptu march that took protesters past the Glenn E. Dyer detention facility at 7th Street and Washington, then back up Broadway, and then down to San Pablo Avenue near the Greyhound bus station, where they waved to security guards to come join them and passing cars honked in support. They passed West Grand and then circled back towards downtown.
Police officers, some in riot gear, were stationed near the jail as well as at 12th Street between Broadway and Franklin, and at San Pablo and West Grand, but officers did not interact with the marchers. When a few protesters stopped to face the officers or take their pictures, other marchers chided them, crying "Get back in the march!" and "Do not provoke!"
The marchers played music as they went, dancing to hits by the Jackson 5 and Missy Elliot, forming a line that at 11:45 pm filled the street for several city blocks. As they continued along city streets, police cars and motorcycles appeared to be accompanying them along parallel side streets, monitoring their progress block by block without directly interfering.

Poll Watch: 32% Have Favorable View of Occupy Wall Street

Protesters and members of Occupy Wall Street wait for the start of the march, during an annual demonstration calling for a stop to police brutality in New York October 22, 2011
According to the latest CNN Poll.
Although most Americans don't trust Wall Street, that hasn't translated into full support –or understanding– of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Despite large majorities who think that Wall Street bankers are greedy, overpaid and dishonest, four in ten don't have an opinion about the weeks-long protests, according to a new CNN/ORC International poll released Monday.
Among those who have an opinion, the public is split on how they feel about Occupy Wall Street. Thirty-two percent of Americans say they have a favorable view of the movement that has spread from Wall Street to Chicago, and that even cropped up at the most recent CNN presidential debate in Las Vegas. Twenty-nine percent of the nation says they have an unfavorable view of Occupy Wall Street.
But opinions are clear about Wall Street itself. Eight in ten say Wall Street bankers are greedy, 77% say they're overpaid, and two-thirds say Wall Street bankers are dishonest, a number that has gone up by a third in roughly two decades.
Over time, opinions about the financial center of the U.S. have gotten worse. In the 1990s, only 30% of the country said they had no trust at all in Wall Street to do what is best for the economy, 24 percentage points lower than now.
Pretty much what I would expect. Most Americans are too caught up in their own lives to involve themselves in a protest movement in which there are NO clear goals or objectives.
Although this "occupation" may last a while, eventually it will just flame out with NO real impact. What will have an impact will be the Presidential race for 2012 which starts in the first week of the New Year with the Iowa GOP Caucuses.
The entire poll is here (pdf).
Poll Watch: 22% Approve of Occupy Wall Street Movement's Goals
According to the latest Gallup Poll.
Less than half of Americans express an opinion about either the Occupy Wall Street movement's goals or the way it has conducted its protests. Those with an opinion are more likely to approve than disapprove.
The results are based on an Oct. 15-16 USA Today/Gallup poll. The Occupy Wall Street movement has attracted significant media attention for its nearly month-long protest of major U.S. financial institutions in New York, with similar demonstrations taking place in numerous other cities in the United States in recent weeks.
But the American public does not seem to be very familiar with the movement or its goals. Part of that may stem from the below-average level of attention Americans are paying to the news story. Fifty-six percent say they are following the story closely, including 18% who say very closely. The averages for more than 200 news events Gallup has tracked since the 1990s are 61% closely and 22% very closely.
Additionally, the lack of knowledge about the movement's goals may be because the movement has not had clearly defined leaders or goals. Rather, it appears to be united by grievances against the wealthiest Americans — in particular, those who run major Wall Street financial institutions.
Republicans (57%), Democrats (57%), and independents (55%) are about equally likely to say they are following news about Occupy Wall Street closely.
Those who are closely following the news about Occupy Wall Street are more likely to approve than disapprove of the movement's goals, but even among this more attentive group there is a substantial degree of uncertainty, 44%. That drops to 27% among the most highly attentive group, those who are following the story "very closely." Among this group, 45% approve and 29% disapprove of the Occupy Wall Street movement's goals.
It appears the American public by and large are neutral toward the Occupy Wall Street Movement. And, in contrast to the Tea party movement, the level of public support is about the same.
The poll sought to contrast support for Occupy Wall Street with another prominent American movement, the Tea Party. In the poll, 22% describe themselves as Tea Party movement supporters, 27% as opponents, and 47% as neither. Gallup has typically found that about equal percentages of Americans are Tea Party supporters or opponents, with the greatest percentage neutral. Thus, the current level of public support for Occupy Wall Street is similar to that for the Tea Party movement.
So, what are the implications?
Unclear.
To the extent the Democratic Party and its member POLS embrace the Occupy Wall Street Movement is unknown. And, how this influences the 2012 elections is also unknown.
However, the recent polling by the Wall Street Journal which provides some insight into the protesters might indeed exert some future influence on both who as elected representatives support them or how the public perceives them.
The protesters have a distinct ideology and are bound by a deep commitment to radical left-wing policies. On Oct. 10 and 11, Arielle Alter Confino, a senior researcher at my polling firm, interviewed nearly 200 protesters in New York's Zuccotti Park. Our findings probably represent the first systematic random sample of Occupy Wall Street opinion.
Our research shows clearly that the movement doesn't represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth, civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence. Half (52%) have participated in a political movement before, virtually all (98%) say they would support civil disobedience to achieve their goals, and nearly one-third (31%) would support violence to advance their agenda.
The vast majority of demonstrators are actually employed, and the proportion of protesters unemployed (15%) is within single digits of the national unemployment rate (9.1%).
Occupying Wall Street Energy Primarily a "LEFT" Coast Affair
Posted October 17, 2011 October 17, 2011 Flap1 CommentPosted in Occupy Protests, Occupy Wall Street
Nate Silver of the New York Times has this analysis.
The nascent movement known as Occupy Wall Street had its largest single day of protests on Saturday. And a funny thing happened: most of the action was far from Wall Street itself.
No, I don't mean at Zuccotti Park — which is not, technically, on Wall Street. Nor do I mean Times Square — all of 19 minutes away from Wall Street on the 'C' train — where large crowds of protesters gathered on Saturday.
Instead I mean Europe, where crowds in cities like Rome, Barcelona and Madrid were estimated at 200,000 to 500,000 per city (more, probably, than the protests in the United States combined). And I mean California and other parts of the western United States, where crowds were proportionately much larger than in the Northeast or elsewhere in the country.
Leaving aside Europe, where the Occupy protests merged, not always seamlessly, with those sponsored by left-wing groups, the distribution of protests throughout the United States may reveal something about the political orientation of the protesters.
Yep, from the West – where there is higher unemployment as well.

Worker killed on ramp at Alabama airport in airplane incident
By David Shepardson
(Reuters) -A worker was fatally injured on the ramp at Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama where an American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) regional carrier flight was parked, the Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident that occurred where American Airlines Flight 3408, an Embraer E175, was parked at the gate after arriving from Dallas. The FAA said the airport was closed after the incident.
Two people briefed on the matter said the initial investigation indicates the employee was killed in an accident involving one of the airplane's engines that was running.
The flight was operated by Envoy Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group .
The airport said a ground crew worker for Piedmont Airlines, another American regional subsidiary, was killed but did not elaborate.
American said in a statement it was devastated by the accident, which it confirmed involved an employee of Piedmont.
"We are focused on ensuring that all involved have the support they need during this difficult time," the airline said, declining further comment on the active investigation.

Gallant Hudson gets fourth
Jamaica's Shane Hudson clocked a season's best 49.07 seconds for fourth in the men's T45/46/47 400 metres final at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, yesterday. "I gave it my all," Hudson said after he narrowly missed out on the bronze medal. He added: "This will make me more determined to continue. The time, 49.07, is my season's best. I look now to London next year, where the International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships will be held". Jamaica Paralympic Association president Christopher Samuda described Hudson's run as "valiant and inspiring and what we expect from an athlete who is determined to give his best on the day". Hudson was strongly tipped for a medal after he advanced from Friday's semi-finals with the fastest time. Yesterday, however, he was outrun by the medallists in a very close finish for the top four spots. Cuba's Ernesto Blanco, beaten by Hudson in the semi-finals, won gold in a personal best 48.79. Silver went to Brazil's Petrucio Ferreira dos Santos (personal best 48.87), while Gunther Matsinger of Austria pocketed bronze after clocking a season's best 48.95. Jamaica, with just three competitors, ended the Games without a medal.

UK Advisor's recommendations not being implemented
– SOCU overwhelmed with over 300 casesBy Jarryl BryanWith questions raised about the Special Organised Crime Unit's (SOCU) effectiveness in bringing successful cases against those it is pursuing, British white-collar crime expert Sam Sittlington has revealed that SOCU is inundated with forensic audits. Despite this, however, some of his proposals to lighten the workload are not being implemented.Sittlington made this revelation during a press conference hosted by the British High Commissioner, Gregory Quinn, on Tuesday, officially announcing his return. The Advisor, who had worked with SOCU last year in a similar capacity, lamented that recommendations like hiring in-house legal counsel for SOCU and special prosecutors to assist the Police Legal Advisor (PLA) are languishing in much the same way as some of the cases he left.UK High Commissioner Greg Quinn (left) and white-collar crime expert, Sam Sittlington"I do not make decisions on behalf of SOCU," Sittlington related. "(But) there's a number of recommendations I made last year, which although approved, have not yet been implemented. The five special prosecutors that we have also have private practices so they are conflicted between two different areas.""Ideally, we want one good lawyer in SOCU who can work with the cases … they can finalise a case before it goes to PLA (Police Legal Advisor) or DPP [Director of Public Prosecution] to try to quicken that actual process of getting that case to court," Sittlington noted.The Advisor also noted that conflict sometimes arises between the PLA, the DPP and the special prosecutors. At the end of it all, Sittlington acknowledged that undue delays were unfair to those being investigated from a human rights perspective.He noted that he could meet with these individuals and institutions, in order to mediate a way forward. Asked point blank whether PLA, Justice Claudette Singh, was being reluctant in pursuing cases, Sittlington expressed disagreement.Sittlington pointed out that with only four forensic audits resulting in court charges, SOCU presently has to deal with 26 forensic audits that could result in over 300 cases. Of these, he said, an estimated $170 billion could be at stake. In addition, Sittlington revealed that SOCU is handling a number of referrals from the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).RamificationsQuinn, who accompanied Sittlington during the press conference, explained the ramifications for Guyana seeming soft on money laundering cases. According to Quinn, the United Kingdom while providing assistance to the Government could not do everything."All we can do here is providing guidance, mentoring to a fundamental part of Guyana's ability to be anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism," Quinn explained, noting that this is something everyone should be concerned about."Because if Guyana is not seen to be addressing (money laundering), that has (a) potentially significant broader impact to Guyana's standings globally, not just in the financial market, but also as to how other countries around the world see Guyana," Quinn related.In a previous interview with Guyana Times in September of last year, SOCU head, Assistant Commissioner of Police Sydney James, had made mention of cases being delayed. He had revealed that since being handed over 20 forensic audit reports, the Unit had managed to complete investigations into three of these matters.Those matters were their investigations into Pradoville 2, the National Industrial and Commercial Investment Limited (NICIL) and the Commonwealth Reports for which former Attorney General Anil Nandlall was charged.James had noted that SOCU's other investigations were still a work in progress. He had revealed that in some cases they were awaiting legal advice. Pressed on the delay, James questioned whether he had the authority to find out reasons for the delay from the Police Force's Legal Advisor.Following Sittlington's initial appointment last year, SOCU in a bold move had arrested and questioned a number of top officials from the previous Government. These arrests were in connection to property purchased at the Sparendaam seawall area on the East Coast that is commonly known as "Pradoville 2".While the current Administration contends that the transaction is a criminal act because of the belief that the land was sold below market value, the People's Progressive Party (PPP) had argued that subsidized housing has always been a part of the legacy of the People's Progressive Party, and that countless Guyanese have benefited from lands sold below market value. No further action was ever pursued against these former officials and the arrests prompted resounding cries of 'witch-hunting'. read more
Cabinet not briefed about SARA's oil blocks probe – Harmon
Former PresidentDonald Ramotar – but does not foresee independent body investigating sameWeeks after reports surfaced that State Assets Recovery Agency (SARA) has launched an investigation into the award of oil blocks to various companies, Cabinet is yet to be briefed on the matter.The probe is being conducted into the award of oil blocks under the previous Administration. In light of this development, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo had called for a reputable international and independent firm to conduct these investigations, if the Government believes it is needed.However, when contacted on Monday, Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon was unable to say if the request will be considered."I won't be able to say. As you know, SARA is an independent agency and they operate their own entity…The matter has not been dealt with at the level of Cabinet to determine how they will proceed with what they are doing," Harmon explained."So, I can't say whether, in fact, that is something they are pursuing, but I think they would be in a better position to advise on what course of action," he further added.On May 22, an article appeared in New York-based Bloomberg website, in which SARA Director Professor Clive Thomas is quoted as saying that there is a pending probe into the award of oil blocks and licenses to various companies."We're investigating the issuance of the licenses, for example, and the various blocks. We're building up a case. This is an area of investigation into how the blocks were allocated and the decisions that were made.""We're at an investigatory stage so we can't libel persons by saying that we found proof of anything. There's enough evidence for us to want to continue the investigation," Professor Thomas is quoted as saying in the article.The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has already warned that reports of such an investigation have the potential to harm the investment climate in Guyana."It's dangerous for our investment climate, destroys investor confidence and it creates that level of uncertainty that we don't need right now. We haven't produced a drop as yet. And you already want to send bad signals to the international community? It's highly improper, irregular and totally disturbing," Charles Ramson Jr – the Chamber's point-person on the petroleum industry – had expressed during a recent press conference.The issue about reexamining oil contracts signed under the previous Administration comes at a time when there is a huge visiting Ghana delegation, led by their President Nana Akufo-Addo to Guyana.Ghana is currently going through a similar situation where its Government has undertaken to review and possibly revoke 12 petroleum agreements. Reports are that the reason for this exercise is because of the inadequate compliance of the firms with their obligations.In Guyana's case, SARA is said to be investigating the award of concessions in the Canje Block offshore Guyana to JHI, Mid-Atlantic Oil and Gas, and Ratio Energy in March 2015, a few months before the national elections.JHI Associates Inc (JHI) and Mid-Atlantic Oil and Gas Inc (MOGI), in a joint statement issued recently, made it clear that when they acquired the Canje Block, it was very much a high-risk investment on their part.According to the companies, negotiations for the Canje Block began in March 2013, with the Canje Block licence itself being awarded on March 4, 2015 – before it was announced that explorer ExxonMobil struck oil."On May 20, 2015, the Liza-1 well was announced as a 'significant discovery'. Over 40 wells had been drilled offshore in the Guyana-Suriname Basin prior to Liza-1, and none encountered commercial quantities of oil or gas," the joint statement had said.The companies also confirmed that despite the fact that they are in the centre of SARA's investigation, they have not been contacted by the agency. In addition, SARA has not contacted them to request any information."Neither company has been notified of any pending investigations into the award of the licence for the Canje Block. Both companies welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with duly authorised agencies of the Government of Guyana at any time," the joint statement had added.Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo had also welcomed the probe but contended that it cannot be independently and impartially carried out by SARA."…if the Government wants to do that, the Government should hire a solid international firm with a reputation and not have Clive Thomas do this, who is a member of their party," Jagdeo had posited.Head of SARA, ProfessorClive ThomasDirector General of theMinistry of the PresidencyJoseph Harmon read more

Province to transition to a new gambling regulator to fight money laundering
The Province has started working to modernize the Gaming Control Act and aims to introduce the IGCO in spring 2021. The Province says the IGCO will focus exclusively on regulatory policy matters related to gambling, horse racing and responsible-gambling programs. VICTORIA, B.C. – The Government of British Columbia has announced that it is taking action against money laundering by transitioning the Province's gambling regulator and providing it with greater independence to set and enforce regulatory gambling policy. – Advertisement -This change addresses concerns raised in Peter German's Dirty Money report, which highlighted that decisions about regulatory gambling policy should be made separately from decisions about revenue generation. According to the Government, through amendments to the Gaming Control Act, the Province's gambling regulator, the Gaming Control and Enforcement Branch, will be transitioned to the new Independent Gambling Control Office. read more
Manchester City playmaker returns to training
By admin | January 3, 2020 | Comments 0 Comment
Manchester City playmaker David Silva has returned to training, the club have reported.Silva looked to have been seriously injured on Sunday when he was caught in the face by an elbow from West Ham's Cheikhou Kouyate.The Spain international received around eight minutes of treatment on the field at the Etihad Stadium before being carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital for examination.But tests revealed the 29-year-old had suffered no fractures and the club were hopeful he could make swift return to action.That could now be possible with Silva pictured giving cameras a thumbs-up gesture as he returned to training on Tuesday, although he will continue to be monitored this week.City face FA Cup finalists Aston Villa in their next Barclays Premier League game on Saturday evening.News of Silva's recovery is a boost for manager Manuel Pellegrini given the club's already lengthy injury list.Captain Vincent Kompany is out with a groin injury and might not be fit to return before the end of the season.Midfielder James Milner, defender Gael Clichy and strikers Wilfried Bony and Stevan Jovetic were also sidelined for the 2-0 win over the Hammers. 1 David Silva in action for Manchester City read more

She gets to check out cars – for pay
AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MORECoach Doc Rivers a "fan" from way back of Jazz's Jordan ClarksonThe 20-year-old previously worked in clothing retail for two years. Ace is currently studying kinesiology at California State University, Long Beach, and plans to become a high school P.E. teacher. What does your job entail? We receive the vehicles from the transporters and make sure there's no damage. We check out the VIN numbers and stock numbers and make sure we got the right cars. We enter the vehicles into our computer system. We clean them up before they go on our front lot. And if customers are getting something done in our service department, we shuttle them to their home. What's the biggest part of your day? The inventory associate is one of the least-known jobs in the automotive retail industry. These professionals spend more time interacting with the vehicles on the lot than with the customers. After two weeks as a saleswoman at the CarMax in Torrance, Brittany Ace went from selling cars to keeping track of them. She became an inventory associate. The position had more flexible hours to allow her to go to school. The Inglewood resident has been in her new position for about a month. Receiving cars from the transporters. CarMax has a 125-point inspection, and we do the last part, making sure there's no cosmetic problems with the vehicle or anything else that may need attention. What's the biggest problem you've found while inspecting a vehicle? Nothing much because of all the inspections done before. Maybe a scratch on the back of the trunk or a stain. How long does it take to process a vehicle? To process one car from the truck to the front lot, I would say, maybe 45 minutes to an hour. Are some vehicles harder to process than others? Some of the SUVs, when you have to check the top of the cars. But with repetition, you get the eye for it. What's the nicest car you've processed? I'd have to say a Porsche 911. That's another bonus, driving nice cars I otherwise wouldn't be driving. Have you ever had an accident while processing a vehicle? I have not. I'm so proud of that. I haven't had an accident in sales or inventory so far. I hope I don't jinx myself. What's a big challenge you face on the job? Since I am new, just trying to navigate the computer programs. But it's coming to me pretty quickly. What's the best part of your job? The freedom. I get instructions for the day, and it's up to me to get things done. And I love my co-workers. What's the worst part? Being outside in the cold. We have scarves and gloves in the morning because we can be out here at 7 in the morning. They have no heat in the final quality-inspection zone. Do you have much contact with customers? Not as much as when I was in sales. But I don't mind that. Sometimes I like to come to work, get what I need to get done and not have to worry about that. Any funny job-related stories you want to share? We have a lot of fun out there when we clean up the cars. We have the radio on and there's some singing. What do you sing? Whatever's playing. Since it's Christmas, a lot of carols have been playing. So "Jingle Bells" and "Santa's Coming to Town." When the music is going, do you ever start dancing? Yes. It comes naturally. What kind of dancing? Just the vibe. We're not, like, flat-out dancing eight-counts. What kind of music do you like outside of work? I listen to everything. You could catch me listening to rock and rap, R&B, the oldies. Have you ever thought of trying out for "American Idol"? I did think about it two years ago. But it was in San Diego and that was too far away. So I'll keep it to the shower. A shower singer. That's what I am. muhammed.el-hasan@dailybreeze.com 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations!

Karl Lacey: Perfectionist, pure footballer and one of Donegal's best ever
Karl Lacey studied himself and the game he played more than most.The Donegal town man went way beyond the cones and balls that littered the training fields during a Donegal career that spanned 14 seasons, 148 appearances and a haul of honours that eclipses anyone who wore the green and gold before him.Lacey won two of his four All-Stars before Jim McGuinness's would take Donegal, its people and its football into a different world. His first two All-Stars, in 2006 and 2009, were during years when he gained a reputation as being one of the meanest man-markers in the game.Lacey was a perfectionist.He is perhaps best remembered for 2012. That year's Player of the Year, Lacey could have a showreel of his own from the year of years – when he was the GAA Player of the Year.The clinching point against Kerry; making his 100th Donegal appearance in the semi-final win over Cork; the on-the-money arrow that found the paws of Michael Murphy for the time-stand-still goal in the final; or that moment, when Maurice Deegan shrilled the final whistle in the final and the ball was in the arms of Donegal's classy number 6. Lacey, spent by having to play six games in 22 days with his club, Four Masters, would need hip surgery late in 2012.A remarkable record of 41 consecutive appearances in Championship football was over when Donegal overcame Down in the 2013 Ulster semi-final.A mark of just how meticulous Lacey was came in 2014.Donegal headed for Derry and a possible banana skin on the road to redemption. But McGuinness was at work and Lacey was back in the groove again.Karl Lacey and Paul Durcan, Donegal celebrate after the 2012 Ulster finalLacey was Man of the Match as Donegal defeated the Oak Leaf but as he recalled one incident in the game he described himself as 'absolutely disgusted'. Lacey had been given the task of marking Mark Lynch. Back from whence he came in his formative years with Donegal.Lynch managed a point in the 63rd minute and despite being named as the afternoon's top performer, Lacey – Donegal's Mr Consistent – wasn't impressed.It genuinely weighed him down."Thankfully it didn't have an impact on the game," he said. "The main thing is keeping an eye on my man. Mark Lynch got a point near the end of the game – I was absolutely disgusted with that. "It's just about trying not to let the boys down. You do your own job well and build on from that."At the time, Lacey was a student at University of Limerick where he was studying for a Masters in Sports Performance. Lacey loved the learning and the challenge to keep improving.A dispossession of Niall Holly that afternoon in Celtic Park – starting a move that would end in a point by Anthony Thompson – was Karl Lacey at his finest.And it was a moment, too, that illustrated a player who'd worked hard on perfecting an ancient art."When you're a defender, you need to know how to tackle," he remembered later."In training over the last few years it's something that I have focussed more on in drills. I focus on the tackle a lot. Yeah, it's something that I'm always working on. It's not perfect, but I work hard at it."It is key now because every team has free takers who can pop over scores from 50-55 metres and you've 'keepers coming up now who are every bit as accurate as the forwards. The way I see it, if you aren't conceding frees with the tackles the less chance there is of conceding a score."Lacey's discipline was remarkably faultless for a man who spent many of his days shadowing some of the country's most feared forwards. With Lacey at their shoulder, the fear was redirected.Lacey – one of his former manager's most trusted lieutenants – was described by McGuinness as a 'Rolls Royce of defender' and Martin McHugh reckoned he was 'a pure footballer'.It was certainly lofty praise from The Wee Man.Debate will rage for a generation on just who is or was Donegal's best ever.It is an impossible argument that has no right or wrong, but Lacey's pitch would be almost watertight.To see him at his best was a privilege we perhaps only realised as his participation levels deteriorated in more recent times.Lacey rarely did interviews, but they were always worthwhile when he did address the Fourth Estate. Lacey was engaging, intelligent and articulate. A career in coaching will beckon for a man now employed by Letterkenny Institute of Technology and who has already begun to impart his wisdom on a future batch of Donegal footballers.Lacey did his work experience for his Masters at Arsenal FC and every second of his time at London Colney, the club's training ground, will have been used.When Lacey returned from a holiday in 2012, he opened many letters, but one in particular stood out.Lacey is a lifelong Arsenal man who was in the State de France to watch the 2006 Champions League final, which Arsenal lost 2-1 against Barcelona and he received a signed letter from Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, following Donegal's All-Ireland win.Lacey had always been a star-in-the-making, but under McGuinness he took off. Many wonder what might have been had Lacey – deliberately targeted and subsequently injured during the game – not been forced off injured in the 2011 All-Ireland semi-final loss to Dublin in 2011.Those who knew him weren't surprised by his rise.Enda Nolan remembers the days before Karl Lacey's name was lit in lights at national level.Nolan managed Lacey at club level for six at underage level and nurtured that unique talent from his days with the under 12s to the minor grade.Even then, Lacey stood out."He was very dedicated and put in a lot of self-practice. His skill level was always top drawer," Nolan recalled in 2012."He was predominantly right footed, but he practiced religiously with his left foot in his own time. Once a week or twice a week in training you just don't get the time for that sort of development.Karl Lacey after the 2014 All-Ireland final defeat to Kerry"Karl was a great leader too and the way he applied himself in matches inspired players even at that level."He remembered vividly an Under-14 game against Naomh Columba in Fintra when Lacey nullified Glen's main man, Gary Kennedy."Karl really put on a show that night – them going man-to-man was a great spectacle," Nolan said.Inter-county forwards will sleep a little easier this winter knowing those white boots won't be laced up again in 2018.In Donegal, they are boots that can neither be filled nor replaced.Karl Lacey and Michael Murphy with the Sam Maguire Cup after Donegal win the All-Ireland in 2012Karl Lacey: Perfectionist, pure footballer and one of Donegal's best ever was last modified: September 3rd, 2017 by Chris McNultyShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:2012 All-Ireland SFC finalDonegal Townfour mastersJim McGuinnesskarl laceyLetterkenny Institute of TechnologyLYITMartin McHughMichael Murphy read more

Did Microsoft Azure's Approach to Marketing Help Its Company's Quarter?
It's rewarding to see a company succeed — especially when they're considered an underdog in their respective industry. Microsoft, for example, is a quintessential comeback story in the tech industry. It was the tech industry leader for decades until being supplanted agile companies, like Google and Apple, that were more capable of adapting to a digital age.
Today, the organization is back near the top. It's now the world's fourth-most valuable company, nipping on Alphabet's heels (in May it even surpassed the Google conglomerate) and just had an excellent earnings report.
What gives? Well, a lot of hard work from dedicated employees and key investments in critical areas, such as the company's cloud platform, Microsoft Azure. Azure, in fact, is one of the prime drivers behind the company's growth spurt. Its cloud platform is so successful that it's growing faster than Amazon's AWS. That's serious pipeline.
To us, we can't help but think that Microsoft Azure's marketing efforts played a critical role in an organization's overall success. While the tech giant possesses the funds to buy their way into a market, the company's ethos — and practicality — demanded it takes a long-term, ground-up approach to marketing that informs customers, trains partners and provides sales with the insights they need — and do so quickly. It's a traditional, well-oiled global demand generation machine refined for the modern era and it works. Trust us, we've seen it in action.
