The first few weeks of 2018 were nothing short of utter chaos. They were messy and full and complicated and frustrating and, quite frankly, exhausting. My mind grew more and more tangled and knotted up, resulting in radio silence here on the blog. It's hard to put out new content when there's such an overload being shoved in your brain that you can't quite organize it all. But at the same time, writing is how I process, so when I can't/don't write, it just seems to make things worse.
There were quite a few moments in the first few weeks of January where I found myself sitting in the middle of my bedroom floor, staring at the ground, not quite knowing what to do next. Usually when I get overwhelmed, I feel like I do an okay job of barreling through, but this time around I thought I was going to go crazy. It just felt like one thing after another, an assault of genuine insanity and stress and chaos that didn't seem to have an end in sight.
but the sun will rise, and we will try again.
Twenty-One Pilots always seems to know what to say. Over and over again, day after day, that line kept popping into my head. The sun will rise, and we will try again. The thing about life is that anything going on can only last for so long. Good or bad, life is a constant cycle of change, and with every new day, there's a new chance for things to look up a bit.
It doesn't always feel that way in the moment, but it's true. Even in the night, there's always the slightest sparkle of a star. There's that moment of falling asleep in the darkness and waking up to the ground covered in freshly fallen snow.
the sun will rise, and we will try again.
The beginning of the month may have had a bit of a rough start, but goodness gracious, is the sun rising. Even amidst chaos, there are so many blessings, and I think that's the most encouraging part about it. It's crazy to look and see how messy things were a few weeks ago, and then to be able to look the ridiculously amazing things that have happened just in the past week. Life is such a constant ebb and flow, and when you finally find the streams in the desert, it's the most wonderful feeling.
So, I guess that's the point of all of this rambling. Just to remind you that even if things look pretty crappy where you are currently, you're not going to be stuck in that forever. You might be there longer than you'd like, but it will grow you, and you'll come out of it and find yourself somewhere that you never dreamed of making it to. Tomorrow, the sun will rise, and you will try again. And you'll keep trying, every day after that, until you blink and the bright blue of the sky finally breaks through.
The sun's going to keep rising. And we're going to keep trying.
Let's do this, friends. Let's tackle February head on. God's got us. Let's do it.

Schmeelk's NBA Draft Preview: Knicks' Options At No. 24
By John Schmeelk
» More Columns
Earlier this week, we talked about the Knicks' needs in this year's draft. Today we'll take a look at their options when they select at No. 24.
I believe the Knicks are willing to move the pick, though finding a match could be tough. They could reacquire someone like Kostas Papanikolaou, but to deal a first rounder for someone taken in the second round seems silly, even if the Knicks get a second-round pick back in the deal. Packaging the pick with Steve Novak or Marcus Camby for a decent veteran appears unrealistic.
Their target should be:
Tony Mitchell: For once, I agree with the much-rumored selection for the Knicks at No. 24. He's a good fit for the team and provides athleticism, talent, an NBA-ready body (6-foot-9, 236 pounds) and a very high ceiling at a position of need. He'll provide defense and rebounding help right away and can finish around the basket. He's exactly the type of athlete the Knicks were missing last year. This would be the perfect scenario for New York since Mitchell could play right away and develop into an impact starter down the road.
Backup plans at forward: Sergey Karasev, Giannis Adetokunbo (a real project) and Reggie Bullock (pray for him to fall) are all small forwards and should be off the board.
That leaves:
Glen Rice Jr: He is a good athlete and can rebound, play defense and do things around the basket. But he is inconsistent with his jumper and many think he is a small forward in a shooting guard's body. Whether he can play small forward in the NBA at 6-foot-6 is a fair question.
The Knicks could also choose to protect themselves at point guard and shooting guard if Pablo Prigioni and/or J.R. Smith decide to leave. Shane Larkin would be perfect as a backup point guard for the Knicks but the chance he falls to 24th overall are slim to none.
The Knicks will likely be left to choose from:
Isaiah Canaan: He's a great athlete and can penetrate, but this Murray State alumni has a shoot-first mentality. That's not what the Knicks need out of their point guard position.
Nate Wolters: He had to be a more of a scorer at South Dakota State but many believe he showed the skills to be a pass-first distributor. He has size at 6-foot-5 and can shoot the ball extremely well. The big question is whether he has the athleticism and lateral quickness to get to the basket and defend. Many project him as a second-round pick, so taking him at 24 might be a bit of a reach, but I think he fits.
The Knicks have more options at shooting guard where they have a huge variety of guys to choose from:
Jamaal Franklin: This guy did everything for San Diego State last year, and brings a versatile game to the NBA. He is 6-foot-5 but has a 6-foot-11 wingspan. The big knock on him is his inconsistent jumper. He could probably get away with playing some small forward in the NBA.
Tim Hardaway Jr.: He is polished and can shoot the basketball. Hardaway is a good athlete and can defend his position adequately, but some wonder if he can ever be more than a shooter. Struggles creating his own shot and getting to the rim.
Tony Snell: He has great length at 6-foot-7 with 7-foot wingspan and could probably play some SF in the NBA as well. He can catch and shoot and defend with his body type, but he doesn't do much else offensively. He was also very inconsistent at New Mexico.
Allen Crabbe: A good shooter and scorer but he lacks the athleticism you like to see out of a two-guard.
Ricky Ledo: He never played a game of college basketball after the NCAA made him ineligible. He was a great scorer in high school and has great athleticism. But he is a huge risk guy that would be a reach.
If the Knicks decide Camby is toast and go big, there are a number of safer picks available. Both Kelly Olynyk (who is ready as an offensive player) and Mason Plumlee (who is a great athlete at power forward) will likely be gone when the Knicks pick.
These bigs could be there:
Gorgui Deng: A guy that can really defend, block shots and rebound but he is very raw offensively. His improving mid-range jumper could make him stick in the NBA. People also rave about his screening.
Jeff Whithey: He is a legit 7-footer that is all about defense and rebounding. He averaged nearly four blocks a game in college, and that skill should be able to translate to the NBA. Unless he finds a way to be a factor on offense I'm not sure he will ever be much more than 15-20 minute a game defensive center. Should be on the board for the Knicks at 24.
Rudy Gobert: He is very tall, long and young. That is the best thing to say about someone who is very raw as a basketball player. Stay away.
So where do the Knicks go if they are at 24, and Tony Mitchell isn't on the board? Who should they pick?
This is my final order after Mitchell (assuming the guys I think will be off the board will indeed be gone): Jamaal Franklin, Glen Rice Jr., Tim Hardaway Jr., Ricky Ledo, Tony Snell, Nate Wolters, Gorgui Deng, Jeff Whithey, and Allen Crabbe.
If Mitchell is off the board, however, and only the above seven are left, I would have no issue with the Knicks trading down. It's not a great draft but there is depth from 15-24, and the Knicks desperately need to take advantage of it. It's one of the few ways they can improve this offseason.

Marcus Luttrell, the former Navy SEAL behind the book "Lone Survivor," has a great idea to quickly fix the issues currently facing the Department of Veterans Affairs: Make U.S. senators go through the VA to get their medical care.
"If you had to put people, Senators — if they had to go for their V.A. to get care, it would probably get fixed," Luttrell said on "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning.
He also suggested a more realistic solution to address the inadequate care some of the nation's veterans are currently receiving.
Rather than being thrown into the VA system, he said every combat veteran who is in need of medical care should be given a government-issued card that provides coverage in the private health care system — "no questions asked."

The RRA report presents clear and practical steps to maximise the country's use of renewables in driving sustainable socio-economic growth.
This collection aims to provide a reference for policy makers and practitioners working to scale up bioenergy in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Energy, agriculture, forestry, environment, finance and business experts all seek for solutions to provide energy and also enhance food security, social welfare and environmental sustainability.
This study aims to estimate the potential for sustainable bioenergy production in Africa through such systems, based on the evaluation of yields for 15 short-rotation woody crops.
The historic Paris climate agreement, adopted by countries around the world in December 2015, aims to the rise of global temperature well below 2 degrees Celsius. Renewable energy will play a key role in this effort, which encompasses developing as well as developed countries, by increasing the supply of cheap and accessible energy in a less carbon-intensive manner.
Sustainable biofuels have an important role to play in Africa's development. Sugarcane bioethanol is currently the most cost-effective commercial biofuel and has the highest energy balance.
The report discusses challenges in policy making and proposes a co-ordinated effort to collect data on the installed costs of solar PV in Africa, across all market segments to improve the efficiency of policy support and accelerate deployment.
A ground-breaking study from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the US-based Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) identifies zones for cost-effective, equitable and environmentally sustainable energy development with wind, solar photovoltaic, and concentrating solar power in the countries of the Eastern and Southern African power pools.
African countries need to meet fast-growing energy demand and extend modern energy services to more communities while also improving people's health and ensuring long-term sustainability. The continent could meet nearly a quarter of its energy needs through the use of indigenous, clean, renewable energy by 2030, according to this report by the International Renewable...

Coaching for visionary coaches and creators
Discover Your Own Unique Expression and What Really Matters to You
Find Your Balance • Become the Authority of Your Life • Make a Difference
You shouldn't have to compromise.
I know that you want freedom – to be liberated from the exhausting and confining conditioning that keeps you from being who you naturally are. In order to do that, you need to find your rhythm that connects who you truly are with achieving your goals and dreams. You've likely tried everything that comes recommended by others, and yet something is still out of sync, which leaves you in an almost constant state of dissatisfaction.
Are You Feeling as Free, Fulfilled and Alive as You Sense You Could Be?
Hi there, I'm Nat!
I support visionary coaches and creators to discover and embrace their unique expression of freedom, aliveness and significance.
Discovering Your Unique Expression Isn't Complicated
- Schedule a Call – A free 45-minute conversation to get clear on what really matters to you.
- Discuss what feels right for you
- Navigate your life and work with self-trust and deep satisfaction
"I'm extraordinarily selective about the coaches I work with and recommend. I consider Nat to be at the top of my list of those who are truly gifted coaches. Working one-one-one with Nat was so incredibly foundational for me in developing skills and tools that help me, still, everyday.
Most significantly, I'm able to easily find my sense of peace, my grounding center, when I need it most. When I feel out of sorts, unclear, off, anxious, stressed or panicked, even. I'm able to make decisions with deeper confidence, trust my internal process, and step into taking action in ways I've stayed in great limbo before. I have freed up a lot of mental real estate to spend on things now that bring me much more satisfaction, instead of worry.
His Bold Aliveness Model is amazing and astute. It's been key for me to understand the difference between my conditioned states of being versus my natural states of being. And now I have the framework I need to stay within my natural states of being whenever I start to feel pulled out.
All of this has been such a gift to my coaching business, my entrepreneurial ventures and my personal life as well. I highly recommend working with Nat. He's a game changer."
Stacy Christopher
Why Work with Me?
It's common to lose ourselves in daily life, and I believe everyone deserves to get back in touch with who they truly are.
See, most of us have learned to believe in the things that we get from other people who are successful in ways that we want to be. We make those things- their things – more important than our inner knowing or our connection to ourselves. We may be successful, but we struggle daily internally.
I know exactly how frustrating it is to find your balance. I've been there. I had gotten so used to disregarding that part of me that is always telling me whether or not something is going to work for me – I didn't trust myself. I was giving authority to other people, often sacrificing my own needs and desires. It was exhausting, which is why I am now dedicated to coaching others to discover their own balance and what really matters to them.
My hope is that you can stop doubting yourself, and instead feel confident in living freely and successfully as yourself.
"Nat's wisdom and insights were incredibly helpful in identifying patterns in my life that prevented me from embodying the fullest expression of myself.
Nat helped me identify all the hidden places where I put too much pressure on myself – ways I wouldn't let myself relax. This awareness was a game changer. It shifted the way I relate to myself, my family, and my teaching. I learned ways to more thoroughly love myself, ways to identify when I got off track, and most importantly, how to bring myself back to wholeness.
I now feel more joy, less stress and even more vibrancy in all aspects of my life. Nat is very gifted at this work and I'm incredibly grateful I had the opportunity to work with him! If you have the chance to collaborate with this unique and very special person, you won't regret it."

Last night (4/2/17) I had the thrill of seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band perform live in Melbourne.
The venue, the relatively new AAMI Park, is one I have not been to before, but is a football stadium (soccer and rugby) that is also used as a live music venue every so often. It has a distinctive rectangular design and the roof, that partially covers the arena, looks like a bunch of soccer balls loaded one on top each other, shrouds the structure.
The concert began in broad daylight (doors opened at 4.00pm) with two support acts entertaining the early arrivals, before Bruce Springsteen kicked off his show at around 7.45pm.
As we had reserved seats, we took our time getting there, dining first at the Corner Hotel in Swan Street, Richmond.
From there is was only a short walk to the stadium in Olympic Boulevard, and we caught some of support act, Jet's show, from our seats on the floor, a fair way back from the stage.
Cameras were forbidden so I didn't mind being at a remove, watching the show on the big screens, to the left and right and above centre stage.
Bruce Springsteen is renowned as one of the best live acts in the world, and I can appreciate why. He was indefatigable, practically playing non stop over three hours, ably supported by the wonderful E Street Band who comprised:
Bruce Springsteen (guitar, vocals)
Stevie Van Zandt (guitar, vocals)
Souzie Tyrell (violin, vocals)
Max Weinberg (drums)
Gary Tallent (bass)
Roy Bittan (piano)
Nils Lofgren (guitar)
Charles Giordano (organ keyboards, accordion)
Jake Clemens (saxophone)
Springsteen is adored by his fans and he reciprocates the devotion warmly, interacting personally with them, shaking hands and allowing certain lucky fans to climb on stage for a five minutes of fame song and/or dance. Banners seem to be the go if you're down the front in mosh pit; the camera catching the signs requesting songs, or wishes to sing or dance with Bruce and the band.
It was high powered set encompassing 27 songs, with rockers and slower ballads in the mix.
As daylight faded to night, above the open air arena you could see fruit bats flying over and white birds wheeling above. And towards the end of the show fireworks were detonated off to the side outside the arena with sparks and streaks of light appearing above the top edge of the stadium.
As this was the first time I'd seen Bruce Springsteen live, I was impressed and enjoyed hearing old classics such as Born To Run, Dancing In The Dark , Hungry Heart, Glory Days in person.
I'd certainly consider going to see Bruce and his E Street Band again.

Prime Minister Of Australia Sees No Problem With Medical Cannabis
Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has thrown his support behind the legalization of cannabis for medical purposes.
In a letter to talkback radio host Alan Jones, Mr Abbott wrote "I have no problem with the medical use of cannabis, just as I have no problem with the medical use of opiates…If a drug is needed for a valid medicinal purpose though and is being administered safely there should be no question of its legality."
Jones read out the letter from Mr Abbott – who has not commented publicly on the issue before – on his 2GB breakfast program on Wednesday. The influential presenter has been campaigning on behalf of 24-year-old Dan Haslam, who has been using cannabis to relieve nausea associated with chemotherapy to treat his terminal cancer.
A spokeswoman for Mr Abbott confirmed the letter reflected Mr Abbott's views on the issue.

Dendreon has all the ingredients of a Hollywood thriller: Life and death on the line. Millions of dollars at stake. Fast money in the stock market. Cutting-edge technology that aspires to achieve the impossible.
The Seattle biotech company (NASDAQ: DNDN) has gone through a riveting set of twists and turns over the past two years, and the story may reach its climax within weeks. One day this month, Dendreon plans to rip off the blind from a clinical trial that it hopes will offer convincing proof that its experimental drug helps men with terminal forms of prostate cancer live longer, with minimal side effects.
If this trial of 500 men is successful, Dendreon will dash off to the FDA for permission to start selling this product, called Provenge, in the U.S., possibly by the end of this year. Analysts will rhapsodize about a new drug with $1 billion annual sales potential. Scientists will talk about a new paradigm of cancer treatment that stimulates the immune system to fight cancer cells like a virus. Patient advocates will cheer, as about 30,000 men in the U.S. who die of prostate cancer each year will have a new kind of treatment option. Dendreon stock will rocket from its current plateau of a little more than $4 to more than $20 a share, says Seattle-based biotech analyst David Miller.
If the trial fails, though, things will get ugly. Layoffs will likely follow, and the company's promising immune-therapy technology will probably go on the back burner. Dendreon will likely fall back on a more conventional small-molecule pill for cancer that's just entering clinical trials and has years to go before proving its worth. People will be inclined to write off the whole field, given that Dendreon would join a growing list of companies that failed to live up to the promise of cancer vaccines, including Cell Genesys, Genitope, and Favrille.
If there are shades of gray in the Dendreon data, all bets are off.
"We are going to see fireworks," Miller says.
Like any good story, Dendreon's tale has a beginning, a middle, and an end (which we haven't quite gotten to yet). The company was founded in 1992, formed out of technology from Stanford University. From the start, it had a powerful pull on the imagination of scientists, doctors, patients, investors, and journalists. I first started following Dendreon in 2001 while at The Seattle Times.
Dendreon has worked all those years, and burned through more than $563 million of investor money, to develop its active immunotherapy, or cancer vaccine, technology. It doesn't work like a traditional chemotherapy … Next Page »
By posting a comment, you agree to our terms and conditions.
This will be one of the more interesting days in biotech in 2009. I expect the conference room in Chicago where the data are to be presented to be absolutely packed.
David Miller
Hussain – if I remember – had a conflict of interest as he was involved in support of a competing prostate drug – and his vote was detrimental in the approval process.
With the deepest respect to Eric Newland …
(a) Dr. Hussain is a "she", not a "he" and she has been involved in clinical research on nearly every significant prostate cancer drug that is or has recently been in development. That's her job. She's a specialized clinical researcher in prostate cancer! That's not a conflict of interest. That IS her interest, and I have profound respect for her integrity.
(b) More than half the panel at the CBER hearings had conflicts of interest because their future research funding was tied to the development of immunotherapeutics for treatment of cancer (but no one seems to recognize that that might bias their opinions). Mr Timmerman has pointed out in his article that one member of the panel did effectively admit that after the meeting.
What will be the extended life expectancy as a result of using Provenge and what will be its costs?
Another company betting the Easter egg basket on Prostate Cancer…
I know the Federal Govt. is looking at these expensive treatments, that, at best increase life-span by a few months…
will DNDN succeed in spite of itself? lol history tells me to bet against it. The company has issues, even if the science does not. Everything since they FDA shot them down has been last bid attempts to salvage stock market value, asking for another recount, if you will. They are snake oil IMHO.
Interesting article in the WSJ:
nice summary but for a necessary correction:
The interim analysis penalized hurdle of success for the upcoming final anlaysis of the ongoing IMPACT trial is a 22% improvement in median survival.

I'm hiding in the guest room. Don't tell anyone where I am.
I've been so caught up in my own world of writing and perpetual spring cleaning that I failed to notice that it's President's Day is coming up which means it's a three-day weekend, which actually is a four-day weekend because that's how the Boulder Valley School District rolls. They love tacking on that extra day.
This reality hit hard last night as I considered myself half way through my stations of the cross as a stay-at-home-mom. Not so fast. Then I went to a naughty post-Valentine's Day party where the entertainment was 70's porn on constant loop. I've seen my fair share of porn but never in a room full of people. I kept trying to position my view away from the TV because that shit is like a train wreck, you kinda have to look. Then you end up talking about it and I don't want to talk about porn sex with random people. I'm turning into a fuddy-duddy. It put me in a awkward, un-sexy place. Then I came home to the kids locked in one of the worst arguments I've ever witnessed.
I'm on a good whine now!
It was purely caterwauling but they were both so amped that it took a while to calm them down so they could sleep. Then I had a really sad dream and woke up and told Zeb about it and he didn't have a thing to say. No, "That's a bummer," or "Geez, I hate it when I have that dream," or anything. Not one thing, and I just felt alone. It's common that guys don't give a shit about dreams but I do. I think dreams are fascinating and this one was (kind of) about him so he better listen up!
Anyway, I'm feeling bummed out. There's stuff on the porch that people said they'd pick up but never did, stuff that people have contacted me about because it was unsatisfactory (really? it was practically free) and I wonder why I'm doing this. Why do I bother to make stuff available to people, to recycle, upcycle, freecycle, gift and donate? Why don't I just chuck it all into the trash and be done rather than trying to do the right thing?
My house is totally bombed out, there is stuff everywhere rather than crammed into boxes and under the bed and out of sight where I can pretend my life is perfect. Instead there it all is, right there for me to deal with. Right out in the open.
Then JT emails me that he will be down to 100 items by March 1st and I'm psyched for him but feeling futile about my own odds. Granted, he doesn't live with his kids and wife, but still. I've crossed the 2000 item mark and I feel nowhere nearer to a transformed home and life. I'm certainly not almost two-thirds there.
So now I'm hiding the in the guest-room. Away from the kids, away from the constant work that my house is, away from all my issues staring at me … I love this room, there is nothing that needs to be done in here. I redecorated it to be a short-term rental and it's perfect. It's not one of those guest rooms where the bed is buried and the exercycle is ignored in the corner … because it's in my bed room. I wistfully commented to Zeb, "Why can't our whole house be like this?" and he (quite insightfully) replied, "Because no one lives in it." True, but my house is so lived in that there isn't any room for me.
I'm gonna keep plugging away. In an act of defiance I cleared the porch and hauled everything that has been languishing in limbo to Zeb's car so he can donate it on his next thrift store run. The hell with freecycle, I'm tired. I need some breathing room. I'm going to stay up here until I hear either crying or silence.
These are martini glasses we donated to the party last night (there are actually six of them). Also out the door was a lovely pair of heels I haven't worn since before I had kids (and don't fit anymore) some Christmas beads (trash) and two pillows I've retired from my rental. That's 10.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Back in the spring, when I asked Mathias Kiwanuka if he agreed with the way Darrelle Revis and the rest of the Jets' big four were handling their contract squabbles, the Giants' defensive end said he couldn't argue with their taking such a strong approach.
Kiwanuka then hinted he had considered such tactics himself, so I had to ask him if he had thought about a holdout as well.
"I haven't made a final decision on it," Kiwanuka replied. "I haven't ruled it out, but I haven't decided to go that way yet."
I never got the sense Kiwanuka was leaning that way, just that he was considering it. I'll say maybe 75-25 against it at best.
When Kiwanuka was on the field for Sunday's conditioning test, it was clear what his final decision was. And it was the one I expected. Still, I stopped Kiwanuka for a few minutes today to ask how he had come to his final decision. I didn't tape the conversation, so I won't quote him here.
But I can tell you Kiwanuka said he talked with his agent and decided a holdout would not be the best approach to take. He's obviously frustrated with his situation because he could be negotiating a long-term extension with the Giants, but he said he understands the team has a reputation for taking care of players when the players take care of them – and when the organization can do something about it.
|Kiwanuka in rotating defensive ends: It's gotta work
In this case, with the uncapped year, the Giants are handcuffed by their ability to increase Kiwanuka's yearly salary ($1.776 million this season) in an extension by only 30 percent per season. So if they wanted to extend him, they could only give him a fair deal by including an enormous signing bonus – something they're reluctant to do because it would guarantee the greater portion of the deal.
Kiwanuka understands all of this. And he's certainly not alone. Wide receiver Steve Smith, who is scheduled to earn only $550k in base salary this year, is in the same boat. Both would love a new deal but know it's not in the cards right now. And even if it were, there might be a better contract for them after this whole CBA thing is eventually settled.
Bottom line: Kiwanuka is here and says he's focused on football, not money. He knows his contract situation will take care of itself in due time, whether it's next year, the following year, here or elsewhere.

OL Kevin Boothe is three months into a four-month rehab process for a torn pectoral muscle that occurred while he was bench pressing in May. Boothe, who underwent surgery to repair the injury, said he's doing pushups and lifting weights but is not back to benching yet.
Boothe expects to resume football activities early next month. He's currently listed on the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list. He can come off at any point before the start of the season, but if he's on there Week 1, he must stay on there for six weeks at least. If Boothe is close to returning, the Giants might just activate him; if not, they can stash him on PUP and pick up an extra roster spot.
But the fact he's still here says a lot about what they think of him as a versatile reserve.
"They don't have to" keep him, Boothe acknowledged. "All I can do now is recover and assess where I'm at after that, focus on is getting back as fast as I can and getting back healthy. … I think it's healing fast, but maybe that's me. I just have to listen to what the trainers say and get back out there as soon as possible."

Speaking of injured linemen, C Shaun O'Hara said he was as surprised as the media he was out of practice Monday morning.
"I felt good running yesterday and the next thing we knew there was some fluid and swelling," he said. "I'm just kind of taking it easy right now and trying to get some of that out. We want to make sure we're being smart about it and (resting is) the best thing."

To those around him, Jaylen Ray Fryberg seemed like a normal high school freshman. He was well liked and happy, played on the football team and had recently been crowned Homecoming Prince. Around family, friends and classmates, Fryberg gave off the impression that he was a typical, upbeat teen.
That's why those who knew him were shocked to learn that Fryberg entered his high school cafeteria and opened fire on his classmates, killing one before taking his own life. That was not the Fryberg they knew.
But only after the tragic events of his death was another side of Fryberg revealed — through his Twitter account. The happy, friendly disposition that Fryberg gave off during in-person contact was starkly different than the way he appeared on Twitter. In the weeks leading up to the shooting, Fryberg's Twitter feed was filled with disturbing updates where he openly expressed anger, sadness and aggression.
While his page was filled with updates that clearly indicated the teenager was going through something really troubling, no one realized this until it was too late. Fryberg's tragedy reminds us just how important it is for parents to connect with their children in their social media worlds in order to see all sides and spot problems early on.
Looks for Signs of Distress that May Not Be Visible In Real Life
Friends said the Fryberg they saw in person and the Fryberg they saw on Twitter seemed like two different people. On the day of his ominous final tweet, ("it won't last…. It'll never last…."), one of his classmates said that Frybeg was "all fine" at football practice that day.
As parents, we need to realize that how our kids act in front of us may not tell their full story. We need to keep our eyes open to underlying issues and use social media as a window into what our kids are really thinking and feeling.
Remember That Your Kids May Have More Than One Account on the Same Platform
It's easy to set up multiple usernames on the same social media platform. So be mindful of this when reviewing your child's account. If you notice that they are not active on the account you know about, ask them if they are using another. Pay attention to their friends and notice if they are tagging or communicating with your child at another username.
Check the Direct Messages To and From Your Child
Not all social media is public. Remember to check private messages that your child is sending and receiving. Look for communication that could be hurtful to both parties. Stopping your child from sending hurtful messages to other children is also part of your job in protecting your child from dangerous situations.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late — Connect to Your Child's Social Media Life Now
As a parent, you should connect to all of your child's social media accounts and regularly monitor how they are using those sites. You can use a platform like MamaBear Family Safety App which to receive notifications when they get new followers and friends, easily view photos uploaded and set alerts for certain language and phrases.
It is our job as parents to know what is going on in our children's lives offline and online. So don't look the other way when it comes to social media and connect with your child now using a social media monitoring platform like MamaBear App which is available for both iPhones and Androids.

Professional support is useful when the company first enters the international freight process. There are many factors to evaluate that influence the success of an overall export shipment.
It is difficult to ensure that the shipment will arrive safely at its destination and will be received by customs clearance organization. Each country has different rules for the carriage of the goods it receives, as well as the documentation required to import the freight.
The agency is a good resource for any company that is just starting to deliver goods. Customs clearance is not the only barrier with this mode of transportation. Often, multiple transfer methods are required to complete a delivery.
Image Source: Google
Goods may need to be loaded onto trucks to arrive at the airport or port. The item must then be refilled using one of these transfer methods to arrive at an international destination.
After customs clearance, goods may need to be stored or loaded by other modes of transportation to reach customers. This process is very detailed and can complicate the transportation of each individual.
Companies unfamiliar with the process will achieve better results if they rely on the knowledge of experienced transport agents in the industry.
By purchasing a listing, the company can also experience customer service from each customer. Taking the time to receive multiple offers will ensure reliability and great service from the shipping agent you choose.

This is the 1st in a series of articles about buying metro Phoenix area short sale homes. Parts 2, 3 and 4 are coming in the next 3 days.
Many, many potential buyers in the Phoenix market lately want to look at "short sales", "foreclosures" or "bank owned homes". Often they're not quite sure what these terms mean exactly, but they know the 10 o'clock news (or their brother's cousin's baker's tailor) says short sales & foreclosures are a spanking good deal.
See here for the differences between REOs, bank owned, short sales, foreclosures and pre-foreclosures. Regardless of type, the secret to buying one of these homes is organization combined with an open mind and a lot of patience.
This article talks about buying short sales. Lender owned homes are a different ballgame and I'll address those soon.
I showed some vacation homes to Canadian investors recently. Like all buyers, they wanted to "be in a nice neighborhood." Found and showed them a smoking deal on a lender owned home listed at $375,000. It needed serious work. The former owners took bathroom cabinets and countertops, all appliances, and even the bathroom mirrors with them on their way out the door.
Buyers and I reviewed the sold comps together and agreed that - when refurbished - the home was probably worth about $500,000 on the open market. We also ballparked the cost of needed repairs and agreed that it would cost about $40,000 to bring the home to its former standard.
$375,000 plus $40,000 equals well below market value of $500,000.
The Buyers told me they really wanted this home. I explained that bank sales aren't like regular private sales. We'd be dealing with a bank clerk who'd rely on internal bank regulations and an independent appraisal to determine market value. We'd also be highly unlikely to get a counteroffer. The bank would either accept our offer or never reply at all. I encouraged the Buyers to consider their highest, best offer and call me in the morning so I could draw up their offer.
Next morning, the Buyers told me to offer $341,000 (91% of list) but privately told me they'd "go a little higher." Again I tried to remind them to give it their best shot right out of the gate. They declined, saying, "we want to see if we can get it for less first."
Miraculously, we got a counteroffer from the bank about 3 days later. They asked for full list price of $375,000 and intimated they had multiple offers on the way into their offices. Again, the Buyers and I reviewed the recent sold comps and we all agreed the place was worth about $440,000 to $460,000 in current condition and about $500,000 post-rehab.
Buyers instructed me to counter the bank's counter at $352,000 (or 94% of list price). Within hours, the bank said we lost the bidding war. About a month later the MLS showed the home sold to buyers who paid $363,000 (97% of list price). Ouch.
Buyer Lessons
- Listen with an open mind.
Discuss sold comps with your Realtor until they make sense and you agree, then take them as gospel.
- Don't play chicken with the bank.
Offer your highest and best right up front. You may not get the deal but you'll know you tried. The buyers in this example might very well have secured the home if they'd offered their highest & best of $352,000 right away, before other Buyers had a chance to make offers and the bank had a chance to pit bidding Buyers against each other.
- Trust your Realtor.
If s/he has comps that seem trustworthy, and you agree with her estimates of repair costs, and no other red flags about the deal appear, trust your Realtor when she advises you that full list price is still a great deal.

Miesha Tate Talks Dana White, Ronda Rousey, UFC and More
Miesha Tate (13-3) thinks her words got twisted when she announced earlier in the year that she was taking time off and believes that was why she didn't get the first UFC title shot. After the UFC made it clear that they were brining females inside the Octagon, Tate quickly changed her mind on what she saw as a golden opportunity.
"[White] said it wasn't exactly what was said and sometimes he has a poor choice of words," said Tate on The MMA Hour. "I think he realized he pissed me off a little bit. You don't want a scorned woman running around."
Tate wouldn't confirm if she had signed a UFC contract and her current status is unknown. Liz Carmouche (7-2) was selected to be the first to challenge Ronda Rousey (6-0) for the bantamweight title.
Rousey vs. Carmouche headlines UFC 157 on February 26 out of the Honda Center from Anaheim, CA.

AlzProtect's Candidate Therapy AZP2006 Well-tolerated in Healthy Volunteers, Phase 1 Trial Shows
A Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers for investigational therapy AZP2006 — an oral medicine that is meant to clear accumulations of toxic proteins in Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy — has shown positive results, says the therapy's developer, AlzProtect.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare, progressive disease that arises due to loss of brain cells as a result of accumulations of abnormal tau protein aggregates.
The study, launched in 2018, investigated the effect of food intake on the pharmacokinetic profile of AZP2006 following a single oral administration of the therapy in 14 healthy volunteers.
Pharmacokinetics, sometimes described as what the body does to a drug, refers to the movement of drug into, through, and out of the body, including the time course of its absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
"This food effects study will explore the optimal timing of AZP2006 versus food intake. On the other hand, the results will make it possible to follow up on the next phase 2 clinical study in patients, planned for 2019 " Philippe Verwaerde, president and scientific director of Alzprotect said in a 2018 press release.
The results showed that AZP2006 was well-tolerated by all volunteers, with food intake affecting the therapy moderately.
A previous Phase 1 trial with 88 healthy volunteers showed that after oral administration of AZP2006, the therapy was well-absorbed by the intestine and well-tolerated.
"AlzProtect, with this new success, has now all the elements necessary to apply for our next phase 2a study with PSP patients. The first patient recruitments will occur in 2019," Verwaerde, president and scientific director of AlzProtect, said in a recent press release.
AZP2006 is a small molecule designed to restore the cleaning process of the neurons, thereby halting the accumulation of toxic proteins in Alzheimer's, like beta-amyloid and tau protein. The therapy aims to slow the disease progression of Alzheimer's and PSP.
AZP2006 has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of PSP by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency.
This designation provides several benefits, including tax incentives, exemption from user fees and potential market exclusivity for several years following approval.

Armed police have evacuated around 50 passengers from a coach on the M6 motorway near Lichfield, in the West Midlands. Reports suggest a man on the bus was seen pouring liquid into a smoking bag.
Part of the M6 toll motorway near Birmingham is closed following a "police-led incident". Officers shut the road, near Birmingham, in both directions between junctions three and four, the Highways Agency said.
It is understood the incident involves a coach which pulled over on to the hard shoulder of the motorway of its own volition. The intercepted coach was a Megabus, which was heading south on the M6 toll road from Preston when it was stopped. Reports suggested a man was seen pouring liquid into a smoking bag on board the coach.
Armed police officers could be seen positioned next to the single-decker coach on the south-bound carriageway, as passengers were led off the vehicle one by one.
Eye-witness Nick Jones, who was stopped on the motorway for more than an hour and a half, told BBC News that police warned him to stay in his car, keep his windows closed and not to use air conditioning.
"I was beginning to feel a little uneasy," he said. "I was beginning to look around for an escape route."
A Megabus spokeswoman said: "We are assisting police with their inquiries into an allegation made against a passenger who was travelling on board one of our services."
A number of emergency service vehicles were parked at the toll plaza, about 200m from the coach. Seven police vans arrived at the scene shortly before 11am.

Sacramento's slogan in the art world could be "the city of sharing." The spirit of giving shown by local instructors extends beyond lessons in the classroom on color and form. The current crop of established artists claims that teachers in the region provided them with unparalleled mentorship during their formative stages. Some of the most frequently cited individuals are painter Fred Dalkey, an instructor at Sacramento City College for the past 35 years and creator of a large, diverse body of work; Robert Arneson, who taught at the University of California, Davis, and died in 1992, with a reputation as one of the founding fathers of ceramics as an art in California; Jack Ogden, a longtime instructor at California State University, Sacramento, and painter in the abstract expressionist tradition; and the most famous among the group, Wayne Thiebaud, who has enjoyed a long teaching career at UC Davis and whose iconic images from the '60s of desserts aligned him with the Pop Art movement.
Phil Hitchcock, California State University, Sacramento, art professor and director of the University Library Gallery, believes the ground was tilled perfectly over time for the artists who now call Sacramento home. "These artists were living in a place that was a very creative environment, that was affordable, with two great academic institutions," says Hitchcock, referring to UC Davis and CSUS. "It is known that those two institutions were national forerunners in the '60s, '70s and '80s in producing a list of well-known artists."
One beneficiary was Julia Couzens, who moved to the area from San Francisco in 1976. "I was desperate to be back working in art. I took classes at Sacramento City College and immediately connected with Fred Dalkey because of my interest in figure drawing," says Couzens, who now shows in Los Angeles. "To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Sacramento. I was coming from the city and thinking there's nothing going on here. It just clicked with Fred, and I worked with him for three or four years and then started taking classes at Sac State and worked with Jack Ogden. By then, I had realized there was serious art-making here and it was really everything that I needed."
Figurative-narrative artist Mike Stevens believes that his forerunners did more than just create wonderful art. "The interesting thing about Sacramento is that I was influenced by artists who were teachers. Bob Else, Jack Ogden, Ruth Rippon, Jim Nutt—they were artists first who happened to teach," says Stevens, who will be retiring in June after 35 years as an art teacher at Encina High School. "That's why they were so influential. They are not just teaching technique, they're teaching the idea of how to be an artist, what an artist looks like. You don't only learn by what they say, but you can look at their work and look at the trail that they left." Muralist Stephanie Taylor also appreciates the professional example currently set by local teachers. "I think it's a really fabulous thing that a lot of the faculty at CSUS show their work locally. These men and women are making a lot of work. There's a level of enthusiasm and energy here that's just wonderful."
Artist Jian Wang relocated here in 1986 from China, where he was a professor of engineering. To pursue his true calling, he left the stability of a job and uprooted his family to begin what would become seven years of arts education in Sacramento. "My education here has been influential in my art. I am very fortunate to study with wonderful teachers and artists," he says. First, he worked with Dalkey at Sacramento City College, an artist he considers to be one of the most influential teachers here. "He's so supportive. At the time I spoke very broken English and he helped me not only with the learning but also to get my work out of the studio to show. I got a lot of encouragement from him." Wang then spent two and a half years at Davis where he "studied and hung out with Wayne Thiebaud every semester." With a subsequent master's degree from CSUS, Wang currently has 10 galleries showing his art, some in New York, Atlanta and San Francisco. "I have seen a lot of art from all over the country," he says. "Because of those professors' influence, I still think we have the best and most sincere painters in the country. You can sense the joy of the Sacramento artists. Those professors have paved the road."
Maija Peeples-Bright was well into completing her math degree at UC Davis in 1963 when her counselor advised her to take an art class to fulfill general education requirements. On her first day in the class, she unknowingly stepped right into the middle of what's known today as the California Funk movement.
Eventually she ended up palling around with such notables as Robert Arneson, William T. Wiley, Peter VandenBerge, David Gilhooly and Roy DeForest. "I was so lucky that Davis was just this hotbed of art at the time that I was there," says Peeples-Bright, who later became known for her Rainbow House in San Francisco—a house painted every color under the sun, where many of her art colleagues gathered to discuss art and life in the late '60s and early '70s. "I find that art drives my life," she says. "I do art in just about everything—my shirts, crochet my blankets. I have the very good fortune to have had people like Arneson around."
Hitchcock knows the impact of having such a list of who's who in the art world. "Sac State's faculty and alumni had incredible national reputations. They had Ralph Goings, Mel Ramos, Wayne Thiebaud—just to name a few who have gone on to become real heavyweights in the international arts scene. The alumni and faculty we had were second to none, such as Bill Allan, Carlos Villa, Jim Nutt and Gladys Nilsson, who still have tremendous international appeal."
Stevens says Nutt had the most influence on his career. Nutt was from Chicago and was part of the Hairy Who, a high-profile group from Chicago that also included Nilsson and Karl Wirsum, who also taught at CSUS. "Jim was very influential in the area of figurative-narrative arts at Sac State, but he was also influential in the way that he came in and showed us how to get into a gallery. He showed us how to put a slide packet together and a résumé," says Stevens, who was able to get his work into galleries in San Francisco, Chicago and then Los Angeles over a 10-year period. "I was teaching school full time and then going home and working all hours of the night to produce bodies of work for each gallery."
The History
Known affectionately around town as the oldest art museum west of the Mississippi, the Crocker Art Museum has been educating and enlightening Sacramentans since the late 1800s. "Up until recently, the Crocker was a place you went to in the fourth grade and you didn't go back after that," says Stephanie Taylor, who grew up in a household where her mother, also an artist, worked with pals like Ruth Rippon to support the Crocker. "That's really changed now with the shows they sponsor and have put together."
As a fourth-generation Californian, Taylor has linked her love for history—she earned her degree in the subject from UCLA—and her talents as a painter and sculptor into several large-scale works, such as a depiction of famous Sacramento figures imbibing together that stands behind the bar of the Sutter Club; a survey of pioneer California aviators between 1920 and 1940 captured in a 33-foot-wide mural at Amelia's restaurant in the Oakland Airport Hilton Hotel; and a tribute to literary icon Jack London at Jack London Square in Oakland. "The location here has such a great history base. As a die-hard Californian, I have a terrific sense of ingrained California history. My ancestors came here just after the Gold Rush. My great-great grandmother was born in Santa Cruz," says Taylor. "I think that coming from an area that's agrarian-oriented . . . I think there's an element of earthy sensuality that I really identify with."
The Landscape
According to art historian Elaine O'Brien, there's long been a tradition of landscape painting in Northern California. A few Sacramento artists have made a big statement. "Landscape painting and Wayne Thiebaud—that's practically a Sacramento school with Kondos and all those painters that come out of Thiebaud. People call it the Delta school because of the landscape here," says O'Brien. "Tom Monteith's abstract paintings are informed deeply by the landscape, and other abstract painters here like Joan Moment wouldn't want that to be ignored. Really, what we love about this place is what these landscape painters are capturing."
Encina High School's Stevens says landscape painting is a natural fit for Sacramento. "Artists like Darrell Forney and Greg Kondos are constantly painting the Delta. Bob Else paints tomato fields and scenic views of Sacramento as well as the open spaces that are outside of the city."
When traveling to other cities, Wang, who frequently paints scenes from the riverbank, says people always ask him if he made up the name "American River" as a political statement. "I always tell them, 'No! It's really a river.' I just put my own inspiration into the water." Wang says he spends a lot of time near the river watching suns rise and set. "This is an incredible view for me," says Wang, who happened to settle here because his sponsor, Marjorie Francisco, lives in Carmichael. "I grew up in an industrial city in China, and here you have all the beautiful scenery in the trees and rivers. At the time I came here, I didn't have any comparison for other landscapes in America, but now that I have traveled quite a lot with my openings—Atlanta, New York, Memphis, D.C.—I come home and feel this is still the most beautiful place."
The Lifestyle
"Sacramento is a town that doesn't eat you alive," says Stevens. "It's not like New York or Los Angeles. It still has a bit of that small-town quality that's on the verge of becoming a big city, and this is appealing to the artists who live here."
Peeples-Bright agrees. "It's more fun to be a big fish in a little pond. It allows me to do my thing and not have the pressure of doing what's hot that year. I like to do my own ideas and think them through and hope that if I am pleased with the finished product, then other people will react to them."
Wang says he feels fortunate to have made his home in Sacramento. "If I had started somewhere like New York, I may have been buried by the business of the society," he says. "I think for beginning artists, Sacramento has an incredibly supportive community. Wayne Thiebaud gives a good example of living here and making a name for himself."
Affordable studio space was why Julia Couzens worked here early in her career. "Getting good working space is really difficult in areas like the Bay Area or Los Angeles. In New York, it's unbelievable. Many artists will have to share a bed and the space by alternating work hours, so that one is sleeping when the other is using the space," says Couzens, who rented studios in downtown Sacramento for years but now has a studio in her Clarksburg home. "All along J Street, there used to be a number of second-story spaces that were just fabulous. I had a loft that was just unbelievable. They are harder to find today, but at the time, they were wonderful for artists."
Art historian O'Brien says the artists here do not fit the stereotypes. "They are not downtown bohemians. They are more like middle-class people, and when you visit them in their homes, they drive Volvos and have middle-class lives."

"Mario Lanza was one of America's most successful singers and movie stars in the years immediately following World War II. Born Alfredo Arnold Cocozza, he was the son of Italian immigrants, adopting his stage name from the masculine form of his mother's maiden name, Maria Lanza. From the age of 15, he studied to be a professional singer, later signing to the Columbia Artists Management agency as a concert singer; however, his career took a left turn in 1943, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. Billed as 'the Service Caruso', Lanza performed for his fellow infantrymen and also sang in the production WINGED VICTORY; upon his return from duty, he relocated to New York, where he performed concert dates and appeared on radio. One of his audition tapes found its way to MGM's Hollywood studios, and after MGM chief Louis B. Mayer subsequently saw Lanza perform live, he signed the singer to a seven-year contract.
After making his first -- and final -- appearance on the professional opera stage in 1948 in the New Orleans Opera's production of MADAMA BUTTERFLY, Lanza made his MGM début the following year in THE MIDNIGHT KISS, scoring a hit with the soundtrack's 'Celeste Aďda'. THE TOAST OF NEW ORLEANS followed, launching his first million-selling hit, 'Be My Love'. In 1951 Lanza starred as his idol in the biopic THE GREAT CARUSO, scoring another million seller with 'The Loveliest Night of the Year'. In 1951 he mounted his own CBS radio series, and the following year starred in BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE; the title song, penned by Sammy Cahn and Nicholas Brodszky, earned an Academy Award nomination, and became Lanza's third and final million-selling effort.
After completing the music for the MGM production of THE STUDENT PRINCE, Lanza walked out on the project, but by allowing the studio to retain rights to the recordings, he was able to avoid a breach of contract lawsuit, with the single 'The Drinking Song' rising to the top of the U.S. charts. In the wake of his walkout Lanza became a recluse, disappearing from the limelight for over a year while battling addictions to food, alcohol, and tranquilizers; he also faced a series of battles with the IRS. Finally, in 1956 he resumed his film career in the Warner Bros. production SERENADE; the next year, however, disillusioned with American life, he moved to Italy, settling in Rome to star in 1958's THE SEVEN HILLS OF ROME. That same year Lanza toured the U.K., making one final film, FOR THE FIRST TIME. He died in 1959 of a heart attack."

I took the stranger's call. His voice was deliberate, a deep and sonorous blending of world cultures – American, French-Canadian, Hebrew, and Moroccan. His words evidenced a lifetime of practical, aesthetic, spiritual living. I experienced this message as a wake-up call to the timeless place of art and spirit within my mind and heart
He read my words, he said. More importantly, he had read the words I transcribed from dialogs between myself and my friend, Keith Haring. He introduced himself as a collector who had in his possession dozens of works of art that, by amazing circumstance, were said to be from a secret collection of hundreds of pieces executed by Keith in the early to mid-1980s.
His account of the history of the works and how they came into his possession was replete with astounding, yet credible, detail. Each time I asked a pointed question, sharpened by my own knowledge and experience of Keith's life and work from that period, the responses were sound.
Purchased three years ago by a tripartite partnership that has since been dissolved – the works divided among the three men – my caller's part of the collection numbers near fifty works of art. They possess a well-researched and documented provenance indicating they may very well be from the hand of Keith Haring. And they have never been shown before!
The caller, Victor Lallouz – a filmmaker, art researcher, and collector – had read my account of the collaborative work Keith and I had initiated in the 1980s. I was an early writer on Keith's art and Keith acknowledged my work held certain qualities he valued. After an extended period of personal and professional interaction, we conceived a collaborative project and, in 1985, I received a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts to initiate the work.
And now, decades later, Victor Lallouz was informing me that he had been researching The Project on the Internet and was moved to make contact. We agreed to be in touch and bade each other farewell. My mind whirled with the absolute surrealism of the situation.
Shortly afterward, Victor sent me a photo of one of the works. And within a few months, I received images of his entire collection – a stunning group of fantastic artworks filled with the early iconic images of Keith Haring. I have also traveled to Montreal to see a selection of the work for myself. A bond has developed between Victor and me. He is a true collaborator.
The process of having these astonishing artworks authenticated by the foundation that bears Keith's name is beginning. Now, the story of the collection – in all its revelatory potential is being told. This is a wild and stormy story of trash and transformation, love and loss, pleasure and dissolution, suffering, recovery, and potential redemption. It is a narrative of freedom and responsibility defined and confined by art history and post-modern global events – an evolving story whose ending is still unwritten.

By Mark Bonamo | May 1st, 2014
NEWARK - One of Newark's more infamous political traditions, known as "midnight mail," always visibly revives in the weeks before any significant election.
It is apparent that in at least in one instance, the kind of anonymous, unattributed pamphleteering, common to Newarkers during contentious mayoral and council races, has entered the digital age.
An anonymous website that questions the qualifications and ethics of the Central Ward candidate on Newark mayoral candidate Ras Baraka's slate has appeared, the ward that often has the votes that decide Newark citywide elections.
The website, named "Tell the Truth Gayle", assails the former city councilwoman on a variety of issues, including questions about a reportedly taxpayer-funded junket made by Chaneyfield Jenkins and her staff to Ghana, as well as her contribution to thousands of dollars spent by City Council members on meals.
One significant allegation made on the website alludes to a 2009 proposal by some members of the City Council to award Jericho Group, a company created by Chaneyfield Jenkins after she was voted out of office in 2006, a $350,000 contract to provide the council with expert advice on the city's development deals. The council ultimately did not approve the proposed contract.
Chaneyfield Jenkins, who served as councilwoman-at-large from 1995 to 2006, is attempting a political comeback as part of Baraka's slate. An ally of former Newark Mayor Sharpe James, she was defeated as part of the rise to power of former Newark mayor and now U.S. Senator Cory Booker, who swept into office with his entire nine-person slate in 2006.
Chaneyfield Jenkins is facing off against incumbent Darrin Sharif, who is running as an independent, in the May 13 municipal election. She will also contend with Bishop Andre Speight, the Central Ward Democratic chairman, who is on the slate of mayoral candidate and former state Assistant Attorney General Shavar Jeffries. Other independent candidates, such as Miguel Arce, who is attempting to become the first Latino Central Ward councilman, are also in play.
The Chaneyfield Jenkins council campaign issued a written statement in response to the accusations made on the anonymous website.
"Gayle Chaneyfield Jenkins is a proven leader with a track record of results for the citizens of Newark. At this time she is focused on her campaign. While Gayle is out listening to the needs of Central Ward residents, brainstorming on how to deliver much-needed resources to the ward, it is clear her opponents are more focused on her," the statement said. "Gayle has run a clean smear-free campaign this far and will continue to do so over the next 12 days."

Businesses are constantly striving to gain more business over the internet. One of the best ways to gain business over the internet is to set up a cloudsite. However, online sales are a challenge even after setting up a cloudsite. This is because there are many technicalities to accept payment from a customer and record the order.
To ease up the process of making a sale and recording the customer's order, certain software has to be used. Asking the customer to download software is not always feasible. Therefore an app is created by a developer for the business. These applications are called cloud applications and are designed specifically to meet the requirements of the business. However, the use of custom cloud apps is not limited to sales and support for customers.
Custom cloud apps are also used to make sure the internal business processes run smoothly. Businesses often use custom cloud apps to gather employees' feedback regarding a particular policy, etc. For this it is not necessary for the employee to be within the premises. They can access the survey or update from anywhere through any smart device. This is the beauty of custom cloud applications. To funnel in customers, businesses fine-tune their cloud applications to work a bit differently.
These cloud apps are designed to project the image of the company in a positive manner. In addition, these applications are designed to provide potential or existing customer relevant information. All the information and projections are aimed at attaining the customer's business. Certain custom designed cloud apps are used to capture leads. The application is designed to capture the customers' interests, preference, etc.
This information is then relayed to the relevant department and efforts are made to gain the customer's business. One reason businesses prefer to use custom cloud applications is that they are safe in many aspects. The custom cloud apps are safe when it comes to storing information. Moreover, these applications prevent software piracy or theft. Since there is no specific data file that aids the installation of this software on a device, it can't be copied or pirated.
This allows the business to maintain control of the application. In addition, the security features of custom applications are very advanced. Even though the information is being accessed on a browser, the information fed into the app remains private.
Custom cloud applications allow business to reach out to different demographics. This is because these applications can be accessed on any device with a browser, regardless of the device configuration.
