UnNews:Fidel Castor is feeling better than ever
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
19 November 2005
HAVANA, Cuba -- Contrary to some blasphemous reports by western propaganda agencies, Fidel Castor, leader of the Free Cuban Republic, has never felt better. East German doctors have examined Castor's medical test results, and have not found any signs of Parkinson's disease, usually suffered by capitalistic American actors.
Castor himself said that he is in the best form of his life. This statement was issued in a speech lasting for 2:32:17, given simultaneously with Castor running the Marathon part of the Cuban Triathlon championships. The time of the Marathon is just over 9 minutes short of Castor's record, run in New York in 1961.
Fidel Castor has recently bettered many of his earlier records in athletics. Last summer he scored a Decathlon result of 8204, which is some 100 points better than his previous score from 1959. During the event he also made personal bests in 100 meters, 10.49, and in javelin throw, 82.50 plus one potential capitalist spy.
In addition to athletics, Castor has also started training road cycling. His friend Lance Armstrong has given some Castor some help concerning nutrition and recovery after exercises. According to insider sources, Castor is on the edge of closing a two-year deal with the professional cycling team Festina, which has a confirmed place in the next year's Tour de France. If his condition continues improving, Castor could well be one of the main contenders for the yellow jersey in Paris. As a preparation for the Tour 2006, Castor might do the Paris-Roubaix. The race's course should suit the Cuban, as it is mainly cycled on cobblestone roads, which closely resemble the highways in his home country.
Castor is no stranger to racing with two-wheelers. He participated in MotoGP championships in 1965-1973 with his mate Che Guevara, winning the title 3 times.
In a recent update, there are reports that Castor had been been much inspired by the late 1950's horror movie `The Head That Would not Die`. Using the services of the aforementioned East German Doctors, a new body, similar in size to his cancer-ridden one was `procured` and a transplant was made. All 2 million incarcerated male political prisoners were blood tested, and the closest match was found. That man`s head was removed, and Fidels was put in it's place. For the sacrifice, the political prisoner's family members have been allowed to swim to Miami, without being shot by the Cuban shore patrol. What a magnanimous fellow Castor is.

It's Only Superstitious If It Doesn't Work
Dear Northwestern Football,
My deepest apologies. I am fully to blame for your three losses this year, and I regret not having done my part to ensure your victory. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how exact I must be to guarantee a win. I have rectified my error, however, and I promise to do my part this coming Saturday.
Do you remember when I wrote about my football nail art that I've been doing this season? Well, apparently, it isn't good enough to simply do it. The weeks you played Penn State and Nebraska? Well, I was a little lazy. For Penn State, I did the brown on Friday but finished up the manicure Saturday morning while at Mister Man's Tae Kwon Do. And Nebraska? I did that one completely on Saturday morning. Michigan is the most embarrassing. I simply forgot to do it and left on my old manicure.
I was doing the rest of it right. I got my venti Starbucks in the morning. I dressed in purple. And I wore my NU football necklace and 'Cats earrings. I've confirmed that the purple ring doesn't make a difference one way or the other, but I didn't realize how crucial the football manicure was.
This week when you played Michigan State, I made sure to complete my football manicure Friday night. Even though I didn't get home until late, I made sure to stay up long enough to complete the football nail art and let it dry.
And it worked! (Of course.)
I promise to ensure that I get my manicure completed this Friday before the Illinois game. After all, it's my birthday that day, and what better present than an NU win?

Corning Optical Communications LLC, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, introduces its Pretium EDGE™ Reverse Polarity Uniboot, which provides quick and easy polarity management in the field without any tooling requirements in three steps:
1. Rotate boot 45º, sliding and lifting trigger to remove from assembly
2. Rotate LC connectors 180º
3. Reinstall trigger, rotating boot back to original position
An innovative addition to Corning's user-friendly, Pretium EDGE Solutions, the new Reverse Polarity Uniboot provides quick and easy polarity management in the field with no tooling requirements. The Reverse Polarity Uniboot's clamshell design avoids exposing fibers during the polarity flip. In addition, the connector has a color-coded visual reference for quick recognition of when a fiber has been reversed. Finally, the connector features a removable trigger design that allows for ten different colored triggers that can be used for segmenting network fabrics. The Reverse Polarity Uniboot is TIA/EIA-604-10A FOCIS 10-compliant and is compatible with legacy FOCIS-compliant duplex LC connectors, as well as an LC transceiver interface.
To see a video showing how the Pretium EDGE Reverse Polarity Uniboot works, visit http://www.corning.com/opcomm/RPuniboot, or visit Corning Optical Communications' booth #1201 at the BICSI 2011 Winter Conference. The first 300 people to watch the demonstration at the exhibit will receive a free sample.
Introduced in 2009, Pretium EDGE Solutions for data center applications address the needs of ease-of-use, scalability, termination density and technology future-proofing, while offering excellent total cost of ownership. Enabled by Corning® ClearCurve® bend-insensitive multimode fiber, Pretium EDGE Solutions allow for up to 35 percent faster deployment; enable up to 25 percent faster moves, adds and changes (MACs); and offer up to 100 percent more density than traditional preterminated solutions.

Quinn's choice ruffles teachers' feathers
SPRINGFIELD – Last week Gov. Pat Quinn picked a running mate who is not afraid to poke a government union boss in the political eye.
To be honest, I was surprised that Quinn picked Paul Vallas as his choice for lieutenant governor.
After all, Quinn seems to have a love/hate relationship with government worker unions.
At election time in 2010, he was pandering to their every need.
But during his time in office, he's been saddled with the voracious appetites of his erstwhile political allies and a cash-strapped state government that can't afford to pay for everything the unions desire.
One could call Quinn's political marriage to union bosses rocky at best.
That said, I anticipate they will endorse Quinn again.
What alternative do they have? Endorse a Republican? Dream on.
That's why Quinn's choice of Vallas is so intriguing.
Vallas is one of the biggest champions of charter schools in the nation.
He was head of New Orleans public schools, where he is largely credited with turning around the school district after Hurricane Katrina.
The Louisiana Legislature created a special recovery school district that encouraged competition and the principles of free enterprise to reinvigorate one of America's worst school systems.
And Vallas aggressively used charter schools to improve education outcomes.
Charter schools are publicly funded schools that have been freed from some of the regulations that apply to other public schools, in exchange for some type of accountability for producing certain results, which are set forth in each school's charter.
Teachers at charter schools can choose to join a union, but often don't.
This doesn't sit too well with some union bosses, who would just assume have every public school teacher in the state contributing to their coffers.
In fact, Karen Lewis, who heads the Chicago Teachers Union, is not too happy about Quinn's choice in a running mate.
She was quoted in the Examiner newspapers condemning Vallas for his penchant for standardized tests and charter schools. She noted this led to some longtime teachers losing their jobs.
Like most parents, I don't care how long my kids' teachers have had their jobs – just how well they do them.
And charter schools have proven to be a boon for students.
According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, during Vallas' tenure the proportion of failing schools in New Orleans dropped from 65 percent in 2007-08 to about 35 percent last year.
And three-quarters of the schools within the Crescent City are charter schools.
But in many cities across the country, students don't have this much choice when it comes to their education. Too often public school children find themselves trapped in a failing system.
Parents with the money, the skills or the time can choose private school options or home schooling.
But what about the rest?
Charter schools are a terrific option for parents to consider.
Unfortunately union bosses have been using their clout in Springfield to slow down the expansion of charter schools across the Prairie State.
With Vallas entering the political fray, one can't help but be encouraged that a candidate with a proven history in the area of education choice will be contributing to the debate.
That's not to say I'm in full agreement with Vallas on all – or even most – issues. But in the area of education choice I find the governor's running mate pick encouraging.
Teaching is a tough, demanding profession that not just anyone can do.
That's why I like the concept of school choice. Competition elevates a profession and hones the skills of its practitioners.
And I've yet to meet a parent who doesn't want the very best for his or her child.
That's why parents need to be empowered with education choices.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Coming up this evening at 9, "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomes a host of experts and insiders, all charged with adding perspective and context in the wake of the fall-out following the resignation of General David Petraeus.
Three days after the now former CIA director stepped down amidst an admission of an extramarital affair, CNN's Suzanne Kelly and Barbara Starr will join Piers Morgan live with reports from within Washington D.C.'s intelligence community.
Also, Petraeus' colleague General Mark Kimmit, as well as renowned journalist Michael Hastings, will each share their insight into the shocking end of a career in public service that had spanned nearly four decades.
Tune in at 9 for continuing coverage of one of the most-polarizing stories to hit the news cycle this year.
» Follow Piers Morgan Tonight on Twitter
Reblogged this on ΝΕΑ ΧΩΡΙΣ ΦΙΛΤΡΟ ΦΕΛΛΟΥ.
How was paula broadwell able to get,t into emails sent between petreus and j. kelly???
Rick Francona, retired intelligence officer and Middle East military specialist (www.FranconaAdvisors.com) will also join tonight's discussion.
Is it me or is he possibly the world's ugliest man...?
Not having seen what you look like I don't know that you might be the ugliest!
Why would you say, "The White House is in panic..."? Do you have evidence to back up such an inflammatory remark?
Regarding General Petraeus...
I can sum it up in 4 words:
"Plausible Deniability & Non-Complicity".
(Three words if you don't count the 'hypein').
LOVE John Miller! Thanks so much for having him on your show, Mr. Morgan. Haven't seen him in ages. Used to watch him when he reported on police cases in the NYC area waaay back when. He always explains things clearly, and has good humor.
Michael Hastings might get more people to listen to his views if he were more considerate, shouted less, and stopped interrupting other guests! Piers, you and GEN Kimmett showed great restraint on tonight's show!
Piers, Will never watch your show again. Tonight's broadcast is disgraceful. Michael Hastings can't be considered a journalist and considering Oliver Stone any type of expert on defense or the military is absurb as well as your comment about not criticizing the military. It happens all the time. Too bad you NEVER served your country or have any idea of the hardship that GEN Petraeus went through. You are a small, pathetic man – great lineup over Veteran's Day.
Why was Michael Hastings allowed to berate Gen Kimmett? I highly doubt Hastings has spent more time in Iraq than the General. I would be happy to compare my time in Iraq to Hastings'.
The war mongers have been exposed. All these "generals" are back in business looting the American taxpayer. Highly immoral and unethical. CNN and their fascist reporters are beginning to unravel.
Looking at the other comments, one can safely say that the American media has brainwashed the masses into obedient sheeple. George Carlin was right! Bravo, Michael Hastings!!
Why isnt she brought up charges as well? She willingly participated in an affair with a married man? It takes two to tangle.
I read Kitty Kelley's book Oprah, and think it fell well into the same category as that written about Sinatra and JFK. However, you steered away from mentioning her in your discussion with Ms. Kelley. Are you afraid of back-lash from Oprah? That's not like you, Piers.
Michael Hastings was the only journalist on the show! Invite him back!
Great beat ! I would like to apprentice at the same time as you amend your website, how could i subscribe for a blog website? The account helped me a applicable deal. I have been a little bit acquainted of this your broadcast provided brilliant clear concept

Saku Antero Koivu (born November 23, 1974) is a Finnish professional ice hockey player and an alternate captain of the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He began his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens in 1995–96 after three seasons with TPS of the Finnish SM-liiga. Koivu served as the Canadiens' captain for nine of his thirteen seasons with the club, which makes his the longest captaincy tenure in team history tied with Jean Béliveau. Koivu was the first European to captain the Montreal Canadiens.
Saku started his professional ice hockey career playing for TPS in the Finnish SM-liiga, beginning in 1992–93. He posted 10 points in his rookie season, including 5 points in the playoffs to help TPS to a Kanada-malja championship. After improving to 53 points the following season, he put up a league-high 73 points in 1994–95. In addition to earning the Veli-Pekka Ketola trophy as league scoring champion, Koivu was awarded the Kultainen kypärä award as the players' choice for the best player and the Lasse Oksanen trophy as league MVP. He went on to record 17 points in 13 post-season games that year to earn the Jari Kurri trophy as playoff MVP and win his second Kanada-malja trophy in three years with TPS.
Koivu would return to the TPS squad during the 2004-2005 NHL lockout, scoring 8 goals and 8 assists in 20 games.

Now would also be a great time to visit Heritage Museums & Gardens. You can have a bite to eat there also, in the outdoor setting of the Magnolia Cafe. Grab a map of the grounds and head out on one of the nature trails or visit the antique car museum. Be sure to visit the tree house in Hidden Hollow. And don't miss a spin on the antique carousel before you leave the gardens.
Another wonderful place to visit in Sandwich is the Glass Museum. Watch glass being blown and learn about the history of the village and its' connection to glass making. Walk over to the Dexter Grist Mill located on Shawme Pond and then pay a visit to the Hoxie House, the oldest house on Cape Cod. The docents who lead the tours are worth the price of the ticket.
When you return to the inn, Charlie will be happy to pour you a glass of wine and help you select a great place to have dinner. There are so many wonderful restaurants to choose from very near our inn and a couple that you can walk to.
The morning of your first full day on Cape Cod, we will serve you a hearty and healthy breakfast and send you on your way with maps and information to help you have a fun-filled day. For first-time visitors to the Cape, we always suggest a drive along scenic Route 6A. This lovely drive begins in Sandwich and winds through the villages of Barnstable, Yarmouth Port, Dennis, and Brewster, ending at the Orleans rotary. Aptly named, this winding road will show you the oldest and most historic parts of Cape Cod. You will pass by cranberry bogs, nature centers, salt marshes, and through villages with old captain's houses, antiques shops, and art galleries galore.
If you have family and friends who will be expecting a gift from your trip, you will find several cute boutiques in East Sandwich, among them are the Black Crow Gallery, Mrs. Mugs, and Painted Daisies. Sandy Neck Beach is located in East Sandwich and West Barnstable.
In Barnstable Village, make you way down to Barnstable Harbor. The view across to Sandy Neck lighthouse is a fabulous photo op. Mattakeese Wharf restaurant and Osterville Two fish house are both located on the harbor. Some other points of interest in Barnstable are the Sturgis Library, the Olde Colonial Courthouse, and Crocker Tavern. The old Barnstable Tavern and the Dolphin Restaurant are both right on 6A in the village.
As you journey through Yarmouth Port, you may want to stop by the Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary and go for a walk along their nature trails. There is an amazing view across the river to Sandy Neck and the lighthouse there. Other things you may enjoy here are the Edward Gorey House and Gray's Beach. The Optimist Café on Route 6A is a great place for lunch.
|Sesuit Harbor Cafe
Just up 6A from Dennis is the Village of Brewster, which is home to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. This is well worth the stop, especially for nature lovers. The Brewster Store is located on your left as you pass through the village and is a fun place to stop and browse. There are many galleries and small antiques shops located along 6A in Brewster. Drive slowly so that you don't miss one in case you want to stop for a visit.
As you leave Brewster traveling along Route 6A, you will come to Route 6, also known as the Mid Cape Highway. Jump on here following the signs to Provincetown. This larger roadway travels through Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and into P'Town (as the Cape Codders call it). This is a beautiful part of Cape Cod, with many places to visit with more time. With only a couple of days, we suggest that you enjoy the drive through these lovely villages and move along to P'town. We suggest you take the turn-off to the Information Center as you enter Provincetown. It is well-marked along the highway and the view from there over the dunes is very much worth the detour. After all, the purpose of this suggested day-trip is to show you how diverse and beautiful the Cape really is.
Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch is located neat the public parking lot.They even have a sunset cruise that you will love if the weather is warm and sunny.
When you return from whale watching, you will have time to stroll the streets of P'town and perhaps have dinner at the Lobster Pot on Commercial Street. You can't miss it, just look for the large lobster hanging out front. When you leave P'town, we suggest that you take Route 6 bake to Sandwich. Take exit 2 onto Route 130 and back to the Inn. You can have a glass of brandy, port, or sherry before you turn in for a comfy, and probably much needed, nights rest.
At this point, you have only one full day left to spend on Cape Cod. You will need to decide whether to take a day trip to Nantucket Island or Martha's Vineyard. We think you would enjoy either one. Keep in mind that Nantucket is the smaller of the islands and may be more appropriate for a day trip. We have written blogs on both of these lovely islands that may help you decide which one is the best choice for you. Simply look in our blog index and click onto each of these articles.
After breakfast at the inn on your third morning will be check-out time. For us, it will be like saying goodbye to friends. We will be hoping you experienced the magic of Cape Cod and that you will be making a return trip to stay with us and do more exploring.
Jan Preus, the Innkeeper, chef, and artist in residence at the 1750 Inn at Sandwich Center, Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

London Economic Impact Report
About The Report
WeWork have commissioned independent consultants, The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) who have a reputation for sound business advice based on thorough and insightful research, to produce independent research focused on the impact WeWork has on the London economy. CEBR conducted a survey of WeWork members in London, asking members questions in order to understand the added value they experience from WeWork. In addition, CEBR asked members about their spending habits, and local businesses what impact WeWork members had on their business. This research was combined with economic modeling to analyse economic multipliers.
The question of how we will navigate the future of work and cities to progress toward a new economy — that uplifts all people and all communities — is perhaps one of the most important questions of our time. CEBR has analysed the impact WeWork has on the individuals and businesses, on the neighbourhoods and on the city.
Read the full report here

Businesses Grow Rapidly After Joining WeWork

There is a word in Greek that i love. It is "aeriko" and it means fairy-like creature but it comes from the word "aeras" which is the air. In this elaborate way it links wind with the supernatural. Although i have a strong connection to fire, when it comes to magick i am very close to air. As an element it helps me connect, feel, relax, see and hear things beyond our world. I love the moment before the storm, that the wind smells like rain. I love watching the leaves dance under the touch of the wind. I love it when i wear a long dress and the air makes it move constantly. And how amazing is it to leave something really light from your hand and watch it travel far far away? Air is definitely my favourite element! What is yours?

Oh, that's a hard one. I'm a Virgo and that should make me earth and since I do love gardening and digging my hands in the earth, I am actually most happy in water. I love to be wet--rain, snow, swimming, lake, stream, mists, fog...I just adore it. I drink it all the time. I play in it. Every night before bed, I play in the pool and watch the stars and moon and then come in and have the best night's sleep! Moisture is everything to me even in cloud form. Yeah, I'd say I'm earthbound, but I am most soothed by water on my body, in my lungs when I breathe humid air, and when it's rainy and my hair curls even more!

At the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, we have a little over 440 employees of which 234 are researchers. The campus is divided in two: one part is in Stuttgart and one in Tübingen which lie about 40km apart. Four of the seven Departments are based in Stuttgart: The Haptic Intelligence, the Physical Intelligence, the Modern Magnetic Systems and the Theory of Inhomogeneous Condensed Matter Department. Based in Tübingen are the Empirical Inference, the Autonomous Motion as well as the Perceiving Systems Department.
The Tübingen campus lies on a steep hill overlooking the picturesque university town in the South of Germany. Right next door are the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics , the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology , as well as the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory . All our offices and laboratories are embedded in lofty and modern buildings. While the institutes each have their own scientific focus, many campus facilities are shared, like the Campus IT infrastructure, the Max Planck House with guest rooms, a canteen and a cafeteria serving healthy food, a lecture hall and a library. And we have a daycare called "Planckton" for children under 3. After all, the Max Planck Institutes help facilitate a family friendly work-life-balance.
The Stuttgart Campus, which we share with the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, is situated between Vaihingen and Büsnau, and very close to the University of Stuttgart Vaihingen campus, embedded in a beautiful valley surrounded by lush green fields and forests. We too have auditoriums, a guest house, a library and a kids daycare.
Stuttgart and Tübingen are both beautiful cities with a rich history:
Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg, Germany's biggest exporting state in the South West of the country. It is a city of stately elegance with its many castles, and at the same time an economic hub, home to many world-renowned companies such as Daimler, Porsche or Bosch. Stuttgart, which sits in a valley through which the river Neckar runs through, is beautifully surrounded by vine-clad hills (there are vineyards in the heart of the city!), there are many parks and green areas, making Stuttgart one of the greenest cities in Germany. The Swabian Alps and the Black Forest are only an hour away. There´s also a great cultural scene with a world-famous opera house, two musical theaters, many cinemas, clubs, bars and restaurants. Mineral baths for relaxation are scattered around town - in short: the city is all about a high quality of life. Stuttgart is a modern, urban and cosmopolitan city, with that certain something and a great place to live. It is multicultural with a total population of just over 600,000 of which 150,000 are foreigners, coming from over 170 nations.
Tübingen is a charming medieval town located on a hill overlooking the river Neckar in southern Germany. This medieval town is full of half-timbered houses from the 15th century, pedestrian streets, and market squares with many restaurants, cafes, and shops. The Swabian university town of 88,000 inhabitants of which about 27,000 are students combines the flair of a lovingly restored town with the colorful bustle and typical atmosphere of a young and cosmopolitan students' town, perfect for singles and families alike, with a lively arts and entertainment scene. The town is surrounded by fields and forests with endless walking, biking, horse riding, and mountain biking trails. Tübingen lies at the center of Europe, between the vibrant city of Stuttgart and the expansive nature of the Swabian Alb. Science, culture, history, and nature combine to make Tübingen a delightful place to live or visit.
There are also numerous collaborations within the Tübingen Research Campus and with the University of Tübingen , including the Center for Integrative Neuroscience , the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience , the Department of Computer Science , and the University Hospital Clinics .

Capella, the brightest star in Auriga
Capella is the brightest star in Auriga constellation. It is very easy to spot in the Northern hemisphere. It is a circumpolar star, very bright one. The picture has been taken through a 300mm telephoto lens and Canon EOS 450d over a Sky Watcher EQ6 equatorial mount.

Home-Sales Frenzy Eases
After a yearlong rally, the U.S. housing market is showing signs of cooling as higher prices and interest rates, a slowdown in investor purchases and shortages of homes for sale weigh on one of the economy's brightest sectors. Nick Timiraos reports on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.

4 honor: Resinstate Sullivan rally brings thousands to Lawn
"It is more honorable to repair a wrong than to persist in it." ~Th Jefferson
A few thousand students, faculty, and friends rallied on the University of Virginia Lawn Sunday, June 24, in one of the strongest showings yet of the grassroots effort to reestablish governing transparency and reinstate the president, Teresa Sullivan, who was unceremoniously ousted two weeks earlier.Read more on: Teresa Sullivan
50 comments
Just after the Rally, a group of concerned citizens formed "The Friends of the Academical Village" to advance ongoing research and analysis of the the University of Virginia situation and the attack on higher education in Virginia and in the Republic.
Eternal vigilance...
This rally shows there are a few thousand more people than Sullivan who have commitment and fight in them to retain a job . These folks fighting for her to retain her job and little kids fighting for her job make her look bad in view of her own lack of strength under threat of dismissal . Did she resign ,prefering to do so as opposed to being let go in hopes it would look "better" on the resume ? If so was she intending to fool someone down the road and not be transparent to them as to the real reason for separation ? Why would someone so devoted to transparency try to pull off such an exercise in non transparency ?
The institutions of higher learning that are state funded need to understand that the tax base has diminished in most states due to unemployment.
There is no money tree boys and girls
@ Wisconsin Voter: Our sincere condolences on what you guys have been through. You're right, it's no picnic. But if President Sullivan is reinstated UVa will prevail and thrive. No one has said it will be easy and judicious financial decisions will be made......but we UVa loyalists will gather 'round and survive.
Many thanks for the photos Hawes.
Frank Speaker looks more and more like a Dragas shill. Why resign and not fight? Perhaps to spare the university the trauma. Perhaps because what person of dignity wants to work where she is not wanted. No one has suggested that Ms. Sullivan resigned as part of a plan to try to return. I would expect it is only with great reluctance that she will return if the chance is given to her. Indeed, returning to try to work under these circumstances will take great bravery and fortitude. Maybe she is willing to do so because it is important for the University that the precedent be set that removal of a President can only come after due process and sincere, open deliberation and only then for just cause. This principle if far more important than the personal desires of Ms. Sullivan. I expect she knows this.
@Frank Speaker - My friends and I have discussed this. The President serves at the pleasure of the Board. When the Rector and Vice Rector tell you they have unanimous board consent to fire you and offer that you should resign, there is really no other thing to do. Sure, she could have said "I don't believe you, have the vote" and in this case that might have actually led to her staying since it appears that the Rector may have lied to her about the Board unanimity (and I am sure the President did not suspect that the Rector was lying). In any case, we will find out Tuesday if the Rector has the votes.
Well why didn't she stick to principle ? Why not request due process before the Board ? Due process would involve some trauma . The institution would have to go through the trauma to deliver due process . She elected to forego due process . Why so hasty a retreat ? You can't have it both ways Old Wahoo. You have not answered why she quit so hastily , just speculation . Transparency on her part would be preferable to swarming the Lawn and rampant speculation .
Seas ---- She has more than ample access to legal advice . Why wouldn't one request a day or so to permit them to obtain this advice ? A strong leader would suspect they might be getting bluffed . The problem is there is no transparency . She won't disclose the definitive reasons the BOV were disenchanted with her . Coming back after resigning would make for good comedy .
I apologize to the other participants for this cut and paste of a response I posted in another topic. I just couldn't see crediting Frank Speaker (what's with these self-congratulatory aliases?) with a freshly written response, his questions seeming to lack thought and to be mainly posed in order to stir up animosity.
Trolls are never happy unless they're trying to get themselves cornered by people smarter than they are.
So here's my response to Rod, offered now as a reply to Frank Speaker.
@Rod -
Technically, Sullivan was not removed. She technically removed herself by resigning. It's what's called a "forced resignation."
It usually comes about by convincing the individual that it's in his/her interests and in the interests of some institution they value for them to resign rather than force a vote.
They'd probably say "either resign now, or we'll announce that we're calling a vote - a vote we've already engineered - first thing in the morning, and we'll fight payment of severance in court, which will be traumatic for everyone."
If Dragas and Kington convinced Sullivan that they had the 2/3 majority lined up, and that they would offer Sullivan a face-saving "explanation" ("philosophical differences") and offered her a severance payment (or simply guaranteed an existing agreement would stand) - then Sullivan could be expected to resign and then go directly to her attorney.
It's what I'd advise anyone to do in that circumstance.
Frank Speaker,
Sullivan resigned effective on a date in August, she is still President of the University of Virginia. If she remains, and I pray she does, it will be no more a blip that someone submitting their resignation in the corporate world-which to you is apparently the Alpha and Omega of existence-and having it rejected.
There is no evidence the BOV was disenchanted with her; there is every evidence that two board members and an egomaniacal donor were upset she wasn't willing to sell out the University's reputation. In business-speak, that is "monitizing" the "brand".
The rally for honor was outstanding and it appeared to me that there were at least 4K people there, maybe more. I don't believe there would have been any room left on the lawn if this had been tried by Helen Dragas in the middle of the academic year when most everyone affected by this was in town and on grounds.
Does anybody know if we can obtain the full text of all the speeches. They were all fantastic. I especially liked Dean (former Curry) Breneman's and Mitch Green's (Prof of Philosophy) as well as the Dean of Nursing. I had hoped The Hook would have obtained and published these - but I know how busy this newspaper and staff have been! Please tell me where I might read them all!
Re: The removal of President Sullivan:
1. From an old cartoon in the New Yorker: A call screening secretary to her boss, captioned:
"I don't know who he is, but he has three names"
2. According to a New York Review of Books long comment on Mitt Romney's white paper on education, the Dragas board members are in lock step with the ideas advanced by Mr. Romney. All of which must please the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, and maybe even Paul Tudor Jones.
Old Wahoo, actually Frank Speaker has been posting comments bordering on lunacy for some time now, both under that name and sometimes as "Dakota." He/She is a Canadian murder/true crime groupie who was drawn to the Hook because of its coverage of Morgan Harrington's disappearance and who likes to pop up from time to time to comment on local issue of which she has no knowledge. A high priced PR firm would never hire someone so illiterate and uninformed.
Why did President Sullivan resign? Rector Dragas & Vice-Rector Kington pressured her to do so by: Falsely asserting that the Board and Governor's Office was unanimously behind them; that if she didn't go willingly that she would receive no severance package; however if she did go willingly she would have a year's salary, a sabbatical, reinstatement as a tenured professor, etc.
Also, one has to give Rector Dragas credit for her resolute and authoritative charismatic power in creating this mess. Perhaps I shouldn't call it charisma but she has demonstrated an ability to be calculating, ruthless and persuasive. I wouldn't be surprised if Governor McDonnell renews Dragas' term on the Board of Visitors. If he doesn't I would expect that she would disclose the unsavory details regarding the extent of the Governor's involvement in the conspiracy.
Kyle-- here is a link to transcriptions of many of the speeches at yesterday's rally--
@globe - Gov McDonnell's compromise position on the Dragas reappointment would be to reappoint her to the BoV but to name someone else as Rector. I would think politically he has to do at least that (remove her as Rector, that is).
Why do you guys insist that the Rector/Vice-rector lied by representing to Sullivan that 16 members supported her resignation? This was reiterated by Carol Wood, University VP Public Affairs, on the steps of Madison Hall at Sunday, June 10th press conference. She caused confusion by calling them "votes," which led to even more misinterpretation. So much since then is attributable to these 2 key misunderstandings, from the get-go.
Governor Romney is scheduled to be in Virginia on Tuesday, I'm sure Governor McDonnell will be accompanying him and doing his best to look like an executive leader. This may present McDonnell an opportunity to appear resolute and authoritative as dismisses the entire board,
Is anyone else offended by the scolding letter the governor has sent to the UVa community decrying the 'frenzy' of the last 12 days? He seems rather piqued which only points to his tacit approval of Sullivan's dismissal. I hold no UVa degrees, my diplomas are of a modest size, and typically am not a great UVa fan, but I have actually felt UVa pride these last 14 days. Please make an effort to go to the lawn tomorrow afternoon in support of the UVa community.
I note with bemusement that University of Phoenix gets a prominent Google ad.
Of course, Goggle is programmed to scan content and place "relevant" or "related" advertising on websites enabled for Google Ads, but the irony is inescapable just the same.
Think Globe makes some very astute observations. Also perhaps the Dragas qualities as stated, calculating, ruthless, persuasive is exactly what the Governor wants for the leader of the BOV, making her his ideal candidate.

Has anyone at The Hook been able to find out what process would be required to reinstate President Sullivan? Some people commenting on the Governor's statements have been surprised by the inclusion of the point that it takes a 2/3 vote of the BoV to remove the President.
My understanding is that the (currently believed to be) legal steps have been:
1) Sullivan resigned
2) This resignation was accepted
3) The BoV voted to name Dean Zeithaml as (interim) President
Does this mean that it will actually take a 2/3 vote to first remove Zeithaml before Sullivan could be reinstated? It is interesting that in his letter to the BoV, Zeithaml did not resign his position, but just "suspended further negotiations."

@BOV Process - That line of inquiry is very important. I hope the forces on the BoV that are working toward a solution are considering the procedural stuff very carefully. Given that they have Heywood Fralin on their side, I would suspect they are.
I've served on boards but not sure of the procedures required here. It may be that a simple majority can move and pass a resolution overturning the executive committee's acceptance of Sullivan's resignation. That alone would leave things in a slightly ambiguous state but one that potentially could be resolved if Zeithaml makes it clear that he is resigning or doing whatever he needs to in order to give up the position (if he even has a position).
@Wisconsin Voter,
Funny how you come from a state that voted for a college drop-out for governor who has blamed school employees and unions for that state's woes.
We don't buy that bovine scatology and propaganda at UVA, nor do we think the way to run an elite school is to turn it into Phoenix Online University.
You'd best get back to serving Walker and your corporate masters in Wisconsin.
Good question BoV Process. And it is particularly appropriate since this debacle stems from an apparent lack of attention to proper and fair process, in the first place.
E. Mendenhall -- you have identified another good question -- where did the sloppy language come from in the first place? Did Ms. Dragas feed the info to Carol Wood?
My opinions on the details of the mess have evolved to this -- although it is fairly common to offer employees, even high ranking ones, the opportunity to resign instead of being fired, why didn't Ms. Dragas bring up the matter in an executive session of the BoV rather than counting noses surreptitiously? In the absence of information to the contrary, I am led to the conclusion that she was not convinced her view would prevail in a full discussion. Sure, there would have been a chance of leaks, even from an executive session, but the BoV has been pretty tightlipped for two weeks, so that doesn't seem to have been legitimate concern, if it ever was one.
Didn't President Sullivan oppose paying a living wage to underpaid University staff? If so, I'd just as soon take my chances with someone else.
Weevil makes a good point -- U.Va. had quite a few problems before being gifted with the recent scandal. The groundwork for the Board's approach had already been laid by U.Va. in the way that it managed itself - it was hardly transparent or democratic and this disenfranchised many U.Va. workers, minority students and other non-traditional segments of the community. At some point the U.Va. paradigm caved in upon itself because the institution did not abide by its own creed. The current response by the U.Va. community is a somewhat idealist response, wishful thinking about the way U.Va. is supposed to be rather than what it was.
@Wisconsin Voter There's plenty of money around. It's just that thanks to a protracted gutting of the taxes on the wealthy it remains in their pockets for use in discretionary spending projects (like the non-Wisconsin-registered-to-vote Koch Brothers carpetbagging in your state recall vote process). And similarly here we see the wealthy who want to make quid pro quo donations to UVA. We need to tax those who have benefitted from our educational systems and infrastructure so that the money comes back without self-serving earmarks and gets spent toward the academic best interest of our society.
It's my understanding that those seeking and supporting a living wage are in the forefront of the effort to reinstate President Sullivan.
As opposed to this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/virginia-politics/post/mcdonnell-att...
Standing near the front for the entire Rally, I was quite proud of the principled words and thoughts of Faculty and the sincerity and deep emotion by which they were communicated.
I also felt the words and warning presented by the Vice Mayor were fully justified and needed to be said. I have lived in the course of my life so far some 20 years in Charlottesville and in Albemarle County. From my own experience living in the area, I felt her words rang very true.
Mr. Jefferson's Academical Village, our Academical Village, is set firmly in the local context of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. We all need to remember that the destiny of all three are intertwined.
The spirit and the enthusiasm of those on the Lawn was wonderfui to experience and I hope people who could not attend take advantage the stream provided by the Faculty Senate to see the event.
Anonymoose in some threads has rightly urged caution and prudence. Hopefully, we will see our President Sullivan reinstated. But we cannot expect the intrigues against her and against the University to disapper. There are some fundamental issues here regarding state and federal higher education policy which are not going to go away. There are deep designs behind the scenes here.
We have no indication of whom the governor will appoint to the BOV in weeks to come. We have yet to carefully scrutinize what is at play legislatively in our state General Assembly and any impllications of that process for the University.
Thus, should President Sullivan be reinstated and should she continue, we need a Plan A. If this is not the case after this Tuesday we will need a Plan B. The warm civility may have to be tempered by some hard politics.
One would think that it is self-evident to all by now that Plan A should include democratic governance of our University. This would mean voting seats on the BOV for Faculty and for Staff. This may not be so simple to obtain but the current crisis certainly opens the door to the fight for this objective.
No Living Wage for Staff at Mr. Jefferson's University? Well, let's think about what that says...to the world.
"No Living Wage for Staff at Mr. Jefferson's University? Well, let's think about what that says...to the world."
Mr Jefferson had no problems paying many of his employees nothing, because they were slaves.
Seriously, leave the Living Wage out of this fight. We need a unified front. No point in bringind this up
Mr. Kiracofe continues to express my sentiments exactly. The rally was impressive. Much more so than the contentious ones 42 years ago. And he is right. There is something going on behind the scenes. We really don't know what this is all about. And as alumni and constituents of the University community we have a right to know. But will we ever have that right honored? About that I am less than sure. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty!
The University of Virginia owned slaves as well. What a poor way to start a University dedicated to Freedom and Democracy Mr. Jefferson! At the present time we are focused upon the corporate takeover of our university so we are, in the interest of unity, setting aside our age-old unredressed grievances at U.Va.
However it would help if the speakers at the rallies were more racially diverse! It was good that VP for Diversity & Equity (Dr. Marcus Martin) was allowed to speak on Sunday. Dr. Martin wasn't on the speaker's list however and his remarks didn't say a thing about how Diversity and Equity factor in to the present scandal. I hope that U.Va. doesn't think for a minute that everything was perfect before Pres. Sullivan's ouster. In fact, I think that the institutional practices at U.Va. laid the groundwork for the present scandal.
Romney white paper on education + Koch Brothers + McDonnell visit = New BOV then Demise of public education in Virginia
1. Wisconsin dude: Tax the heck out of the corporations and the extremely wealthy, Let's start with going back to corporate and wealth taxes of the Eisenhower administration. Our tax rates have never been so regressive. We would not be having this problem at UVA or any other public university if state politicians had not gone all corporate because our political system has been put up for sale by conservative decisions like the Citizens United case allowing the rich to buy politicians both dem and rep.
2. For all we know President Sullivan was just doing the bidding of the BOV on the Living Wage campaign and was picking her battles on that. But I hope when it comes up again, the lawn will be as full as it has been.
3. With regards to the Slavery and race issue, there is validity here. UVA has a long way to go here. But I do know that the UCARE group had recently met with President Sullivan about their action plans and change to improve UVA's history. I know that she listened and was engaged in these initial conversations and she was planning on following up on these discussion of reconciliation and repair this summer. The current issues surrounding transparency and honor should be a good foundation for further work here and I am confident that President Sullivan will attend to it in a way that no other UVA President ever has.
"The rally was impressive. Much more so than the contentious ones 42 years ago"
See also the UVa uprising of '58.
Let's get everyone out for Tuesday. Would love to see 4000 on the Lawn. A lot of local folks didn't come out. Its like it does not affect them or its not their fight.
This has financial ramifications for the local economy as Szakos said yesterday. It is about all public higher education. Please citizens of Charlottesville please support public education by coming out on Tuesday at 2:30 on the lawn. There are thousands of you who are not speaking out who could just come out and stand.
Is there a Dominion Power connection here? I believe Dragas and Kington are both on the board, as is CEO Thomas Farrell, a former Rector. Farrell apparently was in the same high school class as McDonnell.
And, Farrell reportedly applied for the job of UVa President when President Casteen retired.
was Teresa Sullivan at the rally? Does she want to be re-instated?
@Bleed: "when President Casteen retired"
Or was pushed ahead of his own timeline.
@ Citizen Party June 25th, 2012 | 5:05pm
".... There are thousands of you who are not speaking out who could just come out and stand."
Most of the staff at UVA have no choice of leaving their jobs during the work day to show their support for President Sullivan. There are bills to pay and leaving early is not an option. Minds and hearts are there.....does that count?
Totally counts. I was thinking about about citizens of Cville who might have the freedom to come out. I feel for the Staff who cannot speak out often for fear of losing their job, We saw this in the living wage campaign. I was really glad the Facutly Senate created an action team for outreach to Staff.
Where are the VA delegates, like Del Albo? Delegate Herring? It takes a village -- and the Delegates who spoke out on various UVA issues over the past year need to rise above the ashes and speak again!
Tom Farrell is the gov's brother-in-law, correct? Definitely a puppet-master, that old devil Tom.
Tom has has a reputation for having friends on both sides of the aisle.
Tom has a reputation for a few other things, also.
It is hard to imagine that anyone would seriously think Tom has the gravitas to be a U president.....hmmmm, not gravitas, I think, scruples , maybe the word.
He's always done good things, right?
Tom's had a good life, has a good family , we are sure, and enjoys his big corporate salary.
Tobacco been very very good to Tom.
He believes global warming is real!!!! really!
@Citizen Party June 25th, 2012 | 7:28pm
Thank you Citizen!
I'm sure a large number of the current and retired UVA staff will be thinking of the President this afternoon. We trust her. She made us (the staff that I know personally) feel that we are part of the SOLUTION; that we have a major role in the success of our University and she was counting on us.
Hopefully, in due time, staff members will open up and disclose their feelings about the work environment with their own supervisors. Trust is the core of the soul and it remains to be seen if the Faculty Senate action team can bridge the gap. Discussing other work issues will not be accomplished if trust is missing. I'm praying that the BOV will now trust the words and feelings of their own students, staff, faculty, administrators, alumni, and citizens of the Commonwealth. We do our job; now it's time for you to do YOURS! Do the right thing, reinstate President Teresa Sullivan TODAY!
"Why do you guys insist that the Rector/Vice-rector lied by representing to Sullivan that 16 members supported her resignation?"
Arithmetic. First of all, Dragas and Kington told Sullivan that they had 15 votes. 16 would have been unanimous. But three BOV members have since said that they knew nothing about Dragas' plans to seek Sullivan's resignation. If three weren't even asked, then Dragas' couldn't have counted more than 13 votes in favor. It is, of course, possible that what Dragas and Kington told Sullivan was mis-reported -- if they simply said that they had enough votes to oust her (ie, 12), then that may have been true; but if they said 15 or 16, then they almost certainly were lying.
In a letter to the editor in today's Virginian Pilot, one Waverley I. Berkley III, stoutly defended Rector Dragas. Berkley claimed that the BOV, in executive session, dismissed Ms. Sullivan. Berkley might be confused here. If the press reports of Dargas calling each BOV member one by one were accurate, the dismissal was not done when the Board was in any kind of session,
As others just pointed out Rector Dragas may have arithmetic trouble, If so, the content of her calls to other members might also have included numbers that don't add up.
Another confused person might be the Virginian Pilot headline writer. The Headline over Berkley's letter was"SUPPORT FOR DRAGAS WIDESPREAD" There is no indication in the letter that anyone else supports Berkley's position, although one might guess that Waverley I. Berkley II might agree with his son.

RUSSO'S REBUTTAL: Artisan House, the New York-based contemporary handbag company, is in the process of retooling its game plan, according to chief executive officer Steve Russo.
"Artisan House's decision to exit certain businesses such as Foley + Corinna ready-to-wear, L.A.M.B. and the Narr exotic collection were part of a strategic decision to focus our resources in our current and go-forward business portfolio," Russo told WWD.
This story first appeared in the January 16, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The statement confirmed a story reported by WWD last week that detailed the closure of the aforementioned brands, as well as the departure of several employees, including Dana Foley, cofounder of Foley + Corinna.
Russo told WWD that despite shifts at Foley + Corinna, Artisan House has "enjoyed a fruitful creative relationship with both cofounders," and that the handbag portion of the business has "experienced double-digit increases."
"Anna Corinna continues in her current role as the brand's creative director," Russo said. "Once a suitable rtw partner is secured, we will evaluate all of our creative options. The DNA of the Foley + Corinna brand is firmly intact and compelling."

Pray for Wilson Ramos
Arriving back in Maracay at 3am after a sweep of Margarita usually has a nice feeling to it with players singing on the plane, telling jokes, and playing cards. This trip was a little different after hearing the startling news of the kidnapping of our teammate and friend Wilson Ramos. News traveled throughout the dugout in our second game in Margarita about the suspected kidnapping. It was a very tough situation for many players to hear this and focus on the game. Players stayed attached to their phones following the game to hear if there was any positive news. There has been similar situations in the past with other MLB stars, but never was the actual player taken. It was usually a family member.
We are all praying and hoping for a speedy and safe return of our teammate. He was in our dugout last week at home hanging out and sharing stories with us about the big leagues. We know that our team along with the Venezuelan police are doing everything they can to alleviate the situation. Many friends and family members asked me about the team and my safety. The team and front office staff goes over and beyond with team security. We have about 8-12 armed guards who travel with us on the planes and buses. We also have police escorts to and from the fields. I know the import players feel safe.
This has been a tough week for all of Venezuela, the fans, and of course the players and his family. Please pray for Wilson and his family. You can leave any thoughts or comments below.
