with Eric Davis of Elliot & Davis, PC
Thursday, April 25th, 6:30 PM—8 PM
Assemble, 5125 Penn Avenue
You’re up and running. Projects are coming in and clients are spreading the word about your good work. There’s not much time for sorting through legal mumbo-jumbo. Does it matter anyway?
Yes. Pittsburgh attorney Eric Davis has worked with start-ups, entrepreneurs, creatives and social businesses for much of his career. He’s seen it all. Let Eric answer your legal questions: incorporation, contracts, and the ins and outs of small-claims court are some of the lions that will be tamed at our first Lesson from the 6% Place on April 25th.
No RSVP is required and seating at Assemble will be first-come, first-served.
Lessons from the 6% Place is a free series that aims to make the business part of running one’s own creative business less scary with spirited workshops led by subject experts with an affinity for the creative community.

Has compiling code on Saturday nights lost its luster? Why not get to know the technology groups in Pittsburgh instead? The Western PA Linux Users group invites you to join us on Saturday, April 20 at our first-ever Pittsburgh Geek Bowl for a night of bowling, beer, and brotherhood!
And if you're not keen on bowling, how about a preview of Google Glass? Yours truly, Justin Smith, was among the 8,000 individuals who received an invitation to Project Glass to shape the future of wearable computing. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Google-Glass-Explorer-augmented-reality-contest-8000,21721.html
I'll be talking about my winning proposal: "#ifihadglass I'd become a reporter for a next-generation netcast where I attend technology events, broadcasting what I see and who I interview over Google+ Hangouts, all while a team of remote commentators in the Hangout deliver feedback and analysis."
I want to show everyone what Pittsburgh's technology community has to offer. I can't do it alone, though; I'll need your help. Want to learn more? Want to help out? Come on over! I'll answer any questions about Glass as best I can, but keep in mind that I don't actually have it yet.

Good bye Steven Adams, an ex-Pitt basketball player departing after his freshman season
My Facebook posting in the wake of the news that Adams is departing Pitt.
There is more than one professional basketball league in this world. Perhaps he is not ready for the NBA. But, it sounds as if he is ready for a pay check. That money for student athletes is something that the NCAA does not allow -- yet -- still. And just getting to campus from New Zealand has got to be very costly. Good Luck Kiwi! Send us some others. Now let's get these players some pocket change from those NCAA TV contracts so that they are not slaves to million dollar coaches and spoiled ADs (Athletic Directors) who are known to pitch a fit against young kids.
That last mention goes to the situation at Rutgers University, a soon to be Big 10 program in New Jersey that tolerated a men's basketball coach until the video was leaked. The AD there should be fired too.
In other news, Ware gets a t-shirt.

| As some city schools move into WPIAL, Obama baseball and softball players wonder, 'What about us?' Posted: 02 Apr 2013 07:58 AM PDT When the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (WPIAL) agreed to take certain city schools into their association in certain sports, it meant that they would work with a City League consortium to pick and choose the schools and sports that they would allow in the league. The biggest name in scholastic sports in this region and certainly one of the best known in the country, the affects of the movement from City League into WPIAL impacts the students at Pittsburgh Obama greatly in an unfortunate way. The swimming and soccer team were in the WPIAL this year for the first time with mixed results. Yet the baseball and softball teams remain in what's left of the city league. Allderdice, Carrick and Brashear have all been accepted into the WPIAL for competition but that leaves three high schools, Obama, Perry, and Westinghouse, to compete among themselves. This "city league" no longer has a championship and each of the schools only have 6 game schedules, which are against the other two schools. Athletic directors at Obama, Perry and Westinghouse schools could try to set up exhibition games with teams in the WPIAL but it's very hard since they have a full season to prepare for and don't have the time to play an off the record game. And of course, the poor weather has played a part in the inability to schedule games. But while the WPIAL thrives in its own monopoly of sorts, it leaves some schools in the dust with nowhere to go. This is the case with Obama baseball and softball, and while the decision to move into the WPIAL is greeted as being a good one by most, the apparent memory lapse about schools left behind is another thing altogether. "The committee that came up with this plan ought to be ashamed of itself." Harsh words from 25 year fast-pitch softball coach—and former Obama baseball coach—Mr.Kocur. He is describing his feelings as city teams join the WPIAL in baseball and softball this spring…and leave Obama, Perry and Westinghouse behind. "It's outrageous, it's reprehensible. In all of my years of coaching, it's the worst thing I've seen a governing body do," Kocur says. " The lack of foresight in this case just numbs the mind. No one thought of the schools being left behind or of the student-athletes? Outrageous." Athletic Director Mr.McGee agrees. "It's crazy….just crazy." Leaving three schools behind irks him, as well. "There are so many teams in the WPIAL. I would have to print off a sheet to name them all. We should be on that sheet." Magee believes that playing in the WPIAL improves city players' overall level of play and that the competition is inspiring, giving city players exposure they normally wouldn't receive. More pointedly, he feels Obama can eventually compete with the WPIAL. To his credit, McGee has been able to schedule baseball games against Bishop Canevin, Sto Rox and Keystone Oaks.But he is disappointed in noting that he has not had much more luck in adding exhibition games with WPIAL schools, especially with the horrible weather we've had. Softball Coach Ms.Wagner feels a bit differently about the entry into the WPIAL to begin with. "Overall, softball in the city is terrible…there is no ability to build a program and we're playing kids on a different level in the WPIAL. Given those facts, Wagner doesn't see competing in the WPIAL as being an option for an Obama."We don't have the talent to compete.," and without a feeder program from elementary/middle school or the community recreational leagues, "We don't stand a chance against WPIAL teams." Still, none of this explains why three city schools were left behind. None of this explains the reasoning that would entail a student who loves baseball or softball having a six game schedule. None of this explains why a city parent, who pays taxes, would agree with the city's own not having a real season and chance for a real championship. "Obama and Perry may have taken some lumps in the first few years if they were moved into the WPIAL, but they have the numbers of kids actually playing, " Mr.Kocur says. "They have the interest in the sport. How do you just leave them behind?" Meanwhile, Golf and Swim team coach Mr.Rauterkus sees the positives and the negatives of the move. He believes that sweeping changes in terms of the approach to athletics is needed." The city has always had talented student athlete and some dedicated coaches. But we all know that the opportunities for city residents and that of our suburban competitors are not similar, he says. " We have plenty of catch up to do. But, the pressing need is to make the top administrators see the value of wholistic athletic programs and then expend the energy to empower our coaches. Most of all, these are economical, efficient and healthy mental investments." Mr.Rauterkus believes that perhaps the moves were made without putting the necessary emphasis on upgrading athletics in PPS. "Some reformers wanted to migrate PPS teams to the WPIAL, but all were in full agreement that serious overhauls and upgrades to PPS sports programs and opportunities were necessary." So it seems that some recommendations were accepted and some just set aside. And within this, little thought was given to the schools that were left behind in every sport. "I'm just at a loss to explain how that can happen," Kocur says. "It just can't happen." Perhaps baseball player Cam Miller put it best. "I think it stinks. You get better by playing the best competition," he said. "I'd much rather be playing WPIAL schools." |

Fwd: Proud of Our Lady Bears
FGCU coach bolts for Southern Cal.
Pitt fires women's basketball coach after two seasons without a win in the Big East. Bye Agnes.
On March 30, 2013, Steve Alford signed a seven-year, $18.2-million contract to become the head men's basketball coach of UCLA, replacing the fired Ben Howland, fired after 10 years and former Pitt coach via Northern Arizona. Alford was a New Mexico prior to UCLA and his team let me down in this year's chart, by the way.

Subject: Proud of Our Lady Bears
| Dear Baylor Nation: Our hearts are broken. We thought we could — and would — do it: Back-to-back national championships by our beloved Lady Bears and their (already) legendary Hall of Fame Coach, Baylor's incomparable Kim Mulkey. The first half of our Easter Sunday game was unspeakably frustrating for those of us yelling (very) loudly in the stands at the Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City, yet we knew that our magnificent team could battle back. Sure enough, our Lady Bears nearly pulled out a stunning victory. With 10 minutes remaining, the "unbelievably believable" comeback began. This was an epic struggle which we thought we had won with just seconds left to play. But it was not to be. We now pause to express heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful Coach Kim Mulkey, her hard-working assistant coaches, and our fabulous Lady Bears. This was yet another stellar season, with our Lady Bears winning 34 games, and in the process coming away (once again) with the Big 12 Championship and the Big 12 Tournament Championship. This was also a banner year in which Brittney shattered record after record. We salute this magnificent team. These student-athletes — and their coaches — will forever be remembered by Baylor Nation — and indeed, the entire country. As we look ahead to the men's NIT Semi-Final basketball matchup with BYU tonight at storied Madison Square Garden, we wish Coach Scott Drew and his team the inspiration and determination to carry them into the Championship game Thursday night. The nationally-televised game tonight is at 6 p.m. Central Time on ESPN2. Many of us are here in New York where — like all of Baylor Nation — we will be cheering on our team. All of our student-athletes make us proud. We wish them the very best. Sic 'em Bears! Blessings, Ken Starr | ||
