Oct. 30, 2014 Update The Giants have won the World Series THREE out of the last FIVE years, and though I've seen a few "NoH8" tweets along with celebratory congratulations, it seems that today's essay by Apple CEO Tim Cook has once again given me a shoulder shake as to why his declaration is important for civil rights and human rights activists everywhere.

Aug 5, 2010 Meet Sabore Ole Oyie. My teen's about to, as is her BFF and BF. Yep, this afternoon I’m bringing a few teens for a "reality show" not to be missed at the Global Leaders for Justice Innovation dialogues.
