  • How David Kelly of the Golden State Warriors Serves the Winning Team
    Order in the Court: How David Kelly of the Golden State Warriors Serves the Winning Team Skills and Professional Development 1 / 7 As the general counsel of the Golden State Warriors, one of the NBA's best basketball teams, David Kelly lives the life of at least five different general counsel. He serves as a basketball lawyer, startup lawyer, consumer lawyer, real estate lawyer, and media lawyer. That is how the humble and multitalented Kelly oversees the legal needs of Golden State Warriors, an organization that is constantly in the public eye. Just like his team, he brings a focus on excellence and an easy grace, no matter what each day brings him. GC of a basketball team: When Joe Lacob and Peter Guber started looking for a general counsel in 2012 for the team they purchased at the end of 2010, David Kelly jumped at the opportunity. He had just made partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman, a well known Chicago sports and entertainment law firm, and he had done corporate work for various sports teams, including working as outside counsel for Lacob on Guber on their purchase of the team. Kelly explained, "I have always had a passion for the sports and entertainment industries and I had my eye on going in-house in one industry or the other. When I heard Lacob and Guber were going to hire a GC, I knew it would be my dream job. The Warriors were struggling as a franchise at the time, but I knew Lacob and Guber had the tools and a plan – and Stephen Curry – and would turn things around.

  • Children Bond with SJSU Parents Employees Fired
    SERVING SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1934 SPARTANSPARTAN DAILYDAILY WWW.THESPARTANDAILY.COM VOLUME 122, NUMBER 53 FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2004 Children bond with SJSU parents Employees fi red for taking photos of soldiers’ caskets Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Pentagon lost its tight control over the images of coffi ns returning from Iraq as about 350 such images were released under the Freedom of Information Act and a Seattle newspaper published a similar photo taken by a military contractor. After Dover Air Force Base, the main port for returning remains, released hundreds of government photos of the ceremonies, the Defense Department ordered Thursday that no more photographs be released. In addition, two employees for defense contractor Maytag Aircraft were fi red after the Pentagon complained about a photo of fl ag-draped caskets taken by one of them appeared in the Seattle Times. In March 2003, on the eve of war in Iraq, the Pentagon ordered an end to all media coverage of ceremonies for the returning remains of soldiers killed overseas. Although Dover already had such a policy, the Pentagon action enforced a military-wide ban on images of fl ag-draped caskets that dated from late 2000 but had not been followed. With few exceptions, the ban had remained in force until recent days. But last week, about 350 photos from Dover were released under a Freedom of Information Act request by Russ Kick, a First Amendment advocate who runs a Web site called the Memory Hole (www.thememoryhole.org). Dover had recommended that Kick’s request be denied, but offi cials at Air Mobility Command headquarters at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois authorized the release on appeal.

In one (1) day, these groups came together to build a brand new park in Parchester! The planning committee engaged Parchester residents and children in designing their open space at “Design Day” in July 2014. During Design Day, children and residents shared their dreams for their open space. The planning committee reviewed the wishes and placed the dreams into a reality on Build Day, Saturday October 25th. Preparation of the site was completed three days prior to Build Day and RichmondBUILD was diligent in prepping the site to ensure it was ready for volunteers. The beautification of the Parchester Park Project includes a new play structure, rehabilitated baseball diamond, landscaping that included the planting of 37 trees, children’s musical garden, picnic benches, a BBQ grill, and an arbor covering the picnic benches. This year “Make A Difference Day” was combined with Arbor Day which was hosted by Richmond Trees.
