And changes everything...
Hot off the presses from the Harvard Business Review is a warning to stop following advice to be nice, pliable and pretty to get where we have always belonged – in place, in power, and in the money.
Here's the heart of the article encouraging us to stop being Office Stepford Wives (with a grateful hat tip to the awesome Lauren Stiller Rikleen).
We argue for the new criteria that promotes not Stepford but step-forward leadership for women. We need to identify and promote the true leadership qualities that women can bring to the workplace.
This is currently being overshadowed by the Stepford "rules," giving people false expectations of what women in the workplace should be.
We need to write less about what we expect women to do or wear, and more about individual, interpersonal leadership approaches that work. Step-forward leaders have multiple attributes that defy gender stereotyping.
When examining, reporting, or discussing successful women, the emphasis needs to shift away from identifying them only from a gendered perspective and look more at the positive qualities they bring to the workplace.
via Stepford Women in the Workplace – Athena Vongalis-Macrow and Andrea Gallant – Harvard Business Review.
We Must Stop Judging One Another
Closing the wage and leadership gap requires bold women who are prepared to take and transform a little disapproval into enough power to advance their own interests as well as those of their sisters, daughters, nieces, and the girl-kids down the block.
Tales of political sabotage, power plays and turf wars are part of every organization's history. Nonetheless, political competence is the one skill everyone wishes to have more of—but there appears to be a taboo about discussing it.
Many women executives consider corporate "politics" a dirty word and avoid politics like the plague. When that is the case, they have a difficult time becoming involved or viewed as a significant corporate player.
We all know women who maintain, "If I just keep my head down, work hard, and produce beyond what others have been able to accomplish, I will be promoted."
We may believe that ourselves, but this is a myth that continues to hold women back! Becoming "political" is the equivalent of becoming socially aware. It is a vital skill necessary for every executive. However, methods of dealing with corporate politics are not taught in executive education courses or graduate schools.
Building social capital means connecting effectively with people and supporting one another as we maneuver across the corporate landscape's many hills and valleys.

Marouane Fellaini has won the Barclays Player of the Month award for November, while West Bromwich Albion's Steve Clarke has won the managerial award.
The Everton midfielder picked up the award after scoring four goals last month, taking his goal tally to seven for the season by the end of November.
"I work hard; I work every day," Fellaini said. "I try to give my maximum every game. I'm happy but the most important for me is the team."
Clarke's West Brom won four Barclays Premier League matches in a row during November, including a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at The Hawthorns.
"It's a good reward for a good month in November," Clarke said. "It's a good reward to pick up, but it's a reward for the work of my staff and the players.
"The players have done exceptionally well in November. We had a great run and four victories in a row in the Premier League is difficult to do. We managed to do that.
"This trophy is a little reward for them. We wanted to start well and try to build on it. Up until November, we have done really well."

Steven Russo, 48, was a popular statistics and calculus teacher at Seneca Valley High School in Jackson Township, Butler County.
Students liked his style, including that he used March Madness brackets to teach the statistical probability of winning. a page called "I Love Mr. Russo and His Russo-isms" on Facebook.
That Facebook page turned into a place where students poured out their sympathies and memories after Russo was found shot to death in his home along Perry Highway (Route 19) in Lancaster Township on Nov. 24, 2010.
A neighbor told the Post-Gazette that Russo had returned from school for lunch the day before and discovered an intruder in the home. The person just ran out of the house, the neighbor said. At the time, the only thing missing appeared to be a cat that belonged to Heidi Smith, with whom he lived.
Russo moved into the house earlier that year after filing for divorce from his wife of 24 years in July 2010. But, according to the Cranberry Eagle, his family claimed that decision had nothing to do with Smith.
They also revealed that shortly before his death, Russo was planning to move out of the house that Smith, a second-grade teacher in the Mars Area Elementary School, had originally rented for herself. The home was in a rural area north of Zelienople abutting Schott Lane, a narrow, dirt road.
Police said Russo was shot in the side of his head with a small-caliber gun and an autopsy put the time of death between 7 and 10:30 a.m. that Thanksgiving eve. Nov. 24, 2010. His daughter found him dead on the kitchen floor when she stopped by the house later that day.
The Cranberry Eagle reported the home was not ransacked. Antiques and a flat-screen television remained, as did Russo's wallet, which was found in a bedroom.
Police found signs of a forced entry, but haven't determined whether that incident and Russo's death are related.
KDKA-TV reported at the time that Pennsylvania State Police were looking for a pedestrian who may have been walking on state Route 19 near the Log Cabin Restaurant on the mornings of Nov. 23 and 24.
In April 2011, five months after Russo's murder, state police returned to the scene, hoping to find some new clues in the case, according to KDKA-TV. State police said they were investigating a possible suspect.
They searched the area between the home where Russo was found dead and the nearby Log Cabin Inn in hopes of finding evidence before spring foliage began appearing. At the time, police asked for information from anyone in the Zelienople area who had seen something unusual at that site since Russo's death.
Russo was the father of two and served as a 1st lieutenant in the U.S. Army during Desert Storm.
Now, nearly two years since his death, there have been no arrests in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Pennsylvania State Police, Butler Barracks, at 724-284-8100.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas Thousands of Special Olympic athletes are headed to the Bryan/College Station area to compete for glory, but officials say help is needed to make the event run smoothly.
Officials with the Fall Classic Special Olympic event said more than 1,800 athletes will be competing in events like aquatics, bocce and golf in the two-day competition.
Opening ceremonies for the event are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at the Brazos county Expo Complex in the 5800 block of Leonard Road in Bryan. All events are free to the public.
Officials with the event said they need more than 1,000 volunteers to pull an even like this off, and they're running a bit short. Officials said you don't need sports experience to help out. If you're interested, call 800-876-5646, or click on the link below.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.

It's word association time. Say the first word that springs to mind: "holiday ----." Did you think "season"? "Sale"? "Hangover"?
How about "music?" This year, there are plenty of new holiday albums to pick from. Cee Lo Green, English pop-rocker Tracey Thorn and the left-field collective Redtenbacher Funkestra are just a few of the dozens of entertainers with albums out there made for celebrating the season. But which ones will offer yuletide cheer and which will feel like the same old thing, re-gifted?

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
BRIDGE CITY — January is "School Board Appreciation Month" and the Bridge City Independent School District is recognizing these elected leaders. The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) calls the board of trustees and the superintendent a "Team of Eight." Together, they face critical challenges in their roles as advocates, and they continue to stand strong and guard against anything that takes away from children and undermines the public schools. Pictured in front row, from left, is Lon Hubbard, Jerry McInnis, Thad Hill and Mike Johnson. On back row, from left is Mark Anderson, Rebecca Rutledge, Kirk Ellender and Superintendent Mike King.

NORMAN — Norman residents have had a rash of auto burglaries recently. Victims tell us their vehicles are hit early in the morning, usually in their driveways or on the street. Windows are smashed and items grabbed and the thief is off in the night.
Police recommend that cars be parked in a garage if you have one and that all items be removed, so as to not make the vehicle a target if it is parked outside overnight.
Another victim, a senior citizen recuperating from surgery, told us she was the victim of a daytime burglary Friday afternoon at her home near Jackson school. A uniformed man who introduced himself as a tree trimmer for utilities told her he needed to go to the back yard and inspect the trees.
While she was out back with him, his accomplices came in through the unlocked front door and rifled through her home and stole silver items, including a heirloom tray, and other items.
"It's probably melted into a big ball of silver right now," she said.
She wants to warn others in case the scam is attempted elsewhere.

To the editor:
I wanted to thank the BellaMia restaurant in downtown Beverly, and owner Michael LaVita and his staff, for hosting a delightful evening of Frank Sinatra songs on Oct. 17. The sold-out show was a smash success, as the attendees were dressed to the nines as they danced and listened to "Sinatra" as performed by the stylings of Michael Dutra (www.strictlysinatranow.com).
The staff and hospitality at BellaMia's couldn't have been better. We not only enjoyed songs of Sinatra, but were treated to a delicious three-course meal.
Proceeds from the evening will help fund two projects. One being Eleanore's Project (www.eleanoresproject.org), a program that operates a wheelchair clinic in Peru with additional training for caregivers. The other is the award-winning Beverly High School music department.
The Beverly Rotary Club is proud to support these organizations and the great work and music they provide. Plus, a special thanks again to BellaMia for hosting this one-night-only event.

The Valparaiso football team had four players selected by College Sports Madness to its PFL All-League teams, highlighted by the choice of redshirt freshman running back Jake Hutson (Blanchard, Mich./Montabella) as the league's Freshman of the Year.
Hutson, who also was named to the All-League Second Team, led the Crusaders and ranked third in the PFL with 753 rushing yards during his rookie season. The redshirt freshman, who was named to the Jerry Rice Award watch list, also ranked fourth in the league in all-purpose yardage (1,216 yards) and scoerd eight touchdowns for the Crusaders.
Senior punter Greg Wood (Libertyville, Ill./Libertyville) was named to the All-League First Team after leading the league in punting average, averaging 40.9 yards per kick. 14 of Wood's 69 punts sailed at least 50 yards, with back-to-back 60+ yard efforts in the home finale against Davidson. The senior placed 29 of his punts inside the 20-yard line, while only two of Wood's punts went for touchbacks.
Valpo also had a pair of players chosen to the Third Team as well. Senior offensive lineman Bill Bodzianowski (Joliet, Ill./Joliet Catholic) started all 11 games at right guard for the Crusaders in 2012. Junior linebacker Pat Derbak (Schaumburg, Ill./Schaumburg) finished second on the team with 73 tackles, including 37 solo stops and six tackles for loss.

Porky's Drive-In
1890 University AveW
Saint Paul, MN 55104
(651) 644-1790
I have an Achilles heel for hamburgers. When I get stressed I start craving hamburgers. When I want comfort I turn to hamburgers. Finding a pub with a micro brewed beer and a great hamburger is like finding the Holy Grail or Nirvana. Now, there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with a hamburger though you can dress it up as healthy by using turkey, buffalo or tofu with soy cheese and a whole grain spelt bun, but I'll be over at Porky's where grease and oil soaked plain white wrappers are the order of the day.
I have lived in Minnesota for all of my 41 years and had never been to the Saint Paul institution known as Porky's, until last night. Porky's is an old fashioned drive-in burger joint that has been around since 1953. This is the place in the warmer months to check out classic muscle cars from the 50's 60's and 70's. Porky's and the classic car community have been mainstays along University Avenue in Saint Paul for decades. Every Saturday night from May thru October starting at dusk you can see the classic hot rods, Chevy's and Ford's cruising up and down the street. Car enthusiasts from all over bring lawn chairs and coolers to watch a bygone car era go by. Porky's lot is always crammed with cars and I used to say to myself. "I need to get over there and actually eat the food".
Last night I knew nothing but a burger would cut it for dinner. I was on my way to spend the evening with friends and one of them asked me to swing by a liquor store for some beer. I planned my trip to coincide with Porky's drive through. I'm glad I did. I ordered a double cheese with bacon and BBQ sauce and a side of onion rings. Real beef, real cheese, and real bacon came wrapped in a plain white paper wrapper. An onion ring was gently placed atop the bun sprinkled with sesame seeds. My first bite was scrumptious. The onion rings were also the real deal. Real onions dipped in a real batter and deep fried in real oil. I must say, a Schell's beer to wash it all down made my dinner a Minnesota Meal. I'll not kid you, the burgers are anything but healthy, the onion rings are divine. I say indulge in moderation. Oh, and you folks in Northeast Minneapolis? You can now get your Porky's on mere blocks away from Central Avenue and 18th.

Who Killed the Electric Car?, director Chris Paine's renowned documentary about the effort to save GM's EV1 and Toyota's RAV-4 EV, left the identity of the culprit an open question, and for good reason: the electric car wasn't killed; it was wounded. And now, with Nissan's all-electric Leaf and Chevrolet's plug-in hybrid electric Volt coming to U.S. showrooms in November, it's back, healthier than ever.
Plug-In America (PIA), which was born out of the protest to save the 1990s EVs, met at Paine's sprawling hilltop home overlooking Los Angeles Saturday night to celebrate the organization's fifth anniversary and the triumphant re-emergence of the car with a plug.

NEW YORK -- There's no telling how the NHL draft will shake out Sunday before the Sabres pick eighth -- heck, there's no telling whether they'll even stay at No. 8 -- but it's possible Hunter Shinkaruk or Sean Monahan could hear his name called when Buffalo steps to the dais.
They attended the Sabres' scouting combine and interview session this month and walked away feeling both sides benefitted from the experience.
"I went on the ice and I was looking up, and it was another NHL rink that I've skated on now," Shinkaruk, who totaled 86 goals the past two seasons for Medicine Hat of the Western Hockey League, said today at a prospects gathering in Weehawken, N.J. "Everything went well."
Monahan was a one-man show on a poor Ottawa team, which allowed the center to learn every aspect of the game. His scoring ability and two-way awareness would fit in well with Buffalo.
"I think I had a pretty good impression with them," he said along the Hudson River with the New York skyline in the background.
While the draft will definitely happen, there's not much market for trades at the moment, according to Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier.
"It's a pretty quiet area right now," Regier told the Sabres' website this afternoon while answering a question about Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller.

Fresh installments of two familiar franchises hit movie theaters this weekend - Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Guy Ritchie thoroughly botched the latest Holmes by ditching the witty banter of the first movie in favor of generic action that doesn't play to the strengths of its funny, charming stars Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. Mission: Impossible, however, is fantastic. Tom Cruise has grown into his role as a super spy, and the result is the best film in the series.

The P-3 Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) Program consists of a life extension kit that replaces all fatigue-life-limiting structures with enhanced-design components, including the aircraft outer wings, center wing lower section and horizontal stabilizer with new production components and a new metal alloy that is five times more corrosive resistant than the existing material.

The totality of Progress Energy's imminent downsizing fully sank in Thursday when the company said it could erase as much as half of its workforce in downtown Raleigh as part of its planned merger with Duke Energy.
The power company notified its workers to expect corporate operations downtown to shrink to between 1,000 and 1,300 employees. Today about 2,000 people work in the company's two high-rise offices.
Nearly every other downtown Progress employee will be affected. The numbers provided Thursday clear up any illusions the workers may have harbored about the odds of keeping their jobs.
But others greeted the news with a sense of relief that the cuts were not deeper.
Under the merger terms announced in January, Progress gave assurances it would keep a substantial downtown Raleigh presence, but for eight months the company had not put a number on that promise.
"To have that substantial presence is good," said Harvey Schmitt, the CEO of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. "I had hoped for one full building of people and we will have one full building of people."
The loss of hundreds of well-paid workers also was cushioned by last week's announcement that software developer Red Hat plans to move 600 employees into a downtown office tower that Progress Energy will abandon.
The corporate merger, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, will create the country's biggest electric utility, with 7.1 million customers in six states. The combined company will be headquartered in Charlotte and headed by Bill Johnson, currently CEO of Progress.
The electric utility will keep a number of key positions here, including a North Carolina utility president and senior-level executives to oversee a variety of operations.
The Progress job cuts will come through voluntary buyouts, from workers finding other jobs or retiring, and from layoffs. Some losses here will come as a result of Raleigh employees agreeing to move to Charlotte as a condition of keeping their jobs.
In less than two months, Progress workers who fill the company's two downtown high-rises will find out if their positions are slated for elimination. In mid-October, officials will identify positions that will remain in Raleigh and offer buyout packages to remaining employees.
Legal, finance, accounting and other corporate headquarters functions are among the positions that will be consolidated in Charlotte when Progress combines with Duke Energy. Technicians, linemen, power plant operators and other such jobs will be spared.
"This is strictly about downtown Raleigh and corporate support positions that are located here," said Progress spokesman Mike Hughes.
Meanwhile, Red Hat is expected to add to its initial downtown staff of 600. The company has said it would create 540 high-paying jobs over the next nine years.
"This is the best possible outcome for downtown," said David Diaz, head of the Downtown Raleigh Alliance, a group that promotes downtown revitalization. "Having a utility downtown and a software development company next to it is the envy of people in other communities who have my kind of job."
But in the short term, downtown will have several hundred fewer employees, because Progress is cutting more positions than Red Hat's total current local workforce. That's not expected to put downtown restaurants out of business, but the difference will not go unnoticed.
"Everybody they patronize will feel something - how can you not feel it?" said Debbie Holt, co-owner of Clyde Cooper's Barbeque, across the street from the building that Progress is vacating. "When you know people by their first names, and you know about their children going to college, you're going to miss them. All of a sudden you're not going to see them anymore."

Hutchinson Community College is so crowded that officials are negotiating to buy 10 apartments near the campus for student housing.
The college's board of trustees approved spending up to $600,000
on the two-bedroom apartments.
Vice President of Student Services Randy Myers says the college
will house four students in each unit.
The Hutchinson News reports that the community college has
housed some students at a Ramada Inn for part of the last two years
because the dormitories on campus are full. Myers says even if the
apartment deal becomes final in March, some students will still
have to be housed at hotels.

Joe Rooney is certainly getting mileage out of that chicken suit.
In an effort to demonstrate his belief that congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, the Democratic incumbent for Pennsylvania's 13th district, is unwilling to debate him, Republican challenger Joe Rooney has been appearing with a super-sized chicken as of late.
The most recent sighting was outside of the Great American Pub in Conshohocken Wednesday night, while supporters of Rep. Schwartz gathered inside for a fundraising meet-and-greet. It was Schwartz's second visit to the borough in a week, after Conshohocken was added to the 13th in the latest redistricting.
While the meet-and-greet was closed to the press, Neil Deegan, Schwartz's political director, told Patch over the phone that Schwartz was happy to be working with new constituents.
"Tonight was an opportunity for congresswoman Schwartz to come talk with her supporters," Deegan said. "She is very pleased that Conshohocken is now going to be in the 13th district and she looks forward to representing its residents."
Schwartz and Rooney never crossed paths Wednesday night, as his supporters outside said he left for a civic meeting in northeast Philadelphia before the congresswoman arrived. However, Chelsea Allen, a campaign worker who donned the chicken suit, explained the angle.
"We're basically out here because Allyson Schwartz refuses to debate Joe Rooney, and so we want to kind of demonstrate that to the world," Allen said.
Brian Bigelow, a Rooney supporter who was holding a campaign sign next to the chicken, said he agreed with that sentiment.
"She's been in office eight years and never once had a town hall or debate of any kind," Bigelow said. "That's what pulled me off my couch to come here tonight."
When asked about Rooney's request for a debate, Deegan pointed to the candidates' recent public forum appearance in Gwynedd.
"Joe and Congresswoman Schwartz [participated in] a public forum a week and a half ago, and will be holding others in the coming weeks," Deegan said.
Schwartz Holds Conshy Meet-and-Greet, Rooney Brings out Chicken Suit
Both candidates for PA's 13th Congressional District were at the Great American Pub Wednesday night.
Joe Rooney is certainly getting mileage out of that chicken suit.

Election Reforms to Drive Turnout
PSN on November 20, 2009 - 12:39pm
Election Reforms to Drive Turnout
Friday, November 20, 2009
PERMALINK: http://www.progressivestates.org/node/24105
Election Reforms to Drive Turnout
As part of our Shared Multi-State Agenda, the Progressive States Network is working with legislators, advocates and leading experts to promote election reforms that drive voter turnout in states across the country - just in time for the coming 2010 and 2012 election years. Through coordinated, strategic support, PSN and our allies will be working to introduce and advance election reform policies that increase voter turnout in as many states possible, providing model legislation, policy analysis, messaging and more - all of which has been gathered and will be constantly updated on our Shared Agenda Election Reform webpage. Legislators and advocates can contact us about participating and supporting Election Reform campaigns through our website or by emailing email@example.com.
Election reforms are a crucial tool in building increased support for the broader progressive policy agenda. One of the largest impediments to real progressive reform is that our election system often excludes voters — non-white, less-educated, and less wealthy individuals — who are the most supportive of progressive policy changes. Expanding electoral participation to include a larger, more diverse set of voters will increase support for the host of progressive reforms that are supported by the substantial majority of the population whose voices are not always heard at the ballot box. Working state by state to remove barriers to voting and increase participation in the political process will be a fundamental determinant of how successful progressives will be in achieving the broader reforms we are working toward.
Summary of Election Reform Policies to Drive Turnout and Why They Matter
Voters should be given every opportunity to participate in our elections and be apart of a system that assures every voice is heard and every vote is meaningful. As part of our Shared Multi-State Agenda, the Progressive States Network is working to promote three election reforms that further these goals in states across the country: National Popular Vote, Vote by Mail and National Voter Registration Act Compliance. Each addresses a different layer of our electoral bureaucracy - the presidential election process, the options for casting a ballot, and the process of registering voters.
Why These Policies Matter: The last two election cycles have seen progressives win impressive victories across the country. However, these gains remain tenuous in many areas, and progressives must be prepared for history to repeat itself and bring a challenging election in 2010, especially at the state level. Adding to the urgency is the fact that the results of the next election will determine who controls redistricting in each state. Given this state of affairs, measures that can help bolster turnout will be crucial to maintain the enthusiasm voters demonstrated in 2008, which will likely be a prerequisite for continued success nationally and in the states. Each of the three reforms in our election agenda have been embraced by voters and elected officials in several states.
Messaging Election Reforms to Drive Turnout
Election reforms are an essential aspect of achieving the fundamental progressive goal of an inclusive society where every person is able to participate in shaping their community into the place they want it to be. Without broad and unhindered access to electoral participation, minorities, the poor and other groups that lack political power in proportion to their numbers will continue to be marginalized in our society. For these reasons, progressives can speak strongly in favor of voting reforms as a important tool in achieving a just society, and as policies central to achieving the range of our shared goals including health care reform, fair tax policy, and living wages for all workers.
National Popular Vote: NPV garners the support of greater than two-thirds of voters in the 30+ states where it has been polled. The bill has now passed in five states (Maryland, New Jersey, Hawaii, Illinois and, most recently, Washington) with a total of 61 electoral votes, almost a quarter of the total needed for NPV to go into effect. Voters typically support NPV at about 75%, including healthy majorities of Republican voters. Polls in individual states show consistent support as well, with voters supporting it in a range from 68% to 81%. The following messages help address some of the myths and misunderstandings about the consequences of NPV:
Vote by Mail: Vote by Mail is now an option in five states (California, Colorado, Montana, Hawaii, and New Jersey) and has been increasingly popular with voters. California and Colorado have seen the greatest usage with almost a third of California voters voting by mail in November 2008, and an astounding 71% of Colorado voters doing so. Key arguments in favor include:
National Voter Registration Act Compliance: NVRA compliance has been re-implemented by public assistance agencies in five states (North Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Missouri). The messages to expand these successes include:
Building Election Reform Campaigns
Progressive States Network is working with a range of allied organizations so state leaders can tap resources from those groups to help them in their legislative work. We will be working with those allies to strengthen communication between legislators and organizational allies across the states working on our priority election reforms, while providing other technical support as needed during policy campaigns.
Allied national groups are working on every aspect of our election reform agenda. Key organizations are listed below along with critical resources for waging a campaign.
National Popular Vote:
Vote by Mail:
NVRA Compliance:
PSN Support in Your States
PSN has already begun working with legislators and advocates to provide support for them as they introduce election reforms legislation around the country. We'd like to work with many more!
Our policy staff are also available to answer questions and supply information not on the website. Legislators and advocates can contact us about supporting Election Reform campaigns through our website or by emailing email@example.com.
As bills are introduced and sessions begin, PSN will provide ongoing resources and updates on election reform legislation, as well as help coordinate strategy and information sharing with our partners among sponsors and advocates.
