Best of ColoradoBiz: Feel like a fraud?
Most of us do at timesTC North
Fifty, 150, 500? I can't even count the number of highly successful entrepreneurs, sales professionals and executives who've said to me, "I feel like a fraud" (or something similar). I think most of us have had this feeling at one time or another, like this extremely powerful businessman, whom I'll call Dan.
Dan was a brilliant, well-read, successful entrepreneur and public figure who used to enjoy speaking. However, it now terrified him. The greater his success, the more he felt like a fraud and the more he feared that people would find out he was a fraud. The fear of being found out was the underlying cause of his fear of public speaking.
Everyone who felt like a fraud had a secret. What was Dan's secret? He'd dropped out of the eighth grade, gotten a GED diploma and never attended college. Now he was in business negotiating multimillion dollar deals with Harvard MBAs, some of the most brilliant business minds in the country. His greatest fear: "What if they find out I'm an eighth grade dropout?"
You're only as sick as your secrets! Our secrets (our shame) can manifest in all kinds of emotional or even physical symptoms, and they can block success. Dan's fear of being discovered as a fraud was limiting his success. To overcome this fear, Dan took two courses of action:
1. Speak the truth; it will set you free. Dan revealed his life story, which was published on the front page of the business section in his city's paper. It was about an incredibly brave, tough, underprivileged, intelligent boy who survived on the streets of the ghetto where many die. To get by, he studied martial arts and became a highly ranked karate fighter. To get off the streets and out of the ghetto, he became a voracious reader and educated himself through amazing desire, self-discipline and free library books. A true high performer!
Dan eventually built several successful businesses and became a master at putting together multimillion dollar deals with some of the country's most financially savvy businesspeople. His published story created admiration and respect for him throughout the business community, and he no longer had any secrets. By exposing everything in the story, Dan released much of his fear.
2. Transform fear into excitement. In his second course of action, Dan completely reframed his fear from having a negative charge to a positive charge, more like excitement. Here's how he did it: He was an adrenaline junkie who loved to rock climb, parachute, paraglide - anything physical that scared him. When I realized that, we had this conversation:
TC: "Is public speaking scary?"
Dan: "Yes, it scares the [pee] out of me!"
TC: "Great!" He looked bemused. I continued, "Let's reframe your thinking so you view public speaking like jumping out of an airplane, something that scares you that you ... love to do."
Dan: "That's creative - let's do it!"
After engaging in an in-depth reframing process, he stated his new belief:
Dan: "I love public speaking - what a rush!"
We laughed. It was a unique solution to a common fear, but it worked for him!
Not long after this, Dan was invited to be a guest on Nightline, speaking to millions of people on TV. He handled the interview with grace - he'd turned his fear into strength and was more confident than ever.
Do you have secrets? Do they limit your success? Have the courage to set yourself free. Go here to learn more.

Back in 2006 for an IJS judging seminar they used Gary Beacom as an example of excellent skating skills, just because of the control he had.

When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
He's Canadian/a Canadian citizen.
I watched Gary Beacom skate in Sun valley years ago, and also on TV many times after that. He was an incredible, unique, entertaining skater.
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
True, and I believe he cannot return to the US to skate (nor does he want to as far as I know).
"Once you've skated together long enough, and you're really good friends, you can close your eyes, put your hand out and she's right there." Joe Dolkiewicz, 2011 US Novice Pairs Bronze Medalist
Gary Beacom was a brilliant show skater and quite a scholar too, having degrees in physics and philosophy. He was also the tour skate-sharpener for COI for quite a few years. IIRC he did defended his own case on his tax evasion trial, which wasn't the best decision but would appear to be not inconsistent with his attitude about evading the taxes in the first place. Also I seem to recall reading that his job while in prison involved education for other inmates.
Going your own way on ice is one thing, but it doesn't always carry over so well in real life!
Would it be possibe for the moderators to change the name of this thread to his actual name?
I just did it actually because every time I saw the title it confused me!
As for Beacom, he was easily my favorite pro in the early 90's one of the most creative and innovative skaters ever. His baggy pants program was some of the most interesting stuff ever done on skates without a single conventional jump or spin. I'm still in awe.

Thanks for changing the thread title too. It confused me.
Nice to see some Gary Beacom love.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
I had heard that Gary once did a pro routine to recorded bird calls. Does anyone have a copy of it?
He was memorable as an amateur skater, too. I still recall his performances at Worlds in Ottawa 1984! I couldn't find them on youtube, so I didn't link them.
"Malevolent Landscapes," performed under darkened lights in Sun Valley, just took my breath away. I skated and judged in SV for a bunch of summers while he was there, saw the skates on ice in person, "I'm Your Man," and lots of others. He was pure genius, although Frank Nowosad did work with him on choreo quite a bit.
I've loved everything he's done on the ice.

G. Edward Griffin
|G. Edward Griffin
November 7, 1931
Detroit, Michigan, U.S.
|University of Michigan
BA in speech and communications, Certified Financial Planner
|Documentary film producer, writer, lecturer
|Known for
|Documentaries and books
G. Edward Griffin (born November 7, 1931) is an American film producer, author, and political lecturer.[1] He is perhaps best known as the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island (1994), a critique of much modern economic theory and practice, specifically the Federal Reserve System.
Starting as a child actor, he became a radio station manager before age 20. He then began a career of producing documentaries and books on often-debated topics like cancer, Noah's ark, and the Federal Reserve System, as well as on libertarian views of the Supreme Court of the United States, terrorism, subversion, and foreign policy. Since the 1970s, Griffin has promoted laetrile as a cancer treatment,[2] a view considered quackery by the medical community.[3][4] He has also promoted the Durupınar site as hosting the original Noah's ark, against skeptics as well as near-Ararat Creationists. He has opposed the Federal Reserve since the 1960s, saying it constitutes a banking cartel and an instrument of war and totalitarianism.[5] In 2002, Griffin founded the individualist network Freedom Force International.
Early life and education[edit]
Griffin was born in Detroit, Michigan, on November 7, 1931, and became a child actor on local radio in 1942. By 1947, he was emceeing at WJR (CBS), and continued as announcer at WUOM and station manager at WWJ-TV (NBC), 1950–1955. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1953, majoring in speech and communications.[6] Griffin served in the United States Army from 1954 to 1956, reaching the rank of sergeant.[1]
Political advocacy[edit]
By 1964, Griffin had completed his first book, The Fearful Master, on the United Nations, a challenging topic that recurs throughout his writings. When George Wallace ran for President of the United States in the election of 1968, winning five states for the paleoconservative third-party American Independent Party, Griffin served as a writer for Wallace's vice presidential candidate, Curtis LeMay,[1] a retired General of the Air Force. In the next year, Griffin began producing political films for American Media of Los Angeles[1] (later moving to Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, California), of which he is president.[7] While he describes his work as the output of "a plain vanilla researcher", Griffin also agrees with the Los Angeles Daily News characterizing him as "Crusader Rabbit".[8]
Griffin has been a member and officer of the John Birch Society for much of his life[9][10] and a contributing editor to its magazine, The New American.[11] Since the 1960s, Griffin has spoken and written at length about the Society's theory of history involving "communist and capitalist conspiracies" over banking systems (including the Federal Reserve System), American foreign policy, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the United Nations.[9][12][13] From 1962 to 1975, he completed nine books and seven film productions; his 1969 video lecture, More Deadly Than War: The Communist Revolution in America, was printed in English and Dutch. In 1974, he published World Without Cancer, and in 1975, he wrote a sympathetic biography of Society founder Robert W. Welch, which was well received by members of the organization.[14][15] Six of his documentaries from the early period were re-released in 2001 as Hidden Agenda: Real Conspiracies that Affect our Lives Today.
Health advocacy[edit]
In 1974, Griffin wrote and published the book World Without Cancer,[16][17] and released it as a documentary video; its second edition appeared in 1997, and it was translated into Afrikaans, 1988, and German, 2005. In the book and the video, Griffin asserts that cancer is a metabolic disease facilitated by the insufficient dietary consumption of amygdalin, a view unsupported by science which has been rejected by the medical community. He contends that "eliminating cancer through a nondrug therapy has not been accepted because of the hidden economic and power agendas of those who dominate the medical establishment"[18] and he wrote, "at the very top of the world's economic and political pyramid of power there is a grouping of financial, political, and industrial interests that, by the very nature of their goals, are the natural enemies of the nutritional approaches to health".[19]
Griffin also advocates the use of Laetrile, a semi-synthetic derivative of amygdalin as a treatment for cancer, often referencing the work of Dean Burk to support the use of Laetrile.[20] Since the 1970s, the use of Laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the scientific literature as a canonical example of quackery and has never been shown to be effective in the treatment or prevention of cancer.[3][4][21]
The author of a critical review of World Without Cancer asserts that Griffin "accepts the 'conspiracy' theory ... that policy-makers in the medical, pharmaceutical, research and fund-raising organizations deliberately or unconsciously strive not to prevent or cure cancer in order to perpetuate their functions". The reviewer concludes that although World Without Cancer "is an emotional plea for the unrestricted use of the Laetrile as an anti-tumor agent, the scientific evidence to justify such a policy does not appear within it".[22]
Griffin's websites refer visitors to doctors, clinics, and hospitals with alternative cancer treatments,[23] including sellers of Laetrile.[16][24] He does not sell Laetrile himself.[16]
Griffin founded The Cancer Cure Foundation "in December of 1976 as a non-profit organization dedicated to research and education in alternative cancer therapies".[25] The foundation expanded its mission in March, 2002 to include disseminating information about other medical conditions, and it changed its name to The Cure Research Foundation. During the 1980s, Griffin returned to producing films about terrorism, subversion, and communism.
The Creature from Jekyll Island[edit]
Griffin enrolled in the College for Financial Planning in Denver, Colorado, and became a Certified Financial Planner in 1989.[26] He described the U.S. money system in his 1993 movie and 1994 book on the Federal Reserve System, The Creature from Jekyll Island.[1] This popular book[27][28] has been a business bestseller;[29][30] it has been reprinted in Japanese, 2005, and German, 2006. The book also influenced Ron Paul during the writing of a chapter on money and the Federal Reserve in Paul's New York Times number-one bestseller, The Revolution: A Manifesto, which recommended Griffin's book on its "Reading List for a Free and Prosperous America".[31]
The title refers to the November 1910 meeting at Jekyll Island, Georgia, of six bankers and economic policymakers, who represented the financial elite of the Western world.[32][33] The meeting was recounted by Forbes founder B. C. Forbes in 1916,[34] and recalled by participant Frank Vanderlip as "the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System".[35] Griffin states that participant Paul Warburg describes the Jekyll Island meeting as "this most interesting conference concerning which Senator Aldrich pledged all participants to secrecy".[36]
Griffin's work stresses[37] the point which Federal Reserve chair Marriner Eccles made in Congressional testimony in 1941: "If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money."[32] Griffin advocates against the debt-based fiat money system on several grounds, stating that it devours individual prosperity through inflation and it is used to perpetuate war. He also described a framework of central bankers underwriting both sides of an ongoing war or revolution.[38] Griffin says that the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the World Bank are working to destroy American sovereignty through a system of world military and financial control, and he advocates for United States withdrawal from the United Nations.[11][39]
Edward Flaherty, an academic economist,[40] characterized Griffin's description of the secret meeting on Jekyll Island as "conspiratorial", "amateurish", and "suspect".[41] Griffin's response was that Flaherty had miscategorized the book with other publications and had labeled all criticisms of the Federal Reserve as the results of conspiracy theory.[42]
Griffin's advocation of a free-market, private-money system superior to the Fed caused Bernard von NotHaus to deploy such a system in 1998. Griffin states that von NotHaus's private silver certificates, known as Liberty Dollars, are "real money".[43]
The "Mandrake mechanism"[edit]
Also known as the money multiplier effect, the Mandrake mechanism is a term coined by Griffin in this book. Mandrake the Magician was a comic strip character from the 1940s. He had the ability to magically create things and, when appropriate, make them disappear.[44] Griffin's view is similar to many other gold-standard supporters' critique of the fractional-reserve banking system and the Federal Reserve in particular: that it makes money "magically" appear from nothing.
In Griffin's view, the "magical" quality of this mechanism is really just a simple mathematical limit. When banks loan money, they don't actually loan existing money. Rather, they allocate money to loan, but they are limited by how much money they can create. The law basically says that, for each dollar a bank has on hand in one of its savings accounts, it is allowed to create another 90 cents to give out as a loan. (The dollar from the savings account is still there, and can still be spent by the person who owns the savings account.) This loan is then spent, and the recipient puts it into another bank, and that bank can now loan 90 cents times 0.9 = 81 cents. This can be repeated many times (depending on the demand for loans) until it approaches its mathematical limit of 10 dollars.
For example, when the Federal Reserve holds on deposit 1 billion in marketable United States Treasury security then the banks in the banking system, public and private, and bound by U.S. financial law, are able to generate 10 billion in new debt over time.
Noah's ark[edit]
Also during this time, Griffin wrote and narrated the 1992 documentary The Discovery of Noah's Ark, based on U.S. Merchant Marine officer David Fasold's 1988 book, The Ark of Noah.[45] Griffin's film said that the original Noah's ark continued to exist in fossil form at the Durupınar site, about 17 miles (27 km) from Mount Ararat in Turkey, based on photographic, radar, and metal detector evidence. Griffin also narrated that towns in the area had names that resembled terms from the Biblical story of the flood. He presented a viewpoint that the flood might have been the action of massive tides caused by a gravitational interaction between Earth and a large celestial body coming close to it.[8]
Popular Mechanics stated Fasold had described his research as "radar imagery ... so clear that Fasold could count the floorboards between the walls";[46] Griffin has continued to promote this view, as did Fasold's co-researcher Ron Wyatt and Wyatt Archeological Research.[47] Creationists Andrew Snelling and John D. Morris prefer a near-Ararat site; Snelling supports geologist Tom Fenner's view that "a great deal of effort was put into repeating the radar measurements acquired in 1986 by Wyatt and Fasold ... After numerous attempts over a period of one and a half days [Geophysical Survey Systems] were unable to duplicate their radar records in any way."[48][49] Fasold himself revisited the site evidence with geologists Ian Plimer and Lorence Collins and came to doubt his initial position, saying, "I think we have found what the ancients said was the Ark, but this structure is not Noah's Ark."[50][51][52]
Political advocacy[edit]
In 2002, Griffin founded Freedom Force International.[53] whose members value individual freedom above government power. The organization's position that the exclusive role of government is to protect people's rights and property, not to provide services like welfare, reflects Griffin's view that collectivism and freedom "are mortal enemies." One of the organization's stated goals is to elect people with such views to government offices and onto the boards of nonprofit organizations – true to its motto, "Don't fight city hall when you can be city hall."
In 2006, Griffin was interviewed for the documentary film America: Freedom to Fascism.

Jessica Alba
While Alba's nonstop career has allowed her to portray a wide variety of personalities--everything from a hip-hop dancer with a heart of gold (how can you not love Honey?!) to an ingénue to a superhero to a tough-as-nails immigration officer in the recent thriller Machete--in the third installment of the hilarity-inducing Meet the Parents franchise, she flexes her acting muscles once again as an in-your-face pharmaceutical rep falling for Ben Stiller's character. Yet, while Alba's on-screen shenanigans may have us rolling on the floor, her sartorial picks are no laughing matter! This starlet is serious about style this season, starting with Narciso Rodriguez's Resort 11 collection, which caught her eye with its '90s-inspired flair. In light of the holidays, she's also in the market for some party-perfect pieces like Preen's Bridget Dress ($2032), which was another one of her stellar selections! As for the rest of what our enigmatic Guest Editor adores this festive month, well, you're just going to have to read on to find out!
Joya Reserve Caprice de la Mode Candle ($32)
Alba gets an A+ when it comes to etiquette; after all, she spotlighted this lavender and cardamom-scented candle as an ideal hostess present for the holiday season--one she would find equally delightful to give as well as receive. We couldn't agree more with this tasteful selection; an elegant addition to any room, this refined candle is sure to elevate and add a touch of the exotic to any surroundings.
Anndra Neen Cage Circle Ring ($145)
Inspired by French medieval armor and accented with spikes or cage detailing, Anndra Neen jewelry has a definite edge. Yet, the baubles' handcrafted aspect instantly upgrades these mixed-metal pieces to make them feel like a work of art. Alba clearly loves these museum-worthy adornments as she was recently spotted at the American Music Awards using the Checkered Choker ($575) and the Ying Yang ($475) and Mini Cage ($395) Cuffs to add tough-girl panache to her Cushnie et Ochs architectural, one-shouldered frock. As such, it's no surprise that she also adores this ring!
Revlon Top Speed Nail Color ($6) in Emerald
Alba has been the Brand Ambassador for Revlon since 2007, which means that in addition to starring in numerous global campaigns, she also lends her time to philanthropic activities such as last May's Revlon Run/Walk. This January will see her extending her beauty duties to be the face of the new Top Speed Nail Enamel line which includes this Wizard of Oz-worthy gemstone hue, available at your local drugstore January 11th. We love the mesmerizing green color--it's an ideal accent for Resort's minimalist and floral-print pieces--and will easily leave others green with envy and lusting over your marvelous manicure!
Vince Rugby Sweater ($265)
Alba can't live without her cozy sweaters, and routinely pairs them with everything from skirts to leggings, depending on the day. To add some seasonal flavor into her knits, she's reaching for this sparkly, striped Vince sweater, which is sure to get any outfit in the holiday spirit!
Nobody Cult Skinny Jeans ($209) in Junkie
Skinny jeans are undoubtedly a closet essential, and we could dedicate days searching for the perfect pair! Luckily, Alba did the dirty work for us and sleuthed out Nobody's light blue version as her denim of choice. It's a savvy choice; this Australian cult brand has quickly seeped into the denim consciousness, with sightings on fashion favorites like Rihanna and Zoe Saldana, in addition to our Guest Editor herself. The strategically distressed bottoms have the perfect amount of stretch, so they're readily adaptable to whatever the day brings, meaning that "Mom jeans" they are anything but!
Jeffrey Campbell Daisy D Shoes ($140)
We're longtime fans of Jeffrey Campbell's chunky boots and wild wedges, so we were accordingly elated when Alba selected one of the brand's new spring shoes as her footwear du jour. The petite starlet loves the chunky platform for the extra leg-lengthening boost, while the cheetah pattern is in perfect keeping with the recent animal-print craze.
La Mer Crème de la Mer ($230)
We like a lady who's loyal to her products, particularly when they truly perform. Alba owes her dewy complexion to this celebrity-adored standby, so we know it's definitely investment-worthy to say the least!
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Bridget Dress ($2032, 305.864.0202)
As seasoned stalkers of Alba's top-notch style, we know she often flips for a frock with a fitted bodice and A-line skirt. Thus, we weren't surprised when she selected Preen's runway stunner for her festive holiday fare. The crimson hue is spot-on for the soiree-studded season, while the full-skirted shape is refreshingly au courant. Try Nanette Lepore's Ingrid Dress ($368) or Zara's Tulip-Skirt Dress ($169) if you, too, would like to get your hands on a vermillion party frock; all three would look excellent with lace-up black booties for a directional cocktail look.
Narciso Rodriguez Essence Iridescent Eau de Perfume ($78)
While having a go-to scent is always a must, we appreciate someone who isn't afraid to mix it up and dabble in something new. With this in mind, Alba selected Narciso Rodriguez's latest spring release--a floral, powdery fragrance with notes of iris and rose. The light and feminine scent is quite versatile--Alba enjoys that it is equally appropriate for day or night--plus the mirrored bottle is seductively unfussy, and will look sleek amidst the collection on your countertop.
Coach Greta Glam Beret ($98)
A chic chapeau is an absolute necessity as the weather turns frigid--or to stealthily disguise day-old hair--and this offering from Coach is just too cute to pass up! Alba already has it in her accessory arsenal; she just wore it for an appearance on the Today Show earlier this week, expertly using it to punctuate a wintery look consisting of a gray dress, a charcoal coat, and a masterfully knotted light gray scarf.--Liza Kaplan

Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine in an attempt to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt, transported by Boba Fett on his Slave I.
Jabba continues speaking, as Threepio nervously translates. Boushh listens, studying the dangerous creatures around the room. He notices Boba Fett standing near the door.
Boushh leans against a column with gunfighter cool and surveys the scene, his gaze stopping only when it connects with a glare from across the room. Boba Fett is watching him. Boushh shifts lightly, cradling his weapon lovingly. Boba Fett shifts with equally ominous arrogance.
Threepio is standing behind the grotesque gangster as he strokes Leia like a pet cat. Several of the guards, including Lando, bring Luke from the other side of the room. Boba is standing behind Jabba.
With two swift strides, the dangerous Boba Fett ignites his rocket pack, leaps into the air, and flies from the barge down to the skiff.
Boba lands on the skiff and starts to aim his laser gun at Luke, who has freed Han and Chewie from their bonds. But before Boba can fire, the young Jedi spins on him, lightsaber sweeping, and hacks the bounty hunter's gun in half.
Immediately, the skiff takes another direct hit from the barge's deck gun. Shards of skiff deck fly. Chewie and Han are thrown against the rail.
HAN: Chewie, you okay? Where is he?
The Wookiee is wounded and he howls in pain.
HAN: I'm okay, pal.
For a moment, Luke is distracted, and in that moment, Boba fires a cable out of his armored sleeve. Instantly, Luke is wrapped in a strong cable, his arms pinned against his side, his sword arm free only from the wrist down. Luke bends his wrist so the lightsaber points straight up to reach the wire lasso and cuts through. Luke shrugs away the cable and stands free.
Another blast from the Barge's deck gun hits near Boba and he is knocked unconscious to the deck, next to where Lando is hanging.
LANDO: Han! Chewie?
HAN: Lando!
Luke is a little shaken but remains standing as a fusillade brackets him. The second skiff, loaded with guards firing their weapons, moves in on Luke fast. Luke leaps toward the incoming second skiff. The young Jedi leaps into the middle of the second skiff and begins decimating the guards from their midst.
Chewie, wounded, tries to lift himself as he barks directions to Han, guiding him toward a spear which has been dropped by one of the guards. Han searches the deck as Chewie barks directions; finally he grabs hold of the spear.
Boba Fett, badly shaken, rises from the deck. He looks over at the other skiff, where Luke is whipping a mass of guards. Boba raises his arm, and aims his lethal appendage.
Chewie barks desperately at Han.
HAN: Boba Fett?! Boba Fett?! Where?
The space pirate turns around blindly, and the long spear in his hand whacks squarely in the middle of Boba's rocket pack. The impact of the swing causes the rocket pack to ignite. Boba blasts off, flying over the second skiff like a missile, smashing against the side of the huge Sail Barge and sliding away into the pit. He screams as his armored body makes its last flight past Lando and directly into the mucous mouth of the Sarlacc. The Sarlacc burps. Chewie growls a weak congratulations to Han.

11:28AM Rataj redirects.
Rataj says that the $10 million on Patton Park fell squarely on Ferguson Enterprises. Beeckman says FEI was just a sub-contractor on the project.
Beeckman says he doesn't think it's true that Walbridge took $350,000 for doing nothing.
Ferguson just spilled his glass of water all over the defendants' table.
Back to the handwritten agreement. Rataj says you have no information that FEI did sewer or sote work. Beeckman says he knows they bid on it.
"You can't convict someone in this country based on speculation," argues Rataj again.
Rataj showing Walbridge's internal comparison review of sub-contractors. Says again there is no number for WPM.
Rataj asks if Ferguson's numbers are the lowest bids due to the numbers on the top line.
"I think you're wrong," says Beeckman because he know that WPM put in a bid on mass excavation.
"You cannot tell from that what is the lowest bidder because there is no number for WPM," says Beeckman.
Rataj brings up he text exchange between bobby and Kwame regarding the attempt to set up a meeting with Rakolta. Rataj says he showed there was a meeting scheduled with Rakolta and Kwame on February 10th 2007.
Rataj asks if he knew what was said in the meeting.
"I wasn't there so I have no idea what was said at the meeting," says Beeckman.
Beeckman is done but now we have another federal agent. EPA agent Carol Paszkiewicz.
11:36AM Like Beeckman, the EPA agent has been on the stand multiple times.
Discussing Inland Waters sewer contract 1368. Talking about sinkhole in sterling Heights 2004.
Previously admitted text messages. Chutkow says this is addressing her previous testimony.
September 1 2004 between Kwame and Ferguson.
Kwame: You got to get with victor on this terling heights job. He said you were meeting him out here.
This was sent at 1:15PM. the agent says per his agenda Kwame was scheduled to be at the sinkhole between 1 and 2pm.
Exchange on September 1st and 2nd 2004 between former mayor and Ferguson.
Ferguson: We need to meet on how I move in. I got a great idea sir. holla in the am. owe gemo my answer service (lol) wants me to do some hauling.
Ferguson first got to sinkhole site on September 14th 2004, about 2 weeks after text exchanges.
Tuesday September 14th 2004 document, this is based on an interview on the sinkhole repair. The agent says this is the record she based her testimony on. It mentions when Ferguson moved his equipment to the site at 6PM.
The sewer collapse was on August 22nd 2004. The defense introduced an exhibit when cross examining the witness that stated that Ferguson showed up onsite the next day. The document was a Ferguson Enterprises work site record. Paszkiewicz says this was inconsistent with what she had seen in her research.

The CTS Rocks! by denverkaren on 12/31/2008. Trim: 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6L Sedan, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The Sport handling package includes the Xenon HID headlights, and make seeing at night much easier. Braking is the best, great turning radius, easy to park. Fit and finish seem perfect to me. Great power when needed, and if you are paying attention to your driving, mileage is fantastic too. Navigation, XM Radio, memory seats - my dream car.
Cons: I agree with another reviewer who said the only negative is that they don't get to own TWO!
Overall review: From a late 50's woman driver: This car is so much fun to drive there should almost be "a law against it"! I can't wait to get in it and drive every day. Corners like it's on rails - the most fun car I've had since my new 1974 260Z. Cadillac Certified 6 yr./100,000 mi. warranty is great, and I have the best dealer and service dept. No complaints at all about reliability at 20,000 mi.

"Luxury" Clunker by Unhappy Camper in South Carolina on 05/23/2011. Trim: 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6L Sedan, Owned 1 year.
Pros: It's very pretty
Cons: Never had a Cadillac with more problems!
Overall review: We have owned Cadillacs since the late 70's; all of them have been wonderful!. My current car is nothing but trouble, constantly!! It appears that it was built on a Friday afternoon, possibly before a labor dispute and no one cares except me and my husband. We are at the point we're ready to switch to some other make of luxury car. The computer has been switched out, finally; but it will still go dead sitting in the driveway with no keys in it. Warning lights come on randomly for no apparent reason. This car spends more time in the dealership than it does on the road or in our garage.

Sporty Looking by An MSN Autos Consumer on 12/02/2009. Trim: 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6L Sedan, Owned 3 years.
Pros: Handles great, nice design, decent gas mileage.
Cons: Driver seat is uncomfortable and the left foot area on the floor board is uncomfortable to rest your foot. The truck is too small.
Overall review: I had a Buick Lesabre and the comfort level was far better then the CTS. Overall, a nice car but the comfort level needs improved.

People with diabetes have similar nutritional requirements to everyone else. However, eating well-balanced meals in the correct amounts helps to keep blood sugars in the goal range and helps to keep metabolism from becoming destructive. There isn't one "diabetes diet." Your doctor will probably suggest that you work with a registered dietitian to design a meal plan. A meal plan is a guide that tells you what kinds of food you can choose at meals and snack time and how much to have.
A healthy balanced meal plan is recommended for all patients with diabetes (both Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2
Diabetes). A balanced meal plan means that every meal has a recommended portion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Each component is defined as follows:
Watch the video below to understand how to create a diabetic meal plan even better!
For most people with diabetes (and those without, too), a healthy diet consists of 40% to 60% of calories from carbohydrates, 20% from protein and 30% or less from fat. Fiber and salt content are also important for your overall diet but are not specific to diabetes. Each component is summarized as follows:
Carbohydrates: 40-60% of total calories per day
Fat: Limit total fat to 25%-35% of total calories per day. Of this:
Protein: 10-20% of total calories per day
Fiber: 20-30 gm per day
Sodium Chloride:
< stands for "less than"

in Judaism, a regulation promulgated by rabbinic authority to promote the common good or to foster the spiritual development of those under its jurisdiction. Takkanoth, which are considered extensions of Torah Law (that is, the Law of Moses given in the first five books of the Bible), are of ancient origin and encompass such diverse subjects as liturgy, education of the young, and a bride's marriage contract (ketubah) to protect her financially in the case of divorce or her spouse's death. Among the most far-reaching ordinances of the European Middle Ages was a takkanah against polygamy issued in the 11th century by Rabbi Gershom ben Judah.

Potential New Fracking Rules Worry Green Groups
The Obama administration is expected to unveil new fracking regulations soon.
Lucy Childers, 6, plays on the rock formations April 8 at Ferne Clyffe State Park in Goreville, Ill., where Southern Illinoisans have hopes and fears surrounding high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking, that may begin in the Shawnee National Forest.
Rumor has it the Obama administration will soon release a slew of new regulations on hydraulic fracturing, a controversial oil and gas extraction technique that has helped usher in an unprecedented boom in domestic energy production in recent years.
[READ: Could You Be Driving a Natural Gas-Powered Car Soon?]
Though industry insiders don't know when the new rules will be released or what exactly the proposed regulations will contain, some critics expect them to be even more accommodating to oil and gas companies than the draft rules proposed by the Department of the Interior last year.
That's ruffled more than a few feathers in the environmental community, many of whom decry fracking as environmentally destructive and disruptive to surrounding communities.
"We do fear that the [current draft rules] will be further weakened," says Amy Mall, senior policy expert at the Natural Resource Defense Council. "The [oil and gas] industry has been trying to influence where the Bureau of Land Management goes with this rule and in the past has been fairly successful in getting some rules weakened."
Draft rules on fracking released by the Department of the Interior in May 2012 proposed requiring companies who operate on public lands to disclose the formulations of their frack fluids, which contain water, sand and small amounts of chemicals. They also included rules requiring operators to ensure frack fluids don't escape from wellheads during fracking, and better management of frack fluids that flow back to the surface.
[READ: Fight Over Fracking Continues as Counties Begin to Ban Practice]
But amid intense backlash from the oil and gas industry, which argued among other things that the mix of chemicals used in frack fluids is proprietary information and releasing them would put firms at a competitive disadvantage, the Obama administration is revisiting the draft rules. This move has invited a flurry of lobbying efforts seeking looser regulation on drilling and exploration activities.
Proponents of fracking say the controversial extraction technique has transformed the United States from an energy-poor country into a leading oil and gas producer. It has fueled the creation of thousands of jobs, revitalized crumbling coal towns and injected millions of dollars into the economy. It's also revived the concept of "Made in America" as cheap natural gas has fueled a manufacturing renaissance.
But some environmentalists fear the lure of more jobs and tax revenues from the booming oil and gas industry could ultimately outweigh concerns that hydraulic fracturing could contaminate groundwater and have other unintended environmental impacts. While some states have fracking regulations, they vary vastly if they exist at all, according to experts, prompting lawsuits and bans of the practice around the country. Earlier this month, a county in New Mexico banned all oil and gas extraction, arguing state laws didn't do enough to protect communities. Across the country in Dryden, N.Y., residents won a two-year legal battle in early May, which allows the town to ban the practice within city limits.

The growing discord is leading some critics to call for a national standard when it comes to regulating the technique.
"State [regulations] really vary quite widely, which is why we need a national model and standard in place," Mall says, adding that as many as 30 states have public lands that could potentially be leased to oil and gas producers. "It would give some minimum standards and a base. These are public resources that belong to the American people."

Chris DunseathArtist, Lecturer / academic
My sculpture is concerned with a diverse range of concepts and is made out of a variety of materials including wood, stone, bronze and paper. The content has ranged from an interest in transformation and change to its current involvement with aspects of theoretical physics. The scale ranges from smaller pieces to large scale public sculptures. Some of the ideas require a subtractive sculptural process involving direct stone and wood carving while others involve additive constructional processess using laminated ash veneer and paper pulp. The spirit of scientific enquiry in the work resulted in its inclusion in 'Beyond Ourselves' one of the first Arts Council funded contemporary art exhibitions held at the centre of scientific debate, The Royal Society. I agree with the physicist Richard Feynman when he refers to the inadequacy of science to capture the marvel of our universe and for the need for art to help bridge the gap between the tangible and the intangible. Influences: Ancient Egyptian art, extensive research carried out in Egypt; construction of functional objects eg furniture, scientific models; relativity and quantum physics; string theory; astronomy. Career path: Undergraduate at Cheltenham, Postgraduate at the Slade. Cardiff Sculpture Fellow. Churchill Travelling Fellow. Academician of the RWA. Fellow of the RBS. Awards and bursaries: The Arts Council England, South West Arts, Welsh Arts Council and various University Research Awards. 2014 Winner of The Wilson Award, The Open West. 2013 Wells Art Contemporary, Prize Winner. 2007 Winner of the RWA Sculpture Exhibition. 2007 Prize winner, Millfield. Visiting Lecturer at several institutions including the Royal Academy Schools. Collections: The Arts Council England; The Royal Collection; Acerman Foundation, New York; McDermott Collection, Dallas, Texas; Dame Stephanie Shirley; Priors Court School; The Met Office, Exeter; University of Leicester; Sandwell Council; Robert Redford collection, Sundance, Utah, USA; SPP Foundation, Washington State, USA; The Royal West of England Academy. read full statement

Q: Can you help explain fiber to me? I know that it is good for me, so how can I get enough?
A: There is a lot of talk about fiber — that we should eat more of it and that is has many health benefits, but what exactly is all this hype about? Unfortunately, the average person eats half of the daily recommended amount of fiber. A good rule of thumb is to eat 14 grams per 1,000 kilocalories consumed. Therefore, a woman should eat about 28 grams and a male should eat about 38 grams. If you don't eat much fiber in your diet, it is important to start incorporating it gradually because it may cause you intestinal discomfort but don't worry — your body will adjust.
Fiber is only found in plant foods and can't be digested by our bodies (this is a good thing!). There are two types: soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which our body needs for maximum health benefits.
Soluble fiber: This type of fiber says it in the name — it's soluble, meaning it dissolves in water. It has been shown that soluble fiber helps decrease blood cholesterol, slows stomach emptying (to keep us fuller longer) and controls blood sugar levels in diabetics. Great food sources of this fiber include whole grains (like oatmeal), fruits and seeds.
Insoluble fiber: This type of fiber does not dissolve in water and is found in the wall of the plant. It is known to help with weight management and constipation. Insoluble fiber is what adds bulk to our stools. Food sources of this fiber include brown rice, legumes and wheat bran.
Fiber can improve bowel health. It can decrease the chance of constipation by increasing the size and weight of your stool, making it easier to pass. On the other hand, if you have diarrhea, fiber will add bulk to the stool to solidify it. Weight management is yet another advantage; high fiber foods generally take longer to chew so you are more likely to think about what you are eating and know when you are full. Because high fiber foods are not broken down by our body, they help to keep us satisfied for a longer period of time.

Welcome to your nutrition, movement, and lifestyle REVOLUTION!
It's easy to put the power in someone else's hands when it comes to your health. We are constantly inundated with one fad diet after another and it seems like every day a new study comes out telling us about one more food that should be villified.
Your body wants to be in balance. That's it's natural state! Sometimes it's just hard to really listen inward amidst the distractions of life.
Our bodies know how to be healthy: what foods to eat, the type of movement that feels uplifting, when to rest; the tricky part is learning to listen. Listening inward is challenging, right? Especially with all the responsibilities of LIFE: Career. Relationships. Family. Education. Finances.
What would it be like to reconnect with your own inner wisdom through sustainable lifestyle shifts-addressing everything from the food you eat, to the amount of stress in your life, to the quality of the sleep you get on a regular basis, to your emotional and spiritual well being?
This integrative approach to wellness will inspire, educate and motivate you in the following ways:
- You will get out of the diet mindset: no more crash diets or extreme cleanses. You will be empowered about food and heal your digestion in the process.
- You will be in action in areas of your life where you were previously stuck.
- You will create a greater sense of ease in your day to day life where you were previously stressed, anxious, or resigned.
This is your health revolution. Take your well-being into your own hands, and move from survive to THRIVE.

I write about radical management, leadership, innovation & narrative
In my article on the Ten Most Hated Jobs, there were some surprises. There are also some surprises in the ten happiest jobs, as reported a General Social Survey by the National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago. (I am indebted to Lew Perelman for drawing my attention to the Christian Science Monitor article.)
1. Clergy: The least worldly are reported to be the happiest of all
2. Firefighters: Eighty percent of firefighters are "very satisfied" with their jobs, which involve helping people.
3. Physical therapists: Social interaction and helping people apparently make this job one of the happiest.
4. Authors: For most authors, the pay is ridiculously low or non-existent, but the autonomy of writing down the contents of your own mind apparently leads to happiness.
5. Special education teachers: If you don't care about money, a job as special education teacher might be a happy profession. The annual salary averages just under $50,000.
6. Teachers: Teachers in general report being happy with their jobs, despite the current issues with education funding and classroom conditions. The profession continues to attract young idealists, although fifty percent of new teachers are gone within five years.
7. Artists: Sculptors and painters report high job satisfaction, despite the great difficulty in making a living from it.
8. Psychologists: Psychologists may or may not be able to solve other people's problems, but it seems that they have managed to solve their own.
9. Financial services sales agents: Sixty-five percent of financial services sales agents are reported to be happy with their jobs. That could be because some of them are clearing more than $90,000 dollars a year on average for a 40-hour work week in a comfortable office environment.
10. Operating engineers: Playing with giant toys like bulldozers, front-end loaders, backhoes, scrapers, motor graders, shovels, derricks, large pumps, and air compressors can be fun. With more jobs for operating engineers than qualified applicants, operating engineers report being happy.
It's interesting to compare these jobs with the list of the ten most hated jobs, which were generally much better paying and have higher social status. What's striking about the list is that these relatively high level people are imprisoned in hierarchical bureaucracies. They see little point in what they are doing. The organizations they work for don't know where they are going, and as a result, neither do these people.
1. Director of Information Technology
2. Director of Sales and Marketing
3. Product Manager
4. Senior Web Developer
5. Technical Specialist
6. Electronics Technician
7. Law Clerk
8. Technical Support Analyst
9. CNC Machinist
10. Marketing Manager
Why were these jobs with better pay and higher social status less likely to produce happiness? Todd May writing in the New York Times argues that "A meaningful life must, in some sense then, feel worthwhile. The person living the life must be engaged by it. A life of commitment to causes that are generally defined as worthy — like feeding and clothing the poor or ministering to the ill — but that do not move the person participating in them will lack meaningfulness in this sense. However, for a life to be meaningful, it must also be worthwhile. Engagement in a life of tiddlywinks does not rise to the level of a meaningful life, no matter how gripped one might be by the game."
This is what underlies the difference between the happiest jobs and the most hated jobs. One set of jobs feels worthwhile, while in the other jobs, people can't see the point. The problems in the most hated jobs can't be solved by job redesign or clearer career paths. Instead the organizations must undertake fundamental change to manage themselves in a radically different way with a focus on delighting the customer through continuous innovation and all the consequent changes that are needed to accomplish that. The result of doing this in firms like Amazon, Apple and Salesforce.com is happy customers, soaring profits and workers who can see meaning in their work.

I wonder why i can't see other people's comment?
Funny… my husband is a firefighter and practically skips to work, and I'm Marketing Associate, on the path to be a Marketing Manager. While I don't dread going to work by any means, I don't have nearly as much job satisfaction as he and his crew do.
my theory is that firemen for example have a strong social bond, and the environment they work in is conducive to cooperative effort/teamwork/male bonding…corporate environments do not allow for that, leaving us a bit on our own and alienated and therefore bound to be less happy
I came across this article after speaking with a retired fireman, asking him why these guys are so happy. "Unlike the police," he said, "when we come, people are happy to see us."
I asked him how is that different than paramedics, to which he replied:
"Paramedics don't make friends with anyone. You're just a breathing piece of meat to them."
As a pastor I totally agree and was glad to see clergy ranked #1.
But the article also confirms what we often tell the people of our church – happiness is giving your life away.
Hmmm….. Just a random thought…. Maybe these jobs attract naturally 'happy' people'? I mean it may not necessarily be the job itself that makes for happiness …. Being a firefighter must be a very difficult job to live with at times. Therefore, I would assume it would take a particular sort of person to do it. I could be wrong but just thought I'd throw that idea into the mix.

Clark signed his $1.32 million restricted free agent tender on Wednesday.||||||| Although Clark has made just a half-dozen starts for the Broncos over the last three seasons, he figures to get plenty of first-team snaps as Peyton Manning's blindside protector when offseason workouts begin. That's because Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady is recovering from right shoulder surgery and is planning to skip the team's offseason program rather than sign his $9.8 million franchise tag.
The injury-riddled Denver Broncos were awarded running back Andre Brown of the New York Giants and offensive lineman Chris Clark of the Minnesota Vikings off waivers on Sunday.||||||| Clark spent the last two years on the Vikings' practice squad after going undrafted out of Southern Miss, where he started the final 39 games of his college career. The Broncos are banged up along the offensive line, where right tackle Ryan Harris (ankle) was injured in the preseason finale and All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady is still feeling his way back from a torn left patellar tendon, which popped while he was playing a pickup basketball game in April.
