I amplify the emerging voices of girls and women.
Ashley Judd is getting a lot of attention for the right reason. It's her essay in The Daily Beast that slams the media for the speculation, assault and accusations about her "puffy face." Her essay is filled with bold integrity.
It all started a few weeks ago when Ashley Judd, 43, was on tour promoting her new TV show, Missing. Her face looked "puffy." The media went right for the needles and knives, speculating that she had work done. Sad, but not a surprise – she is a woman with a puffy face, what other explanation? Judd's rep set the record straight: Judd's face was puffy because she was battling a serious sinus infection and the medication was making her face puffy.
But the media bodysnarking didn't end there. And neither did Judd. She did what all women should do–she spoke out–not just for herself, but for all girls and women:
The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality as we walk through the decades, and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about.
I reached out to Julie Zeilinger, undergraduate student at Barnard College, Columbia University, and Founder and Editor of the FBomb.org, a feminist blog/community for teens and young adults who care about their rights and want to be heard. She's also the author of the new book: A Little F'd Up: Why Feminism Is Not A Dirty Word. I asked her for her take. In a brief break between classes Julie wrote:
"Yesterday afternoon, I, like millions of other college students across the country, logged on to Facebook as a pathetic attempt at procrastination. I expected to flip through some of my friends' newly posted pictures, maybe like somebody's status– the usual – but instead was faced with something extraordinary. My newsfeed was inundated with links to an article written by Ashley Judd—the kind of article that, as a young feminist, I have been waiting to read for a very long time.
In response to a swell of criticism regarding her "puffy" appearance, or what feminist blog Jezebel has cleverly titled "Judd-puff-maggedon 2012," Judd recently penned an article for The Daily Beast, calling out the media for what she saw as "pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic" commentary about her appearance, stating "The assault on our body image, the hypersexualization of girls and women and subsequent degradation of our sexuality…and the general incessant objectification is what this conversation allegedly about my face is really about." And while this well-composed, insightful article has clearly resonated with all who are sick of seeing women skewered in the media for their appearance, who are frustrated with our society's unattainable standards of beauty, I think it is especially meaningful for young women my age.
I am willing to bet that my generation feels more pressure to have the "perfect body" than any generation before us. We are not only inundated with images of anorexic, photoshopped models, but moreover these messages have been ingrained within us: the way we view our bodies is intrinsically tied to our feelings of self worth. We feel that to be fat is to have failed, and in a society that pushes women to compete against each other, this is unacceptable. And yet, most of us don't see this as a feminist issue. While we are incredibly unhappy with constantly feeling like we just don't measure up, we have largely accepted it as the status quo. Which is why Ashley Judd's article is so important.
It is vital that a celebrity wrote this article. As the center of society's objectification of women, famous women are the emblem and most extreme and overt cases of how our culture systematically dismembers women, encouraging the world to value them only as much as their worst flaw. Young girls read tabloid magazines and gossip blogs that treat those famous women so horrendously, and because those very women seem to accept that treatment, seem to absorb it and continue to live up to unachievable standards (though their personal experience is, as demonstrated by Judd, quite the opposite) young girls internalize the idea that they must, too. For a woman at the very heart of this issue to finally speak out, to finally demand that what the media is doing to her – and therefore, all women – is beyond being not okay, but sexist discrimination and ultimately intolerable, is hugely important for young women to witness. We have a role model – a woman who is beautiful by normative standards, yet rejects such treatment and denigrating appraisal based on her looks.
And if simply taking a stand against such treatment as a prominent figure weren't enough, Judd goes a step forward, explaining why such treatment is unacceptable, even daring to use words like "misogyny" and "feminism." She gives young women readers the vocabulary to express what, internally, they've felt all along: this issue is not just about personal insecurities and struggles. It is much bigger than any one of us alone. We are not alone. She gives my generation tools with which we can evaluate this issue and to fight back.
This may have been a conversation feminists have been having for some time now, but because Ashley Judd spoke, the world is finally listening. Specifically, young girls who thought they were alone in their beliefs that the way women are eviscerated by the media, and in turn the impact of that treatment on us, is wrong are waking up. It may be going a little far to say that Ashley Judd's response to her "puffy face" has sparked a revolution, but I think it's safe to say she has given us an incredible gift. I only hope that more celebrities follow in her footsteps. I only hope that more young women follow in theirs."
Coming soon: My interview with Julie Zeilinger about feminism, the "F Bomb" and "A Little F'd Up: Why Feminism Is Not A Dirty Word"
I'm guessing that Judd's work as a spokesmodel for Estée Lauder, (a company that makes products that allow women to change the way they look) has escaped you. Apparently it's just fine for Ashley Judd to profit from media that reinforces the negative self-image of women, but she has a problem with others doing the same.
There is a difference between choosing the way you want to look and having to meet someone's expectation of how you must look – in order to be accepted or acceptable or live without criticism by members of the media or men and even friends and other women.
Are you saying that Estée Lauder products that allow women to change the way they look is wrong because women shouldn't be able to choose how they look? That is the whole point of the article.
Women have no problem being beautiful or changing or being themselves and not changing. Women are not the problem – it's the sexualization of women that causes a problem – when women are considered objects, and worthless until they meet a standard of beauty – set by others – in order to be allowed to have happiness of friendship, a job, a date, a husband, public office. That's the problem.
It is just fine for Ashley Judd to speak about beauty to women – to sell beauty products that she uses why should she not – Ashley Judd is beautiful. I'm ok with that. We don't have to be anything other than who we are to be self determining people. Go read Ashley Judd's article – it's a good read!
Maybe she could wear the puffy shirt that Seinfeld gave to a homeless guy.
That's my thoughts on the entire situation – and YES — It should spark a revolution.
Women – have been held to a standard that is NOT NATURAL… and men – if you like that standard – you should read my post…. Maybe…. just maybe… You didn't know you liked boys… *grin*
I say 10000000000% kudos to Ms. Judd – she should spark a revolution!
Women should – not think they are BETTER —- But they SHOULD — THINK THEY ARE EQUAL!
No one is better – based on Gender alone.
If George Clooney were battling a sinus infection with a puffy face, the result would be a marginal aside set in commas. Gloria Steinem, set to discuss this topic Sunday on the OWN channel, will do well to anoint Ashley her successor. David, nothing cosmetic can reverse swelling from medication. Ashley is known for worthy endeavors. Making the most of how you look is helpful for women whose bone structure isn't as good as hers, and I'm guessing your standards for attractive women fall along the lines of equanimity with however you look. Redford featured her on Sundance with Madeleine Albright in his Icons program when they toured the construction of the World Trade Center rebuilding.
Plenty of men have been called out for plastic surgery but most men don't know about.
You know why? Because only women care about that kind of vicious and salacious gossip.
Women buy the magazines, clothes, and beauty products that shills like Ashley Judd promote for their own profit.
Judd is not a martyr she is a perpetrator trying to place the blame for her actions onto others.
How typical. How feminist.
If anything should spark a revolution, it's the media's treatment of Gov. Nikki Haley. Where's the sisterhood when a woman's reputation is maliciously smeared, with no factual basis whatsoever?
Puffy eyes or a criminal indictment? Sorry, Ms. Judd (and Estee Lauder), but I'm just not feeling the same level of outrage . . .
How has Ms. Haley been 'maliciously smeared' exactly? If anything she has smeared and entire gender. 'There is no war on women'? What world does she live in? 'Women don't care about contraception'? REALLY?
PS to Forbes — your "preview" button is a "publish" button.
One of two things needs to happen: 1. Women need to comprise more than the current 3% of senior executives of media organizations or, 2. Men and Women who find the demeaning images, reports and adjectives contained in the "news" and advertising objectionable, vote with their money. Until these happen, nothing will change. Hilary Clinton, Condoleza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Palin, etc. endure the insulting focus on how they look rather than what they say.
"Hilary Clinton, Condoleza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Sarah Palin, etc. endure the insulting focus on how they look rather than what they say."
I tend to focus on what they say.
Hillary- man hating shrew, based on what she says.
Nancy Pelosi – manipulative political shill, loose cannon -based on what she says.
Sarah Palin – golly gee folks, she sure is purty but I can't really tell if she's got a clue, based on what she says (or not).
Patriarchy?! Who edits and reads women's magazines like Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Vogue? Who pushes the standard of beauty? Who talks about it, who reads about it on the gossip sites?
"That women are joining in the ongoing disassembling of my appearance is salient. Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. It privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it."
Please, please, PLEASE, reach further down, look deeply at the insidious spread of patriarchal thinking. Free your mind.
The also realize that these magazines you speak of are owned by men.
Just because she (and you) believe that most women are some sort of willing slaves to the mythical Patriarchy doesn't mean it's real. It doesn't support your argument, it weakens it.
She very likely had plastic surgery to further support a long and prosperous career, got noticed, and decided to vomit this Patriarchy BS out to change the subject.
It is nothing more. Nothing. Mountain out of a molehill.
Oh yeah… I think I understand: much like the misandry and demonization, criminalization of men and nowadays: little boys too.
They call it Feminism.
See some of the 'criminals' defined under feminist influenced laws here:
and here:
If you think the Patriarchy is 'mythical' you are not only a fool, but a blind fool. Instead of free your mind, I should have advised opening your eyes.
The very same patriarchy keeps your fellow men where they are in society as well.
"Patriarchy is not men"?
There's a convenient "excuse my hatred" if I ever saw one.
If the attitude you're condemning is "not men", then do your sisterhood and all of the rest of us a favor and apply a moniker that doesn't implicate fatherhood.
Though the State is aggressively posturing as a surrogate father figure for feminist women, "fatherhood" is still an exclusively male occupation.
No word bending denial will change that.
A revolution? I doubt it.
David Zemba – clearly you're missing the whole idea. It's like saying a model shouldn't profit the job of a model (and also be physically fit) if they also believe people should not be objectified, as they are now, and have been for a long time. You're pathetic – and I hope not a father.
I'm sorry you are unable to see the sheer hypocrisy in Ms. Judd's position. Allow me to try and explain it to you.
The cosmetic industry is built on selling the idea that if women buy cosmetics, they will improve their appearances and be considered more attractive. The implicit message is that a woman's natural appearance can be improved by applying cosmetics, or to say it another way, women in their natural state are not beautiful.
As the "face" of Estée Lauder, Judd is reinforcing this subtle communication every time she appears in an advertisement. The fact that she is attempting to cry foul on a message she HERSELF is sending out into the world is either supremely arrogant. incredibly myopic, or both.
If he is a father, he probably cannot exercise the right to be one on account of being married to, then divorced from a selfish, man-hating feminist such as yourself and all the other feminists here, discussing this irrelevant drivel as well as your misandry.
Victims… None of you would even know the meaning of the word.
Then you call this man 'pathetic'.
You women have it so easy in life, if this issue is so important to you all that you have to have a big 'conference' about it.
If my mother ever cast an insult like the one you just offered to David Zemba, for merely trying to express himself, she wouldn't be my mother anymore.
She must be so proud.
Christopher Jenkins,
You do realize that people insult each other all the time in everyday life right? You must also realize that a female can insult a male without being 'selfish', or 'man-hating', or a 'feminist'? Much like men can insult women without being angry, mommy-issued, misogynist?
Perhaps you can not see these things if you are so ridiculous as to say 'women have it so easy in life'. Showing not just your complete lack of awareness, but also your issues quite starkly.
I agree that Geniene was unfairly rude to David Zemba. Your reply however, went way overboard.
Fresh from using bogus statistics to accuse all men of "sex trafficking", she's gone on the warpath over "objectification" of women by men, when it is women who run the fashion industry and media that assaults women's body image, hypersexualizes girls and women, and subsequent degrades their sexuality.
The tail-chasing hypocrisy of white feminists has really gotten tiresome. It's not even funny anymore.
Ashley writes : "We are described and detailed, our faces and bodies analyzed and picked apart, our worth ascertained and ascribed based on the reduction of personhood to simple physical objectification."
Yeah, BY OTHER WOMEN! Get over yourselves you self-absorbed whiners.

Head Coach Homer Drew: One of only a handful of coaches at the Division I level coaching on a floor named in his honor, head coach Homer Drew is the seventh-winningest active coach in D-I men's basketball. Drew enters Sunday's game with a 364-299 record in 21 seasons at the helm of the Crusader program and a 633-421 record in 32 years overall as a head coach.
Series Notes: Cleveland State owns a 27-9 advantage in the all-time series over Valpo, including a 14-3 advantage in Cleveland. The Crusaders have come out with wins in two of the last three matchups, however, including a 64-58 win at the ARC earlier this year on Jan. 9. Valpo overcame an 11-point first-half deficit and led by as many as 15 en route to the win. Cory Johnson paced the Crusader effort with 20 points, while Howard Little grabbed 11 rebounds.
The Road Ahead: The Crusaders' swing through northeastern Ohio continues Saturday evening as Valpo heads to the Beeghly Center to take on Youngstown State. Valpo then returns home, where it will play five of its last seven games, to host Detroit on Feb. 10 and Wright State on Feb. 12.

BracketBuster Matchup: The Crusaders learned Monday that they had earned another national TV appearance as part of the BracketBusters event, as Valpo will host Missouri State live on ESPN2 at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 19. This marks the second time the Crusaders have made a national TV appearance for the BracketBusters game, joining the 2007-2008 squad which hosted Miami (Ohio) on ESPN Classic.
National Poll Watch: For the first time in almost nine years, the Crusaders are receiving votes in one of the two major national polls. Valpo picked up two points in this week's edition of the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll to be listed among the others receiving votes. Valpo last made an appearance in one of the national polls in March of 2002, accumulating five points in the last poll prior to the NCAA Tournament that season.
Mid-Major Poll Watch: Meanwhile, on the mid-major scene, the Crusaders continue to rise in the Mid-Major Top 25. After checking in at #22 last week, Valpo ascended to a season-best #18 in this week's poll following the win over Butler.
All-Access With Valpo: The Crusaders are currently featured on the CollegeInsider.com All-Access series. The All-Access piece contains conversations with head coach Homer Drew, associate head coach Bryce Drew and a number of players, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at a Crusader practice.
Beating Butler: Saturday's win over the Bulldogs came in the 100th meeting on the hardwood between the two institutions, and was Valpo's first over Butler since December of 1993. The victory also broke a seven-game losing streak against the Bulldogs since the Crusaders joined the Horizon League prior to the 2007-2008 season.
Fight For First Place: The Crusaders enter this week's road trip tied in the loss column with Cleveland State and one-half game back of the top spot in the Horizon League standings. Valpo and CSU are both two games up in the loss column over third-place Wright State, and the Crusaders have continued their best start to league play since joining the Horizon League.
Winning With Defense: Valpo has improved its defensive efficiency from 109.4 points per 100 possessions (304th nationally) a year ago to 94.7/100 possessions (64th nationally) this year, a big key to their 15 wins so far this year. Seven times this year, the Crusaders have held a D-I opponent to 60 points or fewer, including four of their last seven league games, and are 14-1 on the season when holding their opposition under 70 points.
How Improved It Is: Last year, the Crusaders surrendered a league-worst 74.3 points per game and gave up 71.8 ppg in league play only, which ranked ninth among the ten Horizon League squads. So far this year, it has been a 180 in terms of the defensive output, as Valpo is giving up just 65.0 ppg overall, which is good for third in the league. The defense has been even better in league play so far, as the Crusaders have allowed just 62.4 ppg against league foes, also third-best.
A Look at RPI: The Crusaders enter this week as one of three Horizon League teams in the top-60 in the nation in RPI in the latest NCAA report. Valpo sits at #55 heading into this week's action, joining Cleveland State (#29) and Butler (#42) among the nation's best.
Who Needs Rally Caps?: Valpo erased double-figure deficits earlier this month in back-to-back wins over Cleveland State and Wright State, a common occurence this year for the Crusaders. In fact, the Crusaders are now above .500 this year in games where they have trailed by 10 or more points at any juncture, going 5-4 in such contests, while on the flip side, they are 14-2 in games where they have led by 10 or more points.
Sharp Shooters From Inside: Valpo has cemented itself as one of the best shooting teams in the nation this year, entering this week ranked 21st nationally with a .480 field goal percentage. The Crusaders have been especially proficient inside the arc, hitting at a .558 clip from two-point range, and have hit at least half of their two-point attempts in 11 of their last 13 games, only failing to do so at Butler (12-of-27) and against Green Bay (14-of-34). Among Valpo's nine-man rotation, seven players are hitting at least 50% from inside the arc this season.
4 Wins x 3: Valpo's win over Detroit Jan. 16 gave the Crusaders their third four-game winning streak of the 2010-2011 campaign, something that has not happened for Valpo since the 2001-2002 season. That year's Crusader squad won seven straight between November and December, captured nine straight wins in the heart of Mid-Con play and then won five consecutive games entering the NCAA Tournament.
10 Wins Before the New Year: The Crusaders' win over Ball State Dec. 28 assured Valpo of heading into the 2011 calendar year with a 10-4 record, matching a program record for most wins prior to January 1. The 2001-2002 team also posted a 10-4 mark prior to New Year's Day 2002, while the 2007-2008 Crusaders went 10-3 in the 2007 portion of the schedule.
103-102: The antithesis of most of the Crusaders' games this season was the 103-102 win in regulation at Oakland Dec. 21 to capture the Lou Henson Award Tournament. Some notes regarding that high-scoring victory can be found on page six of this release.
Dominating Defensively, Part 2: Valpo's performance on the defensive end against Milwaukee last Friday was one of its best of the year. The Crusaders didn't surrender a field goal to the Panthers until 13:46 into the game and ended up limiting UWM to 28.3% (13-of-46) shooting, including 9.5% (2-of-21) from outside the 3-point line. Valpo also forced 16 turnovers while giving up just 43 points, its best performance since holding Detroit to 41 on Jan. 8, 2009.
Dominating Defensively: Dec. 11's win over IPFW was right up there with the Milwaukee game for the best defensive effort by Valpo this year. The Crusaders held the Mastodons to just 13 field goals on 26% shooting and limited IPFW to just 47 points overall. In addition, Valpo held IPFW to just three 3-pointers on the evening and limited the Mastodons to just three assists, the fewest by a Valpo opponent since Dec. 30, 1999.
A Big Victory: Valpo easily handled Purdue North Central Nov. 18, limiting the Panthers to just 44 points in a 98-44 victory. The 54-point margin of victory ties for the sixth-highest differential in program history, matching the winning margin in a 66-12 win against Chicago Tech back in the 1920-1921 season.
Offensive Explosion: The Crusaders lit up the scoreboard throughout their season opener against IU Northwest, scoring 59 first-half points and adding 52 second-half points. A short-range flip up and in by Cory Johnson with 5:49 to play put Valpo over the century mark as it utilized the third digit on the scoreboard for the first time since a 105-73 win over Longwood on Jan. 7, 2006. The 111 points matched the most the Crusaders have scored in the last 15 seasons as well.
Crusaders Match Attendance Record: Valparaiso has sold out a pair of games this year - its Dec. 7 game against Purdue and Jan. 29 against Butler - and matched the ARC all-time attendance record in both contests. The attendance of 5,432 for both games tied the mark set on Feb. 5, 2008 when the Crusaders welcomed a sellout crowd for a top-10 Butler squad.
Breaking Out the New Gear: The Crusaders unveiled their new uniform design Dec. 7 against Purdue, and also debuted gray uniforms in the nationally-televised contest. The grays will serve as alternate uniforms, mainly for use on special occasions, while Valpo will continue to wear white jerseys at home and gold uniforms on the road.
Valpo Tabbed Fourth in Preseason Poll: Valparaiso was picked to finish in fourth place in the Horizon League preseason poll, tallying 312 points in the polling. Butler, the reigning national runner-up and last season's regular season and tournament champions, was a unanimous selection atop the league standings. Detroit edged out Cleveland State as the second pick, while Milwaukee and Wright State were picked fifth and sixth, respectively. Green Bay, Loyola, UIC and Youngstown State rounded out the polling.
Wood Named Preseason First Team All-League: Brandon Wood was one of five players named to the preseason Horizon League First Team All-League squad as announced in mid-October. Wood, the league's Newcomer of the Year and a Second Team All-League honoree in 2009-2010, led the circuit in scoring at 17.7 ppg a year ago, while his 565 total points tied for ninth-most in a single season in Valpo history. Also an NABC All-District 12 Second Team choice, he ranked among the league's best as well in 3-pointers per game (1.8, 6th) and free throw percentage (.813, 7th).
Johnson a Second Team Honoree: Cory Johnson also earned a spot on the preseason All-League Second Team after receiving Second Team and All-Newcomer Team honors last year in his first year with the Crusaders. Johnson averaged 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg a year ago, good for fourth and eighth among Horizon League players, respectively. He connected at a 55.6% clip from the floor, second-best in the league and 20th nationally, and hit better than half of his three-point attempts as well.
Oh Captain My Captain: The Crusaders will have a pair of captains for the 2010-2011 season. Cory Johnson and Howard Little will serve in the role, each for the second straight year.
Sun, Fun and Basketball: This year's Crusader squad got the chance to bond as a team with a preseason foreign trip to Cancun in August, the first time Valpo has taken advantage of the chance to take a preseason trip. The Crusaders got 10 days of practice in Valpo before taking off for Cancun with all 13 players, including newcomers Jay Harris and Kevin Van Wijk. While down in Cancun, Valpo won all four games, including a come-from-behind 102-84 win over Pioneros de Quintana Roo, which finished third in the 20-team LNBP last year.
Players of the Week: Valparaiso has claimed three Player of the Week honors from the Horizon League already this season. Brandon Wood earned the Crusaders' first honor of the year, sharing Player of the Week accolades after he averaged 28.0 ppg en route to All-Tournament honors at the Lou Henson Award Tournament. Cory Johnson was tabbed as the league's Player of the Week Jan. 10 after averaging 23.0 ppg in two league victories for the Crusaders, while Wood was again honored the next week after tallying 21.5 ppg in a pair of league road wins.
Wood Leads the Way: Redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood, who missed the Milwaukee and Green Bay games due to injury, returned to the lineup against Butler and played a big role in the Crusaders' win, scoring 11 of his 15 points in the second half against the Bulldogs. Wood has been a consistent double-figure scorer for the Crusaders this year one season after leading the league in scoring, scoring in double digits 15 times, including 12 of his last 14 contests. Wood has contributed all over the place for Valpo this season, currently leading the team in scoring (16.0 ppg), assists (3.5 apg) and steals (1.8 spg) and ranking second in rebounding (4.6 rpg). Wood finds himself among the league leaders in a number of categories as well, ranking third in steals, fifth in scoring, seventh in assists and ninth in assist/turnover ratio (1.59).
Johnson Keeps Producing: Fifth-year senior forward Cory Johnson has been a solid presence inside for the Crusaders this year, ranking second on the team and sixth in the league in scoring (15.8 ppg) while scoring in double figures a team-high 18 times this year. Johnson, the MVP of the Lou Henson Award Tournament and Horizon League Player of the Week earlier this year, has paced Valpo in the scoring column eight times this year, including most recently tying for team-high honors with 16 points in the win over Butler. The senior also ranks among the league's best in field goal percentage (.504, t-7th).
Broekhoff Bombs Away: After playing just three minutes against Milwaukee due to injury, sophomore Ryan Broekhoff stepped up Jan. 23 against Green Bay, connecting on 5-of-6 3-point attempts, including a pair in the final 10 seconds to give Valpo a shot at the win. Then last time out against Butler, the sophomore tied for team-high honors with 16 points, 14 of which came in the final 25 minutes of play, including a 4-of-5 performance from behind the arc in the second half and overtime. Broekhoff, who averages 10.1 ppg, now leads the league in 3-point shooting at a .488 clip and is connecting at a .595 clip from behind the arc in league play.
Kenney Steps Up: Sophomore Matt Kenney has put together a run of stellar performances since returning from injury. Looking at the last four games (Detroit, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Butler), Kenney is averaging 14.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.3 steals per game. Last time out against Butler, the sophomore tied for the team high with 16 points, 12 of which came after halftime. In fact, Kenney entered the second half just 3-of-35 from behind the arc on the season, but canned a pair of big 3-pointers to help the Crusader cause.
Little With Big Shots: Senior Howard Little had scored just four points in the first 43 minutes of the Butler game last Saturday. But the senior came up with a pair of huge baskets as the shot clock was running down, first knocking down an 18-foot fadeaway with a hand in his face with 1:32 to play in overtime to give the Crusaders a four-point lead. Then, Little found himself 28 feet from the basket with the shot clock nearing zero on the next trip, but his heave rattled in for a 3-pointer that extended the lead to seven points with 37 seconds left.
Cracking the Career Charts: A number of Crusaders have already cracked Valpo's career charts in different categories or are on pace to do so very soon. Little ranks tenth in Valpo history with 132 career steals, while he also continues to be on pace to set the program record for career games played, barring injury. Broekhoff's career 3-point percentage of .420 is seventh-best in Valpo history. Wood and Johnson both have accumulated 50+ games played for their careers, allowing them to be ranked ninth (17.0 ppg) and 11th (15.7 ppg) on the scoring average chart. Johnson also moved onto the career field-goal percentage chart last month, surpassing 500 career attempts, and currently ranks fifth, shooting at a .534 clip for his career.
Quickly: Freshman Jay Harris knocked down all six of his free-throw attempts in the final 30 seconds of overtime Saturday, the third time this year he has connected on six free throws in a game ... Valpo hit just 1-of-8 from 3-point range in the first 20 minutes of the Butler game, but went 9-of-14 from downtown in the second half and overtime ... the Crusaders' ten total 3-pointers matched a season high, achieved four times now ... Valpo is now 2-1 on the season in overtime games (won at UIC and against Butler, lost at Toledo).

Thread: Chevy 350 Rebuild
Chevy 350 RebuildHey everyone. A bud got me a Chevy 350 Small Block for free out of a wrecked truck ('89 or '90). I plan on a performance rebuild. I have 2 questions...
1. Can anyone suggest a good Rebuild kit for this engine that will convert it into FI?
2. How easy (hard?) would this engine fit and connect into my 2003 Silverado? (4.8L V8 Currently)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Current Daily Driver:
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - 4WD - 4.8L V8 - True Dual Exhaust Setup, Cat Delete, Cherry Bomb Glass Packs
I once replaced the 5.0L V8 in my old '86 Suburban for a 5.7L from an older truck.
They're both Chevy small-blocks - how hard could it be?
Well, '86 was the first year of the new rear-main seal appliance - which meant the flex-plate didn't fit. Luckily the older 5.7L came with a flex-plate.
But the 5.7L didn't come with a dipstick - the mounting for that changed, too. On one engine the dipstick came out at the top of the block, on the other it came out from the bottom. It took a bit of bending to get the old one to fit the new engine, and was problematic enough that I considered whether or not I really needed a dipstick....
Then there was the carburetor - I had to drill out the idle-jets and replace the main jets (or was it the metering rods?) to get the Rochester Quadrajet to properly feed the bigger displacement.
In the end it all worked, but it was not a straight-forward, bolt-up replacement.
In your case you're switching families - the 4.8 is a distant cousin of the 5.7. And getting the FI tuned for the bigger engine will take more than just a set of numbered drill bits. Having not done it, I can't say it's impossible. But based on my previous experience I think you'll find the task extremely difficult.Kirk

Would it be easier to keep it Carb?

to move to fuel injection would require adding a whole ton of sensors onto the motor. It would also require a head change I think, since there's sensors in the heads. I would not recommend this unless you know a good bit about the chevy small block lineage and what sensors go where on the block and such... It would be easier to convert it to carb than to upgrade it to fuel injection. It's most probably throttle-body injection with obd-1 sensors.Christopher

chevy 350 rebuild
You might want to try and find a 6.0 from salvage yard as this will bolt in with fewer mods. The guys at Diablo can make a tune for your ecm. It may be more to purchase a salvage 6.0 but I think in the long run you will spend less than converting and rebuilding your 350. Alot of your sensors and wiring will work on the 6.0. I know one guy that changed out his 5.3 to a 6.0 (LQ9) in one day, hooked up all the 5.3 electronics and it started and drove away. He did have the guys at Diablo build a tune for the ecm later and the truck runs good. Also check out GMs 6.0 crate motors. There more money but they come with factory warranties. Scoggin-Dickey seems to have best prices on crate motors. Check em out.

It hasn't been a big adjustment for Stephen Atkinson since he moved into the Missouri Southern starting lineup two games ago.
"Either way, coming off the bench or starting, you have to have the mindset to be ready to play as soon as you're called on," Atkinson said. "It's just keeping my mindset ready from the get-go instead of just watching the game, getting a feel for it from the bench."
Atkinson scored a career-high 20 points in the Lions' 69-39 victory over Central Bible College on Tuesday night, raising his season average to 8.6 points.
The Lions open MIAA play today at Truman State, and Atkinson has some words of advice for the Lions' seven new players.
"It is a very contact conference," he said. "It's aggressive. You have to be strong with the ball. You have to be ready to play every night. The refs aren't going to give you ticky-tack fouls. You have to be strong and just go through people. ... You can't fade (away) and get a call in this league."
The Lions won an MIAA-like game at Arkansas Tech 58-50 one week ago.
"The win at Arkansas Tech was such a huge boost for us as we're going on the road against Truman from the standpoint that our guys understand how we have to play," Lions coach Robert Corn said. "Probably our two best games — at West Texas A&M (a two-point loss) and at Arkansas Tech (eight-point victory) — those were grind-it-out games. And from this point on, we're going to have 18 of them."
The Lions have averaged more than 81 points per game in each of the last three seasons, but that won't be the case this year. The Lions averaged 67.4 points in their first eight games — 61.8 points in their last five games against NCAA Division II opponents.
"This team is going to be a grind-it-out basketball team," Corn said. "Two years ago (when the Lions won the conference title by three games), that team could either beat you with its offense or its defense. Last year's team (fourth place, one game behind the tri-champions), we could beat you with our offense, but we couldn't beat you with our defense.
"This year's team, I don't think we're going to beat anybody with our offense. We're going to have to beat you with our defense. Any time you have that type of team, every possession is going to be magnified because you're not going to get as many possessions as you would if you were playing a fast-paced game. It's going to be very important that we take care of the basketball."
Truman State prevailed 71-69 Wednesday night at Missouri Western, the first time in six seasons that the Bulldogs have won their conference opener.
Mike Carlson, 6-foot-9 junior, scored 19 points — three above his season average — to lead four Bulldogs in double figures. The Bulldogs hit 12-of-37 3-point attempts — they took only 19 shots inside the arc — and a trey by Cole Myers with 26 seconds left proved to be the difference.
Atkinson, who also grabbed a career-high seven rebounds against CBC, averaged 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.0 minutes off the bench last season. He averaged 19 points and 10 rebounds as a senior at Marshall County High School in Benton, Ky., helping the Marshalls to a 28-7 record and an Elite Eight appearance in the state tournament at the University of Kentucky's Rupp Arena.
Atkinson said his second year with the Lions is easier, partly because he's added 10 pounds since last season.
"I've gained some weight, got stronger in the weight room," Atkinson said. "I really worked on that in the summer, to get stronger. That's really helped me out."
Atkinson's 10-pound weight gain pushes him to 195.
"I'd like to get to 205 or 210, maybe more than that," he said.

Welcome to "Hey, Mom and Dad"—a weekly feature in which we ask our Facebook fans to share their views on parenting. Every week, we get the conversation started by taking a look back at a question we asked parents the week before on Patch Facebook pages from around the area.
This week we looked at a hugely popular parenting blog that appeared on a Patch site outside of San Francisco. You can find it here. The blog has gone viral and has touched a nerve with a lot parents.
In a nutshell, the blog centers on two different parenting techniques — one in which the parents hold their children closely and protects them from harm. The other allows the children to make mistakes and sometimes get hurt in the process.
Here's what a few of our readers said about this week's question of:
What's best for kids — a hands off approach that lets them fall down every once in a while or one in which parents try to protect their children from sometimes painful outside influences?
Karen V. Part of the thrill of going to the playground is the risk of getting stuck and having to figure out how to get down. Let them do it! Have you ever seen the proud face of a kid who figured it out on their own? via Oswego Patch Facebook
Robin F. Allowing them to figure out how to climb the ladder on their own could be considered the most valuable learning experience involved in going down the slide. Young children need these kinds of challenges to develop critical problem-solving skills, self confidence, ability to take risks, enhance spatial, coordination, and motor planning skills, and more. And these skills don't just apply to the slide. They will use what they learn at the park when they face other challenges in life. Here is one of my favorite quotes about child development: "Children have a real understanding only of that which they invent themselves, and each time we try to teach them something too quickly, we keep them from reinventing it themselves." via Yorkville Patch Facebook
Bridget G. Great article....too many kids today are being rescued and not raised by their parents. I don't understand most of time what parents are so afraid of when the can't set limits, enforce boundaries, allow for mistakes or errors in judgement. How does someone come to believe that this helps a person to develop? via Plainfield Patch Facebook
Pamela B. When my children were younger "under two years" I would put the kids at the top of the ladder or stairs so they could go down the slide. Then I wanted my children to try and walk up on there own while I was standing there just in case they fell. (The park by me has the old stair case where they are short steep steps). Then my children started climbing the playground items that I did not feel they were age appropriate for, but stood by while they figured it out. via Bolingbrook Patch Facebook
Wayne J. On their own. Let them take risks. Kids don't take risks unless you allow them to. Be there to help them if they fall and they are hurt, but they need to be motivated intrinsically. via Joliet Patch Facebook
Judy L. Teach first, then be there for support as they try it on their own. via Shorewood Patch Facebook
Natalie S. Why do we need a policy for the playground? How is it that people don't think things have gone too far with regulating EVERYTHING? via Montgomery Patch Facebook

It has been a staple in the Treasure Valley, but Boise Community Concert Association organizers say theyll present their final show on April 24 when they host Presidio Brass, a chamber ensemble from San Diego.
The BCCA depends heavily on volunteers and has lost much of that support in the past 10 years, said Jack Cogswell, who has run the group for more than a decade.
Its really a matter of attrition, Cogswell said. And Im not sure what to do about that. Weve tried getting younger people involved, but thats been a struggle.
With an aging board and audience, the organization has seen its numbers fall despite producing strong seasons in Boise High Schools auditorium at an affordable price.
Season tickets ran about $65 for a series of five shows of classical, jazz and musical revues.
Ive really loved doing this, Cogswell said. Its hard to let the thing go, but you get to a stage where youve got to.
Like many traditional community institutions and fraternal and service organizations nationwide, the concert association is a victim of changing times and the proliferation of competing entertainment.
Community Concerts started in 1927, when some leading East Coast impresarios came up with a plan to export high musical culture to small-town America. The Columbia Broadcasting System threw in its support three years later, and the Community Concerts Corp. was established.
With a focus on classical music, it found a ready audience for tours of performers such as Jascha Heifetz and Vladimir Horowitz. By the 1930s, the idea had caught on nationally. Boise started its organization in 1931.
Over the years, many famous performers got their starts touring and performing across the country through Community Concerts, including Metropolitan Opera conductor James Levine, baritone Thomas Hampson and pianist Alpin Hong.
For the past 11 years, the Boise group has booked its acts through Live On Stage, a Nashville company that works with 180 Community Concerts organizations in 41 states.
In that time, said Live On Stages Mark Ross, the number of groups the company works with has stayed fairly consistent though some have closed and some have started anew. He said that makes him think there is a possibility that the Boise group could restart at some point.
But Ross said he knows that times are changing and that such groups have had a hard time keeping pace.
Sylvia Hunt runs Caldwell Fine Arts, a group based at College of Idaho that is similar to the Boise association. She said the news is sad but not shocking.
Im sorry they werent able to find a way to continue ... like us, the audience we enjoyed 20 or 50 years ago has died out, she said. Their children havent carried on in the same enthusiastic way.
There are so many avenues people can take to choose their own entertainment. With so many electronic devices, in this day and age, you dont get the automatic support for the community.
Caldwell Fine Arts started in 1961. Hunt took it on in 1981 and now wants to revitalize its presence in Canyon County.
This summer, she said, College of Idaho will install new seating in Jewett Auditorium, the organizations performance home. She said she has a few younger volunteers and she hopes that they will keep the group going.

Students leaving school in June and seeking jobs for the summer were apparently unsuccessful, as the local unemployment rate spiked last month.
Although unemployment is at its highest level of the year so far, Hunt County's jobless figures remain well below where they were at the same point one year ago, according to a report released Friday by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).
Hunt County was listed with a 7.4 percent unemploymente last month, compared to 6.9 percent unemployment in June and a 9.4 percent unemployment rate in June 2012. The rate from June of last year was the highest ever seen for the month in Hunt County.
There were 38,025 people reported on the job last month, representing a loss of 89 jobs since May, but the addition of 1,009 jobs in the past 12 months.
A total of 3,038 people were reported to have filed for unemployment in Hunt County last month, an increase of 232 people since May, but 767 fewer people than in June 2012.
Hunt County is listed by the Texas Workforce Commission as part of the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metropolitan Division, which also includes Dallas, Collin, Delta, Denton, Ellis, Kaufman and Rockwall counties.
Delta County recorded the division's highest unemployment rate last month, at 8.3 percent unemployment. Dallas County posted a 7.2 percent unemployment rate and Kaufman County registered 7.1 percent unemployment in June.
Collin and Denton counties tied for the region's lowest unemployment rate last month, at 6.1 percent, with Rockwall County at 6.4 percent and Ellis County recording 6.7 percent unemployment during June.
Among other nearby counties, Fannin County posted a 9.2 percent unemployment rate during June, Hopkins County 6.1 percent, Lamar County 8.7 percent, Rains County 7.2 percent and Van Zandt County listed a 6.6 percent unemployment rate last month.

Revered, out-of-it, haunted, psych folk 1969 solo album by former member of Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape (who dropped some LSD and motorcycyled from California to the Nashville studio, in his pyjamas).
From the 1967 Strictly Personal sessions. In truth only one track is new out, and there are issues with the sound restoration. But if you're not in that deep — still so stupendous, and nicely packaged.
Boxed replicas of their sevens, two of them in picture sleeves, in rare mono versions, with little-seen photos, notes by David Fricke. Two were planned, but not released; the seventh was promo-only.

GQ Crowns LeBron James the King of NBA Style
February 19th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 9 comments
King James has a new realm to rule over: that of style. GQ just crowned LeBron as the "King of NBA Style" in a new piece that captures some of his current wardrobe while also looking at some iffy outfits that he wore in the past. The photos were captured by hype-lord photograph Terry Richardson and feature some interesting sneaker choices from the man like the Nike Flyknit Trainer and the luxury-leaning Balenciaga Arena. Get a couple of looks after the break and then head to GQ for the full piece on LeBron's style.

Crusaders Announce 2006 Schedule
Friday, May 19, 2006After three straight Mid-Continent Conference Championships, the 2006 Valparaiso University volleyball team will begin their quest for a fourth consecutive title August 25 with a schedule that includes four NCAA Tournament teams from 2005 and 10 home matches at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
Head Coach Carin Avery announced the 32-match schedule today, a lineup that begins at the Chicagoland Classic, one of five in-season tournaments on the slate. UIC will host the four-team tourney that includes DePaul and Loyola (Chicago). Both UIC and Loyola, the defending Horizon League Tournament Champions, will become part of Valpo's conference schedule in 2007 when the Brown and Gold join the Horizon League.
On September 1, the Crusaders will make the short trip to South Bend for the prestigious Shamrock Invitational featuring 2005 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen teams Missouri and host Notre Dame.
One week later the Brown and Gold will take part in the Cyclone Classic, battling Iowa State, Drake and South Dakota State in Ames and Des Moines, Iowa. Valpo then finishes their season-opening stretch of tournaments September 15-16 in Cullowhee, N.C. at the Catamount Clash V Tournament, hosted by Western Carolina.
Other non-conference opponents during the regular season include DePaul, Illinois State, Chicago State and IPFW at the Athletics-Recreation Center and a meeting with 2005 NCAA Tournament qualifier Missouri State on the road October 29.
The Crusaders' final season in the Mid-Continent Conference begins September 22 against Oakland, the first of three straight conference matches at the ARC. The Mid-Con slate concludes on Valpo's senior day, Saturday, November 4 at 5:00 p.m. against Western Illinois.
Oral Roberts will host the 2006 Mid-Continent Conference Tournament at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Tulsa, Okla., November 17-18. Following the conclusion of the conference tournament, the Crusaders will head to Oxford, Ohio to battle Miami and Akron at the Miami Thanksgiving Invitational.
Avery's 2006 Crusaders return only nine letterwinners and two starters from last season's 27-8 squad, but have won 29 of their last 30 Mid-Con regular season matches and 23 straight overall at the ARC.

The group released its first single, "Revelation," in 1985. "Revelation" was popular in Florida, so 2 Live Crew (sans Amazing V) relocated to Miami.

From staff reports
The Union-Recorder
A family disagreement over property turned into a case of robbery and aggravated assault, according to local authorities.
According to Maj. Reginald Hill of the Milledgeville Police Department, officers responded to an Underwood Road address Wednesday morning in reference to an argument over family property. Police say 30-year-old Kristine McGhee informed officers that she had been in an argument with her family over some property that she claimed was left to her by another family member. The family owns Video Bazaar on South Elbert Street.
McGhee was advised that the disagreement was a civil matter and was seen leaving the residence.
At approximately 9:06 a.m. Wednesday, dispatch received a 911 call from Video Bazaar.
"The call was transferred from the county, and we arrived on scene minutes later," said Hill.
According to Hill, the officer found the victim, McGhee's grandmother, behind the counter, unresponsive and severely injured. EMS was notified and arrived on scene shortly thereafter. The victim had been beaten about the face, head, arms and midsection area with a baseball bat, according to law enforcement. The alleged weapon was found near the area where the assault had taken place.
As of press time Wednesday evening, the victim remained in critical condition at the Medical Center of Central Georgia.
MPD along with Baldwin County Sheriff's Office are seeking McGhee, the victim's granddaughter, in connection to the case.
"We have sent units out to check several addresses that have come up in our search, but nothing of any significance has come up as to her whereabouts," said Michael Lumpkin of the sheriff's office.
State warrants were issued for the arrest of McGhee, charging her with armed robbery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
"These charges could be updated pending the victim's condition," Hill said.
McGhee was last seen driving a tan 2010 Toyota Corolla. Anyone with any information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office at (478) 445-4891 or Milledgeville Police Department at (478) 414-4000.

In a year of victories, Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow just notched another one.
Glasgow successfully defended his office againset upstart Republican challenger Dave Carlson, taking 136,469 of 239,975 election night votes. He will be sworn in a fifth term as Will County's top prosecutor.
Glasgow captured 56.87 percent of the ballot to Carlson's 43.13 percent.
Election results will not be official until Nov. 27, when canvassing of votes is completed and after absentee ballots postmarked by midnight, Nov. 5, and provisional and grace period ballots are counted on Nov. 20.
Glasgow was jubilant after the last precincts results were counted.
"I'm looking forward to putting bad guys away and creating innovative prevention programs," he said.
Glasgow has held the state's attorney's seat since 1992, except for a four-year gap when he was defeated by Republican Jeff Tomczak in 2000.
The last year has been a smashing success for Glasgow, with high-profile murder convictions of wife-slayer Drew Peterson and quadruple-killer Christopher Vaughn in September.
Carlson was an assistant state's attorney hired by Tomczak, the man who defeated—and then lost to—Glasgow. Before that, Carlson worked as a probation officer in Cook County and now has a private practice in Joliet.

Micheline Maynard, Contributor
I look at all the ways we get around
That tremor you may have noticed yesterday was the collective shudder of people who work from home, when they heard that new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has banned the practice. Mayer, in a memo soon to be legendary in human resources circles, declared that she needed her troops in the office as Yahoo climbs out of a crisis.
"To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side," Mayer wrote.
There have been a number of news reports suggesting that Yahoo employees exploited the company's work at home policy, which might explain why the company is in the situation that it's in. If that's the case, you can understand that Mayer is looking for a solution.
Mayer is certainly showing decisiveness in her first months at Yahoo, even returning to the job just two weeks after giving birth. But leaders aren't only decisive. They admit when they are wrong, and that's what Mayer should do here.
I am among the estimated 30 million Americans who work from remote locations, and I've done so off and on for more than a decade. In that time, I've built a career as a nationally known business journalist, written two of my four books, taught MBAs and undergraduates, and also honed my culinary skills.
I've worked in an office when I needed to be there, as I did in public radio, and spent ample time in the home office of my previous employer, The New York Times. Now, I divide my time between the campus at Central Michigan University and my home office in Ann Arbor, Mich. I can operate comfortably in both a remote and an on-site environment, but given a choice, I vastly prefer the ability to work from home.
People who've only worked in office environments often misconstrue what we do when we're not in the building. "I could never work from home," a friend told me a few years back. "I'd be watching soap operas and reading tabloids."
Well, you don't watch soap operas and read tabloids if you're serious about your career and giving value to your employer and your colleagues. I'm sure the shocked employees at Yahoo feel the same way, as they're bound to be letting Mayer know right now. The situation reminds me of something Professor John Whitney once said to our Columbia Business School class. Blanket declarations don't work, he told us. If you lay off 10 percent of the work force, you might have just gotten rid of the person who has the key to the bathroom.
Ever since Mayer's memo leaked, there's been a spirited conversation about the validity of working at home (or WAH, as it's nicknamed). In fact, the comments below reflect that. So does the chat we've had all this morning about it on Twitter.
Here's a feel for my typical day, and it doesn't begin by sleeping in. I'm up between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., just as many of my commuting colleagues are. After ablutions and breakfast, my first stop is Twitter (you can find me @mickimaynard) for a check of the headlines and conversations. Next, I'm reading deeper into the news.
I may have an 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. conference call, especially during earnings season. If I am driving from Ann Arbor to the CMU campus in Mt. Pleasant, I now hit the road. If I'm working at home, I'm starting in on the story I need to prepare that day, or sketching out my next lecture.
At some point, I take a lunch break. Sometimes, I go downtown to Kerrytown, where I like to have business lunches at Monahan's Seafood, or pop over to Zingerman's Roadhouse. Both those locations have wi-fi, so I can work before my appointment arrives, and stay afterwards for coffee or some more work. Throughout the day, I'm on social media, scouring the Web for information, setting up more appointments and calls for future interviews, checking out new apps and media technology.
Depending on family responsibilities, my work days can wrap up as early as 5 p.m. or go beyond 7 p.m. But they're never really over, since I'm always on the hunt for ideas that can turn into stories for Forbes, and my other media clients, or my food blog, CulinaryWoman. I'm constantly making notes to myself about topics I can introduce to my business journalism and entrepreneurial journalism students, and responding to their emails and texts. Since I'm responsible for posting and maintaining my Web site, I spend time on multi media projects, too.
There's no nine to five for me, even though I work remotely. And knowing the competitive culture of Silicon Valley, I doubt that any of the Yahoo employees working from home are limiting themselves to four hours of work before lunch and four after. If they're devoted to the company, and creative, they're thinking all the time.
Mayer is new to the Yahoo culture, and she certainly wants to send a message that she's going to do things differently. This is one of the top women in her field, and she knows she faces a tough job. But if her intent is to spark innovation, she picked the wrong battle, and now it's time to climb down.
It will not be seen as a defeat for her to say, "You know what? I was wrong" and reverse the working from home ban. She is well within her rights to say, "We're in a tough spot. For now, I need you in the office" as long as people know that long-term, their ability to work from home is preserved. If there are some abusers, and it's hard to believe that every single WAH from Yahoo is one, then deal with them. Don't punish the entire workforce to weed out the weak links.
As someone who has been a manager over the years, I know what she was trying to do: set out her priorities. And, employees like clear direction. I also know that people respect you if you listen, and show flexibility. All the people heaping criticism on Mayer for her "stone age" step will hopefully praise her, if she does reverse her decision. I know I'd want to work for a boss who showed that kind of leadership. Especially, from home.
Irony — I'm reading this via Yahoo.
Journalist like yourself have never been part of a design team which require loads of collaboration with like minded innovators to develop the next best thing in the tech industry. Until you have worn those hats, played apart of developing new tech innovations, you may never understand where Marrisa is coming from. We need more face-to-face collaboration in our current advancement of technology solutions, not less.
When each individual has a discrete set of responsibilities, and those tasks are independent of the other members, then WAH can make sense. However, realities are such that free-flowing responsibilities (where tasks change and are dependent on other tasks, members, and other teams) the immediacy of the moment dictates that synergy (oh, how I hate that term!) needs to be quickly built and spent.
As one who has worked in both environments, I loved being able to get up at 2 a.m. to solve a particularly vexing problem, and then sleep as late as I wanted to later. On the other hand, being able to discuss the problem with my team would have probably given the same answer, but much faster.
Here is me at 8 am pretending to write a column about Marissa Mayer when in actuality it's an article about meeeee! Here's me at 9 am writing about food. Here's me at 10 am masturbating to my food column that I published on the internet. Here's me at lunchtime going on about food again. Here's me having an opinion on business because I wouldn't want anyone to think I only write about food.
Gee Marissa, what about the "memo" all of the Yahoo members sent you regarding that horrible, cluttered, Junior College thing you call a home page!?!?!
This diatribe is pretty short sighted. Working out of a home office in an occupation which is basically a lone ranger situation with intermittent projects which are largely independent of each other and of others, is a very different story than managing divisions or departments in a corporate organization from a remote location.
Mayer is 100% correct. Get your ass in to work. Working from home doesn't work in 99.9% of cases. Sure, it's great for the person who's working from home, but it's not good for the company.

We're here at HSBC Arena for the last game of the quarterfinals between the Finns and the Russians with the winner getting Sweden at 3:30 p.m. Monday.

9:57 p.m.: Puck drop.
7:37 left: Valtteri Virkunen stopped by Shikin.
5:44: Fine left pad save Ortio on hard shot from point by Dmitri Orlov through traffic.

Final, Russia 4-3.
Third period

3:41: Russia makes it interesting with a power-play goal as Yevgeni Kuzentsov jams in the rebound after being intially stopped on shot while driving to the net from the corner. Finland leads, 3-2.
1:38: Mother Russia strikes again. Kitsyn puts in a rebound after Kuzentsov is stopped by Ortio after splitting the Finnish defense for the one-on-one chance. Tied, 3-3.
End of third: Tied 3-3. Shots 40-35 Russia. Ten minute sudden death overtime period. If no one scores then its on to the shootout. Oh joy.
Second period
8:25 p.m.: Puck drop.
17:33 left: Finns just kill off Russian power play. Russia had a couple chances, the biggie a blast from the top of the faceoff circle by Semyon Valuiski that was stopped and held by Ortio.
17:00: Finns get power play chance now.
15:00: Fine passing display but looking for perfect chance and didn't get it. Shooting the puck is never a bad idea.
13:56: Some 4-on-4 play for two minutes.
12:20: First real good chance with extra room by either team as Finland's Erik Haula rings one off the pipe.
6:40: Russia hits the post as shot by Denis Golubev is deflected off the iron by Valuiski.
5:49: Toni Rajala blasts one wide on the doorstep for Finns. Shots are 21-20 Russia.
2:34: Eleven seconds after Finn goalie Joni Ortio robs Maxim Kitsyn twice on the doorstep, Finland goes the other way and scores, a goal by Julius Junttila on a semi breakaway, top shelf stick side. Finland leads, 2-1.
1:59: Ortio beats Stanislav Bocharov, who was all alone point blank range between the hash marks and had the shot eaten up by an aggressive save.
End of second: Russia outshoots Finns 12-8 in period but got outscored 1-0. Shots for game, 25-25. Finns will have 2-man advantage for 1:24 to start third period. Chance to pull away. Ortio is playing like a man between the pipes for Finns.
First period
7:39 p.m.: Puck drop.
18:14 left: Mikka Salomaki has a chance denied by Russian goalie Dmitri Shikin.
16:34: Finland goalie Joni Ortio's turn to get into the saving act as he denies quality chance by Semyon Valuiski.
12:31: Toni Rajala fires wide on a 2-on-1 for the Finns.
10:20: Iiro Pakarinen is denied twice by Shinkin on the doorstep.
9:50: Russia lights the lamp. Yuri Urychev shot from the point tipped in by a Finn defenseman. Russia leads, 1-0.
7:28: Finland scores, we get the Sabres' horn and cheers. Teemu Pulkkinen stuffs in feed from behind the net from Iiro Pakarinen, who collected the rebound of a shot near the crease and skated around the goal. Tied, 1-1.
6:25: Finns have gotten some chances but haven't cashed, either firing wide or being stopped by Shikin. We'll find out as the game goes on if that winds up being costly.
5:21: Nice stop on short side by Ortio on feed from behind net to keep it tied.
End of first: We are tied at 1-1. Finland holds 17-13 edge in shots. Dmitri Shikin, who played well in a 2-0 loss earlier in the tournament, is giving Russia a chance, making several quality stops. Ortio has looked rather calm between pipes for Finns.

The state Department of Transportation says it won't amount to "Carmageddon," but this weekend will be the biggest construction weekend the Puget Sound area has seen all summer.
Drivers should plan and be prepared for total road closures in Renton, Seattle, Bellevue, Lake Stevens and Clearview in Snohomish County. The DOT says the weekend mantra is: Leave early then add an hour.
"We've packed a lot of construction into one weekend," said Lorena Eng, Washington State Department of Transportation regional administrator. "Drivers should check the Web, plan alternate routes, stay on top of changing traffic conditions, and be prepared for longer than normal travel times."
- The State Route 520 floating bridge and all connected ramps will be closed between Montlake Boulevard in Seattle and Interstate 405 in Bellevue from 11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 13, while crews demolish the old Bellevue Way Northeast overpass and dig a 25-foot-deep trench to install a culvert beneath all lanes of the highway.
- State Route 167 will be closed between I-405 and South 180th Street/Southwest 43rd Street from 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 4:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 13, while crews dig a 35-foot-deep trench to install a new culvert beneath the highway.
- State Route 9 between State Route 524 and 180 Street SE in Clearview was scheduled to be closed from 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 2 a.m. Sunday, but was reopened several hours early.
- The intersection of State Route 92 and SR 9 will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 12, for paving.
- The city of Seattle will close the southbound I-5 off-ramp at 85th Street from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 27, to pave 85th Street.
Ge more info on the DOT August Weekend Closure Web page.
Another complicating factor for drivers this weekend is the first pre-season Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field. The game kicks off at 7 p.m. Saturday night. King County Metro reminds fans that it will be running Seahawks shuttles again this year.
Download the FREE Seattle Traffic App to stay on top of closures. You'll get:

Changes to our newsletter
Changes to our newsletter
At Beyond Bank, we believe in caring for the community, the environment and our planet. By building sustainable practices into everything we do, we can create long term benefits for our customers, employees and the community – and as a customer owned bank, we also believe in returning value to everyone who banks with us.
For these reasons, we've decided to take the next steps in the way that we deliver our newsletter.
Changes to how you will receive your Pathways magazine
From the October issue onwards, Pathways will undergo a transformation from the printed newsletter you currently receive with your statement, to an interactive, online publication. This will allow us to better tailor our content to suit your needs.
By not printing the newsletter we will reduce the amount of paper we use by nearly 1.2 million sheets a year – what a fantastic way of lowering our impact on the environment!
While there will not be a printed version of the newsletter arriving in the post from October, we will still bring you a range of news and advice.
For news and updates on how the digital Pathways is evolving, follow us on Facebook or on Twitter.
To ensure we are providing content you will enjoy, we would love it if you could complete a short survey and tell us what is important to you.
Scheduled Maintenance 6 July

Changes to the Community Reward Account
The Community Reward Account supports eligible community groups and not-for-profit organisations through the Community Bonus Payment, which is an annual donation made by us to participating organisations.
The Community Bonus Payment is calculated at the end of 30 June by multiplying the Community Bonus Payment percentage by the average annual balance held in the Community Reward Accounts of all account holders who have nominated the same organisation.
The Community Bonus Payment percentage is based on the number of supporters a community organisation has at 30 June each year. We review the Community Bonus Payment percentage annually. The percentage used to calculate the 2014/15 payment will be as follows:
|Number of Supporters
|Community Bonus Payment Percentage p.a.
|Less than 10
|50 plus
These changes will be included in our updated version of the Product Guide, available from us and on our website from 1 August 2014.
Statement frequency changes
Each year we use more than 400,000 sheets of paper and 200,000 envelopes when we send statements to more than 100,000 of our customers.
To reduce our carbon footprint, commencing from January 2015, we are changing the way we deliver our customer statements, moving from a quarterly cycle to delivering twice a year in July and January (because of legal obligations, customers with a credit limit will continue to receive their statements monthly).
And to further reduce our environmental impacts we want to encourage our customers to switch to electronic statements over the coming months in preparation for the change.
Switching to e-statements also means that our customers can access their statements day or night and always have access to their previous statements. Plus, by using less paper, it makes a positive difference to the environment.
How to make the switch to e-statements
You can register to receive e-statements directly through internet banking via our "Statements and History" page.
To enjoy 24/7 access to your statements and help us help the planet, simply make the switch!
To ensure you receive your newsletter and your statements electronically, please update your customer details by visiting us at your local branch, give us a call on 13 25 85 or by updating your contact details via internet banking.
We will write to you again soon and provide more information about these changes.
Changes to Fees and Charges
To ensure that we are always providing our customers with a competitive range of products and services, it is important that we regularly review our accounts and fees and charges associated with our product and service offerings. Effective from 1 August 2014, the following changes will occur.
Transaction Fees
The following changes affect the following accounts:

From 1 August merchants will begin allowing 'cash-out' transactions with Visa Debit purchases. These transactions will incur the same fee as eftpos transactions: $0.90
The following fee affects all accounts:
- Non-rediATM withdrawal, transfer, balance enquiry or declined transaction: $0.15 plus the direct charge amount disclosed on the ATM at the time of transaction
Card Fees
Beyond Bank offers a secure, multiple channel Visa debit card. Visa transactions are fee free and with the majority of merchants now offering payWave, a Visa debit card is a secure, quick and easy way to transact. Visa cards are free for members.
Increasing costs in maintaining our rediCARD product will see the introduction of a quarterly rediCARD service fee of $5.00. This fee will be charged on all accounts for each active rediCARD that is attached to the account on the following dates each year:
- 31st March
- 30th June
- 30th September
- 31st December
Some customers, including those less than 18 years of age, may be exempt. We encourage members to switch to a Visa debit card if they wish to avoid this fee. Please call 13 25 85 to find out more. These fee changes will be included in our updated version of the Fees and Charges brochure, available from us and on our website from 1 August 2014.
Tips to reduce Fees and Charges
Still using a rediCARD? The Visa Debit card has no service fee and provides a wider choice of transaction methods including unlimited fee free transactions when you choose the 'CR' option and don't get cash-out when using EFTPOS. Upgrade to a Visa Debit card today by contacting us on 13 25 85.
