The Traverse City Area Public Schools Board of Education extended Superintendent Stephen Cousins' contract by one year after conducting his annual performance review.
Cousins contract with the district now extends through the 2015 academic year.
"His relentless commitment to driving district improvement is clear to all Board members, and deeply appreciated," a written evaluation compiled by board President Kelly Hall reads.
The evaluation praised Cousins in most areas, but it also pointed to recent events like the district's failed bond proposal and administrators' trip to China as evidence of room for improvement.
"The Board expects that the lessons learned regarding the Chinese exchange should help instill the need for constant vigilance on the district's responsibility to be completely and proactively transparent in all respects."
Cousins said he looked forward to continuing his work with TCAPS and thanked the district's staff.
"The evaluation reflects a work of a lot of people, mostly other people," Cousins said.
Cousins and board members mutually agreed not to increase the superintendent salary.
The position pays about $168,500 annually, according to salary information posted on the district's web site.

Customer Reviews
Revised 07/2012

Posted by Reviewer1435755 From Indiana on Jul 21, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
While this had been one of the best organic options we've used, any reviews prior to Spring 2012 were based on their old formulas, which they supposedly changed to be "more sustainable". Indeed, they will be more sustainable because the new formulas are not effective & require more product to even be manageable. Therefore, we will not be buying this one again. Previous Impression: Although a pump dispenser would be nice, if you shake the conditioner upside down before attempting to squeeze it out, it does come out easy enough. The conditioner actually feels very smooth & light to the touch, but feels heavier when on the hair. I have to be careful not to use too much. But it works great for detangling our young girls' long, thick hair! Yeah-less whining when we comb it!

Mango conditioner, I'm on it too enthusiastic, it is very thick, delicious, healthy and most importantly, that when it is washed off, then do not feel that the hair lubricated with silicone, it quickly disappeared, did not increase the weight of the hair and gives it a shine, just incredible brilliance, a sense of cleanliness and good health! hairs straight living, easy and healthy!

This product is great. It makes my hair so shiny and soft. I am so pleased with the results. I recently switched over to Organics shampoo and conditioner and Organic hair products have made a huge difference in the look of my hair. I have been trying for years to find the secret to shiny hair and have used every shine product possible and nothing works as well as organic shampoos. This product works as well as my previous conditioner which costs twice as much but half the size. I will never use anything else again!

This conditioner is definately the best I've ever tried. I can't feel any mango smell there and to be honest I don't like it's smell so much, but for me it doesn't matter. I had a very damaged hair, cause I have been colored it for years. I tried a lot of expensive items, but this one is much better. I use it with Avalon Shampoo (without mango) and it works great. Now my hair is soft, silky and finally alive! Just re-odered one more bottle.

Law & Justice
If you have a strong desire to make a difference in our world and are looking for a challenging and rewarding career, then our Law or Criminology courses are for you.
Developed in consultation with industry, our courses aim to equip you with the skills that employers seek. Our practical focus will ensure you graduate job ready by exposing you to a variety of opportunities such as work placements and mooting competitions.
Study Law Online
At ECU we understand that sometimes you need your studies to fit your life, whether its family commitments, full‑time work or you simply can't make it to campus.
We were the first WA university to offer an accredited online law degree degree meaning you can work towards your dream career no matter what the situation.
As an online student you will have access to all on-campus facilities, interactive learning spaces, recorded lectures and online discussion groups.
Experience the "Innocence Project"
Ever wondered what it's like to stand up and fight a real case? ECU's Criminology, Law and Forensic Investigation students can have the opportunity to do just this through the Criminal Justice Review Project. Under the supervision of ECU academics and criminal barristers, selected students have the opportunity to join the "Innocence Project" which pursues the exoneration of those who have been wrongly convicted.
Hands-on experience with the on‑campus legal centre
ECU Law students may have the opportunity to work with real cases, under the supervision of legal practitioners, at the on‑campus Northern Suburbs Community Legal Centre.
The Centre provides legal information and advice to the community in the areas of family and criminal law, domestic violence, tenancy, elder abuse and some areas of civil law. This partnership provides vital experience for our Law students.
Real-world knowledge
Our Law and Justice staff are committed to providing you with an authentic and challenging learning experience. They draw on their industry experience to develop teaching programs that address real-world issues and case studies.
Our lecturers and tutors actively engage with industry and the community to ensure students receive opportunities to develop their professional skills through relevant work placements.
"If you're considering ECU, my advice is, grab the opportunity with both hands and run with it. You won't be disappointed!"
"I have felt a sense of belonging at ECU since my first day; lecturers and tutors are welcoming and keen to share their knowledge and expertise. As a mature-age student I was a little apprehensive about being the odd one out in class, but I've made a point of participating in events and embracing uni life. Instead of being a barrier, my life experience has proved to be an asset to my study experience. In 2007 I won the Nicholson Shield for 'Negotiating' and the D.P. Murphy medal for 'Best Orator'. In the same year I was part of a team that represented ECU at the ALSA Conference in Canberra in a series of negotiating competitions. In 2008 I was a finalist in the Tottle Shield mooting competition. In 2009 I was selected to be part of an ECU team for the LAW ASIA Competition in Ho Chi Minh City. The experience of participating with 16 other universities from the Asian region, together with a field of international judges, was tremendous and unforgettable."
Grant Narbey
Bachelor of Laws student
International Mooting CompetitionsIn recent years, ECU Law students have participated in various moots including the Vis Moot (International Commercial Arbitration) and LAWASIA competitions. The Vis Moot is one of the largest mooting competitions in the world and is conducted in Hong Kong and Vienna. The LAWASIA International Moot Competition is held annually in a different Asia-Pacific location each year with this year's event being held in Bali.
A team of ECU Law students has competed in the competition for the past four years. Senior Law Lecturer Mr Michael Crowley and Mr Anthony Hevron provide valuable advice, coaching and support to the student teams.
Law schools from all over the world participate in moot competitions, which pose a legal challenge that the teams are then judged on by a panel of distinguished international legal experts. "Mooting is an important part of legal education as it provides students with the opportunity to put their skills and training into practice. By involving our students in such competitions as the Vis Moot and LAWASIA, we hope to provide these prospective lawyers with the necessary skills for the real world," Mr Crowley said.
Criminology students gain industry insight with prison tours
Second year Criminology students were given the chance to experience their industry first hand, taking tours of Perth metropolitan prisons for their Correctional Studies unit.
Students were given the opportunity to visit Acacia Prison, Bandyup Women's Prison, Casuarina Prison or Hakea Prison where they were given tours of each facility by prison staff, gaining insight into the operations and management of the facilities.
Student Andy Summers visited Acacia Prison, and found the experience both interesting and valuable to his studies. "The Operations Manager of the prison was very knowledgeable and we got to see a lot more of the prison than I expected." he said.
Law student says it in plain English
Congratulations to Bachelor of Laws student Peter Viney who was named one of the winners of the 2012 Plain English Drafting Competition, held by the Clear Writing Committee of the Law Society of Western Australia.
Peter joined five other WA students as the six winners of the 2012 competition and was the only first year student to win. The entries were blind marked by a panel of senior legal practitioners, with just six winners chosen.
The competition is open to undergraduate Law students in Western Australia and aims to encourage writing that communicates clearly and effectively to the intended reader. Students are set the task of applying clear writing drafting principles in a legal letter.
On the front line with DUMA
ECU students are gaining real-world experience through exciting programs such as Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA).
Working in collaboration with the WA Police and the Australian Institute of Criminology, the DUMA program seeks to measure drug use among people recently apprehended by police.DUMA currently collects quarterly drug use information from police detainees. The collection is the only ongoing survey of offenders. The program examines the relationship between drugs and crime, and monitors local drug markets and drug use patterns by detainees.
Law students mooting with the best
ECU Law students proved that our School of Law and Justice is punching well above its weight after claiming third place in an international mooting competition. Douglas Johnson, Kimberley Truong and Veenela Veerasamy travelled to Hong Kong in July 2012 to compete in the City University of Hong Kong International Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Moot.
The ECU team won through to the semi-finals in the Moot; an achievement School of Law and Justice Lecturer Anthony Hevron said was
something to be enormously proud of.
Douglas Johnson said the Moot had been one of the highlights of his time at ECU and thoroughly recommended the experience to any Law students.
ECU Criminology students learn beyond the classroom
Three ECU Criminology and Justice students attended the 2012 Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) student forum held in Canberra. This is an annual one-day Criminology forum that gives students from across the country the chance to hear from leading criminologists in the areas of drug crime, trafficking, crime prevention and cyber-crime.
Camille Warren, Kylie Fitch and Stephanie Mugliston competed against other ECU students to win a small grant to assist with flights and
accommodation. ECU has supported this event for the past 2 years and continues to be the only Western Australian university to be represented at the conference.
"ECU's Law degree bridges the gap between theory and practice"
Practical skills are incorporated into the course from the very start. In my first year I was conducting mediations and negotiations and by my third year I was interviewing clients, under supervision, at the on-campus Joondalup Community Legal Centre. In my second year I was fortunate to receive ECU sponsorship to attend and compete in a National Mooting Competition. We won first prize for best written submissions and brought back to WA the Clayton Utz Cup. Before graduating I was selected for a Judges Associateship with the Supreme Court of WA and I already have a job lined up with Perth's top independent commercial law firm, Jackson McDonald, after my Associateship."
Katie McKenzie
Law graduate
Beyond the Courtroom
Law or Criminology and Forensic Investigation students are given a range of opportunities to gain practical experience. Students complete work placements and participate in client interviewing, competitions, moots, legal research and writing clinics.
This balance of theory and practice provides greater options for rewarding careers in and beyond the courtroom, including youth justice, social work, corrections, forensic investigation, law enforcement, customs and business, to name a few.
John Button and Andrew Mallard address ECU Criminology students
Wrongfully convicted duo John Button and Andrew Mallard joined students in the Psychology and Criminal Justice unit for a guest lecture. John and Andrew shared their stories and talked about the moral and ethical responsibilities people may have in their roles as police officers, lawyers and judges.
They emphasised the importance of maintaining integrity when working in these positions, and shared their thoughts on the reforms required in the criminal justice system to prevent further miscarriages of justice. At the end of the presentations, the students were given the opportunity to ask questions.
Ms Nikki Rajakaruna, Psychology and Criminal Justice lecturer, invited the guest speakers as she believed they could teach an important lesson to students. John Button now assists the Criminal Justice Review Project ('Innocence Project') based at ECU, in the review of other claims of wrongful conviction.
Law students recognised by Department for Child Protection
Our third-year Law and Justice students completed 14 weeks of work experience in the Department for Child Protection's Civil Litigation Unit.
The Civil Litigation Unit acts on behalf of the CEO of the Department to conduct the legal claims of children in care. The students received training and practical experience in many areas, including administration applications, criminal injuries compensation and guardianship.
Students were given opportunities to attend proceedings in the Children's Court, Coroner's Court, the State Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court of Appeal, and made a significant contribution in progressing the legal claims of over 40 children in care.
This was the fourth program that ECU students have been involved in, with the program set to continue in coming years.
Students Fight for Justice Beyond the Classroom
The Justice Awareness Group (JAG) is based at ECU. Comprising of Law and Justice students, academics and community members, who share a goal of promoting equity and justice in the WA justice system by encouraging public discussion. In 2011, JAG members organised a public event focused on the issue of wrongful conviction.

as I was just starting to get into sports at the age of 13. In that game, being born and raised in suburban Chicago, I took great pleasure in using the most unfair team in the game, the Blackhawks. Jeremy Roenick was practically unstoppable at center, while Chris Chelios and Steve Smith were the perfect pair of defensemen. Between the pipes was Ed Belfour, so just in case I wasn't great on offense that night, I had the best goaltender in the league to help keep the damage to a minimum. While the world of hockey has evolved in the last 20 years, so has the gaming industry around sports titles, especially hockey.
EA Sports
, sticking with the theme that is to start from scratch with several of their sports franchises, has given to us a revamped hockey title in the form of
It's important to note right away that the overall feel of
is geared more toward strategy and less about one-on-one play. In past titles, if a player had one star player, he or she could simply use that player to knife through defenses and make plays on the goalie with little resistance. The game has slowed down in comparison to past titles. Now,
True Performance Skating
takes center stage within this title. Skaters aren't going to just stop on a dime and change direction now. Everything is based on true physics. For example, if a player is controlling a skater away from the puck and is attempting to make a sharp turn while going full speed, it's going to take a much wider arc in order for that player to do a complete turn instead of just being able to stop on a dime and change direction. The movements feel far more lifelike this year, making cuts to the net much harder than before. This is a very welcomed addition to the franchise, as the past few titles have felt very arcade-like and seemed to be all about getting those one-on-one opportunities with the goaltender.
The controls are about what a player would expect in this generation of gaming. Skaters are controlled with the left analog stick while the right stick controls shots on offense. A quick flick of the right stick forward will give a wrist shot towards the net, while holding back on the stick and then firing forward will unleash a slapshot or simply fire the puck out of the zone that it is in. The beauty of the shot control system, however, is that a player can truly decide where to aim their shot by using the left analog stick while the shot is being attempted. Pointing towards any direction will direct the shot towards that portion of the goal, so timing is everything when attempting to score a goal. There is a bit of a learning curve with this, especially with wrist shots since everything happens quite fast and the transition between skating and aiming a shot is extremely quick. One-timers can be very hard to pull off, but the game seems to reward a player for having the patience for creativity on offense. In addition to this, many of the situations that a player would see in a hockey game have been added to improve the realism of the title itself. Fighting is a first-person point of view and adds the true extra element of the sport itself, and it is quite difficult to actually win a fight against the CPU in this mode. On top of this, subtle additions such as being up against the boards to freeze a puck will truly make a player feel that everything was included in this title.
Many of the controls on both offense and defense are easy to change over to and truly are not very complicated. Practice is going to be needed to learn how to make quick cuts, time big hits, and perform good pokechecks in order to become an all-around great player. Tutorials are built into the game itself in order to allow a beginner to practice anything that needs improvement. A perfect example for this is the tutorial on how to win a faceoff. I have found this to be one of the most difficult aspects of the game itself and, when facing the CPU, it's more of a guessing game early on as to how to time winning a faceoff if a player is using the center exclusively in Be a Pro mode or when playing as a team in regular gameplay.
An issue that I have with the in-game controls, however, is the coaching aspect when it comes to line changes, strategy, and defensive pressure. When it comes to executing these commands, there is almost always a definitive lag period in which it becomes obvious that the team has taken on these changes. Line changes are still frustrating to me, even though the game acknowledges when a change is ready to be made. Certainly, a puck has to be dumped in order for the change to take place, but even when attempting to execute the change, I felt as though I had to select the proper line more than once in order to get the change completed without any issue.
truly shines in the way of presentation. When simply picking up to play the game, the immediate surroundings of the rink are stunning and, in short, near flawless. Logos on the ice pop out on the screen and player models and motions are smooth, crisp, and very accurate when it comes to the actual players. The generic player models for Be a Pro mode are a little limited and, on top of this, it's disappointing that
EA Sports Game Face
has not been included for the
franchise yet. I expect to see it next year, though, given that
Madden 13
included it for the first time in that franchise's history.
During gameplay, players can enjoy the voices of Gary Thorne and
Bill Clement
, arguably my favorite duo in all of commentating. The commentary can be a little repetitive at times, but there is plenty of changes throughout the course of a game that gives plenty of chances for Thorne and Clement to change up their thoughts and opinions on the game itself. At no point did I feel like the words spoken were clunky or forced. It truly feels as though a player is watching the game on television rather than attempting to score a goal in a video game.
The menu system for
is very clean and easy to navigate, opting not to go with the completely new layouts of the previous sports titles of the year that
NCAA Football
went through. As is becoming a staple with many of
EA Sports'
is sporting a Hockey Ultimate Team as one of the premier game modes. Just like other titles, gamers have been pushing for more of a fantasy aspect to their sports titles and enjoying being able to use players from the past. Players will have the chance to participate in auctions, earn new packs along the way, and play against players around the world with their Ultimate Team. Participation is a must if players want to get the best players for their squads.
While the game modes in
haven't truly changed from the ground up as a whole, they have been revamped and improved upon. With sports titles making the major transition towards online play,
brings gamers exactly what they want with an online career mode called
GM Connected.
Being able to connect with up to 29 other GMs online makes for a far more interesting franchise mode, especially considering how much longer a season is for hockey. The real bit of news to include on this one is that up to 750 players can technically take part in one online league, considering that anyone can be a GM, player, or coach. One has to wonder just what the quality of play would be like in an online match that featured every player on a team being controlled by a user.
Speaking of online play, I had a chance to play a match online against one of our friends over at
, Samit Sarkar. While Samit wiped the floor with me as the Rangers pummeled the Blue Jackets, 3-0, both he and I talked about how there was little to no lag time in our match and how smooth the game truly operated even over an internet connection. While the rematch with him will probably have to wait, the most important factor here is that the online experience is a good one, though the standard suggestion of having a solid internet connection has to apply.
Be a Pro, GM, or Legend
Moving into offline modes, these three modes are almost forgotten about in the opening menu for the title itself since they are listed under "Other Game Modes." Don't be fooled by this, however. A lot of the replay value for this game will come from these three modes. Starting with the Be a Pro/Legend modes, the opening list of legends is eight names long, including the likes of Jeremy Roenick, Mario Lemieux, and the Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky. Roenick opens up as the only playable legend from the onset, making a player earn his way to unlock the other legends on the list. Just like in the standard Be a Pro mode, a player inputs the legend onto a team of his or her choice and plays as that player exclusively. The difference between the two modes is that, as expected, the legend will have a much higher rating to start out with than a regular created player. While I enjoyed the legend mode as Roenick to start out, I find it to be far more gratifying to use my own created player (Sean Cahill on the Columbus Blue Jackets sounded good at the time) throughout the career of a player. The player models, as previously mentioned, leave a little to be desired in the creation mode, but that's a minor flaw that can be forgotten considering just how good the mode itself is.
In these modes, I found myself actually watching the simulation portions of the game in between shifts. My created player was on the first line of the Blue Jackets, so he saw a lot of ice time. However, shifts in the game only last between 30-60 seconds, so when prompted to make the change and head to the bench, the view goes to that of a player actually sitting on the bench, waiting for the next change. There were times that I would go ahead and use the simulation screen to move on to the next line change, but it's nice to know that the game really doesn't suffer at all in the terms of presentation even when just watching the computer in between actually playing time. Experience points are earned throughout the course of a game, based upon grades that include Position Score, Team Play, and Statistics. The better the letter grade, the more experience points a player can expect to earn. These experience points are broken down into three categories: Offense, Defense, and Athleticism. A player can decide what is the most important to build up, so if one chooses to be a hard hitting slapshop artist, putting points into Slap Shot Power and Accuracy makes the most sense. It is fully customizable, but the experience has to be earned in order to build up a player to where he becomes a true superstar on the ice. This mode is what makes me come back to the game for more. It's a great change to the overall hockey experience and, just like the Superstar mode in
and Campus Legend mode in
, the replay value is incredibly high.
Final Thoughts
I truly believe that this is one of the best hockey titles I've played in recent memory. Only minor flaws in the new skating system really hinder the gameplay, but those are incredibly small to poke at. The beauty of the game comes in the perfect mix of online and offline modes as well as the somewhat easy ability to just pick up and play a game. I was impressed with how simple, yet deep, the GM and Pro/Legend modes were, showing that a game can give someone everything that they want without making it incredibly complicated. Add in the fact that the Hockey Ultimate Team forces a player to earn the best possible squad for online play, this title proves to be a fantastic title for the NHL franchise.

Gun Battles Erupt in Yemeni Capital
Gun battles broke out Monday between Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh's security forces and members of a key tribe aligned with the opposition.
The clashes happened in the capital, Sana'a, near the house of tribal leader Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar. Al-Ahmar in March joined the opposition movement that is demanding Saleh's immediate resignation.
The clashes come amid international pressure on Saleh to provide a peaceful transition ending his more than three decades of autocratic rule.
A council of Arab states suspended its mediation efforts on Sunday after Saleh refused to sign a deal for him to leave office.
The Gulf Cooperation Council made the decision when Saleh backed out of the deal after Yemen's opposition signed the pact on Saturday with the understanding that the president would sign it on Sunday.
It was the third time the Yemeni leader has refused to sign the deal.
The agreement offered Saleh immunity from prosecution if he transfers power to a deputy within 30 days of signing.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States is "deeply disappointed" by Saleh's refusal to sign the deal. In a statement late Sunday, she also said Saleh is turning his back on his commitments and disregarding the aspirations of the Yemeni people.
In a speech Saturday, the president denounced the U.S.-backed proposal as a "coup" and warned that his departure could allow al-Qaida to take over parts of Yemen.

The AFL-CIO launched its annual database of CEO pay Monday, showing the average 2012 pay of CEOs at companies on the Standard & Poor's 500 index was $12.3-million, or 354 times more than the average American worker earned.
The average of those S&P 500 CEOs — the 327 companies that have filed for 2012 so far — was down 5 percent from 2011. It fell, according to AFL-CIO's Executive Paywatch web site, only because Apple CEO Timothy Cook made $378 million in 2011 in a one-time payout, compared with $4.2 million in 2012. Otherwise, the rate would have been up by 5-percent.
The database lets users look up companies by ticker symbol, and includes 66 Connecticut companies with an average CEO pay of $6.3 million in 2012 or 2011, whichever year is the latest available.
That figure compares with $5.1 million, the average of all CEOs among about 1,500 in the labor coalition's database. The lowest was Chris Koliopoulos at Middlefield-based Zygo Corp., the optics and instrument maker who made $1.9 million last year.
Connecticut CEOs whose companies are on the S&P 500 index and have reported 2012 pay — 13 in all — out-earned their counterparts nationally, with an average of $13.6 million, compared with $12.3 million. The top was United Technologies Corp. CEO Louis Chênevert, at $27.6 million, followed closely by General Electric's Jeffrey Immelt, at $25.8 million. Praxair's Steven Angel pulled in $17.8 million while Aetna's Mark Bertolini and Stanley Black & Decker's John Lundgren each made a bit more than $13 million, and Cigna's David M. Cordani came in at $12.9 million.
There are countless ways to measure the pay of CEOs compared with the rest of workers, and all of them show a rising ratio in favor of the top bosses over time. AFL-CIO says the ratio was 42-to-1 in 1982, 201-to-1 in 1992 and 281-to-1 in 2002 -- but those measures used different data sources, presented in different ways.
The web site does not report that the S&P 500 index was up 13 percent in 2012, a good year. I know, I know, the CEOs also got outrageous pay when the index was down 35 percent in 2008, and of course, stock performance is not a broad measure of prosperity -- but it's important to keep it in mind.
Companies uniformly say their chiefs are paid for performance, now more than ever. That's only part of the issue even if it's true, which it isn't in all cases. What's not refutable is that the entire U.S. corporate compensation system is broken, skewed against typical workers, and CEO pay is a piece of that -- perhaps a sign, perhaps a cause, more likely both.
"Our economic system has become so rigged that no matter what happens, the rich keep getting richer and working families continue paying for it in the form of slashed jobs, wages, health benefits and retirement. From 2009 to 2011, incomes for the bottom 99% of American households fell 0.4%, while the incomes of the wealthiest 1% grew by 11.2%," Executive Paywatch said.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt was the only 9-figure earner in the AFL-CIO database, with a nice $101 million payday in 2012. Seventy-six CEOs made more than $20 million.
The AFL-CIO website slams big U.S.-based companies for "sheltering offshore profits from taxes." It cites reports showing that giant companies have as much as $1.9 trillion in hoarded cash overseas, and that just 60 companies would have to pay $455 million if they brought back their foreign cash to the United States.
The web site especially criticizes executives affiliated with the Campaign to Fix The Debt, a group that favors reforms in Social Security and Medicare.
This argumehnt by AFL-CIO is duplicitous and actually hurts the union coalition's broader cause to halt out-of-control CEO pay. The money U.S. companies make overseas is not, overwhelmingly, earned here and "sheltered" elsewhere. It's made overseas and AFL-CIO would like those companies to bring it back to headquarters. But until and unless the companies have a reason to do so, why should they incur U.S. taxes?
The CEO pay system is a lot simpler than foreign cash flow policy, and it is outrageous, so AFL-CIO is on target overall. Left largely unsaid is that there are signs of progress, as some companies -- certainly not enough -- are responding to the nonbinding shareholder votes on executive pay, which started in 2011.
Also, companies are reducing bonuses and direct cash payouts in favor of stock grants. Some companies are cutting options grants, which tie pay to stock performance, but tend to allow big payouts even if CEO's are average or below-average.
A note to avoid confusion: Executive Paywatch uses the totals as shown on Securities and Exchange Commission filings to report CEO pay. That figure includes the current or theoretical value of stocks and options granted in a given year even if the CEOs don't actually receive those benefits in the listed year. It also includes added value of retirement packages.
In news stories, The Courant lists the value of stocks and options granted and the added value of retirement packages separately, but includes in the main total the value realized from options exercised, and stocks vested. This is a clearer view of what an executive actually received.
The result, to give two examples: The Courant previously reported Chênevert's 2012 pay as $19.5 million, not $27.6 million, and Webster Financial Corp. CEO James C. Smith was reported as receiving $6.5 million in The Courant, compared with $4.97 million reported on the SEC forms. Over time, it should even out — and either picture shows excess, even for the tireless, effective executives in these two examples.

Hi everyone,
I have been fighting for a normal weight most of my life, and have tried different approaches over the years. I am new to BFL, but not to the fickled bathroom scale! Many of the forum entries express frustration with the scale, so I thought I would try to help.
Bathroom scales provide relative weight. Doctors' scales are very accurate as they use weights, not springs or other unreliable devices, to measure weight. The ones we typically buy in the store vary depending upon the weather, humidity, where they are on the floor, how you step on the scale and probably other factors. Just for fun, get on the scale, step off, step back on. The two weights are probably different (perhaps because a spring inside is stretched a little from the first time you stepped up to the plate!
Your weight can also vary from hour to hour depending upon the temperature, humidity, what you consumed, how much water you are retaining, and more. So checking a scale - even an accurate one - often doesn't tell you how much real weight/fat you have lost. Over the course of weeks, an accurate scale like the ones in doctors' offices and gyms will provide you with a pattern of weight loss, gain or maintenance.
As many BFLers have mentioned on the forum, your clothing is a better yardstick for weight loss, especially something you could barely fit in at the beginning of the program. So is a visual assessment soooo ...
Let the mirror be your best friend! And stick with the program. It is good for your health regardless of how much or how little you lose.
Mary, thank you for that information. I love your suggestion, "let the mirror be your best friend". I am also having a hard time with the scale, the one in my home. Although I have lost inches...I'm not liking what the scale has to say. Taking into consideration all the factors you list, I have a whole new outlook on my "not so friendly" scale!
I intellectually know the scale should not be my mode of measurement, but, I'm a scale guy and unfortunately I'm on it everyday. I utilize it in that if I see big fluctuations from one day to another I can look back at my log and see where/who/what/how, etc I may have messed up or self-sabotaged.
My two cents
Semper Fi,
Thank you DAG. It is good to hear that was helpful. I am a scale addict too, Brez, but I've stayed away from it. (But it's only been 9 days!) Hopefully the little gym at my tennis center will have a scale. Then I will weigh myself often just to get the positive feedback, but also, as Brez says, to give me feedback on what is working and what isn't week to week. If we could all afford a doctor's type scale, that would be great!
Greetings all, You know that Bill Phillips stated in the book that the scale is only a tool but not the rule (in so many words summed up). Better measurements can be obtained from the skin calipers (pinch test it used to be called when I was in the US Army years ago), ratios involving the waist to height on charts, and if your gym has one(or you do) the OMRON BMI and BOdy Fat handheld electronic device (got mine from GNC for CHristmas this year). As well as the mirror, to document your progress a camera or telephone photo (as so many folks have today) will also help out to judge progress. Hope this helps and Keep Moving FOrward!! PS Also do not get hooked on just BMI as many doctors and experts have stated that it does not take musclature and age into account on the charts and is NOT individualized enough to be accurate. Now if I could only get Dr OZ or THE DOctors show to do a special on this with pinch tests involved from various individuals to show this. (DR LIFE, former champion of BFL also stated it wasn't accurate enough in his book THe LIFE PLAN)

Malibu >Food & Dining > Nobu Malibu
22706 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA | Directions 9026534.039038 -118.669641
Neighborhoods: Eastern Malibu
Nobu is high energy, pretentious, exciting, expensive and a lot of fun. The dishes are unique and very well crafted and almost everything is delicious.
If you want to celebrity gawk and eat sushi simultaneously, this is your place.
Sushi or Kobe? – I don't know what I like more here!!
Both are pretty good.
Service could be faster/better
It's a hit and miss, sometimes you get the best waiter, others you get the wanna be actress who keeps staring at whatever actor is there sitting at the next table and getting every order wrong.
If all the waiters and waitresses in LA could act like they LOVE their jobs, well, then I guess they would be good actors and working as such instead of messing our orders.
Restaurant owners:
start hiring people who want to work as WAITERS, who are not as young or as good looking but they can bring you what you actually order to the table.
I could care less how they look, if our waiter has been working on his biceps or the waitress just had a touch of Botox on her forehead, or her augmented lips get to our table way before the rest of her face, if they are unable to retrieve food from the kitchen and bring it to the table in the right order to the right person his/hers good looks are not going to make me less unhappy
Back to the Sushi
It is the BEST in town!............
When and if it makes it to the table.
Great – i must say.... the sushi is pretty good! :)
Still has the arrogance without the Great Food – 6-10 review - I have been coming to Nobu in Malibu since 2001 - Always greeted by the same or similar head maitre de with the attitude of "its not the tip you give me it's who you know" [she actually said that] - What once used to be a dinner that rivaled the food served on Mt. Olympus, Nobu Malibu has gone steadily downhill over the past decade relying on name and location and celebrity prestige - Having brought our friends there for an Omikase dinner for 4 @ $150 apiece we hoped to get the best Nobu offered - Over sauced flavorless dish after dish was served with great waiter fanfare - Yes the service was good - Years ago what used to be creative with the most subtle and delicate of flavors has deteriorted to a mocking somber shadow of its former self - I was embarrassed in front of my friends with this meal since I had talked it up and relayed the past gastronomic dreams of culinary delight Nobu once produced - Of course my friends were polite and never said a word - Nor did they say "wow this food is great." Omission is as loud as commission. - The extraordinay desserts of years past were ordinary and the proof was in the great pieces left untouched by all - Sake was great - martinis were either too sweet or too dry - Nobu Malibu has slipped and slipped again down notch after notch over the years - The waiter proudly told us that they were moving to a new and bigger location after years of waiting for a permit - Judging by the empty tables on a Saturday night they might be looking at even fewer tables of customers in their new location - At over $1100 for four people we were willing to spend the money for a meal that promised a memory - Alas I have already forgotten the food yet not the overpriced experience of a once proud and quite unique resataurant.
Amazing Birthday Dinner – I can totally understand why people go there and have an average experience. Their regular sushi looked totally run-of-the-mill. We sat at the bar (which looked like it seats about 15 people total, though we were on the end with another couple), and I asked for omakase. The chef said that there are three standard levels of omakase; 99, 150, and 200. He could tell I wasn't digging the whole pre-fab idea so he said "I'll make you something special." My girlfriend explained what she liked (she'll only eat tuna and veggie dishes) and I just said I didn't want Uni. The couple sitting next to us were ordering totally average stuff that you could get anywhere, and it looked totally average. At one point my girlfriend got a roasted eggplant dish that was really good, and she said her spicy tuna roll was the best she's had anywhere.
We sat down at 6:30 and by 9 we were having dessert (a chocolate suffle with green tea ice cream on the side--really good), though we needed to take off to head over to meet some friends so we felt a bit rushed because of that at the end. A couple of highlights: freshwater eel and fois gras stacked in a bowl with a kind of semi-sweet teriyaki sauce that was insane, not too overpowering. Another item of note was kobe beef tataki with ponzu sauce that was really good. Total bill with drinks and tip: $310. Fantastic evening. Do I have a burning desire to fly back tonight and eat there again? Nah. I'd go to that place at the Santa Monica airport before I'd make a special trip to Nobu again. But still, sitting at the bar was great, especially on the end like we did as we could see everyone in there.
WORTH THE TRIP, WORTH THE MONEY – If you're a sushi novice, pick somewhere else to dine like Katsu-ya or some other Hollywood smash and grab fish place. But if you're into wild delicious flavors, high-quality product, and attentive service try Nobu Malibu. Yaman, our server, was so funny and truly made our experience unique and fun. Even people who weren't our waiters were helping us out explaining all of the dishes and getting us our food. They make every table feel like a celebrity - especially since we were sitting next to Cindy Crawford! Try the newstyle, yellowtail with jalepeno, and the ribye. And don't forget to ask for Yaman - He's the best! Great for business dinners - not so with romantic dates.
My favorite – It's frustrating to read the reviews on here with people comparing Nobu to other sushi restaurants, because the experience is not meant to be like other sushi restaurants. If you are looking for a standard sushi dinner, don't go here because you will miss out on the whole point and feel like the restaurant did not live up to your expectations. If you want to enjoy a meal at Nobu, I recommend the following: 1. sit at the sushi bar. You don't need a reservation and it's much more interactive, you get the best food and the sushi chefs are the nicest around. (unless you have more than three people, then a table is more appropriate). 2. ask your waiter and sushi chef for recommendations. There are many daily specials that are not on the menu, some of which are the best dishes they make (ie: king crab tempura, seared scallops with truffle). The waiters know what is good, and they will steer you through a meal you will love. 3. If you do make a reservation, call ahead and if they are full put yourself on the waiting list, more often than not they will call you back. 4. Be prepared to spend money. Resign yourself to it and just accept that it will run you $100-$150 a person for a great dinner. 3. Don't go for the first time on Valentine's Day. (that rule applies to ANY restaurant!) I have never had a bad meal at Nobu Malibu, the kitchen is always consistent and some of the best staff work at this location. Treat them with respect and they will do the same. Go for a good time (not to gawk at celebrities) and to enjoy some innovative cuisine that has since been copied all over Los Angeles. Go for the original.
Consistently OVER RATED: Lousy Decor, Lousy Serivce, Lousy Food - year after year VISIT after VISIT! – You know i'm a local here in Malibu and every so often I have to remind myself of why I dont bother going here.
Service? Really quite lousy.
Food? Definitely lousy.
Decor? A joke.
You have to wonder why this thing is even on the map. Honestly I cant figure out why this place is such a hot spot because the food is lousy, the decor is non-existent, and the waiters are amateur. Compare to Sage Room, T d Noi or Geoffry's. Its in some half assed parking lot, some half assed non-decor, half assed waiters half assed food. I think this place is great for people who have no appreciation of fine dining but are under the false impression of receiving it once having been here. Its a joke. Nobu is a joke. Starting from its back of the parkinglot location. A JOKE.
What's the Hype? – I love sushi. However, at Nobu's, the servings are small and overpriced. Yes, it is fresh and there are different tastes but if you are celebrity struck, then this is the restaurant to go to see and be seen. You are paying for a celebrity hangout, basically, because I was disappointed with the sushi. There are much better sushi restaurants than this one. The waitstaff were attentive, except for two. One seemed to have a bad attitude when we were seated. Also, towards the end of our dinner, my husband had gone to the restroom and I was trying to decide what to have next and a waitstaff person came up, folded my husband's napkin and asked if I was finished. Did it look like I'm was finished-when we're finished, we will ask for the check. I guess in serving celebrities, the waitstaff get certain attitudes. Maybe they need to go to Customer Service class and understand how to treat a paying customer. I'm not impressed with this restaurant and probably won't go back.
NOBU RESTAURANT, MALIBU – Our family loves sushi & have frequented many establishments for many years throughout the world, so we decide to take our daughter in law there for her birthday--there were six of us. This was our first time to Nobu. I had heard it was pricey, but good, AND IT WAS!!! Best to order in stages and eat family style--first cold dishes, soup, hot dishes, then sashimi/sushi, dessert. Black cod w/miso, yellow tail w/ jalapenos, shrimp with lobster and lemon grass all were culinary treats (signature dishes)--these specialties went beyond my expectations. Web site states not suitable for children, not accurate. If your children like Japanese cuisine good place to go because noisy which allows children to be themselves and have fun too. Food was served quickly. SO WHY FOUR STARS IF FOOD YUMMY--the waiter. He was obnoxious and patronizing treating us like we were imbeciles of Japanese food and on occasion grimaced or sighed when we asked about an item. He forgot our reorder drinks and one hot dish order as well. We ordered sea eel he brought us sea urchin. I asked when it arrived what it was--so he could acknowledge the error. Instead of apologizing and saying he would replace it with the correct item--he literally grabbed the plate--and proceeded to talk with the manager who was 2 feet from our table--consequently, we could hear everything discussed. He blamed us telling manager it was our fault, we didn't know what we were ordering. Excuse me, but sea eel is one of our favorite dishes. Okay he had to cover his error, but don't talk about patrons in front of them. We told him to cancel the order for sea eel. Since this was the end of our meal, the incident left us with a bad taste. They put the tip into the bill of 5 or more, which was probably fortunate for him--because he really was a two-bit watier. We spent over $700.00 for the six of us (no alcohol)--but the food was worth it--we will probably go again and be sure we do not have this waiter.
Great Sushi, but bring your Platinum card... – I've been to all of the incarnations of Nobu in Malibu over the years. Delicious, fresh and deceivingly complex rolls make this a Japanese restaurant you don't want to miss.
A definite standout in the small collection of Malibu eateries.

For the past couple of seasons, I've written a few columns breaking down each of the Western Conference team's top-six from the bottom-six. So for the next couple of weeks, I'll go back to the well once again and give you some insight on each of the Western Conference teams for the upcoming campaign.
(Part One)
At the end of the day, point production can easily be attributed to one thing; opportunity. A top-line player, who is the focal point of his team's offense, will generally receive every possible chance to succeed and put up big points. A top-six player will receive decent even strength/second unit power-play ice-time, but may not put up dazzling fantasy numbers. A cavalry candidate is a player who may find themselves in line for a top-six role if things fail to remain status quo (injury or poor inconsistent play, etc.) Finally, a bottom feeder will most likely receive checking line time and probably won't receive ample optimal scoring time to put up fantasy roster worthy numbers. Their big break will only come if there are injuries or sudden collapses of young players from their team's top-six.
We all like to be optimistic with our projections, but there really isn't a point in projecting 80 points for a player who won't even crack a team's top-line let alone top-six. If you haven't read my projections article from earlier this summer, go back and take a gander. I know I had an eye-opening experience when digging up all the stats. Note: Take the line combos with a grain of salt. They are just arbitrary and are used primarily to separate a team's top-six from the bottom-six. I really don't want to get into arguments about player X had chemistry with player Y therefore they'll be on a line together during the season.
Now onto the good stuff:
Colorado – Top-three cemented, plenty of room for competition between the top-six and cavalry
Top Six
Peter Mueller* – Paul Stastny – Milan Hejduk
Brandon Yip – Matt Duchene – T. J. Galiardi
Joey Hishon, Gabriel Landeskog*, Ryan O'Reilly, David Jones, and Ryan Stoa
Bottom Feeders
Joakim Lindstrom, Jay McClement, Chuck Kobasew, Cody McLeod, Kevin Porter, Mark Olver, Greg Mauldin and Daniel Winnik
After a pretty strong start to the season, the wheels fell off the Avs' bus by the end of January. The departure of Chris Stewart has left a gaping hole in the top-six for the Avs to fill, so it'll be very interesting to see who steps up to the plate to answer the bell. I temporarily placed Yip and Galiardi in that slot, but it could fall into either Hishon's or Landeskog's lap come training camp, so keep an eye on that situation. With 255 points in 214 career junior contests, there's not a lot left for Hishon to prove spending a year in Lake Erie, so consider him as a strong dark horse sleeper candidate this campaign. The latest news out of the Mueller camp is that he has been training at a pretty high level and most importantly has been symptom-free, so look for a strong bounce back season from him if he remains healthy.
The bottom feeders are all "role players", but could find themselves in brief stints in the top-six. They probably won't maintain a sustained role, so not a lot of fantasy value there.
Last year's pre-season top-six:
Mueller, Stastny, Stewart, Yip, Duchene, Hejduk.
End of year finish:
Columbus – Top-five pretty set, slim competition from cavalry
Top Six
Derick Brassard – Jeff Carter – Rick Nash
R.J. Umberger – Antoine Vermette – Ryan Johansen
Matt Calvert, Derek MacKenzie Kristian Huselius*
Bottom Feeders
Cameron Atkinson, Jared Boll, Sammy Pahlsson, Cody Bass and Derek Dorsett
Things have certainly changed in Columbus during the last 12 months. In last season's article, I was harping on and on about the depth of the forwards, but it appears to be completely opposite heading into this campaign. I can easily identify the top-five of the Jackets, but the rest of the roster spots are completely up in the air. Much like Hishon, with 161 points in 134 career junior contests, Johansen doesn't really have much to prove outside of the NHL, so I would have to assume that he will be handed a top-six gig on a silver platter. Keep an eye on Calvert as a dark horse candidate. He tallied 99 points in just 68 contests during his final season in the WHL and demonstrated plenty of high hockey IQ during his short stint in the NHL. If Scottie Arniel isn't a fan of Johansen, Calvert could have a big bust out season if slotted into a top-six role. If you haven't heard yet, Huselius has torn a pectoral muscle and is out for four-to-six months, which pegs his return time between Christmas and the trade deadline. He probably isn't worth drafting at pre-season drafts, but file his name in the back of your mind for the stretch run of the season.
If you are swinging for the fences or are in a long-term deep keeper league, keep an eye on Atkinson. He's had himself a great career at BU, but I'm not quite sure whether or not if a player has signed an entry level contract that they are eligible to return back to college? Maybe my fellow Dobberities might know the answer to that question? Either way file his name for the future. Boll, Bass and Dorsett could be the league's toughest line. The trio could very well all end up with 100 PIM seasons.
Last year's pre-season top-six:
Huselius, Umberger, Rick Nash, Vermette, Brassard, and Voracek
End of year finish:
Dallas- Top-four pretty solid, questionable top-six fillers and cavalry
Top Six
Loui Eriksson – Mike Ribeiro – Brendan Morrow
Radek Dvorak – Jamie Benn – Michael Ryder
Steve Ott, Tom Wandell and Scott Glennie
Bottom Feeders
Vernon Fiddler, Eric Goddard, Adam Burish, Krys Barch, Jake Dowell, Tomas Vincour and Toby Petersen
With the departure of Brad Richards and James Neal, the Stars top-six is starting to look pretty shaky. The top-four of Eriksson, Ribeiro, Morrow and Benn should carry most of the offense, but it'll be interesting to see what Dvorak and Ryder will contribute as secondary offensive sources. I've always been a big fan of Ott. He was a "star" back in his junior days, but hasn't really been given an opportunity in a top-six role at all in the NHL. I could foresee him garnering a top-six role by replacing Dvorak or Ryder if either falters. A lot of the hype has died down for Glennie, which is surprising, considering he still potted 91 points in his last campaign of junior eligibility. It could be a boom or bust season for those gambling on the former eighth-overall pick from 2009. Fiddler is a great option for FW, but probably won't be a strong point producer on the offensive front.
Last year's pre-season top-six:
Eriksson, Richards, Neal, Morrow, Ribeiro, and Benn
End of year finish:
Next week: the Red Wings, Oilers, and Kings.
Questions or comments? As always I'll be ready and willing to discuss them in the comments section below.

just think benn will be given a chance to work on his face-offs as the number 2 centre. ott could very well be his lw and insurance for important face-offs in the game. ott's game is in the corners and banging bodies - not puck possession and distribution. he could very well end up top 6 by default in dallas, just can't see it at centre.
Pengwin7 said:
Supposed to be the number 8... LOL.
Pengwin7 said:
Using Frozen Pools, sort by Steve Ott's last 10 games of line combos in 2010-2011:
*Crawford was giving him top 6 minutes on BOTH lines down the stretch.
To a typical eye, somebody might look at these lines and say "Oh, Ott was playing wing on the top two lines". IDK, was he? Cycle through the last 10 games of Dallas game logs and jot down the number of face-offs everybody was taking.
Game #73 vs ANA: Ott(20), B.Rich(19), Ribs(11), Benn(0)
Game #74 vs NAS: Ott(15), B.Rich(16), Ribs(20), Benn(1)
Game #75 vs PHX: Ott(15), B.Rich (9), Ribs(19), Benn(4)
Game #76 vs SJ: Ott(17), B.Rich(15), Ribs(11), Benn(1)
Game #77 vs LA: Ott(19), B.Rich(17), Ribs(11), Benn(1)
Game #78 vs ANA: Ott(22), B.Rich (, Ribs(15), Benn(2)
Game #79 vs CBJ: Ott(19), B.Rich (6), Ribs (5), Benn(1) (***WOW***)
Game #80 vs COL: Ott(20), B.Rich(13), Ribs (, Benn(1)
Game #81 vs COL: Ott(13), B.Rich (9), Ribs(10), Benn(0)
Game #82 vs MIN: Ott(12), B.Rich(17), Ribs (5), Benn(0)
Maybe the new Dallas coach tries something different... but Ott was definitely seen as the #1 face-off guy down the stretch. If he plays top 6, he'd be wasted at any position other than C.
Ryan Ma said:
I think you're onto something Pengwin regarding the FW%, but the problem for me is his overall style of play. C's tend to play more of a puck possession/controlling the play type of game, but I don't know if Ott is that type of a finesse player. Benn IMO is. Everytime he has puck possession, he seems to do something with the puck to generate some sort of offense.
If Ott ends up playing C, I think he ends up in a role much like what Fiddler did with the Coyotes last season as a third-line FW specialist, but then again that's probably why they brought in Fiddler in the first place, which kinda leaves Ott only winger eligible really...
tGr said:
when richards went down for 10 games last year,
-morrow stayed with ribeiro and ott joined them.
-benn played with eriksson.
i think ryder will be given a spot alongside ribeiro as they have a history playing together from their days in montreal.
SeaDawg said:
tGr said:
Top line will be:
Morrow - Ribeiro - Ryder
Benn will play with Eriksson on the second line - maybe with Ott on the left side. Dallas wants Benn to replace Richards as the team's number one centre and they will give him the opportunity to see if he can handle the job.
Pengwin7 said:
Ott took 1138 faceoffs last year, winning them at a rate of 56.6%.
Benn took 195 faceoffs last year, winning them at a rate of 43.3%.
Many people are overlooking the fact that Ott is now a center.
He took 172 faceoffs in 2008-2009.
Then took 352 faceoffs in 2009-2010. (@ 56.8%)
And now 1138 faceoffs in 2010-2011. (@ 56.6%)
I tend to believe that if a coach has a chance to bring a young player along as a winger, he'll try that first... less defensive responsibility.
SeaDawg said:
Even long-term I'm not convinced Hishon is a top sixer. I see him more as a 3rd line, penalty killer-type with a good offensive instinct to chip in with some secondary scoring. I just don't see him as a solid top 6er.
Ryan Ma said:
Completely agree SeaDawg! It's completely a toss up, which kinda shows just how unpredictable the situation in COL is.
The problem with those three (Yip, Galiardi, and Jones) is their inconsistency. You'll see 2-3 maybe even 4-5 games where they go point-per-game when lining up alongside Stastny or Duchene, then go ice-cold with goose eggs in the next 3-4. They lose their spot and their fantasy value is shot. It becomes a roulette situation where everyone just has a turn at the wheel, so the overall production is pretty much leveled off.
I honestly think Hishon could come in, play a consistent game and end up securing a top-six spot kinda how Wolski did back in the 2009 season, and end up having a great rookie campaign.
But then again the same could happen to Yip, Jones, or Galiardi as well.
Ryan Ma said:
Definitely I think he's probably the most NHL ready in terms of the 2011 draft class. The downside for me is he's drawn a lot of comparisons to Mike Richards in terms of style of play. Those physical bang em up players tend to bloom a little bit later than true finesse players like Hall, Kane, Crosby, Toews, Malkin... During his rookie season Richards notched 34 points, so I kinda expect something similar for Landeskog. He's able to dominate young smaller junior players, but playing against men there's going to be a tougher adjustment period, which is why I kinda gave the proven players like Galiardi, Yip, Jones a leg up because they'll probably have better one-year fantasy production than Landeskog.
Great long-term potential, but I'd be wary in one-year leagues.
SeaDawg said:
I tend to agree with most of it, but I think David Jones has a top 6 spot to lose for Colorado. I think he is a bit underrated, but he has a great scoring touch and could be a 30 goal threat if he lines up with either Duchene or Stastny.
