This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
Looks like this last one was a DNA swab from inside the cheeks taken at the Russian OT.
Those results didn:t compare with the earlier ones taken last season in april-may and august-september on the seven athletes.
Valentina Vasilyevichs learned of the IAAF suspicions in june. The IAAF had made queries about the seven athletes in question last season, but didn:t act on their suspicions until june - nine months after the second series of tests were performed. This is one area of concern for the Russian execs, as they wondered what took so long for the IAAF to analyse. Vasilyevichs turned to the IAAF on the eve of the Russian Championships and asked what should be done now that the IAAF had alerted the Russian federation. Nothing was done at that moment, and Vasilyevichs states he wanted to get more information from the IAAF for the case, and nothing was done. He wanted to know if the seven athletes should (or not) be permitted to compete. The Russians did remove one athlete from competition due to a positive "A"-test, though no elaboration is provided as to which one.
The IAAF responded to Vasilyevich that there were no foundations for either them or the Russian federation to remove any of the athletes at that moment - nine months after the second sample was collected. Each of the athletes in question appeared in Kazan and five of them were selected into the Olympics.
The following day, after the end of the Russia Olympic Trials (21-july), smear tests from inside of each of the seven athletes cheeks were volontarily taken without coercion - a fact Vasilyevich stated was an evidence of the atheltes innocence (why volonteer for something which would ultimately bust them?).
The testers reported to Vasilyevich that the tests demonstrated that the true DNA of each of the seven athletes did not correspond to the tests from 2007-april and 2007-may.
Vasilyevich questions why a test on DNA takes so long to complete ("six to eight months?") He shed a bit of humour on the issue and asks, "Has the idea to compare tests become alien to someone in IAAF relatively recently?"
Among other things Vasilyevich points out and discusses, he was most interested in why the IAAF removed the seven athletes instead of disqualifying them all-together. He states the implication of a disqualification is a direct link to CAS, something they are not afforded with a removal. The removal is a sign of suspicision; the disqualification would have been an evidence of guilt.
I'm pretty sure that "Vasilyevich" is a patronymic, not a last name – i.e. Valentin Vasilyevich (son of Vasily) Balakhnichev.
I'm at work now and don't have time to do a real translation – and gh wouldn't let me post it here anyway, due to copyright issues. But here's the original Russian interview: http://www.allsport.ru/index.php?id=16645
And here are links to a pair of automatic translations. If you view them side-by-side, you can get a pretty good idea about what was really said.
Babel Fish translation: here
Google translation: here
One quick excerpt though:
So evidently this is a "trial balloon" in some sense.
I'm not sure what he means by this. IAAF could only do a DNA comparison with stored samples once they had the athletes actual DNA sample, i.e. the cheek swabs collected at their OT's. So these tests did not take 6-8 months to complete.
Would they have any grounds to refuse a cheek swab ? Besides which, I am not sure athletes would immediately understand the exact implications of the test. If you have to give blood and urine, even if you were cheating would you jump straight to the conclusion that it would be detectable from a swab.
There is reference to one athlete being pulled from competition for a positive A sample. Can I ask again whether Yegorova actually ran in Kazan or could she be the +ve which would also make sense as the early reports did not mention her. I am intrigued to find out what was found in the athlete who has tested +ve.
Yegorova won her heat of the 1500m, but didn't run the final.
It might not even need that. A local who is a high-up USA Triathlon official described to me being rather starstruck by athletes she was given charge of to follow through to doping control in Kona a few years ago. She sounded like she would have done anything for them.
I don't think it's a bad day for track any more than it was a bad day for Congress on Tuesday when Ted Stevens got hit with indictments. Both groups are susceptible to corruption and every so often the garbage gets taken out. Same way this time too: not the crime but the hiding.
By the way, I was convinced in February that Soboleva was on something, because running 1:56.49i and 3:58.05i on back-to-back days was too good to be true, like an unending housing market boom. When I saw the Kazan results I literally said out loud "whatever the Russians are on, it's very good".
"This is pure politics," Sergei Vasilyev, the coach of the suspended athletes, said by telephone. "If these athletes, who are the main contenders for gold medals, are forced out of the games, the new favorites will automatically be the Chinese."
Really, now??
Is he spinning this one right out of control?
The reactions are written in pure Soviet style: Deny everything and accuse the critics as enemies of the state.
I think the fact that a) Russia has obviously an organized doping system for their women and b) the officials are equally obviously not interested in ending that, should result in banning Russia from the next WC until they are willing to play according to rules.
Their female throws are essentially all rotten (SP gold in Athens, three hammer throwers including Lysenko, two discus throwers) and their pool of middle distance runners is being depleted now, too.
I agree with the Russians. This smacks of politics given the timing. The Russians ought to make life difficult for the IAAF.
Well don't tell my boss, but most of the things I've had to deal with today have been simple maintenance issues, so I "found the time" to do a full translation after all.
I know that gh doesn't want me posting full translations of copyrighted material here, but the senior editors at AllSport.ru know about my translations, since I send them copies via email, and they usually - but not always - post them to the "AllSport in English" section of their website. I'll be sending this one off to Andrey & Yevgeny shortly (I've always corresponded with them entirely in Russian, and it takes me much longer to compose original material in Russian than to translate someone elses writing from Russian to English), but I'm going to provide a link to a "domestic" copy here, since it's the middle of the night now in Moscow, and sometimes it takes a few days for them to act when I send them something. If gh really objects, he can always excise the link, and if Becca objects, she can pull it from her site too. But until one of them does, you can access it here:
http://www.polevaultpower.com/forum/vie ... 32&t=15791
If Balco didn't get us kicked out, should this do it for them?
What would be the political motivation for something like this? Why risk annoying the no. 2 athletics nation and hosts of the 2013 WCs? It's not in the interests of the IAAF to offend them. Realpolitik decrees they'd have to be pretty sure of their facts/pissed off before they acted on something like this.
If this becomes an even bigger stink expect reprisals.
I'm a ME, not an EE. But, give me a few minutes...I'll see if I can decipher it based on my early EE training
I've seen the hatred on this board for East Europeans, particularly coming from posters in 2 countries (mine not included). Don't think that hatred for the US seen in many quarters isn't also directed at the East Europeans, Russia in particular. This is a georacialpolitical world we live in, and it permeats everything. Anyone who thinks differently has their head in the sand.

Then on the other hand, I wouldn't be too surprised if some Chinese showed rather exceptional, sudden improvement at the Games. Having talked with a few guys here and there who have been on the circuit, they were of the opinion that politics is involved in some cases of enforcement and/or non-enforcement, with certain countries let off the hook and others generally having to take a body shot when caught. They felt that, yikes, US sprinters "might' be catching breaks here and there, and a percentage of E. Africans also, along with runners from smaller countries being let slide rather than the larger ones (mainly European) that you would expect to have influence and thus be able to skate when it comes to testing. If these guys were right, then it isn't only about money. I'm not behind the scenes, so who knows? Maybe Scully and Mulder should look into it.
I wasn't at all implying that I think the Russian team should be banned. I was just asking the question of where the tipping point for such an action against any country would be.
If we assume a political motivation, it need not be on the
international level. It could well be more of an IAAF internal thing.
It is not uncommon for organisations (including governments,
companies, and sport organisations) or the people on top of the
organisations to handle matters so as to get ``their way'' done,
putting fairness and similar concepts aside.
In this case, it is conceivable that a decision was made to have the,
presumably, guilty russians excluded from the OG, no matter what. (Yes,
similar childish sounding decisions are not uncommon.) According to
one article, a protest by the russians has to be treated within two
months; thus, the timing was chosen so this could be done after the
games---without violating the rules. (Many other explanations and
combinations are possible.)
Consider similarly the discussions around this years FOT, the scandals
and allegations around the volley ball equivalent of the IAAF (I do not
rembember its name), or the absurd behaviour of the swedish wrestling
federation concerning Ida-Theres Karlsson.
Now, I am _not_ saying that there is anything similar going on. I am
just pointing to the importance of _internal_ politics, as a
potentially greater source of ``odd behaviour'' than global politics.
I tend to agree with you on this one, Imaginative. This could very well be a case of political-correctness within the upper echelon of the IAAF biased against the Russians; i.e., the desire to prevent them from spoiling the chances of the upstart African women. It stinks to high heaven in my book.
We know all problems cycling is facing, in weightlifting all athletes qualified from Bulgaria to OG were banned and now this with several russian athletes.
I mentioned doping is a WorldWide problem and unfortunately I start to believe that any outstanding performance from anyone has an high probability of being "dirty".
I may be wrong, but I don't believe the Bulgairan team were banned per se....11 or 12 athletes failed doping tests and as a result, the Bulgarian federation decided to keep the entire team out of the olympics?!
The Bulgarian fed seemed disgusted and were apologetic, a similar stance would be nice from the Russians. Ultimately, 7 (that we know of) athletes tampered with their tests and their automatic response involves blame as opposed to shame?
Similarly, the Greeks, the fathers of the Olympic games think it''s fine to send Thanou (who only had the B standard, thus there was no real pressure) despite the fact that she is a national, and world wide disgrace? You'd think, somewhere, somebody from these nations would understand damage control and try to protect their other athletes by condeming the cheats...otherwise they ALL get tarnished with the same brush.
This is of course a very interesting scenario and shows that some of the initiatives that were discussed at the 2006 IAAF Anti Doping Congress held in Lausanne, are coming to fruition.
It was said at the time in Lausanne, that the IAAF intended to use much more intelligence based approach to its Anti Doping strategy in order to try to protect clean athletes. What this meant among other things, was that they were targetting "known" or "suspected" trouble spots, countries and athletes, with more out of competition controls and perhaps with more frequency. As an example, following the issues with some of the Hungarian Throwers in Athens, they were carrying out more OOC tests on Hungarian throwers, and some countries suspected of EPO use or Blood Doping also came under heavy scrutiny ( and it could be said that some traditional strong Middle Distance countries have not been so strong in the last 18 months...).
The were also encouraging athletes and coaches with suspicions to come forward, and they would look at these concerns and perhaps carry out more OOC tests in these areas. ALso counties without a recognised OOC Testing programme were also focussed on, as can be seen in the overview of the 3000+ tests thatthe IAAF carried out in 2007, as countries such as Jamaica and even Russia, had their major athletes tested more frequently than the athletes from say USA and UK, where a more extensive OOC testing programme is in effect.
The other major new area of investigation that they discussed at this conference was the use of information gathered from previous tests as an indication of doping infringements, rather than the result form just one sample. For example, while all tests conducted at an accredited lab are carried out anonymously, they wanted to introduce a system where previous test results from the same athlete could be used to look for anomilies. If a test for a particular athlete showed a Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio of greater than 4:1 (indication of positive test), or perhaps only 2:1, but previous tests had never been greater than 1:1, then this was in itself evidence of doping, and so would result in a positive test.
Similarly, they may conduct a carbon isotope assay on a sample that showed less than 4:1 ratio, but indicated the presence of exogenous testosterone, and therefore result in a positive test. In the past, this secondary testing was very rarely used, but is now being used as a matter of course, and therfore can show eveidence of doping even though the Test:Epi ratio did not give a positive indication.
DNA can be obtained from a number of sources, and can be used to ensure that a particular sample actually came from the person that is was meant to have come from. Going back to the Katrin Krabbe tests, the training partners were not banned for testing positive sample, but rather for manipulation of the testing procedure, when it was discovered that the three (I believe) athletes urine samples that were taken in South Africa, were shown to come from one and the same person, and so could not have come from (at least two) of the athletes in question. They had provided clean samples that had come from someone that was not using drugs, and they had presumably catheterised themselves and introduced that clean urine into their own bladders, or used a vessel to hold the clean urine, so that they would give the impression of providing a sample to the doping officers, when in fact it was not their own urine. This is exactly why UNANNOUNCED OUT OF COMPETITION TESTING is so important to catch cheaters....
I would suggest that in this case, the IAAF had some questions about the authenticity in some of the samples obtained last year (2007) on a number of athletes, and started to compare samples from different dates from the same athletes, and perhaps to compare DNA in each sample to ensure that they were coming from the same person. If there were any anomalies, then these would have to be investigated further and perhaps more tests were compared for these same athletes. If the DNA in two or more tests from (supposedly) the same person was shown to be different, then there were certainly questions to be answered, and I would suggest that this was when the Rissian Federation was informed in June.
A this is a new anti doping practice, then the testing merthodology would have to be proved, double checked and validated by independent scientists before the IAAF could move forward from a legal perspective and try to use this as a demonstration of Doping. Remember that Tim Montgomery never actually failed a test, but was banned upon the testimony of others, that proved to a satisfactory degee to CAS that a Doping Infraction had taken place, and Montgomery banned.
With the science proven and the IAAF / WADA ./ CAS Lawyers happy that it would stand up in court, then the next natural step was to obtain another sample, and certain DNA sample from the Athletes in question, andthe Russian Championships would be the ideal location as they should all be there, so Gabrielle Dolle was dispatched to get the definitive DNA samples. Once these were checked against the questionable tests from 2007, and discrepancies would give clear indication of manipulation of the Anti Doping procedures, and allow for the athletes in question to be suspended imediately.
I think that the timing is good...the Russian Champs were late, just before the cut-off date for Olympic Entries, and after the IOC Testing protocol comes into effect. I am sure that the Russians would have entered a fourth (reserve) athlete where available, so these reserves could appear in Beijing, but inthe 800/1500m this may be more of a problem as a number of athletes are effected, and only one reserve per event would be entered.
I am glad that some of these initiatives seem to be working now.
Sorry for the long post...
But unless Balakhnichev is flat-out lying, Gabrielle Dolle didn't go to the Russian championships in Kazan to collect the DNA samples. He went to Moscow, about 400 miles (644 km) away from Kazan. I suspect that he could've found six out of seven in Moscow almost anytime.
I kind of doubt that these gals are innocent victims, but the timing on this is clearly intended to keep 'em out of Beijing without a hearing of any sort. So while we're gonna have to wait and see if the science will really stand up in court, the punishment has already been imposed. And I can't say that I'm very comfortable with the judge-jury-executioner combination involved here.
Power of media. Things are not seen the same by all people. We all saw Thanou and Kederis as the bad guys. That was the way the world media portrayed, besides it made a great story. Many Greeks have had drummed into them and read a hundred times that the athletes never failed a test, that t was all a misunderstanding etc. Much the same way other countries may judge the role of Linford Christie or the return to the team of Christine Ohourugu and Mark Richardson, they may never have had full information. People support Thanou in Greece and it would be a harsh reality for the public if she were dumped by the federation.
Besides I wouldn't treat Thanou any harsher than Blonska, Cherry etc, they all brought out sport into disrepute.
Whatever surreptitious affairs may be concealed in this case, all I can say at this point is thank God for Pamela Jelimo, Tirunesh Dibaba and Meserat Defar. They ought to be able to deal with any Chi-bots that pop up out of holes in the track. Hey, there's a video game concept to market in Africa.....
Well, nationalism is a problem. Even I would probably be less inclined to
give a foreigner a second chance than a countryman. However, when
comparing different athletes, their demeanor should be considered:
Thanou, Kenteris, and Jones behaved outrageously, others stepped up
and took their punishment as adults. Blonska seems to have been more
of an adult (to my limited knowledge---possibly, her surrounding
behaviour was simply too invisible in the press). Correspondingly, I
would be more inclined to allow Blonska a second chance than Thanou.
(Notwithstanding that I would have been more at ease, had Blonska's
post-suspension results been weaker.)
I only have a question:
Since the female urine or swab testers are looking at the female athlete when they collect the sample how is it possible for the athlete to alter the sample???????
From what I heard they are literary looking at the genitalia when the athlete is peeing in the bottle. Or am I wrong??????
How would it be possible for a female to run with a "bag of clean urine" inside her??? or to have it inside all the time to be ready for out of competition doping tests?
" Hei Sergey wait a second before going to the Cinema tonight, let me put that clean human urine inside of me, you never know........"
No bag is needed as the bladder is the receptacle for the clean urine. Normally you cauterize a bladder to allow urine to come out but it can be reversed too. I assume the strategy is to fill up with clean urine if there is any chance of being tested. Certainly before a race.
With regard to out of competition testing I'm not sure how they do it. How long would they need to fill up the bladder? Possibly they get prior warning of out of competition testing?

Unless they've changed the rules, world weighlifting federation bans any country from international weightlifting comps if the country has had three positives in a year.
Medvedev just made a speech yesterday about ending corruption... police corruption, that is. I believe he only has one speech per year of this kind (he:s new in office), so he:ll have to pull another angle with athletics.

Eight cooler events that could replace the Grand Prix

I'm sad that it wont be shown in theatres in the UK but I certainly look forward to buying the Blu Ray
As far as i know EOT is only being shown in the USA.........but hopefuly it will be shown worldwide for all Elvis fans to enjoy.
Clays Elvis Collectionhttp://picasaweb.google.com/elvis.pr...cords.universeCollecting Elvis records from all over the world
Surprisingly it will be shown close to my town, only an hour or so away and look forward to it.
Never in my life thought I would have the chance to see Elvis on the big screen in a movie theatre I'm really excited.!
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
I saw many of Elvis's films in the theaters and at drive ins. The indoor theater has such power just from the sheer size of the screen and volume of the sound systems.
Elvis on Tour in the theater was as close as you could get to a live performance without really seeing him in person.
I saw both TTWII and EOT in theaters-and it just blew me away.
Work in Progress!
I got my ticket and I can't wait to see it. It will be my first time seeing Elvis on the big screen.

"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
Just got back from watching Toy Story 3, and our little theater had the poster for "Elvis on Tour" up and I went ahead and got my ticket! I had considered
asking for the poster but it didn't look like Elvis, IMO. The trailer mentioned the "never been seen footage", it looked like footage from the Ed Sullivan
show - which I own.
I also pre-ordered my DVD copy, just ticked that it won't come with a book like the Blu-Ray. I'm still focusing on DVDs not Blu-Rays, I know something will
replace Blu-Ray and I'll need to buy those
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
The unseen footage is supposed to be from the EOT vaults. Maybe Richmond? That would be sweet since we've never had a full performance from that concert.
The official word on outtakes and unused footage was that Turner and Warners could not come to terms on any new outtakes being used on the DVD-so how could they have some for the theaters.........unless.......its the Lost Performances VHS release EOT footage which Warners already has in its hands. I have heard nothing new on any deal between Turner and Warners for any absolutely new footage?
Work in Progress!
Its being shown 8 blocks from my house!
The lady and I are def going to see this!!!!!!!
I'm getting my jumpsuit ready!
JK about that part. LOL

According to fans who have already got a copy of the new DVD of 'On Tour' the opening sequence where Elvis sings 'Johnny B. Goode' has been retained BUT the sound has been removed and replaced with 'Don't Be Cruel' due to copyright problems. To add insult to injury the same track is played later in the film.
They could have at least used something like 'Polk Salad Annie' to get immediate interest raised. This means that the release was wrongly advertised as 'the original film which won a Golden Globe Award'. Well this version did not. A big thumbs down for Warner Brothers.

I was going to mention that very thing. When I read that over at the "other" board, it made me very mad! Heck, the opening credits with Elvis singing "Johnny B. Goode" is what tells you that this is gonna be one absolutely rocking movie!!

Perhaps in years to come, when we have long gone, Elvis' then record/film company will ask fans what should go into a new release - and pigs might fly!!

Me and my Dad are going!
I just bought the tickets online!
This will be my first time seeing Elvis on the big screen.
Also, my Dad got to see Elvis in concert in 1971, so he is very excited too.
Elvis is The King!

Third is the "sittin' around the house talkin' with friends" song. It's a rambling series of whistles, squeaks, crackles and buzzes - everyone talks at once - a delight to hear.

Peyton Manning, the star quarterback of the Denver Broncos, will be the featured speaker at UVa.'s Valedictory Exercises in May.
Students made the announcement during halftime of the UVa-Ball State football game on Saturday.
"I was so excited. I was crying tears of happiness," said Carlin Tettelbach, a member of the Graduation Committee. "He was our No. 1 and the only letter we sent out was to him, and he accepted."
The four-time NFL most valuable player will speak at the Valedictory Exercises, the ceremony where the Class of 2014 celebrates its time at the university.
"We think that he'll be perfect because he'll just help us celebrate our time and just be really excited about what's coming after graduation," said Sarah Salinas, the chair of the Graduation Committee.
Manning does have a personal connection to UVa. His wife, Ashley, is a 1997 graduate of the McIntire School of Commerce.
Valedictory Exercises are held on the day before Final Exercises. It's scheduled on the UVa. Lawn for May 17.

Ugh, I lost the big long reply I just typed up before I could copy it, so I'm going to quickly rehash one point and deal with the rest later.
I've been unclear again (my fault entirely). What I mean is that when I respond to a forum post, it is the opinions and arguments in the post that I address in my reply, and not the person who made them. It is irrelevant to me who made what post, and I often find it tedious to reply individually to people's points, particularly when they are not personal opinions held solely by that individual and generally constitute the opinion of a larger group. Likewise, anyone else is perfectly welcome to respond to any of my points made in regard to anyone else's points in a previous reply. I really don't care. As long as the argument is about the argument and not about the person making it, it doesn't matter who is making it. What this means is that I will often address several people's points in one amalgamated entry, ignoring who made what point and when, and not particularly addressing any of the people who made them. Anyone is free to respond to any of these points. They aren't directed at anyone in particular. I personally don't feel that addressing someone in particular is necessary, especially on an open forum where everyone is invited to participate. Personal addresses (this applies to both specifically using someone's name and merely alluding to someone) should be made when the issue discussed is specifically personal, and at no other time. We can avoid a lot of animosity, particularly in heated debate, this way.

OM Spirits Debuts in Northern California at Mollie Stones and SFO
-- Organic Mixology brings the eco-friendly prepared-to-pour cocktails to local market. --
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 30, 2013
-- After a great launch success in the Southern California market, OM spirits heads North to bring their certified organic, sustainable ready-to-pour cocktails to the Bay area.
Crafted by mixology consultant Natalie Bovis in 2012, the spirits use lush, exotic, and extraordinary ingredient combinations. Each designed with a brilliant flavor profile and an eye toward sustainability in home entertaining. Additionally, all of OM's packaging is eco-friendly. From the specially designed light-weight bottle to the labels that are printed at a wind-powered printing facility, with 75% post-consumer recycled content shipping cases and a tree planted for every bottle sold, OM is truly the most enlightened cocktail on the planet!
"We are excited to bring OM to the Bay Area, especially the San Francisco market. The city speaks to us from a mixology and health perspective and we believe OM Spirits will be a welcomed addition to the industry," said OM founder Jason Monkarsh.
OM meets growing demand in the market: Already-prepared cocktails made with premium, organic ingredients. While in the midst of writing Edible Cocktails, a garden-to-glass cocktail book, Bovis (a.k.a. The Liquid Muse) developed the original organic cocktail recipes behind OM, the first of its kind USDA certified organic, high-quality 30 proof vodka cocktails. With all-natural, organic sweeteners, OM also refrains from adding preservatives and artificial flavors or coloring.
"I love bringing an organic, eco-friendly approach to quality mixology, and the focus of my cocktail books, consulting, and media appearances is making those concepts accessible to the everyday consumer. Now customers can get all of that in one bottle," says Bovis.
With more flavors soon to be released, OM's debut Wild Cranberry & Blood Orange blend is now available at Mollie Stones stores in Northern California, Select Wine & Spirits in Sacramento, as well as at the Virgin Atlantic upper class lounge at SFO. OM is also available at Whole Foods and Gelson's stores in Southern California, which include: Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Experience OM, earth-friendly party tips, and all things mixology at omcocktails.com or get social on Facebook.
About OM Cocktails
Created by entrepreneur Jason Monkarsh, who was in search of a premium, organic, cocktail that could bring fine bottled mixology anywhere, Monkarsh teamed up with mixologist Natalie Bovis, The Liquid Muse, who developed OM to be USDA certified organic and thoughtfully prepared. Only 150 calories, OM cocktails are crafted with organic American grain vodka and blended with organic agave nectar and natural fruit & vegetable colorings. With specially designed light-weight bottles and recycled shipping cases, for each bottle of OM sold, a tree will be planted through a partnership with Trees for the Future. Flavors including Coconut Water & Lychee, Meyer Lemon & Ginger, Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt are soon to be released, with Wild Cranberry & Blood Orange currently available at Mollie Stones in Northern California, and Whole Foods and Gelson's Supermarket in Southern California, and Online at Wally's and Vendome spirits.

University-owned apps are apps developed by university faculty, staff and other employees and contractors, with an intended distribution by Oakland University. If you are considering developing a mobile app for Oakland University audiences or for distribution by Oakland University, please contact the CIO Theresa Rowe at firstname.lastname@example.com.
App (applications intended for mobile devices) and mobile development require adherence to Oakland University style and identity guidelines, licensing, and distribution requirements. Faculty, staff, student employees and contractors need to work closely with UTS when developing apps for use in the university environment.
Mobile web sites are often easier to develop and distribute, particularly when login authentication is not required for the web site. Mobile web sites should be developed with Communications and Marketing.
Licensing and Distribution
There are licensing and distribution requirements that must be observed.
Anyone who develops apps independently of the university must follow the licensing and distribution requirements found on the site specific to your mobile device. Also, developers must adhere to license requirements for any third-party APIs or modules that are imbedded in the app.
To distribute official University apps on the iTunes App Store, there is one Oakland University license that is administered centrally by University Technology Services. Please review Apple information on the Software site.
When creating apps for Oakland University, please apply usability guidelines. The following resources may be useful:
When the developer is ready for UTS to review, please arrange to send source code by contacting Theresa Rowe at firstname.lastname@example.com. Preferred development environments XCode or Android SDK. Any other development environment may result in significant project delays in distributing the solution.
Oakland University's mobile app puts important information at your fingertip. Access your class schedule, grades, and even register for classes in this mobile version of MySAIL, OU's portal. Keep up with campus life with the events calendar, OU News feed, interactive map, weather, and more.

TOO big, too fast, too strong ... and that was just Mark Wade.
Throw in the bone-rattling defence of Dan Kevill, Cal McDonald's strike power, the guile and experience of Sean Rudder, the work at the breakdown by Adam Nolan, Ed Macdonald's lineout prowess, the bullet-like service of Gareth Ernst and Mick Gill's hunger.
Merewether may not be the force that swept to a history-making undefeated premiership last season, but the Greens have their swagger back.
In an ominous sign, Merewether powered past arch enemies Wanderers 39-12 at No.2 Sportsground on Saturday.
The Two Blues were in the match at half-time, trailing 10-5.
But when push came to shove, it was the visitors who rolled up their sleeves.
Aiden Kelso and Ernst crossed for tries as Merewether piled on 17 unanswered points to take control at 27-5.
Wanderers hit back with a converted try to Paul Mlotkowski and had another pulled back for obstruction which would have made it 27-17 with 10 minutes remaining.
The mini-revival sparked the Greens back into action. Wade ran 40metres for his second try and Kevill touched down on the bell to blow the score out.
''We thought if we could play the corners – our scrum and lineouts were good – we were pretty confident with the lead at half-time that we could bring it home,'' Merewether co-coach Dennis Shaw said.
The win was Nolan's first game back since hurting his shoulder in the 20-3 triumph over the Two Blues in the first round. Five-eighth Sam Bright also returned after a long spell out with a broken hand.
Their inclusion added to that in recent weeks of Wade (Knights), Rudder (hamstring) and Cal McDonald (NSW Country). Sam Clifton (pectoral) is due back in four weeks.
''We are starting to look good and really happy with where we are headed,'' Shaw said. ''We are confident now, like we were last year, that if we can hold on to the ball for long periods that we are going to hurt sides.
''The early part of the season we didn't have a Wade, a Cal McDonald, Ruddsy – people who can hurt you.
''At times this year we had five or six players who were eligible for colts in the side. Now we have one, Billy Dunn.''
The loss was Wanderers' third in a row.
''Merewether played well,'' Wanderers coach Ellis Meachen said.
''They executed the game plan, they played the corners, they built pressure and were patient.''
Adding to their woes is a long string of injuries. Corey Te Koeti suffered a head knock, Marcus Simpson dislocated his shoulder, Ben Christensen has compressed nerves in his back and NSW Country prop Damien Winter, who was a standout, picked up a wrist problem.
''Losing your prop and openside breakaway inside 30minutes doesn't help but we can't keep coming up with excuses,'' Meachen said.
''At the end of the day we missed tackles, and people made poor decisions in attack.''

You probably have both of these kinds of people in your life. The ones that complain about everything, and the ones that seem to find the bright side in every circumstance.
A friend of mine said his new years resolution is to "speak life and possibility" into people's lives. I love that. I think it starts at home.
Every night as a part of the bedtime routine with the kids I tell them what I am "most proud of them for" that day. Maybe it's playing nicely with their siblings, or helping Mommy put away the groceries.
For as much time as they spend in Time Out, they need me to tell them what they are good at too.
I think, once we speak life and possibility into the lives of our children, they speak it into the lives of their friends, and the lives of their children, and their Grandchildren.
If you're searching for significance in your life, there it is right there. It's not about making a million dollars so you can give 10 percent of it away. It's about speaking life and possibility into the lives of the people that God puts in your path. You're his Good Will Ambassador at school, at work, in your car.
If you really want to change the way the world sees God, then more people hear the words, "I believe in you." instead of "You're not good enough."

I applied through an employee referral and the process took 5 weeks - interviewed at Paycom in April 2014.
Interview Details A 5 round interview process. Two managers, one regional manager, and one CSO. 3 were in person and two of the interviews were via web chat. Each interview had its own questions ranging from background to how you would be great in sales. The interview process taught me a lot.
Interview Question – How are you better then the last candidate that we just hired right out of college? Answer Question

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Paycom.
Interview Details Very impressive process that revealed they make sure they have the right fit before extending an offer. Started the process with a recruiter who screened me thoroughly before setting up a phone screen with the local sales manager. After passing, I met the sales manager for an in-person interview, and afterward met the rest of the team in the office. The next interview was with the regional VP of Sales who was young but sharp as a tack. After passing that stage I was invited to a "phone canvassing" session which basically is a try-out to see if you have what it takes to cut it. This also provides you with an opportunity to determine for yourself whether or not this is the job for you. The goal is setting 3 appointments within a 5 hour period. If you pass the phone canvassing session you then meet with the CSO for a final screen. If this goes well, you'll most likely get an offer.
Interview Question – The phone canvassing session was one of the most incredible interview experiences ever. It made the job palpable in ways that talking over a resume never could be possible. It took me a while to get my first appointment, but I remained calm and was able to hit them. Answer Question

I applied online and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Paycom in April 2013.
Interview Details Interview process is extremely thorough, but well worth it for the caliber of job duties and people you'll be working around. Paycom hires some outstanding individuals and they have the ability to do so because the rewards are great. There were approximately 6 steps in the process: An initial phone screen with a recruiter, an interview with the hiring manager, a second interview with a regional manager, a ride-along with your potential team, a phone-canvassing session in which you must demonstrate that you can successfully set three appointments, and then a final interview with a C-Level exec.
The process is very intense, and you may move forward in the process to the next level in the same day if you do well. Overall the process moves very quickly. The recruiter I had, Kathryn, was amazing, and did an excellent job of preparing me for each and every step.
Overall this was a great interview process!
Interview Question – I came in under an unusual career change for this position, so my most difficult questions came out of how I might have prepared myself for the position, having not come from a sales background. Be ready for this. They want to make sure you have prepared well in your time leading up to the possibility of stepping into a very challenging position. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and interviewed at Paycom.
Interview Details There is enough information online to get a good understanding of what the job interview process will be like. Come prepared to wow the manager in a very short amount of time. You will only have a few moments to make an impression. Also, this is a very competitive company so expect there to be many well qualified people gunning for the same position.

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Paycom in October 2013.
Interview Details I was contacted by two different recruiters - first the recruiter will give you a quick phone screening, then another recruiter called me 30 minutes later and did another phone screening before setting up an office interview the same week.
The first interview in-office seemed very casual, she basically just wanted me to go through my resume, and carried on more of a casual conversation after that. When I asked if she had any more questions for me- she responded "no not really, when I have less questions that means I like you".... Seemed like an inexperienced interviewer.
The office dress was not as professional as I had expected either, one girl in the office had on a dress you could actually see through. Aside from that, I was definitely impressed by the amount of money they said you could make in the beginning, it almost seemed too good to be true. However, this is definitely the factor that kept me really wanting to continue through the process.
Next, I got called in for the phone canvassing. The team was super nice and very helpful in what works best on the phone when setting appointments. They said she gave me a great area to call, which meant she actually wanted to hire me. I set 3 appointments in the first 45 minutes of calling, so the office manager let me go an hour early- which was disappointing because I wanted to see how many I could set in the allotted time.
The next step was an interview with the regional sales director via webcam- my recruiter set this up for the wrong day initially, but I thought it went well once I had the interview.
The next step was when something really started to not feel right.... I was called to go on a ride-along with a sales rep.- I was also told if all went well with this then it would be the final step before an offer. The ride along was changed to lunch the following day, then I received text message an hour and half before I was to leave my house for lunch asking if I could come in for dinner instead, so I had to completely rearrange my schedule twice for the 2 hour drive each way.
The reps who took me to dinner seemed to have no idea what was going on- they didn't know where I was in the interview process, they seemed like they didn't know what exactly we were going to dinner for... It also seemed like they were holding something back or I was missing something.... I was actually told that "sometimes the manager really likes people but just decides not to hire them after taking them through the interview process because they don't have the time or feel like training them...." At that point I was very confused as I thought I was interviewing for an open position that they needed to fill, not just going through the interview process for the sake of going through it.
I was told I was moving on to the final interview round- only to be contacted later and told that "They were going pass"- again not a very professional way to tell someone you are not going to hire them (maybe "pursuing other candidates" or "opportunities" would have been a better way to phrase that). After being told all along that they really liked me and by the reps. that management wanted to hire me and then not being offered, I felt very strung along by the whole process. The interview process is tortuous as they keep telling you this is the last step and it isn't.... it seems like they think the only thing people have going on in their lives is this interview. Did they really need to take me through 5 whole steps to decide I wasn't the right person for the job? Especially, because any decent candidate probably has a ton of other interviews going on at the same time.
Another red-flag is the fact that no one in the entire office had been a rep. for longer than 2.5 years.... and whenever it came up, anyone I talked to seemed very quick to cover-up why a person was no longer working there. Maybe it is because the company is growing so quickly, but I kind of got the impression either you are good enough to move up quickly to a manger status, or you quit from the intensity of the job. Seems like they draw in young, recent college grads. on the premise they are going to make a ridiculous amount of money.
All in all there were some positives and negatives to the experience. Having a recruiter and a contact person is nice, a lot of companies are doing that these days. The other sales reps. seemed like they wanted you to work there- nice people. It is for the best I did not get an offer, after awkwardness of my last interview I had decided not to accept if I was offered. Just way too many red-flags during just the interviews, management seemed too inexperienced, seems like a temporary job. My advice would be to not be jaded by what they tell you that you can make there, they lead with the money thing for a reason. Go with a more recognizable, well-known company if you can.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Paycom in October 2013.
Interview Details Contacted by Paycom representative via LinkedIn. Spoke with him for about 30 minutes. I then scheduled an in person interview with one of the Sales Managers. She was 15 minutes late to our meeting, and that interview only lasted about 20 minutes, which I felt wasn't enough time - but she seemed to have already made up her mind.

Average Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Paycom in September 2013.
Interview Details Had a phone interview and was asked to come in for a live interview 2 days later. Before the interview was over I was asked to come in for the phone canvassing 2 days later. They sent me a script and some other info to review. I took time off work as the phone canvassing session was to last the entire morning. The night before they called to cancel. Quite annoying considering it was they who were so insistent on moving me through the process as quickly as possible. I think it ended up being a blassing though. The managers seem pretty inexperienced and asked a lot of irrelevant questions. I'm also not convinced all the reviews on this site are true. There are way too many "perfect" reviews that sound like they were written by a marketing person.
Interview Question – They don't ask to much that would help them discern your level of sales skill. Most of it was just verifying the info in my resume. Answer Question

Interviewed at Paycom
Interview Details Not getting an offer from Paycom was a blessing in disguise; within 5 minutes into the interview I could tell I did not want to work for this company. My interviewer was rude, uninterested, and I could tell right off the bat she did not like me. If they treat you like this during an interview how are they going to treat you when you are an employee? She also did her very best to drive me into a corner while answering questions. I understand this is to see how people respond under pressure, but she was just rude. I see from other comments people have experienced the same problem, so I do not fault myself, I was prepared for the interview. The interviewer was not prepared to listen.
Interview Question – None- general questions, tell me why you are interested in sales, your experience, etc. Answer Question

Difficult Interview
I applied through a staffing agency and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Paycom in August 2013.
Interview Details It was a 4 round interview process. 1st with the Denver office manager, 2nd with the regional manager, 3rd was an appointment setting session, and last was a final interview with the CSO.
The 1st interview went great! It was obvious that the sales manager was very passionate about Paycom and the future of the company. She seemed to have great interaction with the team and she was very cheerful. She made it very clear what she was looking for in a candidate and her expectations of a new hire.
The 2nd interview also went well. The regional manager was very nice and made me feel like I would be a great fit for the company.
The appointment setting session was very difficult, but it made me realize how exciting the job can be. It challenged me and made want to keep fighting through in order to set the appointments so I could make it to the next step.
Lastly, the interview with the CSO went okay. I don't think I delivered very well on my overall sales experience. He questioned me a lot about my reasons as to why I wanted to relocate to Denver.
I ended up getting asked to get more sales experience and come back and reapply to Paycom down the road. I was very disappointed, but I am confident I would have been a great fit for this company. The amount of pay is rediculous and I am planning on reapplying in another year or so!

Celeb: Zoe Saldana
Designer: Michael Kors (skirt, top, clutch & booties)
Event: Front Row @ Michael Kors Fall 2013, New York Fashion Week
Verdict: Ahhhh! I love Zoe! And I love this bright pink top and skirt combo on her! It is perfect for sitting front row at a fashion show: she looks pretty and polished, but also comfortable…not too stiff and business-like. A Michael Kors 'Monroe' clutch and black peep-toe booties provided perfect accessories, while loose curls and nude lips completed the entire look. Zoe always looks great and I really like this. A+!
What do you think? Do you like this head-to-toe Michael Kors ensemble on Zoe? Love it or loathe it? Yay or nay?
