Tanea Miller won both, her doubles and singlels matches Thursday to help Newberry in their 8-1 win over Coker
Indians dominate Cobras, 8-1
Newberry won all eight matches in which it competed Thursday afternoon
March 16, 2006
NEWBERRY, S.C. The Newberry College women's tennis team jumped to an impressive start Thursday afternoon, sweeping all three doubles matches and winning five of six singles matches to handle Coker, 8-1, at the R. Wright Cannon Courts.
Racquets were on fire as Newberry's numbers one, two, and three doubles pairs defeated Coker. No. 1 doubles Isabel Kreidler and Bethany Poppe defeated Cokers Andrea Santos and Jill Smith 8-5. Newberrys Tanea Miller and Lauren Hartley earned the win in the No. 2 doubles spot against Cassidy Spencer and Neely Davis, win a final score of 8-6. The duo of Brittany Grooms and Chanelle Clare worked together to shut out the Coker doubles teams with a 8-4 win over Jen Konopa and Ashley Schaum in the No. 3 doubles match-up.
With the doubles matches down the ladies now had to focus on their one-on-one efforts. The Cobras' Santos took Kreidler to three sets before the Indians No. 1 singles player pulled through with the victory. Hartley, Clare, and Miller held their Coker opponents to two sets in their wins during the No. 2, 3, and 4 singles matches. As with Kreidler, Poppe had to battle back for the win as she was taken to three sets in her match-up against the Cobras Konopa. Coker was able to record one win though as Grooms was forced to default giving Schaum from Coker the win.
The ladies won all eight of the matches that they competed in and won eight of nine of their total matches on the day. Newberrys next action will be at home at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, March 2o against Presbyterian College.
Newberry 8, Coker 1

Brainfeeder Banquet
Last year the shores and dancefloors of Australia were graced with Brainfeeder record label artists Flying Lotus, Gaslamp Killer, Thundercat and Ronald Bruner Jr.
The Bookery Cook ladies had the pleasure of cooking dinner for the crew before their Brisbane show and the warehouse afterparty.
Here is some footage from the evening...
Established by Flying Lotus, the Brainfeeder label is responsible for producing some of the freshest, quality sounds redefining the boundaries between electronic, hip hop and jazz music.
Flying Lotus's signature jazz-fused beat-centric electronic avant garde sound was picked up by Warp Records in 2007. Great nephew of Alice Coltrane and cousin of Ravi Coltrane Mary Anne Hobbs remarked that "Hendrix obliterated the boundaries with guitars as Lotus does with electronic machines,". Brisbane has been lucky to see Flying Lotus in 2008, 2009 and 2010 thanks to good friends and promoters Dank Morass.
Gaslamp Killer (William Bensussen), resident at the legendary Low End Theory club night in LA, creates his own genre-bending take on psyche, hip hop and grunge, cutting up tunes and destroying dancefloors. His live shows are embellished with his unrelenting energy, hair, and shamanlike dance moves.
Brothers Steve "Thundercat" Bruner and Ronald Bruner Jr are the offspring of world-class drummer Ronald Bruner Sr, who laid down the beat for Diana Ross, the Temptations, Gladys Night and others.
Thundercat (who derives his name from being a bass-driven jazz cat and an unhealthy childhood obsession with the show). He is responsible for the bass on FlyLo's Cosmogramma, records with Erykah Badu, is Robert Trujilio's replacement in seminal punk band Suicidal Tendencies, and in 2010 released his debut EP The Golden Age of Apocalypse.
Ronald Bruner Jr is a Grammy Award winning drummer, composer and producer has been drumming since the age of 2. Bruner can drop the names of having played with great artists such as Wayne Shorter, Dianne Reeves, Ron Carter, Kenny Garrett, Stanley Clarke, George Duke and Marcus Miller.
So we decided to cook up something soulful, filling, nutritious and suitably regal - a Middle Eastern banquet. This is an absolute Bookery Cook classic, one of our all-time favourite meals.
On the menu...
Lamb kofta
Watermelon & feta salad
Fresh pita bread
Homemade chilli sauce
The dinner party was good times, with GLK airing himself by the fan in kitchen while he helped us prepare dinner bits, Thundercat dazzled us with his adornments and Ronald Bruner Jr entertained the ladies at the dinner table. FlyLo's computer had crashed that morning and he was unfortunately unable to attend dinner, so a packed lunch pack was provided (and we heard thoroughly enjoyed!) :D :D
Dinner table setting
Thundercats' bejewelled digits
Then it was time to P.A.R.T.Y !
First, the show at The Tivoli. The line up included Promoter's for the evening the Dank Morass lads - Walrii, Danck & Swob, then Hermitude (replacing Hudmo, who was absent due to injury), the mother f$#&ing Gaslamp Killer, and then Flying Lotus joined by bassist Thundercat and drummer Ronald Bruner Jr.
Poster by Joe Baker
Then, to the afterparty. Djs inlcuded BC's Vivandiere, Dank Morass' Walrii and 8man of Dub Temple Records and Science Project.
Special big ups also go out to the very talented Megan Cullen for taking this amazing footage, Jerry Poon for organising the Australian tour, ATLASt (Warren Handley) & Archie Lancaster (Joe Baker) who were responsible for dope visuals on the night (and are also Bookery Cook artists), Sean & Raff for getting the warehouse in ship shape, and Samuel Dunn for fixing Flylo's broken laptop and saving the show!

Karl Whelan, Contributor
I am an economist specialising in European macro issues.
That's the claim made today by influential commentator Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider. Weisenthal's claim is based on the basic macroeconomic identity that income equals spending. As advocates of the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) school of thought (such as Stephanie Kelton of University of Missouri Kansas City) have emphasized, this simple identity has profound implications. It means that if one sector of the economy is saving (spending less than it's earning) then the other sectors of the economy must be accumulating debt or running down savings (spending more than they are earning).
For a closed economy, this identity means that government deficits must imply private sector saving (with the private sector buying government bonds) while governments can only save (run budget surpluses) if the private sector runs up debts or runs down its savings.
In an open economy, government deficits don't have to imply private saving as it may be the rest of the world that saves by accumulating the government's debt; in this case, it is the rest of the world that is spending less than it's earning in income. Conversely, in an open economy, a budget surplus doesn't have to mean the private sector is reducing its stock of assets or running up debt but that the rest of the world is reducing its stock of assets that it is owed by the surplus-running country.
Weisenthal's argument is that Bill Clinton brought about the financial crisis by running surpluses. Based on the income-spending identity, he concludes it was Clinton's surpluses that lead to the accumulation of private debts that subsequently triggered the financial crisis. I think the "sectoral balances" viewpoint is extremely important for understanding macroeconomics and MMT contributors such as Kelton are doing a great job of promoting its implications. But I think Weisenthal's interpretation of the data is off base.
For starters, here's the chart showing the US federal budget deficit as a share of GDP. Clinton's surpluses began to erode during George W Bush's first year in office and the US was back to running large deficits again in 2003.
And why does 2003 matter? Well, that's when US house prices, which had already been increasing at a decent clip, went into overdrive. So it wasn't budget surpluses that drove the unsustainable asset price bubble that brought about the crash.
And contrary to Weisenthal's story in which the US private sector was "forced" to live beyond its means by a government insistent on running budget surplus, the years prior to the global financial crisis saw both the public and private sectors in the US living beyond their means, with this accumulation of debt financed by current account deficits run with the rest of the world. These deficits, which had been large under Clinton, doubled under George W. Bush.
Weisenthal mentions the role of Fannie and Freddie in stoking up the mortgage crisis. There is little doubt that the federal housing agencies played a role in attempting to extend home ownership rates higher than was perhaps sensible. However, a look at the data shows that the push towards high rates of home ownership that began under Clinton was continued under the Bush administration right up to the eve of the crisis. So you could argue that both administrations deserve equal blame for these developments.
Weisenthal is right to be skeptical of the simplistic view that it is always good for the government to run surpluses or even balanced budgets; the right budget balance for an economy will change over time depending on underlying conditions in the private sector. But using sectoral balances to reach back in time to blame Bill Clinton for the financial crisis is an argument that doesn't fit the facts.
Very nicely put!
Good piece Karl, but I think you are still confusing symptoms with underlying causes. It was the private debt bubble which in turned created the fuel for the housing bubble (along, of course, with mortgage fraud and lax regulation), and the foundations of that private debt bubble were established during the Clinton years. That people began to use their houses as ATMs via endless refinancings simply allowed it to go on for as long as it did. But households and firms were going ever farther into debt, and they were losing their net wealth of government bonds all through the era of the Clinton surpluses. Even when the federal surpluses began to build under Clinton, the world demand for dollar-denominated fixed income assets outstripped supply, and our ingenious Wall Street financial engineers happily generated new sources of supply, beyond Treasuries. The "innovation" we got largely involved mobilizing U.S. household debt, especially mortgage debt, as a portfolio substitute for more traditional government and corporate debt. It's one of the main reasons we're in our current mess. But the point is that had we not had four consecutive years of budget surpluses, our pensioners and others who rely on a stable source of income to park their money would have a bigger supply of Treasuries and far less of these toxic pieces of paper that have acted like a cancer on our economy.
Karl, what do you mean by the public sector lived beyond its means? We have US federal programs right now in 2012 (and then) that are automatically funded indefinitely according to US law. Projected deficit of $1.1 trillion. Gross debt recently passed $16 trillion. Public debt is over $11 trillion. Current account deficit for 1Q 2012 was $137 billion.
"The Trustees project that Part B of Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI), which pays doctors' bills and other outpatient expenses, and Part D, which provides access to prescription drug coverage, will remain adequately financed into the indefinite future because current law automatically provides financing each year to meet the next year's expected costs."

Please explain the solvency of this program.
Karl Whelan,
Thanks very much for this post. I too am a great admirer of Stephanie Kelton's work, and in general of the MMT, sectoral-balances approach to macro. But the article by Weisenthal struck me as a terribly wrongheaded application of the core MMT insights.
One can make the case that the late-90s budget surpluses were counter-productive, and that we should not aim to repeat them, without falling into the trap of blaming them directly or exclusively for a crisis that in fact had many contributing factors, not least the policies and governing ethos of the president who succeeded Bill Clinton in office.
It would be a pity if MMT ideas finally came to greater prominence only to be taken as somehow supporting the crudest arguments with which conservative propagandists have sought to excuse the Bush administration and a fraud-ridden financial sector of all blame for bringing about the bubble and the crash.
"Weisenthal is right to be skeptical of the simplistic view that it is always good for the government to run surpluses or even balanced budgets; the right budget balance for an economy will change over time depending on underlying conditions in the private sector. But using sectoral balances to reach back in time to blame Bill Clinton for the financial crisis is an argument that doesn't fit the facts."
Quite right. In fact, the government should never aim to run surpluses, deficits, or balance. They should shoot for the level of spending that generates full employment. The consequent balance is a residual.
Also, one has to bear in mind that the surplus sector rarely gets to choose to be in surplus–their surplus is a consequence of the deficit sector aiming to spend more than they earn.
Amen to Marshall's comments. Plus,
There is little truth to the idea that any particular president can drive the economy to ruin– or for that matter, to save it.
The fact is, it takes Congress and the Executive Branch to make and enforce legislations and regulations. Contrary to what banksters say, the government did NOT force banks to give loans to people who could not afford them.
However- the U.S. has been living far beyond its means (in ALL sectors of the economy) since the 1980′s. Now it's time to pay the piper.
Did George W. Bush make bad choices? Sure. Did Bill Clinton balance the budget? Absolutely. But did either of them single-handedly lead us to where we are today? No freakin' way.
Debt vs. GDP is a good way to estimate the general condition of an economy. In 1933, at the deepest depths of the Depression, Total US Debt was at 299% GDP.
Open your eyes: Total US Debt across all sectors of the economy reached 300% of the GDP in 2003 and climbed near 380% at the height of the financial collapse. It is not much better now.
ALL sectors of the economy have been over-leveraged and "living beyond their means." Government, Corporations, the Financial Sector, and Households.
Sad truth is– we'll have to see much higher taxes and much less government spending to fix this problem, and we have to make radical changes to the fundamentals of our economy.
Karl, I've arrived (via Naked Capitalism) a little late but still want to offer a few comments. Since I've not read anything of yours before, what follows is solely based on this piece.
Before considering the theory behind the MMT/financial balances approach, wouldn't a brief glance at the economic record have been a good idea?
For example, from 1970 to date the US managed just five budget surpluses, four of them under Clinton. The net cumulative deficit over those years was US$8.8 trillion and, perhaps more surprisingly to those inclined to the "Clinton's budgets destroyed the American economy" story, the overall deficit from 1992-2001 was $671 billion. His four surplus budgets (1998-2001) totalled $472 billion.
Now really, do those numbers support Kelton and co's underlying thesis?
As for the theory, the "sectoral balances viewpoint" is correct but not particularly important. It's an accounting identity, a truism, a reminder that 2+2 still equals four. The real meat is tucked inside the components of GDP from which they're derived, in particular savings and investment. The sectoral balance for any given sector, after all, is the residual after expenditure (including investment) is subtracted from income. In other words, by the time we get to a sector's financial balance the important stuff has already happened.
The trouble with many (perhaps most) sectoral balances enthusiasts is they end up misusing words like "savings". Does it make sense to implicitly suggest a sector's fully funded investment doesn't constitute savings?
Truth is, as I'm sure you know, an economy's financial balance (in the "sectoral balance" sense) ought to fluctuate around zero. That is, over time savings should roughly equal investment. To the extent this doesn't happen, it's likely to be a consequence of mercantilist policies (à la China) and/or unbalanced financial systems (à la regrettably almost everywhere, very much including China).
FWIW, the FoF Matrix from the Fed's Z.1 report (flows and stocks) can be a useful antidote to the MMT/sectoral balances quicksand. It's a reminder that economies have a deep and powerful life apart from central banks and governments. And that the private sector is quite capable of independently generating a plethora of financial assets and liabilities.
I just want to point out another viewpoint (time to wake up):
Cullen Roche
But I would argue that the Clinton surplus started the American public on the path towards a debt binge that would not end for another 7 years. It's not a mere coincidence that the greatest debt binge in American history began during the end of the Clinton years. I believe this can be traced directly back to the Clinton surplus as the sectoral balances clearly show. Of course, there were more moving parts to it than just this, but the surplus played a key role in getting the wheels in motion. And so the seeds were sown for a much larger crisis.
The handling of the economy under the Bush administration is a different chapter in the story, but the moral of the story here is clear – this isn't about politics. I don't care for Paul Ryan's or Bill Clinton's politics. All I know is that their economics stink. And as we're all finding out now, America is only as good as its economy and America's economy is only as good as the people who formulate policy. Clinton sustained a good economy for much of his Presidency. Unfortunately, the wheels came off towards the end and his attempt to fix the US government's fiscal "problems" played a key role here. Paul Ryan's plan would catapult us towards the exact same situation. But again, let's not allow the politics to cloud the economics at work here and like it or not, Ryan's plan is bad economics given the current balance sheet recession. Just like the Clinton surplus was bad economics in the late 90′s.
Your defense of Clinton seems to be, "but Bush did it too!" I find that interesting. But you make a good point, the surpluses don't seem to be connected to the crisis as much as the push for increasing the amount of mortgages.
no mention of the bush tax cuts in 2001… economists estimate that these contributed more to the current deficit than both wars combined. What a good strategy to prevent democrats from gaining power in congress by using Clinton's surpluses to create programs.
One aspect that isn't taken into account is the tech boom. During the Clinton years we "America" was accumulating wealth from other countries through the successes of Microsoft. In my thought process we took wealth from markets around the world and collected them here. The problem is, the problem many families incur….they have more wealth which equals more spending. Think of a person that wins the lottery and then 5 years later is worse off financially than they were prior to winning. We over valued the housing market which allowed wealth to accumulate from many to few. Just as in the 1920′s where we over valued the stock market and the same thing happened. Just like in Monopoly the game. We have to start over and re-distro the wealth. However, the problem this time is China and Japan is the winner of the collection of wealth we saw with Microsoft with cheap products that the rest of the world has desired. So the question is how do we get the wealth back from China and Japan which currently hold 50% of our Gov't debt. It's all about accumulating wealth on the world stage. We need a Manhattan project, with alternative energy instead of the atomic bomb to bring the wealth back home.
You seem to forget that Bush's last two years in office were hampered by a democrat controlled house and senate. He urged congress (17 times) to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but democrats blocked his efforts every time. Therefore, Weisenthal is correct and your arguments don't "fit the facts".
Ah, the mythical Clinton Dot.com surplusses again.

The Portland Timbers have traded away forward Danny Mwanga, who went to Jefferson High School and Oregon State University.
In exchange, the Timbers receive a 2015 first-round pick in the MLS Draft from the Colorado Rapids.
"With Danny being from Portland and having been developed as a player at Westside Timbers, it made this a very difficult decision. He was a great ambassador for the club and the sport in the community," said Gavin Wilkinson, Timbers general manager. "It is a good opportunity for him in Colorado and we feel this move is beneficial for all involved. We wish him well."
Mwanga, 21, played in 18 matches for the Timbers last season, scoring three goals after joining the club in a trade with the Philadelphia Union on June 6. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, Mwanga has recorded 15 goals and nine assists in 79 regular-season matches over four MLS seasons.
Mwanga was born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. He starred at Jefferson High School in Portland and played club soccer at adidas Timbers Alliance club Westside Timbers as a boy.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The pictures that have caused the latest embarrassment for U.S. forces in Afghanistan were provided by a soldier who believed they reflected a breakdown in leadership and discipline.
The photos purport to show U.S. troops posing with the bodies of dead insurgents. The conduct is being condemned by top U.S. civilian and military officials.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says the conduct does not represent the standards of the U.S. military. Carney says the president believes the situation needs to be investigated and those responsible should be held accountable.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters he "strongly condemns" the behavior exhibited in the photos and encouraged a strong investigation, which is already under way.

Wolfeboro man charged with sex assault of roommate's child
The defendant, Joseph Grinnell, 33, was charged with one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault involving a child under age 14, but police indicated that additional charges might be filed. Since the offense is a felony level crime, the case will be presented to a Carroll County Superior Court grand jury for possible indictment.
During the probable cause hearing held Wednesday in 3rd Circuit District Court in Ossipee, Wolfeboro Police Department Sgt. Christopher Keaton testified how the child, and the child's father and mother reported the alleged crime to police on March 27. The father told police when he brought his child to the hospital for a minor medical procedure, medical personnel took a routine urine test. The test revealed that the child was pregnant. The child lives with her father in Maine most of the time but spends weekends with her mother in Wolfeboro. According to testimony presented, Grinnell was a friend of the mother's who moved in with her to help with the bills.
Wolfeboro Police Department Prosecutor Tim Morgan also called Wolfeboro Detective Guy Maloney to the stand. Maloney testified that the child told him that a sexual relationship with Grinnell began in August 2012 and that resulted in the pregnancy. Under questioning by defense attorney Steve Mirkin, Maloney said police obtained DNA evidence that was sent to the state lab for testing, but as of Wednesday, police had not received the results of that testing. The pregnancy was terminated shortly after the child and her parents filed the assault charge.
In further questioning, Mirkin asked if police had investigated the child's whereabouts during the approximate time of conception and Maloney replied he had not.
In further questioning, Maloney said Grinnell acknowledged that he had sexual relations with the child and that the statement she gave during an interview with police and the Child Advocacy Center personnel was accurate. Maloney said police also obtained through a search warrant, Grinnell's cellular phone, and a letter from the child to Grinnell.
Mirken argued that the state has not met the burden of probable cause for a charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault, but the judge disagreed.
Varney found the state has sufficient probable cause.
Mirken asked the court to reduce bail to $2,500.
Morgan said Grinnell was being accused of a "heinous" crime with a substantial penalty and considering his prior criminal history, should be considered an extreme flight risk. Morgan said Grinnell had previously been deemed a fugitive from justice for burglary and felony theft crimes in Texas and Tennessee.
"He has plenty of reason to leave the jurisdiction," Morgan said. Varney agreed and denied the motion to reduce bail.
Aggravated felonious sexual assault carries a 10- to 20-year state prison sentence.
The Portland, Maine, Police Department, Wakefield Police Department, and the Carroll County Child Advocacy Center in Wolfeboro assisted in the investigation.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (10 out of 10)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is a very useful product and extremely resistant. It has a little metal ring on the tip that reduces attrition and prevents the line to break. Also the clip is strong and can be attached tightened to shirts, belts or pants. Moreover, the line is long enough. Perfect to use holding badges.
Cons: About the product I haven't seen no cons at all. The only disadvantage is that you can't choose the color.
Other: Buy it! You won't regret.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This retractable clip to attach objects is very good. Due to its ability to stretch a rope retractable internal to a range of about 50cm, it is very practical to use access badge or keys that need to be on hand at any time.
Cons: Its manufacturing seems to be a bit better than the other model I've ever had. Yet they are fragile and can stop working at any time.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Keeps my door pass for work close at hand and prevents me from forgetting it. The string is a good length and resistant to wear. The mechanism is working well after 6+ months of work. It's a pretty good buy
Cons: The colours they give you are random - mine was bright red and of a glossy, opaque plastic instead of the translucent plastic in the photo
Other: Good product, I like it!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It just works and did not break yet, even after 2-3 months of everyday use. Even the string does not seem to be worn down too much. The rectractable system works well, did not jam even once. The pull-back strength is just right. There is no sign of wear so far, which pleased me. Overall, it saved me a lot of time and effort.
Cons: I'm not convinced it will last forever, that is why I ordered another one as a reserve. Also, it could bit a little bit cheaper.
Other: It's really worth buying if you work somewhere where you need to use an access card very often. Most people will get one of these sooner or later. So far, the product exceeded my expectations.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - A simple good product, usefull - It's hard designed, it looks solid - Colors are discrete (not too flashy)
Cons: For the moment I've no cons for the desing. It doesnt break, it always returns in place ... it's long enough to unlock the door of my office with my badge... ... but the price could be cheaper for 1 unit of this item. I bought 10 of them to use the bulkrate and then it becomes interesting. And my teammates are happy !
Other: Good product, solid, does the job, just buy Bulkrate to save money !
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It is a ideal solution for people who have to be identified at job each time that they have to open a door. The clip fit perfect in many cards and works fine.
Cons: Maybe the wire could be longer and more resistent, but i haven't got any problem. The clip behind could be more resistent too. The cons worst is that you can't choose the color.
Other: By the price it is ok.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - It´is ok extend that i need. - It keep well the card. - No problem walking or doing an office work. - It is stronger than I expexted
Cons: - The clip can be broken and let out of the plastic.
Other: Very Good all that I expected
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Nice and useful for carrying access cards. No need to put card in pocket and at the same time can be used as badge holder.
Length in enough for carrying either on belt or on breast pocket.
Cons: Colour is random, but i like received one. In my order the colour was something like violet.
Build quality is ok, some burrs near hole can be fined out with file for nails.
Other: Back clip is very firm - no risk to lose it.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is working well, retractable and long enough.
Used to replace a failing one from work.
Also used for other purpose, holding a plasticized sheet with instructions, being attach to ceiling, take it, read it, let it go back in place. never lost, always there. not§ reachable by child ;-).
Buy by bulk rate shipping.
Colors received are ok.
Cons: fearing the smooth plastic will not support open/close too much
Other: small product, great price, good usages
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very convinient thing. Helps not to forget my pass and make my hands free for something else.
Cons: In broke down after a month of usage. Probably because Iplayed with it too much. But I have ordered two more of this items. Because when it broke down, I understood that i cannot live without it :) The other cons is that you cannot choose a colour of the item. The item was sent to me in a red colour.
Other: A good and easy thing after all. Ordered two more such items because i liked their conveniance.

"You will spend the majority of your waking hours working so if you don't love what you do, leave it," says Jeff Rich, BBA '82.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. When guest speaker Jeff Rich, BBA '82, began his talk to incoming BBA students at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, only five students recognized his Dallas, Texas-based company, ACS, a leading provider of business process outsourcing and information technology.
"Our policy of not advertising is working," he joked. "There are only 20,000-25,000 people we need to know. Our market relies on referrals. They all know each other and they all talk."
Rich, CEO of ACS, quickly brought students attending the September 3 orientation session held in Hale Auditorium up to speed. ACS, a Fortune 500 company, has 43,000 professionals in nearly 100 countries, including China, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Ghana, India, Ireland, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mexico, Spain and the United States. ACS, whose customers include such household names as AT&T, Sprint, Aetna, Allstate, UPS,
General Motors and Motorola, operates the New York-New Jersey Easy Pass System and manages health claims processing for eight out of the top 10 health insurers.
"We move low-end tasks offshore. It is a pretty boring business, but there is a lot of money in boring," said Rich, who joined ACS as chief financial officer in 1989, one year after the company's inception. He was named president and chief operating officer in 1995 and has served as CEO since 1999. For the past four years, ACS has been ranked in the Forbes Platinum 400 List of Best Big Companies in America.
Rich shared with students five life lessons he predicted they won't learn in school:
Rich seeks in new hires:
The future of outsourcing is scary, admitted Rich, citing personnel costs that are 10 percent to 15 percent lower in India and China than in the United States. "Politicians couldn't save the small farmer in the 1960s, the U.S. automobile industry from the Japanese in the 1960s and 1970s, the IBMs in the 1980s, and they can't save me or our industry now." To remain a superpower, the United States must remain on the technological forefront, Rich added.

Tale of the tape
Week 9: Pittsburgh Steelers At New York Giants
|Ben Roethlisberger is getting the job done once again and the Steelers are starting to find their rhythm. Since dropping a Week Six game at Tennessee, the Steelers have won two games in a row. Roethlisberger completed 24-of-33 passes for 222 yards and three TDs against the Redskins and is throwing the ball with velocity and confidence.
|Eli Manning is not coming off one of his best games, but he is still the quarterback you want with the ball in his hands in the fourth quarter. Manning's always manages to keep his cool because he has come through in so many pressure situations. He reads defenses will and simply makes the right throw at the right time.
|The Steelers have had several key injuries at the running back position, but Jonathan Dwyer has come through with back-to-back 100-yard rushing efforts. That's vintage Steelers football. That makes life a lot easier for tight end Heath Miller and speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace. The Steelers have an explosive quality to their offense when Wallace is playing well.
|The running game has been much better this year for the Giants than it was a year ago, but it has not been consistent. Ahmad Bradshaw had a 78-yard game against the Cowboys, but speedy rookie Andre Brown did not break any big runs in that game. Victor Cruz is the Giants' No. 1 big-play receiver, but he did little against the Cowboys. Hakeem Nicks can step up and deliver for Manning.
|The Steelers had one of their best defensive efforts against the Redskins. They closed down RGIII as well as any team in the league so far. While stopping Manning is difficult, he obviously doesn't present the same challenge running the football as the Redskins rookie. Larry Foote had six tackles and a sack, while former Giant defensive back Will Allen added seven tackles.
|The Giants have to be concerned with their pass defense. While no team in the league can dial up the pass rush like the Giants, their secondary has been riddled in recent weeks. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw for 437 yards and found open receivers throughout the game. Strong safety Stevie Brown had two interceptions against the Cowboys and now has five for the season.
|The Steelers are not usually going to win the battle on special teams, but placekicker Shaun Suisham made 3-of-3 field goal attempts against the Redskins. Punter Drew Butler averaged 50.7 yards on three punts against the Steelers.
|Special Teams
|Lawrence Tynes is a kicker who has proved his ability to hit key field goals in big game. He proved it once again in the Week Eight victory over the Cowboys as he made 5-of-5 FG attempts, including the game winner late in the fourth quarter. Steve Weatherford averaged 47.8 yards on six punts against the Cowboys.
The winner is

Thread: A cop on lover's lane...
03-06-07, 10:11 PM #1Victor N TN Guest
A cop on lover's lane...
A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known spot. He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look.
Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
The young man lowers his window . "Uh, yes, officer?"
The cop says: "What are you doing?"
The young man says: "Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater."
Now, the cop is totally confused. A young couple. Alone, in a car, at night in a Lover's lane....and nothing obscene is happening!
The cop asks: "What's your age, young man?"
The young man says : "I'm 22, sir."
The cop asks: "And her .. what's her age?"
The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes."
Yes indeed.Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Aeros to Host Grand Rapids in Games 1, 2 This Weekend at Toyota Center
2013 Calder Cup Playoffs
Western Conference Quarter Finals - Best of five
Houston Aeros (6 - Seed) vs. Grand Rapids Griffins (3 - Seed)
1 Grand Rapids at Houston Friday, Apr. 26 7:05 PM
2 Grand Rapids at Houston Sunday, Apr. 28 5:05 PM
3 Houston at Grand Rapids Wednesday, May 1 7:00 PM (ET)
4 Houston at Grand Rapids Friday, May 3 7:00 PM (ET) - X
5 Houston at Grand Rapids Saturday, May 4 7:00 PM (ET) - X
X = If Necessary
Dear Aeros fan,
I'm not going to start this one out with any fluff. After grinding their way through 76 games, the Aeros finished the regular season with 90 points, and that was good enough for only 6th place in the Western Conference. That just goes to show you how good ALL the playoff teams are. I can almost make a legitimate case as to why every team in this conference could be skating for the Calder Cup in June.
But with the Aeros leaving for Des Moines after the season, it's almost hard not to picture this squad making a miracle run and giving Houston hockey fans one more taste of glory.
As much as I want to believe that is a realistic possibility, my brain says otherwise. I'd love to see them take out Grand Rapids in the first round and then upset another team to make things very interesting. But the dice and cards and all that stuff just isn't lining up right now. I don't have a good feeling about the roster right now due to all the recent injuries in Minnesota, and I really don't like entering the playoffs with a cold goalie in a best-of-five series.
I am blessed and have seen a lot of playoff hockey since 1994, and I usually have a good pulse on the team going into the playoffs. While I hope I am wrong, and I hope I get flamed off the internet if I don't call it right, but I think Sunday will be the last Aeros game of the season ... and foreseeable future.
I know the team is hot recently, but they beat up on non-playoff teams down the stretch and while that was good enough to get them into the playoffs, it's not going to be good enough to get by a division winner like Grand Rapids.
Debbie Downer's prediction is Grand Rapids in five.
Tomorrow, we'll hear from Sunshine Sally, who has a different take on this series and the rest of the playoffs.
9 comments:
I'll give you the cold goalie argument...but the MN Wild have only used 31 players this year (3 of which have been traded away) so I don't buy the "Wild have so many injuries they poached all our good players" line of thought. IF and I mean IF Zucker and Granlund stay this Friday and Saturday I think they have a pretty good shot at winning both games in Houston but I'm concerned about the roster after the regular season ends and Minnie calls up players for the playoffs. GO AEROS!
- April 24, 2013 at 10:44 AM
Judging by the regime of "The Sunshine Kid" I don't think the cold goalie will make any difference.
most of the games with the Griffins were close save a blow out for each on the other's home ice.
The Aeros have proven to be a decent road time.
My crystal ball says we advance and live to play another day.
Go Aeros
- April 24, 2013 at 12:28 PM
Go Aeros it's our last stand in Houston! Kuemper is ready and we are going to win the Cup.
- April 24, 2013 at 5:57 PM
Seriously, they need to get ready for Iowa...big EMPTY playoffs.
- April 24, 2013 at 10:36 PM
Who is the "they" who need to get ready for Iowa? The coaches and the team need to get ready for the playoffs and I dare say they would like nothing better than to go as deep as they possibly can. You can't possibly believe they're thinking beyond winning the Cup. They're a competitive group; they want to win. They'll worry about Iowa later.
- April 25, 2013 at 2:24 PM
Attendance and fan support is a big reason that TWO (2)AHL teams have failed in Des Moines. The front office will give tickets away the first year or two and attendance will fall off accordingly. By then the Wild will have justification that they have lost so much money they are moving the team to the NEW arena they control in Sioux city.
- April 25, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Yes so WE need a hockey arena around Houston! Have you seen the number of minor league hockey teams around Dallas? They have a team in Frisco! Houston has to be hell next year for hockey fans this is ridiculous build US a hockey arena!
- April 25, 2013 at 11:06 PM
hopefully the county and city fathers won't make the same mistake twice.
there will never be hockey in houston at any level as long as les has the final say
- April 26, 2013 at 7:35 AM
Awesome game tonight!!! Kuemper was untouchable in goal, Scandella and Fontaine had some nice goals, and even Fontaine's empty netter was nice (bad angle, but he put it in the net, and beat icing to boot). Crowd was smaller than I expected, but they were definetly in playoff mode. I love playoff hockey!!! Awesome.

I have an uneasy feeling that I know what I'm getting for Fathers Day.
Not sure how your family celebrates that holiday, but mine uses it to get me things I wouldn't otherwise buy for myself. It's probably the only reason I ever got a cell phone, and a couple of years ago it was a good excuse for a flat-screen TV for the living room.
Yes, I use both of them now.
But before the Amey family spring-break trip to Texas last week, the subject of a GPS device came up. It was vetoed then, partially because JoJo — who gets a lot of mileage out of the screaming and swearing when the driver who shall remain nameless gets lost — said, "What fun would that be?" Well, we found out that other computer directions aren't that much fun either.
We did fine on the nine-hour, 580-mile first leg to Little Rock, but we were on a time constraint the following day because we'd heard our resort was exceptionally picky about its guests arriving on time (a reputation that, fortunately, was vastly overblown).
Our first glitch came at Texarkana, when we encountered a detour on the exit from one highway to another that must have been designed by a committee of engineers from Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. It took us what seemed like 45 minutes to get from one road to the other, so we got to a nervous stage of the trip (and the Butler-Michigan State game on the radio didn't help our nerves much).
Got to the outskirts of Conroe — our week was spent in the Conroe, April Sound and Montgomery area of Texas — and called our resort to tell the folks there we were going to time the deadline for arrival very closely. No problem, they said — and besides, we had our computer directions from a company whose name rhymes with "Lap Nest."
Kept going and going and couldn't find the turnoff those directions suggested. More nervousness, more anxiety. Finally arrived at Loop 336, which we took after leaving westbound Texas 105. Followed the loop around, got back on westbound Texas 105 and discovered that yes, it really was a loop. In a situation where every minute counted, we'd wasted a half hour by being directed in a circle for more than 15 miles! Now there was considerable screaming and swearing.
But that and the long ride home — which was saved for the driver and Ryan by baseball on XM radio, although I can't speak for the four women (our step-daughter Tass also joined us) crammed in the car with all the luggage — were the only tough parts.
Was expecting some cowboy stuff, since we'd read that people occasionally shopped by horseback in Montgomery (birthplace of the Texas flag, population 479), and we did enjoy the food and the atmosphere at Ransom's Steakhouse and Saloon (great steaks, pretty good venison chili and maybe the best margaritas in Texas) a couple of times.
But our area was actually a suburban golf and fishing area around Lake Conroe, basically a distant suburb of Houston. Son-in-law Ryan (known to our family as BR) and grandson Garrett flew out to join us and stayed at The Woodlands, so we also got to see one of Houston's toniest suburbs.
We found Incredible Pizza, which has an all-day buffet plus an arcade, go-karts, bumper cars, bowling, etc., and spent one day there, Darcy getting her ski-ball fix and Garrett winning the go-kart race (because of the size of our kids, the cars had no acceleration, so I can understand why NASCAR drivers hate restrictor-plate racing).
We got to Houston three times for the science museum, the Astros vs. the Giants — Houston may not win a game this year, but the kids loved the Kung Fu Panda (Pablo Sandoval of San Francisco) — and one day when BR took the grownups to the NASA space center and the kids and I (you know by now I'm not a grownup) buzzed around downtown to the aquarium, the zoo and several unplanned places in between.
Traffic was a little dicey at times, although not nearly as harrowing as Washington, D.C., was last summer, and BR even found some toll roads and HOV lanes to help him out a couple of times. Weather was gorgeous every day but one (the ballgame day, of course, when thunderstorm warnings caused the Minute Maid Park roof to be closed) and we even swam once in an outdoor pool (once being a key word).
Had a box for the Houston Chronicle about 10 yards from our front door, so I still had my daily newspaper fix (and read once about freshman Mel Dumezich, the Whiting softball star that Brenda Coldren and I drooled over, getting a game-winning hit for Texas A&M) and the kids and I got to pet sharks and learn a little science and history. JoJo even invited Darcy to play checkers with her at one point, my personal high point of the trip.
To summarize, we had a great time at a place we hadn't decided to visit until it was almost too late to decide to go anywhere. We'd be happy to go back again sometime.
But we'll probably fly when we do.

American Indians, Alaska Natives and Diabetes
In 2007, American Indians and Alaska Natives numbered about 3.3 million people, or 1.5 percent of the U.S. population. American Indians comprise about 96 percent of this ethnic/minority group. There are over 500 tribal organizations in the United States, with many differences in language and culture.
Type 1 diabetes is relatively rare in American Indians and Alaska Natives, whereas type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes in this group of people.
In 2002, approximately 30 percent of American Indians and Alaskan Natives ages 55 years and older had diabetes. The overall prevalence of diabetes among American Indians and Alaska Natives combined is approximately 16 percent. On average, they are 2-3 times as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites of similar age. Available data may underestimate the true prevalence of diabetes in American Indians. For example, data from the Navajo Health and Nutrition Survey, published in 1997, showed that about 23 percent of Navajo adults had diabetes, one-third of whom had not yet been diagnosed.
Diabetes is particularly common among middle-aged and older American Indians and Alaska Natives. Among the Pima Indians of Arizona, about 50 percent of people between the ages of 30 and 64 have diabetes. Diabetes rates are highest in Pima children whose parents developed diabetes at an early age. Until recently, type 2 diabetes was rarely diagnosed in children and adolescents. However, it is becoming increasingly common among American Indian children ages 10 and older.
The death rate for diabetes in American Indians is estimated to be 3 times the rate in non-Hispanic whites. Diabetes contributes to several of the leading causes of death in American Indians: heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, pneumonia, and influenza.
The rate of complications – kidney, eyes, amputation, periodontal disease – is also higher for this group. The rate of end-stage renal disease (the final stage of kidney disease associated with kidney failure and dialysis) in American Indians and Alaskan natives with diabetes has been estimated to be 3.5 times higher than in non-Hispanic whites. In Pimas, it is the leading cause of death. One study showed a 49.3 percent prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Oklahoma Indians. Diabetic retinopathy is a deterioration of the blood vessels in the eye caused by high blood glucose levels and can lead to impaired vision and, ultimately, to blindness. Rates of lower extremity amputation are high in some American Indians but vary by tribe. The incidence of periodontal disease is 2.6 times higher in Pima Indians with diabetes than in those without it.
Excerpted and adapted from the Diabetes in American Indians and Alaska Natives Fact Sheet (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Indian Health Services (IHS) fact sheet.

Yesterday, the 90-year-old Mother-Out-Law was scheduled for a mammogram. FOR REALZ. The 56-year-old caregiver didn't see the irony: "Ninety-year-olds can get breast cancer, too." Yes, but can most 90-year-olds survive radiation and chemo? Particularly 90-year-olds with severe joint degradation, who are blind from macular degeneration, and can't see or feel well enough to feed themselves properly? When the standards of care for a younger, mostly healthy person are...

As temperatures continue to rise, folks without air conditioning, especially the elderly, are already starting to have difficulty dealing with the heat.
The Pitt County Council on Aging delivers over 100 circulating fans, for free, to folks over 60 each year. The organization says they have delivered nearly 60 fans so far and the summer isn't even here yet. Unable to afford air conditioning, 65-year old Mary Langley, was among the recipients of a fan.
The council on aging says folks applying for a fan, must be at least 60-years old, and not have working air conditioning. Many counties have similar programs. You can contact your county government for more information.

Retinitis Pigmentosa
What Is It?
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an eye disease. It leads to gradual loss of vision and, sometimes, blindness.
RP occurs when the light-sensing cells in the eye break down. These cells, called rods and cones, are located in the retina. This is the back portion of the eye that sends visual information to the brain.
The first signs of RP usually can be detected by age 10. The first symptoms usually show up in adolescence. The total amount of vision loss and how quickly the disease worsens vary from person to person.
No one knows exactly what causes RP. It is believed to be an inherited disorder. However, in some cases, the disease occurs in people who do not have a family history of the disease.
The disorder also can show up as part of other syndromes. These include Bassen-Kornzweig disease or Kearns-Sayre syndrome.

Although official reports say Ace was playing Russian Roulette, other theories maintain he was murdered, perhaps by his manager, whose contract Johnny had recently tried to break out of. When he hears the news, a twelve-year-old Lou Reed wears a black armband all day in mourning.
1954: Although it was released in 1947, Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" only now enters the pop charts in the US, owing to years of seasonal airplay buildup. Eventually, it would become the largest-selling single in world history, a title it would hold for four decades.
1958: Hugely influential DJ Alan Freed puts on his first "Christmas Rock & Roll Spectacular" at Loews State Theatre in Manhattan, featuring, among others, Chuck Berry, Jackie Wilson, Bo Diddley, Eddie Cochran, The Moonglows, The Everly Brothers, Frankie Avalon and Johnnie Ray.

1981: Michael Jackson calls Paul McCartney to wish him Merry Christmas, and at the same time, suggests they write and record together. The result is the hit duet "The Girl Is Mine," the first single off of the landmark album Thriller.
1982: David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth," an unlikely duet broadcast five years earlier on a TV special, becomes an even more unlikely hit, reaching #1 in the UK.
1990: When soldiers at Fort Jackson, SC, are held over for Christmas because of the impending Gulf War instead of being sent home, the currently-incarcerated James Brown is given a four-day furlough in order to perform a free concert for the troops. It it his first gig in two years.

A number of town and local officials as well as volunteers and individuals involved in the project turned up Tuesday morning to break ground on the new Field School.
"We're here to start the next exciting element in Weston's school program," Project Manager Jeff D'Amico told the crowd gathered behind the current Field School. "We're all here to work together as a team."
The project is budgeted at $31.5 million with the Massachusetts School Building Authority committing to reimburse the town for 34.5 percent of the cost, or about $8.1 million.
School Committee member Ed Heller explained that the design of the new building is "attentive to educational programming and sensitive to the aesthetic and environmental concerns of Weston."
Once the new building is completed, the current building will be demolished and new athletic fields will be added.
"There's been a lot of dreaming about this new Field School," Superintendent Cheryl Maloney said. "We look forward to opening the school and having new facilities to house 21st century learning."
The new building is expected to be ready for students by the start of the 2014-15 school year.

The new Kings River Bridge opened this week, allowing visitors easier access to Cedar Grove in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and extending the area's use through Nov. 11.
During construction, Cedar Grove visitors and campers had to take a short detour to use area concessions, spokeswoman Dana Dierkes said.
The park had originally scheduled for the grove to close Oct. 15; however, with the bridge's completion, that date was pushed back four weeks.
Cedar Grove remains open for day use only through Nov. 11.
Caltrans is set to close Highway 180 at the gate south of Yucca Point at noon Nov. 12.

Barbara Bui what can I say about it?… After her previous collections i never liked her style to be honest, the clothes weren't too captivating or maybe was the vibe they send that didn't make me say "oh i love it" and that's really weird cause if you hadn't notice it before i'm a fashion addict and i can't help myself from loving a good piece of clothing. Anyway i'm not trying to say that she was a bad designer, but she just wasnt my fave! And today i just saw the runway show as always but not very optimistic about it and guess what… i LOVE it! everysingle piece of the collection was incredible the high weisted pants with the long zipper in front, the crop tops, the jackets and the colors between blue and light blue mixted with the most amazing white shoes ever where the perfect combo. I don't know if she read my mind, but every piece that i could love she made it come to life! thank you Barbara, thank you so much.

Giant on the move
Charles in charge: speed, momentum and centrifugal force
I've never met Matt Lauer from NBC but I was assured this week that I kicked his ass.
That was the consensus of several USA Cycling experts when I finally rolled off the Olympic velodrome after a gut-wrenching but exhilarating ride.
When Nick Legan, the team mechanic who was riding along with me, told me I was going much higher on the banks than Lauer had when he tried out the track a few days ago, I decided I should go even higher.
I screamed as I reached the top of the steep bank of the Olympic velodrome, then felt the air swish through my helmet as I pedaled around the curve and pushed hard along the straightaway.
