It's game on for Game On Dude in next Saturday's Santa Anita Handicap after the favorite for the track's marquee race worked six furlongs on a fast main track Sunday morning under Martin Garcia in company with stablemate Patriot's Voyage. Each was timed in 1:11, fastest of 11 drills at the distance, the average time of which was 1:12.95.
"I was really happy with the work," said Bob Baffert, who will accept highweight of 125 pounds assigned to Game On Dude for the Grade I classic offering $750,000 in purse money.
"I wasn't really happy with the weights," Baffert went on. "I thought I'd at least get the same weight as Bill Mott's horse (defending Big 'Cap winner Ron the Greek). That's a good horse. Every time I run against those good horses, they beat me. My horse is a tough little horse, but Ron the Greek's tough, too."
Ron the Greek was given second highweight of 122 pounds.
"The main thing is, he worked really well," Baffert said of Game On Dude, not dwelling on the weights. Baffert had the earner of more than $3.2 million galloping out seven furlongs in 1:24.
Probable for the Santa Anita Handicap at 1 ¼ miles presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino, with assigned weights: Game On Dude, 125, Ron the Greek, 122, Called to Serve, 118, Richard's Kid, 118; Guilt Trip, 117; Handsome Mike, 117; John Scott, 116; Stephanoatsee, 116 and Clubhouse Ride, 115.
Game On Dude, winner of the 2011 Santa Anita Handicap, is owned by a partnership of the Lanni Family Trust, Bernie Schiappa, Mercedes Stable and baseball great Joe Torre. Game On Dude has won 11 of 23 starts and $3,252,158. He has never won carrying more than 124 pounds.
In other Big 'Cap news:
Ron the Greek, winner of last year's Big 'Cap, was scheduled to arrive at Ontario Airport early Sunday afternoon, then van to Santa Anita to prepare for the race he won last year by 3 ½ lengths, coming from 10th after a quarter mile in a field of 13.
Carla Gaines, who yesterday said John Scott would pass the Big 'Cap, Sunday morning said she was "not ruling it out" after the Crystal Water Stakes winner worked six furlongs under Martin Garcia in 1:11.60.
Not only will Santa Anita present three Grade I races on Big 'Cap Day, fans on track will receive free an attractive Santa Anita tote bag with paid admission while supplies last. Festivities also will include popular premium Food Trucks, a KROQ concert featuring Youngblood Hawke, a microbrew and craft beer presentation and a $400,000 guaranteed late Pick 4 presented by Daily Racing Form.
First post time on Big 'Cap is 12 noon. Gates open at 10 a.m.
Game On Dude will be the morning-line favorite for the Santa Anita Handicap, according to Jon White, who is Santa Anita's oddsmaker and provides commentary from the paddock for the track's simulcast network.
"Before we know who is actually entered, any morning-line prices for the Big 'Cap are subject to change," White said. "But based on the horses currently listed as probable, I plan to make Game On Dude a 6-5 favorite, with Ron the Greek the second choice at 5-2.
"I made Game On Dude a 9-5 morning-line favorite for the Breeders' Cup Classic, with Ron the Greek at 6-1. Game On Dude was sent away as a 6-5 favorite in that race, while Ron the Greek's closing price was 8-1. Ron the Greek finished fourth, while Game On Dude ended up seventh. Since the Classic, Game On Dude is two for two and Ron the Greek romped (to an 11 1/4-length victory) on a sloppy track in Sunshine Millions Classic at Gulfstream.
"In next Saturday's Big 'Cap, I expect Game On Dude and Ron the Greek to be much, much closer in the betting than the 6-5 and 8-1 they were in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Game On Dude and Ron the Greek really are the 'big two' in this year's Big 'Cap. I think they definitely deserve to be the morning-line favorite and second choice for this year's Santa Anita Handicap considering they have won the last two Big 'Caps.
"Beyond Game On Dude and Ron the Greek, depending on exactly how many others are entered, I plan to put Called to Serve, Guilt Trip and Stephanoatsee from 5-1 to 8-1. Called to Serve won the Discovery at Aqueduct by almost five lengths and the Broad Brush at Laurel by almost six. He's very dangerous, especially with his rider being Gary Stevens, who has won the Big 'Cap four times. Guilt Trip looked good winning the Strub. And Stephanoatsee, who ran second in the Strub, acts as if he will like the longer distance of the Big 'Cap."
Eclipse Award winner Beholder worked five furlongs on Santa Anita's fast main track Sunday in 59.60 under regular rider Garrett Gomez as the 2012 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner prepares for next Saturday's Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at one mile.
"Beautiful" is how Richard Mandella termed the work. Beholder was upset by 20-1 shot Renee's Titan in the 6 ½ furlong Santa Ynez Stakes on Jan. 21, losing by three-quarters of a length in her 3-year-old debut.
With Rafael Bejarano in the saddle, Fiftyshadesofhay also worked Sunday for the Las Virgenes, going five furlongs in company with Brannaman in 59.40 for Bob Baffert. Brannaman was clocked in a minute flat.
"She's Kentucky Oaks material," Baffert said of Fiftyshadesofhay, a daughter of Pulpit who won the Grade II Santa Ysabel on a wet/fast track by nearly six lengths under Bejarano, who has ridden her in each of her six starts.
Probable for the Las Virgenes: Beholder, Gomez; Fiftyshadesofhay, Bejarano; Renee's Titan, Tyler Baze; and Speedinthruthecity, Joe Talamo.
McANALLY EYES BETTER DRAW FOR SUGGESTIVE BOY IN KILROE MILE
Ron McAnally, sitting on 699 career victories at Santa Anita, seeks his second win in the Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile next Saturday when he sends out Arcadia Stakes winner Suggestive Boy. "He worked good yesterday," said the 80-year-old Hall of Fame trainer, referring to Suggestive Boy's five furlong turf move in 1:01.40. "He did it really nice and I don't think we'll get the 13 post position again."
Suggestive Boy, a 5-year-old Easing Along horse bred in Argentina, won the Grade II Arcadia at one mile on turf breaking from the No. 12 post position in a field of 13.
Probable for the Kilroe: Akkadian, Garrett Gomez; Mr. Commons, Corey Nakatani; Silentio, Rafael Bejarano; Strong Suit, Gary Stevens; and Suggestive Boy, Joe Talamo.
Bob Baffert said he is "strongly considering" the race for Fed Biz after the San Fernando Stakes winner worked four furlongs on turf Saturday in 48.80. The son of Giant's Causeway would be making his first grass start after nine career races.
FINISH LINES: John Sadler said the status for Demonic in the March 9 San Felipe Stakes is "questionable." The Triple Crown hopeful is nursing an unrevealed malady which has curtailed his training schedule. Sadler added that La Caňada Stakes winner More Chocolate, who worked six furlongs Saturday in 1:14.60, is "in good shape" for the Grade I, $300,000 Santa Margarita Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on March 16 . . . Breeders' Cup Marathon winner Calidoscopio worked four furlongs Sunday in 48.20. "He worked good," trainer Mike Puype said after the 11-year-old horse worked under Aaron Gryder. "We need a couple works to get ready no matter what," added Puype, who offered no firm plans for the Argentine-bred's next race. Calidoscopio worked in company with Ice Cream Truck who was clocked in 48.60 . . . Richard Mandella was delighted after giving Frenchman Flavien Prat a leg up on his first winner at Santa Anita in Saturday's ninth race aboard a Dynaformer colt making his first start, Quiet Force, who got up by a nose at a $57.80 return, cementing a Pick 6 carryover of $100,001 into Sunday's card. "It's one of the most fun things we've had happen" said the Hall of Fame trainer, who has been mentoring Prat during his tour at The Great Race Place. "He rode the horse really well. He's ridden three for me, a win, a second and a third. I just wish I'd have had more to give him. I'm going to miss him. He goes back (to France) Thursday. Their big season starts soon. He's a terrific kid with a terrific future." . . . With a victory aboard American Excess at $5.40 in the fifth race at Los Alamitos last night, Efrain Hernandez registered his 40th career win, thus losing two pounds from his seven pound apprentice allowance. He now rides with a five-pound advantage . .The "Van Berg"--sandwich, that is--made its debut at Clockers' Corner Sunday morning to rave reviews. The brainchild of Hall of Fame trainer Jack, The "Van Berg" consists of wheat bread, bologna, mayonnaise, peanut butter and tomato. This culinary delight is offered for $3 and quickly sold out this morning according hostess Rosie Ybarra. GO FIGURE!! . . . A total of 5,913 players registered for ShowVivor II that began yesterday. With several favorites failing to finish at least third yesterday, 1,998 participants remained alive entering Sunday's action . . . Carl Baze, a trainer for 50 years mainly in Washington state and the Northwest and the grandfather of jockey Tyler Baze, died Friday night at the Arbor Rose Senior Care in Mesa, Arizona. Services will be 1 p.m. Tuesday at Arbor Rose.

A high school graduation rate of 100 percent.
That is one of several goals United Way of Southern Nevada wants to see become reality in the Silver State.
"The community needs to work together," said Cass Palmer, president and chief executive officer of United Way of Southern Nevada. "I realize (this goal) is high in the sky, but education is doable."
United Way on Thursday celebrated the impact it has had in the community in recent years and recognized the individuals and companies that stepped up to make change happen. Its annual luncheon, Community in Blue | Campaign Celebration 2013-14 took place at the Paris Las Vegas.
During the event, the nonprofit's recent achievements in education, health and financial stability were highlighted. People whose lives were touched by the nonprofit and its community partners shared their stories through recordings played on two large screens.
"We look back a year and look at our accomplishments," Palmer said soon after the event, which is typically attended by 400 to 500 people.
From 2010 to 2013, more than 250,000 immunizations were provided to children through United Way community partnerships, according to the organization's impact results.
More than 17,000 children received preventive care from a family doctor, and more than 25,000 dental services were provided to families at no cost.
During the same period, more than 35,000 high school students and their families received information, support and resources to increase on-time graduation.
Also, 1,000 young children who didn't qualify to attend preschool for free received scholarships, according to the results, which were highlighted during the event.
Some of the financial stability achievements included helping Southern Nevada residents file more than 18,100 tax returns, with $13.3 million in tax credits returned and $23.9 million in tax refunds.
The nonprofit typically raises a little more than $11 million, which goes back to smaller nonprofits in the community to help improve the lives of people, Palmer said. The amount has been steady over the last few years.
The nonprofit doesn't focus much on the amount they raise, but more on the change it wants to make in those three critical areas, Palmer said.
"It's about making an impact in our community," he said.

Members of Congress and their aides have been accepting and taking trips around the world, sponsored and funded by foreign governments.
Washington D.C.-based watchdog Legistorm raised concerns about the Congressional travel/gift policy. It bans gifts from lobbyists, but allows other countries to host U.S. lawmakers and their staffs on foreign soil with little oversight.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor (D) Tampa helped pass new ethics rules and restrictions on travel after the Jack Abramoff scandal. She said this travel policy that permits other countries to fund travel for U.S. policymakers should also be reviewed and changed, due a relative lack of transparency, and potential for conflict.
"I think that is a loophole that needs to be closed," said Castor. "I'm surprised this loophole exists and I'm going to look into how we close it under the rules of the Congress."
Congressional travel rules currently allow foreign-sponsored travel approved by the U.S. State Department as a cultural exchange.
"And of course, culture can mean a lot of lavish activities," said USF Political Science Professor Dr. Susan MacManus. "They know you get a staffer's ear and show them a good time...they end up making recommendations to sitting Congressmen, and that's how a Congress member votes."
Annual financial disclosure reports list basic details of many of these trips. We found several hundred taken (primarily by congressional staffers) over the past six years.
An aide to Congressman Bill Young took one such trip to Israel. Young said that was at the request of Israel's ambassador, to review missile defense systems at a time when Israel was getting shelled.
Young said he has personally never taken trips funded by outside interests and believes that Congressional travel should be funded by Congress.
Records show a staffer for Senator Marco Rubio and a staffer for U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis also accepted foreign sponsored travel.
Bilirakis' office responded with a statement noting the rationale and benefits of accepting such trips.
"Cultural exchange trips are fact-finding missions specifically related to policy areas being considered or discussed. In this case, they were utilized to gather information to assist the Congressman (Bilirakis) in making informed policy decisions in his role on the Foreign Affairs Committee."

Two draft standards have recently been posted on the ESTA website for public review through 17 January 2006.
BSR E1.2-200x, Entertainment Technology-Design, Manufacture and Use of Aluminum Trusses and Towers, is a revision of the existing American National Standard E1.2-2000. Its revisions are to address the effects adding or removing paint or other coatings may have on the strength of aluminum truss and tower modules. The changes since the last public review have focused on clarifying the references to other standards.
BSR E1.4-200x, Entertainment Technology-Manual Counterweight Rigging Systems, describes the design and construction of manually powered counterweight rigging systems. There are numerous editorial changes made since the last public review, and a few substantive changes, primarily dealing with the load ratings of trim chains. A listing of the last public review comments and their resolutions is provided as background material for this public review.
Note that the website listings for the documents show the reviews as ending one day after the dates listed above. This is because the reviews listed here end when the date listed on the website begins. That is, the start of January 18 at midnight UTC marks the end of January 17; when January 18 starts, the links to the review materials on the website will disappear.
In addition to being asked to review the documents to see if they offer adequate advice, reviewers are asked to look for protected intellectual property in the draft standards. ESTA does not warrant that its standards contain no protected intellectual property, but it also does not intend to adopt any standard that requires the use of protected intellectual property, unless that property is necessary for technical reasons and can be licensed and used by anyone without prejudice or preference for a reasonable fee. Any protected intellectual property in the document should be pointed out in the comments.
For more information, please contact Karl G. Ruling, ESTA's technical standards manager, at email@example.com.

I have an S60 UI application which needs to run as a system application. That is:
CEikonEnv::Static()->SetSystem( ETrue );
... to ensure this app doesn't close as the media card is inserted and removed. See http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...removal_events for details.
Unfortunately, this approach fails Symbian Signing: - "System Events and Task List Compliance". The explicit test is:
1. Switch focus to Task List (by holding down the S60 Applications key).
2. Close application from Task List using the 'c' or back key.
Is there some way to register for this system event and determine if it is a card removal which I need to ignore or the key event which I want to address?
[aside: At this point, the astute reader is wonder why I did write this as a console application. Here(
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...922#post426922) is a post which talks about the pitfalls. While it sounds possible, it sounds difficult too. The deadline will not give me time to revisit this issue. ]
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Dave Burnley column: Burnley old boys are regular scorers
3:20pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Sport By Dave Burnley
BURNLEY got off to a marvellous start to the New Year with their 3-2 victory over Huddersfield Town at Turf Moor.
And if we do have to concede a couple of goals in the process, they might as well be scored by an ex-Claret. Although, I bet Martin Paterson must have been thinking what might have been had he stayed at our club.
After facing former captain Chris McCann against Wigan in the previous game, we were always in line to have a third consecutive recent, former player in opposition when we were drawn against Southampton in the third round of the FA Cup with Jay Rodriguez likely to play at some point.
The Clarets once again saved themselves for a second half comeback after going in 2-0 down at the break. A classic cup tie with some real quality goals scored by both side saw the Saints eventually triumph by the odd goal in seven.
Danny Ings scored against the team he supported as a kid, with our very own Jay-Rod reciprocating with one of his own.
Local lad come good, and his subsequent meteoric rise to a full England international proudly being acknowledged by the proud 800 or so travelling faithful.
A valiant effort, best summed up by Sean Dyche who said: "If there is such a thing as losing the game the right way, then that was it."
With all distractions out of the way we can solely focus on our dream of promotion back to the Premier League as we head to a new ground and the delights of Yeovil.

PHOENIX (AP) - The political action committee of Republican Gov. Jan Brewer is paying for mailers for or against candidates in two more Arizona congressional races.
The Center for Responsible Politics reports that Brewer's "Jan Pac" has spent nearly $27,000 on mailers supporting Republican Martha McSally in the 2nd Congressional District and nearly $36,000 on mailers opposing Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick in the 1st Congressional District.
That follows over $23,000 of spending reported earlier this month on mailers opposing Democrat Kyrsten Sinema in the 9th Congressional District.

Hernando County deputies have arrested 52-year-old Sylvester Kulaga.
They say he nearly pulled off a heinous double murder; the kind seen in horror movies.
According to investigators, three days after getting out of jail on drug and larceny charges, Kulaga broke into his ex's house where he used to live.
They say he kicked in the bedroom door then sprayed his ex, Lisa Massey, and her new boyfriend, James Mullis, with lighter fluid while they were in bed.
Deputies say after dousing them, he grabbed a can of spray paint and a lighter, then tried to set them on fire.
Fortunately, it didn't work.
Massey then began to fight with him. A roommate also came in to help.
After a struggle, they were eventually able to get him out without anyone getting seriously hurt.
Deputies say Kulaga then took off.
"He obviously went there with intent," said Public Information Officer Denise Moloney.
"Could've been a bad situation if he was successful," she said.
He faces two counts of attempted first degree murder and battery charges.
Deputies had considered him very dangerous. Folks nearby are thankful he's not a threat anymore.
"When they got that kind of anger they don't give up," said neighbor Carol Archambeault.

Sore nipples are probably the most common difficulty mothers have when breastfeeding. Sore nipples may be caused by different factors. Determining the cause of sore nipples can be difficult. Talk with your health care provider or lactation consultant for an evaluation and suggestions on how to resolve the problem.
Breastfeeding should not hurt, and the skin on your nipple should not break down any more than the skin anywhere on your body should break down. However, mild tenderness is fairly common for the first week or two of breastfeeding. Then it should go away.
If your nipples feel painfully sore or the nipples or areola feel bruised, it is more likely that it is related to an improper latch-on process or ineffective sucking. Suspect a difficulty with baby's latch or sucking if your nipples become very red, raw, blistered, or cracked. A latch or sucking difficulty or a structural variation in the baby's mouth might result in nipples that look creased or blanched (turn white) at the end of feedings. Certain creams or dressings may promote healing, but others can actually cause more damage. Also, avoid any treatment that might result in drying the nipple tissue, which may lead to cracking of the skin.
When nipples become red and burn, or feel extremely sore after weeks or months of pain-free breastfeeding, it may be due to a yeast infection, such as thrush. Yeast may appear as white patches in the baby's mouth or it may show up as a bright red diaper rash. Specific medications are needed to treat yeast infections. Contact your baby's doctor for more information and treatment.

A Glendora man set out to break a Guinness World Record on Sunday, hugging more than 3,000 people in memory of a friend who died of cancer.
A team of volunteers rallied to support Dave Parsons, who stood on a red carpet at the ESPN Zone in downtown Los Angeles in an attempt to break the record for most hugs by an individual in 24 hours.
The attempt was inspired by Parson's friend Sharon Perkins, a 24-year-old Azusa Pacific graduate who died on Jan. 8, 2011, after a lengthy bout with cancer.
"I had no idea it was going to be our last goodbye, our last hug," Parsons said.
In Perkins' memory, Parsons set up the Sunday-to-Monday attempt, coinciding with National Hug Day.
Parsons ultimately logged 3,162 hugs, less than the standing record of 8,709 hugs, set in Tennessee in 2010.
"The goal is to get 10,000 hugs in 24 hours but more importantly, to raise funds and awareness for an organization called Grants Wishes," he said.
The nonprofit is named after Grant Sullivan, a 6-year-old who died in 2002. The organization helps children in four Southern California hospitals.
"This (Hug 4 Wishes) will really let more people know about us," Grant's mother Lori Sullivan said. "We're a small organization and we have a small overhead, so we can say 100 percent of our funds can support all of our wishes."
Parsons and a group of volunteers set up on the corner of Figueroa and 11th streets to recruit hugs, with two video cameras and a professional photographer recording the full 24-hour span to submit to Guinness.
The team is relying on donations and "sponsored hugs" to reach their $100,000 fundraising goal, which will fund the wishes of 50 children.
"Going into 2013 I thought, why not kick it off with the question, what are you going to do for the kids who are diagnosed with cancer in 2013? How can you bring them hope?" Parsons said. "Why not start with National Hug Day?"

PFW Panthers correspondent Darin Gantt reports that recent free-agent signee DT Ron Edwards has suffered a torn triceps, an injury that likely will sideline him for a year.
Edwards, a 10-year NFL veteran, signed a three-year, $8.25 million deal with the Panthers, with the expectation that he would help shore up a run defense that ranked 23rd in the league last season.
He was a starter in four of his five seasons in Kansas City, including 2010, when he started 15 games, made 26 tackles and added two sacks.
No other defensive tackle on the team has more than two years of NFL experience. Third-round rookie Sione Fua, of Stanford, and second-year pro Corvey Irvin might be next in line for the starting job.
Also at practice Friday, the Panthers' sixth-round pick, OL Zack Williams, suffered a torn ACL, ending his season.

Key Tips and How-Tos
Work through partners to find leaders and instructors
Identify other sources of leaders and instructors
Develop an ongoing promotion and recruitment plan
Identify your personnel needs
- Determine the scope of your recruitment efforts:
- How many programs are you recruiting for?
- How many classes and locations within each program do you want to offer?
- Identify what types of people and qualifications you need. Review the position descriptions to help you determine good candidates.
AF Aquatic Instructor WORD, Aquatic PDF; AF Exercise WORD, Exercise PDF;and AF Self-Help WORD, Self-Help PDF position descriptions
- If you need teams of people to teach the AF Self-Help Course you may want to focus on recruiting more lay people with arthritis.
- If you want more AF Exercise Program instructors, you may want to focus on recruiting more individuals with an exercise or fitness background.
- If you intend to offer the programs to a specific audience, for example a young adult or culturally diverse population, you'll want to recruit representatives from that target population.
Work through partners to find leaders and instructors
- It is easier to sustain the programs with leaders and instructors who are affiliated with a specific organization, particularly system partners and other large facilities where there is an existing collaboration to do the AF programs. If you are a partnering agency, start your recruitment efforts by looking within. Do you have staff or volunteers or other constituents who would be good candidates to be trained?
- Consider other existing collaborative relationships as sources of program personnel. For example, consider:
- A large business or worksite that has partnered with the AF to form an Arthritis Walk team. They also may be interested in getting some of their staff trained to offer an AF program to their employees.
- An organization like the office of services to the aging that is a member of the state arthritis coalition and/or has been collaborating with the state health department on chronic disease programs for the elderly. They might be interested in adding arthritis programs.
- Brainstorm with other AF and state health department staff about potential agencies that may be able to assist you with recruiting appropriate people or who have existing staff and/or volunteers who may be appropriate people to recruit.
Your focus should be on recruiting individuals who are affiliated with a specific collaborating agency. You might need to cast a wider net, especially when working in a new area where you do not have any partners or if you need to augment the resources available through your own organization and your partnering agencies. When recruiting individuals who are not affiliated with a partner organization, remember that an important quality control mechanism is to obtain a signed co-sponsorship agreement from the location where the individual will be teaching the program PRIOR to training.
Identify other sources of leaders and instructors
- Examine other existing connections with people.
- Current and past program instructors, leaders and trainers might be interested in cross-training to do another program. They might also be able to suggest others they know who could be recruited.
- Other involved persons such as AF Chapter walkers, runners and other special events volunteers and participants that meet the instructor qualifications might be interested in taking their involvement to the next level.
- People with arthritis who are already involved with the AF and/or have been program participants can be a great fit. Since we know from the 2006 AF-CDC Program Needs Assessment Survey that 49% of the surveyed leaders and instructors have arthritis, this seems like an ideal place to recruit. They are already familiar with AF programs and have benefited from their participation. For instance, the AF Southern California chapter has been successful in recruiting potential volunteers from the chapter's strong young adult network.
- Consider where you can reach groups of the types of people who might be interested and have the qualifications to do the programs. According to the 2006 Needs Assessment Survey, 45% of the surveyed leaders and instructors are in the exercise, fitness, recreational or aquatic field. Another 8% are nurses, 8% are teachers, 5% are physical therapists, 5% are health educators, 4% are occupational therapists and 12% are retired. Find out how you can strategically target these groups. For example, you might be able to reach them through their member mailing lists and organizational meetings.
- When you are trying to move into a new area and/or reach a specific population, learn as much as you can about the community and NETWORK:
- Perform a community assessment to learn about key agencies and individuals.
- Read newspapers and other print media available in the community and stay informed about activities where there might be large groups of potential qualified candidates.
- Visit Health and Fitness Expos, health fairs at large employer groups and hospital systems, community and organizational meetings, etc.
Develop an ongoing promotion and recruitment plan
- While you will intensify your recruitment efforts whenever you plan a training workshop, you should also create a promotional plan that will incorporate ongoing efforts to reach instructors/leaders as well.
Sample promotional strategies
Develop a comprehensive approach that includes multiple strategies such as:
- Recruiting through your system and other existing partners. For example, the New York State Health Department worked through their state rural health network and area agencies on aging.
- Distributing recruitment brochures or flyers to key organizations, contacts and prospects along with training workshop information.
Leader/Instructor Recruitment Brochure
AF Michigan Chapter Aquatic, Exercise and Self-Help Recruitment/ Starter Kits
AF Pacific Northwest Chapter Flyer
- Placing an appeal in your chapter newsletter. Profile existing leaders and trainers in a newsletter article and include a recruitment message, like "you, too, can change lives by becoming..." Create a business card sized recruitment ad that can be used as "fill" whenever extra space exists in the newsletter.
- Cross-marketing to existing program personnel, AF volunteers and program and special event participants:
Provide recruitment information at AF special events and program classes.
- Three months prior to a training workshop, request a query from the AF Team Approach customer database of former special event and program participants and contact them regarding their interest in your upcoming training.
- Encouraging word of mouth. Ask existing trainers and program personnel and class participants to ask someone they know to become a program leader or instructor.
- Using medical contacts. Promote to people with arthritis and health professionals through existing relationships with rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, other physicians and medical groups.
- Marketing through professional groups and academic institutions:
- Promote the programs through professional organizations' member mailing lists. Look at state professional organizations, retired teachers associations, corporate retiree groups, etc. for their mailing lists. For example, the AF New York Chapter distributed a recruitment flyer through mailing lists for physical therapists, occupational therapists, physician assistants, registered dietitians and other groups. The chapter also attends allied health professional association meetings each year to recruit new instructors. A similar approach was used in Nebraska. To learn more, click here
- Provide a booth or presentation at the organization's annual meeting.
- Approach college faculty and students in related fields about their interest in a teaching or community services opportunity. For example, the AF Tennessee Chapter developed a relationship with a local university through the chair of their public health committee which resulted in the successful recruitment of physical therapy and occupational therapy students who were trained to conduct the AF Self-Help Program and AF Exercise Program classes. The AF Massachusetts Chapter also had a successful experience with a community college.
See: Examples from the Field to learn more about the AF Massachusetts experience
- Conducting community outreach activities. For example, ask current instructors and trainers to make presentations to relevant groups such as churches if you're trying to reach African American AF Self-Help Program leaders.
Join the Program Team and the AF Southern California Take Control PowerPoint presentations for sample talking points
- Using other volunteer vehicles. Take advantage of other general volunteer recruitment efforts such as community newspaper volunteer opportunity sections and Web sites such as www.volunteermatch.com
See: Supplementary Resources for other helpful Web sites
Implement your plan
- After you have selected the appropriate promotional and recruitment strategies, you need to develop a timeline, assign the tasks to specific individuals and ensure that you have the budget for any promotional materials and activities such as mailings of the recruitment brochure.
- Whether individuals come to you with an interest in getting trained, or you've gone to them to promote the programs, at some point they need to be specifically asked to undergo training and teach. Adopting the following 3-step approach will help ensure that you are addressing their interests while also communicating the program needs:
- Open—Communicate how AF programs can help improve the lives of people with arthritis and what you are trying to accomplish with new leaders and instructors. Be friendly and enthusiastic.
- Message—Find out their motivators and communicate how they can achieve what they want by becoming a leader or instructor. According to the 2006 Needs Assessment Survey, most of the surveyed leaders and instructors got involved with the programs because they wanted to help people with arthritis, to learn more about arthritis or because it was part of their job responsibilities. Also, learn about their skills and qualifications so you can explain how these relate to the specific tasks and responsibilities of a leader/ instructor.
- Close—Ask the individual to commit to becoming a trained leader or instructor and teaching classes.
- Remember that first impressions really matter and will form the basis for your long term relationship with the candidate:
- Respond promptly to calls.
- Make sure your recruitment packet is professional and complete.
- Thank the candidate for thinking of the AF.
- Complete the groundwork that will spark loyalty.
- Recruit for a good fit.
- Provide the big picture of your organization and how leaders/instructors help you attain your mission.
- Here are some additional tips for recruiting:
- Be prepared. Practice your ask and bring the appropriate materials For example, bring program information and position descriptions.
- Make sure the recruiter matches the prospect. The best person to make the ask is someone who knows the programs and also knows the prospect personally. Volunteers are the most successful at recruiting other volunteers. 85 percent of those asked to volunteer by someone close to them say yes.
- Recruiting face to face is more effective than over the phone or via email.
- Be honest about the time required and your expectations, and never apologize for them.
Evaluate and modify your plan
- It's important to evaluate your leader/ instructor recruitment plan on an annual basis.
- Always ask participants who register for training workshops how they heard about the training so you are able to determine which recruitment techniques are most effective.
- Modify your plan as needed. Look for techniques that worked and build upon those while adjusting those strategies that were not effective for you. For example, the Nebraska Department of Health previously conducted a mass recruitment effort by mailing to professional society member lists, which helped them identify health professionals from parts of their state where they didn't already have a presence. Today, they are focusing their efforts on recruiting through their system partnership with area agencies on aging.

Plague of game dev harassment erodes industry, spurs support groups
Source Author

How harassment, threats, and hate are forcing creative people out of game development
This is a sobering read for anybody who cares about the future of video game development. As information becomes more and more readily available to unscrupulous types, we're going to have to start worrying more and more about how this affects the minds of our favorite creators.
We've heard about multiple cases of cyber harassment, such as the Phil Fish case, as well as many other events where we can assume harassment took place, such as the Mass Effect 3 ending fallout, but seeing so many examples collected here is chilling. The idea that game developers need support groups for dealing with harassment is lunacy.
Perhaps the worst part about this is that the article says there were many more people who said they'd experienced harassment, but wouldn't talk on the record. Which is exactly what we heard from developers when we looked into covering this issue on the Report. Some, maybe many, developers are afraid to talk about these issues out of fear of making themselves look like a complainer, and in doing so, becoming even more of a target.
And what was their crime? Entertaining us.

WSFA 12 News received reports of drivers having to slam on their brakes and swerving to avoid hitting students in Montgomery, along with accounts of kids playing and pushing each other out into the busy streets. Viewers say they've seen some scary scenes play out near schools.
According to a slew of our viewers and followers on social media, it's something they see every day, and they think it's getting out of hand.
"I have seen a child cross the street and almost get hit and it scares me," said one parent.
Our crews spotted similar sights near Lee High School, Capitol Heights Middle School and Bellingrath Middle School- cars speeding through school zones and children forcing drivers to stop inches from them, not using crosswalks or waiting for traffic lights to change, and even dancing in the roadway.
On our Facebook page viewers posted comments like:
"I have also encountered students purposely walking out in front of cars, including me, and then laughing about it as they cross the street."
"These kids think they are invincible. When there is a green light, kids would still cross as if they dare you to hit them! It's becoming ridiculous and they do not seem to learn until something terrible happens. Which by then will be too late."
"It isn't just school zones. Drive into any neighborhood just after school and there will be dozens of kids walking down the center of the road or crossing streets without looking. Most of the time as slowly as possible whether a car is coming or not."
Montgomery police say every year in the city, they handle cases involving children being hit by cars.
"We're seeing more students today with mobile devices, iPads and phones. They're distracted as well as maybe even unfortunately some of the drivers that are out there," said Sgt. BJ Champlin with the Accident Investigation Office, part of the Montgomery Police Department's Traffic Division. "We do have instances of juvenile pedestrians struck by a vehicle every year. It's unfortunate but it's true."
Statistics that hit home for Lee High School. Two weeks ago, a student was killed while trying to cross a busy road on a school field trip. And in 2012, a 16-year-old student was seriously injured when she was hit by a car while crossing the street in front of the high school.
They're the kind of tragedies Jimmy Upshaw fears. He works at a barbershop across the street from Capitol Heights Middle School and says every day, his concern grows.
"I've even seen kids go out there and put their own hands up or put their hands on the front of the car to stop traffic and this is dangerous. I think somebody could be possibly hurt or even killed," he said. "I think somebody could be possibly hurt or even killed. It's a big concern."
Montgomery police say they are out in school zones and surrounding neighborhoods, targeting speeders in an effort to keep drivers alert and aware and they encourage parents and school to reinforce basic school crossing safety with their children and students.
"I always tell them to be alert, be aware and always watch out for themselves," one parent said.
"I tell my daughter to look both ways and if you see a driver that you think is going too fast, don't step out and get help to cross," another parent added.

We're all familiar with the underground storm shelter. Now there is an alternative to digging a hole in your yard.
We found a man who can turn an interior closet into a debris-proof safe room.
Rudy Wright has something you might want: it's called Armorcore.
I asked him to test it for us, and since neither of us can throw a rock at tornado speed, I asked him to use a .44.
He happened to have one, and it stopped a piece of hollow-point debris with no problem.
"The beauty of this product is we could come in to your house, take the shelves out of your closet, line your whole closet with this, and now you're basically projectile proof to the extent the structure can hold together," Rudy said.
Armorcore is marketed as a sort of anti-ballistic wall-paper, but Rudy thought it would make a good internal storm shelter. The thicker the panel, the higher the cost, but Rudy says, "If you had a small closet you could probably get it done in that $4,000 to 5,000 range. "
That's about half as much as an underground shelter.
"Now these are a lot lighter than their equivalent strength in steel, which is another benefit here, because if you were to try to make steel and mount it on a door, the door would knock people over if they let go of the handle or whatnot, " Rudy stated.
It may not be underground, but it's a lot better than a mattress and a bath tub.
There is also a safe room that can be bolted to your concrete foundation available for around $5000, but you'd have to give up part of your garage to use that one.

Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue has long had a reputation for shoot-from-the-hip remarks that leave her audiences shaking their heads, part of her folksy, I'm-just-a -coal-miner's-daughter persona.
But none of her previous comments hit a political nerve like her startling suggestion this week that Congress suspend its elections next year to concentrate on fixing the economy. Listen to the governor's remarks.
In the connected digital age, her remarks - made in response to an audience question at the Cary Rotary Club and reported online by The News & Observer - leaped across the Internet and were soon the subject of a provocative headline on the Drudge Report, scathing commentary by Rush Limbaugh, and dark warnings in the blogosphere by the conspiratorial minded of the coming of a "Banana Republic."
On Wednesday, Perdue continued to try to walk back her comments, which her staff initially described on Tuesday as hyperbole.
"My point was one of sarcasm," Perdue told reporters in Thomasville. "We really just need to encourage our leaders who are elected to work together and solve America's problems."
She added: "It was taken out of context from my perspective. But honest to goodness, who would think something like that would be said seriously. It's ridiculous to have this kind of discussion about it."
But Republicans and other critics were not going to let her off the hook so easily.
"In light of Gov. Perdue's support for suspending Congressional elections, I want to state clearly, on the record, that I do NOT support suspending our next gubernatorial election," said Republican Senate leader Phil Berger.
"The next time they tell you how stupid Sarah Palin is or Michele Bachmann, just think back to this day and North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue," said Limbaugh, the conservative talk show host.
Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, who is expected to challenge Perdue next year, said the governor should admit she made a mistake and apologize. But he now is using the remark to raise money for his forthcoming campaign.
"It's one thing for Governor Perdue to suggest that we should suspend congressional elections as a very odd approach to getting the economy moving," McCrory said. "It's an entirely different thing for the governor to get her staff to cover up her blatant mistake by saying she was joking."
(Perdue's staff never said the governor was joking. The word was used in a headline by some media, including The News & Observer.)
Michael Munger, who as the Libertarian candidate ran against Perdue in 2008, said it was clear that Perdue was not serious and that even if her proposal was nonsensical, she had a valid point.
"The reaction proves her point," said Munger, a Duke University science professor. "Is that what we should all be arguing about? An off-the-cuff remark instead of what we need do to improve the economy and the situation of the country and the state?"
For Perdue this was not her first gaffe. In fact, it was not even her first gaffe that day. Earlier on Tuesday, at an appearance in Raleigh, she referred several times to Raleigh Denim co-founder Victor Lytvinenko as "David."
When Perdue is off script, it is often an adventure. While visiting SAS's solar farm in Cary where sheep graze, she commented to co-founder John Sall: "If we only had that ram, John, we could mate and have fun."
Or while appearing at a state employees health fare, Perdue talked about her decision to give up smoking cigarettes and eating a bag of Doritos at the end of each week when she thought she was having a stroke.
"My head popped open, and I said, 'Dear God, if you let me live, I'll quit.' And I quit. I didn't quit for me. I quit because I thought about my kids not having momma or a daddy."
Or there was the time, when a television cameraman, offered a lascivious "All Right," after Perdue said she would "undress" from the TV microphone that was clipped to her jacket. " I'm an old woman," Perdue said. "You are a pervert."
She has publicly acknowledged in speeches - as she is about to go off script - that her staff has urged her to stay on script. And she runs through communications staff like water - David Kochman, Tim Crowley, Justin Guillory, Pearse Edwards and Chrissy Pearson are all former communications staffers no longer on the governor's staff.
"She is perfectly bright," Munger said. "But she is not quick on her feet. George Bush had the same problem. He was a smart guy but he would sometimes come across as: What in the world is that?"
To enter politics today, one has to have "an absence of self-doubt" and both Perdue and Bush have that, Munger said, allowing them to say whatever is on their mind, when other people might hold back.
When a politician makes a controversial mark, more than anything, speed matters, said Karen Finny, a Democratic strategist and former spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee under Howard Dean, another politician known for speaking out.
"When politicians, in particular, say something off the cuff, whether it's a joke, or they're on a roll and say something, you have to make a quick decision when you hear it ... either clarify what they did mean or it was a joke and put it in the proper context," she said. "That's the reality of the news environment that we live in. Things get posted to the Web. It not only happens quickly, but it's permanent."
Several reporters did not immediately question Perdue about her remarks after her speech at McGregor Downs Country Club.
"It was obviously hyperbole," said communications aide Mark Johnson, who was at the governor's side. "Nobody asked about it at the time."
Several hours went by before the governor's office took steps to clarify her remarks. But by that time, her remarks, after appearing on newsobserver.com, had spread like wildfire over the Internet.
It is a sobering lesson for politicians.
"The worst wounds in politics are always self-inflicted, particularly when things can go viral," said Gary Pearce, a veteran Democratic strategist. "It emphasizes how disciplined politicians have to be. The slightest controversial remark and all of a sudden you have a million hits on the Internet."

Temple University's spring semester program in Spain was developed in 2008 in response to the success of its existing summer session in Oviedo. Based at the University of Oviedo, the semester program is designed for students who are committed to furthering their Spanish language skills and understanding of Spanish culture.
The University of Oviedo dates back to its founding in 1575 with teaching activities commencing in 1608. Numerous outstanding figures of Spanish and European culture have been linked to the university, and today, the University of Oviedo is one of the top universities in Spain, with over 34,000 students enrolled in 35 departments, 12 faculties, three higher technical schools, 17 university schools, and various university institutes and centers. The university has five campuses throughout Oviedo, as well as campuses in the nearby cities of Gijón and Mieres.
Study abroad participants will be enrolled in the Cursos de Lengua y Cultura Españolas para Extranjeros program, which for more than 20 years has offered courses in Spanish language and culture to international students. An integral part of the university, the program offers a broad range of courses, conducted in Spanish, at the intermediate and advanced levels and is housed at La Casa de las Lenguas, a center dedicated to language learning, on the university's EI Milán campus. The El Milán campus, home to the humanities at the university, is comprised of classrooms and administrative offices, as well as a library, video library and language laboratory.
The Principality of Asturias, one of the most culturally significant regions in Spain, boasts a population of over 1,100,000 and sits in the far northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula. Nestled between the Cantabrian Sea to the north, and the Cantabrian mountain chain to the south, Asturias is often called a "natural paradise," with high mountains, inland sierras, valleys, meadows and woodlands, and a rugged coastal area with cliffs, beaches and river estuaries. The climate is basically an Atlantic one, with mild temperatures and abundant rainfall year round. The origins of Asturian culture go back to ancient times, with prehistoric cave paintings, Celtic settlements, and Romanesque and Gothic monuments.
Oviedo, the capital city of Asturias, is situated 21 miles from the coast, at the foot of the Naranco hills. The administrative, commercial and cultural center of the region, Oviedo's active calendar includes concerts, operas, conferences and congresses. In addition, this lively and modern city, with a population of more than 220,000, also boasts an impressive old-town center, museums, libraries and significant historic sites. As there are relatively few English-speaking visitors, Oviedo provides an excellent environment for students to improve language skills. The Universidad de Oviedo, with its presence of 34,000 students and 1,600 faculty members, helps to define Oviedo as a university town, as it has been for over four centuries.
In addition to life in Oviedo, nearby coastal cities such as Gijón and Avilés provide students with further opportunities for exploration. Gijón is the largest city in Asturias, and with a marina, beaches and frequent cultural events and expositions, it is the main tourist destination of the region. Avilés is close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the region, and its medieval quarter has been named a site of historic artistic heritage.
The Temple in Spain spring semester program is comprised of coursework in Spanish language, literature, translation, history, art and culture. Courses are taught by native Spanish-speaking professors of the University of Oviedo, and by Temple University faculty member Dr. Jaime Durán. All students enroll in a program track, depending on their Spanish language background, and take five courses within that track for a total of fifteen semester hours.
Temple students who successfully complete the Temple in Spain semester program automatically satisfy the International Studies requirement of the Core Curriculum or the World Society requirement of Gen Ed.
In addition to academic courses, the university's Casa de las Lenguas offers cultural programming and organized leisure activities, providing students additional opportunities to acquire in-depth knowledge of various aspects of Spanish and Asturian culture. The programs and activities also serve to strengthen students' Spanish language proficiency outside of a formal classroom setting. For one week during the program, students participate in a non-credit enrichment workshop which, in the past, has included themes such as dance, short story, photography, cartoons and cooking. La Casa de las Lenguas also hosts a film series and short story and photography competitions, and organizes visits to sites of interest studied in class. Programs which facilitate connections between international and Spanish students, including a language partner conversation exchange, are also coordinated by La Casa de las Lenguas.
A special feature of the program is the orientation week in Madrid. During the first six days, the program director conducts an orientation program, which includes exploration of Madrid and surrounding areas such as Toledo, Segovia and Avila, before traveling to Oviedo to begin classes.
Dr. Jaime Durán is a native of Oviedo and studied as an undergraduate at the University of Oviedo. He obtained his PhD in Spanish from Temple University, where he currently teaches. Dr. Durán developed Temple's Spain summer program as well as the spring semester program. He has directed and taught in the summer program for ten years and the spring semester program for the past five.

As the Pontiac School District prepares to make millions in budget cuts that are likely to impact salaries and benefits, many teachers called in sick on Friday.
ōThere seems to be a bug infecting Pontiac teachers today. Many are absent,ö said Michigan Education Association UniServ Director Dan McCarthy. The absences, he said, can be chalked up to ōmorale and trying to balance a $37 million deficit on the backs of teachers.ö
Superintendent Kelley Williams said at a recent school board meeting that Friday was the deadline to make $10 million in cuts as part of the consent agreement signed with the state after Gov. Rick Snyder found a financial emergency within the district. Williams said that if the cuts couldnÆt be found elsewhere, employees would see a 25 percent pay cut and 32 percent benefit cut.
Colleen Kavanagh, the parent of two students in the district, said her son called her from Pontiac Middle School on Friday morning and told her that all ninth graders were in one classroom without supervision. Kavanagh said she was one of many parents who picked their children up early from the middle school. She then headed to Whitmer Human Resources Center, where her youngest son is a student.
ōThey had both of the sixth grade classes in the cafeteria waiting for someone to come and teach them,ö Kavanagh said. ōThereÆs no way learning was going on today.ö
Kavanagh said both of her childrenÆs teachers do a good job.
ōIf I was a teacher, I would have done the same thing,ö she said. ōWe all know the teachers are scared. TheyÆre losing out, now our kids are losing out. ItÆs sad. ItÆs a sad, sad situation.ö
Williams and state-appointed consultant Don Weatherspoon had said if they showed a commitment to cutting costs that the Michigan Department of Treasury might allow the district some flexibility.
Williams, who couldnÆt be reached for comment Friday, suggested at the time that grant funding could be used to pay some administrative and teacher salaries in order to reduce the strain on the districtÆs general fund.
McCarthy said that at last-minute bargaining on Thursday, ōWe were told for purposes of bargaining, that was the deadline and we did not reach a deal.ö
The union representative gave Williams credit for working with the teacherÆs union to negotiate a variety of concessions and changes that would prevent the large cut in salaries.
However, the districtÆs proposal to lower the cap on what the district would contribute to health benefits by 32 percent is what aborted bargaining.
The cost of health insurance would double and be prohibitive for many employees, one of whom McCarthy said was already paying $8,000 for her annual health premium.
ōLast time we bargained, we gave concessions in salary and benefits of 15 percent,ö McCarthy said, adding that the teachers are willing to return to the bargaining table.
A parent of a Pontiac High School student who asked not to be named said he picked his daughter up early from the school, which he said was ōa messö because of the lack of staff.
ōIf I was one of the teachers in that school, I would have done exactly the same thing in protest,ö he said. ōNo oneÆs going to put up with a 25 percent pay cut. The school superintendent certainly wouldnÆt.ö
Superintendent Williams recently received a $15,000 salary increase, to $135,000, when the school board promoted her from interim superintendent to superintendent.
A junior at Pontiac High School tweeted Friday that about 10 teachers were at the school, with about 30 absent and classes either unstaffed or manned by substitutes. Students were generally staying in school through the day, the student said.
Security staff at Pontiac High School said Friday that the atmosphere was orderly and students were in class.
Kavanagh said she hopes the situation in classrooms will be different Monday.
ōIf itÆs not, IÆm going to have to pull my kids out of Pontiac schools,ö she said. ōThatÆs sad because I work here, I live here and school just started. They should have taken care of this during the summertime.ö
The Pontiac Board of Education is scheduled to meet Monday.
Facing pay cuts, many Pontiac teachers stay home Friday
As the Pontiac School District prepares to make millions in budget cuts that are likely to impact salaries and benefits, many teachers called in sick on Friday.

mise à jour :
It's November 2010 and Mat. McHugh is just home from an intense international tour to promote The Beautiful Girls (TBG) fourth album Spooks. You might expect that Mat. would cruise back into the Aussie summer and kick around the Northern Beaches of Sydney for a healthy dose sun and surf. Not the case. Leaving the band behind for some well-deserved R and R, McHugh jumps straight back on a plane headed for New York City to join fellow Aussie's the John Butler Trio for a theatre tour across the USA and Canada. With just an acoustic guitar and some winter threads, Mat. takes to the stages with a handful of reworked TBG songs from way back in the 'Morning Sun' days through to the present. And he loves it. He revels in the challenge, soaks up the vibe and responds in kind to the huge appreciation of the audience. It's an awakening and a timely reminder of where a lot of the early acoustic songs came from in the first place.
Fresh back from the tour Mat heads straight for his home studio energized, inspired and in touch with his musical roots. A couple of months later and most of what will surely become Mat's new solo album has taken shape. First things first though – June 2011 will see both a brand new 4-track EP international release entitled 'Go Don't Stop' and a return to the USA and Canada for a headlining summer tour including performances at Electric Forest, Wakarusa and all of his favourite haunts across North America. Shows will be a stripped back and intimate acoustic performance of songs spanning 10 years, five albums and a whole lot o' miles. Both a retrospective of the man behind 'The Beautiful Girls' and a look to the future.
Mat McHugh delivers new EP 'Go Don't Stop' in June with a full studio album to follow and is touring internationally for 2011 and beyond.
