Fox-MC's partnership with Deloitte continues for it's seventh year
Posted on: October 21st, 2013 | by: Debora Charmelus | no comments
On October 17th, Management Consulting (Fox-MC) and Deloitte Consulting continued their long-lasting partnership with a session at Deloitte's Philadelphia offices. For the past 7 years, consultants at Deloitte have helped the Fox-MC MBA student associates perfect their research analyses and presentations. During the event, Fox-MC teams present their findings and strategies to a group of seasoned executives led by Deloitte Senior Managers or Partners who then provides vital feedback on both content and form. The Deloitte consultants run the associates through the same rigorous review that they apply to their own teams.
The Deloitte-Fox School alliance began when Rich Cohen, a Principal at Deloitte ], visited Fox-MC to listen to the students present their research findings. He and TL Hill, the Managing Director of Fox-MC, came up with the idea of Deloitte hosting reviews for the teams – an idea that has been evolving ever since, from three or four teams once a year to five to nine teams twice per year.
The Deloitte review is hugely important for the Fox-MC students who receive expert advice from seasoned professionals and often find themselves challenged and empowered to deepen their research and sharpen their insights. Perhaps surprisingly, the review is also popular among Deloitte consultants, many of whom return year after year, even as others sign up. The benefits for the Deloitte consultants genuinely enjoy helping MBA students tackle real problems for client firms: What the consultants have to say is valuable and the students listen!
Over the years, Deloitte and Fox-MC have adjusted the sessions to make the experience more collaborative, improving the experience for both the students and consultants. Deloitte has also been able to provide valuable suggestions for improving the Fox School's MBA program, while hiring several graduates. Looking ahead, Cohen sees the members of Deloitte becoming more involved with both Fox-MC and the Fox MBA as they continue to flourish.
Students find a way to give back through Fox Board Fellows
Posted on: September 18th, 2013 | by: Debora Charmelus | no comments
"Students realize the critical role social entrepreneurship plays in addressing the world's problems. They recognize the importance of giving back, and they want to contribute…"- Anne Bayless, Associate Director, Fox Board Fellows
Philadelphia is a city that cares. Many of its residents demonstrate their commitment to their neighbors and communities by donating time and money to local non-profit organizations. The Fox School of Business supports this type of social responsibility and volunteerism through its Fox Board Fellows program, which is a collaboration with Fox Net Impact. Graduate students who enroll in the program, the FBF fellows, take a course on non-profit management, serve as non-voting board members with local non-profits, complete a project for their sponsoring non-profit, and in exchange, receive one-on-one mentoring from an experienced member of the non-profit's board. Through this experiential learning opportunity, students use business skills to provide fresh insight to non-profit leaders, while learning what it takes to lead an effective non-profit organization and serve as a productive member of the board. Both the students and the boards also expand their networks. Anne Bayless, Associate Director for Fox Board Fellows, explains that the program is designed to offer a meaningful experience for both the fellows who enroll in the program and the non-profit organizations that support them. "The Fox Board Fellows program is great for students who enjoyed volunteering in the past but now have less time for their passion" says Farrah Al-Mansoor, Fox '14 MBA Candidate and Vice President of Fox Net Impact.
When Fox Board Fellows initially launched in 2009, 6 students were placed on the boards of various non-profit organizations such as Girls Inc., Make a Wish Foundation, Operation Understanding and Fair Food. For 2013-2014, there are 23 students serving 20 different organizations across the city in various ways!
Each non-profit crafts a distinct project for its Fox Board Fellow. For example, one students helped Habitat for Humanity develop a social media presence, while another helped Habitat refine its Re-Store business model. A Fellow placed with Philadelphia VIP helped create an analysis of their case load that became one of the foundations of a new strategic plan.
The collaboration between Fox Board Fellows and Net Impact works well for both programs. Fox Board Fellows maintains relationships with local non-profit organizations, while Net Impact recruits new Fellows each academic year. Together, Fox Board Fellows and Net Impact dream up new ways to serve both students and the non-profit community.
Although Fox Board Fellows has come a long way, there are refinements in the works. Bayless wants to create an Alumni Advisory Board for the program, so that alumni who have completed the program will guide the students currently in the program as they navigate the complexities of board governance, a volunteer project, the rest of their classwork, and of course their work and family lives. Further, in the coming year, Bayless hopes to find a corporate sponsor for the program, which will support additional networking opportunities, speakers, and other events that benefit the fellows and their non-profit sponsors.
Beyond Fox Board Fellows, Bayless hopes that one day the MBA program at Temple University's Fox School of Business will become the quintessential program for those interested in non-profit management. The combination of the Fox Board Fellow experience, other social entrepreneurship classes, Fox Management Consulting, and participation in Net Impact will give students the necessary skills and reality-driven experience to succeed in a career in non-profit management.
Building Better Business Models; An interview with Alexander Osterwalder
Posted on: August 21st, 2013 | by: Debora Charmelus | no comments
You might be surprised to hear that Alexander Osterwalder, entrepreneur and noted business scholar, believes that many firms focus too much attention on selling their products and services. Instead, he encourages them to take a more holistic view, shifting focus from building a better product to building a better business model. Firms that do this typically out compete firms that simply offer a "better product," and ultimately, they create lasting value for themselves and their customers.
In this interview with Fox School of Business faculty member Dr. Andrew Maxwell, Osterwalder discusses his method for building effective business models. To Osterwalder, the right business model can be the difference between success and failure, citing Nestle's Nespresso as an example. When Nestle launched the Nespresso brand, it nearly failed, until the firm adjusted the business model to suit market realities. With changes in place, Nespresso was a success.
Osterwalder examined alternate business models of hundreds of large and medium companies to develop this framework. Its biggest benefit, Osterwalder notes, is not establishing an optimum business model, but exploring alternate business models that highlight the different outcomes of the firm's choice. In this way, the business model canvas helps organizations build consensus on the business models that best fit their firms.
Fox Management Consulting (Fox-MC) emphasizes Osterwalder's approach within its consulting and MBA capstone course. Through Fox-MC, MBA student teams conduct rigorous market research and use those findings to evaluate and develop business models that highlight new opportunities for clients.

Fox Management Consulting graduate launches health start up
Posted on: August 5th, 2013 | by: Debora Charmelus | no comments
"Fox Management Consulting encouraged us to think outside of the box with the clients and develop solutions to problems."- Michael Mittelman, CEO of PHmHealth
Michael Mittelman, MBA '10, is a busy man.
When we connected with him to discuss his career path after graduating from the Fox School, he had just finished mentoring young adults on the upsides and pitfalls of entrepreneurship. The right candidate for the job, Mittelman knows what it takes to transform an idea into a business.
Mittelman's company, PHmHealth began with his own experience. After his grandmother became seriously ill, he saw how difficult it was to oversee her home health care. This led him to create a system that helps home health care agencies increase credibility and maximize patient care. PHmHealth's smartphone app allows a patient's friends and family to be able to manage the care of their loved ones even from afar, and most importantly, helps healthcare providers focus on patients. Instead of staring at laptop, trying to shuffle through loads of red tape, healthcare providers can now clock-in by using Near Field Communication technology, a radio frequency technology that is in most Android devices.
In 2012, Mittelman and PHmHealth won the Fox School of Business's Be Your Own Boss Bowl, which validated the concept and provided a boost to the company. The competition provided him with mentorship from experienced professionals and a cash prize. During our interview, Mittelman emphasized the importance of vetting an idea. To win the Be Your Own Boss Bowl, Mittelman had to conduct market research, understand the funding structure of his business and put together the right team. These are principles that he learned while completing his Fox Management Consulting capstone project, as a Fox School Student.
During his time at Fox Management Consulting, Mittelman, a team of students and an executive project manager developed a market entry plan for a Japanese firm. Since the company did not yet have a US presence, Mittelman and his teammates functioned as the firm's ground team. The team conducted high-quality primary and secondary research, and developed an innovative use for the product – one that would fair well within the US market. This was a lesson that Mittelman claims to have helped him as his own business is approaching the market.
The experiences Mittelman gained at Fox Management Consulting resonated with him when he was competing in the Be Your Own Boss Bowl. Through Fox Management Consulting, Mittelman learned how important product differentiation can be. The knowledge he gained by completing hands-on market research also taught him the value of understanding his product, his market and his competitor. Perhaps the most important lesson he learned during his time at Temple's Fox School of Business was how funding is the crux of any start-up.
Mittelman uses some of the lessons he learned from Fox Management Consulting and as an entrepreneur to teach to those in the QED program at the Science Center. "Our Fox Management Consulting clients and professors expected us to demonstrate leadership and innovation," Mittelman states. "These lessons have really helped me develop my own business."

Fox Management Consulting contributes to MidAtlantic Farm Credit financing program
Posted on: July 11th, 2013 | by: Brandon Lausch | no comments
MidAtlantic Farm Credit, a local agricultural lender, has announced new financing and credit options for new-generation farmers and local food-system organizations through its Farm Fresh Financing program.
MidAtlantic Farm Credit, along with Fox Management Consulting (Fox-MC) at Temple University's Fox School of Business, conducted market research in 2012 that showed that many new-generation farmers and local food-system organizations – such as community supported agriculture programs and marketing consortiums – do not utilize traditional financing options due to weak collateral, poor or inadequate credit histories, and/or cultural disinclinations to borrow money.
Fox Management Consulting is a six-credit, strategy-consulting course for MBAs that integrates academic instruction, work on a live client project and coaching from an executive mentor.
"We're very happy to see the local food movement continue to grow and attract new growers in new areas," MidAtlantic CEO Bob Frazee said. "Our Farm Fresh Financing program is designed to help additional producers enter the market, as well as to help current producers grow their businesses to meet a growing demand."
"The Farm Fresh Financing program is designed to overcome the challenges that typically confront new-generation farmers," added Frazee, referring to producers who distribute their products through local food channels, and who practice sustainable farming methods, often on a small-scale basis. "Farm Credit has a mission to serve all of agriculture, and we're excited about the ways our new finance program can help this growing market."
Sandy Wieber, senior vice president of marketing at MidAtlantic Farm Credit, said the Fox-MC team, through quantitative and qualitative research, helped define the diverse group that Farm Fresh Financing can benefit.
"The students were amazingly, wonderfully professional and listened very well to us," Wieber said. "They packaged their research together, including identifying the unique challenges for this group. The students conducted detailed interviews that really captured the flavor of the market."
Farm Fresh Financing coordinates with the lender's existing StartRight program, which provides resources and financing for young, beginning, small and minority farmers. MidAtlantic Farm Credit is an agricultural lending cooperative owned by its member-borrowers. It provides farm loans for land, equipment, livestock and production, crop insurance, and rural home mortgages. The co-op has more than 10,500 members and approximately $2.1 billion in loans outstanding.
Farmers who are interested in applying for a loan through MidAtlantic Farm Credit's Farm Fresh Financing program may call 888-339-3334 or visit mafc.com.
EMC program on its 5th project for key industry partner Aquiline Capital Partners
Posted on: May 15th, 2013 | by: Becca Zinn | no comments
Geoff Kalish, partner of global private-equity firm Aquiline Capital Partners, entertained the pitch with caution.
James W. Hutchin, an insurance-industry veteran who landed a faculty position at Temple University's Fox School of Business, was proposing that Aquiline sign on to an experiential learning program, the Enterprise Management Consulting (EMC) Practice, in which MBAs consult for paying clients.
"We pride ourselves on being a specialist investment manager, and we think that the domain knowledge we have is part of the appeal to our limited partners," Kalish said recently at firm headquarters on Madison Avenue in New York. "The notion of utilizing MBA talent, who may or may not have any background in financial services, to do something useful for us? I was a little skeptical."
That was 2008 – and five projects ago.
Aquiline, a $2 billion fund, now ranks among EMC's strongest clients, one that offers a wide variety of projects for students.
"Industry partners such as Aquiline are invaluable to EMC, as they provide the access, guidance and opportunity for our students to meaningfully impact business processes and strategy," Fox School Dean M. Moshe Porat said.
In return, Aquiline and its portfolio companies receive cost-effective consultants who are enthusiastic and driven and who can leverage their student status to get results. Under the guidance of project managers, either full-time faculty or industry executives, the students work to produce professional-grade reports on issues ranging from market-entry strategies to mergers and acquisition opportunities.
"Bright. Got access to people, and in the end information, that we probably wouldn't have on our own," Kalish said of EMC students. "Jim's pitch was, is and will be, I'm sure, that people talk to MBA students differently than professionals who might be gathering information from a competitive standpoint. The MBA students seem to get access to good information."
How it began
It all started in 2008 with a Full-time MBA project, managed by Hutchin, examining the environmental insurance market and brownfield redevelopment opportunities. The four-person team presented its research findings in a comprehensive 200-page report at the end of its first semester and designed a strategy, in light of its research findings, in a 30-page scenarios report the second semester. The team also developed a 45-page business plan. The team's project summary noted positive client feedback: "the work was commercial grade and actionable."
Two years later, a team of International MBAs explored market-expansion opportunities for Wright Risk Management Holding Company, comprised of two subsidiaries: Wright Risk Management, a fee-service insurance agency, brokerage and consultancy arm; and WRM America Indemnity, an insurance underwriting arm.
In 2011, International MBAs consulted for Clear2Pay as it considered introducing ClearPark Payment Processing, a payment gateway service, into the U.S. market, and last year's Aquiline-commissioned project involved identifying growth opportunities for Fidelity National Flood Insurance. The latest project, ongoing in the Spring 2013 semester, focuses on a market-entry strategy for one of Aquiline's financial technology holdings.
Walker Tompkins, retired president and CEO of American Express Credit Corp., has more than 35 years of experience in banking, marketing, liability and money management. He oversaw both the Clear2Pay/ClearPark project and Aquiline's current project.
Tompkins said the ClearPark assignment distinguished itself because, at the time, its focus on mobile-payment technology was brand new and ever changing.
"One week you'd decide on a strategy and the next week it basically blew you up," he said. "Every time they reached a conclusion or thought they had a direction, they had to change again. So it was very real life. The world around you is fluid, it's not static, and the fact that things weren't static, it was a challenge for the students."
Pooja Bhalla, IMBA '11, who worked on the project, said the team had to navigate its own group dynamics while managing a relationship with a European client and ultimately deciding whether investment or a strategic closure was the best option.
"EMC is one of the most important experiences you can have at Fox because it forces you to apply everyday coursework with real clients," said Bhalla, now a segment marketing manager at a global natural catastrophe modeling company based in Boston. "Overcoming obstacles and executing meaningful deliverables at every stage provided a sense of true achievement."
Teammate Dominick Chillemi, IMBA '11, saw Aquiline's ClearPark project as his first choice because he wanted to work in private equity after graduation. He now does, and he credits his preparedness and professional success to Tompkins and Fox faculty.
"Anything that I handed in for the EMC with Walker I was much more nervous about than anything I hand in to my bosses today," Chillemi said. "The EMC experience was harder on me than anything I do professionally. And I say that with no reservation. I literally pull out a lot of my EMC notes during projects now."
Chillemi said EMC taught him to ask as many questions as necessary to get the information needed – and to not be afraid while doing it. "The smartest person in the room is often the one who is least concerned about looking stupid," he said.
He also grew to appreciate the less glamorous side of consulting, describing his EMC experience through the reaction of an immigrant after reaching Ellis Island. "'I've learned three things: the streets aren't paved with gold; they aren't paved at all; and they expect me to pave them.' That's exactly what it's like being a consultant."

Commerce Chains of Power & Influence
Posted on: May 10th, 2013 | by: Becca Zinn | no comments
Business is a fundamentally human endeavor – which is to say that it is both social and political. Power and influence matter, and are a critical part of the analysis of strategic opportunities.
Mapping the chain of commerce is a great way to visualize the interplay of power and influence in a series of market exchanges. To map the chain of commerce, one simply traces the flow of money backwards from the ultimate customer through the industry to suppliers, and the flow of goods and services from originators through the industry to customers. At each step along the way (the rectangles), resources and knowledge are transformed from an input into an output, and then sold across market exchanges (red circles) to the next organization in the chain.
When drawing the chain of commerce, it is important to focus on the critical flows – not the myriad possibilities – that flow through most organizations. It is also useful to think about types of firms, not specific firms. The chain of commerce offers many insights. It helps the analyst determine the boundaries of the industry, the competitors, and the critical markets. That is, one way to define an industry is simply to identify the cluster of firms that serve the same function in a chain of commerce, serve the same customers, and compete to control enough of the space to capture value effectively.
For example, in the book industry, the core publishers control packaging, editing, wholesaling and sales, but there are niche firms that specialize in each of these activities. The industry includes all of these firms, but the critical markets turn out to be the market between authors and publishers and the market between publishers and retailers. The firms that can control these can capture a disproportionate share of the resources flowing through the chain.
As the above diagram illustrates, money talks – or at least indicates who has negotiating power. But this picture is only a snapshot – one that was accurate in about 2000. Before 2000, the publisher controlled as much as $7.00 of the $10.00 paid by a reader; by 2010, the publisher's portion was closer to $3.00. What happened?
As useful as the initial picture is, the real value of analyzing the commerce chain has to do with how power and influence evolve. There is nothing automatic or static about such a chain. Instead, external and internal forces constantly push and pull on the chain, leading to broken, rearranged and otherwise changing links. Chains evolve over time to fit specific contexts,* as do their norms, cultures, technologies and dominant players.
Thus, for nearly 100 years, the publisher controlled the chain of commerce and commanded the lion's share of the resources flowing through it. They did this in two ways: by being the broker between authors and readers, and by providing the capital required to convert ideas and images into commodities to be bought and sold. One norm that emerged during this period was the norm that wholesalers could buy books at a steeper discount than retailers. Eventually, retailers (starting with Borders, but soon including Barnes & Noble), opened their own warehouses and demanded wholesale discounts – a battle they won once their chains grew to enough scale. This shift in power towards the retailer resulted in a wave of consolidation amongst publishers, and squeezed out the independent sales groups and wholesalers.
The struggle also opened an opportunity for a new entrant, Amazon, to open an alternative, online channel to customers. In fact, Amazon was welcomed by publishers as a lever in the struggle with the large chains – until it became so large that it began demanding even larger discounts than the retailers! Feeling the heat, retailers and publishers even tried merging – eg., Borders merged with German publisher Bertelsmann – although today, only the largest publishers, Amazon and Barnes & Noble are still standing in the US market.
But amidst the rubble are numerous small publishers, retailers, online distributors, and even packagers of new, multi-media offerings. Are these the beginnings of a new order in publishing, or mere left overs? This is where the chain of commerce tool can help.
– TL Hill, Managing Director
*To take a small example, probably as the result of geography, the norm in the UK is for the publisher to bear the cost of shipping a book from warehouse to shop, whereas in the US, the norm is for the retailer to pay the freight.

As the region's preferred provider of highest quality healthcare services, BroMenn has cast a plan that will create a modern healing environment for its patients, families, and caregivers. The new Mother Baby Unit and Critical Care units will replace facilities built 30-40 years ago. The plan is synchronized with the major expansion completed in 2003 that constructed a larger Emergency Department, a Heart Center, and a Women's Center at BroMenn.
Back to the top
The new facility will model 21st century patient-centered care that incorporates patient satisfaction, family comfort and participation, physician and staff support, and operational efficiency . All patient rooms will be private, and they will be twice the size of the rooms they will replace to accommodate advancements in medical technology, bedside care, and patients' personal needs.
BroMenn is the lynchpin of the communities of Bloomington and Normal. The organization is proud of its rich heritage and its historic location. BroMenn works closely with its neighbors, other private citizens, the two universities, and nearby businesses to maintain an attractive campus. As a community partner, BroMenn has been at the forefront of the Main Street Corridor Task Force. Building a new hospital elsewhere would cost in excess of $455 million. BroMenn believes its roots and tradition are at its existing campus.
Construction is expected to take up to 24 months and will commence after the completion of a comprehensive planning process, now underway. BroMenn anticipates the project to be completed by 2012.
Back to the top
The existing Mother Baby Unit and Critical Care units are a distance from other key support services, and access to and from these units is through a series of walkways and connecting ramps. The new patient tower will be strategically located adjacent to key services that support patient care, particularly for patients requiring intensive care. Those services include the OR, the Heart Center, and the Emergency Department.
When seconds matter, successful outcomes are dependent on having patients close to these services.
Two floors of parking recently added to MedPark 6, the existing parking deck located on Virginia Avenue. In addition, free valet parking remains available.
We anticipate the cost to be $67.3 million. This will include the cost to construct a 79,000 square-foot patient tower (on the southwest face of Advocate BroMenn Medical Center), build parking accommodations, and complete necessary utility work.
The new construction at BroMenn will not increase patient costs. In fact, patients will get larger private rooms in the new facility at no extra cost. Because of modern design, the facility will be much more efficient and cost far less to operate.
The new addition will be funded primarily with long-term bond issue and a community-based philanthropic support program.
Community philanthropic support is vital to the project's overall financial structure. Proceeds from the campaign will ensure the project's financing plan is sustainable. Further, continued philanthropy means that BroMenn will enjoy favorable consideration in the bond market.
There are many naming opportunities. You may wish to make a gift in memory or in honor of a family or a loved one. A representative of the Office of Charitable Giving will be happy to discuss these opportunities with you.

About more POP in 2014, I hope to see Glimmer, Angella and Madame Razz&Broom.
I like twiggets but before I want to see more Trollans :hmgrin:
I'm happy to see this two pack and I don't agree with those who complain to not have a 3-pack with Granita. Maybe I don't understand that because I'm a loose collector and get her now or later is...
Rokkon and Stonedar are amazing! The gimmick is present on them: good news :hmgrin:
1. In place of the useless Wind Raider stand, is it possible to have, in the same position, the sculpted grate shown on MTV Geek?
2. Is it possible to have the floor under the throne larger than...
TG, I want more trollans! :hmgrin:
Orko feels alone :hmwink:
I support the petition!

It's amazing, a very good...

None. For two reasons:
1)The all-inn option is expensive for me
2)I will buy only the AFs that I want
Zodak is my favorite!
Zodac is a too simple figure.
Stratos (he flies and he doesn't need strong ankles....:sklol: ), MAA and Beastman have some problems but She-ra's ankle is the worst! She falls every time :hmsad:
I vote for Teela :hmgrin:

Battle Cat
I vote for He-man :hmgrin:
Happy birthday Pixel Dan "The Heroic Reviewer of MOTUC".
Thanks for your reviews! :hmgrin:
I have all the regular AF except MAA (It never arrived :( )
I passed on all the reissues, Green Goddess and I will Skip BA this month
I missed King Grayskull and Faker (I bought it on ebay)
Wind Raider
The SDCC exclusive will be Shadow Weaver...at least I hope it :hmgrin:
Yes there was another trollan, but I don't remember his name.

I know many of you are not fans of other sports so I was told to keep this more or less to combat sports such as wrestling, judo and taekwondo. Adam Morgan and I are massive Olympic fans and we watch every event we possibly can. I'll throw in more but I'll try to keep this mainly in that fighting form even though that's still not MMA and people will still yell at me. I DVR'd like 20 hours of Olympics per day and saw everything outside of my fast forwarding of rowing, handball, equestrian and other nonsense.
CON: MMA in the Olympics. Who is dumb enough to think this is possible? Where do I start? Okay, so (a) you think it's possible that Matt Hughes would fight Jake Shields, Georges St. Pierre and Karo Parisyan in one week? (b) Companies like the UFC would be okay with losing any big money MMA fights like Rampage vs. Liddell for some Olympic semi-final on NBC? This isn't even mentioning the brutality of the sport and the injury risk. MMA in the Olympics would never work…. how about we work on BJJ in the Olympics? That is possible and worth fighting for…. MMA is not.
CON: That taekwondo guy that kicked the ref in the face. I don't really need to comment, right? That's bad, I think that's universal. Pulling an Yvel in the Olympics is actually worse because it's a worldwide stage. Get a hold of yourself.
PRO: Jim Lampley. He gave the best quote of the entire Olympics about the above event and it was fantastic. "The first rule of taekwondo: you can't kick the referee in the head." I'm not making that up, I saw it. If that's the first rule, what is the second rule? Don't kick him in the groin? Is that the fourth rule? Sixth? What about stabbing your opponent? Is the first rule of taekwondo really that you can't kick the referee in the head, specifically? I've looked at 7 sets of taekwondo rules on Google and I've yet to see anything about it. I love you Jim Lampley and your ramblings.
CON: Jim Lampley. "Philosophically he was a psychology major." You are the dumbest person in the world. Bob Costas was on 12 hours a day and I never saw him say anything half as bad as you said on a daily basis.
CON: The dumbest event of the games. This is always up for debate and it's really hard to determine. Rowing is stupid and horrible to watch but I can atleast understand it's difficult and people train for years to be great at it. This leaves me with two, trampoline and steeplechase. Trampoline is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen as there is actually an Olympic sport where people just do gymnastics on a trampoline. Why? BJJ can't be an Olympic sport but jumping on a trampoline can? "STAY ON THE X AND DON'T GO OUTSIDE THE LINE!" Steeplechase made sense in 1341 but now it's just track with hurdles and water puddles. I really don't see the point at this year in time. Morgan and I agree it is trampoline…. ladies and gentlemen your official dumbest Olympic sport.
PRO: Henry Cejudo. One of, if not the best, story of the games. The 21-year-old became the youngest American gold medal winning wrestler in history. If you haven't heard his story you should Google him. The son of illegal immigrants, he moved over 50 times as a child with all of his brothers and sisters. He grew up in South Central LA until the family was moved because his father was about to get out of prison. You know you lived a life when you could have a legitimate biography about yourself at the age when you can buy your first beer.
PRO: Ara Abrahamian dropping his medal. A Swedish wrestler just quit after feeling screwed by the terrible referees and just threw his medal to the ground and stormed off. Nice job by the IOC stripping him of the medal he didn't want. "I QUIT!" "NO, YOU'RE FIRED!" Well played Olympics, you're like a crappy CVS assistant manager.
PRO: Beach volleyball. Can you possibly watch this and not think it's fun as hell? I want to go play beach volleyball right now. I can dig and spike, I'm ready to go. I'll add another pro that Kerri Walsh's ass is fantastic. Argue with me, I dare you. Seriously though, do three of you want to play with me? I don't get out of my mom's basement much.
CON: Standing 8s in boxing with no knockdowns. Guys get hit three times, with headgear on, and the ref hops in and gives a standing eight and basically ruins any rhythm. THEY'RE BOXERS, let them fight. If they were gymnasts boxing I could see the point. They're not fifteen years old they're adults fighting in the Olympics, we don't need standing eight counts when you don't fall down. I won't even start with the terrible scoring system of amateur boxing.
CON: Women's shotput. This is Gong Lijiao. OH DEAR GOD. This is a Chinese shot put superstar. People make jokes about softball players being lesbians but I don't care what my daughter does so long as she doesn't get involved in the world of women's shot put.
PRO: Mongolia's first gold. Tuvshee Naidan knocked out Mongolia's first gold medal ever in the form of Judo and you can see how they celebrated right here. Note the use of the word "vodka" three times. "OMG WE WON A MEDAL LET'S GET CRAZY DRUNK ON VODKA!" Apparently there were fireworks and a guy saying, "I can't help but jump up and down!" I have it on good authority this still won't make Mongolia a top tourist destination.
CON: Why can I score as well as the judges? I don't care if it's diving, gymnastics, synchronized swimming or equestrian why is it when I go, "that's about a 7.5″ that every single judge scores it about a 7.5? I have no idea what I'm doing, why am I scoring it the same way as you are every single time? And China might have won the most gold medals but over 50% of them were in judged events and not result events. Well done, home town advantage. That aside, I want to know why I can judge an 8.4 as well as an official judge. They're over there looking at video and taking off tenths and I'm in my underwear on the couch. Something isn't right.
CON: Olympic freakshow boxing. People rip Japan for wanting freakshow MMA fights but the same happened in the super-heavyweight boxing finals in Beijing. Italian Roberto Cammarelle defeated Chinese fighter Zhang Zhilei in a ridiculously entertaining fight. Cammarelle beat the ungodly crap out of Zhilei with perfect shots to the face over and over again. Zheilei is 6'7 and towering over him but was completely overmatched and got absolutely destroyed. The ref finally felt sorry for him and stopped the bout 19 seconds into the fourth round. It was pathetic but truly entertaining.
CON: Somjit Jongjohor over Andris Hernandez. After this boxing match the announcer said, "anytime you beat a Cuban" it's a good fight. I assume he meant because Cubans are strong fighters and not because the announcer specifically likes watching Cubans get beat up.
PRO: Water polo is Hungary's national sport. Now you know…. how stupid Hungary's national sport is. Did they make that the national sport because they were good at it or are they good at it because it's the national sport? Kudos to the American team for competing with Serbia, Hungary, Montenegro and the rest of the area that's any good at water polo.
CON: Randoms…. (a) Volleyball receivers always win over the servers, (b) equestrian "individual dressage," which is apparently the name of when people make horses prance around like dogs and hop back and forth, (c) you dedicated your life to table tennis, (d) 12-year-old Chinese gymnasts, (e) baseball's mercy rule like it's little league, (f) batons for Olympic track relays…. can't they just tag each other or something, why do they have to hand off a stupid prop to one another? (g) Stupid swimming suits. How about they swim naked? I realize we can't put that on TV but I'm tired of the newest suits winning all-time records. Just let them swim with everything flopping that flops or doesn't. You know swimmers from decades ago curse every time their records are broken because of the newest speedo invention.
PRO: Randoms…. (a) My new respect for synchronized swimming, that crap looks hard, (b) Shawn Johnson's little face, (c) in soccer celebrations they can all jump on each other and do ridiculous victory celebrations yet in the NFL they can't even spike the ball. (d) Phelps and the awesome 4×100 relay, (e) no more baseball or softball. Our best players can't play and neither can the world's best when our season is going on so why have it be an Olympic sport? I don't buy that "Olympics should be for amateurs" crap either. The Olympics are about the best athletes in the world, why would you have to be an amateur?
TOP PRO: People that do nothing else having jobs. We have a badminton expert, we have a rhythmic gymnastics expert and we have a weightlifting expert. They all have jobs for two weeks as they need someone to explain crap to us. Good for you, you're making some money. When else can you hear, "oh man, I expect more from Gavrilov from Belgium!?". What do you do for money the rest of your life? Thank God these people can make some scratch once every four years. I mean is there a badminton expert hired by ESPN7 or do they just sit around for 3 years and 50 weeks between Olympic games?
TOP CON: Lack of "cock." Shuttlecock. As I watched badminton they kept calling the shuttlecock the "shuttle." Where did the cock go? It was called a shuttlecock the last time I saw it and that's what we called it when I was forced to play in high school gym class. You can't just suddenly call it a "shuttle" because you feel like it. Did they seriously change it's name just because people snickered when they said it? The only thing worse than the name is changing it because it sounds bad. Official announcement: on an airplane it's no longer the cockpit, it's just The Pit. We'll also need to come up with a new term for tilting your head to the side and don't get me started on the poor male chickens.
I can't wait four more years for the next games. I say this because the Winter Olympics only count for Sweden and Norway.
Oh come one.. saying winter Olympics doesn't count cause your national hockey team sucks balls is just weak

I'm surprised you didn't mention the terrible scoring in Olympic boxing as a con… It actually killed all my enthusiasm for one of my favorite Olympic sports.

"This leaves me with two, trampoline and steeplechase. Trampoline is probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen as there is actually an Olympic sport where people just do gymnastics on a trampoline."
come on man. believe it or not and as gay as this might sound. I did trampoline for 2 years when I was 14-15 years old. You wanna talk about a hard sport? This is as hard as it gets. Try to do trampoline for an hour straight without waking up the next morning with your whole entire body soar. Also, if you want abs get on the trampoline and if you want to build the core of your body get on the trampoline.
Gymnastics is my favorite part of the olympics. Trampoline and floor being my favorite.
I'd love to see BJJ in the olympics in the future.

Well. In normal circumstances I'm not even a little bit nationalistic. But now I have lived abroad for three years and have just cheered for Swedish medals during the last two weeks, so I should be allowed this one comment without losing too much karma.
"How about they swim naked? I realize we can't put that on TV"
You could, in Sweden. That's a serious (and incomprehensible) cultural flaw of the US (they share this sentiment with you here in Turkey). On the other hand you have MMA legalized, so we're basically even.
"A Swedish wrestler just quit after feeling screwed by the terrible referees"
Also, he was right.
"I can't wait four more years for the next games. I say this because the Winter Olympics only count for Sweden and Norway."
Ok, now I'm hurt. They beauty of ice-hockey and cross country skiing. And curling! Yeah, curling is a TV-sport in some countries, even outside of the olympics.
Ok, that was awkward.

ACK! – - right on brother! Scoring in the Olympics is a complete joke – Siming Zou (sp?) was given a gift Gold Medal – and against Paddy Barnes was given points when Barnes would hit him flush – you hit me and I get a point?? However, Lomchenko (sp?) was a breath of fresh air to see in there – - by the way – seeing the French guys dream completely broken against the Cuban (Diaz) for a holding call when Diaz held the entire fight is shameful – - thanks for letting me vent boxing issues on an MMA site – -
Agree or Disagree: 1 1
nice post, Huck. Here are some of mine (mostly con because I'm a pessimistic bastard):
PRO: The KICK from the taekwondo guy, that kicked the ref in the face, didn't even phase the ref. Nice job dude, not only did you come off as a cheapshot a-hole, but you also couldn't even pull off a proper cheapshot.
CON: BJJ not being an Olympic sport. Mind-boggling as to why it isn't. I'd include rugby & cricket in that statement, but I'm biased as a Brit.
CON: Worst sport – Tie between race-walking (RUN already!) and ribbon dancing.
CON: Beach Volleyball. Calm down, I like the beach and the volleyball, but I find the 2-on-2 setup stupid. I remember in college we would play with 5-7 on each side (just mucking about), but it was a lot more fun than just 2-on-2.
CON: Olympic Boxing – WTF!? Worst scoring system ever.
CON: Any technological advance that overshadows the athlete. Speedo suits, crazy-ass pistols/rifles, etc. Part of me thinks everyone should get the same equipment (even shoes) and then compete from there.
PRO: The technological marvel that is the TV coverage. I work in TV and I know a few people that work in the Olympics. It is an impressive feat of talent, hard work and amazing coordination.
Agree or Disagree: 1 1
I think it's a silly idea too, but your first point is possibly moot. If MMA were to make it to the Olympics then only amateur fighters would probably be allowed to compete (as it is for all the combat sports in the Olympics I believe – but if it is only boxing, there's no reason to think that it would deviate from that).
Agree or Disagree: 1 2
I didnt get to watch any boxing really but i watched the gymnastics and water polo and thought it was awesome. I couldnt imagine wading and swimming back and forth that whole time with some giant ogre dudes yanking you down every 2 seconds.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
Sorry, you're wrong about the stupidest event. Speed Walking clearly takes the cake in that one. It's running! Only you can't go as fast and you lose if you have both feet off the ground at the same time. So you lose if you happen to trip. None of that recovering and continuing to run like in a 10k run.
Agree or Disagree: 1 1
I enjoyed watching the equestrian event. Those Horses are something else.
Agree or Disagree: 1 1
I was told by a BJJ Black Belt in my area (I cannot confirm its validity) that submission wrestling/grappling has been added as an Olympic sport for the 2012 London Olympics. I was told this some time ago and looked it up then and found an official rulesheet for grappling but that's it. And now I look around and can't find much anyway.
Agree or Disagree: 2 0
I would certainly be interested in the Olympics if it weren't for the lack of cock.
Agree or Disagree: 2 0
All I can say is that most of what you said here, including being able to judge as good as a official judge, MMA in the olympics, and the trampoline event, were the exact things I were thinking while watching the olympics. I only disagree on the rowing because I like to watch it for some reason. I agree with the whole boxing ridiculousness too. Did you notice how many world records there were in swimming this year? Did you realize that the pool is 3′ deeper than normal pools? That may not seem like a big deal but the extra depth creates less turbulence on the surface which lets the swimmers go faster. Thus more world records.

I can't believe you dissed the steeplechase like that. Clearly, you never ran track or cross country. The steeplechase was always a highlight whenever it was held at a HS track meet. Why don't you trash something truly stupid, like how swimming has four different strokes. Heck, at least the walk is contested at a distance (20K) where there isn't a running event.

Agree or Disagree: 1 0
My thoughts:
Worst event HAS to be rhythmic gymnastics. I mean not just ribbon tossing but hula-hooping too?
Just think of steeplechase as long distance hurdles and it doesn't seem so bad.
In equestrian, do the horses get the medals?
I would love to see Rugby is the Olympics but I wonder if the athletes could recover from such a brutal sport in time to play the number of matches required. They would have to start the Olympic Rugby tournament 2 months before the games and just have the semis and finals during the games.
The winter Olympics is great even if just for watching the Skeleton event. I mean really, whoever thought that jumping on a sled headfirst going down a shoot of ice at 60 mph should be a sport needs to have his head checked.

thanks i really enjoyed that article. too many olympics but its better to have too much than too little.
bjj in the olympics would not work, possibility of early stoppages and broken limbs and choked out shaolins. i dont think the judges would have any idea whats going on and we already have ADCC….

air pistols are the dummy sport not only of the Olympics but of mankind.

The Southern District of Texas could run out of money to operate by Oct. 15 if lawmakers on Capitol Hill don't reach a budget agreement.
That could potentially delay cases. Here are some cases that are on the docket that day:
Jorge Johnson v. USA - jury selection
Johnson is charged with traffic in contraband articles, which could carry a punishment of up to 10 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine.
He is accused of possessing 1.3 grams of a mixture containing a detectable amount of heroin on July 24, 2012 while in a federal correctional facility in Three Rivers.
Christopher Morales v. USA - jury selection
Morales is charged with unlawful transport of firearms and registration of firearms.
He is accused of affecting international and interstate commerce by possessing an unregistered, 20-gauge shot gun with the serial numbers scratched off on Aug. 12.
Officials also allege the barrel of the shotgun is 12.2 inches, less than the usual 18 inches.
On Oct. 16, Judge Gregg Costa is scheduled to hold at least three status conferences over the phone regarding civil cases.
One is a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo, Wachovia and others. The plaintiffs are people who purchased lots in a now 800-acre resort development in Calhoun County alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. The development is called "The Sanctuary at Costa Grande."
In the original petition, the plaintiffs allege they incurred more than $90 million in losses due to unlawful conduct by the bank.
The lawsuit was filed on Aug. 31, 2011, but so far, I have not seen an original answer from the banks.
Here are some stories about the development:

The last federal government shut down in 1996 harmed the judiciary long after lawmakers reached an budget agreement. Retired U.S. District Judge W. Royal Furgeson Jr. predicts the same will happen this year if proceedings are delayed, according to an article in the National Law Journal.

Hedge Fund Manager
The Real Poop
See: Financial Analyst, Mutual Fund Manager.
Rich. Greedy. Gun-slinging. Narcissistic. Powerful. Tough. Smart. Hungry. What are eight words that describe my future spouse, Alex-from-Jeopardy? Possibly. Especially if your future spouse is a hedge fund manager.
If you bond with the above set of terms then maybe this is a gig for you. But you better want it from the time you get out of your pinstripe diapers because there are very few good hedge fund jobs out there and the best firms only hire out of the absolute best few schools - i.e. Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and maybe a few others. But that's it. Hooterville Community College (no connection to the restaurant) may have a great basketball court, but it's not going to turn out any hedge fund managers. In fact, it'll be lucky if it turns out anyone who trims hedges for a living.
Looks nice, but it was supposed to be a herd of elephants.
Why the snobbery? Because the clients expect it. And they are willing to pay high fees for only having "the best of the best." And the fees are high.
For most hedge funds, the fund itself charges "2-20" which means that they take a 2% per year fee and then, after fees are paid, take an additional 20% of the profits of the fund in a given year as "incentive fee," which really just boils down to "...and more fees." So a fund managing $500M has a solid year and is up 20%. They go to $600M "assets under management" or AUM. They will have charged a bit over $10M in fees, which pay the salaries of the financial analysts and secretaries and lawyers and the rent and computer costs. Hedge fund managers don't get rich on the fees. But they do get rich on the "carry" - a fancy word for incentive fee. And you thought Bank of America was fee-hungry.
In the above example, the fund had $100M in profits, less the $10M in fees. So on $90M of attributable profits, they take 20% of $18M. And that money is usually split among just the very top guys. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

About 200 people showed up Wednesday for the first of two public meetings to learn about Shell Oil Co.'s possible plans to build a huge new petrochemical plant in western Pennsylvania.
The meetings were being held at a county club about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, near the site of the proposed petrochemical plant. Shell officials said the potential project, sometimes referred to as a cracker plant, has moved forward in several ways since last year, but there's still no guarantee it will be built.
Dan Carlson, a Shell general manager, said the company has signed long-term contracts with nearly 10 energy companies who would supply a component of natural gas to the proposed plant. The plant would convert ethane from bountiful Marcellus and Utica shale natural gas and oil into more profitable chemicals which are then used to produce plastics, tires, fertilizer, and other products.
Shell has an option to purchase a 300-acre industrial site on the Ohio River from Horsehead Corp., and demolition of a zinc factory that was there has already begun. But Carlson stressed that's no guarantee the multibillion-dollar plant will be built. In some other states - Colorado, for example - Shell invested tens of millions of dollars in proposed projects before deciding to shut them down.
Carlson said it's hard to predict when the decision on whether to build the plant will be made, but it could come in the next one or two years. For now, the company is happy with the response from local communities.
"We're just really glad to see that there's so much excitement and enthusiasm," he said. "I think people recognize the impact this project could have" on the regional economy.
In 2012, state lawmakers passed - and Gov. Tom Corbett signed - legislation that could give Shell tax credits worth $1.7 billion or more for 25 years, beginning in 2017, if the plant is built.
Shell, which has its U.S. headquarters in Houston, has estimated that a new cracker plant could employ several hundred people, lead to the growth of related businesses and create up to 10,000 construction jobs.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Two best friends who liked to party pulled off a series of armed robberies throughout California last year, including one they thought would bring them $250,000 from Barona Casino, a prosecutor said Friday.
Robert Chavira, 41, and Ryan Alan McKnight, 35, are charged with 27 counts, including multiple counts of robbery, as well as arson, conspiracy, false imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon.
In her closing argument, Deputy District Attorney Kristie Nikoletich told a jury that the defendants armed themselves and wore ski masks and body armor when pulling off the robberies between August and November of last year, taking Rolex watches, expensive jewelry and cash.
"They wanted to live a big life," Nikoletich said. "They were a team."
The prosecutor said the defendants liked girls, cars and nice clothes. McKnight even gave his girlfriend a stolen $12,000 ring, the prosecutor said.
Most of the robberies were well-planned and were done in two minutes, with Chavira being the "brains" of the organization, Nikoletich said.
"When they went in, they knew what they were doing," the prosecutor said.
The defendants would use a stolen car during the heists, then dump that car and drive away in another vehicle, according to Nikoletich.
One victim ordered to the ground at gunpoint said "I laid on the ground and I waited to die," the prosecutor told the jury.
On Aug. 2, 2011, the armed defendants used sledgehammers to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of watches from a Costa Mesa store, the prosecutor said.
A month later, they allegedly drove down a walkway at the Fashion Valley mall and used sledgehammers to break display cases and steal high-end Rolex watches from the Ben Bridge store.
Chavira and McKnight are accused of using the same tactic to steal Rolex watches from a high-end jewelry store in San Jose on Oct. 15, 2011.
On Oct. 24, 2011, the defendants broke into a store and stole seven long-armed rifles, which were used in upcoming robberies, according to Nikoletich.
Two days later, the defendants -- armed and wearing masks -- allegedly stole more than $1 million in Rolex watches from a store in Palm Desert.
Clabby said the defendants allegedly stole about $10,000 from a glass case at the Barona Casino on Nov. 2, 2011, but were hoping to get $250,000, Nikoletich said.
The defendants set fire to a house next to the casino to draw authorities away from the business, the prosecutor alleged. She said Chavira and McKnight tied a chain to the back of a vehicle and ripped out a glass case containing the cash.
When the defendants were arrested a week later, gear used to commit robberies was found in their hotel room, along with jewelry and cash taken from some of the robberies, Nikoletich said.
McKnight testified during the trial that Chavira had nothing to do with the armed robberies.
Attorneys for both defendants were scheduled to give their closing arguments Monday.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 21, 2012)—As promised by trainer Peter Miller, Comma to the Top and Corey Nakatani went straight to the lead in Sunday's featured $65,000, one-mile Big Bear Handicap at Santa Anita, and the 4-year-old Florida-bred gelding never relinquished command, winning by a half-length while getting the distance in 1:35.98.
"The plan was to go to the lead," said Nakatani, who also celebrated his 42nd birthday on Sunday. "He's got speed and that's what he likes best. I was a little concerned about his fitness today at this distance, but he was ready."
When asked about the likelihood of a birthday celebration, Nakatani responded, "When you're 42, it's just another day."
Comma to the Top, who was a close fourth in the Grade III Eddie D Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs down the hillside turf course on Sept. 28, was dispatched as the 7-5 favorite. He broke from post position number three in the five-horse Big Bear and set fractions of 23.48, 46.53, 1:10.31 and 1:22.75.
A winner at two of the Grade I CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park, he paid $4.80, $3.00 and $2.10. With the winner's share of $39,600, the son of Bwana Charlie, who is owned by Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Kevin Tsujihara, boosted his earnings to $961,696 from a record of 23-10-2-1.
"He looked like the only speed but we were worried about it," said Miller. "If they went, he would sit. He can rate, but he looked like the fastest horse on form, but this business is so crazy, you never know…He's almost at a million dollars and we paid $22,000 for him. He's my all-time favorite. He's just a warrior, just a class act, good around the barn and just a lot of fun to train."
Tres Borrachos, who at age seven had the distinction of being the Big Bear's elder statesman, tried valiantly under Garrett Gomez, but had to settle for the place, a neck in front of 4-year-old Jaycito, who chased the winner to the half-mile pole.
"I felt myself in a nice little spot and had plenty of time to get him, but I just couldn't catch him," said Gomez. "I thought I was going to get the leader a couple times but I couldn't get my horse to level off enough to get it done, and Pete's horse just wouldn't back up enough, either. Today we were just second best."
Tres Borrachos made his 42nd career start in the Big Bear and paid $3.40 and $2.40. Jaycito, a winner of the Grade I Norfolk as a 2-year-old, finished 8 ¼ lengths clear of the fourth-place finisher, Shaun Washington. Jaycito paid $2.40 to show.
Live racing resumes at Santa Anita on Thursday. First post time is at 1 p.m.

Go Ask Gab: Silk Blouses
January 17, 2012 at 4:22 pm , by Gabrielle Porcaro
Gab, I wear a lot of button-down shirts for work and sometimes they make me feel like a man. Got any more feminine suggestions? — Sarah
I know a lot of ladies love a button down shirt but personally I have my own issues with them. I find them to be genearlly boxy, unflattering and boring. Sorry ladies who wear them everyday, it's true! What I am a fan of is silk blouses. They fall very nicely on a woman's body, which means they actually make her look like a woman! Another great thing is that they've been around for a while now (a while equals two or three seasons) and are almost at any store. Check out some of my favorites!

Before you learn more about Pascal it is important to know how to actually do something. For now, we will use console input and output. Here is an example of how output is done:
program output; begin writeln(1); write('1'); end.
writeln() displays what ever is in the parentheses and prints a "new line character", making newly displayed characters start on the next line.
; is simply grammatical; it just separates the two statements.
write() displays what ever is in the parentheses without printing a "new line character".
Do note that characters and strings must be placed within single quotation marks. You may have noticed that
write and
writeln work for more than one type. You may also wonder how
write(1) and
write('1') could do the same thing yet,
1 and
'1' be represented in completely different ways. Like wise, how
49 and
'1' may be represented the same way yet,
write(49) and
write('1') don't do the same thing. The answer is that compiler always knows the type and thus how it's formatted.
end. </source> As you notice, the parentheses are not required when no parameters are present.

GOP gets view on Senate race
Dewhurst states platform in San Angelo
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst received a warm reception Thursday afternoon when he addressed a packed room at the Tom Green County Republican headquarters.
"I was impressed," Don Miller said. "When I walked into the room I was not a Dewhurst supporter."
After listening to Dewhurst speak, Miller, vice president of the San Angelo Tea Party and board member with the San Angelo Pachyderm Club, said he believed Dewhurst was the candidate to "actually do something" and not just warm his chair if elected.
Dewhurst is running for the Senate seat of Kay Bailey Hutchison, who will not run for re-election.
Nearly 100 men, women and children came to hear Dewhurst — the first candidate to stop in San Angelo since filing to run.
The Tom Green County Republican Party hosted the event, which was attended by members of the San Angelo Pachyderm Club, San Angelo Tea Party, the Concho Valley Republican Women and local elected officials.
During his hourlong visit Dewhurst talked about his visits to San Angelo and his background — how he worked his way through high school and college, then followed in his father's footsteps by serving as an officer in the Air Force and then the CIA.
When he returned to Texas he started a business in oil and gas — a position he has held nearly all his life.
He said the basic reason he's in this race is because Texas mothers and grandmothers have started to tell him their wishes that their children and grandchildren would have the same opportunities they had growing up.
"I'm starting to worry that's not true, and that's not acceptable to me," he said. "I'm in this race to protect the American dream."
He focused on five things, the first of which was dramatically cutting spending and taxes and balancing the U.S. budget.
"And ladies and gentlemen, you know I will because I've done it over and over again here in Texas," he said. "I have cut spending by billions of dollars each year ... and I've balanced five straight budgets without raising taxes."
Lisa Theroux, a San Angelo woman who brought her two daughters to the speech, said she believes government needs people to make real changes and said Dewhurst "talks a good talk."
While she agrees that cuts are necessary, she wanted to hear more about other ways of cutting back, suggesting lawmakers look at cutting down on government pensions.
She also wanted school systems to be more on the forefront.
"Government cuts are great, but education is suffering," she said.
Dewhurst also touched on repealing President Barack Obama's health care overhaul and job creation.
A positive reaction — clapping and cries of "amen" — was heard when Dewhurst talked about defending America by maintaining a strong military and securing borders.
He said the Border Patrol's approximately 15,000 officers didn't make sense when compared to what he called New York's 50,000 officers. He suggested tripling the size of the Border Patrol by hiring returning veterans to fill those positions.
"That total cost is less than what third parties show illegal immigration and drugs costs the state of Texas," Dewhurst said. "Not to count the other 49 states."
Dewhurst ended by stressing the need to stop the current administration from "trampling on religious traditions and values," calling the president the most secular one he's seen in his lifetime.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A man and a woman from West Virginia are facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 890 Oxycodone pills, worth approximately $27,000, during a traffic stop on the Ohio Turnpike.
Troopers stopped a 2009 Toyota with West Virginia registration for a marked lanes violation on the Ohio Turnpike near milepost 133 in Lorain County at 8:03 a.m. Tuesday. Upon contact with the vehicle, troopers observed drug paraphernalia in plain view and the passenger throwing an object on the rear floor when instructed to exit the vehicle.
A probable cause search revealed:
-Additional drug paraphernalia
-A small blue flashlight, which passenger Andrew Stayton, 31, of Buckhannon, WV, threw. Inside the flashlight, troopers found five Oxycodone pills.
-A baggy of white powder
-Nine additional prescription pills
During interaction with driver Hannah Aloi, 23, of Buckhannon, WV, she voluntarily revealed she concealed an additional 885 Oxycodone pills on her person.
Aloi and Stayton were incarcerated in the Lorain County Jail. They have been charged with possession of a scheduled II substance and aggravated drug trafficking, which are first-degree felonies, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
If convicted, each could face up to 20 years in prison and up to a $40,000 fine.

There's a potentially handsome sixties office building that's been for sale at the city end of the Lisburn road in Belfast for at least a year now. It's 4/5(?) stories high, has strong vertical concrete elements in front of its glazing, is on a high position on your right as you head out of town (just past the fringes of queens, with the city hospital behind it).
It looks pretty neglected, and hasn't been occupied for some time. There are gig posters and hoardings all over the ground floor. I think it's being sold through Collier CRE, but it's not on their website.
Anyone know anything about this building?
