Winning streak, year end in close defeat
Comet guard Allyson Roberts challenges Falcon guard Taylor Hamilton during a game against Solano Community College in the Gymnasium on Friday. CCC was defeated 55-54. Qing Huang / The Advocate
Missed free throws doomed the women's basketball team Friday against Solano Community College (14-10 overall, 11-3 in the Bay Valley Conference) losing 55-54 at home. This was the Comets (15-13 overall, 8-6 BVC) final game of the season and the loss snapped their four-game winning streak.
The win gave SCC its fifth consecutive win against the Comets. Women's basketball coach Paul DeBolt said, even though Contra Costa College did not make the playoffs, he would have loved to end the season on a five-game winning streak.
"We must have spent 20 minutes (practicing) free throws (the day before the game)," DeBolt said. "It's frustrating for everyone. (Missed free throws) cost us the game for sure."
The Comets went 0-10 from the free throw line in the first half, but still held a 26-22 halftime lead over the Falcons. CCC shot 14-31 overall on free throws attempts. Missed free throws have been a problem the entire season.
The Comets' final possession ended with a bad pass resulting in a turnover with 2.2 seconds left in the game.
"We had a mental lapse (late in the game)," DeBolt said. "They went on a nice (scoring) run and got defensive stops against us."
Throughout the game CCC built leads only to watch them disappear as SCC battled back.
"We were rushing our shots and not being patient," freshman forward Jeannay Washington said.
In the second half the women's basketball squad was held to only six field goals - the rest of its points came from free throw attempts.
When the Falcons were making their come back, DeBolt used the full-court press to try to create points off of turnovers. His plan did not work.
"I think we should have changed our offense a little more when they started to figure us out," sophomore guard Allyson Roberts said. "We were panicking when they came back."
Roberts had a huge first half, scoring 10 points and making a buzzer-beating 3-point shot to extend the CCC lead.
The leading scorer for the Comets was Marquisha Jelinek who scored 18 points.
The Comets had the lead throughout the game and had chances in the final seconds to win, but could not finish.
"When you are ahead 90 percent of the game and lose its frustrating," DeBolt said. "You have to give (SCC) credit. They hung in there."

Delegates at the 20th World Petroleum Congress believe the energy industry will still be able to sustain global demand in 10 years' time, according to research from GL Noble Denton.World Petroleum Congress, Doha, - 6 December, 2011: Oil and gas industry professionals are confident in the industry's ability to sustain the global demand for energy 10 years from now. According to a poll conducted yesterday at the 20th World Petroleum Congress in Doha, 86% of participants said that the industry will be able to meet estimates for increased global energy consumption, while 14% thought that it would not.The Industry Snapshot Poll was conducted by global independent technical advisor GL Noble Denton on the first day of the World Petroleum Congress, which is expected to attract 12,000 industry professionals from across the world. The poll was also completed online by senior professionals from across the industry.Pekka Paasivaara, Member of the GL Executive Board, said: 'The result of this poll shows the sector's confidence in its ability to meet the challenges of the growing global demand for energy. While oil and gas reserves are still plentiful, the mounting technological challenges of accessing these resources in harsher environments have been an area of concern for some sector professionals. Despite this, it is encouraging to see that confidence in the industry's ability to secure future supply safely, efficiently and sustainably remains high.'GL Noble Denton is conducting three Industry Snapshot Polls this week, one for each full day of World Petroleum Congress. Delegates are also being asked to have their say on whether the oil and gas industry is doing enough to encourage future generations to join the sector, and on the long term potential of unconventional gas as a solution to the world's requirements. To participate in the poll, visit GL Noble Denton at stand number 9216. Participants will be entered into a prize draw to win an iPad 2 at the end of the show.The results of the polls will be updated daily at www.gl-nobledenton.com.

Ok people this is it!! The biggest poke battle you'll ever see! forget the turns, forget the "Charizard use WATER GUN!!! Let's just throw the damn pokeballs and let all our Pokémon do the talking!
BTW: This is my second ever flash, I only started using CS3 flash in early 2009 so don't be expecting a masterpiece here :P
(Pokemon The Fated Encounter is complete!! so what are you waiting for? go and see it :)
(UPDATE*1) Black boarders inserted incase of over enlargement
(UPDATE*2) Minor graphical issue changes
(UPDATE*3) Sync issue resolved
Ok an explanation into why I made this: Since I've been navigating newgrounds I noticed the Pokémon section titled "kill all the Pokémon" or something like that and not many people liking Pokémon. But I noticed there is actually a large poke fan-base here so I wanted to see in my ability what I can contribute to them. Although I myself not a fan of Pokémon and never really was, I also don't hate it, why should I hate it? Just admit to yourselves that everyone use to like poke at one point of their life hence me making this, so sit back and enjoy the murkage.
(EDIT: Sorry about the dodgy artwork I'm really shite at drawing pokemon, so bare with me and try and watch thanks :)
(Anyways back to this! yes in the video the Pokémon do more than four moves each, but however I have done my research on their attacks on that bulbapedia wiki (very helpful poke wiki :) So no problems here with fake attacks (Steelix doing thunderbolt or something Oo)
Runtime- 3:45 mins (Battle scene duration)
Frame Rate- AS3 20fps = AS2 24fps
Symbol Count- 845!! O_o
Production Time of Flash- 20 days
P.S I never again shah publish in AS3! what a nightmare! Just to make a button? (Again sorry for filesize, I've got two unstreamed mp3s in this submission which adds on a gazillion more MBs :P
??????: Spot the mystery pokemon in the flash, hehe :)
and hope you enjoy or enjoyed the cataclysmic battle! as the marines would say "ooOORAH!!!" XD
Im not a pokemon fan, i dislike it to the extreme. But i gotta say awseome flash skills and decent music choice for the actions. Pokemons not my thing but hey, i sure couldnt do this. But a part that made me laugh was right before charizrd fierd the flaming asterik, he looked like he was taking a giant dump :p Anyway good job
yeah your right haha.. my girlfriend said the same, i made chari charge his attack waaay too long lol
hey...my name IS in the credits!
never knew about this until i saw it on youtube when someone mention that this was better than pokemon hunter.
well, hey! looks like you took inspiration from my pokemon hunter, its a good thing I see my name in the credits cause those ultra dramatic steelix jaw pose and so on are really a dejavu heh.
anyhow, I can say the choreography is really better than mine, though effects has to be work on, ie your smoke explosion is just a bunch of curvy black lines.
character consistency needs to be improved on also
personally, I think you did exceptionally well with the steelix battle ;) cause I love how you copied all my DRAMATIC JAW ANGLES, AND MOVING SEGMENTS.
the charizard battle scene feels quite too hard to follow and tacky in some way
the one gibe about this animation is that it feels too claustrophobic, probably your resolution and many scenes has just felt really too cramped up and too full of action.
well, since this is what u claim as your second ever made flash i think its pretty not bad but it still has lots of room for improvement. flash animation starts to take an ass long to finish when you start to begin all that "Quality control"
thats why I never finish anything in the end cause I'm a perfectionist and I always want to get every scene looking right.
Mmmm haha funny meeting to you here, yes I was inspired by your pokemon hunter, but in no way could I relate to the art value of it. I wanted to make something purely of entertainment :)
As this "IS" my second flash :) theres still alot of things I need to improve on i.e smoke being a bunch of lines lol. Maybe I shouldn't have set myself a time limit :P and HAHA man yes steelix movements remind you of your own. I thought your steelix was flawless, and looked even more menacing than the original. I tried that path, It didn't come out how I liked it but, overall I was happy with the resulted steelix so really thanks (hope I don't breach your steelix infringment O_o XD
Hopefully in my next animation maybe next time I should focus a bit more on the art value rather than entertainment as I see alot of folks pick in that trend. Thanks for the review, remember I'm no graphic designer so I take this as a big compliment.
(Also hope our second pokemon animations do better than the first :)
but how won????????????
i used to like pokemon not no more it got boreing they should make it like that instead a fight to the death just about lol
not that awsome
I don't see anything special in this flash, only animation was good, but rest was like all other Dragonball and pokemon fights, nothing new and original.

You Are Here: Exposing the Vital Link Between What We Do and What That Does to Our Planetby Thomas M. Kostigen
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this groundbreaking book, the New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Green Book, Thomas M. Kostigen, reveals the vital missing link in today's environmental crisis: how we as individuals are connected to the most tenuous geography on the planet. Despite the recent prominence of "green" issues in the news, the direct relationship between our actions and the earth is too often ignored. But the seemingly insignificant things we do every day have the power to literally alter the landscape in the ongoing battle to resuscitate the planet.
There are living narratives of climate change that reveal the consequences of our everyday actions. You Are Here allows us to both comprehend and care about what's happening in these encampments of ruin. Kostigen shows us what may well be a glimpse of our future in Linfen City, China, one of the most polluted places on the planet. From a garbage patch twice the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, to the melting arctic ice shelf, to the flood zone that is Mumbai, India, to the dwindling rainforests of the Amazon, You Are Here describes the environmental crisis in a way we can feel, see, and touch. Kostigen presents us with opportunities for change and shows us how to take action on the spot, wherever we are. Combining groundbreaking research and page-turning frontline reporting, Kostigen pulls back the curtain on the most pressing and provocative issues of the day and in so doing we see the earth and our place on it in a brand new light.
"In a travelogue heavy on statistics but disappointingly pale in atmospherics, Kostigan (The Green Book) invites readers to accompany him on a trip 'into the thick of the most environmentally tenuous places on the planet' to observe the havoc caused by human behavior, from Jerusalem, where acid rain and global warming — induced salt weathering are wearing down the Western Wall, to the sewage-logged Great Lakes. He visits 'the future': the 'orgy of color, mayhem, flash modernity, and squalor' of Mumbai; Linfen City, China, 'the dirtiest place on Earth'; and the Eastern Garbage Patch, a mid-Pacific 'lethal marine habitat' of trash 'twice the size of Texas.' Post-trip, Kostigen exclaims, 'Now I see people in my actions....I feel differently about what I do and what it does to the planet.' Unfortunately, his feeble powers of description convey little feeling to the reader (the Amazon jungle is 'definitely a bit of Survivor out here') and his navely optimistic claim that 'We have changed the Earth's natural course of development' and 'we can just as easily change its course again — for the better' is less than convincing." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Certainly we need crash courses like this one, from knowledgeable authors who educate instead of preach. A Paul Theroux type with an environmental agenda, Kostigen doesn't tell us to save the world; he shows us the price already being paid for our failure to do so." Booklist
"Kostigen shows us that, in a world of limited resources, there is no such thing as an insignificant choice. Pushing us from awareness to action, this is an unforgettable story about how, through our choices, we are all tied to one another." Alexandra Cousteau, Environmental Advocate and National Geographic Emerging Explorer
"An intriguing and insightful account that deserves to be read by everyone affected by these issues which is...everyone!" Mark Plotkin, founder of the Amazon Conservation Team and Time Magazine Hero for the Planet
Book News Annotation:
Kostigen (a columnist for Dow Jones MarketWatch and Discover magazine) takes the reader on a tour of "the frontlines of the environmental battlegrounds," describing places around the world that demonstrate the multifaceted nature of global environmental crisis. These include the heavily polluted Linfen City in China, a massive collection of garbage in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas, the disappearing forests of the Amazon jungle and Indonesian Borneo, the Fresh Kills Landfill in New York, and the melting polar ice cap. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
A leading environmental journalist travels to the most fragile places on Earth to show how what individuals do at home affects people, places, and things across the globe. 8-page 4-color photo insert.
"A passionate and heartfelt call to care."

|The Runaway Jury
|This is an older book now, and I read it many many years ago but re-read it this last couple of weeks. I enjoyed this book. Its believable (if a little dated now), and interesting. It certainly made me think more about the first amendment and how it affects dangerous products like cigarettes than I would have otherwise.

Dialectical Anthropology
Dialectical Anthropology is an international journal that seeks to invigorate discussion among left intellectuals by publishing peer-reviewed articles, editorials, letters, reports from the field, political exchanges, and book reviews that foster open debate through criticism, research and commentary from across the social sciences and humanities. We provide a forum for work with a pronounced dialectical approach to social theory and political practice for scholars and activists working in Marxist and broadly political-economic traditions, and those who wish to be in dialogue or debate with these traditions. Since its founding by Stanley Diamond 1975, Dialectical Anthropology has been dedicated to the transformation of class society through internationalizing conversations about the stakes of contemporary crises and the means for social change. For three decades, the pages of the journal have provided space for comment, criticism, agreement, and disagreement about significant issues of our times. Dialectical Anthropology is committed to reaching beyond an Anglophone readership via submissions, dialogue and active participation in languages other than English, and an editorial policy that promotes collaborations beyond the traditional concerns of Western academics. Rated 'INT2' in the 2011 European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH)
Dialectical Anthropology is rated 'INT2' in the ERIH, a new reference index that aims to help evenly access the scientific quality of Humanities research output.

A device is disclosed for delivering a beneficial agent. The device comprises (1) a housing defining an internal space (2) a piston in the housing separating the space into an agent compartment and a power compartment, or a flexible container in the space, (3) an opening in the housing connecting the agent compartment or the container with the exterior of the housng, and (4) an osmotic device in the power compartment or beneath the container.
1. A dispensing device for delivering a beneficial agent to an environment of use, the dispensing device comprising:
(a) a housing comprising a shape retaining wall that defines an internal space, which housing has at its top an opening that connects the space with the exterior of the housing, and at its bottom a retaining member that lets an external fluid enter the housing;
(b) a piston in the housing that fits against the internal wall of the housing;
(c) a beneficial agent compartment for storing a beneficial agent in the housing, the beneficial agent compartment defined by the space below the top opening and above the piston; and,
(d) a driving compartment in the housing, the driving compartment defined by the space above the retaining member and below the piston, the driving compartment containing an osmotic device comprising:
(1) a semipermeable wall that surrounds;
(2) an osmotic agent compartment containing an osmotically effective solute, with;
(3) a passageway through the semipermeable wall connecting the osmotic agent compartment with the exterior of the osmotic device, and wherein when in operation, beneficial agent is delivered from the dispensing device by (4) external fluid entering the dispensing device through the retaining member, and (5) being imbibed through the semipermeable wall into the osmotic agent compartment of the osmotic device to, (6) form a solution containing the osmotic solute that is pumped through the passageway from the osmotic device that, (7) fills the driving compartment, thereby (8) urging the piston forward in the dispensing device, and (9) concomitantly dispensing beneficial agent through the top opening to the environment of use.
The invention pertains to a novel and useful self-contained dispensing device with an internal drive. The device delivers an useful agent to an environment of use.
Over the past decade, much research has been devoted to developing new and useful devices for delivering beneficial agents to agent receptor environments of use. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,760,984 issued to Theeuwes, there is disclosed a device comprising an inner collapsible container carrying on its outer surface a layer of an osmotic solute and a distant layer of a polymer permeable to fluid and impermeable to solute. The device has a means for filling the container. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,376, issued to Wichterle, a device is disclosed comprising a capsule having a unitary wall formed of a substantially noncollapsible elastic material that maintains a constant volume and is exposed to the environment of use. A textile fabric is imbedded in the elastic material to strengthen the material and act as a reinforcement. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,760 issued to Eckenhoff et al., there is disclosed a fluid flow moderator comprising a conduit that fits into an osmotic device to provide an outlet for dispensing fluid from the device. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,995,631 issued to Higuchi et al., there is disclosed a bag formed of a flexible material encapsulated with an osmotically effective solute surrounded by a wall having in at least a part controlled permeability to an external fluid. The above-described devices are useful for delivering many agents, and they represent a valuable contribution to the delivery art. The present invention is a further advancement in the delivery art by making available a novel device having a new internal power profile for activating and driving the device.
In the drawings, which are not drawn to scale, but are set forth to illustrate various embodiments of the invention, the figures are as follows:
FIG. 1 is a view illustrating the dispensing device provided by the invention;
FIG. 2 is an opened view of the device of FIG. 1 illustration one internal structure of the device; and
FIG. 3 is an opened view of the device of FIG. 1 illustrating another internal structure of the device.
In the drawings and specification, like parts in related Figures are identified by like numbers. The terms appearing earlier in the specification and in the description of the drawings, as well as embodiments thereof are described later in the specification.
Turning now to the drawings in detail, which are examples of new and useful devices for dispensing an agent, and which example is not to be construed as limiting, one example is illustrated in FIG. 1 by the numeral 10. In FIG. 1, device 10 comprises a housing 11 sized, shaped and adapted for placing device 10 in an environment of use.
In FIG. 2, housing 11 is made of wall 12, which is seen in opened-section. Wall 12 surrounds and defines agent compartment 13 and driving compartment 16. A piston 14 separates compartment 13 and compartment 16. Wall 12 is made from a rigid wall forming material, such as, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon and the like. Housing 11 has an opening 15 through which agent compartment 13 communicates with the exterior of device 10. When device 10 is in operation, agent in compartment 13 is dispensed from device 10 through opening 15. Piston 14 fits snugly against the internal wall of device 10. Piston 14 is made of rubber, nylon, polytetrafluoroethylene and the like. Compartment 16 contains an osmotic device 17 setting on a retaining member 18. Retaining member 18 can be manufactured as part of wall continuous with housing 11, it can be manufactured separately and then inserted or joined to housing 11 after the components have been placed inside housing 11, it can extend around the outer periphery on the bottom of the housing, it can be a screen, or member 18 can comprise a plurality of holes in housing 11. Retaining member 18 can be made from the same materials forming housing 11, or it can be made from other suitable materials. In its design and manufacture, member 18 permits an external fluid to enter device 10 and become available to osmotic device 17. Device 10 can optionally be made as a reusable device. That is, agent compartment 13 can be refilled, and osmotic device 17 in compartment 16 can be replaced with the refilling of agent compartment 13.
Osmotic device 17, used for powering device 10 is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,845,770 by Theeuwes et al. Device 17 comprises a semipermeable wall 23 that surrounds an osmotic agent compartment containing said agent and represented by dots 19. A passageway 20 through semipermeable wall 23 connects compartment 19 with the exterior of osmotic device 17, the space between it and the bottom of piston 14. The osmotic agent exhibits an osmotic pressure gradient across semipermeable 23 against an external fluid that enters device 17. Various osmotically effective solutes include sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulfate, and the like. Semipermeable wall 23 is formed of cellulose acylate, cellulose diacylate, cellulose triacylate, cellulose acetate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, and the like. In operation, fluid is imbibed through semipermeable wall 23 into osmotic device 17 to form a solution of the osmotic solute that is pumped from the osmotic device 17. The fluid fills the space between osmotic device 17 and the bottom of piston 14, moving piston 14 forward in housing 11. As piston 14 moves toward opening 15 it urges agent from agent compartment 13 to the exterior of device 10. Agents that can be dispensed by device 10 include drugs, antibacterials, antifungals, plant growth promoters, surfactants, chemical reactants, and the like.
FIG. 3 illustrates another dispensing device 10 provided by the invention. In FIG. 3, housing 11 of device 10 is seen with a section of wall 12 removed for illustrating the internal structure of device 10. In FIG. 3, device 10 has an internal disposed container 21 made of a flexible materials. Representative materials are elastomeric materials such as natural rubber, often identified by the synonyms poly(2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) and cis-1,4-polyisoprene, butadiene-styrene copolymer and the like. Container 21 at its top can be sealed to the inside of housing 11, or container 21 can have a neck that connects to opening 15. A beneficial agent 22 is housed in container 21. Beneficial agent 22 is released from container 21 through opening 15. Immediately below container 21 is osmotic device 17 resting on retaining member 18. Structures 17 and 18 were described above. In operation, agent 22 is dispensed from device 10 by osmotic device 17 imbibing fluid into device 17 to form a solution that is pumped from device 17. The fluid contacts and applies pressure against container 21 causing container 21 to collapse. As container 21 collapses, agent 22 therein is urged from the container 21 through opening 15 to the exterior of device 10.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in detail by way of full disclosure, it will be understood that changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of this invention.

Influencers make the best leaders
OUR world of work has shifted and changed significantly over the last decade. No matter what industry sector your organization fits, your issues and challenges are more complex, more dynamic and faster paced than ever before. In addition, organizational leaders have learned that the concept of a global economy is not just some far flung theory but instead, it has real impact right here in our city and amongst our working colleagues.
Thankfully, many businesses have been able to take advantage of new technology and in most cases, job losses are countered with new opportunities, new jobs and new careers.
However, we've also seen a substantial change in how people are willing to be led and how leaders try to lead. In fact, leadership is continually transitioning. Over time, we've seen the old strict command and control and the carrot and stick leadership approaches fall into disrepute. Team based leadership seems to be past its heyday while employee engagement is still a frequent topic of conversation. So, where is all of this going? What does it mean for organizations and for leaders?
In my view, it suggests that much more attention must be brought to bear on teaching the leadership skills needed to manage in this type of dynamic environment. Employees don't just want to be told what to do, they want to be led, influenced, encouraged to participate and respected for their input into organizational success. When this occurs, you'll see both the organization and the employees prosper like never before. In fact, study after study has demonstrated that engaged employees are more productive, have more positive attitudes, are more innovative and have less absenteeism. Organizations on the other hand benefit from lower employee costs and higher profitability.
I also believe that every person in an organization has the capability to lead at some level and should participate in building upon these leadership skills.
In particular, I believe that everyone should learn how to effectively persuade and influence others in the workplace. When employees and front-line leaders apply this skill, they are better team members and team leaders with more effective skills in developing and building relationships. Being able to effectively influence also helps individuals to develop and sustain relationships outside the workplace, at home or in the volunteer community.
According to Robert Cialdini, an author and researcher in the area of influence, there are a number of principles of influence that apply in every situation. This includes the principle of liking, reciprocity, social proof, consistency, authority and scarcity.
More specifically, having influence requires you to develop a network of individuals or colleagues who respect and support your work. It suggests that individuals who offer assistance without any expectation will often find support when they, too, need it. As well, people look for role models who can act as social proof and authority through consistent behavior. Finally, influence can be effective when people see their benefits as unique and/or exclusive.
On the other hand, the most effective means for a novice to become proficient at applying an influence strategy is to adopt a simple and effective influence model such as the following:
Assume everyone can be a potential ally
While many of us might perceive the person we need to influence as somewhat difficult, it is important to instead think of this person in terms of an ally. This perception will change the whole tone of how you will interact and will help to create trust. See the individual as an opportunity to build your network.
Clarify work goals and priorities
The focus here must be on "work" goals rather than personal goals. What do you need from the other person? What are your primary and secondary goals? Keep personal wants and personal goals such as being right, out of the thought process.
Understand the other person's world
Examine your counterpart's organizational culture, their potential pressure points and their business goals and objectives. Think about what might be important to them. How are they measured at work and what might it take to develop and influence them toward a win/win solution? Ask questions for clarification.
Become an exceptional listener
While it's a common belief that being able to speak up and hold a conversation will create a higher level of influence, I believe that being an effective listener is equally if not more important. For instance, listening allows you to gain information about the other party's beliefs, their personal and professional attitudes, their level of knowledge and their specific goals and objectives. Good listening enables you to build trust quickly.
Identify what really matters
When listening, you must pay attention to assessing what's important to both parties. Take time to examine so called "currencies" such as being part of something meaningful or having the opportunity to learn new skills. Some people are influenced by the ability to gain personal recognition or the security of belonging to an elite group. Still others can be influenced simply by your own personal relationship. Typically, individuals focus on one to three personal motivators when they make a decision to follow; finding out what these are will enable you to influence.
Confirm relationship status
If you're on good terms with an individual, you can approach them directly; however, if you don't know the person, you need to find a way to make a connection and begin to build trust. This can be accomplished by having someone refer you to the individual and take time to find common ground.
Make sure you are understood
Once you have clarified your goals and objectives, be sure to use vocabulary and terms that the other party fully understands. Put yourself in the other person's shoes, tell a story and/or make a visual comparison, use diagrams and ensure you have easily understood facts to support your view.
Be open and flexible
Open your mind to creative options, accept unconventional and unique ideas and be curious enough to discuss these at length.
While openness might imply risk, openness also enables us to learn and grow. Being flexible and open enough to examine the potential of any and all ideas also serves to build trust.
Influence through exchange
The adage of 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine' is a common influence exchange strategy that subtly creates a sense of unconscious indebtedness. It can also include more forthright incentives or exchanges but no matter what, the strategy involves providing a benefit to the other party, even when you may not have the same values. Take the initiative and make the first move in this exchange.
Being a leader, no matter what level or what role, requires that you develop the skill of influencing others. Known as a 'soft or pull tactic', it requires more time and energy, but this approach is much less forceful and instead serves to build trusting relationships, develop personal employee accountability and more successful overall employee engagement.
Our world of work has shifted and changed significantly such that today we are confronted with more complex and more dynamic challenges. In my view, employee engagement is the longterm solution and the strategy is ensuring our leaders are strong influencers.

Fremont Insurance Offers Advice for Winter Driving Ahead of the Return of the Polar Vortex
FREMONT, Mich., Jan. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past several weeks, communities across Michigan have become increasingly familiar with the weather phenomenon known as a Polar Vortex. The resulting frigid temperatures and dangerous driving conditions have caught many people off guard causing numerous crashes. At least 21 deaths have been attributed to Polar Vortex conditions in 2014 and meteorologists are predicting another blast of arctic air in the coming days.
"Winter driving in Michigan can be extremely challenging under normal conditions which often include slick, wet, or snow-covered roads," said Kevin Kaastra, Chief Marketing Officer for Fremont Insurance. "When you add in the extreme cold resulting from a Polar Vortex, the result can be dangerous driving conditions that require even the most experienced and skilled drivers to use extreme caution."
Fremont Insurance offers these 10 Safety Tips for Winter Driving to help Michigan drivers arrive safely and avoid costly accidents.
1. Start Clean – Be sure to completely clear snow and ice from all windows, lights, hood and roof for maximum visibility and to avoid having ice and snow fly off your vehicle. Law enforcement officials are on the lookout for "peephole drivers."
2. Light it Up – Before starting out, turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
3. Slow it Down – Remember, posted speed limits are for dry pavement. Decrease speed on icy, snow-covered roads and allow extra distance between you and other vehicles.
4. Look Ahead – Watch the traffic well ahead for extra reaction time. Always drive defensively and give yourself a cushion of time to deal with wintery conditions.
5. Stay Away – Stay well back of maintenance vehicles and snowplows – at least 200 feet (it's the law) – and don't pass on the right. Use extreme caution when passing in a passing lane.
6. Pick a Lane – Avoid abrupt lane changes. There may be a snow ridge between lanes. Also, the passing lane may be in worse shape than the driving lane.
7. Take a Brake – Brake early and gently to avoid skidding. It takes more time and distance to stop in adverse conditions. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake. Do not pump anti-lock brakes. The right way is to stomp and steer.
8. Watch for Signs – Watch for signs alerting you to slippery bridge decks and other areas prone to becoming slick, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition.
9. Stay in Control – Don't use cruise control or overdrive in wintery conditions. Even a slight depression of your brakes to deactivate can cause loss of control on hidden slippery patches
10. Avoid Assumptions – Do not assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles encounter trouble on winter roads. The false sense of security these vehicles offer can leave you less prepared to deal with emergency situations.
"Sometimes the best idea is to just stay home and avoid adverse conditions completely," advises Kaastra. "However, if that's not an option, the best advice would be to simply slow down. It seems like everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere these days, but always remember that it's better to arrive a few minutes late and be safe than to drive too fast for conditions and not arrive at all."

Hey everyone, I will be driving through SLC on my way back from college and was wondering if there were any free climbing campsites or what some of the best places to camp are and what the cost is for those.
If you want a campground with climbing right at the campsite checkout Dogwood or Storm Mountain. Think it's about $15 bucks. If you want something a little more remote you can camp anywhere in BCC or LCC 200ft away from the trail. For that I'd recommend The S-Curve area, Mule Hollow, or Albion Basin. The Basin might be a little snowy this time of year but I'm not sure. Feel free to holler if ya want a partner or need some more info. Cheers!
Dogwood and storm mountain are both picnic areas only. No overnight camping allowed. Albion basin currently has about 90" of snow in it. Camping 200' from the "trail' is incorrect. It is no camping within 200" of Big and Little Cottonwood creeks. Both are Watersheds and as such have special regulations that include no use or bathing in these waterways. It is probably not a great plan anyway as both canyons are incredibly steep and flat ground is tough to come by. Here's your best bet. Tanner's Flat campground is open for the season. Check it out here. www.reserveamerica.com/servlet/partner/1011/r/campgroundDeta>>>
Yes, Tanner's Flat is open for the season. Nothing in Big Cottonwood is open yet as far as camping. There are no roads to dispersed camp off of in the Cottonwood Canyons. No dispersed camping up Millcreek either. If you want dispersed camping consider BLM land near Stansbury Island or USFS land up North Willow Canyon west of Grantsville.
Correct me if I'm wrong but in big if you camp a half mile away from the road you are allowed to camp for free as long as it's not campground or anything. If you go past storm mountain and cross a bridge there is a little road up to a parking lot on your left and a trail. I have often seen people camping back there and there are a few make shift sites. Here most of the ground is flat and it doesn't effect any of the water shed stuff. Definitely check it out if you want free camping.
FYI: if you have rover in tow both BCC and LCC are out. No Dogs Allowed!
Uinta-Wasatch-Cache Camping Generally: In most areas, dispersed camping is allowed up to 150 feet from a designated Forest Service Road, with some exceptions. Exceptions are based on protection of resources that may include water quality, soil conditions, and wildlife & fish habitat. No Dispersed camping within 100 feet of water (we recommend 200 feet). No dispersed camping where topography or existing vegetation limits vehicle travel (e.g. steep terrain, trees, brush). No dispersed camping within wet meadows or in saturated soil conditions. In these areas, walk-in tent camping and picnicking are allowed, however vehicle travel into these areas may be restricted. The public is asked to use existing pull-outs off the main road and walk in to take advantage of these areas that help provide clean water, productive soils, and habitats for fish and wildlife. More detail here: Dispersed Camping Where you can go will depend if you're looking for car camping or just a bivy spot. There aren't many options for dispersed car camping in the Cottonwoods that meet this criteria as there are very few side roads that are on public property. The better options are snowed in at present. If all you want is a bivy spot you could probably use the site thats on the approach to Aguaworld and hope no one goes up there to party. Its quite nice. Ditto the base of Steorts. There aren't many flat areas in the lower canyons that are not near water.
Sandy & Midvale Walmarts are nice
FYI...in the case of the upper elevations...here's from last week:
brian: didnt someone rip off all your 8 tracks in little last year. shame about your credence cassette. how did the hellgate cliffs look on the south facing side?
on a similar note, what is the policy on sleeping in your car on the highways and in parking areas like the spruces. this might be more of a canyon patrol/sheriff question. i sometimes sleep in the eurovan to get an early start on my dawn patrols. i have never had any issues but i usually dont put the top up and just fold down the back seats.
And the Murray Walmart is really good too

Both of us have been there many, many years ago.

I stretch in line at the grocery store and I do stretches in my bed, so why not stretch in the shower? I turn on the soothing hot water, close my eyes, and do these simple stretches as the warm water relaxes my muscles. Give them a try next time you hop in the shower. Wide Squat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Suffering from tight hips and an aching lower back? Squats are the perfect stretch, and this feels especially amazing when warm water is massaging you from above. Stand with your feet wider than hips width distance apart. Bend your knees and squat down, trying to bring your feet so they're parallel. Rest your hands on the floor in front of you and relax your head. Enjoy holding this stretch for 30 seconds. 1 / 5 Clasped Neck Stretch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you woke up with a tight or sore neck from sleeping funny, this is just the stretch for you. Stand with your feet hips width distance apart. Interlace your fingers and place your palms on the back of your head. Gently press downward, tucking your chin into your chest, breathing here for 30 seconds or longer. The hot water pouring on your neck will further help to relieve soreness. 2 / 5 Shoulder Opener What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stretch one shoulder and bicep at a time with this relaxing wall stretch. Place your right palm on the wall behind you, with your fingertips pointing to the right, palm spread wide. Walk your feet toward the left as far as you can while keeping your hand pressed firmly. You can place your left hand on your hip or across your belly, whichever way feels most comfortable. Gaze softly to the right, holding here for 30 seconds. Then slowly walk back to the right and repeat this stretch on the left side. 3 / 5 Heart Opener What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This stretch feels as relaxing as it looks and is just the thing to open tight shoulders and your upper back. After shampooing your hair, do this stretch under the shower stream to rinse the suds out. Stand with feet together. Open your arms out to the sides behind you and place your palms on the wall and door of your shower. Press your palms away from you and lean forward slightly to intensify the stretch, holding for 30 seconds or more. 4 / 5 Standing Backbend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here's a stretch to increase flexibility in your lower back while stretching your abs, chest, and shoulders. Plus, it's a great way to rinse conditioner out of your hair while getting in a good stretch. Stand with your feet hips width distance apart. Bend your elbows and place your palms on your lower back so your fingers are pointing up. Press the heels of your palms down as you bring your gaze up. 6 / 5 4.3K 116 27 4 0 Read More Stretching In The ShowerShower StretchesStretchesStretchingFitness Fitness Yoga Tips and Tricks to Alleviate Pregnancy Pains 3 weeks ago Why Exercise Is Good For Your Skin (Not Just Your Bod) 7/09 Tighten Up Your Bottom With These Exercise-Ball Moves 7/08 A 5K Playlist That Will Keep You at a 9-Minute Mile 6/09 Pump-Up Playlist: Run 3 Miles in 30 Minutes 5/26 5 Minutes to a Sexier Butt 4/16 Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Nate Good - Cup of Joe
Artist: Nate Good
Producer: ScottyMusik
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.5 ( 6 total votes )
Felling sleepy, bored or just plain lazy? Well, Nate Good's refreshing new single will wake you up like a Cup of Joe. If this effort were in fact a cup of coffee, it would be black with just a touch of cream. It's an original without a whole lot of fixings; the jazzy, dusty beat from ScottyMusik is a simple yet effective loop. The touch of sweetness comes from Nate's relateable, charismatic yet laid-back flow. The ease with which he raps give this Cup of Joe that dash of sugar it needs to be refreshing and flavorful. There is no news on anything larger in the works but be sure to check out his last Booth spot (which was also his first) in Sugar Water.

Gabrielle Giffords Resigns From Congress [VIDEO]
Members of the House were on their feet, to cheer and say goodbye to U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, who is leaving Congress to focus on her recovery. Giffords showed up Wednesday for her last day in Congress.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern reports from Washington:
Audio clip:
Colleagues called her an inspiration and a blessing before Gabrielle Giffords gave up her seat in Congress.
(Wasserman Schultz)"Even as I have worked to regain my speech, thank you for your faith in my ability to be your voice."
Fighting back tears, Giffords' close friend Flordia Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz read the resignation letter.
(Wasserman Schultz)"My district deserves to elect a U.S. Representative who can give 100% to the job now."
And Giffords' final vote, just minutes after that tribute, was for a border security bill she authored.
