Each staff member is competent, thoroughly trained, highly ethical. Your recruiter is always available to you by phone and email. They are good about addressing concerns of all types, and in handling the emergent request for time off.Cons
It's a recruiting/staff augmentation firm; so unless you work in the organization, there is no chance for promotion. You simply have to go get the job or contract you want elsewhere. There's no sense of community in the consultant cadre. They pass information from the clients through to the consultants no matter how silly and incredible the client is, and that kind of rubs the people the wrong way - especially if the news is bad, like a layoff is coming or something. We're all adults and it's better to treat us that way!Advice to ManagementAdvice
They are doing what works for them, and it is working well. I prefer them to other agencies I have worked with in the past. My recruiter is fabulous - I wish she were recognized for the way she makes sure every project she send sme to is a good fit in every way. That's so important - it may be a routine for them to do it that way, but that is not the case for most agencies. My particular recruiter is exceptional good at it.Recommends

Beautifully illustrated and written with enticing recipes that will lure you into the kitchen and inspire you to entertain family and friends.
Does that sound like a tall order for a cookbook? Certainly.
But A Kitchen in France by Mimi Thorisson truly delivers on the promise of its beautiful cover. It is a large book, filled with sumptuous photos taken by the author's husband. The pictures are filled with images of beautifully prepared food, but also of the Thorisson's young children and the their new home in Medoc, France.
You will truly feel as if you have traveled to Medoc, shopped at the local farmer's market, headed seaside for the freshest seafood, or to a cozy cafe for an espresso.
The book is arranged in seasonally inspired menus, so guidance is provided in planning a meal from the plethora of recipes. As for the recipes I can't wait to try:
Chilled White Peaches in White Wine Syrup
Roquefort and Walnut Gougeres
Mustard Roasted Chicken
Vegetable Tian
Chou Farci
I have a feeling this book is going to be the source of many upcoming dinner parties in my home.
Highly recommended.
Love xo,
P.S. I received a free copy of this cookbook from Blogging for Books.com in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you, Oakland.
Billy Beane and the A's offered such a no-brainer deal to Billy Butler that the former Royals designated hitter would be crazy to not accept it.
And kept the crazy factor from Kansas City being desperate or still loyal having him return.
Sure, we all liked Billy. But I feared the love affair with fans - and front office - that incurs after a playoff run. Fortunately, the process took a few weeks and allowed some space after the World Series. Otherwise, fans were clamoring that there weren't options and we need to sign Billy back.
Thankfully, that honeymoon is over. And shows that Dayton Moore is in a full all-business GM mode. Five years ago, the Royals would've made a mistake and "locked up" Butler for 3-4 years. Which, would've been a replay of Mike Sweeney's big contract that instead "locked down" KC financially when it could've had Carlos Beltran instead.
Anyway, what not signing Butler does is:
- allows Kansas City to pursue a cheaper option at DH
- pursue a DH / player with ability to play in the field
- use the extra funds towards a pitcher or RF
What the Royals need from their signing of this DH/player
- a player who can play some outfield and rotate an Alex Gordon or Lorenzo Cain or Eric Hosmer or Salvador Perez to DH
- a bat who can blast 25-30 homers and give Kansas City a true power threat in the lineup
- a contract in the $6-$8 million range, and not long-term, say two years
What Billy Butler has become:
- a middle-of-the-order bat with no power. Nine homers last year, 24 combined the past two years
- only one season with over 95 RBI
- a logjam on the bases
- decline in production
I don't know what Kansas City will do with the DH spot. Get by with Josh Willingham or a real cheap option and ramp up for an elite starter, that's fine. If the Royals go with a Michael Morse or Adam LaRoche or whomever, its way more power in one season than Butler offered in two. If KC nabs Torii Hunter with him being a DH and fourth outfielder, wonderful. All benefit the team in ways that Butler couldn't, salarywise, position wise and ability wise.
Yes, there are good memories for Butler. Just weeks after Butler was viewed as an idle bat in the lineup, he woke up and enjoyed a nice playoff run too. Scoring from first on a double. Revving it up after a stolen base. Fun times, and its better to go out on a high note and be remembered in that manner, than being a slow lug with limited power and a big contract that ate at the Royals.
Kansas City and Billy should be thankful for those moments, and more even thankful towards Oakland.
By Chad Rader
The shine will wear off on Kansas' win over Iowa State this weekend, as TCU will take care of the Jayhawks with ease. Sure, there will be a fall off after the Horned Frogs' win over K-State, and being fat and happy in the playoff system's top quartet. But TCU will surely emerge a winner.
That shouldn't deter Kansas from heavily clicking Hire on Clint Bowen as its head football coach for the next five years. Sure, KU hired Chuck Neinas - who helped pull the Big 12 from Armageddon Day during the conference realignment fiasco - as the lead for a search, but what is he going to find? The names are still tired names, assistants from this great Orange Bowl
fluke year a decade ago. Or another coordinator.
How is that an upgrade from Bowen? Unless KU lands Jim Harbaugh or an impact head coach who will instantly turn the ship around in more ways than just X's and O's, don't mess around and hire Bowen.
Yes, like any job search, act the part. Interview candidates. Say you've turned over every rock.
But in the end, KU needs:
- young guy with energy to rebuild the program. Rebuilds take 24/7, 365 plus some. And a young coach also connects with the Twitter age generation
- understands the situation. Gill was way over his head, Weis vastly underestimated the situation. Kansas is a very troubled state, but Bowen understands the realistic timeline to recruit players and the process to meet expectations - which aren't incredibly high at this point
- someone who can connect with alum and administration, understands the landscape of the Big 12 and recruiting grounds
- a coach who bleeds Crimson and Blue, and will stay for 10 years. One fear would be a hire who does get Kansas to 6-7 wins, then skates for a higher-level job
- a friendly base salary (with incentives included) that helps KU get through paying off 2-3 former coaches
Kansas should go through the process, find a few names and perhaps a no-brainer somehow emerges at season's end. Otherwise, the no-brainer is right on the sideline this weekend, win or lose.
By Chad Rader
The 2014 season was one for the memory books for Kansas City, even if the fireworks didn't fire on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium.
What more could you ask for? Just the second World Series since 2002 to have gone the distance to Game 7. There should be no pointing fingers at Ned Yost, no second-guessing or calling out one play that killed Kansas City. No need for fans to break down what was wrong with Kansas City - though many fans already started the gripe session in all the above categories immediately after the game.
No, its about what KC did right, and they were almost more right, so to say, than all 29 other teams.
Yes, it pretty much all came to who had the durable and unstoppable ace in Madison Bumgarner. As noted in a prior blog (below), it was the equivalent of the theory that the team with the best player on the court is favored to win a basketball game. The usage of Bumgarner was outstanding. And that's not as outstanding as his 0.26 career ERA in the World Series. Think about that - that's one run allowed for every four complete games.
The 2014 World Series got everyone talking about the Royals in the Kansas City metro area, and throughout the Midwest. Kansas City turned into Smurf village for nearly a month. All the talk on sports radio was Royals, Royals, Royals and in the brief moments it wasn't, callers were irate it wasn't about Royals, Royals, Royals. And many now will figure out this weekend that the Chiefs are midway through their season.
Every station broadcast Royals coverage, crews camped at Kaffman Stadium for weeks. And once and for all, Kansas City shook the playoff drought - and in Royal style! Kansas City sports fans felt like the center of the national sports world, the nation was reminded that Kauffman Stadium is indeed a spectacular venue and many area businesses enjoye an economic windfall.
But unfortunately, second is still second. No one talks about the Tampa Ray Rays finishing second in 2008, the Cleveland Indians losing in Game 7 in 1997 or the even the 1980 Kansas City Royals losing to the Phillies. Champions are whom is revered for years. And that's why we'll still be playing 80s music the next time Kansas City makes a playoff run.
What stinks is so many things went right for KC with the Wild-Card comeback, the timely homers and great catches and maturing of KC's young stars and a dynamic bullpen and ...
But go ask Pirates fans, or Twins and Oakland fans for the past 20 years, and they've yearned for a World Series appearance. Or just recall two weeks ago yourself, and you won't complain about this outcome.
Win, lose or draw, Kansas City fans should've known entering Game 7 that it was an enjoyable, memorable season - or playoff run. It always hurts when you're oh-so-close, but for once in a long, long time, 2014 made us remember how much we liked baseball in Kansas City.
By Chad Rader
A month full of late nights for Kansas City, spending off the holiday gift funds for tickets and biting nails down to the nub will finally conclude tonight.
Not that anyone is complaining one bit - well, maybe some wives who have seen their husbands glued to a TV or the internet for four straight weeks. But they'll be on to another sport of some sort come January or March.
Tonight will be the culmination, and there's no better way than a winner-take-all, this is THE game to decide it all.
So far, while the MLB playoffs were dandies throughout, and the World Series has gone the distance, the World Series has been a set of blowouts, with a record five games decided by five runs or more.
For Kansas City's sake, hopefully there's a sixth in the style of Game 7 in 1985. Which, speaking of...
... am I the only one tired of hearing about 1985? I was for years, as a member of the Royals PR department, when "I remember back in 1985 ..." led off 30% of phone calles or emails, disgruntled about the Royals losing, or the parking was this or the ticket prices were that. Everything referenced 1985 as the last sunny days. But I figured that would fade once the Royals made the playoffs again.
And I get it, there's comparisons and flashbacks to 1985, since its the last time KC won it all, and in similar fashion returning home down, 3-2. And enjoying a blowout in the process of MLB-record setting proportions (both Game 7, 1985 and Game 6, 2014 rank in the top 5 blowouts in World Series history).
But I'm ready to kill the 80s music (though fun to flashback for sure, "Party Like It's 1985" and all of us discussing where we were at when George and Sabes hugged. No, it shouldn't be killed off forever. It's a great childhood memory for me too. But we just need to reset our reference points and slide it up to 2014, and create that milestone for another generation!
Either way, whatever happens tonight, we'll all be discussing this run to the final game of the MLB season. And it feels like its destined to go Kansas City's way, but we shall see.
Both starters are crapshoots. They could fire 6.0 innings of two-run ball, they could throw 2.0 innings of six-run ball. I'd obviously lean towards San Francisco's bullpen in middle relief with a possible Madison Bumgarner sighting, trotting Yusmeiro Petit back out to the hill, but perhaps starting Danny Duffy to lead off an inning or even Jason Vargas for an inning or two may be just fine.
Hopefully Kansas City doesn't have to get to that point. It either means a) the Giants are laying it on the Royals b) there's an injury c) we're in the 13th inning.
Even if SF lead 5-0 in the third, you may see Wade Davis at that point to stop the bleeding. Or perhaps if Guthrie gets in trouble in the fifth, Herrera and Davis (and perhaps Holland) all may come on for two innings each, starting in the 5th. It's Game 7, and both sides will empty all their chambers if needed.
Tonight will be fun, as there is no tomorrow and Bud Selig will end his tenure handing the trophy to one team or another. It could be a wild celebration again at Kauffman Stadium and - well, just for laughs to bury this once and for all - party like its 1985.
But where were you when Hosmer and Moose hugged? Where were you when Salvy hoisted Holland in the air? Those will be the questions we'll be asking years from now. Hopefully just not another 29 years. Though will anyone complain today, if we were to say, "I remember when we won it back in 2014..."
Let's Go Royals...
By Chad Rader
A few notes from Game 1 of the World Series, a deflating loss for Kansas City, but much more ahead in the World Series...
Key moment #1: Shields struggled with P3 in the first, as Posey laced a single, then Pablo Sandoval's RBI double put the Giants on the board out of the gates. Hunter Pence's two-run blast blew the game open before Royals fans even got their first beverage in their hands.
Key moment #2: With Kansas City appearing to have got to Madison Bumgarner in the third with second and third and no outs, Alcides Escobar repeatedly waved at pitches above his helmet for a strikeout, followed by Nori Aoki fanning on a ball in the dirt. After a walk, Eric Hosmer immediately swung at the first pitch. Frustrating.
The rest: Was just filler after those two innings
Shielding Royals fans: Shields has imploded in the playoffs with a 7.11 ERA this postseason. Unless Shields turns in a pivotal gem ahead, it'll be an easier pill for Royals fans to swallow when/if Shields jets in the offseason for a bigger contract. Now the question is, will this postseason cost Shields say $2-$3 million per year, as a team wanting an ace wants, well, big games from a Big Game pitcher?
Hope ahead: Though Giants pitchers seemingly turn into Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford and Andy Pettitte in the playoffs, these San Francisco starters are anything from that. Yes, big names with Jake Peavy and Tim Hudson ahead, but all three remaining starters held a record below .500 in 2014 (Peavy 7-13, Hudson 9-13, Vogelsong 8-13), the first time a team advanced to the World Series with three starters under .500.
Getting to the Ace: Kansas City finally got to Madison Bumgarner, snapping a 21-inning scoreless streak in the World Series and 32.2 in the postseason on the road. Barring a San Francisco sweep, KC will face Bumgarner again, so good for KC to get something on the board against the big lefty.
Who Thunk It?: Would anyone thought when Gregor Blanco was traded from Kansas City in 2011, after playing just 49 games in 2010, that he'd score two runs against KC in Game 1 of a World Series game?
Fire Extinguisher: The fear of the layoff was that Kansas City's momentum would be lost. In a bigger fear, once KC saw its winning streak snapped, would be how the Royals will react? Let's not hope its not the same as the 2007 Colorado Rockies, which won seven straight to advance to the World Series, then after its 7-0 streak was snapped, got swept, 4 games to 0 by Boston.
Deflating stat: In the last 11 years, only once (Yankees, 2009) have lost Game 1 and come back to win the World Series.
What's Ahead: Kansas City must win in Game 2. Good news, Peavy has just a 4.97 career ERA vs Kansas City.
By Chad Rader
So. there's been about 278 series previews so far, but this one will offer a bit of a different perspective for Royals fans.
27 years ago, as a young baseball fan already enamored with the Royals, I harmlessly decided to follow - and love - another baseball team in the National League. Will Clark became my favorite player after the Brett-White tandem retired, and I annually bought a new San Francisco Giants hate and other attire, as well as Royals gear.
Years went by, the Royals stunk, stunk and stunk some more. San Francisco seemingly advanced to the playoffs once every 2-3 years, with even a World Series loss after the turn of the century. I've seen the Giants play in four different ballparks. Then the Giants purged themselves of the Bonds era, and became an even more likeable team based on pitching, defense and timely hitting en route to two improbable World Series titles.
Sound familiar? Certainly does, and that's what makes this World Series - while perhaps not the name brands national fans originally wanted - very appealing.
Which will give? Kansas City going undefeated in the 2014 postseason with an 8-0 record? Or the Giants having won nine straight postseason series in a row?
Who will blink in the late innings, with both teams having small ball rallies or a timely homer to win in the final at-bat?
As a huge fan of each franchise over nearly three decades, here are the keys for the Royals to Take the Crown!
Kansas City needs to take one against Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, who actually has pitched better on the road than at AT&T Park in the postseason recently. Regardless, he's an ace in the playoffs with a 2.67 career ERA, and Kansas City needs to find a way to snag a win.
James Shields has surrendered a 5.65 ERA this postseason, but recent news that Shields passed a kidney stone during this past ALCS may have a bit to do with some of that. In the end, Kansas City needs one big game from Big Game, especially opposite of Bumgarner.
Sure, Kansas City hasn't lost a game in the postseason, and not since October 1985. But odds are it will happen in the World Series at some point, and getting the first game is very crucial for the Royals, especially at home.
After watching umpteen Giants comebacks and rallies in the postseason, the formula for its rallies sounds familiar. A walk, a bunt, a muffed ball or misplay and a run comes in, with another runner on second. Then a hit and suddenly San Francisco has scored two on just one bloop hit.
Yes, does sound familiar, eh? Kansas City usually gets the defensive part right - I don't think Eric Hosmer will be confused with Matt Adams of St. Louis at first base (who botched consecutive plays to lead to a big rally in Game 5 of the NLCS). The Giants have a meager offense as well, so not giving walks to a Brandon Crawford or other light-hitting batters is crucial.
Posey, Pablo, Pence are the core of the lineup. None of them have blasted 30 homers this year, but have all had many postseason moment. And Buster Posey arguably is the game's best catcher, having an MVP under his belt (2012) and just 27. Who can forget Pablo's three-homer game in Game One of the 2012 World Series off Justin Verlander? And Pence, as quirky as he is, is one tough out and just a ballplayer.
Now, the Giants will get a likely boost in Kansas City, with Michael Morse returning from injury and limited to hitting duties, and can DH in the AL park. He blasted a pinch-hit homer in the Game 5 comeback, and will give depth to the Giants lineup in up to four games at DH.
Kansas City obviously needs some hot sticks or key hits, and would go a long way if Billy Butler or Alex Gordon batted .520 for the series. In what likely will be a pitching and defense series, such a hitter as Hosmer, Mike Moustakas or Lorenzo Cain have been early on would carry Kansas City a long way.
- Pablo Sandoval is like Yogi Berra, Kirby Puckett, Vlady Guerrero. He never saw a pitch he didn't like - or can hit. It may be in the dirt, may be a foot outside. But it can be a double either way.
- Hunter Pence is quirky, looks goofy - but is a ballplayer. No matter how horrible his swing and batting stance look, how oddly he runs after a ball in the outfield - Pence will end up dirty and can beat you.
- Looking in the mirror - Kansas City and San Francisco each put together the late rallies. It ain't over until its over...
- Posey can be run on. He's thrown out 30% of runners this year, and pretty much his career. Which isn't something like 45% or crazy. So it can be done.
- Let's not face Yusmeiro Petit. Usually it'll be in a long relief situation, whether a starter was tired, or extra innings. But he set broke Mark Buehrle's MLB record for most consecutive batters retired.
Starters: San Francisco with Bumgarner, Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy at the top. Ryan Vogelsong is nothing more than Jeremy Guthrie, but has risen to the occasion in the postseason - as Guthrie did in Game 4 of the ALCS. But the top three are tough, and what's scary is Matt Cain has been out the second half of the season on the DL. If KC can get another round of Jason Vargas and Guthrie stepping up, then the Royals will be fine. The key will be Yordano Ventura in the mix.
Advantage: San Francisco
Long-relief: Usually isn't needed, aside from either a blowout or extra innings. While Danny Duffy is strong, how long can he go? Meanwhile, Yusmeiro Petit set an MLB record for most consecutive scoreless innings in the regular season, fired 6.0 scoreless IP in the 2-1 NLDS Game 2 18-inning marathon and while he's stunk all year, there still is two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum hanging out, who has been blessed with postseason pixie dust in the past.
Advantage: San Francisco
Bullpen: Sure, San Fran has a decent pen with Jeremy Affeldt, Sergio Romo, Santiago Casilla. But Hunter Strickland and Jean Machi are used a lot in high-level situations and just stink. Let's cut to the chase: No one in the game is better than the Royals trio of Herrera - Davis - Holland. And even Jason Frasor has risen up.
Advantage: Kansas City
Defense: Losing centerfield Angel Pagan to injury hurt San Francisco. Sandoval, for how big he is, is surprisingly good at third. Either that, or he makes plays look better with diving and flopping around. Belt is strong at first base. Kansas City has the advantage, but not by leaps and bounds.
Advantage: Kansas City
Hitting: Neither teams is an offensive juggernaut. Usually its piecing together an infield hit, a bunt, a botched play or a bloop. The Royals have the edge with its speed on the basepaths however.
Advantage: Kansas City
Clutch: The Royals certainly have showed they can rise to the moment. San Francisco has shown it can rise to the moment.
Advantage: Push
If Kansas City can get beat Bumgarner once, knock around Peavy once and take advantage against Vogelsong, the Royals should be okay. But Kansas City will need strong starting pitching themselves, and the ALCS didn't see a starter go past five innings, which is a concern.
Kansas City, of course!
I've been asked this many times, but obviously want Kansas City to Take the Crown. A no-brainer growing up on the Royals, having worked forthe ogranization for four years and still interaction with players and fans.
And while it will be hard to root against San Francisco for the first time in 27 years, the good news is, the consolation prize for my favorite team losing is my favorite team winning it all.
But let's make it a fun, memorable series, with the all-time favorite team since I was 6 beating the all-time favorite team since I was 14.
Go Royals!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and community leaders are hoping to raise awareness with a special project.
Children Youth and Family Services (CYFS) teamed up with local law enforcement, the Charlottesville City Council, and Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, to plant a garden of pinwheels
The pinwheel is the national symbol of child abuse prevention, and stands for hope, health and safety.
Planting the garden symbolizes the commitment to end child abuse.
Organizers say, child abuse is a bigger problem than some people realize.
"The kids learn a lot about stranger danger and that kind of stuff at school, but it's a lot more common for kids to know who their abuser is," said Brittany Selkregg, a Treatment Specialist with CYFS. "A lot of times it's a family member or a friend, babysitter or something like that."
Abuse prevention programs will be going on all month in Charlottesville.
Go Here to learn more about Children Youth and Family Services, including a calender of events and support programs.

People think I'm an unlikely NBA fan but the Miami Heat, and especially Alonzo Mourning, are wonderful. I love to watch the beauty and artistry of their play, especially Dwyane Wade's 4-dimensional moves around/through defenders, even if I usually only catch the highlights. I think Zo captivated me most of all, though, off the court. His determination and spirit are a real inspiration. His press conference after the 2006 championship win was just amazing.

I have read so many basketball books that for me to want to read a biography, the player has to have an interesting facet. Zo qualifies: he received a kidney transplant, retired, and came back to the league. OK, Sean Elliot had one also, but he didn't write a book, so there.
Before, I had little interest in Zo. He's just the scowling angry man who let out a primal scream when he perfectly toasted a piece of bread (according to the Sports Pickle), so the kidney angle gave me a glimpse into the doo ...more

Recommends it for: People who read Lance Armstrongs books.
Some people have rated this low because it was written by him and you can tell, sure you can tell, but that's a good thing. There's never a better way to read a story about someone's life than them telling you it themselves. Sure it was a bit churchie in places, and yes I skipped most of the chapter about holistic medicine, but it's a great story. To see that having a transplant doesn't have to be the end of everything, that you can go on and achieve your life long goals. It's certainly a very g ...more
May 24, 2011 Robert Fitzgerald rated it 4 of 5 stars
This autobiography of an often overlooked sports hero was no doubt a feel good read. It's so interesting to see sports headlines and stories from the news media's perspective, and then to go behind the scenes and see the thoughts that were playing out in an athlete's mind as real life was unfolding all-around them. Most know Mourning was hit with some tough breaks and life, but just as the title suggests, he never once lays down his cards and folds. Very easy read, and an enjoyable one for any s ...more

Shelves: basketball
Decently written biography, as sports biographies go. Not as entertaining as Shaq's, but Zo has had some interesting experiences, no doubt. I was fascinated most by his high school years as the number one player in the country (sophomore through senior year), his recruitment (shopping spree on his Georgia Tech visit), his time at Georgetown (his inadvertent link to D.C. drug king-pin) and his first NBA years with the Hornets. His kidney issues and family life give you a better perspective on the ...more
Jan 12, 2012 Kevin Mason rated it 3 of 5 stars
Resilience was an average athlete memoir that detailed the life-story of former Miami Heat center and kidney disease survivor. Several interesting insights and anecdotes are peppered throughout the text, and Mourning's journey from transplant surgery to NBA champion is inspiring. The actual content is written at a low-level, leaving something to be desired for the adamant reader.
Oct 25, 2012 Ryan Stewart rated it 5 of 5 stars
I gave this book a 5 star rating because it isn't like typical biographies about sports players. This book gave insight into the personal lives of one of the greatest basketball players ever. Also Alonzo Mourning talks about how hard work payed off in high school when he became the number 1 player in the country
Dec 06, 2011 Nicholas rated it 5 of 5 stars
Really inspires me and gives hope. It talks about fearlessness and how never to give up. Just keep fighting and trying and you will get there. This book really has a lot of feeling and emotion to it. It shows everything and what happen from even to event, it describes it very neatly and organized very well.
Sep 25, 2009 Venus rated it 2 of 5 stars
Nothing special. I don't think he had much help with the book. It read like it was written by an athlete.
Nov 13, 2008 Sean rated it 4 of 5 stars
Emotional at times, also a look into a professional atlete's tale.

BEAVER — A municipal judge has tossed out a disturbing the peace charge lodged against a 57-year-old grandmother ticketed for telling Beaver town trustees they better watch their backs after the close of a lengthy board meeting.
Disturbing the peace charge dismissed against Oklahoma grandmother
"There's a big uproar here," said the woman, Linda Fisher, who ran unsuccessfully for a trustee position in 2011. "Nobody in this town likes the way they're conducting business."
Fisher cited the recent resignation of town Treasurer April Jamison and a residents' petition calling for a state audit as additional evidence of turmoil that has gripped this Oklahoma Panhandle town of about 1,500.
Recalling events that led up to her being ticketed last August, Fisher told The Oklahoman she was frustrated with Mayor Denise Janko and the other four trustees because of their spending practices and because they refused to recognize her to speak at their August board meeting.
"I pointed my finger … (at town trustees), and I said those of you that are Denise followers had better watch your backs because she's going down," Fisher said.
Fisher said that was "in no way a physical threat" but rather a warning about what to expect at the next election.
Five days after making her remarks, Fisher said she was ticketed by a local police officer on a disturbing the peace charge.
Fisher turned to the American Civil Liberties Union for legal help, and on Nov. 19, Beaver Municipal Court Judge Robert Jaques dismissed the charge against her.
"Judge Jaques' decision follows countless rulings from higher courts upholding a citizen's right to free speech even when that speech is unpleasant or annoying to public officials," said Brady Henderson, legal director of the ACLU of Oklahoma.
"In this case, there was little question that Mrs. Fisher's comments were a protected exercise of freedom of speech."
Despite the ruling, Janko said she believes Fisher's remarks were "uncalled for, even if we were already out of session."
"In my opinion, it was a threat, but they just said it was freedom of speech," said Janko, 50.
"It saddens me that our rights are more important than our moral values."
Fisher said she wanted to address board members at that August meeting because there was an agenda item authorizing any trustee who wanted to attend an Oklahoma Municipal League conference to do so.
She said in recent years, only one or two officials had attended, and she thought that was sufficient and more cost-effective.
Janko defended the decision to allow all trustees to attend, saying "we feel like they need the training."
Petition seeks audit
Meanwhile, state Auditor and Inspector Gary Jones confirmed Wednesday that he has received a petition signed by 110 verified Beaver residents asking for a special audit of Beaver.

One of the highest sections of the atmosphere is shrinking as a result of low sun activity, U.S. researchers reported Thursday.
That may sound scary, but they say it actually can be good news for satellites. It means they can stay in orbit longer because they have less drag from the gasses they encounter.
On the other hand, of course, space junk orbiting the Earth also can remain up there longer.
According to the study, published in the American Geophysical Union's journal Geophysical Research Letters, the sun's energy output was unusually low from 2007 to 2009.
During that period the atmospheric layer called the thermosphere — from 55 miles to 300 miles (90-240 kilometres) above the Earth — cooled and shrank. That reduced the density of gas at high levels where many satellites orbit, explained Thomas Woods of the University of Colorado, a co-author of the report.
The decline in high-level density was as much as 30 percent, Woods said, even less than the last solar minimum.
"Our work demonstrates that the solar cycle not only varies on the typical 11-year time scale, but also can vary from one solar minimum to another," said lead author Stanley Solomon of the National Centre for Atmospheric Research's High Altitude Observatory. "All solar minima are not equal."
Solar energy output tends to vary over 11-year cycles marked by increases and decreases in sunspots. From 2007 to 2009 there were almost no sunspots or solar storms.
"With lower thermosphere density, our satellites will have a longer life in orbit," said Woods. "This is good news for those satellites that are actually operating, but it is also bad because of the thousands of non-operating objects remaining in space that could potentially have collisions with our working satellites."
While the reduced solar activity resulted in a cooling of the upper thermosphere the same cannot be said of the Earth's surface, as 2009 was the fifth warmest year on record and the decade of 2000 to 2009 was the warmest on record.
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, NASA and the Office of Naval Research.

A local businesswoman has shared her story of overcoming adversity and change over the past few years in hopes of empowering and inspiring readers.
Meredith Nealis, 37 of Taylor, was recently featured in the released of the book "Empower! Women's Stories of Breakthrough, Discovery and Triumph." Nealis' chapter and contribution to the book entitled "Becoming My Own Leading Lady" depicts a more personal side of the author, opposed to the more professional side more familiar to the public. A University of Scranton graduate, Nealis holds more than 14 years of experience in the mortgage, lending and business development industry and is currently a loan originator at TD Bank, specializing in purchase and new construction.
In mid 2012, Nealis was invited to contribute to "Empower!" after being approached by another one of the authors in the book. Nealis decided to share her chapter with the world, describing her journey to empowerment after overcoming various recent obstacles in her life.
"I've always said I would love to write a book or do something inspirational or motivational," said Nealis on accepting the offer to be part of the book.
The birth of a daughter, divorce of her husband, becoming a single mom and loss of a best friend are just a few major changes described by Nealis in "Becoming My Own Leading Lady."
"It was kind of just about rediscovering myself and learning about myself," said Nealis regarding the chapter.
Nealis continued to comment on the purpose and message she hoped to convey in her chapter, "The greatest gift in the world is reinventing ourselves and we can reinvent ourselves every day if we want to."
"Empower" features 25 collective inspirational stories written by women, sharing their journey toward empowerment.
After the book's release in April 2013, Nealis promoted her book by attended a book signing in Scranton. As a former employee of Citizens Bank of Clarks Summit, Nealis embraces the possibility to do a book launch in the area, as she commented, "All my business and anything I've ever done has focused around Northeastern Pa."
Nealis went on to share what kind of reaction she hopes to get out of her readers, "I really hope that people, whether they be male or women, that when they read the stories they realize they are so powerful," Nealis continued, "they have so much power in them to create any destiny that they want."
'Empower' can be purchased at Amazon.com and bookstores nationwide. More information on Nealis can be found at MeredithNealisEmpower.com and through social media at www.facebook.com/meredithnealisempower.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/5/14
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, two old rivals, met Sunday for the first time since Peyton Manning moved on to Denver. Star rookie Andrew Luck is now the Indianapolis quarterback, and he showed some of the special stuff he possesses, but New England pulled away and beat the Colts 59-24 in a wild one. The Patriots tied the franchise record for points in a game. Patriots jack-of-all-trades Julian Edelman returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown, returned another punt 49 yards, caught a touchdown pass (and made four other receptions) and ran an end-around for 47 yards. He finished with 222 all-purpose yards, but he wasn't the only star. New England tight end Rob Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes, and Tom Brady threw for three scores. The Patriots (7-3) also returned two interceptions for scores while winning their third straight. The Colts (6-4) saw their four-game winning streak end.

I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Brown University (Providence, RI) in April 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Eli Upfal. The title of my dissertation is "Sampling-based Randomized Algorithms for Big Data Analytics". My thesis committee included Prof. Uğur Çetintemel (Brown CS), and Prof. Basilis Gidas (Brown Appl. Math.).
My Ph.D. research focused on the use of methods from statistical learning theory and probability in Big Data analytics (aka knowledge discovery, aka data mining), especially on graphs and transactional datasets, and for database management (selectivity estimation, approximation of aggregate queries), and more broadly in computer science. I have a strong belief that algorithms should provide provable guarantees on their output, and at the same time be highly practical to be used in real scenarios. I am also very interested in MapReduce and in the development of algorithms for data analytics on this and other novel computing platforms.
I am a member of the Data Management Research Group and of the Theory Group at Brown CS. I work on Project BIGDATA and used to work on Project Longview.
My current Erdős number is 3 (Erdős → Suen → Upfal → Matteo). I'd love to lower it to 2.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Warren Buffett -- Winnipeg-style
Tim Burt's investment philosophy a foundation of his Cardinal Capital firm's success
Tim Burt was preaching to the choir at a recent luncheon where he was the guest speaker.
Like him, most of the attendees were investment analysts.
So they were well-versed in Burt's topic, the basics of value investing -- an investment philosophy made famous by Warren Buffett.
Considered one of the world's most successful investors, with the vast wealth to back it up, Buffett earned his nickname the Oracle of Omaha because of his ability to buy undervalued companies that eventually become highly valued ones.
Although a familiar subject for Burt's audience, considering the luncheon was a Winnipeg CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst Society) gathering, a good portion would also know his take on the investment philosophy well, since he probably has had a hand in their careers at one time or another. Some may have taken the securities-analysis course Burt taught at the University of Manitoba more than a decade ago. Others are employed at his firm Cardinal Capital Management, or at least have been in the past.
At the very least, every one of them is familiar with his story.
Burt is one of the elder statesmen in Winnipeg's investment analyst community. He has almost 40 years in the business, and for more than 20 of them, he has been building one of the most successful independent investment houses in the city's history. Today, Cardinal Capital manages more than $1.5 billion -- all the while emulating Buffett's conservative technique of selecting stocks to build wealth over the long-term.
Although value investing is foundational subject matter for investment analysts, its principles can be a revelation for amateur investors looking to improve their investment knowledge.
So after the lunchtime talk, Burt spoke with the Free Press to offer some insights about the market philosophy that has made himself, Buffett and countless others successful long-term investors.
"Value investing is trying to determine a fair value for a stock using various metrics, or quantitative tools, and based on that analysis, determining whether the stock is a good buy or not," Burt says.
It's more than just buying low and selling high -- though that is ultimately the goal of any investment style.
And value investing stands in stark contrast to its flashier cousin, growth-style investing, which is largely based on forecasting if a fast-growing company will continue to have high growth.
Rather, value investors generally avoid companies that have rapidly rising and high-flying stock prices, such as Tesla and Lululemon Athletica.
Electric luxury carmaker Tesla, for example, is only now turning a small profit, yet its stock price has almost quadrupled in the last year to nearly $100 a share.
Yoga-wear maker Lululemon hasn't had quite as dramatic a rise of late, but its stock price, in the $60-something range, is still considered expensive by value investors -- even after losing a chunk of its value this week when its CEO resigned.
They still consider its stock price inflated because, for example, its price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is in the 30s.
For those unfamiliar with this stock measurement, the P/E ratio is the most widely used metric in value investing. Often referred to as "multiples," it measures how much investors are willing to pay for every dollar of a company's earnings.
The higher the P/E, the more likely the stock price is overvalued. Determining how high is high requires comparing a company's P/E to its competitors. In the case of Lululemon, other apparel makers have P/Es in the teens, so to value investors, the company's stock seems pricey.
"The difference between an undervalued stock and an overvalued stock is really market psychology," Burt says. "It's how investors feel about those companies, and as investors are more optimistic, they tend to overprice stock. As investors become more pessimistic, they tend to undervalue stocks."
Value investors aim to buy the undervalued stocks. These are companies with good earnings and bright futures, but their stock price doesn't yet reflect these qualities.
Typically, value investors look for stocks with P/Es lower than stocks in the same sector. Yet this metric alone is by no means a perfect measure of a stock's value.
A company can have good earnings, a low stock price and, as a result, a low relative P/E value. But investors could have a good reason to be lukewarm about the stock. A firm might be profitable now, but the consensus is its future is bleak.
For instance, Research in Motion (now BlackBerry) had good earnings just two years ago even though it was already being clobbered by Apple, Samsung and others. Even though its share price had been in free fall, it remained profitable. As a result, the Canadian tech firm's P/E made it appear to be a bargain, at least until it reported losses last year, which nullifies the P/E measurement altogether.
Burt says companies with a falling P/E ratio, such as BlackBerry, may be "in a death spiral."
That doesn't mean they are down and out. Sometimes they recover like Apple. Once on its deathbed, Apple became one of the world's most profitable publicly traded stocks. But recovery is rare.
Sorting the bargains from the soon-to-be failures is where the real work begins for value investors. They get down to the finer details about a company's current and future positions relative to its competitors and ignore the manic pricing of investor psychology.
"It (valuation) is a pendulum. It swings back and forth from one extreme to the other -- from over-valuation to undervaluation," Burt says.
"That's not just true with individual stocks, it's true with the stock market. That's why you see low valuations at bear-market bottoms like March 9, 2009."
When it comes to markets, however, value investors are largely agnostic. They largely don't care whether markets go up or down -- at least over the short term. Their concern is about the companies they own.
They look for companies with good track records of steady growth, often with long histories of increasing dividends.
"We're not market timers. We don't sit on cash. We're always fully invested," he says.
This is because even when the market looks over-valued, it can always go higher longer than anyone can predict. In other words, you could sit on the sidelines waiting for a crash that may never come.
"At the same time, if you stay in the markets and they continue to go up, you're going to benefit," he says.
"And then if they drop 20 per cent, at least it's a good opportunity to buy more stocks."

November 1864: "The only good we got from the great effort to give every soldier a dinner was a barrel of apples reached the Battery..."By Joan Fink, Volunteer
Letter from Warren Goodale to his children, 27 November 1864
On 27 November 1864, sitting in the relative comfort of his winter quarters in Fort Cummings, Virginia, Private Warren Goodale of the 11th Regiment Massachusetts Light Artillery writes to his children describing in great detail his newly constructed winter home and regaling them with tales of how he passed his time and filled his belly on Thanksgiving Day.
Warren Goodale was born on 2 July 1826 in Marlborough, Massachusetts, the son of David and Millicent Goodale. He attended Williams College, but concerns about his eyesight forced him to leave before receiving his degree. Subsequently, Goodale sailed from Boston to Hawaii where the reputation of his missionary aunt Lucy Goodale Thurston helped to establish him, first as a teacher at Royal School—where he taught the future King Kamehameha IV—and later as Marshall of the Kingdom and then Collector of Customs. Returning to Massachusetts for a brief visit, Goodale married Ellen Whitmore in 1852. The two returned to Hawaii, where they had five children together, Mary, Charles, William, and twins David and Ellen. In February 1862, shortly after the birth of the twins, his wife Ellen died. Goodale returned to Massachusetts where he entrusted his children to the care of his brother David, and enlisted as a private with the 11th Massachusetts Light Artillery. See the online presentation of a photograph of Goodale.
One of the highlights of the featured letter is Goodale's detailed description and drawings of his self-constructed winter quarters (pages 1-4). He notes that "the sides and ends are made of split pine logs" with the sides "about 8 feet long and four feet high" and he explains that the "cracks are filled in with clay dug out of the ditch which runs around our fort." After providing all the specifics, Goodale asks his children to "see if you can tell what it should be called," either a tent or a house.
Goodale praises the black regiments who were encamped near the 11th, writing that "the more we saw of the negros, the better we liked them" (page 5) and when the neighboring regiment was ordered to depart Fort Cummings, he states "we were sorry to have them go." Noting with delight that the evening before they were ordered to leave their encampment, those regiments had received their Thanksgiving gifts as well as several days rations, Goodale relates that he and his friends scavenged through the supplies left after the regiment departed. Goodale writes that he himself secured two bayonets, an English musket, an old coffee pot, two gun barrels, five pairs of old shoes, rice, turnips, soaps, and other personal supplies. Perhaps sensing that his children would question the ethics of this looting, he adds that when his own regiment receives order to leave, all the supplies they cannot carry with them will be ransacked by the other regiments in the camp.
Goodale also writes of meager offerings on Thanksgiving Day, noting that he and his fellow soldiers received just "two small greenings" (a type of apple) for their Thanksgiving meal. However, he adds that on the following day some small turkeys arrived at the camp and that he received a portion consisting of two pieces of bone, part of a wing, and some sour bread stuffing. On Saturday, two days after Thanksgiving, he was given "three baldwins [apples] and a roll of bread from Boston, Massachusetts."
A few months after writing this letter, Goodale was commissioned a lieutenant with the 114th United States Colored Infantry. With this regiment he participated in the sieges of Petersburg and Richmond, and was involved in the Appomattox Campaign. After the cessation of hostilities in Virginia, the 114th was dispatched to Texas, where Goodale served until February 1866.
After leaving the army, Goodale returned to Honolulu, Hawaii where he served as manager of several sugar plantations. He also was appointed as head of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society and was very active in the Historical Society of Honolulu. Suffering from heart disease, he died suddenly on 22 February 1897 and was buried in Nuuanu Cemetery in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Federal Judge in PA Rules Obamacare Individual Mandate Unconstitutional
**Written by Doug Powers
Obamacare hits another bump on the road to the Supreme Court:
A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that the requirement in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul that individuals buy health insurance is unconstitutional.
Judge Christopher Conner in Harrisburg issued the ruling Tuesday in one of more than 30 lawsuits nationwide that have been filed over the law. He says the individual mandate is an unconstitutional extension of authority granted to the federal government under the Constitution's commerce clause.
Last week an appeals court in Virginia overturned a lower court judge and found the law constitutional, and about a month ago the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Georgia ruled that the individual mandate is unconstitutional.
What will the Supreme Court's decision be? It's best to try and make that a moot point next year by voting in a wave of people who will repeal the law in its entirety.
Until then, we can always hope they start handing out waivers again.

State parks offer visitors active way to start new year
Updated On: Jan 01 2013 05:26:39 PM CST
Some families got the new year off to an active start by heading to the great outdoors.
The Delaware Canal State Park in Easton sponsored a guided hike Tuesday as part of a national event called First Day Hikes.
State parks all across the country have been participating in the program for 20 years.
Organizers said it is a great way to encourage people to start the year off right by getting outside and doing something active.
"It's great for your health. It's great to get out and see the scenery. It's a great distraction when you've got a lot on your mind and it also is great for your cardiovascular health," said Sarah Berg.
More than 14,000 people participated in the First Day Hikes in Pennsylvania's state parks last year.

For audio fanatics: Flexible speaker that bends around furnitureSubmitted by Bob-45 on Mon, 07/01/2013 - 16:32
K-array introduces the very flexible Anakonda KAN200 speaker
By Paul Ridden
June 28, 2013
Ensuring the dulcet tones of your keynote speaker reach every nook and cranny of a crowded conference room can be something of a challenge. Even perfectly-positioned box speakers and a powerful sound system might leave some guests wondering what exactly was said. Italian audio specialist K-array has come up with a distinctly bendy answer to the problem of placing speakers in those awkward, out of reach places. The Anakonda KAN200 is so flexible it can be wrapped around lamp stands or table legs, mounted to curved surfaces, or quite literally be tied in knots. It promises crisp, intelligible audio, and can be combined with other units to form one seamless sound line over 200 ft (64 m) in length.
Though the hero image and the gallery photos don't really give an indication of scale, each KAN200 unit is 6.6 ft long, and can be daisy-chained together using the integrated NL4 connectors to a maximum of 32 modules. Each strip is home to eight 1-inch neodymium cone drivers with a 0.75-inch voice coil with a total RMS output of 300 W. The Anakonda has a frequency range of 150 Hz to 18 KHz (± 6 dB), high 64 ohm impedance, and 96 dB continuous SPL, or 102 dB peak.
The range of configuration and installation possibilities are almost endless, and dedicated presets and IP55-rating help make the snake-like speaker a good audio thrower for both indoor and outdoor events, either on its own or combined with K-array subwoofers. Each unit has dimensions of 79.5 x 2.2 x 1.4 in (202 x 5.6 x 3.6 cm), weighs 3.09 lb (1.4 kg), and is shipped with an included wall bracket and fabric covers.

The end all of speakers will
The end all of speakers will be nano speakers. Basically they would vibrate a small nanowire and this produces actually pretty loud clear sound. Its not too long ago they discovered this.
This is probably the runner up though being able to wrap around stuff.
To climb the mountain, you must believe you can.
