Retention award boosts compensation of FirstEnergy CEO
Blog Entry:
May 16, 2013 12:31 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
CEO pay rose a median 3.6% to $10.1 million in 2012, according to a
Wall Street Journal
compensation study conducted by
Hay Group
, a management consulting firm.
But the paper notes there are "still elements of pay packages that can cause compensation to vary widely—even in the same industry," and one prominent example involves Anthony Alexander, CEO of Akron-based
FirstEnergy Corp.
The Journal
says a retention bonus helped Mr. Alexander "bring in more than twice as much last year" as Kevin Burke, his counterpart at Consolidated Edison Inc.
"Such payouts are more controversial now that investors have become more vocal about CEO pay in the wake of a federal law requiring companies to put their compensation policies up for regular advisory shareholder votes," according to the newspaper.
Mr. Alexander was paid $19.8 million last year, inclusive of a retention award of 200,000 shares of restricted stock, according to the Hay Group analysis.
The Journal
notes that FirstEnergy "became one of the biggest U.S. electricity producers with its 2011 acquisition of Allegheny Energy Inc." Directors gave Mr. Alexander, 62, the retention award in March 2012 because he had successfully pursued that takeover, was weighing when to retire and "continues to build on a sound business strategy," a FirstEnergy spokeswoman tells the newspaper.
The grant "initially was valued at $9.3 million, and the CEO will collect those shares as long as he remains at the company through 2015, the year he turns 65,"
The Journal
Board members didn't link the retention award to performance because "Mr. Alexander's annual compensation was significantly tied to company performance" last year, FirstEnergy said in its proxy material.
But restricted shares without performance triggers "don't do enough work for shareholders for the amount of money they are delivering," Paul Hodgson, an executive-pay specialist for BHJ Partners, a corporate-governance consultancy, tells
The Journal
The newspaper adds that FirstEnergy's performance "has been far from stellar, with annualized shareholder returns of 1.8% over the past three years."
Watch what you say
Ohioans, WTF?
The Marchex Institute
recently used call mining technology "to aggregate data from more than 600,000 phone calls placed from consumers to businesses across 30 industries." After scanning for curse words and linking the frequency of those words with all 50 states, Forbes.com says, "they found people in Ohio are more likely to curse than any other state."
Right behind us are the potty-mouthed residents of Massachusetts, Arizona, Texas and Virginia. People from Washington state are least likely to curse.
Ohioans, really.
"According to the data, Washingtonians curse about every 300 conversations, whereas Ohioans swore about every 150 conversations," Forbes.com says.
In addition, the Marchex data found Ohio is one of the "least courteous" states, ranking as the fifth least-likely state to say "please" and "thank you." (The least courteous state is Wisconsin; the most courteous is South Carolina.)
The data also found that 66% of conversations involving swearing came from calls placed by men.
Tuff case
Sherwin-Williams Co.
of Cleveland
has been sued
for trademark infringement by a Mississippi-based maker of ceramic coatings.
Bloomberg says that according to a complaint filed May 13 in federal court in Hattiesburg, Miss., Tuff-Wall Inc. "had discussions with the paint maker in 2008 over possibly placing its products in the Sherwin-Williams stores or being purchased by the larger company."
Sherwin-Williams then filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register "TuffWall" as a trademark, Bloomberg reports. In January, the paint company said in a statement that it would be introducing a "TuffWall" line of paint, according to the complaint.
"The Mississippi company said it began receiving inquiries from customers about whether Tuff-Wall was associated with Sherwin-Williams's new paint product," according to Bloomberg. "Further, Tuff-Wall said, an Internet search for "TuffWall" brings up hits for both Tuff-Wall and Sherwin-Williams."
Tuff-Wall claims that its intellectual property is being used by Sherwin-Williams "to advertise the same category of products to the same class of consumers." Sherwin-Williams is accused of infringing "in willful, wanton, or malicious disregard of Tuff-Wall's intellectual property rights."
A Sherwin-Williams spokesman, via email, declined to comment to Bloomberg about the lawsuit.
His bite is worse than his bark
Lots of dogs — including the Australian shepherd in my house — don't like the postal carrier, but
some canines take the hate too far
U.S. Postal Service
has released its list of cities where carriers sustain the most dog bites, and Cleveland is tied with Dayton for the No. 10 spot, with 26 bites last year.
Los Angeles tops the list at 69, followed by San Antonio and Seattle, with 42 each.
Last year, nearly 5,900 letter carriers were attacked by dogs, the Postal Service says. National Dog Bite Prevention Week kicks off May 19, so this is a good time to make sure your dog is secured in the house if he/she just can't stand the site of the men and women in blue.

Remembering 911
It is hard to believe that the 10th anniversary of the terror strikes on our country can be here so soon. It seems like yesterday. You doubtless will remember all your life where you were and what you were doing when the news of the airplane strikes came in, just as those old enough recall clearly getting the news of President Kennedy's assassination.
Among the many books about the events surrounding September 11, 2001 are Last man down: a firefighter's story of survival and escape from the World Trade Center by Richard Picciotto, Firefight: inside the battle to save the Pentagon on 9/11 by Patrick Creed, The ground truth: the untold story of America under attack on 9/11 by John J. Farmer, and The looming tower: Al-Qaeda and the road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright.
The secrets of a group of childhood friends unravel in Absent Friends, a haunting thriller set in New York in the aftermath of September 11 by Edgar Award winner S.J. Rozan. For children, Fireboat: the heroic adventures of the John J. Harvey tells about the contribution of a retired boat called back into service to rescue people in New York Harbor.
Find more books on this topic by searching "September 11 terrorist attacks 2001" in our catalog.
Since 2004, government agencies and others have observed National Disaster Preparedness Month to alert citizens to ways to prepare for emergencies, whether terror or weather or natural disasters. Remember the bomb shelters of the 1960s? Find a list of supplies to have on hand for today's emergencies at www.ready.gov. See www.redcross.org for information on current emergency events.
Looking for a Good Book Escape?
Staff recommendations for good reading in all genres appear on our website under Books & More. Staff Favorites include more than 700 recommendations written by staff and printed in our More Good Reads brochure three times yearly since 2001. Rachel Maderik has created a database of these recommendations, so they are searchable by author, title, or staff reviewer. You can also browse by genre or date published. Here is a treasure trove of good ideas for mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, western, classics, history, biography, nature, our Appalachian region, and lots more for adults, teens, and children.
Book Sale
A Friends of the Library group is forming at the Bluefield Branch and will be holding a sale of used books this Friday (2-7:30) and Saturday (9-2). Special activities for children on Saturday include face painting and storytelling, beginning at 11. Every book purchased means room for a new book on the shelves, so we encourage all book lovers to pick up books this weekend. Videos and CDs are also available.
Calling All Bookaroos
Storytime for children begins the week of the 12th at all TCPL locations. Children will travel to the Wild West for adventure and a rocking good time. Programs are available for preschool through upper elementary ages.
Chancery Records
Chancery records are a rich source of genealogical information but are less well known than other record types because they have been harder to search. Tazewell County's records have been digitized and now are searchable on the Library of Virginia website. TCPL will host Library of Virginia staff for a program to orient genealogists to this treasure trove Monday, October 17, at 6:00. Seating is limited, so please call now to reserve your space.

The national economic implications of rising healthcare costs were poorly understood, even as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom instituted reforms in early 2010. Presenting opportunities for cross-national policy learning, this case describes the political economy of healthcare reform. In late March 2010, a major healthcare reform act was signed into law in the United States, expanding coverage and regulating insurers. However, it was not clear that expanding coverage would resolve a longstanding dilemma of rising costs for insurance and care. As the Department of Health and Human Services implemented the new law, it drew on lessons from Germany, which had implemented changes to regulated but competitive insurance and provider markets, and the United Kingdom, which had introduced market-style initiatives while keeping insurance and delivery under the National Health Service.
learning objective:
Significance of healthcare for macroeconomy; challenges of reform; opportunities for cross-national policy learning.

How to Select
How to Shop Bathroom Heaters
Personal comfort is a significantly important life quality characteristic for most people. No matter where we are and what we are doing, we constantly strain after better life conditions, a comfortable home atmosphere and a convenient household environment. All these qualities can be easily combined in a usual, traditional bathroom. Have you ever analyzed how a good morning shower or a relaxing evening bath influences your overall physical and mental state? The more pleased we are with these procedures, the better our mood will be. During the winter months this issue becomes especially typical—it is hell to take a shower in a cold bathroom. It doesn't have to be that way, though. Purchasing a good bathroom heater can save you from an unpleasant winter experience.
In order to choose the right bathroom heater, it is recommended that you learn about the main types on the market and their technologies. All bathroom heaters can be divided by two main characteristics: their mounting location and working technology.
Types of Bathroom Heaters According to the Mounting Location:
- Wall Mounted Heaters are the most popular bathroom heating devices. They are extremely easy to be installed directly on the wall, feature a high efficiency level, use electrical energy source, and possess a fixed location that minimizes the risk of an electrical shock.
- Baseboard Bathroom Heaters also refer to the electrical devices. They are mounted along the bathroom baseboard and have a direct wiring connection with the electrical line, which is accompanied by a pretty amount of installation work. Complete sealing and covering make these heaters quite safe and at the same time a bit more expensive than the other bathroom heating alternatives.
- Portable Heaters refer to a significantly cheap variant of bathroom heating, which could be suitable for people renting an apartment. There are air forced and radiant types of portable bathroom heaters. They are convenient as they do not require any installation at all, but at the same time, their safety quality remains doubtful.
- Ceiling Mounted Heaters refer to the most fixed and permanent type of bathroom heaters. They are installed in the ceiling and provide a sufficient safety, efficiency and space economy.
Types of Bathroom Heaters According to the Working Technology:
- Hydronic Heating works as a central heating system pushing hot water to the under-floor heating coils or radiators throughout a piping network.
- Heating Lamps simultaneously provide several services. They ensure both a focused source of heating and lighting.
- Radiant Electric Bar Heaters are specially constructed to provide a quick, furious radiant heating when it is urgently needed. They are ideal for small areas like bathroom.
When choosing any type of bathroom heater it is always a good thing to remember that the main purpose of these devices it to bring warmth and comfort to your life. This is why each customer has his own best model, which corresponds to their personal request and needs.

Mobile testing
Testing can be broadly defined as an investigation conducted to map the expected functionalities with the actual implementation at hand. The outcome of testing process is a performance sheet of sorts about the quality and performance of the product or service undergoing the testing process. A well conducted testing process ensures that there are lesser glitches at the user level, which would in turn result in lesser after-sales/maintenance efforts, thereby driving down the product development cost as well as ensuring higher customer satisfaction indexes, both of which are equally desirable components in a software company's wish list.
The importance of testing as a process can be gauged from the fact that most if not all software development models include it as a major phase in their totality providing a substantial time and budget for it. Depending upon the complexity of the software and the resultant performance/quality desirables out of it, the budgetary and time allocations for testing vary. For instance a health care, space program solution would be less tolerable for faults hence would end up allocating even higher bandwidths for testing as compared to say a game application.
Testing on the mobile is however very different and sometimes a more involved process then testing conducted on the desktop environment because of the following key differences between the desktop and mobile :-
* Constraints and difference in hardware capabilities
The screen size of a typical desktop nowadays is around 19-23 inches as compared to the mobile which could be around 1-2 inches, with limited color display options, the input mechanisms of a desktop with a full QWERTY keypad with mouse as compared to a limited keypad, both virtual and actual along with the absence of a mouse, the processor capabilities are some of the key hardware differences between a mobile and a desktop. These constraints do limit the amount of processing/input/output which the application can possibly do in a satisfactory time line from a user perspective. It then becomes imperative for the development team to take these factors into consideration while developing and testing any application for the mobile environment.
* Varying environments of usage
A mobile by its very definition is a device always ready to use and generally on the go, compared to a desktop which pretty often sits on the desk meant for sedentary usage, even in the case of laptops to a large degree. A mobile could be used while shopping, traveling, driving and many other divergent activities, so it's very important that the applications developed for a mobile subscribe to the basic idea of a mobile and should not place any demands on the user from a usability perspective. More often then not while using applications on the mobile; the user wants faster response and quicker access to services and features with the least possible input/decision making process. This should be kept in mind while developing the look and feel, functionality and usage patterns for the application.
* Divergent demands/expectations of the end user
Compared to a desktop a user has different demands and expectations from a mobile. For instance a typical user would expect to use different applications like phone/camera/music players at the same time, and expect all of them to work reliably together. The developer thus has to ensure that their application is not making too many demands or using up too many resources off the hardware of other inbuilt applications up to a point where they might end up hampering the performance of other applications.
It is against this backdrop that a mobile application has to be designed, developed and then tested.
I found an article about mobile and handheld usability testing written by Tim Fidgeon. He pointed out that mobile and handheld testing could actually be more important than computer-based usability testing. Could he be right??
He has three main arguments for his statement.
* A growing number of users are accessing the internet from mobile devices:
This is true. The awareness of the opportunity to get online anywhere you are is spreading. More often then not the websites/content have been developed keeping in mind the IO capabilities of a desktop and it doesn't get rendered properly on the mobile. It is thus imperative to ensure that the website development is done keeping in mind the mobile, and should also ensure lesser inputs required in the case of mobile. Generally on a desktop lot of times in case of IO errors, the developer notifies and expects response from the user, but in the case of mobile the interaction between the user and the system should be minimized because of the constraints discussed earlier.
* Going online with your mobile is fairly new way of using the internet:
Computers have been in use "for ages". Even if someone makes a rather unique design for a web site, users are somewhat expert users and can navigate in almost all conditions. Accessing the internet with mobile devices hasn't been possible for that long. It's a new thing and the users may still be a bit confused about this opportunity, they may find the navigation, layout and other things very different from the desktop environment. The typical user could as well be a complete novice at this mode of accessing the internet and this poses a challenge for the developers to ensure that they make the user at ease while using the content, otherwise chances are that the user might end up abandoning the idea of using the services through a mobile once and for all.
* There is much more varying with different mobile and handheld device platforms than with computers:
The sizes of the screens differ. The platforms differ. With computers it doesn't really make much of a difference whether you use IE or Firefox. But it might make a big difference whether you use NOKIA E90 communicator or iPhone, for example. Thus it is imperative to ensure that the look and feel remain pretty much consistent on different platforms/form factors and devices, as too much changing might end up confusing the user even more.
I think Tim has a point here!
The tester needs to ensure that the applications developed for the mobile are able to perform reliably, with both speed and accuracy. They also need to ensure that the usability aspect has been well taken care of, as usability remains a critical component of any system.

It's officially spring, which means something special for me: I'm another quarter-year older. I was born on the winter solstice, so I measure my age by counting solstices and equinoxes. I find it strangely comforting to use these ancient milestones to mark the passage of time, since it connects me to each generation back to the savanna-wanderers and cave-dwellers, who surely wondered at the transit of constellations across the hemisphere of the sky. Who among them was the first to name and anthropomorphize the stars? Who noticed the connection between the stars and the blooming of certain flowers and the fertility cycles of certain animals? We'll never know, but we nevertheless profit from their wisdom.
Are we any less thrilled when we glimpse the first winter aconite through a blanket of snow than our ancestors were a millennium ago? I doubt it. Artist Muriel Dawson (1897-1974) captured the same feeling in her painting about 90 years ago:
And artist Sybil Barham illustrated the excitement of the first flush of spring with the help of words from poet Percy Bysshe Shelley about a century ago:
In a world that sometimes seems to travel faster than the speed of light, I sometimes need to pause and remind myself that nature measures time in geologic ages, not in nanoseconds. And each of us has her time and season.

Recently, I posted about using Google Plus, Skype and other modern technologies as effective ways to bring family reunions to the whole family – even when many can't make it in person.
Following that post, I went with my family to a wonderful reunion in Bear Lake Utah and Idaho where we had a great time reminiscing, water skiing – and enjoying quality time as a family. Sure enough, not everyone could be there.
I grabbed my smartphone – no signal. I grabbed my laptop – no signal. I was up a technological creek.
One family member experienced a work emergency and was forced to drive around trying to find a strong-enough signal to get him on the Internet to solve the problem.
However, I was able to receive emails – on a boat in the middle of Bear Lake. I also connected with the world while riding our rented ATVs – but not from the comfort of the cabin.
Yesterday, Google announced the availability of Google Fiber. An ultra-high speed Internet based on wired fiber optics, it is 200 times faster than my already-fast connection at my Provo (Utah) office. Right now, it is only available in Kansas City and is a test of what the future might look like. Read more about Google Fiber.
There are still many US locations – such as Bear Lake (Utah and Idaho) – where it's difficult to get a connection. Fiber is a wonderful idea, but it doesn't help to span the digital divide – it only makes it greater. Although Google Fiber offers free broadband connections for the masses – and ultra-high speed for those willing to pay for it – what about rural areas? (more…)

For Mar'isu, a double drabble.
Abandon Sense
"But what is the point?" asked Legolas, looking with undisguised distaste at Eomer and Aragorn, who were finding it impossible to reach the bottle in front of them.
Faramir, his head already cloudy, struggled to answer: "It is a pleasant feeling, to get drunk."
"But do you not find your head aching the next day? Why should I wish that? What sense is there in that?"
"Oh, bloody, there is no sense," slurred Faramir, shaking his head at the elf's inability to grasp this simple concept. "That is the point."
Legolas was not much surprised. "Yes, I think see that now."
"Legolas! Don't be a wet blanket! Come join us!" Gimli's bellow was inviting, but Legolas only sighed. He had found mortals to have surprisingly greater amounts of sense than he would have predicted before leaving Mirkwood, but this strange ritual, performed now even by those he considered the wisest, made him wonder.
With a pause, he looked over to where Elrond and Celeborn sat soberly. Temptation to join them in rationality and be termed a wet blanket nearly overcame him. But, with a sigh, he turned away and resolutely took a bottle. He would abandon sense. Just this once.

Green Tea and White Chocolate Opera Cake
This months Daring Bakers challenge was an opera cake. The opera cake sounded pretty challenging having no less that five different components. The components included a cake, a syrup, a buttercream, a ganache and a glaze. The thing that I liked most about the challenge was that we were allowed to choose the flavours in the cake as long as the colours remained light. I decided to go with one of my current favorite dessert flavour combinations, green tea and white chocolate.
Note: I halved all the recipes for all components as I did not want such a large cake.
Green Tea Cake
The first component of the opera cake was of course the cake. The cake sounded pretty interesting because it used ground almonds. I wanted the cake to have a green tea flavour and have a green colour so I added some matcha. The cake came together pretty easily and it had a really nice shade of green.
3 large egg whites (room temperature)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup icing sugar (sifted)
1 tablespoon matcha
3 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
1. Line a 12 1/2 inch by 15 1/2 inch jelly roll pan with parchment and grease it with butter.
2. Beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks.
3. Add the sugar and beat until the peaks are stiff and glossy.
4. Beat the almonds, icing sugar, matcha and eggs in another bowl until light and voluminous.
5. Add the flour and beat until the flour is just combined.
6. Fold the meringue into the almond mixture.
7. Fold in the butter.
8. Pour the batter into the pan.
9. Bake in a preheated 425F oven until lightly browned and just springy to the touch, about 5-9 minutes.
10. Run a knife along the edges to loosen the cake form the pan.
11. Cover the cake with parchment paper, flip and unmold the cake.
12. Peel of the parchments paper flip and cover the cake while it cools.
Green Tea Syrup
The cake in the opera cake needed to be moistened with a syrup. The syrup was just a simple syrup with some added flavour. I remembered that I had seen some green tea liqueur and I though that it would go well in the syrup. The green tea liqueur was a nice dark green and it tasted like green tea and had hints of spices and berries. It added a nice aroma to the syrup and the opera cake.
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon green tea liqueur
1. Bring every thing to boil in a small sauce pan stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and let cool.
Green Tea Buttercream
There was a bit of confusion with the recipe for the buttercream and in the end I was not sure what recipe to use so I used the recipe from the Perfect Party Cake challenge. I decided that I wanted the buttercream to be green as well so I added some matcha to it. The first time that I made buttercream it did not work out too well. The second time I got a nice finished product but it took about 20 minutes of beating the cream by hand. This time everything came together easily with less than 5 minutes of beating by hand in the final step. Given the amount of beating in the other components I was a bit relieved. The buttercream ended up with a nice light green colour and tasted great. Must keep fingers out of butter cream.
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon matcha
2 large egg whites
3/4 cups unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1. Mix the sugar and matcha in a small bowl.
2. Whisk the sugar and matcha into the egg whites in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until the mixture is hot to the touch, about 3 minutes. (The sugar should be dissolved and the mixture should look like shiny marshmallow cream.)
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat until the cream is cool, about 5 minutes.
4. Beat in the butter one stick at a time.
5. Beat the mixture until it thickens and becomes smooth, about 5-20 minutes.
White Chocolate Ganache
The ganache was the first of the white chocolate components of the opera cake. I had made chocolate ganache before but I have never tried folding in whipped cream in addition to melting the chocolate into cream. The whipped cream left the chocolate light and fluffy. Unfortunately it also left the ganache a bit runny and a lot of the ganache ran out from the middle layer of the cake. Putting it in the fridge for a while fixed that problem though.
7 ounces white chocolate (chopped)
2 tablespoon heavy cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1. Melt the chocolate into the heavy cream in a double boiler.
2. Set the ganache aside and let cool completely.
3. Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl.
4. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate ganache.
5. Refrigerate until used.
White Chocolate Glaze
The opera cake was topped with a simple white chocolate glaze that came together easily.
3 ounces white chocolate (chopped)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1. Melt the chocolate into the heavy cream in a double boiler.
2. Let cool for 10 minutes and then pour over the opera cake.
Assembling the Opera Cake
Assembling the cake was the funnest part of the challenge. After the cake was assembled I chilled it in the fridge and then trimmed the sides to get nice and straight edges.
1. Work on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Cut the cake into 4 6x7 inch pieces.
3. Place 1 sheet of the cake onto the baking sheet and moisten with syrup.
4. Spread 1/2 of the buttercream over the cake.
5. Place 1 sheet of the cake on top of the buttercream and moisten with syrup.
6. Spread the white chocolate ganache over the cake.
7. Place 1 sheet of the cake on top of the ganache and moisten with syrup.
8. Spread the remaining buttercream over the cake.
9. Place 1 sheet of the cake on top of the buttercream and moisten with syrup.
10. Pour the glaze over the cake and smooth it out.
11. Refrigerate until it sets, about 30 minutes.
12. Trim the sides to get a smooth finish.
Overall the opera cake was not too difficult to make and it turned out really good! It tasted great and it disappeared quite quickly! The slight bitterness of the green tea tempered the sweetness of the white chocolate nicely. The cake was nice a moist and light and creamy at the same time. I really enjoyed the opera cake challenge.

I've heard hunting is the great equalizer.
It doesn't matter how fast you are, how much you can bench press or even your gender; with the right equipment and mental fortitude you can successfully take game. Hunting brings people together.
And so does music.
I love talking music in hunt camp. You learn so much about folks while discussing first concerts, chance meetings with musicians and favorite albums.
Which ones were hippies in a past life? Who will openly admit they don't like the Beatles? (For shame…) Who might still be suppressing a little bit of teen angst?
I knew the group of outdoor media and hunting manufacturers at this week's camp at Croton Creek Ranch in Cheyenne, Okla., was up for a little Karen music questionnaire. As soon as I plopped my rear in the rental car at the airport in Oklahoma City, Realtree's Dodd Clifton and I toggled between 70s and 80s rock during our two-hour drive to the ranch.
And the first night in camp, Gary Sefton, one of the hunt hosts, gave us a mini concert of original songs he's written about hunting dogs, armadillos and catfishing outlaws.
So after dinner one evening, I forced several of the guys to give me their quintessential outdoors song — one that gets them in the mood to hunt or fish, a tune that brings back a favorite outdoor memory.
It's only fair to volunteer your answer first when asking such a personal question. The one song that gets me pumped to put a hurtin' on a turkey: The Warrior by Scandal featuring Patty Smyth.
Oh yeah, I'm shooting down the walls of heartache when I pull the trigger of my shotgun.
Here's what some of the other guys listen to:
Dave Maas, managing editor of North American Hunter, claims "Fishin' in the Dark" by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It's not only his all-time favorite song; it actually makes him want to fish. Want to know a little secret about Dave? He likes fishing more than hunting. (Let's just keep that between us, OK?)
Steve Hickoff, Realtree.com Turkey Hunting Editor, loves some Travis Tritt, especially the song, "It's Great Day to Be Alive." It gives him the same vibe as hunting does, makes him feel good, upbeat, content.
Brian Lovett, editor of Turkey & Turkey Hunting, is a bit more hardcore. He has a fond memory of "No Breaks" by The Offspring. He remembers playing it early one morning as he drove three hours to hunt with a friend. It represents how he can't "put the breaks" on his turkey addiction. Brian actually wrote a magazine story about it.
Back to my boy, Dodd Clifton, public relations director for Realtree: He threw down the Grand Funk Railroad's "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home" as his top feel good song. He says it puts him in his place, centers him. When he hears it, he feels like fishing. Good pick, matey!
PRADCO Public Relations Manager Mike Mattly identifies with "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. That song needs no further explanation.
Mike Lambeth, freelance outdoor communicator, rocks out to "Radar Love" by Golden Earring when he's driving to a hunting spot. It gets him pumped (and also takes him back to the groovy '70s. Righteous!
What song would you pick? Send a comment back to me, and let's build the ultimate outdoorsy playlist. Then we can groove, head bang and line dance our way through spring.

Hi! My name is Tara Harris, Vice President of Sales for The JAM Brands. I started in gymnastics and dance when I was about 4 years old in Maryland, then we moved to Virginia where I gave up on gymnastics (I wasn't going to the Olympics anyways) and continued my dancing career. The "cheer bug" got me in middle school - I just loved being on the sidelines! So, when my parents told me we were moving to Kentucky "the Cheerleading Mecca" – I was super excited!
Although, I quickly learned that I probably should've stuck to gymnastics – since it is a necessity in Kentucky cheerleading. But, thanks many private lessons, I made the Eastern High School Cheerleading team where I was coached by our very own, Dan Kessler! I was fortunate enough to also be a part of the National Champion University of Louisville All Girl team. Throughout my high school and college career, I also coached and choreographed for many school and all star teams.
I am back home in Louisville, KY after a five year tour of the Midwest (yes I've lived in four states in five years). My husband and I welcomed our first son, Hayden in August 2013. For me, the best part of my career is the relationships that I have built with many gym owners and coaches around the country. Feeling like a part of so many gym "families" has been a blessing to me and something that I will cherish for many years. I'm always here with an open ear and I would love to hear from you.

I was born and raised in Southern California and currently reside here in Orange County (and no, we don't call it 'The OC"). I started dancing over 20 years ago and I am extremely passionate about the cheer and dance industry! I have taught and choreographed for US Spiritleaders, NDA, COA, several nationally ranked high school and World medaling all-star teams. In 2006, I graduated from Long Beach State University with a degree in Sociology and was also a member of the Long Beach State Dance Team! Aside from competing, I have spent some time in the entertainment industry and can be seen in several award show performances, national commercials ,music videos, and am a former NFL San Diego Charger Girl. Hey I had to contribute to my sports family somehow!
When I am not working I love nothing more then going to the beach with my two little pups. Lillian and Phil Dunphey; pigging out on sushi, as well as traveling (especially internationally), and watching as much NFL football as possible. I am a very girlie tomboy! I absolutely love meeting new friends and look forward to meeting you this season!! If you see me come say hi!

Hi guys! My name is Alyssa Rodger and I am the JAMcare Rep for the Central US. I was born and raised in Manassas, Virginia, and now reside in Louisville, Kentucky. The first time I got involved in cheerleading was in 6th grade, where I had decided to try out for my middle school's team only because I liked their uniforms. After my first practice I realized I was going to like much more than just the uniforms, and my passion for cheer grew quickly. I entered the all-star world a few years later with Cheer Dynasty, and competed on their large co-ed team all through high school.
Going into college, I received the honor to cheer at the University of Louisville, which is by far one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. The football and basketball games were amazing, and I earned four national titles in Daytona with the small co-ed team. I was awarded an academic scholarship when attending UofL, and graduated in 2011 with a degree in Sport Administration.
When I'm not working, you will always find me doing something. I love staying active and playing all kinds of sports, and of course cheering on the Cards any second I can. I love meeting new people and look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hey Guys! My name is Joey Mastrocola and I'm the newest addition to the JAMcare team! Originally from New Jersey, I started cheering at a very young age. I cheered all throughout High School for NJ Spirit Explosion and the World Cup All-Stars. These two programs opened the door to many opportunities and introduced me to one of the most prestigious collegiate cheerleading programs in the country.
I attended The University of Louisville and cheered on the Large Coed team in addition to competing with Gymtyme All-Stars. I was fortunate enough to win three NCA Collegiate National titles and one World Championship. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Communication in 2012 and jumped right back into the cheer industry by securing a job with The JAM Brands Judging and Scoring Department. Working in the Scoring Department for the past 2 years, I've learned more than I could have even imagined. Although I am no longer working in scoring, I am still more than willing and able to assist and give advice when it comes to building your routine, learning the score sheets, and anything else JAM related!
On my downtime I enjoy staying active and living a healthy lifestyle. Crossfit has taken the place of cheerleading as my way to stay competitive and in shape, but I still get back in the cheer gym from time-to-time to tumble around and have some fun! I am so excited to meet everyone in my region and share my knowledge and experiences in hopes to help in any way possible. Let's build a relationship that will last a lifetime! See ya soon!

Hey ya'll! I'm Griffin, the Southeast JAMcare Rep. and your 'go-to-guy' for all things JAM! Graduating from the University of Louisville in 2010, I hold degrees in both Communications and Psychology. Growing up as a Junior Olympian I didn't get my first taste of competitive cheerleading until High School. I helped the Panthers capture the UCA National High School Championship in '03. I then transitioned into All-Star cheerleading winning back-to-back UCA Nationals Championships and placing 3rd at the '06 Cheerleading Worlds with the Kentucky Elite All Stars. My most memorable experience was landing a role in Bring It On: All or Nothing, and most recently appearing in Bring It On: The Musical.
Throughout my collegiate cheerleading career, I captured 3 NCA Grand National Championships, and was selected to perform with Cirque Du Soleil at the '07 Super Bowl. I was a member of the Gymtyme All-Stars winning back-to-back-to-back World titles, and was selected to represent Team USA in '09 at the International All-Star Federation World Championship winning yet another World title and gold medal!
I'm eager to hit the ground running this season and ready to share my success and knowledge with each and every one of you. I'm here to help make your life easier if you'll just let me!

I started in the cheer/dance industry as a nationally competitive dancer on the studio circuit. My love of cheerleading was realized in high school, and I went on to cheer on the nationally-ranked all-girl team at George Mason University, serving as the team's captain. While in college, I was a UCA head instructor, where I received extensive technical training. Since then, I've coached, choreographed & tumbled some of the top high school and all-star teams in Maryland & Virginia, including Cheer Madness, Cheer Dynasty, Maryland Twisters, and USA All Stars. In addition to coaching, I've judged nationally for various companies & continue to speak at conferences.
I made the leap to the event side of the cheer industry in 2008, as a Rep for The Coastal Corporation. I love relating to coaches on issues that they are having and helping with all facets of the industry. I've experienced it ALL, from ALL the different perspectives. Presently, I am the JAMcare rep for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, and serve as a liaison to the creative team at Coastal. Because I love the interaction with the kids, I continue to coach a local high school and at the all star gym in my hometown. Beyond cheer/dance, my proudest achievement is without a doubt the birth of my son, Kimper (no really, it counts as an achievement, he was 10lbs, 8 oz… not a c-section!!).

The red rock formations of Sedona, Arizona rise majestically against the Southwestern landscape in warm shades of deep red and chocolate brown. Jewelry designer Carolyn Pollack recalls her inspiration for the Sedona collection, "In the still of a beautiful Sedona morning, as the sun rose into the Arizona sky, I was transfixed by the warm, healing quality of the red rock formations." Carolyn recreates the serenity of Sedona in her sterling silver gemstone jewelry collection.
• .925 sterling silver jewelry is a combination of 92.5% silver and usually 7.5% copper, although sometimes another alloy or combination of alloys is used. The hallmark of .925 sterling silver on a piece of jewelry ensures the highest quality of silver.
• Copper has played an important role in jewelry since the Bronze Age. Today it is used in almost every piece of jewelry as an alloy with other precious metals to add strength and durability.
• Hessonite garnet, a reddish-brown variation of the gemstone often with honey-colored inclusions, also known as the "cinnamon stone" is said to bring success, wealth and notoriety in society.
• Orange carnelian energizes, creating a positive outlook. Also known as the alternative birthstone for July, carnelian alleviates the fear of death, improves analytical abilities and motivates success in business.
• Red jasper is said to have a powerful grounding quality and the ability to eliminate negative energy. It is believed to strengthen the circulatory system, regulate metabolic energy and promote physical stamina.
• With its rich amber color and luminous golden and chocolate bands, tiger's eye is named for its resemblance to the eye of a tiger. Tiger's eye has long been said to ease sexual tension and help partners connect on psychic levels.
• Picture jasper exudes warmth with its rich chocolate tones and variegated lines forming "pictures" within the stone. Jasper is believed to bring tranquility and protection.
• Smoky quartz lifts depression, dispelling negative moods and promoting positive thinking. A clear, chocolate brown crystal, smoky quartz is believed to alleviate nightmares.
• Maple jasper, a variation of the "spotted stone" jasper, is so named for its similarity to maple syrup with its rich and varied shades of caramel. Jasper is believed to bring tranquility and protection.
Corrugated and swirl-patterned sterling silver beads combine with burnt orange-red and warm chocolate opaque and translucent gemstones to create earthy strands of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Touches of copper accentuate the rusty hues of hessonite garnet and the complex colors of red, maple, and picture jasper.
Sterling silver etched feathers add a unique finishing touch and a contemporary Southwestern style to earrings and a classic lariat necklace.
Capturing the ever-changing russet and chocolate shades of Sedona's red rocks, this Southwestern gemstone collection complements earth-tone wardrobe pieces like rust, brown, or camel tunics, making it a natural choice for autumn. Or add a touch of warm color during the chilly days of winter. A simple outfit transforms to extraordinary by layering various lengths of gemstone beads with a sterling silver necklace. Embrace Southwestern culture with earrings and lariats featuring the sterling silver feather, a traditional motif in Southwestern jewelry design.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

My fellow TT Members, let's provide Titleist management and marketing user-friendly stats in the form of an easy-to-read graph. Place your vote in support of a TT Store.
Over the next 90 days, let's do our best to display our overwhelming support of a Team Titleist Store.

I'd shop there exclusively!!! BRING IT ON!!!
Yes!!!!! need some new swag...
Would totally buy some team titleist gear for the golf team!
Absolutely YES!. I purchased a Titleist Performance Institute hat and I was surprised at the response. Having TT apparel will definitely bring out the Titleist fans.
I'm really not in favor of a Team Titleist store....not because the items that they have aren't excellent, and not because I wouldn't like to purchase some of them, but because the items are special mainly because they can't be purchased....they're more of an honor to receive, and just being able to select them off the shelf would somehow make them less.....special.
I guess I'm also a little afraid that this great community of Titleist loyalists will suddenly become a little too big and cumbersome, and will lose some of the special quality that drew us all here....
This opinion definitely seems to be in the minority, but......it's my opinion....
Yes please!!! :)
I'm on your side BP....TT Gear should be exclusive to it's members as "SPECIAL GIVEAWAYS"
The only advantage to a TT online store would be to quiet all the "En-Titleist-ed" people begging for FREE Bag Tags and Lanyards like they are owed something....
TT is about promoting the game and the Titleist Brand to it's many club playing loyalists in a "SOCIAL MEDIA FORMAT"
Just having the ability to ask questions of Titleist Staff and get feedback and answers from users is enough for me.
I'm sure they get tired of daily requests for free stuff.
I would rather see Titleist make it easier for the Authorized Retailers be able to order TT logos for thier customers.
I would rather see Titleist make it easier for the Authorized Retailers be able to order TT logos for thier customers.
I agree with Rick - let's have the TT logo available to Authorized Retailers (limit them to serious TT members) and we can purchase our gear through them. Most of the Titleist products are not really set up for logos, but for the ones that are (bags, hats, balls), let the authorized retailers work directly with Mike D and the team for the orders.
Bring on the store! My credit card is in hand...
That would be great. Definitely a yes from me!
Last year
Great idea!

(Louis Vuitton SS07/ MbMJ SS09)
1. The Liberty Print
Although I had a bit of a setback with my winter collection having massacred my hand and all, The Crosby Dress and some winter versions of the Fontaine Dress will make into my shop not too long from now. I have of course been thinking and collecting things that inspire me and my spring and summer pieces and while I am planning on a rather restrained color palette using whites and ivories I somehow inherited 2 pieces of liberty print cotton shirting that I have really grown to love. Of course the floral print has been a bit of a wardrobe staple for a couple of seasons now but now that some has accidentally come into my possession, I feel it's my duty to make some lovely goodies with it. What in specific? I haven't totally decided... we shall see :)

|Bill Geivett will be on the excuse-tour shortly.
After a loss to the Orioles, dropping the second game of the three-game set 8-4 behind another sloppy performance, highlighted by a bad error from Troy Tulowitzki that led to a seven run 3rd inning, things are becoming very clear for where this team needs to improve.
However, those improvements that are so obvious to many of the people who follow this team day-in and day-out won't be acknowledged by this front office. In fact, there will be a myriad of excuses that will be told to the media and fans alike.
The first excuse the Rockies will make is to point to injuries. Dan O'Dowd, Bill Geivett, and Dick Monfort will be quick to point out how well the club was doing before Tulowitzki went down in mid-June with a broken rib. They will then point to the poor record with him on the shelf.
After the injury to Tulowitzki is mentioned, there will be subtle mentions of guys not necessarily being injured, but little nagging problems keeping a player from playing to his full ability. The first name will be Carlos Gonzalez. The Rockies front office will say that, even though he only spent two or three weeks on the disabled list, the injury to his thumb essentially zapped his power and limited him to a slap hitter. They will point to that as a reason that they couldn't win more games.
The next name will be Dexter Fowler. The Rockies will talk about his wrist injury and how he bravely played through the energy, but all of those home runs that he hit in April stopped once he hurt his wrist. They will say it with a tone of "if only we weren't so unfortunate."
They will quickly turn that conversation into the one about how many more games they won after losing 98 a year ago. They will talk about it being progress, despite losing several players to injury.
After the injury talks, they will start to point to ineffectiveness by some of the players. They will say that they made a wise move to bring in Jon Garland at the end of spring training to fill the hole that was the fifth spot in the rotation, but he wasn't able to get the job done. They will say that he had a few good starts, but then couldn't figure it out anymore.
When Garland is done being mentioned, they will point to Roy Oswalt. They will say that right when he was starting to get his dominance back, he suffered a leg injury that rendered him essentially useless until the Rockies were long out of the race.
They will move on from Garland and Oswalt and talk about how disappointed they were that Juan Nicasio, despite showing his talent on a few occasions, still struggles with command and isn't to the level that they expected. They still believe in him, they will say, but they were shocked at how he failed to take the next step. They will follow that up with a reminder that he was injured in his rookie campaign, made a miraculous comeback, then was injured in June of 2012, so he was essentially a rookie.
After Nicasio takes his blame, O'Dowd or any other member of the front office will pin the failures of this team on an easy target, Drew Pomeranz. They will say that the lefty who possessed the most talent of anyone failed to get his head in the right place. They will say that despite all of the right things being told to him, how he simply didn't take the advice of the Rockies development team and paid the price for it.
When the club officials are done blaming the players and their injuries, there will be plenty more reasons why they couldn't succeed. They will say that, even if everything had panned out the way they expected, that the Dodgers simply went on a run, much like the Rockies in 2009, that made it their year. They will be quick to point out that their record after the All-Star Break was so good that no one stood a chance.
Then they will talk about how they like the team and how they see so much talent coming up through the farm system. They will talk about Chad Bettis and how he had flashes of brilliance in the midst of being forced to make the jump from Double-A to the big leagues. They will talk about Eddie Butler and how he pitched in the Futures Game and how he could make a big splash. After they mention that, they will be very quick to remind fans of how well they did in the draft by acquiring Jonathan Gray, who looks to be the real deal and could quickly impact the big leagues.
In the end, the Rockies front office and ownership will make no mention of underachievement. They will never acknowledge that this team should have played better than they did. They won't mention that the approach at the plate was terrible, or that the fielding is still sloppy. They most certainly won't mention the lack of options they had both in the fifth spot in the rotation, and on the bench late in games when they needed a big hit.
The unfortunate thing is, this team makes so many excuses that it is easy to predict which ones they will pull out. Make no mistake, the excuse tour should start shortly. Unfortunately, the Rockies owners won't be the ones squelching it, they will be working in full force to make sure everyone is aware of the excuses.

Personal documents are a part of life that are not going to be going anywhere soon. Most documents contain personal information such as addresses, social security numbers, credit card numbers or even bank account numbers. If this type of information got into the wrong hands, then you could be at risk for a stolen identity. Having to fix this will not only take time and effort, but it can damage your credit and bring you lots of headaches. Taking all precautions to protect yourself is the best way to guarantee that your identity will not be stolen.
Since it is inevitable that you will have some documents that have your personal information on it, then finding a way to destroy the confidential documents is the number one most important thing. The best way to do so is by purchasing a paper shredder. However, not all paper shredders are the same. Some provide more security protection than others. The key to getting the best security is in the cutters.
There are three different types of cutters that can come on paper shredders. Strip cut shredders will shred the documents into strips that are the length of the paper and approximately ½ inch wide. This is perfect for bills and documents that do not contain too much personal information. Cross Cut paper shredder will give you a little more protection. This type of cutter will shred the paper into strips that are approximately ½ inch wide and 2 inches long. Finally, for the most security you want to get a micro cut paper shredder. This cutter will shred the paper into micro-sized pieces, making it nearly impossibly to read any information that was posted on the documents.
Another thing that can lead to a stolen identity is credit cards. If you have old, expired credit cards lying around, anybody could get your personal information from them. The best way to prevent this from happening is to get rid of the credit cards when you no longer use them. Cutting them up with scissor will only give you a little protection. The best way to guarantee they will not wind up in the wrong hands is to send them through a paper shredder. Not all paper shredders are compatible with credit cards, so be sure that they are before putting the card in it. Like with documents, the size of the cutter will determine the amount of privacy.
Many paper shredders can also cut through CDs and DVDs. Since a lot of people store personal information on this type of technology, having a way to destroy them is great for keep your privacy. Since stolen identities are becoming more common, it is important to protect your privacy. If you destroy all of your private information with a paper shredder, you will definitely not be at risk for a stolen identity.

Serve Those Who Have Served Us
Help us write stories worth sharing.
Honoring America's Veterans
NASCAR Mercury One Replica Car.
Donate to the Support Israel Fund.
The Next Frontier: Help us begin a new phase of expansion.
"We don't stand between government aid and people in need. We stand with people in need so they no longer need the government."
We restore communities in urgent need.
When disaster strikes a community in America, we want to be there to help. Through the private charity of generous Americans, Mercury One was able to provide 10 truckloads of food and supplies to victims of hurricane Sandy, much-needed supplies to those affected by hurricane Isaac, and over $500,000 worth of supplies to Americans devastated by the historic tornado outbreak of 2011. Donate to the disaster relief fund.
To make our response to disaster more rapid and effective, we are taking steps to offer preparedness training to Americans across the country. This training will address how to respond to emergencies as well as provide strategies for storing emergency supplies such as food, water, and first aid. Our goal is to see every American equipped to address a crisis situation without needing to wait on the Government to intervene.
We protect expressions of faith and values.
We believe that Israel is a unique bastion of Judeo-Christian values in the middle east—values like respect for human life, personal responsibility, and an enduring faith in God. In 2011, Mercury One partnered with Glenn Beck to host Restoring Courage in Jerusalem to support and show solidarity with the people of Israel. This is one example of how we work to serve the interests of one of our most important valuable allies.
Our passion for charity flows directly out of our passion for faith. We believe it's the the duty of faith based organizations and private individuals—not the government—to help lift others out of poverty. We partner with faith based organizations to provide food to those who are on food assistance programs. We envision a future where Americans have banded together with such generosity that government "charity" has become obsolete.
We shine a light on education.
Ever since the government started pushing Common Core—a set of educational standards that threaten to completely centralize our public education system—we have worked tirelessly to expose this program of control for what it is. With partners like Glenn Beck and TheBlaze, we're spreading the word about Common Core and helping to lead an effective, grass-roots resistance so that we can re-claim the education of our children.
Mercury One is actively engaged in preserving and restoring some of America's most valuable historical artifacts. At the Heritage Library, we're acquiring original books, historical documents, and manuscripts. We raised thousands of dollars for the Holocaust Museum of Houston to restore a boat which was used to rescue thousands of Jews. By preserving the lessons of the past, we are ensuring a better future for America.
We foster the spirit of entrepreneurship
Behind a great accomplishment, you will nearly always find an individual striving in freedom. That's entrepreneurship. In order to inspire and support women who are pursuing their dreams, Mercury One hosts an annual women's conference. At the event, ambitious women hear from accomplished leaders such as Michele Bachmann, Diana and John Hagee, Betsy Morgan, and Tania Beck. They leave inspired and empowered to change the world for the better.
Entrepreneurship reflects a mindset of hard work, self reliance, and problem solving. The best time to teach these principles is during childhood. To that end, Mercury One partnered with Glenn Beck and TheBlaze to establish National Lemonade Stand Day. On this occasion, kids around America get a taste of the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, and together we preserve the tradition of entrepreneurship that has made America great.

In 2004, the Bank of the West Classic was the longest continuously running women's professional tennis tournament. The tournament was owned by IMG, which managed the careers of many premier athletes and operated prestigious events (both sporting and non-sporting) worldwide. IMG's objective was to grow tournament income by 15% annually. Following the 2004 event, tournament executive director Erik van Dillen, and director Gus Sampras, considered ways to achieve the growth objective. One possibility was to increase the number of players in the tournament from 28 to 48. The most obvious benefit of this change would be to increase interest in the tournament's early rounds, as the top players would have to play earlier in the week, potentially increasing attendance. However, there were also costs, as well a number of non-financial, considerations. Describes the economics of operating a sporting event, and the potential costs and benefits of the change in tournament size.
learning objective:
To explore economic issues involved in operating a sporting event.
