Terex CEO turns down $1.17 mil bonus and cuts own salary 10 percent
| March 13, 2009 |
Terex Corp Chief Executive Ron DeFeo has reduced his salary by 10 percent and declined a $1.17 million annual bonus, ARI-C News reports.
DeFeo believes he should lead by example and share some of the economic burden the company and industry is presently facing, the news organizations reports.
Base salaries for other Terex executives are also being cut by 10 percent for the remainder of 2009, according to the report. The cost-reduction program also includes reducing work for some areas.
It's refreshing to see some of the top executives sharing in the economic burden. Even a 10-percent reduction in salary may not mean much to execs making in the high six seven figures, but taking a paycut in combination with turning down a $1.17 million bonus says something about character and a company.

The Office of Management and Budget has finally released its long-awaited digital strategy, intended to allow agencies to deliver services and information in a more mobile-friendly way. But there's much more to the road map than just mobile.
Released May 23, the "Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People" strategy focuses on three objectives:
Read the full strategy here.
Under a presidential directive, agencies are to implement the requirements of the strategy within 12 months of the memorandum and comply with the for specific actions detailed in it. Agencies also have to create web pages where they report on progress in meeting the strategy requirements.
In conjunction with the launch of the strategy, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel and federal CTO Todd Park gave a presentation that highlighted the new framework and related efforts.
Speaking at the May 23 Tech Crunch's Disrupt NY 2012 conference in New York City, VanRoekel said the administration will issue no new .gov domain names starting immediately.
"We're going to stop the proliferation of '.govs,'" he said. If an agency needs a new domain for health or safety reasons, the Office of Management and Budget will have "a very laborious process."
"We're going to take an 'outside-looking-in' perspective, instead of an 'inside-out' perspective and drive to new solutions," VanRoekel said.
In accordance with the newly launched strategy, agencies have to convert two priority citizen services to a mobile platform in the next year, VanRoekel said.
"That's going to light the fire that will expand broadly," he said.
Agencies also have convert two back-end systems to application programming interfaces, or APIs.
The administration is launching a Digital Innovation Center as well.
The administration intends to work with the private sector, and "ask from the bottom of our hearts for your help, because we need it," Park said during the same forum with VanRoekel.
"Basically, what we're looking is for is bad-ass innovators ... to come into government for focused, six- to 12-month tours of duty to partner with our best innovators on game-changing projects," Park said in unexpectedly salty language.
As the private and public sectors' innovators come together, Park wants to work in a lean startup mode to get results in these projects within six months. It's called the Presidential Innovation Fellows program.
"We are here at Tech Crunch Disrupt, looking for a few good women and men to come serve their country to code, design, create and kick [butt] for America," he said.
Park and VanRoekel announced five projects, dubbed MyGov, they plan to tackle in this lean startup mode.
The first project is to make government easier to interact with. Officials want a streamlined system, built with the citizen in mind, that centralizes similar websites so people don't have to go numerous sites to file paperwork. Park said people have to go to 14 different websites to file their federal student aid paperwork.
"What the Fargo's up with that?" he said.
The second project is the 20 Percent Campaign. The U.S. Agency for International Development is working to pay foreign nationals, such as the Afghan police force, electronically, instead of with cash. Cash paychecks can lead to waste, fraud and abuse, Park said.
The third project is RFPEZ.
"If you are a startup who has ever tried to sell to the federal government, you know it's a colossal pain," Park said. Most companies don't even try.
An RFP is a request for proposal, in which an agency releases a statement describing what it intends to buy. Companies then can draw up their bids on how they can provide the services to meet those requirements.
Park said the RFPEZ can help the U.S. government and the small IT companies meet each other.The fourth project is the Blue Button for America, modeled on the Blue Button program already underway at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Blue Button allows veterans and their families to download data about their health records. Park wants to clone that program across the country and also stimulate entrepreneurs to build tools so patients can upload their own data into that technology so they can better manage their own health.
The final project is open data initiatives. The idea is to liberate brand-new public data in various areas, such as education and energy, and make it machine readable. Finally the government wants to let entrepreneurs have access to the data "as raw material to create magic," Park said.
Officials want to launch several initiatives with this data, such as a safety data initiative. They want to bring together in a number of innovators to brainstorm in eight hours on how they might use that data. Then they would have their develop prototypes of apps in 90 days.
Those successful app or programs would be displayed at a White House "Data-Palooza," Park said.

It's confusing, and a little disheartening, to see the federal government talk about their slick new "information centric" world, then talk mostly about the devices, mobile technology and apps, saying virtually nothing about how the data will be designed, created and moved seamlessly around the environment, a basic requirement it would seem. In 2002, then DIA Director VAdm Lowell Jacoby announced a similar intelligence community initiative by saying "we must standardize at the content rather than system level." He made it work because the content focus was front and center to pre-epmpt the IT groups' natural penchant to focus on the pipeline, forgetting about the oil flowiing through it. Let's hope this current initiative avoids that trap, but having worked with EOP/OMB for a number of years, I can't be very optimistic.

In Defense of Female Catholic Priests

A Lady Priest? A Lady Bishop?!!
Of course! Why not?
Join Kristina Rake, M.A. (theology and scripture) for this detailed and riveting answer to the Roman Catholic Church's objections against female ordination to Holy Orders. Kristina will explore the 4 reasons why the Roman Church claims it can never ordain women, while examining the historical, theological, biblical, spiritual, and psychological reasons why that position is untenable and why a female priesthood is not just possible, it's valid and necessary.

Suicide Victims of the Roman Catholic Church
in Religion
This episode is dedicated to all the victims of Roman Catholic abuse, whose pain was too much for them and they committed suicide.
I wrote a letter to the editor in response to Pope Francis asking priest abuse victims to forgive him and the church for our abuses. This is a part of that response:
"How can Paul Anthony Carson, whom upon seeing the priest whom raped him walking down the street and then going home and hanging himself, being found by his parents, forgive him?
How can Emma Foster, whom was raped by Father Kevin O'Donnell, while at a primary school whom committed suicide because of it, forgive him?
How can Daniel Neill, whom committed suicide because of his rapist priest, Joseph Gallagher, forgive him?
How can the 30 boys raped at the St Alipius primary school, whom committed suicide forgive him for their rapes?
There are about a thousand or more victims of these evil crimes who committed suicide. Tonight, we honor their memory and call to task the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, all of the Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops, priests, nuns and parishioners, who have ignored this evil and to correct it immediately.
These brothers and sisters of ours...deserve no less.

Black Thursday draws various reviews (Video)
Nov. 22, 2012 at 5:22 a.m.
Updated Nov. 23, 2012 at 5:23 a.m.
Scroll down for updates by our journalists and Black Friday shoppers. Add your updates, photos by Tweeting using #VTXshop. You can win two movie tickets by tweeting best Black Friday photo.
A hush fell over Sears at 8 p.m. Thursday as an overhead speaker came to life with a message: The store was opening its doors.
With the turn of a key, savvy shoppers in search of doorbuster deals sprinted their way in.
The retailer might not have waited for the clock to click to midnight - the official start to Black Friday - but it wasn't alone.
A number of Crossroads-area stores bumped sales up to Thursday night, a decision that drew mixed responses from the night's shoppers.
Post-Thanksgiving shopping is all about the adrenaline rush for Regina Bryan, a Victoria nurse who, like a number of her friends, donned a T-shirt that read "Move it or lose it, it's Black Friday!"
Bryan said the shopping spree is a tradition but admitted she wasn't fond of the earlier hours.
"It's Black Friday," she said outside Sears about 6 p.m. Thursday. "We're here because we do it each year, but I don't like this."
Her friend, Krystin Ortiz, agreed, noting she felt opening on Thursday took away from the experience.
"It's fun to camp out all night," she said. "But when you begin at 8 p.m. it's like, 'That's it?'"
Other shoppers said the change was a good thing.
Victoria teacher Cheryl Garza was first in line outside Bealls, which also opened at 8 p.m. She said she preferred staying up late to rising early for bargains.
"It's just easier," said Garza, who took a "divide and conquer" strategy, with her husband seeking out Wal-Mart buys.
Yadira Gomez, who sat behind her in line, agreed.
"It's better to just get it done early," she said with a glance at 4-year-old Franky Cornejo, a nephew who accompanied her while shopping.
Melissa Gutierrez, who stood at the front of Target's line alongside boyfriend, Fernando Galarza, remained neutral.
She said she knew early hours would probably bother others, but she didn't mind the switch.
Thanksgiving has never been a major holiday to her, the Jack in the Box team leader said, so it was OK to hit the stores.
"Now, if it was Christmas," she said, "that would be another story."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
How I Spent My Winter Vacation
Essays by the Winnipeg Jets* for Claude Noel's training-camp class
Dear Mr. Noel,
First, I gotta tell you I would have rather been in your class all winter than off on a four-month holiday. It wasn't really a holiday at all.
But I did get to do a bunch of neat things. First, I went to see the polar bears. Polar bears are awesome. They ought to be a logo for an NHL team some day.
I also did the weather on CTV one night, where they have this really nice lady named Colleen Bready. I went to the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame dinner. I even got to play some hockey on top of a parkade.
But like I said, I'm way happy the vacation is over. I am ready to learn.
- Little Jimmy Slater
Dear Mr. Mayweather,
Winnipeg is no Atlanta. You know what I mean, Floyd?
As I told the Vancouver Sun last March, in Atlanta "you're sitting at your rooftop pool in January and it's 80 degrees." Winnipeg is obviously a lot colder.
So I was pretty stoked to get the chance to do a couple of different things, like play in the KHL.
But that didn't turn out like I expected, Floyd. I mean, when I got off the plane, I wasn't even in Russia. I was in some place called Belarus. Remember when the Belarussian hockey team beat Sweden in the 2002 Winter Olympics, Floyd? I don't. I was 11.
Anyway, when I got back in the U.S.A., I spent some time chilling in Vegas. You know how it is in Vegas, don't you, Floyd?
I was sitting in a hotel room when some guy handed me this awesome phone. I tried to call you on it, but I wound up pocket-dialling everyone in Canada on something called the Twitter.
Turns out they got mad because there was some lockout thing going on.
- Little Evander Kane
Dear Mr. Noel,
I spent my winter vacation at the gym and performing community service as instructed by a court of law.
I believe that satisfies your questions.
- Increasingly little Dustin Byfuglien
Dear Mr. Noel,
I had an awful lot of homework to do this winter. I put in a tremendous amount of hours. It was really hard, but I had one heck of a tutor: His name is Mr. Fehr. He's a very smart guy. I learned an awful lot from him. One day, I might be just like him.
Toward the end of my remedial classes, I also got a lot of help from Mr. Beckenbaugh. In fact, you might say I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for him.
Like I said to The Canadian Press, "When it got to points you didn't know what to do next, you could go to him and talk to him about it and there was a way to work your ideas through a third party who was really able to help the process."
Now that we're back, I hope my work with Mr. Fehr and Mr. Beckenbaugh won't jeopardize my future in your class, Mr. Noel
- Little Ronnie Hainsey
Dear Mr. Noel,
I spent my winter vacation in Windsor, the warmest city in Ontario. It's right across the river from Detroit. I can show where it on the map if you want, Mr. Noel.
You're a real swell teacher. I promise I'll do good this year.
- Little Kyle Wellwood
Dear Mr. Noel,
We haven't met, but I look forward to being in your class.
I spent my winter getting used to my new surroundings, and so far, I like what I see. It's a little bit like Helsinki -- only a lot grimmer.
I learned quite a bit last year from Mr. Sutter, my old teacher. He's really brought up my grades.
I hope to sit at the front of your class, too.
- Little Olli Jokinen
Dear Mr. Noel,
Before I go over to see Principal Cheveldayoff, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I mean, really, really sorry.
If you need me, I'll be writing on the blackboard after class.
- Little Ondrej Pavelec
Dear Mr. Kane,
My name is Al Montoya. You gave me a concussion. Prepare to die.
- Little Al Montoya
Dear Mr. Noel,
I didn't get much of a vacation. I worked hard all winter, even more than Ronnie did. I've been in this place called St. John's, where it's foggy all day, everybody keeps trying to make me drink screech at night and when you go for dinner they feed you cod's tongues and dressing.
Needless to say, I'm really motivated to stick around this year and won't be wandering away. I promise to stick to your plan.
- Little Alex Burmistrov
Dear Mr. Noel,
I went to Russia over the holidays and managed to score five goals. That's four more than Evander scored over there. Just sayin.'
I realize you may not have room in your class, but if you do, that would be awesome.
- Little Marky Scheifele
Dear Mr. Noel,
Recess is over. Let's get on with it.
- Little Andrew Ladd

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

[51] lnt.'Cl. ..C08f 29/56 58 Field of Search ..260/898 1 D'awmgs BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Plasticizer migration is a problem encountered with floor polish films. Most of the new hard floor coverings are made of vinyl that is rich in plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate. The plasticizer is able to migrate from the flooring into a polish film if the composition of the polish film has an affinity 'for the plasticizer. The occurrence of such migration causes the dirt pick-up of the polish to increase and detracts from the usefulness of the polish.
It has now been found that the use of a blend of a styrene copolymer and an especially prepared styrene multi-polymer containing controlled amounts of styrene, acrylic, or methacrylic acid, an ester of such acid and acrylonitrile results in overcoming the affinity of the polish film for plasticizers.
The term plasticizer migration is used herein to define the migration of plasticizers used in floor tiles, such as vinyl tiles, into a polish film containing acrylate or styrene-acrylate polymers, the migration leading to tackiness in the film that makes the film subject to dirt pick-up.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Floor polish compositions containing alkali soluble resins, waxes, surfactants and aqueous emulsion styrene polymers are made resistant to plasticizer migration by the use of a specific admixture of styrene polymers. The polymer content of the admixture consists essentially of 50-80 percent by weight of: (a) a styrene copolymer consisting of styrene and 5-10 percent acrylic or methacrylic acid and 50-20 percent by weight of: (b) a styrene multipolymer consisting of -40 percent by weight of styrene and 90 60 percent of a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers of the formula:
wherein R is COOH, COOR wherein R is an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms, and C E N, and R, is hydrogen or methyl. This mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers contains from l-lO percentby weight of said monomer where R is COOH, 30-80 percent of said monomer where R is -COOR and 10-25 percent of said monomer where R is -C E N, based on the multi-polymer.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The floor polish composition contains a specific ratio of a styrene emulsion copolymer and a specially copolymer is generally termed a hard polymer because of its brittle properties and although forming a tough film, is subject to crazing or cracking if used alone in floor-polishes. When employed in polishes, significant amounts of plasticizers are needed to reduce the brittle character of the polymer.
The specially prepared styrene emulsion multipolymer consists of a polymer formed from 10-40 percent styrene and -60 percent of a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The ethylenically unsaturated monomers are all of the general formula:
R1 I CH2=(|3R wherein R is -COOH; or R is COOR wherein R is an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms; or R is C E N; and R, is selected from hydrogen and a methyl group.
In order to obtain the beneficial properties of the polish of the present invention, the resistance to plasticizer migration, the mixture must have certain percentages of the various ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers must contain based on the multi-polymer, from l-lO percent by weight of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer wherein R is COOl-l, such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid. From about 30-80 percent of the mixture must be the ethylenically unsaturated monomer wherein R is COOR with R being an alkyl group of from l-8 carbon atoms, such as ethyl acrylate, Z-ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate and the like. The remaining monomer, acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile must be present in about 5-25 percent.
The emulsion polymers are readily prepared from the desired monomers by conventional aqueous emulsion polymerization procedures. Preferably, the monomers are premixed, the catalyst is premixed to form an aqueous solution or slurry and these two premixes added to an aqueous charge in a reactor. The catalyst premix comprises water, catalyst, dispersants, and emulsifying agents. Conventional polymerization catalysts or mixtures thereof including potassium persulfate, benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, di-tertiary-butyl peroxide, azobisisobutryonitrile and the like. The catalysts are generally used in about 0.0ll.0 part per parts of total monomers.
Conventional emulsifying agents such as alkali metal salts of long chain alkyl sulfates and sulfonates, ethylene oxide condensates of long chain fatty acids, alcohols or mercaptans, sodium salts of sulfonated hydrocarbons, alkyl arylsulfonates and the like are usable. Representative emulsifying agents include such compounds as sodium lauryl sulfate, sulfosuccinic acid esters, sodium salts of bioctyl sulfosuccinic acid, sodium salts of sulfonated cetyl alcohol, sodium pyrophosphate and alkyl aryl polyether alcohol.
The polymerizations are carried out under acidic conditions and the aqueous emulsion polymer -pI-l raised to a pH of about 8-10, following the polymerization, with inorganic or organic bases such as sodium hydroxide, ammonium, hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, monoethanolamine, etc. The water content of the aqueous system is generally such that between about 30-55 percent solids are present during the decreased 'as' desired.
emulsion/are mixed togetherand there are added thereto plasticizers, dispersing agents or coalescing agents, an alkali soluble resin and a suitable wax emulsion, all,of which are generally known in the art. The particular polish components that are added to the novel blend of styrene polymers of the invention are up to the user. These components are familiar to the polish formulation art and are not critical to the present invention. 7
Examples of suitable alkali-soluble resins are rosin acid, maleate-modified rosin acid ester, shellac, styrene, styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers, polyesters or alkali soluble alkyds, pentaerythritol esters of rosin, manilla gum, Loba gum and the like.
Suitable waxes, which are generally added as about a -20 percent by weight aqueous emulsion, are the animal, vegetable and synthetic waxes such as carnuba, polyethylene, polypropylene, oxidized microcrystalline wax, beeswax, montan, and the like.
In addition, about 0.5-1 percent based on the total polish composition of a levelling or coalescing agent is added, such as tributoxy ethylphosphate, triethyl phosphate, tributyl phosphate, tricresyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and the like.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples wherein parts are parts by weight unless otherwise indicated.
EXAMPLE I A styrene copolymer emulsion (Emulsion A) was prepared using conventional procedures to produce a copolymer containing 90 parts styrene and 10 parts acrylic acid.
A styrene multi-polymer emulsion (Emulsion B) was prepared, by conventional emulsion polymerization, having the following compositions:
Styrene 13.5 parts Ethyl Acrylate 65 parts Acrylonitrile parts Acrylic Acid 1.5 part Both copolymer emulsions were adjusted to a solids glycol; 0.1 part 2-pyrolidone; 3.7 parts water and 0.4.
parts FC-128 at 1 percent solids. The polish composition had a total solids content of 14.9 per cent and a pH of 8.8.
50 parts Styrene Z-Ethylhexyl Acrylate 45 parts 5 parts Acrylic Acid A polish composition was prepared similar to that of Example 1 but using Emulsions C-and D in place of Emulsions A and B. The polish composition had a solids content of 13 percent and a pH of 8.9. v
EXAMPLE Ill Thev floor polish compositions of Examples 1 and II were compared with respect to plasticizer migration. The plasticizer migration was determined by the amount of soiling on dirt pick-up evidenced by the polish when used on various substrates. Six substrateswere used, including linoleum, vinyl asbestos tile, solid vinyl tile, asphalt tile, rubber tile and vinyl corlon. The application and test methods used to prepare the floor samples were from CSMA Bulletin No. 339-63. Numerical values were used to rate the results as follows: (1) Excellent; (2) Excellent-Good; (3) Good-Excellent; (4) Good; (5) Good-Fair; (6) Fair-Good; (-7) Fair; (8) Fair-Poor; (9) Poor-Fair; (10) Poor; (1 l) Unacceptable. The results of the testing are listed in Table 1.
TABLE I Time of Dirt Pick-Up Resistance Substrate Exposure Polish of Polish of Example 1 Example 11 Linoleum 1 day 3 5 1 week 2 4 Vinyl Asbestos 1 day 3 5 1 week 5 8 Vinyl 1 day 3 8 1 week 7 10 Asphalt 1 day 3 5 1 week 5 5 Rubber 1 day 3 5 1 week 3 7 Vinyl Corlon 1 day 1 5 1 week 3 5 As is seen from the test results, the polish formula- I tion of Example 1 has consistently increased dirt pickup resistance, i.e, reduced plasticizer migration, than a comparable polish having a polymer blend without the acrylonitrile content.
EXAMPLE 1V Polish formulations prepared generally according to Example 1 and having the following blends of styrene copolymers and styrene multi-polymers are also resistant to plasticizer migration:
95 parts styrene 65 parts ethyl methacrylate 8 parts acrylic acid 15 parts acrylonitrile lV-4 5 parts methacrylic acid 20 parts styrene 95 parts styrene 68 parts ethyl acrylate 2 parts acrylic acid parts acrylonitrile What is claimed is:
rated monocarboxylic acid selected from acrylic and methacrylic acid and;
b. said styrene multi-polymer consisting of 10-40 percent by weight of styrene and -60 percent by weight of a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers of the formula:
R17 CHg=( JR wherein R is selected from -COOH;C0OR wherein R is an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms; and C EN; and R is hydrogen or methyl; said styrene multi-polymer containing 1-10 percent by weight of said monomer where R is -COOH, 30-80 percent of said monomer where R is -COOR and 5-25 percent of said monomer where R is C E N.

Nowitzki relishes role in crunch time
DALLAS -- The German kid who used to stand in the corner with the game on the line has grown up.
Dirk Nowitzki has developed into one of the NBA's most dominant clutch players. That's not an opinion. It's fact, and it's backed by a bunch of statistics:
More on the Mavericks
News, notes and analysis of the Mavericks from ESPNDallas.com's Tim MacMahon, Jean-Jacques Taylor and our team.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
As a 7-footer with shooting guard skills, Nowitzki has always been a matchup nightmare. However, a maturation process had to take place before he had the mentality to be the Dallas Mavericks' go-to guy in game-deciding moments.
Early in his career, Nowitzki knew his place in the crunch-time pecking order with the Mavs' Big Three. Michael Finley was the first option. Steve Nash was next. Nowitzki was the perimeter threat who spaced the floor.
"Now he wants that shot," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said. "There's like no doubt in anybody's mind that he's taking that shot -- and you can't stop it."
Nowitzki, who might be the most humble superstar in the NBA, has even cultivated a crunch-time swagger. His array of celebratory (often goofy) gestures is approaching the depth of his arsenal of offensive moves.
There's the classic Dirk dagger face, an eyebrow-scrunching/tongue-wagging look usually accompanied by an uppercut fist pump and displayed after drilling a win-sealing shot.
Last season, he added a routine of tugging the bottom of his jersey with one hand and extending his index finger on the other overhead, which he went with late in his franchise-record 29-point fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz and after both of his overtime buzzer-beaters.
And he debuted the Double Guns -- a flexing of both biceps that earned him great grief in the locker room -- after an and-1 drive that highlighted his 11-point overtime period against the San Antonio Spurs.
The emotional displays are simply an extension of the mentality a player must have to thrive in such situations.
"We all know this league is a lot about confidence," Nowitzki said. "That's really it. Once you get the ball, your teammates believe in you and you believe in yourself that you can make that big play down the stretch. For the team, I've got to keep coming."
It doesn't matter what Dirk has done for the first 45 minutes or so. He still expects to deliver when Dallas needs him most. For example, take a look at his late heroics in the Mavs' past two games.
Nowitzki had an awful night against the Charlotte Bobcats ... until he scored the Mavs' final 10 points in regulation, forcing overtime with a personal 6-0 run in the final 1:16. He followed that up in the extra frame by hitting a pair of go-ahead fadeaways in the final 24 seconds, including a 10-footer off the dribble with 1.7 seconds left that stood as the game winner. He made seven of his final 11 shots in a game that he started 1-of-11.
A couple of nights later, the New Orleans Hornets held Nowitzki to a season-low 10 points. Eight of those came in the fourth quarter of the 94-90 win, including four in the final minute.
"The definition of a franchise player is that he wants the responsibility for winning and losing," said coach Rick Carlisle, who compared Nowitzki's clutch demeanor to ex-Indiana Pacers star Reggie Miller's. "He wants the ball in his hands when the game is being decided, and the only thing he thinks about when he gets the ball in his hands is finding a way to win the game."
Added Jason Kidd: "He loves that stage. When we need a basket, he loves to have the ball, to make the play. He just loves the atmosphere. He doesn't panic."
Nowitzki notes that he isn't the only accomplished clutch shooter on the Mavs. He often calls Jason Terry one of the best in the league. Kidd is also a cold-blooded spot-up shooter. Nowitzki won't hesitate to give up the ball and get one of them a wide-open look if he's double- or triple-teamed. Dirk just wants the opportunity to make the decision.
It's not a coincidence that the Mavs have been so successful in close games (18-5 last season and 8-1 this season in contests decided by five or fewer points). Nor is it a coincidence that Nowitzki has become better with age in clutch situations.
"I think once you get older, more experienced, the game slows down for you down the stretch," Nowitzki said. "Early [in a career], you might rush and be like, 'Hey, the game's on the line; gotta do something quick.' Whereas now, you take your time, you're more poised and you're just more confident.
"If I take my time, I feel like I can get a good shot up."
Debating that point is as difficult as defending Dirk with the game on the line.

Denver Nuggets: The asking price for Golden State Warriors point guard just turned free agent Gilbert Arenas has just gone up. Just ask his agent. "If you're asking whether a starting number of $7 million is enough to sign Gilbert Arenas, the answer is unequivocally no, it's not," Dan Fegan said in the Denver Post. "Gilbert has the same potential as any of the other top young point guards in the league, like Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Baron Davis," Fegan said at his downtown Denver hotel. "I want you to name a point guard at 20 years of age that puts up numbers that were better." Teams can begin negotiating with free agent on July 1 and can sign them as early as July 16. Cleveland Cavaliers: While the NY Daily News is reporting that Cleveland is set to offer Jeff Van Gundy the head coaching job any day now, the Cleveland Plain Dealer is saying that Pau Silas is still in the hunt while Larry Brown and others may not even be interviewed. "I've really enjoyed my time at Turner," Van Gundy said in the Daily News. "I still don't know what is going to happen. Right now I'd say it's a 50-50 proposition whether I'll be coaching next season." Portland Trail Blazers: Reports from Europe indicate that center Arvydas Sabonis is leaving the Blazers again and will join his Lithuanian team, instead. Portland officials, however, dispute this news. "From our standpoint, and from his agent's standpoint, it is as if this report never happened," Bob Whitsitt said in the Oregonian. "If he had made up his mind, he would have called his agent and talked with him immediately." The 38-year-old Sabonis has two years left on his contract but has neither told his agent nor any Blazer official of his intentions next season. "I have pondered well for a while, and now I can tell you the result," Sabonis was quoted as saying to the council on the Euroleague Internet site. "It is time for me to end my time in the Americas, I have to help my dear Zalgiriukas next season by playing on the team."

Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer.
Nathaniel Hathorne was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and Elizabeth Clarke Manning Hathorne. He later changed his name to "Hawthorne", adding a "w" to dissociate from relatives including John Hathorne, a judge during the Salem Witch Trials. Hawthorne attended Bowdoin College, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825; his classmates included future president Franklin Pierce and future poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled ... more »

Nathaniel Hawthorne Poems
The Ocean
The ocean has its silent caves, Deep, quiet and alone; Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none.
The Darken'd Veil
Oh, could I raise the darken'd veil Which hides my future life from me, Could unborn ages slowly sail Before my view -- and could I see
Go To The Grave
Go to the grave where friends are laid, And learn how quickly mortals fade,
Address To The Moon
How sweet the silver Moon's pale ray, Falls trembling on the distant bay, O'er which the breezes sigh no more,
My Low And Humble Home
I left my low and humble home, Far from my Father's fields to roam. My peaceful cot no more had charms, My only joy was War's alarms.
Forms Of Heroes
Ye forms of Heroes slumb'ring here, Beneath these tombstones cold and drear, On which the moss of age has slept,
Earthly Pomp
Oh, earthly pomp is but a dream, And like a meteor's short-lived gleam; And all the sons of glory soon Will rest beneath the mould'ring stone.

Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.

I did my first doule red cell donation yesterday afternoon. It put me at the 3 gallon mark for my total blood donations. Only 17 more gallons until I am tied with my grandfather.
To any other blood donors on this forum. Thank you for the gift of life.
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing?
Si vis pacem para bellum.
There are two ways of doing something. Right and again.

You guys are incredibly awesome. I work in a hospital lab and my favorite department to work is the Blood Bank. I guarantee you volunteers like you save lives every day. Thank you.
I, myself, am only a one gallon donor. I am now disqualified to donate due to some medication I'm on.
Congratulations! 5 gallon pin here, but due to maintenance prescriptions, can no longer donate.
But why lie? I was just really into those cookies at the blood bank...........
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Couple of pints. I'm a noob!
I was told that I cannot donate blood, reason - being stationed in Germany from 1986 to 1989 years.
I am on the bone marrow donor bank but I don't donate blood. I did in high school when they came to me, but today it is inconvenient for me. That is a crappy excuse.
I'm O neg so they come beating on my door every 52 days. I am also on the marrow registry, just have not ever gotten a call for that. I am pretty apprehensive about marrow as it is pretty invasive and, I understand, painful.

Cold extremities?
My first official post as a new mom!
I've noticed lately that my son has cold hands and feet, while the rest of him is warm. I already have to watch as he has a cast on his leg and we need to check the warmth of his little toes. Should I be concerned?
YAYY! When was he born? Was the cast a result of the breech?
I don't know if I can be of much help. My DD was sooo hot natured, from day one. And being born in winter meant we tended to bundle her up well. The more we bundled her the more she cried, until we figured it out.
Extremeties, though, are a bit different than overall body temp. Did you get some of those infant hand covers - the ones that keep them from scratching themselves? That should be good for the hands - you don't have to turn the guy into an eskimo. Just give his body an opportunity to trap his own body heat and keep it close. Also in the first few weeks, head covering is key.
Congratulations on the new baby.
Newborns have a harder time regulating their body temps. The nurses in the hospital were always checking temperatures to make sure the baby was warm enough. If they didn't think she was warm enough, they'd bring in a heated blanket.
I'm having a problem at night in keeping my baby warm without overbundling her. I've been putting her in the little sleepers and gowns with the little hand covers. She doesn't like to be swaddled as much as she did in the beginning, but I still try to get her arms wrapped up in the blanket so they aren't out.
My mother always used to say that babies have cold hands and feet because they wave them around so much. LOL! I wouldn't worry...or over bundle the baby as long as the body feels warm. As Adella said newborns have a hard time regulating body temps....both for cold and for warm.
But noticing the date of the first post....the problem is likely resolved!

Yes...now I more check his arms and legs to see if he's cold. But I can't put a blanket on his arms to keep them warm when he's sleeping with them above his head :) He seems to be a very warm baby, just like his dad. We skip the snow suit altogether and opt for removeable blankets and a hat because he just burns up. I'll try to put a blanket on him as he sleeps and he'll start fussing right away because he's too warm! LOL
also, not sure if this works for babies, but...
I recently read a story that said an adult's body will take heat AWAY from extremeties to send it to the head and kidneys and lungs. So, if your hands are cold, put on a hat. Or an undershirt.
I know this post was a while ago. But someone else reading this might see whether putting a small knit cap on the baby, or adding an undershirt (or a sweater, if there's already an undershirt in play), will actually make the extremeties warmer.
