The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distin-
guished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of
science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter
granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the
federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the
National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the
National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autono-
mous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National
Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National
Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs,
encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievement of engineers. Dr.
Charles M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to se-
cure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy
matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to
the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal
government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and educa-
tion. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to
associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of fur-
thering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general
policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of
both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing
services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The
Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph, J.
Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research

In response to a request by the Department of Homeland Security, the National Research
Council formed an ad hoc committee to organize a two-day workshop to discuss the use of social
network analysis (SNA) for the purpose of building community disaster resilience. The
workshop was held February 11-12, 2009, in Washington, D.C., and engaged a group of
approximately 30 researchers in the fields of SNA and resilience science as well as emergency
management practitioners from different regions of the country. Gaps in knowledge regarding
SNA and its use for constructing designed networks for the purpose of increasing resilience were
discussed, as were areas of research that could fill those gaps.
The National Research Council greatly acknowledges the work of the planning
committee that designed this workshop. Susan L. Cutter of the University of South Carolina was
the workshop moderator and served as chair of the workshop planning committee. Kathleen
Carley, Carnegie Mellon University; William A.V. Clark, University of California, Los Angeles;
Eric Holdeman, ICF International; Randolph H. Rowel, Morgan State University; and Monica
Schoch-Spana, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center served as members of the planning
committee. All put a great deal of time, thought, and effort into planning an agenda, identifying
and inviting speakers and attendees, and preparing a detailed agenda book that included a list of
select references on SNA and resilience. Committee members also served as moderators and
rapporteurs for individual breakout sessions.
The National Research Council would like to thank Kathleen Carley; Carnegie Mellon
University; Fran H. Norris, Dartmouth Medical School; Carl Latkin, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health; and Michael Byrne, ICF International for providing excellent workshop
presentations intended to orient attendees regarding the subject matter to be discussed.
Additionally, the workshop would not have been successful without the important contributions
of those who attended the event. A complete list of participants is found in Appendix C of this
document. Discussions were informative, professional, and conducted in a cooperative spirit
among, in large part, individuals who do not often have the opportunity to collaborate.
This workshop summary was prepared by National Research Council staff following the
workshop. It represents the findings of the workshop participants as interpreted by a rapporteur.

Oak Island, off the southeastern coast of North Carolina, includes the towns of Oak Island and Caswell Beach. It is known for its coastal beauty and family atmosphere. The Island offers more than 14 miles of Atlantic coastline with quiet surf, thanks to its moderate tides. Or, if you prefer there is the tranquility and natural beauty of the Intracoastal Waterway, which runs sleepily along the ''backside '' of the island.
Only minutes from historic Southport, this family-oriented community abounds with water-related activities for all ages, including fishing, swimming, surfing, kayaking, boating and many other fun and exciting water-sports. The area is also known for its challenging golf courses. In fact, there are over 100 courses all within an hours' drive from the center of Brunswick County! Stroll, run, walk, or bike from one end of the island to the other! Visit the many gift shops, boutiques, art galleries and specialty stores along the way. There's lots of casual dining,too: an abundance of fresh seafood, steaks, buffets, delis and more! Of course, there's a lot to be said for just kicking back and ''soaking up the sun'' on this scenic and peaceful little ''island get-away ''.

A relaxing time
August 19, 2014
We stayed the first week of August and really enjoyed ourselves in spite of heavy rain the first couple of days. My kids went back and forth between the ocean and pool which are a stone's throw from each other. People were very friendly and helpful about where to shop, fish, eat etc. What a nice place to visit and away from big crowds. A great place to relax. Thanks to the owner, Terri, for the making the last minute trip an easy one. Bill

great location, beach view and home away from home
August 6, 2014
This was our first time to Oak Island and we were so happy to rent this condo! We had 6 people and it was comfy and close to beach, pool, shops and sightseeing! Loved the porch and condo was clean, and in a great location. Terri was very responsive and so was the maintenance staff. Highly recommend this to families!

Little slice of heaven!
July 16, 2013
Our family was looking for a peaceful beach get away for our summer vacation and Oak Island delivered beyond our expectations. The condo was clean and comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our ocean escape. Everything worked flawlessly which enabled us to maximize our beach time. Terri and Joe were wonderfully accommodating and were genuinely interested in assuring an enjoyable week. We will definitely visit again.

Wedding at the Beach
May 29, 2013
The condo was well maintained, clean and decorated with a beachy atmosphere. The bathrooms and kitchen had been upgraded/remodeled. It was very close to a beach house that I co-owned that was occupied by the bride and her family. The view from the balcony was great. I read a lot since my broken ankle was mending. My daughter walked on the beach with her best friend as the weather was cool. I would recommend to friends and family.
Frank Chandler
Great place!!
August 15, 2012
Stayed at the Condo the end of July, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It was clean and as advertised. Very short walk to the beach, which was clean and not crowded. We had an issue with a failed water heater a few days in, and the owners responded immediately. It was replaced and running with very little disruption. The owner clearly works to make sure your trip is a great one. Perfect place for family, especially if you appreciate the more quiet beach - as opposed to some spring break type locales. Parking is right outside your door, and the area appears very safe. I would recoomend it to a friend, and we hope to return next year.

Beach vacation
July 30, 2012
We had a good time staying at this condo. It is great proximity to Yaupon Beach, Southport, Ft Fisher and Wilmington! The condo had pool acces which was great and a close walk to the beach. A nice surprise was the free wi-fi and you can leave your tent and chairs on the beach. But be careful, it is windy! The condo itself was nice and there was plenty of room for the four adults and three small kids. We never ran out of hot water in the showers and everything worked like at home. The transactions were easy and Terri was so friendly. This whole experience made for an easy vacation. The only thing we didn't like was the neighbors above us. But after a couple nights we got used to it. You have a beach view from your balcony and lots of patio furniture!

We Loved Everything About The Stay And The Condo. The Owners Were Very Helpful With Everything We Needed. The Condo Was Very Clean And Had Everything You Could Ask For. Thank You To Terri And Joe For Sharing Such A Comforting Place For Me And My Family. The Beach Was Not Very Crowded Which We Loved That About It. Over All Very Pleasant Experience!!

Perfect Spot to Unwind and Enjoy the Ocean
September 11, 2011
Oak Island Villas provide a perfect place to hide away from the busy world, steps away from an amazing beach and across the road from ocean view golfing. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a long walk on the beach, go for a relaxing bicycle ride or simply relax poolside while working on your tan, this is the place to be. Condo units are clean, spacious with a nice layout conducive to relaxation and featuring amazing balconies with ocean view, a perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening meal outside. The beach, just steps away, delivers a stunning morning sunrise vista, stage for an unforgettable sunset and a perfect spot for stargazing free of light pollution. If looking for a relaxing beach-side location, this is the spot.

Fantastic Vacation Spot
July 28, 2011
This condo is fantastic, right on the beach, wonderful pool when you have had enough sand and very guest friendly! The condo was very clean and exactly as shown in photo's. Having all towels and linens provided was so nice, less to pack in the car!! It is a perfect spot for a beach vacation whether it be a couples getaway or a family vacation with the kids!!! Terri & Joe made everything so easy with the information they emailed prior to our visit and it helped to make it such a stress free vacation. Fantastic rental for the price as well!!!

Peaceful Family Vacation!!!
August 18, 2010
Loved our condo it was all that it promised to be and more!! We loved the quiet, clean, soft, sandy ocean beach. Had a wonderful time!! The folks at Oak Island lighthouse were able to squeeze us in for a tour- yeah what a wonderful view from the top!! My teenage sons each caught a shark on the pier. Not that they're telling anyone it was less than a foot long! Rented several times before and I've never had such caring and conscientous owners, thank you Terri & Joe for making us feel most welcome! Had a minor problem, the maintenance man was there in a flash, to take care of things! Really enjoyed Duffer's restaurant at the golf course. Got to watch a meteor shower from the beach without all the light polloution we have at home, AWESOME!

Paradise Found
July 20, 2010
My family and I spent a wonderful, relaxing week here. Having 2 balconies was a real plus. The condo unit is very quiet and relaxing. Just a short walk to the pool and beach. The layout of the condo provided 2 baths and plenty of room for everyone. There was always a great breeze for relaxing on the balcony while reading or just watching the ocean. Hope to come back next year.

Family Vacation
June 11, 2008
Our stay was FABulous! The property was well maintained and we saw security montoring the properties often. The pool was clean and the condo was equipped with all that our family of 5 needed for cooking and cleaning. The owner of this particular condo is now called a friend...very hospitiable and happy to be a part of our vacation. The residents and employees at all establishments we visited were also seemingly happy to a part our vacation experience as well. If you are looking for a great family atmosphere for relaxation...this is the place to stay!!!! By the way, you have to climb Oak Island's lighthouse...awesome employees there!!

Instead of just taking pictures of your planned destination, take pictures of your entire trip -- document everything. Having photos from your departure to everything in between, will make sure that no moments are forgotten!
Don't forget the small moments either. Candid photos of the kids snoozing on the plane or the chaos of the hotel room are great for remembering what happened -- they are also much more personal then having dozens of posed photos.
For an interesting and well-balanced scrapbook or photo album [online or off], make sure there are people in your photographs! As a rule, pictures with people in them are much more interesting to friends and family than something that looks like a postcard. So, in between the beautiful scenery, remember to include people in your shots.
Photos are also great for showing scale. If you want to remember just how huge the Grand Canyon was or how tall that wild roller coaster was, take a picture of you in front. Action shots are also great to include in your album; if you went waterskiing or rafting, make sure someone gets a shot of you.
Have someone else take photos from time-to-time. If you need to stick your arm out and take pictures to include yourself or if you ask a stranger to take a snap, then do that! Remember you're not just the designated photographer - it's your vacation too!

Slate's Mike Pesca and I discuss what you can tell about a workplace based on the kitchen. Then I offer Mike a detailed critique of his sandwich construction methods.

Comments by KansasGuest
I like the way you think!
The ruby slippers were specific to the 1939 MGM movie, and protected by copyright. The book is now in public domain. But, its contents can only be used if they are book-specific. Hence, the silver slippers, which is what Dorothy wore in the book.
I've revised my earlier opinion & think Ward did kill the dog...but not to prove to Garrett that he was strong. The entire deer hunting scene was foreshadowing what Ward was going to do. He killed the dog from a distance because he knew Garrett would refuse to bring it back & was probably going to leave it to starve in the wilderness. The dog depended on Ward for its survival. So, either he give it a merciful death running free, as the dog enjoyed, or do an up close betrayal. Garrett forced Ward to chose which way the dog would die. So, he chose the most humane one he could given the circumstances.
It's kind of sad that Emma turned her own "superpower" into a cave in which she is hiding. The lady has the ability to root out lies. But, she herself would rather choose to live a lie in NYC, pretending to have no outside connections or responsibilities to a family that her son obviously loves. In the first season, it made sense that a person who was on her own her entire life, growing up in foster care, relying on herself her entire adult life, would have trust issues. But, come on - it's been years now, and people have risked their lives for her, and she for them. It feels like she's a smaller person emotionally than she was when this show started. She isn't learning in that respect; she's shrinking & becoming more stingy w/her affection. Regina & Snow are the ones who are learning & growing; actually changing. As for her relationship w/Henry, does she know she's the parent of a teenager? He is old enough to have a say in where he lives at his age. No, he isn't going to go where his mommy says. Why should he? She wants to deny the truth about him & who he is. Nice example for your kid, Emma - choosing fear & lies over being brave & truthful.
Just an observation...am I the only who thinks that if Ward had killed the dog, many viewers would consider him absolutely evil? It's strange how killing a pet is unforgivable to many people while killing X number of SHIELD agents is forgivable as long as Ward makes googly eyes at Skye.
FANTASTIC episode! I loved how they were basically going low-tech this episode, with whiteboards, black markers, & Howling Commando tech. Maybe it's just me. But, I followed the whiteboard explanation much better than I have any of the explanatory dialogue & fancy transparent computer diagrams in the past few episodes. One look at that thing with all its arrows, & yep, I understood. Thank you for showing that Mike Peterson still has some humanity left. He hasn't been given a choice. But, I think he's biding his time & will chose to strike back when he can do the most damage to HYDRA. He looks just miserable being their puppet. As for FitzSimmons, Fitz still had the quarter. So, Coulson could still locate them. I don't know how they'd have any time to pick them up though. Ward can only be redeemed IMO if he comes to realize that it's his attachment to *Garrett* that is his weakness. He survived in that wilderness by his wits & his affection for another living creature. That dog gave him strength; not Garrett. Hopefully his affection for his former SHIELD team will make him see the light, too.
You spend your time visiting reviews, & commenting, on a show you don't watch? Pathetic...
I think the reason the pendant is still in play is because whoever ends up with it is going to sit in that last chair in Oz as one of the good witches. That person will need the pendant to channel all their power. If its destroyed, could be fatal to Oz. Glinda is still in the Enchanted Forest. So, I'm thinking she'll have a role next season in getting the pendant to the correct person. Elsa from FROZEN perhaps?
"SHIELD Manual Chapter 1 - Red Skull, creator of HYDRA, was a fanfreaking NAZI!" - Skye IMO, every SHIELD agent knew that. So, no matter how much Ward owed Garrett (even his life), that should have been a HUGE red flag that said "Bad Guy" when he was recruited into HYDRA. Bad Ward!
That was a flashback to the missing year to explain how Hook received the potion giving Emma her memory back.

Programs for the Burroughs model 205 computer. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-07142006-084404
NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document.
The crystal structure of cyclohex-l-enylcyclobutenedione has been determined by x-ray diffraction techniques. Complete three-dimensional intensity data were collected about each of two axes using [...] radiation. A trial structure was evolved which proved to be correct. This structure was refined both in projection and in three dimensions by conventional Fourier and least-squares methods. During the last several cycles of refinement six thermal parameters and three positional parameters for each of the twelve heavy atoms were optimized. An unusually long carbon-carbon bond distance [...] has been found; this result is not inconsistent with purely chemical properties of the compound.
The crystal structure of 3,6-dimethylpiperazine-2,5-dione has been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction methods. Three-dimensional intensity data have been collected and a trial structure has been evolved. This trial structure seems to be the only structure which affords a suitable hydrogen-bonding scheme and molecular packing. Moreover, it is in agreement with the very distinctive crystalline habit and cleavage of the compound. Apparently because of difficulties in scaling the data, however, the very large number of refinements which were attempted all failed to converge. Consequently, work on this compound has been stopped temporarily until sufficient additional information has been collected to allow all of the intensity data to be put onto a common scale.
A number of programs of general crystallographic interest have been coded for the Burroughs electronic digital computer, model 205. A brief description of these programs is given.

Cooking Up a Conservation Victory in Canada's Sacred Headwaters
By Shannon McPhail
It's not often that a small, rural region of communities declares victory against one of the largest corporations on the planet, so when it happens - WE NEED TO CELEBRATE!
Editor's note: I remember hearing Shannon speak back in 2010 when she, Ali Howard and a group of kayaking filmmakers visited Patagonia HQ to screen Awakening the Skeena. Shannon was passionate, funny and full of fight. We've published a number of posts on this issue – from protests to photos to film – so it's with great joy that we share this wonderful news today.
The problem? Royal Dutch Shell wanted to drill 1,500-10,000 coal bed methane gas wells in the Sacred Headwaters, where three of Canada's greatest wild salmon and steelhead rivers, the Skeena, Stikine and Nass are born.
These rivers are among the last surviving intact, kick-ass, grizzly bear chasing 30-pound salmon over waterfalls kind of rivers. Native and white families harvesting enough food for the winter kind of rivers. Dip your head in and drink the water without tablets or filters because it's so clean kind of rivers. Not a single dam anywhere kind of rivers.

[Photo: Brian Huntington]
On December 18, 2012, after local communities and normal everyday joe-blow residents stood united for nearly a decade in defense of the birthplace of these great rivers, the BC government, Royal Dutch Shell and the Tahltan Central Council announced there will be no coalbed methane drilling in the Sacred Headwaters… EVER!
Not only was coal bed methane outlawed, all petroleum or natural gas activities have been permanently banned in an area of over one million acres of pristine wilderness.
Just how did a grassroots collection of communities in northern BC do it? Well, the first thing you need to know is that the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition was just one of many players in the final victory. A big shout out to the TAHLTAN LEADERSHIP who fought for this decision and THE ELDERS who stood on the road and blocked the trucks from getting into the headwaters. They started all of this and we honour them as the warriors and guardians of our Sacred Headwaters.
[Elders = Warriors.]
[Shell blockade.]
[The family that started it all.]
[Jenny Quock and Shannon McPhail.]
A giant thanks to the DOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIES and other CONSERVATION GROUPS who stood in solidarity. All the mayors and councils, band councils and regional districts who might have believed this was never possible but still stood and were counted among those who challenged the logic of this proposed development. Patagonia Co. certainly had a role and helped this campaign immensely along the way and even printed our recipe for "effective grassroots organizing in northwest British Columbia" back in 2008. As wild and crazy as it our recipe seemed, it's still how we operate.
Start with three of Canada's most celebrated wild salmon and steelhead rivers – the Skeena, Nass and Stikine. Add free-ranging populations of woodland caribou, grizzly bear, wolves, moose, mountain goat and stone sheep. Propose a coalbed methane gas field directly on top of the pristine valleys where these rivers begin. Put in the oven and set to slow roast for five years.
In a watershed-sized bowl add:
• Generous helping of red-neck bravado (rodeo stock works best)
• 1 cup of well-aged, proud and freshly stirred First Nations culture
• Dash of hippie passion
• 1/2 cup of educated, inspired and engaged youth
• Splash of guide-outfitter sensibilities
• 2 lumps of a logger's work ethic
• Infuse with outrageous wilderness expeditions
• Add a layer of live music, campfire smoke, storytelling and photography
• Top with sprinkling of authentic ceremony and prayer.
For best results: Mix ingredients repeatedly until a uniform liquid begins to coalesce. Generously share the results with residents at every level of regional society. Serve with wild Skeena salmon, garden veggies and homebrew.
And last, but definitely not least, we are grateful to the BC Government and to Shell. While we will always hold government and industry accountable, we also believe in giving credit when credit is due. These guys made a good decision and they deserve recognition for it!
Now, while Shell is out – we've still got a few loose ends to tie up – Fortune Minerals Ltd wants to build a coal mine right smack dab in the middle of the Sacred Headwaters. CN Rail wants to build a railway up the pristine upper Skeena River right into the Sacred Headwaters. Spectra Pipelines is proposing BC's biggest pipeline through a myriad of our greatest wild salmon rivers and tributaries including the Babine River, home to many of the Skeena's wild sockeye salmon. Our work is still cut our for us but we know you've got to celebrate the victories along the way and if there's one thing we know how to do extremely well it's throw a party.
We party the same way we campaign – TOGETHER! On February 2nd, to commerate Shell's withdrawal from the Sacred Headwaters, we celebrated northern style and I can't even begin to tell you how epic it was. A day-long ceremony was held in the giant Kitsumkalum Feast Hall located at the confluence of the Kalum and Skeena rivers in Terrace, BC. First Nations from all three watersheds brought their traditional dance groups, drums, regalia and water from each of their tributaries to be mixed in a cedar bent box as a pledge of solidarity. For the first time in history, non-First Nations (yes... that means white folks) were invited to mix their water as well. This mixing of the waters truly symbolized the unity of northwestern British Columbia. A few favourite quotes included, "When you mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us!" or "When we play cowboys and indians, we play on the same side!"
[Getting pumped!]
[Giving thanks.]
[Mixing the waters.]
[The future.]
[Member of Parliament Fin Donnelly, Awakening the Skeena swimmer Ali Howard, Opposition House Leader Nathan Cullen.]
The crowning moment happened right before the feast of wild Skeena salmon and local beef when Canada's House Leader of the Official Opposition and the Skeena's Member of Parliament, Nathan Cullen, stood up and said the Sacred Headwaters victory is a model for Canada and took some of the mixed water back to the House of Commons to tell the Prime Minister there is a better way to govern and it's exemplified here. "The fight to defend our rivers is a model for the entire country on how to find common ground," he told the roaring crowd. "We'll never give up our headwaters."
Northwest BC is blessed with musicians who are connected to the landscape and use their music to express the love they feel. The music they play comes from and is dedicated to the land and water we depend on. The night ended with a crazy live music dance party featuring an all-star line up of our best musicians that went into the wee hours of the morning, set off the fire alarm, burst a water main and flooded the venue… but no one stopped dancing.
Shannon McPhail lives in Hazelton, BC right smack dab in the middle of the Skeena Watershed with her husband and two children – her family has five generations in the region. She has made her living as a hunting guide, welder and backcountry recreation guide. She and her family, friends and neighbours started the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition 10 years ago, a non-profit that has twice been recognized as one Canada's Top 10 leading and most innovative organizations.
It takes a village... Here's a list of the groups that gathered to fight Shell:

How many of yall have Blackberrys? I have one and I was thinking how nice it would be to have a Blackberry download for the forum like my facebook account so we could make comments and look at others.
I guess a mini version of the original. I don't know for sure. I take it you have not had anyone else ask about this then? Maybe if enough people are interested and it is a possibility to do it maybe we should all brainstorm on an idea to develop it. Like what it should look like, what everyone would like to be able to do on it and so on. It was just an idea that came to me this morning when I was checking my facebook account and I thought I would throw it out there.
I have owned every windows phone on the market up until last year when I bought my first Blackberry. I would never own anything but a Blackberry now. I have the Bold right now and it has full HTML browser on it.
I bet there is more but just not responding. The bold and the storm have full HTML browsers so they do not need the mobile app.
I got a Blackberry curve, and gotta say after having it for awhile just cant see myself going back to a "normal" phone.
Yeah I cant see myself going back to a regular phone either. I have the Storm and I love it. It does have the full browser but with an application it wouldnt take so long to download. And for some reason it takes me a few trys to get logged in.
I have both the Storm and I-Phone and honestly that blackberry is trash, I took it to the flea market a few weeks ago and sold it for $100! I am on this site all the time on the I-Phone and I never have a problem loading it, maybe takes 15 seconds for the whole thing to come up. If I switch it over to 3G network, it loads before a flash in your eyes so I am fine with what I have. But a App for this site would be cool, I think I already have about 300 apps on my phone. :happy:

01/06/03 A Kid With Big Plans Comes To Radio
�Hello, Mr. Rhoads. I�m in the area, visiting my parents; and while I�m here, I�d like to tell you about a new company that I�m starting. Can you spare a few minutes to see me?� Something in my gut said to see this guy. Unlike so many salespeople who would call for appointments, this one sounded sincere and was filled with an enthusiasm that I wasn�t used to hearing. We met a few days later.
�Branding is what Radio is all about, yet so few people in Radio know anything about it,� said the kid fresh from Harvard Business School. � I plan to bring a level of sophistication to the Radio industry unlike any it has ever seen before. I have big, big plans.�
I sat back and listened carefully, though with a touch of skepticism. So many people before had promised to �set Radio on fire,� but none had lived up to the promise. The young man was full of enthusiasm, but he was also a bit brash and cocky. After all, what Harvard grad doesn�t think he�s going to set the world on fire? Aren�t they all a bit full of themselves and over-confident?
When he left the conference room, I turned to Dick Downes, my top executive at the time: �Dick, something tells me this kid is different. I think he may be one of the smartest people I�ve ever met.� The young man�s confidence and enthusiasm made me believe that he knew what he was talking about � marketing concepts I�d never heard before.
We did what we could to help this guy start his new company, Stratford Research. We gave him a few ideas, but he had it mostly figured out already. I don�t really think the kid needed us. But I was pretty sure that we needed him. The kid was Lew Dickey, who helped us position
Radio Ink
as �Radio�s Premiere Management and Marketing Magazine� � he created the slogan with our input, and he made us promise to never, ever drop it. Of course we still use it, and his marketing advice helped us live up to the slogan.
Today, 10 short years later, Lew Dickey runs the second largest Radio broadcasting company in the world (based on station count). A little over a year ago, many people thought it was over for Lew after Wall Street analysts began slamming the company and its practices. Lew responded by making substantial changes in personnel, and today, those same analysts are singing the praises of Brother Dickey and his amazing ability to turn a company around in record time.
This is the time of year when we honor the broadcaster who has made the biggest impact on Radio in the past 12 months. This year, there is no question. The vote was unanimous. Lew Dickey is the
Radio Ink
Executive of the Year. My gut tells me that Lew Dickey won�t bail out of Radio just to put a few hundred million dollars in his pocket. This is one of the smartest men that Radio has ever seen � far too smart to quit while he�s gaining momentum.
Keep your eye on the Kid from Harvard. Something tells me that he hasn�t even begun to show us what he�s got.

All Your Stashes Belong 2 Us Plus Free Goodies
The evolution of youTube beauty has brought about quite a few videos that feature stashes and hauls galore. What is this odd fascination we have with looking at other people's stashes (does that sound perverted?)…..I know I can literally sit for hours, with my mouth hanging open, and my eyes unblinking as I watch a stranger on youTube that gives me the grand tour of her beauty collection.
Hours of entertainment right there people.
So….I want you to send me your stash pictures (or videos) and I'll feature them here on Musings of a Muse so we can sit down with a bucket of popcorn and look through them.
Small, big, huge, crazy scary….send it on over!
Can't wait to see!
Mail them to musingsofamuse at gmail dot com
I'll be stalking my inbox for them.
Of course, it wouldn't be fun without swag! Anyone who takes time out to send photos will get a token (aka swaggalicious beauty goodies) of my appreciation via mail if I feature it on Musings.

Looking at other people's hauls and stashes is like makeup porn…I know I shouldn't, it only leads to bad things (purchases), but I just can't help myself, it's soooooooooo goooooood!!!!!
5/19/11 16:48 the Muse:

5/21/11 15:16 Tammie:
Does it have to be one picture or can it be several? I keep my makeup in a Helmer and I don't want to take everything out to take a pic xD;;. I actually did a blog post about my stash already but have since added things (of course) so I'd have to take new pics.
5/26/11 14:13 Risu:

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Jim Sweeney, who coached Fresno State's football team for 19 seasons and retired with a school-record 144 victories, has died. He was 83.
The school announced Sweeney's death on Friday night. It provided no further details.
"Most of what our football program has accomplished in recent years was clearly made possible by the path that Coach Sweeney blazed for Fresno State football throughout his two decades of leadership," athletic director Thomas Boeh said in a statement. "He was a man of vision, toughness and character who led the Bulldogs to new heights and went on to become a national icon."
Sweeney also coached Montana State and Washington State before he was hired by Fresno State in 1976. He retired following the 1996 season, and the field at Bulldog Stadium was renamed in his honor.
Sweeney finished with 200 wins in 32 seasons as a head coach.
"Coach Sweeney is an icon in college football who put Fresno State football on the national map," current Bulldogs coach Tim DeRutyer said. "His larger than life personality and tenacity in which he coached the game are legendary."
During Sweeney's time with the Bulldogs, they had 35 players selected in the NFL draft. Trent Dilfer and Henry Ellard were among his most prominent players.
Sweeney, a native of Butte, Mont., also spent time as an assistant coach with the NFL's Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Cardinals.

There are still a few left. Some big boys rising more than 100ft out actively all morning. Got this 22" hatchery hen on UV chartreuse over white clouser. Only a couple other tugs and no SRC's seen.
Nice work! I hit the beach this morning as well, but got nothing. Folks are right about the big ones out off the beach--I saw some monsters jumping around pretty far out this morning. Wow. J
I don't know. They were so far out that I wouldn't have been able to tell what they were. Frickin' huge though. At one point I watched two or three of them go into a sort of jumping frenzy, 9 or 10 jumps in a few seconds all crazy back and forth. They did seem a little dark, but it may have just been the overcast sky and distance. J
Solid work again Jason! Looks like all your efforts have really paid off for you this season. Great job!
Not so fast Nick! That's DaveyPetey's fish up there--not mine. I wish I had another nice one to show around though! I barely got to fish this week between work and other crap getting in the way.
Hah Wow, guess I was more flustered from my stupid meeting than I thought. My bad! My apologies Davey, didn't mean to steal your thunder. Nice work!
Nice fish Daveypetey. I can confirm from yesterday morning that the jumpers were beastly coho. Hope to bonk one tomorrow AM.
Starting on Friday morning it's going to get tough to cast with the storm systems moving in. These low pressure systems are going to bring the big wild coho into Puget Sound like a conveyer belt. If you can find a sheltered area to fish on the beach you will score some nice salmon. South/South-East winds 10-25 knots are not easy though, nor is 2-4 foot surf. The big rains Saturday-Monday will herald the end of a great beach season and we will all be talking about how great 2012 was for catching silvers. Just one more beach silver please (a big hook nose buck)!
Thanks all. Looks like rain might show up late. How to bump into some of y'all out there tomorrow pre soak!
I think where we'll be fishing Saturday may be equivalent to MMA coho fishing. The weather may kick the shit out of us but the rewards could be huge.
Let's do it! Time to finish strong! What's everyone's favorite fly they'll be tying on for the final showdown?
Hmmmm...., which fly to use? Make mine a standard chartreuse over white buck tail Clouser with some flash and stripped fast against a stiff current. I'll also be tying on a good rain jacket.
First post. First year fishing salmon with a fly rod and after getting a few here in MA-10, i need to the feel the tug just once more (kinda sound like an addict). Coming from seattle, is it worth the drive to MA8-2 or are my chances just as good in MA-9?
I never fish MA 8-2 so I can't help you there. 9 or 10 should both offer you a chance at fish this weekend. As a right hander, I'll be on a west facing MA 9 beach to take advantage of the SE wind. It will be a nice change of pace from the NW in your face wind we dealt with all summer long. fly...something chartreuse to start out with. If that doesn't work, I'll go to something pink or solid white.
Thread topic confirmed. UV chartruese over a mix of white and red. Saw em jump down beach just a little deeper than the depth i was standing. Switched the cast to that direction and 2 casts later a tug and silver flash. Sea lion off shore gave me some lip as i was bleeding the fish. In MA8-2 just north of MA-9. Do i stop on a high note? Probably not. Wife willing, i'll be slipping out the house early again tomorrow.
Had a big buck on this morning in 9 again all the way to beach but he got off as we were pulling him up. So bummed. How long do you think we can push it. Tuesday?
Great thing about this time of year is that with each passing week it is more likely that you will get grabbed by a steelhead while salmon fishing.
So another question if you guys don't mid. Should we just pack it in when we stop getting tugs on days like this? As the tide gets later over the next week what would be a good strategy? On at sun up and off by 9 or 10? Or on a cloudy windy day is the light not so important as hitting the low tide? So same flys? Chartreuse over white as well? This is the best news I have heard all week. Being here only a year means I gotta get as many salt water species in as possible. Which as of this morning I can add flounder (I think) to the list.
