Snohomish man's WWII service included 9 months as POW
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Harold Wanamaker, of Snohomish, served in World War II and was captured and held as a prisoner of war.
The Wanamakers still have the Western Union postcard that Belva Jean received notifying her that Harold was a POW.

Belva Jean and Harold Wanamaker, of Snohomish, have lived in their home for more than 40 years.

Harold Wanamaker�s identification card during the years the spent as a POW
He saw a military recruiting poster — "one of those signs with the guy pointing his finger at me," he said.
Wanamaker, then 18, asked the recruiter if he could fly planes.
"The next day, I was in Fort Slocum, New York, as a private in the Army Air Corps headed to Panama," he said.
He got to Panama a month later. His first job was working on radios in P-26s, open-cockpit fighter planes.
Then the war started.
Wanamaker entered flying school in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He later was assigned to a base in Enid, Oklahoma. There, he met his bride, Belva Jean, at a U.S.O. music event.
"There was Belva standing by the post waiting for me," he said.
"Waiting to dance, that's what I was doing," she said.
Big band music star Glenn Miller recently had disappeared while on a flight over the English Channel, but other members of his band were playing the No. 1 dance band of the time, Belva Jean Wanamaker said.
They had a wonderful dance. They've now been married 71 years.
Wanamaker was transferred again, to Kansas. He designed equipment to hold clothes in the barracks. He built shelves for the library.
He was promoted to technical sergeant and sent to officer candidate school, then bombardier school, then to Salt Lake City, then Italy, on a crew.
He started flying missions as a bombardier in May 1944, in B-24s.
"Some of them were rough, where a lot of people got shot down, stuff like that," he said. "We were fortunate until the 10th mission."
On that mission, the target was a German airplane-engine plant near Munich.
"We hit that target, and they hit us, too, put a lot of holes in the airplane," he said.
The crews didn't think they could make it back to base.
The pilot got the plane across the Alps and over the Adriatic Sea. Then he lost control.
The men were ordered to bail out. The plane whipped up, and Wanamaker was thrown free.
Wanamaker hit the water and tried to find the others. Their flight suits filled with water, making it hard to swim. Six people died. Four survived.
The survivors had trouble inflating their life jackets because of the way they'd looped the lanyards out of the way, on the plane.
Wanamaker went under. He finally got one side of his jacket inflated, and surfaced.
"I don't think I've ever had a breath of air that was as good as that one," he said.
A two-man dinghy popped up out of the wreckage. Two of the survivors climbed in. Wanamaker and the fourth man lied on the side tubes.
The survivors were afloat for three hours with no paddles, no supplies.
They figured they'd have to hand-paddle to Yugoslavia.
Finally, a PBY flying boat showed up, escorted by P-38s. Rescuers collected the survivors, despite six-foot swells.
Wanamaker got a week of vacation on the island of Capri. Then he went back to flying.
Four missions later, his crew was shot down again.
They'd been bombing bridges in the area of Avignon, France.
Wanamaker and the pilot and some of the others bailed out. The co-pilot refused to jump. The plane crashed in a vineyard near Montpellier. Within three days, the Germans disassembled the wreckage.
Wanamaker was taken prisoner. He was interrogated.
His right foot had been broken when he bailed out. The Germans made him walk on it before setting the bone nine days later. A bullet also had nicked his left ring finger as he had floated down under a parachute.
Some of the guards were decent to him. One helped him hatch an escape plot, stashing guns, a German uniform and a motorcycle, but Wanamaker was transferred before he could try.
"When you talked to these different people, even the Germans, they didn't want the war," he said.
Wanamaker was taken to an interrogation center and various hospitals before the Stalag Luft III prison camp, south of Berlin.
Wanamaker wasn't allowed to wash his hands for more than a week. The bullet wound became infected and he got blood poisoning. A red streak ran up his left arm.
A British doctor told him to take off the bandage.
"That finger was actually rotted, black, shredded. You could see the bone," he said.
The doctor gave him a shot of sodium pentothal, an anesthetic drug sometimes called "truth serum."
The doctor fixed up his finger while he was out.
Wanamaker woke up hours later, feeling hungry but without the pain in his arm. He was thankful.
When the Russians drew close, the Germans forced Wanamaker and others to march. It was the middle of the night, and cold, a long row of prisoners.
Nine of the prisoners were put in a horse-drawn wagon because their injuries made it hard to walk. Their guard, an older man, wasn't allowed to ride along with them, and they lost him as he lagged behind.
Wanamaker's broken foot swelled too much to fit in his shoe. One night in a barn, he fashioned a boot out of straw.
Eventually, the prisoners were put into train cars and taken to Moosburg, north of Munich.
"We were all sick, just absolutely sick, didn't care if we lived or died," he said. "It was absolutely miserable, but we finally got to take showers. We hadn't had showers in quite a while."
In the prison camp, there was little wood to make fires. The prisoners heated water in cans over stick fires.
One prisoner had been a disc jockey. On Saturdays, the man played records for the others.
During Christmastime, the prisoners sang Handel's "Messiah". They invited the German officers to watch.
"I wouldn't have believed it, but there were tears in some of those guys' eyes," Wanamaker said. "I still enjoy the 'Messiah.'"
On April 29, 1945, an American tank broke down the gate to the camp.
The prisoners were liberated by the 14th Armored Division, attached to Gen. George S. Patton's troops.
Wanamaker remembers a young soldier on the tank playing a song on the radio: "Don't Fence Me In."
"You should have heard the cheer that went up when they heard that," he said.
After they were liberated, they scrounged for food, bumming rations, sometimes using explosives to stun fish out of the river.
Wanamaker got home in June. He'd been a prisoner of war for nine months.
His wife, Belva Jean, had stayed with her folks in Oklahoma, working as a secretary for an oil company.
Wanamaker took two and a half years of college classes in engineering in Colorado but suffered from headaches and health problems and had to drop out. He worked as a mailman and as a meatcutter, among other jobs.
With one son born, the Wanamakers moved back to Oklahoma, looking for work.
Then his wife suggested he try Boeing in Wichita, Kansas. He went in on a Saturday. Belva and their son waited in the car.
Wanamaker took a job on second shift. It paid $1.37 an hour. He worked for Boeing more than three decades, retiring in 1983.
The Wanamakers raised three kids. He transferred to the Seattle area in 1968. Belva came a year later, because their kids were finishing up high school and college.
In 1970, they had their home built in Snohomish, overlooking Blackmans Lake. The house is warm and tidy, the lake view framed by turquoise curtains.
Wanamaker also spent time in the reserves and the Air National Guard, retiring from the military as a major.
This past Memorial Day, Wanamaker, 93, was asked to throw the first pitch at the Mariners game in Seattle. He and more than two dozen other veterans were invited to the game. They recently had taken an honor flight to see the war memorials in Washington, D.C.
That "first pitch" was more of a "first roll-in," he said, but at least it rolled over the plate.

Recent Point Prim Reviews
Heaven in Heron Cove
This is an incredible house - the owner, Linda, is an artist, and it shows everywhere you look. Every room is a delight (even the bathrooms), there is interesting artwork on the walls, furniture is delightfully and carefully arranged. But the greatest impression of the house is of space, light and air. All windows have terrific views, all the rooms are generously sized - I could move in permanently, and sometimes it was hard to make ourselves leave the house to sightsee! We were two couples, and it was great to have so much space, though we did tend to congregate in the screened in porch every evening. The place is so well equipped, from a food processor to wine glasses for each kind of wine. It's immaculate - it felt as if we were the first people to stay there. Linda was very helpful and friendly. The beach is great for beach combing (if you cut through the abandoned Boy Scout camp you come to a little sand beach, and can walk a long way at low tide), the lawn is good for games and frisbee. It is very quiet and peaceful. We went to the Chowder House - it's terrific. But the food highlight was the little ice cream stand on the right as you drive down Point Prim Road - don't miss it. Cooper's Red and White was great, very obliging - they will order seafood and baked goods for you, and have a liquor outlet (it carried prosecco, so I was happy). I recommend Kro in the Sky jewellery and Belfast Mini Mills, but make sure to get some of Linda's lovely handmade paper cards. I recommend Heron Cove to anyone wanting to stay in a lovely house which combines all the comforts of home with a beach house ambience in a beautiful, peaceful part of the world

Vanishing Acts
Vanishing Acts (Paperback)
First Day of 7th GradeTo Do:
- Find locker
- Soccer tryouts, 3 p.m.
- Solve murder case
It's the middle of the night. Junior high starts tomorrow. Madison Kincaid jolts awake to the sound of a phone call from the jailhouse. It's a new case for her father, a renowned defense attorney: Someone's been accused of murdering Madison's second-grade teacher. But no body has turned up. Bent on becoming a lawyer just like her dad, Madison's determined to help him crack the case.
At school the next day, Madison finds she's got not one but two mysteries on her plate. Her best friend, Ann, is nowhere to be found. With the help of Jake Stephenson, a fellow soccer player at Pettygrove Junior High, Madison hits the sidewalks of Portland, Oregon, ready to find out just what's hiding behind these two vanishing acts.
About the Author
Phillip Margolin has written sixteen New York Times bestsellers, including his latest novels, Supreme Justice and Fugitive. Each displays a unique, compelling insider's view of criminal behavior, which comes from his long background as a criminal defense attorney who has handled thirty murder cases. Winner of the Distinguished Northwest Writer Award, Margolin lives in Portland, Oregon.
Praise for Vanishing Acts…
"Best-selling adult author Margolin teams up with his daughter in this youth debut that pulls a few Nancy Drew parallels into a wholly contemporary story. A budding romance and vivid court scenes give readers more reasons to hope for future installments of Madison's adventures."

Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index Nonfinancial Leveral Subindex
"The Chicago Fed's National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) provides a comprehensive weekly update on U.S. financial conditions in money markets, debt and equity markets, and the traditional and "shadow" banking systems." Source: http://www.chicagofed.org/webpages/publications/nfci/index.cfm.
"Positive values of the NFCI indicate financial conditions that are tighter than average, while negative values indicate financial conditions that are looser than average."
"The three subindexes of the NFCI (risk, credit and leverage) allow for a more detailed examination of the movements in the NFCI. Like the NFCI, each is constructed to have an average value of zero and a standard deviation of one over a sample period extending back to 1973. The risk subindex captures volatility and funding risk in the financial sector; the credit subindex is composed of measures of credit conditions; and the leverage subindex consists of debt and equity measures. Increasing risk, tighter credit conditions and declining leverage are consistent with tightening financial conditions. Thus, a positive value for an individual subindex indicates that the corresponding aspect of financial conditions is tighter than on average, while negative values indicate the opposite.
The nonfinancial leverage subindex of the NFCI best exemplifies how leverage can serve as an early warning signal for financial stress and its potential impact on economic growth. The positive weight assigned to both the household and nonfinancial business leverage measures in this NFCI subindex make it characteristic of the feedback process between the financial and nonfinancial sectors of the economy often referred to as the "financial accelerator." Increasingly tighter financial conditions are associated with rising risk premiums and declining asset values. The net worth of households and nonfinancial firms is, thus, reduced at the same time that credit tightens. This leads to a period of deleveraging (i.e., debt reduction) across the financial and nonfinancial sectors of the economy and ultimately to lower economic activity." Source: http://www.chicagofed.org/webpages/research/data/nfci/background.cfm.

Comments about Easton EA70 XCT MTN UST 26" Wheel '12:
Bought in the spring, 2012. Great wheel for the price. I ain't rich so it's usually slow builds and upgrades as time goes by. I had bought a different full wheelset, but the front hub wasn't compatible with my fork, so I went with the EA70 XCT.
This Easton wheel has been strong, lightweight and fast for what I ride, mostly singletrack here in Montana. The slick flat black/gunmetal lettering is nice, wrapped in Continental RaceKings and Hope skewers which I also gripped from Jenson, I'm happy with the direction this build is heading!

If you haven't seen Monty's interview/press conference after he got his extension please do so.
I'm a huge Monty fan and I hope he is here for a really long time.
I found it very strange that during this clip he mention and thanked Mickey and the Bensons, but no mention of Dell. Could this be a sign that Dell is out of the picture and the Mickey is totally in charge of basketball ops.
I'm not trying to make an issue here, but I think it is worth discussion.
I really don't want to believe that someone could be as good at his job as Dell and not get rewarded for it. In Demps we trust, Benson.
I hate Mickey, stick to football man, let Demps do his thing
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
If negotiations are ongoing with Demps they might have told Monty not to mention Dell. Public pressure = leverage for Demps. What we haven't heard is somewhat concerning, but what we have heard is positive enough that I'm only slightly worried.
If Benson knows what's best, he needs to lock Demps up now. I just dont think Loomis knows that much about the basketball side of things.
These are the words of Mickey Loomis when the extension was first announced.Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis, who also oversees the Hornets basketball operations, said getting Williams contract situation finalized was a high priority.
He knows and we know that hes here for the long term as we develop a young team into a championship contender, Loomis said. Ive been very impressed with Monty since we purchased the team.
Ive also been impressed with Dell and the job hes done and the staff in the basketball operations.
Well, Demps is in a bit of an awkward situation. Isn't it usually the GM who hires, fires, and gives extensions to coaches? Williams was hired by Bower and now extended by Mickey Loomis apparently. Even if he is extended at this point he's basically relegated to being Head of Player Personnel in terms of actual power. Perhaps he has an issue with that? Just speculation.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Mickey might be the head of Basketball Operations but Demps is still the one responsible for putting the roster together. That's the General Manager's primary responsibility to the team is it not?
IMHO, Loomis' involvement with the Hornets probably has everything to do with ensuring he receives compensation during his NFL suspension and has no reflection on Dell whatsoever. Tom Benson knows when he has capable, talented people and he usually lets them do their job. Dell will be no exception.
Here's how this may play out: a couple of weeks after Loomis' suspension ends, Dell gets an extension and is placed 100% in charge of basketball ops. Loomis is reassigned strictly to running the Saints "in order for him to focus on guiding the Saints to the Super Bowl" (which we will win, btw).

The Canine Cargo Liner we ordered for our Nissan Armada was just as advertised! It fit perfectly, the quality is good and it's a really nice accessory for us and our three 70 lb dogs! For the price paid I thought there could have been a bit more fill for more comfortable dogs, but it still works very well and we're glad we have it.

How Washington Rep. Dave Reichert got involved in the scandal that ended the CIA director's career became a little clearer Wednesday after the New York Times published a story identifying the FBI agent who played a key role in the case.
The agent was identified as Frederick W. Humphries II. His connection to the Pacific Northwest -- and hence to Reichert -- dates back to the 1999 Millennium bombing plot. Colleagues and news reports described the role of Mr. Humphries, in just his third year at the F.B.I., in building the case against Ahmed Ressam, who was detained as he tried to enter the United States from Canada in 1999 with a plan to set off a bomb at Los Angeles International Airport, the Times reported.
According to multiple news reports published over the past 5 days, Reichert referred Humphries to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Humphries was reportedly concerned that his report of harassing emails sent by the mistress of CIA Director David Petraeus to a mutual friend were being ignored.
Convinced that the case was being stalled for political reasons, Mr. Humphries in late October contacted Representative Dave Reichert, a Republican from Washington State, where the F.B.I. agent had worked previously, to inform him of the case. Mr. Reichert put him in touch with the House majority leader, Eric Cantor, who passed the message to the F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, the Times reported.
Reichert represent's the 8th District, which is encompasses a large part of suburban King County east of Lake Washington. Before being elected to Congress, he served as King County's sheriff.
The Associated Press reported new details about the early chronology of the case that led to Petraeus's resignation.
The first anonymous email, which the FBI ultimately traced to Paula Broadwell, was sent in May to Marine Gen. John Allen. It warned Allen about his upcoming meeting with Tampa socialite Jill Kelley and suggested she would harm his reputation, a person close to Kelley told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the FBI investigation was continuing.

Why would it "probably" be as patent encumbered as h.264?
Dark Shikari, a developer of x264, made an extensive analysis of WebM / VP8. Here is his summary regarding patents and VP8 (for details read the blog):
Finally, the problem of patents appears to be rearing its ugly head again. VP8 is simply way too similar to H.264: a pithy, if slightly inaccurate, description of VP8 would be "H.264 Baseline Profile with a better entropy coder". Even VC-1 differed more from H.264 than VP8 does, and even VC-1 didn't manage to escape the clutches of software patents. It's quite possible that VP8 has no patent issues, but until we get some hard evidence that VP8 is safe, I would be cautious. Since Google is not indemnifying users of VP8 from patent lawsuits, this is even more of a potential problem. Most importantly, Google has not released any justifications for why the various parts of VP8 do not violate patents, as Sun did with their OMS standard: such information would certainly cut down on speculation and make it more clear what their position actually is.

I started during wrath after some of my friends that had played since vanilla needed some boost to their rooster and i rolled a mage. Ran ICC once and then i really was in the team the first tier of Cata. As a mage i was put on spellsteal duty on maloriak and i remember being so anxious about missing it that i stopped dpsing for like 5 second before he applied it just to be prepared. So i was soo low on the dps the first time.
WoTLK Naxxramas. That's the main reason it's still my favorite raid of all time.
Zul'Gurub, I did AQ40 the same night aswell. Gotta say, I did enjoy that raid.

Lord Nagafen was my first raid if you don't count text-based games.
If you are asking WoW specific, it was MC. I don't believe anything previous to MC was considered a raid? I could be wrong.

The great new way to brush plate small parts
Read An Article From Mac Life Magazine On Plating An iPod Using Our Plug N' Plate® Kits (372 KB PDF)
Read the Instruction Manual Here
4 Simple Steps To Brush Plate Your Small Parts
|1. Plug In The Adapter
|2. Clip the Black Lead To The Part
|3. Soak The Wand With Bandage In the Solution
|4. Brush The Wand Over The Cleaned Part
Plug N' Plate® is a new concept in plating small parts. Our unique mains power pack supplies just the right amount of power allowing you to brush, and in some situations, dip plate your smaller components.
The Plug N' Plate® system will also allow you to patch repair areas where the original plating has worn away.
Plug N' Plate® is ideal for vintage vehicle restorers, antique collectors and dealers, and small workshops doing prototype work.
What could be simpler? The Plug N' Plate® wand is attached to the red plug on the Power Pack, and the alligator clip is attached to the work-piece. The end of the wand is covered in an absorbent bandage, which is soaked in the plating solution for a few seconds.
By simply stroking the part with swift brush strokes, the circuit is closed and the plating metal bearing solution goes to work, depositing its beautiful layer onto the object.
Plug N' Plate® is perfect for gold plating car emblems. Simply strip the chrome off with Chrome Stripper, then apply the gold. Full instructions are included.
Plug N' Plate® may be applied onto most metals. To see which kit plates onto which metal, read our instruction booklet. To plate onto Stainless Steel, use the Plug N' Plate® Copper system. When gold plating onto stainless, apply our Stainless Steel Activator For Gold with a stainless wand and 4.5V power pack, then you may gold plate directly onto the stainless part.
We do not recommend plating aluminum directly with our Plug N' Plate® kits. Use our Flash Copper Kit with zincate primer first, then you may Plug N' Plate® onto the copper. To plate plastic, or other non-conductive parts, spray with Conductive Paint, dip in Tinning Solution, then tank plate with acid copper, then use a Plug N' Plate® kit.

Plug N Plate Black Krome Kit Contains:
- 1 x Plug N' Plate® 4.5V Power Supply
- 1 x 8oz Black Krome Solution
- 1 x SS Brush Plating Wand
- 1 x Wand Bandage
- 1 x Instruction Booklet
- Free Technical Support

Parker leads IRS Chief Counsel's legal processing staff to success
Wednesday - 2/27/2013, 2:20am EST
In the summer of 2006, the basement of the Internal Revenue Service building on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., was flooded under 18 feet of water.
"Being an old building, all of the mechanicals are in the basement, so the building was completely shut down," said Michael Parker, director of the Legal Processing Division of the Chief Counsel of the IRS.
The closure presented a big problem for Parker and his staff, whose primary mission is to prepare Tax Court documents for IRS attorneys.

"The Tax Court was not affected by the flood and they could have cared less that we were affected," Parker said. "And also, [the documents] go out through the almost 50 field offices that handle Tax Court litigation, where we have to get to. They weren't affected, so we had to ensure that we could set up quickly and continue processing these documents."
In her nomination of Parker for a Top Leader award, LaNita Van Dyke, chief of the Chief Counsel's Publications & Regulations Branch, wrote:
"Upon being informed of available office space in an office building located about one mile from the main building, [Parker] immediately gathered his managers and began the challenging task of quickly establishing operations in the new location. To further complicate this daunting task was that IRS building had no electrical power and the LPD offices were located on the fifth floor, thus adding to the difficulty of moving files, supplies, and equipment needed for processing the documents. Mr. Parker was able to assume responsibility of a computer training room and a conference room. He quickly assessed what needed to be accomplished in order to establish a working office and delegated responsibilities among the managers."
Within three days, Parker had his makeshift office up and running, with his staff eliminating a two-day backlog in the process of getting caught up.
"The Tax Court documents were processed timely with no adverse effect," Van Dyke wrote. "During the six-week period in this makeshift office, more than 15,000 Tax Court documents were processed timely. This entire process of relocating the office occurred two more times within a four-month period. Once to another temporary building and then back to our permanent office facilities. Through his leadership and his internal drive to not fail, he ensured that each time the office was, again, quickly established with no adverse effect on operations."
Parker credits his staff for his success. In turn, he sees his role as a leader being all about helping them to be successful.
"The most important thing is you've got to take care of the people that you have responsibility for and that comes in a variety of ways. From ensuring they have the resources to do their jobs, to helping them to resolve any issues that they may have, to ensuring that they understand the vision of the organization and what's expected of them to make sure we're successful," he said.
What qualities do you admire in a good leader?
Parker: Be a good listener; don't be afraid to make mistakes or for subordinates to make mistakes; have a passion for people, help them grow and succeed in their profession; be willing to take chances; be proactive, recognize and resolve small problems before they become big problems; ensure subordinates have the resources and support to perform their jobs; outwardly display loyalty and support to subordinates and superiors; hold people responsible for their actions; and personally accept responsibility for failures and share responsibility for successes.
What is your leadership philosophy?
Parker: My leadership philosophy is based on caring for those you are responsible for, which usually breeds success. I follow the tried and true method of management-by-walking-around. This is not to try and micromanage, but to give me an opportunity to interact with the staff on a more personal basis, and not just business. I attempt to learn a little something about each person, be it how many children they have, what's the name of their pets, where did they go on vacation, is there anything I can do to make their life at work better, etc. I have found that this method makes the staff more comfortable around me and are more willing to identify issues that may be affecting their work environment. Also, individuals are less timid to make recommendations on how to make things better. Unless it's an idea that obviously is not doable, I'm generally acceptable to try their ideas, with the understanding that if it doesn't work out we can go back to the old method. Lastly, I let the staff know that they will be held accountable for their performance, and will be either rewarded for outstanding performance or appropriately dealt with for poor performance.
Who inspired you as a leader when you were younger?
Parker: While in the Army, there were two officers that, to this day, I try to emulate. The first was Chief Warrant Officer B.J. Schreiber, a legal administrator I worked for while assigned to Staff Judge Advocate's Office, Fort Gordon, Ga. I learned from Mr. Schreiber that there is never any problem too big to resolve and to accept all challenges with a smile. No matter what the issue that was presented to him, his first response was never "no, it can't be done." He always responded with "let me see what I can do" and seldom was he not able to resolve an issue. And, if he couldn't, he generally recommended an alternative solution.
The second is Capt. Clifford Rock, who I worked for while assigned to a unit in Athens, Greece. Capt. Rock, a West Point graduate, epitomized what a military officer should be, the type of leader you would easily follow into combat without a second thought. Though he was as tough as they come, he was not afraid to show that he deeply cared for those under his command. He was someone you didn't want to disappoint because doing so would be devastating to me. This is where I learned that a leader's first responsibility had to be taking care of subordinates, regardless of the cost.
Who do you admire as a good leader now? Why?
Parker: Unfortunately, I feel there are not many good leaders which deserve my admiration today. But to have to pick one today, I go with Hillary Clinton. As any good leader should do, she accepted full responsibility for the failure of her agency even though it seems clear the failure was with her subordinate leaders and not her.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to improve their leadership skills?
- Don't be afraid to make decisions or to fail, but ensure you have significant information before making decisions.
- Ensure your subordinates know you are there to provide the support needed for them to succeed, give them a pat on the back for doing good and a kick in the pants when doing badly.
- Ensure your leaders know when your staff is doing well; but, be careful when letting them know when there are issues with your staff.
- Don't procrastinate in dealing with problems because problems generally just don't go away but become bigger by ignoring them.
- Treat everyone fairly, but not necessarily the same; remember that people have different situations and respond differently to events.
- Allow your staff to grow professionally, even if it means losing good people to another office.
- Lastly, don't be a micromanager. This is one way to quickly demoralize a staff. They were hired to do a job, let them do it.
What's the most challenging part of being a leader?
Parker: For me, it's been having to deal with a very non-supportive boss. But, in general it's recognizing that people are different and to adapt your leadership style accordingly.
What is the most rewarding part of being a leader?
Parker: To see a subordinate succeed and grow, and move on to higher levels of responsibility. More From the Special Report: Top Leaders in Federal Service:

28 games
6 mins
dont think hes made it yet.. so...
plans are 56 games
10 min quarters
serpentine draft and all star difficulty
make it happen.
tell us the name of the association by pm maybe, cus when ther heaps of people its hard to get momentum going :/
You don't follow my Twitter, I lead yours.
When will pm's go out?
PMs will go out Thursdays. As of now it's looking like 28 games serpentine on All Star. The big fear I have with 56 is that A.) People will lose interest. B.) We won't go through enough seasons to make it fun C.) With 28 games we can allow a longer grace period in between games, it's not my intent to make playing this league "work". Plus with the playoffs being 7-7-7-7 that'll be a season in itself. And we want as many people as possible that will routinely play.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I agree with BallSoHard. With 56 games too many people will lose interest and stop playing.
Yeahhhhh, 28 games might be best.
Set this thing up and let people start picking teams and set a date for the draft. I'm ready to get this thing started!
Yes, please do it NOOOW!!! (Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice)
I'll play, and we should def do a fantasy draft! don't care about the difficulty too much..(i'd probably lose no matter what)
Let's go ahead and agree to play as sim as possible. IE no full court press the whole game. Let's not exploit, let's not do like what going on in 360 land and reach in for the steal every opportunity. Let's be adults and let's not make me babysit, PLEASE!
Any chance a Monday night would work for everyone? I fly out every Sunday night and am not usually in till around midnight.
First, I need a volunteer to be my Adam Silver ie co commish.
Second, all complaints will be sent to the league office Ie me and the cocommish to be resolved. Seriously don't start blasting people on the boards, Thats not what these boards are for.

McLaughlin Comes Up with Match Highs On His Own Senior Night as Men's Volleyball Sweeps Barton 3-0; Host Lees-McRae in Tourney Opener on Sunday
April 11, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Playing in his final regular season match on his own senior night, Michael McLaughlin (Aliquippa, PA) led the way with 13 kills hitting .476 as Pfeiffer University swept Barton College 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-14) in Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action on Wednesday night. The victory improves the Falcons to 19-6 overall, 9-1 in league play, clinching the regular season title and #1 seed for the upcoming tournament. The Bulldogs end its inaugural season 0-17, 0-10.
McLaughlin registered his first kill on the night midway through set one to put the Falcons up 15-9. Quentin Moore (Richmond, VA) and Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) would follow suit with their own kills, coupled with Barton errors, as Pfeiffer claimed a five-point, set one win.
Moore and Brophy would help race the Falcons out to a 12-7 advantage in set two before McLaughlin heated up. After a kill by Konstantin Weise (Berlin, GERMANY), McLaughlin would put down three of the sets final seven kills as Pfeiffer took a 2-0 match lead with a 25-17 win.
Barton jumped out to a 5-1 lead in set three on a Zach McCalla (Chesapeake, VA) kill and ace while the Bulldogs cashed in on three-straight Pfeiffer miscues. Moore would turn things around for Pfeiffer moments later in front of McLaughlin serving up one of his two aces on the night. Weise and McLaughlin continued to play well until the end as fittingly, the senior picked up the nights final kill clinching the sweep for the Falcons.
Behind McLaughlins 13 kills, Brophy finished in double-digits with 10 while Weise hit .444 in the victory. David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) averaged 11 assists per set concluding with 33 while libero Mark Hess (Lebanon, PA) chipped in with nine digs.
Pfeiffer will now advance into the first-ever Conference Carolinas tournament as the top-seed with home court advantage. The Falcons will host fourth-seeded Lees-McRae on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com. The Falcons will be hosting a blackout for the tournament while giving away free pizza to the first 100 fans and tossing out prizes throughout the match. Admission for the tournament matches will be $5.

Long-range shots boost Murphy girls in fast start
Did they ever.
With six 3-point goals in the first quarter, including four by senior guard MaireMichael Carroll, the Wildcats jumped to an early double-digit lead they never lost on the way to a 65-50 Cascade Conference victory over the visiting Knights.
The win raised Archbishop Murphy's league record to 10-0 and its season mark to 13-2.
Afterward, Bircher said he was "extremely pleased" with the outcome. "King's is tough," he pointed out, "and they made a nice run at us. But I thought we played smart. Our kids really hung in there and showed some (good) mental toughness."
No question, the opening quarter was decisive. Archbishop Murphy scored the game's first eight points, including two 3-pointers, while King's was committing four turnovers before scoring its first field goal.
Carroll swished her first 3-pointer early in the game, and then added three more in the final three minutes of the opening period.
"MaireMichael was unconscious, and she gets that way sometimes," Bircher said. "She gets on a roll, and it's like boom, boom, boom, boom. And when she starts shooting like that, I wasn't going to take her out. We just let her go."
Though Carroll never scored again, "her four 3s gave us separation," he said. "(The score) kind of went back and forth after that, but that little gap we got in the first quarter held up."
Archbishop Murphy pushed its lead to a game-high 20 points, 33-13, late in the second quarter, though Kings closed to a 14-point deficit at halftime. The second half was evenly matched, with the Wildcats holding margins between 12 and 19 points through the third and fourth quarters.
For Archbishop Murphy, the victory helps avenge the team's sole league loss a year ago -- a King's victory on the Wildcats' court.
Freshman wing Madison Pollock had a big game for Archbishop Murphy, tossing in a game-best 22 points, including 10 of her team's 13 points in the third quarter. Senior center Beth Carlson, who will play next season at Santa Clara University, chipped in 18 points.
King's, meanwhile, had three players in double figures, led by Savanna Hanson, a smooth sophomore forward, who had 16 points.
Knights coach Dan Taylor was pleased with his team's showing, save for the first quarter -- and for that he took the blame.
"I put us in a zone (defense to start the game) that I thought would be effective," he explained. "I didn't respect their shooters enough.
"But I was proud that our girls fought for the entire 32 minutes," he went on. "Archbishop is one of the toughest teams that we've faced all season, and I told the girls (the Wildcats) will be as good as any of the teams we'll face in the playoffs, if not better."
Despite the 15-point defeat, "I thought our girls played at a high-caliber pace," Taylor said. "I thought we grew a lot as a team and I think they're getting to the point where they're going to be ready for the playoffs."
At Archbishop Murphy H.S.

Anastia Mays, 8, squished mud from a hole that was dug in the ground in her hands.
"I found clay," she said. "Look down the hole and the water is filling up the dirt."
She was helping out a group of volunteers at the Common Ground of Eastern Carolina community garden at N.C. 11 and Laura Lane on Saturday.
The volunteers were digging holes for a pergola they are building that is funded through a $2,000 grant.
"We have no shade out here and it gets so hot," said volunteer Karen Mulcahey, a volunteer and Anastatia's grandmother.
Half of the grant was provided by the Kinston Evening Rotary Club and the other half came from the District Rotary, said Karen Sperati, president of the local club.
"Our whole mission," she said, "is to help with projects that increase well-being and health in the community."
Lee Albritton, CEO of Common Ground, spoke to the Rotary last year about the garden needs, Sperati said.
"I'm impressed with what they're doing," Sperati said. "We had the opportunity to get a grant, and we felt this would be a worthy event."
Albritton said there is no place to get relief from the hot sun.
"The reason for wanting a pergola," he said, "is to have a structure for fruit, and the fruit will provide the shade."
The 6-foot-by-100-foot pergola will not only provide shade, but will allow for climbing fruit plants, including kiwis and grapes, Albritton said.
"We're looking to build a couple of benches for gardeners to sit down," he said.
Albritton said planting a diverse range of plants creates less chance of pests and disease from overtaking the garden.
Joe Kavanagh of Kinston, who has a garden of his own, was digging holes for the pergola's posts as part of community service.
"I think every community should have these projects — lots of them," he said.
Kavanagh said there is no reason anyone should go hungry.
"The main benefit I get," he said, "is, hopefully, someone will be able to learn to cultivate their own food."
In Lenoir County, 22 percent of residents are food insecure, compared with the state at 19.6 percent, according to Common Ground.
For $10 a season — a season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day and vice versa — people can get a 4-foot-by-5-foot bed to plant whatever they would like to plant, Lee said. They will also have access to the tool shed and water.
The community garden provides an educational venue and freshly-grown produce for people in need.

Two murders . . . two towns . . .
A woman sits in a wheelchair perched on a cliff high above the sea, her throat slit from ear to ear . . .
In a maze of narrow alleys behind a market square, a teenaged girl has been murdered after a night of drunken revelries with her friends.
A pair of horrific crimes, the first—a seemingly senseless murder of a helpless paraplegic—falls to Inspector Annie Cabbot, on loan to a local police department. The terrible death of young Hayley Daniels becomes Chief Inspector Alan Banks's investigation.
But shattering revelations threaten to awaken the slumbering demons of earlier, darker times, and more blood is in the offing when the two cases brutally and unexpectedly collide.
