Auckland City 2011 Fireworks
Super shaky mobile-cam and low-fi audio of the 2011 New Year's fireworks display in Auckland City, Sky Tower. Fireworks aside; highlights of the night were the 'Hare Krishna' jamming all night long in the crowd and the floating new year's condom. Reminded me of the plastic bag scene in 'American Beauty', only it was a condom and way more beautiful :D With my friends by my side looking at the lights and thinking of memories gone by and future ambitions; it was a great start to the New Year.

Though Romney may remain the frontrunner after tonight's debate, it was Gingrich who drew the debate's only standing ovation. The crowd tonight stood up and cheered the former speaker as he was answering a question about welfare.
Gingrich has taken some heat for suggesting that children in inner city schools should work as janitors to make money. Today he gave the example of his own daughter who, at age 13, worked as a janitor at her church.
The Fox News/Wall Street Journal debate tonight was the first time the Republican candidates took the podium together in South Carolina, where the economic problem is more pronounced than in any other early voting state. The unemployment rate is nearly 10 percent, above the national average of 8.5 percent.
For the Republican candidates, South Carolina is, in many ways, a bellwether of how other southern states will vote in their primaries and caucuses.
The winner in the Palmetto State's Republican primary has gone on to win his party's nomination since it became the "first in the South" GOP primary in 1980. Recognizing its significance, the candidates and their super PACs have spent more than $11 million on television ads in the state, buying up virtually every primetime spot.
Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, South Carolina is a consistent red state. In the 2008 general election, Sen. John McCain won the Palmetto State, even as President Obama won in the other two.
"This is a red-base state that always votes Republican and if Romney can win a Republican base state, it's a tremendous accomplishment for him," Clemson University professor and author David Woodard said.
The former Massachusetts governor is riding high from a wave of back-to-back successes in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first for a Republican candidate since 1976. And some of his rivals' recent attacks have backfired on them.
Romney is also helped by Jon Huntsman, who ended his campaign this morning. Though Huntsman was unlikely to get many votes -- he was trailing comedian Stephen Colbert, who isn't even on the ballot -- even that handful of votes could give Romney an edge, should the results be close.
But the list of challenges facing the former governor is also long. Huntsman's endorsement could actually be more hurtful than helpful to Romney, who is struggling to sell his conservative credentials to South Carolina voters.
"Being branded or embraced by the moderate candidate in this race is probably not something he was looking forward to doing just a couple of days before the vote in South Carolina," ABC News political director Amy Walter said.
The powerful evangelical group has also yet to back him wholeheartedly.
Santorum, Gingrich and Perry are all counting on evangelicals in South Carolina to boost their candidacies. The ongoing issue is that the religious right has yet to coalesce behind one candidate.
Romney's campaign has been particularly aggressive when it comes to personal outreach. Woodard, a Republican, says he receives two to three calls and about three mailers a day, and that's just from the Romney camp alone.
Several other Republicans, he says, have received messages with personal greetings, which shows that Romney is going out of his way to court voters. The former governor has a difficult task ahead of him, because he is viewed by conservatives with skepticism and continues to be questioned about his views on abortion and health care.
"To win, he's got to create some enthusiasm in the base and he's just not conservative enough to incite the base," Woodard said. "But a victory here says, 'Hey, we got a candidate who can reach across the spectrum here.'"

Guitar picking master Doc Watson dies in NC at 89
The wavy-haired Watson got his musical start in 1953, playing electric lead guitar in a country-and-western swing band. His road to fame began in 1960 when Ralph Rinzler, a musician who also managed Bill Monroe, discovered Watson in North Carolina. That led Watson to the Newport Folk Festival in 1963 and his first recording contract a year later. He went on to record 60 albums, and wowed fans ranging from '60s hippies to those who loved traditional country and folk music.
Seven of his albums won Grammy awards; his eighth Grammy was a lifetime achievement award in 2004. He also received the National Medal of the Arts from President Bill Clinton in 1997.
Guitarist Pete Huttlinger of Nashville, Tenn., said Watson made every song his own, regardless of its age.
"He's one of those lucky guys," said Huttlinger, who studied Watson's methods when he first picked up a guitar. "When he plays something, he puts his stamp on it — it's Doc Watson."
Merle began recording and touring with him in 1964. But Merle Watson died at age 36 in a 1985 tractor accident, sending his father into deep grief and making him consider retirement. Instead, he kept playing and started Merlefest, an annual musical event in Wilkesboro, N.C., that raises money for a community college there and celebrates "traditional plus" music.
"When Merle and I started out we called our music 'traditional plus,' meaning the traditional music of the Appalachian region plus whatever other styles we were in the mood to play," Doc Watson is quoted as saying on the festival's website. "Since the beginning, the people of the college and I have agreed that the music of MerleFest is 'traditional plus.'"
Watson never let his blindness hold him back musically or at home. He rose from playing for tips to starring at Carnegie Hall.
And he was just as proficient at home. Joe Newberry, a musician and spokesman for the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, remembered once when his wife called the Watson home. Rosa Lee Watson, Watson's wife since 1947, said her husband was on the roof, replacing shingles. His daughter Nancy Watson said her father built the family's utility shed.
It's that same kind of self-sufficiency that once led him to refuse his government disability check.
"He basically started making enough money performing — couple of hundred dollars a week," Holt said. "So he went to the services for the blind and said he was making enough money to support his family and they should take what they were giving him and give it to somebody who needed it more."
In 2011, a life-size statue of Watson was dedicated in Boone, N.C. At Watson's request the inscription read, "Just One of the People," echoing a statement he'd once made to Holt about how he'd like to be remembered.
"Just as a good ol' down-to-earth boy that didn't think he was perfect and that loved music," Watson said. "And I'd like to leave quite a few friends behind and I hope I will. Other than that, I don't want nobody putting me on a pedestal when I leave here. I'm just one of the people ... just me."

We ended up here on our drive down to San Jose from Seattle. While looking for a place to eat, we chose here because it was very similar to one of our friend's name…and we were getting hungry.
It turns out that this place has quite a bit of history in terms of how it came about. For example, it's supposed to be the oldest restaurant to have survived since 1879. It was also speakeasy too at some point, providing alcohol to folks in a coffee mug. NICE.
I think the food was normal. Not gross, but I don't think that it was specatacular. However, just for the sake of checking out a bit of Portland history, it may be worth dropping by.
It's a bit weird in terms of location because it's hidden inside a building from one street, but visible from another. Just look around that area and you'll find it for sure.
Normal, good.
I think that's what the name was…but it was pretty juicy and good. I knew right away that I wouldn't get full off of it though.

Consumer Drug Ads Can Alter Prescribing Patterns
Study finds patient requests for medications make a difference
HealthDay News — Direct-to-consumer advertising appears to be affecting prescribing practices, according to new research that shows doctors are influenced by patient requests for antidepressant medications.
"No matter how the request is phrased, patient requests were very powerful influences on physicians' decisions to prescribe," said study author Dr. Richard L. Kravitz, director of the Center for Health Services Research in Primary Care at the University of California, Davis. His report appears in the April 27 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Direct-to-consumer advertising (DTC) of prescription drugs, which totaled $3.2 billion in 2003, has come under increasing scrutiny since the cox-2 painkiller controversy, and the withdrawal of two of them, Vioxx and Bextra, from the market.
Some experts have argued that such advertising could help people get treatment for conditions like depression that are chronically underdiagnosed. Others argue that it might result in individuals taking drugs they don't really need.
To address the issue, the study authors conducted a randomized trial using actors to play six different "standardized patient" roles in doctors' offices. The "patients," all middle-age white women, had either major depression or adjustment disorder with depressed mood (this latter condition is usually a temporary response to a stressful life situation).
The three scenarios involved the "patient" telling the doctor that she had seen a TV ad for Paxil and asking for that specific medication; asking about medications in general; or making no request for medication.
At the time of the study, Paxil was heavily marketed and more expensive than many other antidepressants.
A majority (76 percent) of the patients who made a general request for medication received a prescription, vs. 53 percent of those making a specific request and 31 percent of those making no request.
For patients with adjustment disorder, 55 percent making a brand-specific request received a prescription, compared with 39 percent of those making a general request and only 10 percent of those making no request.
"General requests were a little more potent in major depression, and brand-specific requests were a little bit more potent in adjustment disorder, which is not the way you'd want it if you were doing an all-out DTC advertising campaign," Kravitz said. "You'd like your message to increase prescribing for those who need it, and to have little effect or no effect on those who don't need it."
The bottom line is that DTC advertising is not translating into best-care practices, the researchers said.
"Most physicians are trying to do their best for patients, and I think this highlights that [it] influences both patients and physicians in a way that's not necessarily good," said Dr. Matthew F. Hollon, author of an accompanying editorial and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle. "It appears that [it] undermined optimal therapeutic decision-making."
The study authors recommended that pharmaceutical companies do more educating and less selling in their marketing campaigns. If that doesn't work, Kravitz said, "the federal and/or state governments should impose a tax or surcharge on this type of advertising to support public-service message announcements to consumers that would provide them with the balanced information they need."
Still, it's too early to render judgment, Hollon added. "The real missing data point is the extent to which [such advertising] does bring those at highest risk for health problems to care," he said. "Does it motivate those at highest risk for high cholesterol, depression, osteoporosis, or does it preferentially motivate those at low risk."
The system, as it stands now, is also biased against those with the least resources, he added.
"Those at highest risk may be those that don't have health insurance," Hollon said. "If New Zealand passes a ban on [such advertising] this year, the U.S. will have the distinction of being the only advanced industrialized country that allows [it], does not limit pharmaceutical price increases and does not have any national policy guaranteeing health care. My patients, many without adequate insurance, pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs and when you look at the money spent on [this advertising], you wonder if it's really worth it."

At the end of each game, even if there wasn't a change of sides, he would quickly run and switch out the rackets. This was the first time I had ever seen this before. We had a good close match that
he ended up winning
. At first,
I was just slightly annoyed, but as the match kept going it became increasingly annoying
. It was like he was invoking some advantage by having a different racket set up that enhanced serves that I wasn't capitalizing on and therefore getting beat. He seemed to play exactly the same way no matter which racket he had, as his serves weren't that tough to handle. Most of the points ended up in rallies anyways.
I stuck around after our match to see if he would do it again, and sure enough, he was out there switching rackets during his 2nd match.
Is this common/against the rules/
should I be doing it???
Does anyone out there also use different rackets within the same match??
Yes, if you run up against someone as easily annoyed as you were, it would be a great tactical move.

In Playboy's September issue, comic creator Frank Miller is featured in their 20Q section. In the twenty question interview, Miller discusses his work on Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, 300, Batman, and Daredevil. Frank Miller once swore off working on films after working on Robocop 2, until director Robert Rodriguez came to him:
"Because Robert Rodriguez said he wanted to show me what he would do with Sin City. The irony here is that I designed Sin City so it could not be adapted to film. I wanted to show people what comics would do that movies couldn't. When Rodriguez showed up, I was so ornery. I ignored his first three phone calls. I wouldn't even meet him in my home. I met him at a Hell's Kitchen bar. He showed me some rough work he'd done, and it was impressive. I thanked him and told him the answer was no. He went back to Texas. Then he said maybe we could shoot a scene just to see what it was like. It's not the sort of offer you turn down. So I went to Texas, where he had built a fully functional set, and at one point Marley Shelton looked at me with her beautiful big eyes and said, 'Why did my character hire somebody to kill her?' Marley grasped it all and went out and gave three times the performance she had before. I walked over to Robert, kicked him in the shins and said, 'I'm in.'"
While fans have enjoyed seeing his work on the big screen, not everyone around the world has felt the same way, which includes Iranian politicians, who had strong opinions about 300:
"I'm ready for my fatwa now. [laughs] I'm banned from Iran, but believe me, I've made much greater sacrifices. What I love is that I actually made the Iranian government change its historical policy toward Persia. It went from despising the empire of Persia to all of a sudden loving it, after 300. Persia had been a globe-spanning empire, then Muhammad came along and changed the mentality and rewrote all the histories. Iran's days of empire are long gone, and they were just looking for something to get pissed off about."
Also in the interview, Miller discusses the fact he always hates films that come out, based on characters he's written in the past. Miller also stated that has scene pieces of Batman films, but never a whole one because the film's portrayals of Batman "aren't him." He also discusses why he created HOLY TERROR and much more in the rest of the interview.

Non-Profit Work: Make a Difference
We have many different clients in many different areas but little of what we do is as important to me as our work in the charity arena.
Sunday morning pre-8 AM I was in Central Park with a number of 5WPR team members for our client event, Voices against Brain Cancer. It was an event I will not forget for a long time– such emotion and devotion. Brain cancer is something which affects the young and old – and I was overcome with emotion at meeting some of the brave people coping with brain cancer. So many stories.
Such devotion and so many brave people who lent their voice to the fight against brain cancer. Consider making a donation online to help find a cure for brain cancer by clicking here
In the afternoon I attended an educational event for a non-profit educational organization I am on the board of and a touching speaker quoted Robert Kennedy in saying: "Some men see things as they are and say, 'Why'? I dream of things that never were and say, 'Why not'?"
Don't stop dreaming to be great and dreaming to make a difference. We match employee donations to charity, and personally I established the Ronn Torossian Family Foundation to give to causes I feel strongly about.
Pick a cause and do something. Make the world a better place.

If read something in my profile that you don't...
If read something in my profile that you don't like, please stop reading and move on to someone else. It will save us both the heartache and emotional investment required of a new relationship. If you are still reading, I commend courage and provide this short list of likes and dislikes for your consideration: Loves: My kids. Likes: 1. I love to be outdoors. Surfing has been a huge part of my life for the past thirty years and I hope it remains so for the rest of it. I love to watch the sun rise from top of Half Dome or over the Mokapu Crater on Oahu while perched atop my surfboard. I enjoy hunting and shooting, but do not consider myself any kind of "gun nut". 2. I love a good book. My favorite authors are Edward Abby and Ernest Hemmingway; they have a way of telling a beautiful story while leaving all of the ugly in. 3. Liberal politics. I've spent the last twenty-one years in the Marine Corps and my last combat tour peeled off the last veneer of anything good coming from a war. I've served through five different African civil wars in varying capacity, and have bounced between Iraq and Afghanistan from the beginning. This combined experience has shown me the best and worst in human kind, with a net negative result. 4. Balance. I believe there is a healthy balance between everything that encompasses your life; relationship, work, and time pursuing those things that bring you and you alone joy. 5. Irish pubs, open mic nights, people that have the courage to put themselves out there… 6. People who are comfortable in their own skins. 7. Art museums. Dislikes: 1. Dishonest people. I believe in honesty in all things. I want a woman to fall in love with me, not the person that I am pretending to be. The inverse applies. 2. Crowds. I am extremely uncomfortable in a crowded setting where everyone is bumping into each other. Sorry, I don't dance… 4. Selfish people and mean people. I hate bullies and people that apply their moral/religious beliefs on others. We are who we are, and the more accepting we are of our differences the happier we will all be.

MILWAUKIE, Ore. Police are hoping a sketch of a sex abuser will help them track down a suspect in a Milwaukie attack.
The investigation involves an attack on a woman in her apartment in the 8100 block of SE Lake Road, in unincorporated Milwaukie, on September 11.
The woman told police she entered the hallway of her apartment complex and a man offered to hold her apartment door open for her. Then, she said, he forced his way inside and sexually assaulted her.
She described her attacker as being in his late 40s or early 50s, about 5-foot-8, average weight, with brown short hair and gray eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark blue T-shirt, gray sweatpants, and tan work boots. He also had a unique mustache. (See sketch above, right)
The man fled the apartment on foot and was gone when police arrived.
Anyone with information that may help investigators was urged to contact the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office tip line at (503) 723-4949, or by using the online e-mail form.
The public can also submit crime-tip text messages to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office from a cell phone, by sending a text message to CRIMES (274637 on your phone keypad) -- with the keyword CCSO as the first word in the message body.

My husband and I recently moved to the Bentonville, Arkansas area. We have a 2 year old and a newborn. Our first son, we didn't get vaccinated, and where we lived we didn't have any problems with our pediatrician. Now that we have moved, finding a doctor who is non-vaccine friendly for our newborn is a bit of a challenge. Any suggestions on a family doctor or a pediatrician? Thank you!
Hi sarabeth, I'm sorry I'm not from your area and not able to offer any advice, but I am bumping this up for more attention. I hope one of the local parents can help out with some information. Good luck!
Married to a wonderful woman since 2010. Baby boy C arrived in June 2013!

I really recommend joining the Natural Moms of Benton County group on facebook as well as the group called Birth Junkies of NWA. Both groups get this question a lot and these moms can offer you their experiences with many different doctors in the area.
Rochelle ff: /home/simplyrochelle Wife to Matt; 9/08; 11/12; 6/13;
Every day brings me closer to fulfilling my dreams of becoming a midwife and a mother
I am moving back to NWA from Austin, TX, and I'm in need of a delayed/selective vaccination-friendly doc as well. Can anyone recommend someone?
We are brand new to NWA. We have a 12.5 month old, uncirc'd, mostly unvaxed son. I was wondering the same thing about finding a pediatrician. We went to Mercy Peds once and saw Dr. Jewell, who said he to be caught up immediatly. He has only had 2 vax his whole life, and she was pretty upset about that. So, needless to say, she is no longer our Ped.
I am on the brink of a move to the Harrison, AR area and would love to know of a non-vax friendly ped (or, better yet, family doctor) myself. Anyone?

Interesting Day...
I started the day with a nice talk with my science teacher about the weekend and my sister's former fiance going into the army next month. Easily the most human conversation I've had with a teacher in a while, so that was cool.
After class I started what is going to be a new tradition -- Free Kyle Hug Day -- just for the heck of it, so that was pretty cool and I had some fun time with a few friends.
Of course then Creative Writing rolled around and that was going well, until some random number called my phone in the middle of class despite the fact that I remember turning the volume down this morning. So my phone got taken for the first time ever. After class I had to go and talk to my teacher about something else -- specifically that I won't be at the school on Thursday due to a field trip for my aforementioned science class (we get to see dozens of cadavers woo!)
He told me not to worry about what I'm going to miss in both of his classes (cause I have him for Creative Writing and American Lit) so I was like "K." I also used the opportunity to receive a quest from him -- specifically, get a bag of beef jerky and exchange it for the phone, otherwise I would've had to wait until tomorrow to get it and that would have sucked.
So after trekking quite a ways through hazardous terrain I managed to get the beef jerky. I won't go into details about the adventure, but it was very adventurous and dangerous and I had a tragic and emotional imaginary journey. Case in point I went to the nearby grocery store and bought beef jerky and also a lollipop.
So yeah. Anyway I got back to the school and had to wait for class to start, so that was boring. Except for the pain coming from two of my fingers, because I scrapped them fairly badly against a wall when I went to talk to my English teacher. But whatever.
So class started finally and I presented the beef jerky to my teacher in a very ritualistic manner and received my phone back in return. On the way to my desk I had to verbally battle with several people to explain what happened, as well as how I could have gotten my phone taken away earlier that day if I hadn't had that particular class yet and then explain how I got it taken away because I had a different class with that teacher and then explain why I was taking two English classes and then explain who would want to do that and why. So that was fun; I think I came off as kind of rude, though, but still.
Anyway, nothing interesting after that, although I found out some interesting facts about the wasteful "recycling" of rubber tires that many recycling companies do -- specifically burning them or leaving them for mosquitoes (my mortal enemy along with cheese products) to use for breeding grounds, but I won't rant about that.
Eventually I got home and realized that I needed to finish an essay, but of course both of my computers were being used. To burn time while waiting I called that number that had called me and resulted in the aforementioned phone-taken-away-ness, but of course no one answered because it was a disconnected number, which means that it was probably a telemarketer using that number or something; frankly I didn't understand the explanation I got for what telemarketers do with disconnected numbers, but whatever.
So, since that didn't work, I watched the last episode of The Walking Dead while I continued to wait for a computer to free up. Of course in the middle of it one of them overheated and started to... do overheated stuff? Yeah. So that made things take even longer.
So once that was cleared up and I got on the computer I did stuff on BZPower, added some stuff to my essay and now I'm here, writing this entry. And it is fun. And interesting.
Anyway, beef jerky. Field trips. Phones. Yeah. Interesting day.

Chasing the Dragon
Among the protesters.
9:00 PM, Aug 30, 2004 • By MATT LABASH
I USED TO THINK that there was nothing wrong with street activists that a good scrubbing and a few rubber bullets couldn't fix. But that's before I met Adam Eidinger on the sidewalks of Washington, D.C. The first time I saw him in 2001, he stood nine feet tall. He was on stilts, and hadn't quite gotten the hang of them yet. He was scraping his glasses on tree branches and risking impalement on SUV antennas, but Adam kept at it to advertise an upcoming inaugural protest. "We don't want to yell at Republicans, we want to engage them," he said.
I hung out with his people, then wrote them up in snarky fashion. His comrades sent me several irate letters. But Adam, who runs his own progressive public relations collective, never complained. He just kept on calling me every time nuclear weapons needed to be abolished or hemp regulations needed to be relaxed. Adam, it seemed, would not be deterred. Adam believes.
We arranged a reunion on the streets of Manhattan for Sunday's mass protest of the Republican Convention. Now 30 years old, the former Eagle Scout and Naval Academy aspirant has been through seven arrests and countless court dates. He's had handcuffs affixed so tightly by D.C. police that he couldn't feel his thumb for a month. He says he was dragged by his hair and beat up by Philadelphia cops when he wouldn't give them his name once in custody, after undercover officers infiltrated his puppet warehouse at the 2000 Republican convention. ("I should've seen it," he says, kicking himself. "They were all burly guys who ate cheeseburgers among all these emaciated vegans.") But he is still at it, as he has been since the anti-globalization movement created a permanent underclass of free-range activists in the late 1990s. Today, Adam is not the stilt-walker. He is the "Dragon Master." He is overseeing the operation of a gigantic papier-mâché dragon, called, rather inelegantly, the "Dragon of Self-Determination." As dragon-names go, it's no "Puff," but it's all about the message.
Requiring around 15 people to operate everything from its fly-away tail to its munching jaws, which chomp on a Pinocchio-nosed George W. Bush blow-up doll, the dragon attracts all sorts of curiosity-seekers- from Communist Revolutionary youth to soot-caked anarchists who look like Dick Van Dyke's chimney-sweep kick-line from Mary Poppins. There are all manner of distractions, from reunions with former holding-pen mates to the pro-bono lawyer who asks, "Is this the socialist group?" ("Aren't they all?" I respond.)
But Adam, who sports a Brillo Pad of hair and Buddy Holly-hipster glasses, never loses sight of his Dragon-Master responsibilities. He lashes car batteries to the dragon's wood-rickshaw frame in tight Eagle Scout knots, in order to power the sound system. He barks orders at his affinity group, telling people they're permitted out of the dragon torso to take bathroom breaks, but they must find their own substitutes. He apologizes that the PVC pipes feeding into the dragon nostrils will not be smoking as they have at other protests. This is, after all, Mayor Bloomberg's New York.
Walking point in front of the dragon is Lizzie Croydon, one of Adam's close cohorts. Lizzie is a fledgling stand-up comic (she specializes in "world culture humor"), a 1-900 tarot-card reader, and an aikido aficionado who calls actor/martial artist Steven Seagal her "sensei." Dressed in an oriental tunic, Lizzie does shoulder rolls and spins bamboo rods, and while landing on your back on the bare concrete can be hard on a girl, she says she'd follow Adam anywhere, not only because of his commitment to nonviolence, but because she once heard him refer to their like not as "protesters" but as "attesters."
As we join the protest route up Seventh Avenue, the Dragon of Self-Determination is the belle of the ball-a camera magnet. But Adam spreads the love around. Taking the dragon's microphone, he transforms himself from a nice Jewish boy into the fourth Beastie Boy. He spins all the protest tunes from the Clash to James Brown to the Beastie's own "Finga-lickin' Good," while allowing every yobbo with a couplet and a dream to bust a rhyme on his sound system, like the skinny white kid who scream-sings: Hey Bush / You liar / Your cowboy ass is fired!

Right coaching can help employees overcome struggles
Coach Mike Krzyzewski (better known as Coach K) this season became the winningest coach in college basketball Division 1 history. However, he almost didn't get the chance.
Coach K was nearly fired after his first three years at Duke University. He went 21-34 overall and 7-21 in the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference during his second and third years. The Duke athletic director was considering firing Coach K until he received a visit from Bob Knight — Coach K's college coach at Army, where both legends started their coaching careers. Knight told the AD he'd be making a big mistake — in Bob's rosy vocabulary.
Coach K stayed on and turned the program around in his fourth year. He's gone on to 11 Final Four appearances and four NCAA championships.
Similarly, I write in my new book — "The Mackay MBA of Selling in the Real World" — about four Hall of Fame NFL coaches who started poorly. Tom Landry was 0-11-1 in 1960, Jimmy Johnson 1-15 in 1989, both with the Dallas Cowboys. Chuck Noll was 1-13 with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969, and Bill Walsh 2-14 with the San Francisco 49ers in 1979. They even got massacred in their second years. But management kept them on, and they were rewarded with 11 Super Bowl championships among them.
Face it: Something set those new hires apart from the crowd. You had high hopes their attributes would complement the rest of the team's and they would hit the ground running.
Your mistake.
It wasn't necessarily a bad hire. But when the "honeymoon" ends, your job as a manager is to make certain they understand what you expect. You also have to be willing to provide the training and support they need as they assume more and more responsibility.

Yesterday, Katie asked if we were "ready" for Governor Wendy Davis. Well, it looks like the Democratic organization Battleground Texas certainly is, stepping up its effort today to get Davis into the governor's mansion. Here's the email they sent out to supporters this morning:
Friend --
You can't win big elections without great candidates. And Wendy Davis would be a great candidate for governor.
It's clear that if Texas Democrats want any chance of beating Attorney General Greg Abbott and his multi-million dollar war chest next November, we need somebody strong to take on the challenge.
I think Wendy's just the right woman for the job. Are you with me?
Texas voters are waiting for a candidate like Wendy to step up and do something no Democrat has done for more than two decades in this state: win a statewide race.
I believe she can do it. But before she makes a decision, Wendy needs to know that you're behind her.
- Jenn Brown, Battleground Texas
An awful lot of confidence for a woman who is still trailing significantly in the polls when compared to Republican Governor Rick Perry. Public Policy Polling has even called her gubernatorial bid a "long shot" in the solidly red state.
But hey, at least Davis supporters can get some free swag:
Ask her to run for governor, and claim your free "We Want Wendy" sticker.

2002 Dodge Dakota SLT 3.9 V6 from North America
It's OK
Ball joints and sway bars.
General Comments:
Dodge Dakotas are good trucks, but stick with the V8. I have the 3.9 V6 4x4 quad cab auto, and the performance is terrible. 0-60 time is about 15 seconds. The transmission bounces through gears extremely hard and never knows what gear it wants to be in. This is because of the lack of power from the 3.9. The truck can't hold speed on inclines or in headwind. It's only returning about 10 MPG, even though it's a dog.
Other than that, the truck is the best midsize you can get; just stick with the 5.2 or 4.7 V8s.
The truck handles decent and has a very nice ride on the highway.
The quality is not the greatest, as the interior is wearing out and the clear coat is coming off on the hood and roof.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 17th April, 2014

Starlets, Klum get refined at NY Fashion Week
NEW YORK The starlets lining the front rows of New York Fashion Week on Friday would be right at home in the refined yet youthful styles parading before them.
The look on the second day of more than 100 previews for retailers, editors and stylists balanced a ladylike elegance with a youthful flair. Light colors and lace details were offset by cutouts or even leather harnesses.
Allison Williams of HBO's "Girls" and Hailee Steinfeld of "True Grit" watched the muted florals on denim and midriff-baring cutouts at Peter Som. Emily Mortimer was on hand for Jason Wu, who said his collection aimed to balance beautiful refinement with something provocative and sexy.
"I love the idea of those two coming together - a softness and a hardness coming together and I wanted to make a collection that sort of balanced, just teetered on that line of sexy but still sophisticated," he said.
Kate Bosworth looked the part of the modern sophisticate at Cushnie et Ochs, where the styles were sleek and chic. "The idea of youthful elegance is perfect for this show," she said. "I do think there's a movement toward a classic shape, a classic look, even if it's in a really loud print."
Meanwhile, the drama of "Project Runway" took center stage for the 10th anniversary season of a show that designer and judge Michael Kors said thrives because "fashion people by nature are a little high-strung, a little dramatic."
"Quite frankly, fashion people are interesting," he said. "Nothing against accountants but we are not a group of accountants, that's for sure."
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week previews for retailers, editors and stylists continue for eight days, before the fashion crowd heads for London, Milan and Paris.
For Som's refined and youthful look, muted floral prints were shown on denim (part of Som's partnership with Earnest Sewn) and midriff-baring cutouts were carved into ladylike sheath dresses that fell below the knee. A pink orchid-print bustier dress was dotted with a bit of more demure lace.
Standard button-down shirts and a lace T-shirt were jazzed up with jeweled collars.
Olympic gold-medal runner Sanya Richards Ross was there, fully decked out in one of Som's lace numbers. "I love fashion. It's in my genes. If you saw my grandmother going to the grocery store, you'd think she was having lunch with the Obamas. We're always dressed up," she said.
Som is known to play with texture, and he created a colorful patchwork of snakeskin chevrons. The best version was the shift that was mostly a mix of pinks and purples on top, and chartreuse below the dropped waist.
There wasn't a lot of room for error on the Jason Wu runway. But he didn't need it.
From Carolyn Murphy's opening crocodile-like leather sheath to the navy silk tulle harness gown with embroidery that closed the show, the look was slim and sophisticated. Lace insets, bra tops, sheer fabrics and sharp tuxedos turned into shorts kept lively what were really refined, classic silhouettes.

Kimball wins his first race in Ohio...a look back with ...notes from the Edge
Josef Newgarden: "Well, I think honestly the rain helped a little bit, just spread everyone out because it's so tight."
Sebastien Bourdais: "We had a great weekend (at Toronto) and finally capitalized on the pace and promises we've had coming into the season..."
James Davison is thrilled to have the opportunity to take on his first race in IndyCar, especially having won at the Ohio road course in past years.
The new changes will not be used for three already scheduled upcoming tests.
The reigning IZOD IndyCar Series champion set the fastest lap in the IZOD IndyCar Series open test at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Sebastien Bourdais is coming off his first pole and first win since 2007.
Charlie Kimball became the ninth different winner in the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2013, and his first-ever win. He joins three others who earned their first victory this year. Gabby Chaves dominated the Indy Lights race.

The Lewis and Clark chapter of the Illinois Society of Sons of the American Revolution recently presented scholarships and awards to 38 high school students, four Junior ROTC cadets and twin sister heroes.
The SAR chapter presented $400 scholarships and Outstanding Citizenship Awards to: Joel Brown of Mascoutah High School, Scott Nowak of Althoff Catholic High School and Jonathon Jahraus of South Central High School in Farina.
They were chosen from 21 students who answered five essay questions on American history. The chapter presented Sean Shaw of Waterloo High School a $500 scholarship provided by the family of Jim Lattig and administered by the chapter.
Junior ROTC detachments in the metro-east area designate their outstanding cadet to receive an SAR medal each year. Honorees this year were: Jeff Dixon of Dupo High School; Meaghan Nichols of Mascoutah High; Marlon Manuel Jr. of Cahokia High; and Jonathan Kaltenbaugh of O'Fallon High. In addition to medals and certificates, Jeff Dixon received $200 in the SAR essay competition.
Claire and Chloe Gruenke of New Baden were chosen to receive SAR Hero Awards for their outstanding show of sisterly love and sportsmanship in the State Junior High Track Meet in Carterville on May 10. In the 800 meter race, Chloe fell to the ground in pain. Claire picked her up and gave her a piggyback ride about 350 meters to the finish line.
The sisters attended the SAR awards ceremony at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Belleville with their parents Doug and Georgia Gruenke.
Each year the SAR Lewis and Clark chapter presents awards to high school students who exemplify the high standards of good citizenship. They are chosen by officials of the schools in the seven counties served by the Lewis and Clark chapter: St. Clair, Monroe, Randolph, Washington, Clinton, Marion and Jefferson. This year's recipients include:
* Scott Nowak, Althoff Catholic
* Nick Framsted, Belleville East
* Tyler Fedak, Belleville West
* Samica Odom, Cahokia High
* Ben Grapperhaus, Central Community High in Breese
* Ian Boyer-Edwards, Columbia High
* Rachael Reid, Coulterville High
* Aza Walker, East St. Louis High
* Jacob Homann, Freeburg High
* Brock McCorty, Gibault Catholic High
* Jacob Stauffer, Governor French Academy
* Daniel Pollard, Lebanon High
* Julie Foertsch, Marissa High
* Joel Brown, Mascoutah High
* Grant Camillo, Mater Dei Catholic
* Roger Lane Blake Jr., New Athens High
* Abby Rittenhouse, O'Fallon High
* Candace Shepard, Red Bud High School
* Sean Shaw, Waterloo High School
* Matthew Trimble, Wesclin High School
Sixteen schools in nine districts will launch comprehensive changes this fall as the latest schools in the state to earn federal Title I Section School Improvement Grants worth $62.7 million. These grants will help the selected schools and districts make significant changes to improve student performance and college readiness.
Brooklyn Unit District 188 was approved to receive $1.99 million in funding for Lovejoy Elementary School, and East St. Louis District 189 will receive $5.25 million for each of its middle schools -- Lincoln and Mason-Clark.
"We are extremely pleased to be named as one of nine districts that were selected to receive the SIG grant," Arthur Culver, superintendent of District 189, said in a released statement. "The SIG will allow us to extend the school schedule at both Lincoln and Mason Clark in order to provide increased learning time and increased time for staff professional development. Our academic intervention plan will include resources for college and career readiness and tutorial support, an academic Saturday Academy, peer mentoring and support for family engagement."
Agency staff at the Illinois State Board of Education, as well as State Board members, regularly visit school improvement grant schools to monitor progress. Grants are awarded for three years, pending re-application and state approval each year.
Harmony-Emge School District 175 school board is searching for a new Emge Junior High School principal.
Superintendent Pam Leonard said the former principal Kim Ray has relocated to Montana. "We are really going to miss her," Leonard said of Ray. "She did a great job. We are sorry to see her go."
Leonard said the school board hopes to fill the position soon. In the mean time, she said Ellis Elementary Principal Dave Deets and herself are filling in as needed.
The Belle Valley School District 119 school board approved raises for its top three administrators during its meeting last week. Superintendent Louis Obernuefmann, middle school principal Tamara Leib and elementary school principal Kathleen Goetter each will earn an additional $2,250. Starting July 1, Obernuefemann will earn $118,194 a year; Leib's new salary will be $109,058; and Goetter's salary will be $90,863.
U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis delivered a speech June 17 on the floor of the U.S. House to honor and congratulate Edwardsville School District 7 Superintendent Ed Hightower on his retirement.
"Thank you for your decades of service to our students, Dr. Hightower," Davis said in his speech. "Thank you for your leadership and your ability to always put the education of our children first in all of your decisions."
Hightower has been an educator for 40 years, serving as a teacher, a principal and an administrator. In 1996, he was hired as the first black superintendent in Edwardsville District 7's history.

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
slapdash (comparative more slapdash, superlative most slapdash)
- Done hastily; haphazard; careless.
- 2014, A teacher, "Choosing a primary school: a teacher's guide for parents", The Guardian, 23 September 2014:
- When you're in the front entrance, get a feel for what's going on. Tours are never timed to coincide with breaks but if there are any children milling about, see what they're up to. If they're on a dutiful errand, for example delivering registers, the school probably encourages a responsible attitude. If they're play-fighting in the corridor without consequence, it tells a less impressive story and could mean a slapdash approach to discipline.

THE settlers of Bukit Botak in Selayang will be given the keys to their homes by June 20 next year.
The Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) is building about 2,300 homes on a 55ha site costing RM79mil.
The project, which started early this year, will have 1,422 semi-detached houses and the rest apartments and shoplots.
Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the state received queries on the progress of the project and thus wanted to update the house owners.
"This 25-year-old problem of resettlement of Bukit Botak settlers has now been solved. The settlers now have new homes and they can buy the semi-detached houses at RM99,000.
"If they do not want the houses, PKNS would buy the houses from them at RM170,000 where they could get a RM71,000 profit,'' said Khalid, who visited the site to check on the progress of the houses.
Khalid said the PKNS had to build additional units when the Gombak Land Office found that some settlers were left out of the original list.
"These additional settlers were offered low-cost apartments at RM42,000 instead of a semi-detached house.
"We want to be transparent to all the settlers. My advice to them is to stay at this place as they would not be able to get a house like this for RM99,000 in other areas.
"If the residents prefer to rename the housing estate, the state government will consider the request,'' he said.
The Star highlighted the Bukit Botak resettlement problem on May 8, 2009.
The resettlement scheme started in 1985 when large tracts of land were pledged to the original squatters.
It was revealed that out of the 1,364 settlers to be allocated lots, 81 were below 18 years old.
Hundreds of names of eligible settlers in the Bukit Botak resettlement project were deleted and replaced with other people, some of whom are now only in their 20s.
There were also claims that grassroots politicians and outsiders were given lots.
However, all the 1,422 lots were adjusted accordingly, after the Gombak Land Office staff interviewed the settlers last year and rectified the issue.

Sounds fun. But how do you match pokemon levels for those who are not very far in the game yet?
I tried looking for people to battle on random match-up just to throw up a bit of variety to my game while I'm still journeying through the storyline, but most of my opponents have high level pokemon and have obviously completed the game.

About $382 million of the verdict won by Apple against Samsung has been reversed, with a U.S. appeals court finding that Apple's trade dress cannot be protected.
More →
Apple and Samsung were revealed to be in fresh settlement talks to put these billion-dollar lawsuits behind them, but it turns out that talking smack about each other over the past few years whilst being engaged in said lawsuits has made things, shall we say… difficult. In fact, judging by the tone of statements issued by both lawyers to the court that ordered, one might think they don't even want this to work and just want to spend the next decade litigating. Anything's possible, we suppose.
Apple vs. Samsung has been the biggest smartphone slobber-knocker of the last half-decade. It has resulted in massive profits for both companies, and massive amounts of litigations between them. Apple believes Samsung, once a close manufacturing parter, and Google, once a close services parter, learned from the iPhone how to make a modern smartphone and then used that knowledge to clone the Android-powered Galaxy S series. Samsung and Google contend Apple hasn't a case to stand on. So how do we condense all those years, devices, and proceedings into one cohesive telling?
A while back there was some confusion over Samsung's "shipped" vs. "sold" numbers for their then-new Galaxy Tab tablet. Samsung, like most companies that aren't Apple, doesn't regularly report numbers. Some "analysts" and "oulets" are more concerned with pushing an agenda or grabbing sensational headlines than figuring out the actual numbers. So, Samsung was generally credited with selling 2 million Galaxy Tabs in 6 weeks and Apple, as a result, with losing 20% share of the tablet market. Now, thanks to the ongoing Apple vs. Samsung trial, we have some real data to reflect on.
Jurors in the latest legal battle between Apple and Samsung will be allowed to see a video that demonstrates the patentability of different elements of Apple's products, despite objections from Samsung. The video shows people in various situations using features of iOS devices in ways that demonstrate a feature's novelty. Judge Koh overruled Samsung's objection without a stated reason. A similar video was shown to the jury in the original Apple vs Samsung trial in 2012. FOSS Patents:
Apple vs Samsung takes an unusual twist today with a report that Cupertino has actually shared some confidential information it accused Samsung of unlawfully sharing. It all centers around a confidential license agreement with Nokia, which a Samsung executive reportedly made known his knowledge of. But, according to FOSS Patents, Apple has outed the terms of the deal anyway:
It's no secret that both the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5 will be battling it out later this year, but the two most popular phone makers on the planet, Apple and Samsung, have already shown markedly different trends as of late. Both sold a ton of phones, none more than Samsung. However, while Apple's average selling price rose by nearly $60 quarter-over-quarter, Samsung's fell by $30.
