My Rating
Couldn't fault this trip and worth every penny!! Although this may seem expensive, you have to consider if you want to spend a whole day of your holiday travelling to/from the canyon via bus/car or if you want to spend only part of your day on the tour by travelling via helicopter. Everything went as planned with the limo collection from the hotel and there is then a short wait ait the airport before heading out on the 40 minute flight to the canyon, flying over the Hoover dam and lake mead. Our pilot (John) was really informative and was good company for the trip, willing to answer any questions and take photo's if asked. The picnic is basic, as expected and you get to spend around 30 minutes in the canyon before heading back to Las Vegas, finishing with a flight over the strip. Overall our trip took around 3 hours in total hotel to hotel.

Fantastic show and well worth seeing whilst in Vegas.

My Rating
Great views, great service, good food. Thoroughly enjoyable experience, but would have been a lot better if the boat had been busier to give more of an atmosphere. We went during the week, but would be better at the weekend. Overall I would say it was worth the money.

I thought this recipe was excellent! Super fast and easy. I omitted the fennel and pumped up the flavor by adding "Better than Bouillion" chicken base. I'm making it again this evening.
Great recipe, I doubled the amount of chicken. great taste, everyone in my family loved it.
Not good. had one spoonful and pushed the bowl away. All that work and not good.
I followed this recipe using measuring spoons and it was just okay. I'm not making this again and wonder what I'm going to do with all the leftovers that my husband and I ate only because we were famished. Kids had one bite and pushed their bowls away. They ate leftovers from the fridge for dinner instead. They're 7 and 9 and know good food.
i subbed shredded pepperjack for cheddar, half and half for cream and added more garlic. Amazing, zesty and spicy.
I made this with a few modifications: used chicken breasts, doubled all the spices, used only 2 cans of white beans, only used half of the whipping cream, and added a can of drained diced tomatoes. Topped with grated smoked cheddar and cilantro. Delicious!
I use chicken breasts, add fennel seed instead of anise seed (crush the fennel seed first), and I cook my own white beans, too. You can add a small pinch of powdered jalapeno powder for a slight bite.
Made this for football Sunday. Everyone really enjoyed it and I was amazed at how easy this chili is to make. I do agree with the other comments about it's lack of color. I replaced 1 can of white beans for 1 can of red kidneys to give it a little pop of color! Along with the cilantro, cheddar and a side of cornbread this dish looked like I slaved over it for hours. I will definitely add this to my weekly routine!
Delic! Used left over chicken breasts...so quick and hard to believe taste in such a short time. Added jalapeño and cilantro in chili because I luv both. Topped with additional cilantro, cheese and nacho strips...bacon and sour Creme would add even more to it.

"It doesn't look good" for Nash to play for Lakers Friday
Nov 2, 2012, 3:12 PM EDT
Officially Steve Nash is still listed as doubtful and is a game-time decision for the Lakers when they take on the Clippers Friday night.
But if you just want to go ahead and move him into the "not going to play" column, go ahead. Nobody is going to blame you.
Here is what Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times tweeted from shootaround:
It "doesn't look good" for Steve Nash playing tonight vs. Clippers, says Lakers Coach Mike Brown. Everybody ready for Steve Blake?
— Mike Bresnahan (@Mike_Bresnahan) November 2, 2012
"More Steve Blake" is just not something you hear Lakers fans say. Ever.
Nash ended up with a pretty bad contusion on his shin from an incidental run in with Blazers point guard Damian Lillard. This is not something serious, but early in the season it's not what you push your 38-year-old point guard to play through, either. Blake and Chris Duhon will get more run. Dwight Howard offered himself up for the job, tweets Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News.
Dwight Howard joked he will start at point guard with Nash's possible absence. Howard called himself "Tragic Johnson"
— Mark Medina (@MedinaLakersNBA) November 2, 2012
Dwight, that wasn't not funny. Just so we're clear.
- loungefly74 - Nov 2, 2012 at 3:33 PM
actually…that was funny.
- money2long - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:30 PM
but he said, that WASN'T not funny. i'm not sure if this double negative was on purpose. am i missing something?
- paulhargis53 - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:01 PM
0-3. I like the sound of that for the "5 future hall of famers".
It's going to be more like "5 future sidelined by injuries."

- sellahh - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:52 PM
Matter of time until what? Nash has a chronic bad back, nothing new here. Howard had a surgery and he still is dropping 30 and 15 in his second game of the RS. Kobe is immortal.
But i love how you're saying 3 out of 5, as in including Artest
- spthegr8 - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:33 PM
The Lakers WILL win tonight. Shouldn't have taken 3 GAMES too get the first W of the season but, it is what is!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S still LAKESHOW ALLDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- cpcfan - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:55 PM
This game will come down to the play of Deandre Jordan and his ability to stay out of foul trouble early..Hollins and Turiaf will come in for plenty of hack time on Dwight..
- sellahh - Nov 2, 2012 at 4:58 PM
15-19 from the freethrow line, man.
- slumdog66 - Nov 2, 2012 at 5:10 PM
Clips boy! Lakers are done.
- paulhargis53 - Nov 2, 2012 at 5:29 PM
If they keep playing Howard and Nash 35- 40)a night, they WILL break down.
It's plain stupid to do that, but therecis no choice- the bench is atrocious.
0-3 after tonight. Paul is going to kill Blake.
- buffalo65 - Nov 2, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Howard is a not a future HOFer. He is a train wreck waiting to happen.
- allthewaylive1 - Nov 2, 2012 at 5:51 PM
If the Lakers loose tonight, everyone, including the Lakers, will know that their problem is more than "meshing"…

Have you ever seen a dude who's not even a LAKERS fan spend his whole day-every day-commenting on LAKERS stories? Talk about obsessed!! I swear the dude gets "off" on this! It's unbelievable!! He searches, and searches until he sees "anything" that pertains to the LAKERS, then with his little "friend" in one hand and his iphone3 in the other he feverishly types away!! I've kept track of some of the stupid crap this dude has posted over the last few months. Check out these "gems"—"Nash will not be a LAKER", "Dwight will not be a LAKER", "If the LAKERS get Nash and Dwight they will win the championship (ok, actually he is right on this one)", "Dwight won't be ready to start the season", "Dwight is damaged goods", the LAKERS won't be able to contend after Kobe retires", "Dwight will not stay with the LAKERS", etc., etc., etc.!!! This dude knows nothing about the NBA. In fact, I'd venture to guess he doesn't even watch sports very often. He's nothing more than a casual Celtics fan who's ONLY real purpose for posting on this site is to take shots at the LAKERS. He posts like one comment on a Celtics story but spends all day talking about the LAKERS. The sad thing is, he's not alone!! There's others like him. However, he's the worst of them all. As soon as the LAKERS clinch a trip to the Conf. Finals you better be gone, sir!!
- lakerluver - Nov 2, 2012 at 6:55 PM
But I digress. When your favorite team has little to no chance of winning a title I guess the only thing you clowns can do is hate on a team that can win the title. G O L A K E R S !!!

You know what's more pathetic? A guy that keeps track of the things said in a post by another guy, who a long time ago told him he was just posting to elicit a response.
A guy who has vowed repeatedly to ignore this guy he rages against, but he is just too small minded to do it. A guy that judges his intelligence and well being by the thumbs on his comments.
lakerslurper, your days are numbered.

Brewers are one Sheets to the win
Dispute over run probably a moot point
MILWAUKEE – It might not have ultimately mattered, because the Padres might never have scored against Ben Sheets Saturday night.
But the Padres had two disputes with the only run that did score in the Brewers' 1-0 victory at Miller Park in a Jake Peavy-Sheets duel that was every bit as good as their Aug. 14 showdown at Petco Park.
First, the Padres believe the run that did score shouldn't have because the runner who scored it, Ryan Braun, should have been called out for running inside the basepath en route to first in the third inning.
Secondly, that run should have been ruled an unearned run – a scoring decision that could ultimately cost Peavy a third National League ERA title in a span of five seasons.
Just six days after the Brewers cried foul over an official scorer's decision that denied CC Sabathia a no-hitter in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee official scorer Tom O'Driscoll awarded Braun a hit on a third-inning tapper that Peavy fielded between the mound and first-base foul line.
Unlike Sabathia, Peavy fielded the two-out roller cleanly. But Peavy made a low throw to first that Adrian Gonzalez couldn't handle. Braun muddled the matter by clearly running on the infield grass en route to first.
The next hitter, Prince Fielder, then lined a double over Brian Giles' head and off the wall in right – Braun scoring as Padres second baseman Matt Antonelli's relay sailed over catcher Josh Bard's head.
Oh, the Padres had chances. Five Padres advanced into scoring position against Sheets. But for the second straight night, the visitors went "oh-for" with runners in scoring position.
Friday night they were 0-for-16 in RISP situations and 0-for-13 in RISP situations with fewer than two out. Last night, they were 0-for-5 in RISP situations. Going back to the series opener Thursday, the Padres have failed to plate a run in 23 straight RISP situations.
Last night marked the 11th time the Padres have been shut out this season – twice when Peavy has been on the mound. And last night was the seventh time in Peavy's 25 starts that the Padres haven't scored while he was in the game.
"I knew when we took the field that one run might be the difference tonight," said Peavy. "Sheets is that good. What was it the first time we met, no one scored until the seventh. So one run was going to be big.
"It just stinks to give up the one run the way we gave up the one run."
Peavy was blaming himself for the throw he made. It was low. But Gonzalez has dug out other throws at his shoe tops.
"If it's at my knees, I catch it," said Gonzalez. "But it was so close at that point. The ball went off the ground at my glove; it bent my glove back."
"I hate that I couldn't make a play on Braun," said Peavy. "I have to pick up the ball and make a good throw."

"After scouring the internet, I decided on these. I needed something last minute and it had to look perfect. The colors perfectly match the mom to be's color palette she chose for the nursery. It was so easy to edit and personalize it! I easily changed the wording and I love how I could change the font and colors for every line. They make it simple so you can't mess it up and it ends up being your own creation in the end. Being able to see what it looks like every time you make changes really helps in designing it to be your own. I was nervous production and shipping would take a while, but much to my surprise they arrived at my door a couple days after ordering! They are very thick and sturdy, not what I was expecting at all. They look beautiful and professional without spending a fortune. I absolutely love them and I know the mom will too! I highly recommend this product and company and I will be using tiny prints in the future."
"This card is beautiful! I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I changed the name to a different font than what was recommended, because the recommended fonts didn't seem special enough for the name of the mother-to-be. Fortunately, I was able to choose a perfect font from the vast list of options. My only complaint is that there are no coordinating pieces for this card. I think all of the invitations on tinyprints should at least have matching thank you cards. We are decorating the shower to match the card, so options for matching stickers or little place cards for food labels would have been nice."
"Very pleased! Excellent quality and shipping was fast. Very satisfied with this product. Backside of card is cute too. Able to work well with theme of the baby shower."
"In a word, beautiful. The card was perfectly sturdy, but still had a bit of a gleam to it. The picture that I had chosen for the other side was in perfect resolution."
"I just ordered these for my baby shower, I'm having a boy, and they came out wonderful! I ordered them on the signature matte paper and they are bright and cute! I would definitely recommend these invitations and will be ordering from here again!"

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Hotel Vitale
8 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Embarcadero
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
One of the only brand-new ground-up hotel projects to open in San Francisco this decade, the Vitale stands on the newly revitalized Embarcadero, right across from the foodie mecca that is the rehabilitated Ferry Building. This is new-school luxury hospitality, distinct from the stately palaces of Nob Hill and the high-rise hotels of the financial district, an unpretentious boutique style — albeit one with a rooftop spa and a stunning view of the bay.
Surfaces are finished in natural wood and stone, and colors are earthy, natural — very little high-design gloss here. This is a town that likes its urbanity with a side of humility; hence the aromatherapy and yoga along with the cocktail bar and the plasma TVs. Rooms are bright and airy, with full-length windows, and the better half look out over the bay, the bridge, and Alcatraz.
The Americano restaurant serves Northern California cuisine with Italian influences, all fresh from local sources, including the Ferry Building's Saturday farmer's market. And some clever partnerships expand the Vitale's services beyond the boutique norm — the doors of the Bay Club gym and the Golden Gateway Swim and Tennis club are open to Vitale guests at low preferred rates.

The location was great - very close to Ferry Building and within easy reach of links to other parts of the city
What the hotel could do better:
Surprisingly, the restaurant did not have gluten-free items so we ate out for rest of stay.
However, the concierge was wonderful - got reservations at two top restaurants - and told them it was our anniversary!

So, how do you maintain focus?

For me personally, the biggest strides I've made in my game this year have been mental. It's incredibly hard to focus for 1-2 hours at a time, but I have worked really hard at it and it's paid dividends. I think running long distances has helped me with this. Also, I do not let my mind wander during matches. I focus on things like my strings, the balls, my shoelaces, etc. to keep me from doing so between games & sets.
I know I have an opponent on the ropes when they start looking at the court next to us between points and games. I have them right where I want them!
You wouldn't have me on the ropes if I were looking at the court next to us. Everyone focuses differently. Right now I'm studying for my CCNA and I study differently than anybody I know. I read for a while, but I do things while I'm reading, like go on here or check my mail or whatever. But the distractions help me focus better for some reason because I'm relaxed and I somehow retain everything. It's odd but it works. Same thing on a court. I might look over at another court or they might look at me. I find focus rather easy, and as I mentioned in another thread you have to believe in yourself and tell yourself that you deserve to play great tennis. Believe in that and you'll get much farther than any 2 bit advice most people give.

Click here to see the scheduled maintenance downtime for MyCommNet or Blackboard.
If you cannot log onto myCommNet at my.commnet.edu, there are THREE things you can do.
ONE – Verify Your NetID and Password
In many cases, our users have mistyped their NetID or password. Be sure to type your NetID correctly as:
For Students: firstname.lastname@example.com (Example: firstname.lastname@example.com)
For Faculty: firstname.lastname@example.com (Example: firstname.lastname@example.com)
If you have never logged on to MyCommNet or a campus computer at any of 12 Connecticut community colleges, you will use your initial password. Keep in mind that your initial password is a combination of first three letters of your birth month, & (Shift+7), and last four digits of your social security number. Remember there is a "&" between your birth month and social security number. The first letter of your birth month needs to be capitalized. You only need to take first three letters of your birth month (capitalized first letter) and last four digit of your SS#. Here is an example, if you are born in April and your last four digits of your SS# is 1234, your initial password is written as Apr&1234.
Other reasons your initial password does not work are listed below:
a. If you do not have a social security number, you need to follow instruction on THREE to have our offices generate an initial password for you.
b. When you first enrolled to a community college in Connecticut years ago, your record in our system was missing either your birth month or SS#, you will need to follow instruction on THREE to "activate" your initial password.
c. In a rare cases, your birth month or SS# are entered wrong. You will need to follow the instruction on THREE and have either of listed staff to check and correct your record in our system.
TWO – Reset Password On Your Own – Students Only
If you have logged on to a campus computer or have gone to myCommNet at http://my.commnet.edu to register a class, check your grades, you might have changed your password and do not remember it or your password has expired. Your password expires every 90 days.
You can attempt to change your password to a new one at https://bor.ct.edu/netid/password.aspx.
There are four steps to create a new NetID password:
Step 1, enter your NetID and click on Next.
Step 2, enter the last four digits of your social security number and your birth date, click on Next.
Step 3, answer the security question, click on Next. If the answer you have entered is incorrect, you need to skip the step 4 and go directly to THREE to see how to have your password RESET.
Step 4, create a new password.
If this does not work, you will have to use the approach THREE to have your password reset to your initial password.
THREE – Reset Password
Stop by the following offices with your Photo ID (student ID or Driver's license) or call the office to have your password reset within the office hours, Mon-Fri, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.
IT Department: Wheaton Hall, Middletown Campus, 860-343-5711 – For Faculty and Students

Latest Imitation Stories
Involved in child birth and the production of breast milk, oxytocin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that this hormone also promotes social behavior in infant rhesus monkeys.
Researchers find that the monosyllabic sounds of the male banded mongoose are similar to the vowels and consonant sounds of human speech.
Research using new technology shows that our ability to imitate facial expressions depends on learning that occurs through visual feedback.
Psychologists have found that an infant's ability to understand adult intentions is surprisingly connected with language, even when they don't understand its specific content.
By studying how birds master songs used in courtship, scientists at Duke University have found that regions of the brain involved in planning and controlling complex vocal sequences may also be necessary for memorizing sounds that serve as models for vocal imitation.
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but how do our brains decide when and who we should copy?
Players of the game "rock, paper, scissors†unknowingly mimic one another's hand shapes, increasing the chance of the game ending in a draw.
A new study finds that from their earliest days of life, newborn babies cry in the language their parents speak.
Capuchin monkeys, like people, subconsciously warm to those who mirror their body language, primatologists in Italy said. Studies have shown people who are imitated feel more positively, or express greater empathy, toward those who are imitating them.
Imitation and mimicry have long been an interesting part of human social behavior, but a recent study found that imitation may serve as a way for monkeys to form connections.

MedPAC noted that there are no standardized data collection methods or models to analyze hospice operations. Data are also lacking when it comes to tracking the services provided to patients with specific diagnoses, making it difficult to gauge whether Medicare reimbursements are in line with the cost of hospice care.
In the past, Congress has rejected Administration requests to reduce the level of hospice reimbursement, realizing the harmful impact such cuts would have on care at the bedside. Today, sentiment on Capitol Hill largely remains the same -- a bicameral and bipartisan group of more than 90 members of Congress have sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt in opposition to the proposed rule.
Hospices provide compassionate care for those reaching the end of life, and they do it while saving Medicare an average of $2,300 per patient, according to an independent 2007 Duke University study, amounting to savings of more than $2 billion last year. The focus is on caring, not curing, and, in most cases, care is provided in the patient's home.
Hospice programs served more than 1.3 million patients and their families in 2006 and that number is expected to continue to rise as more terminally ill patients seek high quality, compassionate end-of-life care. Close to 99 percent of families who experienced hospice for their loved one would recommend it to others.

Where Jews Stood on Slavery
The Civil War divded more than just North and South
Next month will see the 150th anniversary of the bombing of Fort Sumter, and the following four years will have many commemorations besides. As part of its DISUNION series, which essentially blogs the Civil War 150 years to the days afters its events occur, the New York Times's Opinionator blog published a fascinating entry on Jewish response to secession.
Many American Jews found themselves between a rock and several hard places: In the north, they were Unionist; the Torah arguably sanctions slavery; southern Jews such as future Confederate Secretary of State Judah P. Benjamin were staunch members of the slave-holding elite; and, to top it all off, northern abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison were mainly evangelical Christians who regularly trafficked in standard anti-Semitism. Take, for example, one anti-slavery Ohio senator, who called Benjamin "an Israelite with Egyptian principles."
And yet, didn't the Jew-baiting Ohioan also have a point?
Among Jews then, the most influential voice was Rabbi Morris J. Raphall of lower Manhattan's B'nai Jeshurun (the ancestor of the modern-day non-denominational synagogue on the Upper West Side), who argued that the story of Noah's son Ham provided license for slavery, but that Southern slavery—which treated the slaves not as humans but as things, he argued—was, shall we say, unkosher. Jewish scholar Michael Heilprin countered by arguing that the crucial word in Ham's story is properly translated not as "slave" but as "servant," which would make all slavery, Southern or otherwise, verboten.
The true hero, however, is the Bavaria-born Reform Baltimore rabbi David Einhorn. "Jews for thousands of years consciously or unconsciously were fighting for freedom of conscience," he wrote. Raphall's arguments were "deplorable;" slavery was "immoral and must be abolished."
Incidentally, Jonathan Sarna is at work on a Nextbook Press book about then-General Ulysses S. Grant's infamous expulsion of the Jews from the war zone.

Take your new team to the top: how to motivate the accounting and finance team to add value to your organization.
In Vision. Start with a clear vision of a finance team that is involved in the business and engaged in key management decisions.
* Stakeholders. Identify and engage key stakeholders right away. Conduct structured interviews to identify what is most important to your internal clients.
* Current Organization. Immediately evaluate the existing organization by asking team members to describe their current roles and to explain their work history in the current organization.
* Right Hand. During the initial assessment period, also look for someone who can be your "right hand?' This is someone who shares your vision for the finance team.
* Assimilation. Hold a team meeting facilitated by HR. Reward team members who clearly fit the new vision. Strategically recruit new employees who will mix well with the team and encourage them to move in the new direction.
* Lessons. Timing is critical; don't delay tough decisions. Create the right blend of new team members with established staff to maximize results. Respond quickly and effectively to the small things first to achieve "early wins" and build confidence.
* Don't take on too much at once. Don't settle for less than what you want to achieve. Communicate important issues up the organization. Have the tough conversations.
The challenge for any leader moving into a new organization is to hit the ground running, quickly bringing value to the business he or she is supporting. In no field is this more true than corporate finance, where pressure to reduce costs is high and management tenure increasingly short.
Mike Kaelin, vice president of finance for a business unit of RTI International, has a track record of building high-performing finance teams who are recognized for bringing value to the businesses they support. He has refined a process for evaluating, motivating and building teams over the course of his last three financial leadership positions and shares the system and lessons learned along the way.
Start with a clear vision of a finance team that is involved in the business and engaged in key management decisions. This vision is communicated to both the team and the key stakeholders outside of the finance team. Your vision will be used to develop, implement and measure the success of specific objectives and tactics during the execution of the rest of this process.
This step is vital. Everyone wants to know where they are going and why.
Identify and engage key stakeholders right away. This step includes both your boss and peers outside the walls of finance. These internal clients or customers should be treated the same way you would treat clients if you were running a private practice. Your mission is to serve and complement their needs.
Conduct structured interviews to identify what is most important to your internal customers. If your predecessor did not share your value-added approach, then initially your peers may not understand the reason for your questions, says Kaelin.
At this point you are building your relationship in the organization and looking for opportunities to demonstrate how your team can bring value to internal customers. In effect, you are teaching your team how to serve while teaching the business how to be served by your team.
Meeting with internal customers is not a one-time event; it is an ongoing process. Kaelin schedules one-on-one meetings with each customer every two weeks. While this requires a significant amount of time, it helps tremendously when it comes to implementation. Transitions are much smoother as the customers discover that their input results in specific actions.
A quick evaluation of the existing organization is critical to a new leader's success. In addition to ending the suspense for team members, it is essential to know the strengths of existing team members and to determine that everyone is in the right role to leverage their strengths and interests.
In individual interviews with your group, give each team member an opportunity to start learning about you while you learn about them. Start by asking team members to describe their current roles and to explain their work history in the organization. Also ask about their past positions and probe to discover what their biggest challenges are. Make a point to learn what does and does not motivate them and how you can help them be more successful.
During the initial assessment period, look for someone who can be your "right hand." This is someone who shares your vision for the finance team. Kaelin sometimes finds this person on an existing team and at other times goes outside of the organization to find this critical person. In this individual you are looking for someone whose skills complement yours.
Another factor is making certain that this person is right for your current organization. At times it is tempting to hire someone who has worked for you in a previous company. Sometimes this can be a great move, but just because an individual was well-suited for a prior situation does not mean that they are the right fit for the next one.
A final consideration is cultural fit. If changing the culture of the existing team is a goal, then it is essential for this "right hand" to be an effective cheerleader for the changes that are slated to take place in the organization.
The heavy lifting comes next. Now that you have input from the internal clients your department supports and have developed some initial impressions of the members of the team you inherited, the next step is to learn more about your team and help them learn more about you. This is a critical step as it builds the next level of trust required to work toward changing the organization.
Kaelin calls on the human resource department for assistance with the first step in the assimilation process--a team meeting facilitated by HR. This meeting is held off-site in an informal setting. The team is given 13 questions to answer about Kaelin.
He does not attend this part of the meeting. After they have answered these questions, Kaelin comes into the meeting and reviews their answers and addresses the additional questions raised during the session. This process provides a very "safe" environment for the team members to learn what they want to know about their new leader.
More information about the team is also revealed during this session. You have an opportunity to observe the team dynamics and note the level of engagement of the team members. During this process, the team develops a list of what needs to be done. Having the "to-do list" come from the team creates a dynamic that fosters the support of the team members from the beginning of the change initiative.
The final and probably most important benefit of this exercise is that it opens the door for communication between you and the individuals on your team. This environment gives you a chance to let the team see your human side. By being open and willing to share about yourself, you encourage a level of trust that facilitates the relationship building needed to effect change.
Your goal is to create an environment where your staff will bring the issues to you. Early in the process, find ways to reward team members who clearly fit the new vision. As you determine who will not contribute well to the new organization, strategically recruit new employees who will mix well with the team, and encourage them to move in the new direction that you have set.
Kaelin is the first to admit that he has made mistakes along the way. Here are some tips based on these experiences:
* The timing of when you make changes is critical. Be careful not to delay making the tough decisions.
* Create the right blend of new team members with the established staff and refocus to get maximum results.
* Respond quickly and effectively to the small things first. This creates early wins, which build confidence within the team and within the organization you are serving.
* Take on the big challenges after building your credibility within the organization.
* Do not take on too much at once.
* Be resolute in your goals--do not settle for less than what you want to achieve.
* Communicate important issues up the organization.
* Have the tough conversations.
To be successful in today's climate, financial leaders are required to have more than technical accounting skills. The ability to attract and retain top financial talent and meld and motivate these talented individuals into a high-performing team is essential.
This process is a great example of how a strong technician can expand his or her abilities and achieve more through effective deployment of a talented group of finance professionals. Making this effort a priority is certain to enhance the success of your career and the success of the business you are supporting.
A Five-Step Process:
1. Start with a clear vision for the finance team.
2. Interview key stakeholders.
3. Evaluate the current organization.
4. Identify a "right hand."
5. Continue the process of assimilation.
Questions for Stakeholders
* Describe your organization.
* What are your strategic business challenges?
* What are the company's business challenges?
* What process, if improved, can increase the productivity of your staff?
* What are your perceptions of your current finance team?
* What do you want/need from the team?
* Where can I be an asset to you?
* What are the top 3 things I should focus on?
* Whom on your team should I talk to for additional perspective?
Traits of High-Performing Finance Teams
* Hard working, motivated and ambitious
* Good sense of urgency
* High energy
* Willing to reach out into the organization and solve problems

Edward Dickerson
Lewis Edward Dickerson, 68, presented his confirmed reservation in God's kingdom as of May 18, 2012. Born to Garland Edward Dickerson and Joy Elizabeth (Turner) at Ryan, Okla., on January 27, 1944, Lewis grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, where he attended Sam Houston Elementary, Barwise Junior High, and Old High, graduating in 1962.
Married to Nancy Pollard of Petrolia, Texas, on June 21, 1968, he was the father of four children: Lance Edward (1970); Jennifer Joy (1974); Susan Meridan (August 13-15, 1977); and Hanan Joseph (1979). His offspring include Grayson Michael-Saul and Reece Gregory, the two sons of Jennifer and Gary Ostand; Landon Edward and Rachel Elizabeth, children of Lance and Tracy Dickerson; and Rylan Mark Thomas, child of Hanan Dickerson.
In his youth, Lewis spent most of his time working with his parents on the Dickerson homestead in Bonita, Texas, and spent a few summers in the Vernon area working for his uncle Elvin Dickerson. In the past few weeks, cousins from the Dickerson family have come to reminisce about the fun they all had together and to tell him goodbye until they meet again.
Lewis spent nearly 30 years as a diesel mechanic for Darr Equipment; the men he worked with there and a former boss from those days have come by in the past few weeks to tell him how much he meant to them.
They talked of fish fries, funny customers, domino games and good times.
Respected and appreciated by friends and neighbors, Lewis will be remembered as a gentle man who trusted in God's wisdom and who held his family close to his heart.
Other than his wife and children, he is survived by his sister, Joy Andirene Perkins; her children, Lesli and Erin and their families. The family plans a private celebration of his life at the family home.

This dialogue between Indonesia and the OECD supports policy-makers in their efforts to enhance disclosure of beneficial ownership and control as part of overall efforts to improve corporate governance standards and practices in Indonesia.
20-21 June 2013. Policymakers, regulators, stock exchanges, corporate governance institutes and private sector stakeholders from 16 countries came together to consider ways to strengthen equity markets through improved corporate governance policies and practices in the region.
Several regional initiatives provide a forum for the exchange of experiences between senior policymakers, regulators and market participants to promote good corporate governance practices.
This expert meeting in Rome discussed how changes in the structure and functioning of equity markets have affected the use of primary equity markets, investor confidence and the economic incentives among shareholders to engage in informed governance.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - 5-6 June 2013 - This meeting served as an opportunity to better understand the particular features and challenges associated with equity market developments worldwide and in particular, corporate governance policies and practices and their relationship to equity market growth in Asia.
This report sets out the shared view of 12 Eurasian countries on priorities and recommendations to improve their corporate governance and spur capital market development and economic growth.
Boards of directors of SOEs play a fundamental role in corporate stewardship and performance. Over the last decade, OECD governments have sought to professionalise SOE boards, ensure their independence and shield them from ad hoc political intervention. In general these approaches have worked; yet, more remains to be done. This report seeks to shed slight on good practices drawing on national practices from over 30 economies.
Discussions at this meeting focused on the first draft of the revised Russian Code of Corporate Governance.
This paper charts the key changes in equity markets over the last decade or so which may affect the conditions for corporate governance. It also provides a brief overview of related policy discussions and selected national initiatives that have been taken as a response to equity market developments.
With growing integration via trade and investment, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that have traditionally been oriented towards domestic markets increasingly compete with private firms in the global market place. This paper discusses the extent of state ownership in the global economy, the advantages and disadvantages that SOEs can face, and how potential SOE advantages can generate cross-border effects.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Earlier this week, the popular online dating site Match.com announced plans to implement a system to check their users against sex offender registries. This comes in the wake of a lawsuit against the company by a woman who says she was assaulted by someone she met through the website. While sexual assault is inexcusable, this would-be solution is deeply flawed. Match.com's plan isn't a good way to catch sexual predators (who could just use fake names), sacrifices user privacy, and sets a troubling precedent for allowing companies to peer into our personal lives and histories before doing business with us.
UPDATE: At the request of Mayor Ed Lee, the San Francisco Entertainment Commission has decided to postpone discussion of the proposed rules until its next meeting. EFF will provide more details as they become available.
The city of San Francisco has a long history of political activism and cultural diversity, which could be in danger if the San Francisco Entertainment Commission has their way. The Electronic Frontier Foundation joined civil liberties and privacy groups in criticizing a proposal from the San Francisco Entertainment Commission that would require all venues with an occupancy of over 100 people to record the faces of all patrons and employees and scan their ID's for storage in a database which they must hand over to law enforcement on request. If adopted, these rules would pose a grave threat to the rights of freedom of association, due process, and privacy in San Francisco.

Internet Security Savvy is Critical as Egyptian Government Blocks Websites, Arrests Activists in Response to Continued Protest
As we've seen in Iran and Tunisia, social networking tools have given activists in authoritarian regimes a powerful voice, which can be heard well beyond their own country. But the use of social networking tools has also given their governments ways to identify and retaliate against them. This week we are watching the same dynamic play out in Egypt. This is why it is critical that all activists in Egypt and elsewheretake precautions to protect their anonymity and freedom of expression. The protests in Egypt this week also highlight another important point: authoritarian governments can block access to social media websites, but determined, tech-savvy activists are likely to find ways to circumvent censorship to communicate with the rest of the world.
Last week's post about the increasingly draconian and desperate measures the Tunisian government was taking to censor bloggers, journalists, and activists online was rapidly made irrelevant by subsequent events. Over the next few days, Tunisian dictator El Abidine Ben Ali promised not to run for re-election in 2014, then offered widespread reforms, including freedom of expression on the Internet, and finally stepped down from power and fled the country. The steps that EFF called on Facebook, Google, and Yahoo to take in order to protect the privacy and safety of their Tunisian users soon lost their urgency. For now, Tunisians are experiencing unprecedented freedom online after years of extensive government filtering and censorship of websites.

An Altus woman was transported by EMS personnel to Jackson County Memorial Hospital, and later flown to an OKC hospital, with severe injuries after she was attacked by several dogs.
According to reports from Altus Police, the victim and her friend said they went to a residence at 919 North Howse Street, at around 12:15 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, to ask the homeowner about purchasing a trailer that was parked at that residence. The two women entered the property, which is surrounded by a chain link fence.
After making contact with a resident at the door, the dogs appeared and met the two at or near the front porch. The friend of the victim was invited into the house while the victim remained on the front porch.
Police were told that three of the six dogs, all medium to large size, then attacked the victim leaving severe lacerations and puncture wounds to her neck, chest, arms, legs and her back.
All six dogs were taken to the Altus animal control center and the three that were involved in the attack have been euthanized, at the request of the owner. The other three dogs will be held for the mandatory 10 days. The owner of the dogs has been cited for to many dogs on the premises and failure to provide rabies vaccination.

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is "dividing Europe in a dangerous manner", Martin Schulz told EurActiv Germany on Monday (28 April), referring to Berlusconi's attempts to score points in the European elections with anti-German slogans, while Europe's centre-right is distancing itself from his "repulsive" statements. EurActiv Germany reports.
Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi attempted to spread anti-German sentiment in Milan on Saturday (26 April), while campaigning for his party Forza Italia in the European elections. The right-wing politician starting a renewed verbal attack on the European Parliament president and top candidate for the European Socialists, Martin Schulz.
"I did not mean to insult Schulz. But then the floodgates opened", Berlusconi explained on Saturday (26 April). "Because for the Germans, the concentration camps never existed. Not the Polish one in Katyn, not the German ones."
Previously, in 2003, Berlusconi created an uproar in the European Parliament, when he described Schulz as the ideal candidate for a movie role as a concentration camp "kapo", a prisoner acting as an overseer.
"Mr. Berlusconi is dividing Europe in a dangerous manner, which personally affects me", Schulz explained on Monday, speaking to EurActiv.de in Berlin.
"That is the opposite of what the European Union was founded upon, namely cooperation among nations," Schulz said.
The German government was slow to respond to Berlusconi's attack on Schulz. Secretary General of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Yasmin Fahimi, called it scandalous that neither Chancellor Angela Merkel, nor her colleague in the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) Horst Seehofer, had not reacted to the statement.
On Sunday Fahimi told Reuters: "The statements made by Silvio Berlusconi are repulsive, outrageous and completely unacceptable."
The faux pas not only harms Italy's image, but endangers the entire political culture and values of Europe, Fahimi insisted, saying that Berlusconi must apologize.
"Now, I expect Angela Merkel and Horst Seehofer to clearly explain whether they will tolerate such a smear campaign against Martin Schulz or if they will actively distance themselves from Berlusconi's unspeakable statements", the secretary general criticised.
However, on Monday afternoon, Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters, "the claims that were reported are so absurd that the government won't comment on them."
Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the CSU, as well as Forza Italia, all belong to the umbrella organisation of European conservatives: the European People's Party (EPP). In the European Parliament, representatives from these parties are in one political group.
Head of the CDU's group in the German Bundestag Volker Kauder said he intended to discuss the issue with his colleagues in the EPP. "Berlusconi must be confronted on this," he said, speaking to ZDF-Morgenmagazin.
EPP top candidate, and Schulz election opponent Jean-Claude Juncker, said Berlusconi's comments "disgusted" him, in a statement on Monday. According to the Luxembourg politician, Berlusconi should take back his words and apologise to Holocaust survivors and Germans.
The vice president of the European Parliament and long-time official in the EPP, Othmar Karas, also distanced himself from Berlusconi's statements: "Berlusconi's faux pas is unacceptable. His words harm the common values of the European People's Party and the European Union. Such statements do not have a place in the EPP."
"More Italy, less Germany" is Forza Italia's slogan on their European election posters. The party claims Germany's austerity plan has brought about the recession – now a new direction is necessary.
Just two weeks ago, a court in Milan sentenced Berlusconi with compulsory community service after he was found guilty of tax fraud 8 months prior. Because the 77 year-old was determined too old for a jail sentence, he faces one year of part-time work in an Italian care home. Berlusconi was found guilty of pulling the strings to a complex tax fraud system surrounding his television company Mediaset. But despite numerous scandals, he remains one of the most influential politicians in Italy, particularly among those belonging to the centre-right.

It was an aural extravaganza at `Isai Amudham - 2006,' organised by Shanmukhananda Sangeetha Sabha, Tirupur, recently.
It was an assembly of child prodigies. N. Ravikiran at the centre with his chitravina, A kkarai Subbulakshmi with the violin, Master Satyanarayana with the keyboard, Umayalpuram Sivaraman with the mridangam and Sri Sundar Kumar with the kanjira filled the stage at Jaivabai Higher Secondary School, Tirupur, raising expectation. The occasion w as `Isai Amudham - 2006,' organised by Shanmukhananda Sangeetha Sabha.The programme started with `Evari Bodhana,' a varnam in Abhogi by Pattanam Subramania Iyer in vilamba kala and picked up tremendous speed soon. "Gajananayutham Ganeshwaram'' by Dikshit ar in Vegavahini followed majestically. During the alapana, neraval and swaraprastharas, Ravikiran encouraged Master Satyanarayana to contribute effectively.
Aural and rhythmic
While the audience was overwhelmed by the way Master Satyanarayana produced complicated phrases following Ravikiran, the little master himself went about his business nonchalantly, without a trace of self consciousness. Umayalpuram Sivarama n's mridangam was an aural extravaganza in rhythm. The mridangist, with 60 years of experience, could clearly bring out the swaras in his mridangam and even untrained ears could identify them."Raghuvamsa Sudhambudhi Chandra'' in Kadhana Kuthoohalam spa rkled with speed, variety and spontaneity. Then came the special composition based on the technique, "Melharmony." This innovative method brings together the `melody' of the east with the `harmony' of the west. Ravikiran presented a piece in Keeravani, s et to `tisra gathi.' It was meant to be played by 100 artistes, but Ravikiran's troupe could bring out a near-perfect effect with the help of the keyboard that produced the sounds of the trumpet, the saxophone, the piano, the bassoon and the flute. "Br ochevarevarura'' in Khamas by Mysore Vasudevachar was enchanting, followed by the unforgettable performance of Umayalpuram Sivaraman. Sri Sundar Kumar's kanjira was equally lively. Akkarai Subbulakshmi's violin was melody incarnate and she followed Ravi kiran with ease in pure classical, semi-classical and western compositions. Towards the end, Ravikiran played a philosophic song, "Vidhiyin Vindhai Arindhavar Yaaro'' and concluded with the galloping Thiruppugazh, "Muthai Tharu Pathi Thirunagai."

PCG holds 2 Malaysian vessels for dumping waste in Sarangani Bay
More News from Aquiles Z. Zonio
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
GENERAL SANTOS CITY — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has been holding two Malaysian-flagged vessels and their crew since Wednesday for dumping coal wastes into the Sarangani Bay and for violating maritime laws.
PCG commander Rerjard Marfe said the two vessels – Oceana I and II – were now berthed at the sub-port of Glan, Sarangani.
He said the PCG also fined its crew – made up of Indonesian, Malaysian and Burmese sailors – P10,000 for dumping coal residue into Sarangani Bay, a protected seascape.
Marfe said the crew members of the two vessels also violated maritime laws when they disembarked without permission.
Based on PCG report, the vessels came from Manila where it shipped coal and was to dock at the Makar wharf here to pick up outgoing cargoes.
When they learned that the cargoes to be picked up were not yet ready, the crew of the vessels sailed for Kapatan area, an identified fish sanctuary in Glan.
There, Marfe said, the crew of the vessels dumped wastes into the sea. Local residents, he said, confirmed the incident.
"They were even scolded by the local residents for dumping their wastes on the bay," Marfe said.
On Friday, the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), provincial legal office and the Coast Guard met to discuss further legal actions to be taken against the Malaysian vessels.
Glan Mayor James Yap Sr. said the crew had admitted dumping "minimal' waste into the bay but denied it was coal residue.
He said the town government of Glan has decided to pursue charges against the crew and owner of the vessels, which he did not name.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Lady Chucks this year seem to have a flair for the dramatic — especially one Lady Chuck, in particular.
After hitting a pair of buzzer-beating, game-winning shots in her senior campaign for basketball, Alex Magill played a key role in the Lady Chucks' 2-1 win over the St. Marys Lady Dutch Wednesday in St. Marys.
With two outs in the top of the seventh and a runner on third — fellow senior Tori Martin — Magill successfully squeezed Martin home and reached first for just the third Punxsy hit of the game.
HARRISBURG — The state House voted Wednesday 140-49 to cut its own ranks from 203 to 153, and to reduce the number of senators from 50 to 38.
"I believe that by reducing the size the House, it will make the legislative process more efficient, because members would communicate better and understand the other person's problem," said Speaker of the House Sam Smith (R-Jefferson/Armstrong/Indiana), who authored the bill. "And I think that will create better legislation at the end of the day."
With 253 members, the Pennsylvania General Assembly is the second-largest in the country.
Just in time for Easter, Jeanne Curtis, Punxsy's resident expert on the art of pysanky eggs, finally has her PT Cruiser eggs-actly the way she wants it, complete with pysanky egg decals placed on the body to match the eggs she is known for designing in the area.
