On the first night of free agency, the Lions brass and quarterback Matthew Stafford took running back Reggie Bush to Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse in Birmingham, Michigan in an effort to woo him to Detroit. As they say, the rest is history as Bush signed a four-year $16 million contract with the Lions the next day. As much as how Bush will be used in the Lions' offense – they say he will be used how he was with New Orleans – the meal at Hyde Park played a role as well. To continue their effort to welcome Bush to Detroit, the steakhouse has honored Bush with a ribeye named after him. Bush was back at Hyde Park in the last few days and tweeted a picture of the honor. via @ReggieBush

1898 Quarter Eagle, PR68 Deep Cameo1898 $2 1/2 PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. If there is a "golden age" for classic proof U.S. coinage, surely it spans the years 1896 to 1898, when coins large and small were given great care and attention in creating boldly mirrored specimens with magnificently frosted devices. While other issues in nearby years, perhaps from 1893 to 1901, are also famous for their attractive proofs (it is a boon for collectors that the proof-only 1895 Morgan dollar is from an issue that "comes nice"), the best proofs from the 1896-1898 period seem to have that "something extra" that sets them apart even from the best specimens of other dates.
Sole Finest at PCGS
Sole Finest at PCGS
This recently certified 1898 quarter eagle, graded PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, is the sole Deep Cameo coin at that level for the grading service (6/13). A coin such as this must be appreciated at all possible angles and distances: the arm's-length beauty of a coin that is clearly contrasted no matter the angle to the light but most strongly when the mirrors flash around the frosted devices, the close inspection that reveals the subtle "orange-peel" texture of the fields, the razor-sharpness of the devices under thick frost, and the fantastic all-around preservation that only comes into focus under a loupe. While no coin is immune to criticism, only the pettiest and most pessimistic of collectors could find fault with this tiny beauty. Enthusiasts of proof gold coinage, on the other hand, will find plenty to celebrate.(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 288M, PCGS# 97924)

So, I don't know if there are any character performers (particularly parade performers) on here that can answer my question, but it's worth a try anyways.
I went to character performer auditions in April and out of 300 or so, I made it to the last 5! I've been to 6 or 7 Disney auditions, so I was really excited to finally make it past the first round, let alone all the way to the end! There was a separate group of 5 that were being considered for face, but my group was being considered for parades and shows. We went through four dancing rounds and were videotaped twice. We were told we would find out anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. However, I had to mention that I was college program on my paperwork, and I'm sure they could look up my perner and see that my program doesn't end up May 24th. I'm wondering if they wouldn't contact me until after my program is over? Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what that means to be in the final 5 and be told to wait 2 weeks to 6 months. Is that a good probability of getting something, or more like a 50/50?
Also, if I go to the auditions on the 16th and get a lower score than what I got at the audition a month ago, will that affect anything? Or are they two separate scores? The auditions said nothing about the 6 month rule, so I really wanted to go again unless you guys think it's a bad idea. If someone could answer my questions, that would be great. Thanks!!!

[font=Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif]Thieves pull big diamond heist in Holland [/font]
Gunmen hijack armored car full of jewelry at Amsterdam airport
MSNBC staff and news service reports
Updated: 6:40 p.m. ET Feb. 25, 2005
AMSTERDAM, Holland - Thieves hijacked an armored truck carrying diamonds and jewelry at Amsterdams Schiphol airport on Friday and escaped with their haul, Dutch airline KLM said.
A spokesman declined to put a value on the loss, but the BBC cited unconfirmed reports that the load of high-value goods was worth at least 75 million euros (approximately $99 million U.S.).
The gems were on their way to a flight bound for Antwerp, Europe's diamond capital, when the robbers struck.
The robbers were heavily armed, a source close to the investigation told Reuters. The empty truck was later recovered.
KLM security staff were threatened during the heist, but no one was injured, an airline spokesman said.
Police and airport authorities declined further comment.
Reuters contributed to this report.

The Miami Heat didn't have much trouble with James Harden in last season's NBA Finals. This time, they should expect him to be much more involved in a different uniform. Facing Harden for the first time since winning the NBA title, the Heat will try to minimize his impact again and make it six straight wins against the Houston Rockets on Monday night (8 p.m. ET, Sun Sports). Miami (5-2) won its second championship by beating Oklahoma City in five games last summer, limiting Harden to 12.4 points per contest on 37.5 percent shooting in the series. Harden is the NBA's reigning sixth man of the year, and was key to setting up the finals matchup by averaging 17.6 points over the first three rounds of the playoffs. He had a career-high 16.8 during the regular season. Unable to sign him to a long-term contract, the Thunder dealt Harden to Houston (3-3) as part of a six-player trade last month and he's averaging a team-high 26.5 points per game in a starting role. He didn't need to ...

ID Tech Camp (Berkeley, CA)
I am interested in signing up my 9 year old for the ID Tech camps at UC Berkeley. We are not a techie family but like many boys his age, my son loves video games and computers. The camp is really expensive so I'm wondering if other parents can share their experiences with this camp. Thank you. -New Tech Parent
This was our first ID Tech camp experience, and we were very pleased with the entire experience: thorough materials, easily accessible info, friendly staff, nice camp environment, accommodating staff. Posted by: D H.
ID tech camp is a fun, educational experience. Your child will learn about computers inside and out. Whether they choose programming, movie making, or mulitmedia/game creation, they are guaranteed a week (or two!) of fun.

A compound that accumulates in cells more readily than a commonly used colorectal cancer drug may be just as useful in treating colorectal tumors, but with fewer side effects, MIT researchers have found.
Both compounds are analogues of cisplatin, a potent anticancer agent, but the newly investigated compound, known as cDPCP, may better target colorectal cells, potentially sparing other body tissues from damage.
"This compound, the antitumor properties of which were established in mice over 20 years ago, emerged in our search for platinum anticancer drug candidates with cellular uptake properties analogous or superior to those of oxaliplatin," said Stephen Lippard, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry at MIT and senior author of a paper on the work appearing in the June 16 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
cDPCP could become an alternative to oxaliplatin, which was approved by the FDA in 2004 and is usually the first therapeutic line of defense against colorectal cancer. More than 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer every year, making it the fifth most common cancer in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Oxaliplatin and cisplatin fight tumors by entering the cell nucleus and binding to DNA, damaging it and inducing cell death, said Ryan Todd, a graduate student in chemistry and co-lead author of the paper.
cDPCP kills cells in a similar way. However, the key difference is that while oxaliplatin and cisplatin can enter almost any cell, causing harmful side effects, cDPCP requires the assistance of organic cation transporters (OCTs) embedded in the cell membrane.
That help is required because cDPCP is a positively charged molecule. Working with cultured human cells, the researchers found that cDPCP engages the assistance of OCT1 and OCT2, which are present in the colon. Thus, cDPCP could be specifically targeted to color

Quite a few years ago, I had the opportunity of traveling over to Denver with Elder Marion D. Hanks (d. 2011), then an emeritus member of the Seventy, and lecturing as his "junior companion" in two multi-stake Book of Mormon firesides on successive nights.
He had been called as a General Authority in 1953, and had been a major presence in the Church since my earliest memories, so getting to know him pretty well over the course of three days or so of constant interaction was a lot of fun for me.
I really enjoyed one story he told me, concerning his own favorite experience of calling a stake president.
He had traveled to an area — I don't know the location — where a stake of the Church was holding a conference and needed to be reorganized.
On Saturday, he interviewed a large number of men whose names had been recommended to him, but, in his judgment, the new stake president was not among them. He was beginning to become worried, because a new presidency had to be announced the following morning.
So Elder Hanks asked for a list of all of the high priests in the stake.
When it was brought to him and he began to go through it, there was one name — a complete stranger to him — that stood out above all the rest. It seemed, he said, almost to glow.
"Is this man active?" he asked one of the current stake leaders.
"Yes. Very."
"Is he here tonight?"
"No. I haven't seen him."
"Does he usually come to the Saturday night sessions of stake conference?"
"Yes, he does. I don't know where he is tonight, though."
"Does he live very far from here?"
"No, not far."
So Elder Hanks asked if someone from the stake could drive him to the man's house.
When they arrived, Elder Hanks rang the doorbell, and the man's wife answered the door.
"Is your husband at home?" Elder Hanks asked.
"Yes. He's downstairs. He wasn't feeling well."
"May I speak with him?"
She headed downstairs and soon returned with her husband, who seemed a bit ill at ease and was looking intently at the floor.
"You know why I'm here, don't you?" Elder Hanks said.
"Yes," the man replied, dejectedly. "Around Tuesday of this past week, I knew that I would be called as the new stake president. I thought, though, that if I just didn't go to conference maybe you would call somebody else."
Elder Hanks explained that it just doesn't work that way, and called the man to serve as the new president of the stake.
And, Elder Hanks told me, the fellow turned out to be an exceptionally good and effective stake president.
I loved the story. It seemed, in its way, a modern analogue to the Old Testament story of Jonah.

Baguette Recipe
After a serious few hours splitting well seasoned wood yesterday, I ran a couple of test pizzas through the WFO and decided to make a couple of baguettes to test my 290C heated oven from yesterday.
Recipe for those who may want to give it a go (round off as necessary):
Item -- Weight(g) -- %
Flour -- 295.9 -- 100.0%
Water -- 192.3 -- 65.0%
Salt -- 5.9 -- 2.0%
Yeast -- 5.9 -- 2.0%
Combine all ingredients using mixer. Cover and proof on bench for 90 mins. Shape as per video, proof after shaping for 1 hour. Slash with blade.
Bake in 290C oven for 20-30 mins. Add ice blocks/water to oven for additional steam for spring and crispness.
Video: Traditional French Baguettes on Vimeo
Adapted from The Fresh Loaf recipe.
Re: Baguette Recipe
Thanks for the recipe! I'll give it a go. I am just starting to bake bread in my oven & was looking for an easy recipe. I guess "easy" is subjective. I have the FB Bread baking file and was going to start with the Whole Wheat Loaf first and then make my way towards baguettes. I need to work on my oven door first.
Re: Baguette Recipe
Good luck with your baking.
I made 6 loaves today and all came out very well. It may be worth tweaking the recipe a bit in terms of the the hydration. I upped mine a bit to mirror the consistency of the dough in the video.
Re: Baguette Recipe
nice job. recipe looks good.

Here's another baguette formula (attached as a pdf for 6 baguettes) that uses both a levain and a poolish component. (My sourdough is named Chef Bill - pun intended. Note that in doing the levain, I always make sure Bill is active before proceeding.)
I make between 12-18 baguettes with this formula every Friday I'm home and it hasn't failed me yet. I purchase the pale (6-row) malt grain at a brewery supply and run it through my spice grinder to produce a nice flour texture. Although some folks think the enzymes provided by the malt grains are overkill, I really think they add a nice dimension of flavor to the finished product. Frankly, I've started adding it to all my breads for that reason. My base flour is Harvest King (the 50# sack name for Gold Medal, Better for Bread flour). Hope the pdf of my spreadsheet makes sense...
Re: Baguette Recipe
i am getting concerned that none of my postings or even the reply s are being posted at all.
Re: Baguette Recipe
Sorry for the thread hijack, Heliman
Re: Baguette Recipe
i was merely concerned because when i clicked on my own name it still said i have zero postings. I am glad to know it worked that's all:) I am on another forum and it seems that that forum is completely dead so my concern was that this is an old forum that has run it course so to speak. i am very glad to know it is alive and well. I have learned a lot from this forum and i wished to contribute to sort of pay it forward so to speak. thanks for replying

David Molk
Michigan Wolverines center David Molk was named the recipient of the 2o11 Rimington Trophy which is awarded annually to the nation's top center. Molk was also named a Walter Camp Foundation First-Team All-American. "I am truly humbled to be the Rimington Trophy recipient," said Molk. "It's such an honor considering all of the great centers around the country, including the other finalists. It's an individual award, but it's a credit to our offensive line, our team and our coaching staff. I'm proud to represent the University of Michigan."
Molk, a 5th year senior, anchored Michigan's offensive line which paved the way for two 1,000 yard rushers this season (Denard Robinson and Fitzgerald Toussaint). He also earned All-Big Ten honors and was named the inaugural Big Ten Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year.
Molk will make his 26th consecutive start on January 3rd when Michigan takes on Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.

Ravens WR Torrey Smith is living the dream.

Not his whole body mind you, just his head and shoulders resplendently clad in his Baltimore gear. Smith tweeted out a picture of his spectacular birthday cake… My birthday cake….COLD!!!!! instagr.am/p/U-iiADE-Re/ — Torrey Smith (@TorreySmithWR) January 27, 2013 The attention to detail is magnificent. So much so that you almost hate to destroy something so fine by eating it. Wonder if there are any psychological implications to Torrey Smith eating a bust of himself, because it's kind of creepy when you really sit down and think about it.

Love of Fries
Obamacare is great
Well, this kind of scam alert about paying bills for seniors in the paper today. I don't know about that, but I do know Obamacare is great. I am a senior citizen and this preventative care medicine and paying all your tests and shots has been a lot to me, being on a fixed income.
Lobbying against the lobby
It's your responsibility
I'm calling in regard to "hire a lawyer." Yes, you do have to pay your back child support whether you get custody of your kids or not. It is your responsibility. It is what you already owed before you had custody of the kids. So, yes, you do still have to pay your back child support.
Bad math
Many thanks
I have a Good Samaritan story. My husband and I were traveling Saturday June 30 — a very hot day — from Martinsville to Fries. Our car broke down in Hillsville at the intersection of 58 and I-77. We were assisted all afternoon by Randy Wilson, Donald Wilson and Ricky Wilson. They repaired our car, got us on the road. We can't thank them enough for helping us out. When they stopped to help, they didn't know we were friends. They just made a goodwill gesture. We live in Spencer, Va.
In appreciation
City's beauty
First things first
I'm calling concerning the headline about the localities opposing natural gas company's plans. We sure don't need the people of Grayson County operating their own gas pipeline. County officials pretty much can't operate anything. We built a brand new school we didn't even need and built it without a playground. Operating a gas pipeline is for people that have common sense. A gas pipeline is serious business. They need to learn how to run the county business before they try to start operating a gas pipeline.

MONDAY, March 5 (HealthDay News) -- A new Canadian study provides more evidence that too many young kids may be diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, simply because they're younger than their peers in the same classrooms.
Researchers found that nearly 7 percent of boys aged 6 to 12 were diagnosed with ADHD overall, but the percentage ranged from 5.7 percent for those who were the oldest in their grade levels to 7.4 percent for the youngest. There was a similar gap for girls, although they're much less likely to be diagnosed.
The findings, which are similar to those from U.S. studies, don't prove definitively that any kids are being wrongly diagnosed with ADHD or being diagnosed purely because they're younger than their peers.
Still, "it's good for parents to know about this," said study author Richard Morrow, a health research analyst at the University of British Columbia. "In general, the younger you are within your grade, the more likely you are to receive this diagnosis and get treatment."
ADHD is a controversial developmental disorder, and there's been debate about whether it is overdiagnosed. The researchers launched the study to determine whether a student's age in relation to his or her peers may have something to do with the likelihood of diagnosis.
The study authors examined the records of over 930,000 kids in British Columbia who were between the ages of 6 and 12, during the time period from 1997 to 2008. They focused on differences between kids born in January (who'd typically be the oldest in their classes) and December (who'd typically be the youngest due to cut-off dates for school enrollment).
The level of ADHD diagnosis was lowest for kids born early in the year -- the oldest ones in their classes -- and highest for those born later in the year. Kids born in January and December had the lowest and highest rates, res

A reprieve for Jeff Wood
Anti-death penalty activists and the friends, family, and supporters of Jeff Wood, on Texas' Death Row, scored a victory last week when a federal judge granted him a stay of execution. Wood's struggle against the state is far from over, but neither did gross injustice carry the day.
Wood, 35, was condemned to death in 1996 for the murder of Kris Keeran, even though there is a consensus that Wood did not murder, intend to murder, or know that a murder was going to take place. He was sentenced to death under the "law of parties," section 7.02 of the Texas Penal Code, which holds co-defendants criminally responsible for the same crime if they acted as conspirators. Put another way, the law of parties allows for guilt-by-association. In Wood's case, he was forced to drive a getaway vehicle after the actual killer, Daniel Earl Reneau, shot Keeran during a convenience store robbery in 1996 in Kerrville. In fact, Wood was not even in the building when the killing occurred.
Reneau was executed in 2002, and Keeran's father has asked that Wood's sentence be commuted. Last week, Wood's family and friends, activists, and supporters from around the world clogged Gov. Rick Perry's in- boxes and phone lines with demands that Wood be spared. Perry set a precedent for this last summer when he commuted the sentence of Kenneth Foster, who received the death penalty under similar circumstances.
Even though Wood is safe for now, his example raises hard questions about the law of parties, indeed about capital punishment itself. The statute is clearly being used in an unjust and abusive manner when bit players pay the ultimate price. It is time to demand that our legislators correct this monstrous injustice.
The examples of Kenneth Foster and Jeff Wood are not flukes in an otherwise fair system. Foster and Wood represent the sad tale of most Death Row inmates: They are victims of indigence and poverty, inadequate representation, withheld testimony, forced confessions, and so on. Even if capital punishment were fair, its overall application reeks of bias and flaws, especially in Texas, which leads the nation in executions. Furthermore, the death penalty is not a deterrent to violent crime, and study after study has shown that it actually costs taxpayers more money than life in prison without possibility of parole, after court fees and prison time are factored in.
An anti-death penalty sentiment is gripping the nation because more and more Americans realize there are serious problems when it comes to meting out the ultimate punishment. However, the problem ultimately rests on the very fact that states have been given the right to kill people, not in any particular flaws with the death penalty's application.
The use of violence, force, or coercion by the state demands a high burden of proof. In this case, it falls on the state to show that the death penalty can be justified only in terms of what is necessary to guarantee the population's safety or survival. The right to kill people, in other words, is such a powerful concession to the state that it cannot be justified intrinsically. As it happens, there are viable alternatives to the death penalty that also prevent murderers from being released into the general population: namely, life in prison without parole. There is no reason to execute people in the name of protecting others.
It is time that we enter the 21st century -- nay, the 20th century -- by abolishing capital punishment now and forever. Last week we delayed the state- sponsored murder of Jeff Wood. But in Texas, we still have a long ways to go, and our work is certainly cut out for us.
Matt Tedrow is a board member of Texas Students Against the Death Penalty and a co-founder of the Corpus Christi Moratorium Coalition. Visit www.savejeffwood.com for more information about Jeff Wood's case.

It's one of the world's two best-loved flavours and demand for it is increasing all the time but now its future in the global food industry could be more secure, thanks to research at The University of Nottingham's Malaysia campus.
Vanillin is a compound that comes from the vanilla bean, the 'fruit' of the flowering vanilla orchid. The orchid is a tropical, climbing vine originally cultivated by ancient Central American civilisations such as the Aztecs and is now grown worldwide with Madagascar, Indonesia and China by far the biggest producers.
The uniquely scented flavour of vanilla is second only to chocolate in popularity on the world's palate. It's also the second most expensive spice after saffron. But highly labour intensive cultivation methods and the plant's temperamental life cycle and propagation mean production on a global scale is struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for the product.
Scientists in the School of Biosciences on the University's Malaysia campus (UNMC) are working to create new and robust methods for the cloning of some economic species and some rare species of the orchid through tissue culture. The research is concentrating on the most common cultivated vanilla orchid, Vanilla planifolia, a perennial which produces the pods from which the natural vanillin is extracted.
Traditionally the vanilla orchid is propagated by stem cuttings but this method is labour intensive, time-consuming and not economical because taking cuttings can cause the retardation of the mother plant and a reduction in yield. Tissue culture or 'cloning' of a high quality parent plant from somatic (non-reproductive) cells offers a viable and simple method for the large scale commercial production of vanilla plants, but the technique has a current flaw which the scientists are hoping to overcome.
Problems arise when variations occur in the 'sub-clones' of one parental line, creating 'off-types' which are not

Ricketts' bankers set syndication meeting
Published July 27, 2009
Bankers for Chicago Cubs bidder Tom Ricketts are scheduled to have a loan syndication meeting Tuesday in Chicago before inviting the lenders to a game at Wrigley Field.
Ricketts has been the front-runner to acquire the club since January, when Cubs owner Tribune Co. entered an exclusive negotiating period with him. While that window closed in May and Tribune has begun speaking with private equity investor Marc Utay about a deal, Ricketts is much further along in terms of financing.
Ricketts' three banks — Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup — have agreed to underwrite the $450 million loan necessary to complete his acquisition of the team. The meeting Tuesday is with other lenders who would buy pieces of the loan, a process called syndication.
Ricketts' bid for the team was $900 million. Any deal with Tribune must be submitted to the court that's overseeing the publishing company's bankruptcy filing.

Those hoping the Bethlehem Post Office can stay open and continue to dispense its own special brand of Christmas cheer have reason to rejoice, according to U.S. Postal Service officials.
It appeared that the Bethlehem location — called the most famous post office in Henry County for its name and its postmark with the manger scene — would lose its lease at the end of April.
There were no angry outbursts. No citizens offered complaints. Not even any discussion was had among commissioners.
When New Castle City Mayor Denny Benham invited commissioners to discuss last month's proposed amendment to the city's business license ordinance that would increase fees for certain businesses, there was a prolonged silence.
At its April meeting, the commission proposed increasing the city's business license fee to $50 annually, an increase of $15 for most businesses.
Dominick Ford, 18, of New Castle can't help thinking about his Uncle Ed, who helped make Henry County High's Tractor Day his favorite time of the school year.
Uncle Ed, full name Ralph Ferguson, who recently passed away, would give Ford a ride during the popular event that encourages students to drive a tractor to school during FFA Week.
"I like to ride the tractor with my uncle," Ford said. "I miss him."
Eminence Independent School district may be small but it had a big showing at the State Student Technology Leadership Program Conference held at Rupp Arena on March 26, according to an EIS news release. Students from the district received seven awards with more than 6,000 students from all across the state competing.
Tatiana Perez Harris won an award for serving on the State STLP Social Media Team.
Megan Riley received an award for her live reporting from the stage at Rupp Arena.
A median cable barrier project that will increase safety along Interstate 71 began Monday, May 4.
In all, 24.5 miles of median cable barrier will be added along sections in Boone, Carroll, Henry and Oldham counties.
"The median cable barriers are designed to help reduce the chances of crossover collisions," said Rob Hans, Chief District Engineer for Department of Highways District 6, in Covington.
George B. Stone Company, LLC of Sharpsburg, Kentucky was awarded the contract on a low-bid of $3.1 million.
Eminence celebrated the Kentucky Derby with hundreds of hats parading down the streets. Many were handmade or enhanced for the occasion of the April 30 Hat Parade
With the knowledge that everything has a season, Joy Royalty recently made the difficult decision to close JOYS Learning Center in Eminence.
The needs of her family and the demands made on her while running child development programs at Shelby County Public Schools led to the decision, she said. The learning center will close June 5, after the end of both Eminence and Henry County school years.
The architect's drawings showing what the new Edhub will look like resulted in "oohs" and "aahs" from the students assembled in the gym Friday for a special presentation.
It was the third birthday of School on Fire, and Superintendent Buddy Berry used the occasion to tell students about the largest expansion Eminence Independent Schools had undertaken in 75 years.
"It's going to be awesome," Berry said. "And we want all of you to be a part of it."

Last week I wrote about three easy ways to de-stress at work which included taking time out to take a walk and breath. Now I've read a study in Population Health Management published in the last year which shows that not exercising AND eating unhealthily are linked with large reductions in productivity at work (50 percent and 66 percent respectively). If you're one of those that isn't walking (or otherwise exercising) and not eating healthy, you might have a lot of work piling up on you that isn't getting done. No wonder the average worker reports feels stressed out at work. Being at work without feeling capable of working is called "presenteeism" and affects us all to one degree or another.
The reason eating healthier could help you be more productive is because you're supplying the body and mind with important nutrients. You feel more awake and alert when you eat healthy, leaving you feeling energized for all the work you need to accomplish.
So, how can you eat healthier at work? First of all, think about the culture of food at your workplace. People bring in all kinds of unhealthy food to share with one another (think cookies, cakes, candy, etc.). I know that this has turned into "thing we do" at work and I talk to people who look to cookies, cakes, and candy to provide comfort and pleasure. While that may work temporarily, this kind of eating then leads to feeling bad about yourself and a lack of energy for the work you have to do. This behavior ultimately culminates in difficulties meeting the demands of your job and that's when your stress level increases. As the stress level increases, you produce cortisol in the body which is associated with the storage of fat around your middle. Look down at your waistline and see if that's true for you.
Isn't it time we started thinking about how we can change our mind-set about what to eat at work? Here are some suggestions for eating healthier at work.
Tell me some things that you do at work to make the food culture healthier and if you are a University of Missouri employee you'll be entered into a drawing for a Healthy for Life lunch bag!! Last week's winner was Nancy Johnson, who won a new yoga mat.
If you'd like to know more about how to eat healthier all the time, think about enrolling in my next Eat for Life class starting at the end of May. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

The one question to ask before setting up a cross-functional team
Posted on July 6, 2015 10:45 am | Management
A bold claim was made in a recent post by Ted Bauer, a content guy interested in engagement, management, and leadership. He wrote:
Cross-functional teams are almost completely and entirely bullshit.
Bauer's conclusion is based on personal experience, but also on results of a study published in the Harvard Business Review that found 75% of the cross-functional teams studied were dysfunctional. That dysfunction was based on teams failing on at least three of five criteria:
- Meeting a planned budget
- Staying on schedule
- Adhering to specifications
- Meeting customer expectations
- Maintaining alignment with the company's corporate goals
Bauer argues that cross-functional teams die because team members prioritize their day-to-day work higher than an extracurricular assignment. I find it hard to disagree with Bauer, but the first thing that occurred to me as I read his post was a Melcrum study on intranet success.
Granted, this study is ancient in web terms. The 14-year-old survey of more than 500 intranet managers from around the world found that the most successful intranets—those that achieved company-wide goals and got the most funding—were governed cross-functionally. Way back then, nearly 70% of companies had some kind of cross-functional tam in charge of intranet development. Those teams were made up of representatives from departments with a significant stake in the intranet: IT, internal and corporate communications, HR, and marketing.
Bauer's advice is to forego the team and instead "find the most empathetic, sincere, people-first person in a low-level managerial role at your company…and hand the project over to him or her." That would never have worked in the intranet scenario. Intranets pose a challenge in organizations because they serve many masters. Human Resources uses the intranet to provide an interface to information and transactions related to a worker's employment, everything from pay stubs to benefits enrollment; they also want to keep employees informed on HR matters, like benefits enrollment deadlines. Employee Communications uses the intranet to keep employees informed of the company's activities and provide channels for collaboration, interaction, and engagement. IT is often tasked with keeping the whole thing running. Legal needs to ensure that nothing on the intranet sparks a lawsuit. Other departments all have expectations of what the intranet will do for them.
As a result, any one department or manager who makes decisions about the intranet can be seen as stepping on the toes of others. From design changes to navigational structure, everyone wants a say. The best way to do that—as the evidence bore out—was for representatives of all those departments with a stake got together and made decisions as a team in the organization's best interest. That is, when they held their monthly meetings, they left their departmental agendas at the door and functioned as a cohesive body dedicated to the intranet as a tool that served the entire organization.
Here's another example, even more ancient than the Melcrum study. I wrote an article for the Mattel employee newspaper sometime between 1984 and 1986 about a cross-functional team designed to shorten the cycle time and reduce costs associated with developing one particular toy (it was the Land Shark, part of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Line).
The cycle time was based on a linear process. The design group would design the toy, then turn the design over to the engineering group that would figure out how to build it. They would throw it back to the design group when the design couldn't be produced using standard production processes. Once they had gone back and forth a few times, the design would get tossed to costing, who would send it back because the cost of manufacturing would exceed the highest price they could reasonably set for the product. And so it went, back and forth, back and forth.
The cross-functional team brought representatives from all those departments together to take a stab at a different approach: concurrent (rather than linear) development. It worked. The team shaved considerable time from the process and saved a ton of money.
All of which begs the question: What makes some cross-functional teams work and others fail?
The author of the study that found most cross-functional teams are dysfunctional, Behnam Tabrizi, says teams need the following characteristics, including a team leader who remains accountable throughout the project, clear goals, a focus on project success, and ongoing re-evaluation. All that's well and good, but for the two cases outlined above—intranets and concurrent development—there's something else going on: The cross-functional team is the best solution to a genuine problem.
If the cross-functional team's unique ability to solve a problem is recognized by company leadership, then two other things are required:
- A charter—The purpose of the team should be clearly defined leaving no question about the desired outcome
- C-suite support—That charter needs to be owned by the executive team
There are other factors that contribute to any team's success, such as celebrating milestones and recognizing participation. But at the heart of any cross-functional team triumph is a team that the organization actually needed to get something done. The first question to ask, then, when assembling a cross-functional team, is, "Do we really need this team to achieve this goal?"
If the answer is no, don't form the team. If it's yes, though, then give the team the support and resources it needs to behave as an autonomous group brought together to solve a problem. Follow this one rule and the success rate of your cross-functional teams will soar as the total number of such teams plummets.

In a strong show of support for public schools statewide, more than 80 school superintendents came together in Oklahoma City to protest Oklahoma's new A through F grading system designed to hold schools accountable for education.
Read more
At first glance, it could have been any other first-grade class: Teacher Sheri Jehnings held up a book, read a passage, and told her students to illustrate and record a response. But instead of fanning out to desks or grabbing markers and paper, the first-graders pulled out their sleek new iPads, opened Educreations and began tapping out their thoughts on the screen.
Chicago Teachers Union members voted overwhelmingly this week to approve a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year, that was hammered out amid a historic seven-day CTU strike. Now comes the challenge of paying for the deal, which has so far largely played out as a battle between the union and district on school closings.
Worried your kids spend too much time with their faces buried in a computer screen? Their schoolwork may soon depend on it.
Public schools across the country overwhelmingly responded positively to the "Don't Filter Me" campaign to address discriminatory censorship of web content in public schools, the American Civil Liberties Union announced in a report today.
Proposed changes to the way Boston assigns students could force thousands of children already attending schools to move to new ones in two years, stirring unease among parents and prompting officials to quickly seek a remedy.
The Oakland Unified School District and the U.S. Department of Education agreed last week to allow for at least five years of federal monitoring as the district attempts to reduce the disproportionately high black student suspension rate, the Los Angeles Times reports.
A program aimed at lowering the costs of energy and water for New Hanover County Schools appears to be paying off.
New Jersey public school students endured 12,024 instances of bullying, harassment and intimidation last school year, according to a report released Tuesday by the Department of Education that offers the most detailed portrait to date of how and why students are tormented in the classroom.
The schools have gotten their yearly grades, and the annual caterwauling is underway.

Billie takes over Seminoles, points to Sanchez for casino expertise
With new leadership taking over for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, it prompts the question: What does that mean for the everyday casino gambler?
James E. Billie, a charismatic former chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, regained office Monday, in a jovial ceremony that drew a packed house at the Seminole Hollywood Casino Classic tent north of the casino. (It's a ceremonial spot, near the tribe's old oak tree.)
"I got kicked out at 57, now I'm back at 67," told the crowd, which lined up for an hour afterward to shake his and other leaders' hands.
So after that I finally to to ask Billie, "what's it mean for the everyday gambler?"
"My purpose is to make more money for the tribe," he said, while joking that looser slots and a friendlier atmosphere at the casinos matter to him.. "And I think this guy here can help us with that," he said, motioning to Tony Sanchez Jr., who was elected as the tribal council's vice chairman.
Sanchez has been a long-time general manager at the Seminole Casino Immokalee -- in other words, he's a casino guy -- so Billie's point is that he'll lean heavily on Sanchez for casino expertise.
Sanchez, who was born in Clewiston, has been Immokalee GM since 1999. Before that he was Seminole Gaming Commission director for four years and from 1985 to 1988 he was the marketing director of two separate Seminole Tribe of Florida projects to promote and open high stakes bingo operations for the tribes in Washington state and South Dakota.
Sanchez's take: "There'll be some tweaks, but no major overhauls," he said. He points out that running Immokalee -- a remote casino that better have some customer service skills (he said it more eloquently) -- gives him an understanding of the business that many tribal leaders may not have.
"I come from that industry and understand what it takes," he said, and when prompted to talk about how casino employees should feel, he said: "People who work in the Seminoles' casinos should be excited. Sure, there are things we'll do differently, but I don't think they have any big reason to be fearful. Overall, very much the status quo."

HUNTSVILLE, Ala (WHNT) – On Monday, Kids to Love–a charity that caters to foster children in North Alabama and Southern Tennessee–ended up at a critical point. The organization had run out of cash and donated items, but still had at least 90 wish lists from children of all ages that had not been filled.
Unbeknownst to the volunteers at Kids to Love, seven-year-old Ryan Kitchens of Athens heard the pleas for help and decided to 'Take Action and Get Results'.
On Wednesday, Ryan came with his mother and two friends to deliver two carloads of brand new toys to help fill the gap.
Ryan, who's been waging an inspiring battle against terminal brain cancer, came to WHNT Wednesday afternoon to make an emergency delivery of toys.
When WHNT's Reporter Beth Jett asked him how many toys he would guess that he brought in, he solfly said, "..about 50 of them.": That was an understatement.
Ryan filled the WHNT lobby with all kinds of toys and filled Lee Marshall's heart with joy.
"So many people have called us wanting to help you," said Lee to Ryan. "And then you come in and help other kids. You sure do have a big heart."
Since WHNT first aired stories on Ryan's journey with medulloblastoma, his spirit has touched the hearts of people all over Alabama and beyond. He has defied doctors predictions that he wouldn't make it to Christmas because of two brain tumors.
Years ago, Ryan fell in love with Alabama Crimson Tide football and the team's coaches, players and fans fell in love with him, nicknaming him "Lil Bama".
With an abundance of toys Ryan has received from those who love him, his mother says he wanted to give back.
"He's always been a giving kid." said Jasmine Davis, Ryan's mother. "I mean always, even before he got sick".
While Ryan gathered toys for Kids to Love, his supporters gave thousands of dollars to the organization so Lee and her volunteers could grant the specific wishes of foster children in 18 counties–children, like Ryan, who just want to be normal.
"We're able to buy them clothes and shoes and coats, in addition to the toys, just like the wonderful things that Ryan brought us today," said Lee.
It's just the latest big difference Ryan has made with the precious time he's been given.
And Ryan is doing well, feeling strong and happy, despite the tumors. In fact, he's just coming out of a battle with the flu, which he won.
He and his mom are challenging anyone who's been following his story to go to make a donation to "Kids to Love–Christmas for the Children", since Lee and her team are still trying to buy the specific items the foster children included on their wish lists.

Interesting article from James Urquhart at CNET titled Does Cloud Computing Need the LAMP Stack. I think it really highlights the new opportunities for software development opened up by cloud computing. In the article, James does a quick run down of some of the software platforms as a service that have been growing out of cloud computing (VMForce for java from Salesforce and VMWare, Azure for .NET from Microsoft, etc). He finds a notably missing offering for LAMP computing (typically Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP). Then he questions the very need for such a product; afterall, virtualization and cloud computing offer the opportunity to use a variety of services and backends at much lower costs than in the past. Spinning up a new server just is no longer a capital or people intensive activity. Thus new persistence layers can be used where they couldn't before - such as MongoDB or Cassandra. That all said, I still think someone (perhaps Zend as Urquhart speculates) will come out with such a cloud platform - but perhaps MySQL won't always be the only DB in the stack.
More on cloud computing and virtualization from IBM on System X.

Saturdays don't get much better than this:
Twelve catches, 191 yards receiving, both school records, and two touchdowns of over 50 yards. USF sophomore Andre Davis was nearly unstoppable.
"It's a big accomplishment," said the 6-foot-1 receiver. "That's what I was trying to do. Just do it for the team because they deserve it."
Davis helped the Bulls pull off a miraculous comeback against Nevada, capped off by his go-ahead score with under a minute to play. It was a moment quarterback B-J Daniels knew was coming.
"Andre's done it all fall and all spring. All summer we've been working on the deep ball, just trying to be more consistent with the passing game," said the Bulls' senior quarterback. "Saturday he just really had an opportunity to show what he's been working on."
USF is encouraging fans to "dream in green and gold" this year. On Saturday, Davis was a one-man nightmare for Nevada. The former Jefferson high school standout said that's exactly what he expected when he decided to stay in his hometown to play college football.
"It's awesome to be able to be from Tampa and to be at USF, and to be a part of something big in Tampa," said Davis. "It means a lot to me because I can do it for my home town and for my home city."
Davis caught a 51-yard touchdown pass in the first half for USF's first score and added a long 56-yard scoring catch with 38 seconds left in the game that gave the Bulls a 32-31 lead.
His 191 yards against Nevada breaks the longest standing record in Bulls history. Clif Dell (149 yards) set the mark to beat in the Bulls' inaugural game against Kentucky Wesleyan on September 6, 1997.
Davis' previous career high for catches in a game was four. Before Saturday's explosion, his career high for receiving yards in a game was 62. He set that mark last year as a freshman against Syracuse.
The Bulls are back at home Thursday night. They will host Big East rival Rutgers on national TV. The game will air on ESPN. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Raymond James Stadium.

What's life without taking a chance?!
What to know about me? I enjoy the simple things in life! I like going out with friends but I am just as happy to stay in and watch a movie on the couch. I have a passion for traveling and seeing new places. I've had the privilege to live in several other countries, which were all great experiences. I've been known to be pretty spontaneous at times, such as taking off to Europe for an extended weekend or driving down to San Diego just to go to the beach. I'm always willing to try something once. I consider myself a gentlemen and a bit old fashioned. I come from a big family and they are very important to me, even though holidays can be crazy a time, I still love them. My friends would describe me as out going, honest, caring, reliable, loyal and fun. Also, I love sports. Now, that you know a little about me, what about you? I'm looking for someone who is fun and that can make me laugh. A person who challenges me and makes me want to be a better person. That likes getting dressed up to go out but who also likes throwing on sweats and curling up on the couch. I would like to find a woman who likes traveling, going on random adventures, and experiencing new things. Another thing that is a plus is a person who likes sports and who can enjoy going to a game.

I love food and have a soft spot for deserts :) I love traveling, the outdoors, walks, and wine. However, my favorite things are my family and friends.
I enjoy spending time with my family whether it's having dinner or just sitting around playing games and catching up. Other things I like to do for fun are watching movies, going on hikes, and traveling, to name a few.

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
Brewers still unsure about 'dynamic pricing' ticket system
One of the big trends in ticketing for both sports and concert events is the concept of "dynamic pricing."
Dynamic pricing uses computer pricing software that allows a team or concert promoter to adjust the price of a ticket in real time based on ticket purchasing trends and a host of other factors. In sports, those factors could include the weather, team performance, the opponent, even the pitching matchups.
The Milwaukee Brewers tested the system out for three games this past season.
On Friday, after the Brewers announced they planned to increase ticket prices for next season, I asked Rick Schlesinger, the team's chief operating officer, if the team would try dynamic pricing again.
The answer: Not entirely. Schlesinger said the team would try it out again for a few games. But overall, Schlesinger is not convinced the system works in Milwaukee.
"I'm taking the Missouri approach: show me," Schlesinger said. "I need to be shown that it works for us. I'm learning more about it and debating it."
Dynamic pricing has been adopted by a number of professional sports teams, most notably the San Francisco Giants. Many see it as the wave of the future for ticketing.
It's also important to mention that dynamic pricing is different from variable pricing. Variable pricing is when a team charges a different price for a game based largely on the opponent. In the case of the Brewers, that means any game against the Chicago Cubs or the Minnesota Twins. The games against those teams are regarded as marquee games, and the Brewers charge a premium for them.
