Note: I have been asked dozens of times to update the top article on my blog, www.KenKrogue.com, the ranking blog in the world on the industry of inside sales. This is the article that firmly set in place the definition of what is now the fastest growing industry in all of sales and marketing. It is updated slightly with recent developments in the industry. The original has been read 72,667 times. I would appreciate your feedback and comments to these updates. -Ken
The most pragmatic definition of Inside Sales is simple: inside sales is remote sales.
It has been called virtual sales, professional sales done remotely, or one of my recent favorites "sales in the cloud." Where outside sales or traditional field sales is done face-to-face.
Taken in this context, the majority of all sales is done remotely, and the numbers are growing. The most recent Lead Management study found that over the past three years, inside sales grew at a fifteen times higher rate (7.5% versus .5% annually) over outside sales, to the tune of 800,000 new jobs. (Note, another market size study is underway and should be available shortly.)
More evidence: if you don't believe it, grab a list of 10 traditional or "outside sales" people and call them. 6 out of 10 will be sitting in front of their computer, working in their cubicle, office, or home office—just like the inside sales people. They may not answer as fast as inside sales reps would, but leave a message and they will call you back. Outside sales is converging into inside sales, or as my friend Bob Perkins, the CEO and Founder of The American Association of Inside Sales Professionals said, "Inside sales is just… sales."
The term "inside sales" originally came about in the late 1980s as an attempt to differentiate "telemarketing" (or "telesales" in the UK) from the more complex, "high-touch," phone-based business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) selling practices.
Telemarketing is often believed to have begun in the 1950s by DialAmerica Marketing, Inc., reported to be the first company dedicated to telephone sales and services. By the 1970s telemarketing was a common phrase used to describe the process of selling over the telephone. It often included both outbound and inbound, but later became much more synonymous with the types of outbound calling we're all familiar with—large-scale "blasts" to lists of names to try and drum up quick sales, usually while the family is sitting around the dinner table.
By the late 1990s/early 2000s, inside sales was the term used to differentiate the practice from outside sales—the traditional face-to-face sales model where salespeople went to the client's location of business to engage in the sales process.
In 2004, when Dave Elkington and I founded InsideSales.com, we searched the keyword "inside sales" on Google Google and there was nobody else there. However, there were tens of thousands of companies that came up trying to hire inside sales reps. What was a second class department is now the fastest growing segment of sales and lead generation. With the American Association of Inside Sales Professionals (AA-ISP), a viable inside sales industry association in place for five years, inside sales is an industry rapidly maturing.
Companies found the new channel of inside sales to be undeniably effective, but often didn't know what to do to solve the conflict between the younger, disruptive, more technically savvy upstarts who sold over the phone, and their more senior counterparts who wielded incredible political power in their organizations as the entrenched source of revenue for nearly a century.
For years, inside sales has been relegated to generating leads for the more senior outside sales reps or merely closing the smaller accounts. This is now no longer the case. Many companies are already using a hybrid form of inside sales, with reps calling from their company's home office, then traveling occasionally to client locations and merely calling it "sales." Research shows that four years ago, outside sales reps spent 41 percent of their day selling remotely. Two years ago it rose to 46 percent. It is now crossing 50 percent.
By Marc Benioff's own admission in his book Behind the Cloud, salesforce.com "grew their company for the first five or six years with a telesales [or inside sales] model." They added outside sales or field sales to go upmarket when they wanted to sell to Enterprise-class companies, but the company still does a majority of their innovative sales work remotely. We know because we hired Dave Orrico, the Executive Vice President who started the enterprise division of salesforce.com, to join us at InsideSales.com.
True door-to-door field sales is almost extinct, and has of necessity become a hybrid by our definition.
What technology can be credited for creating inside sales?
The phone?
It was Webex and GoToMeeting by Citrix.

Objects to gays in scouting
When a Boy Scout recites the scout oath, he promises to "keep myself … morally straight," and when he raises his right hand and recites the scout law, he pledges to be "clean" and "reverent."
If the Boy Scouts of America decides to allow homosexual leaders, then the Scouts will have to redefine their terms and alter their own principles. Such a move would spell the end of the Scouts, and little would break my heart more because of what scouting has meant to me and my family. There are many reasons why such a change would be anathema.
First, there would be legal ramifications that BSA would be unable to financially sustain because so many Scout troops are sponsored by churches.
Secondly, I don't deny that a homosexual leader can teach a kid to tie a bowline and a clove hitch, cook a meal over an open fire, or shoot a rifle. The larger value of Scouting, though, is that the boys are mentored by their leaders who serve as role models. I certainly want my grandsons' Scout mentors and role models to share my values – values whose foundation, like this country, is the Bible, which calls homosexuality sin.
Further, many of the fine Scout leaders today are single heterosexual young men, former Scouts, who volunteer because they want to give back. Many parents would make wrong assumptions about the motivations of such volunteers and keep their sons out of scouting. It's true that being a homosexual doesn't necessarily equate with being a pedophile, but let me point out that a young man may remain in scouting until the age of 18. Let's hope that those who make this decision remember the Scout benediction: "May the Great Master of all Scouts be with us."

MILLIGAN COLLEGE — Milligan College has concluded a national search for its new vice president for academic affairs and dean with the appointment of Dr. R. Garland Young.
Young had served the role in an interim capacity since January. He came to Milligan in 2010 as the associate vice president for graduate and professional studies, where he provided administrative coordination and recruiting oversight to Milligan's non-traditional programs.
"Dr. Young has done an excellent job in his interim capacity and has demonstrated a deep appreciation for Milligan's mission and a love for our faculty and students," Milligan President Bill Greer said in a news release. "I look forward to his continued contribution as we seek to uphold and extend our mission."
The search committee, under the leadership of Dr. Melinda Collins and composed of faculty and staff as well as a student representative, worked for several months to fine-tune the job description and identify qualifications.
"Their search yielded a number of excellent candidates, three of whom were brought to the campus for interviews," Greer said. "Ultimately, it was clear that we had an excellent candidate already in place."
Before coming to Milligan, Young served as the associate dean and director of adult education at Mt. Aloysius College in Pennsylvania. In his 26-year career in Christian higher education, he previously held a position as director of adult and extended programs at University of the Cumberlands. He has facilitated online learning and helped lead the institutions he has served in the launch of a variety of graduate programs, including business administration, education and counseling. He also has worked with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools on accreditation proposals and has an excellent understanding of academic and administrative work.
Prior to his administrative roles, Young served 17 years as a full-time faculty member in religion and philosophy. He holds a bachelor of arts in religion-Greek from Union University, Jackson, Tenn., and a master of divinity and a Ph.D. in New Testament studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky.

Kuraburi : Pest Control
There is no hiding the fact that creepy crawlers are everywhere in Phuket. It's the tropics and insects thrive.
Mosquitos, ants, cockroaches, termites and rodents are the more popular pests on the exterminators list.
Phuket pest control companies do a great job to keep them under control and many residents and business owners rely on monthly service checks. Phuket boat owners also use their services.
These companies also provide soil treatments, dusting and other control techniques. Consult with the companies listed below for further details and pricing as well as advice if one is a pet owner.

Red ribbons on light posts whipped in the breeze Friday morning as Leoma Doctor stood outside St. Matthews Lutheran Church in downtown Charleston and listened to the steeple bell.
Its Christmastime, but the clapper struck above King Street for a more somber reason.
Around 9:30 a.m., exactly one week after a school shootings in Newtown, Conn., the bell tolled 26 times to memorialize each of the victims.
Doctor couldnt fathom the extent of the massacre that included the deaths of 20 children. But she understands the toll gun violence can take on a family.
Her grandniece was fatally shot just after Christmas last year on Victory Lane in North Charleston. Her sister was seriously wounded in the same domestic dispute, which ended with the suicide of her grandnieces boyfriend.
It was like it was happening all over again, Doctor said of learning about Sandy Hook Elementary. It affected my whole family. It was Christmas when it happened last year too, so I know how those people feel.
Churches nationwide, including several in the Lowcountry, participated in the tribute. Some included an extra sounding to mark the death of shooter Adam Lanzas mother, who was slain in her home.
The moment passed with little fanfare.
Doug Ludlum, a St. Matthews organist for 32 years, bowed his head as he rang the bell from a balcony overlooking the church sanctuary.
I couldnt believe it happened, especially at Christmas, Ludlum said of the Newtown incident.
Thinking (those children) wouldnt be there for their Christmas program, he said, his voice trailing off. God is the answer for them.
Parish administrator Liane Ziel said the church was eager to do its part to commemorate the crimes one-week anniversary.
Like many people worldwide, she said, local churchgoers have struggled to explain the tragedy. It has shaken their sense of safety, she added.
Ziel has a 3-year-old daughter.
I cant imagine what those people went through, she said. Those poor children. Those poor families.
Gun control was an unavoidable topic as passersby and church workers talked about the tragedy.
John Wright of North Charleston, a sexton at St. Matthews, called for tighter laws restricting those who can obtain firearms.
But the main issue, he said, is mental illness. Working at the church, he sees people walk in off the street who dont know whether its today or tomorrow, he said.
We have overlooked that so long, Wright said. There are so many people who look normal, but arent normal.
As the church folks spoke, a group of schoolchildren on a field trip from Ashley Hall walked by.
They strolled to Marion Square, where they climbed onto a stage and started rehearsing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Like a light bulb! they piped.
Like Monopoly! they chimed.
The sights and sounds brought tears to Doctors eyes. Dec. 30 will mark the one-year point since the slaying of her grandniece, 21-year-old Desma Doctor, and the suicide of 24-year-old Kevin Drayton, the father of Desma Doctors children.
Doctor hugged Wright as she wept.
Those kids, theyre always asking if their mama is ever coming back, Doctor said. Everyone is supposed to be having a merry time.

de Buyer Single-Slot Knife Sharpener
- Online Only
- Summary
Developed by de Buyer of France, this innovative manual sharpener can be used for both daily honing and restoring worn knives. With carefully guided angle control, it requires no professional sharpening skills to use; simply swipe any blade down and back through the diamond cams to create a razor-sharp edge.
- Manual knife sharpener offers two stages in one: swipe light and shallow for everyday honing, and hard and deep for edge resharpening, including complete regrinding of old blades.
- Patent-pending diamond-coated solid-steel cams control blade angles for perfectly shaped and fine, slightly convex edge bevels every time.
- Angle control and swiping motion produces professional results and reduces human error.
- Replaces the traditional stone-and-steel sharpening/honing combination with more accurate, faster results.
- More accurate bevels means less "rounding" of the edge, and therefore less resharpening and longer blade life.

Buffett: Congress will eventually pass fiscal planBy JOSH FUNK
The Associated press | November 29,2012OMAHA, Neb. Billionaire Warren Buffett said Wednesday hes confident that Congress will eventually pass a plan to address the so-called fiscal cliff, even if it doesnt happen until early next year.
But the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO says the debate over the package of automatic tax increases and spending cuts thats set to take effect Jan. 1 wont affect any of his investment decisions.
The fiscal cliff has nothing to do with long-term investment decisions, Buffett said on CNBC.
Buffett said he thinks Congress will eventually come up with a fiscal plan that makes sense, even if it doesnt happen until after the tax increases and spending cuts take effect.
I think there will be a lot of pressure if they dont get an agreement by Dec. 31, Buffett said.
Buffett appeared on CNBC Wednesday with Carol Loomis to discuss her new book about his career, Tap Dancing to Work: Warren Buffett on Practically Everything, 1966-2012. The pair have made several media appearances promoting the book this week.
Buffett also made headlines earlier this week by repeating his call for higher taxes on the ultrarich in an opinion article in The New York Times. Buffett said Wednesday that President Barack Obama told him he liked the article when the two spoke on the phone last Saturday, but the two men didnt discuss their difference of opinion over whose taxes should increase.
Buffett has said he supports Obamas proposal to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, but hed like to set the point where taxes increase at $500,000 income, not the $250,000 point Obama has suggested. He also said Congress should impose a minimum tax of 30 percent on income between $1 million and $10 million, and a 35 percent rate for income above that.
Buffett also seemed to suggest that Congress consider raising corporate taxes. He pointed out that three or four decades ago, American businesses used to pay taxes that equated to roughly 4 percent of the nations gross domestic product. He said last year corporate taxes amounted to roughly 1.5 percent of U.S. GDP.
Corporate taxes have not been a problem for corporate America, he said.
Buffett also rejected the idea that his own companys structure as a conglomerate helps it reduce the taxes. He said Berkshire Hathaway and all its subsidiaries pay a normal rate of taxes on profits.
Berkshire Hathaway owns more than 80 companies; including insurance, utility, railroad, furniture, jewelry, manufacturing, restaurant and apparel companies. Berkshires insurance and utility businesses typically account for more than half of his companys net income.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Justin Bieber's Prayer Tattoo Gets Mixed Reaction From Fans (PHOTO)
Justin Bieber has so many tattoos, there's even a website keeping track of them.
Earlier today, Justin shared this Instagram photo of his praying hands tattoo, which he was first spotted with in early 2012, although not in a full close-up like this. After that, he posted two images capturing fans's reactions, from "more and more tatto" [sic] and "I'm a see that in person in Chicago, in June!" to "Why why why" and "nooooo do get no more tattoos." He then shared this photo of his left leg, showing the full hands in prayer tattoo, with roses at the bottom.
Here are a few reactions to that post:
• "It isnt that bad i still love you"
• "how about NO!"
• "Is it bad that I want to marry your leg?"
• "Why? Why? Why? Why?"
Justin already has a tattoo of Jesus on his left leg, and this one looks like it's right below the Jesus ink. That leg is particularly holy!
What do you think of JB's prayer tat?

- Doctoral Thesis (1) (remove)
- Antinociceptive effects of reactive oxygen species scavengers in animal models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain (2011)
- Recent data indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the nociceptive system during persistent pain and contribute to pain sensitization. Aim of this study was to investigate potential antinociceptive effects of ROS scavengers in different animal models of pain. Intrathecal injection of ROS scavengers 1-Oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl -4-hydroxypiperidine (TEMPOL) or Phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) significantly inhibited formalin-induced nociceptive behavior in mice, suggesting that ROS released in the spinal cord are involved in nociceptive processing. Formalin-induced nociceptive behavior was also inhibited by intraperitoneal injection of a combination of vitamin C and vitamin E, but not of vitamin C or vitamin E alone. Moreover, the combination of vitamin C and E dose-dependently attenuated mechanical allodynia in the spared nerve injury (SNI) model of neuropathic pain. The SNI-induced mechanical allodynia was also reduced after intrathecal injection of the combination of vitamin C and E, and western blot analyses revealed that vitamin C and E treatment can ameliorate the activation of p38 MAPK in the spinal cord and in DRGs. These data suggest that a combination of vitamin C and E can inhibit the nociceptive behavior in animal models of pain, and points to a role of the spinal cord as an important area of ROS production during nociceptive processing.

ATLANTA (AP) - Frank Gore ran for a pair of second-half touchdowns and the 49ers rebounded from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 in the NFC championship game Sunday, sending San Francisco to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995.
The top-seeded Falcons (14-4) tried to pull out another season-saving drive at the end, but Matt Ryan's fourth-down pass for Roddy White with 1:13 remaining was knocked down by San Francisco linebacker NaVorro Bowman.
The 49ers (13-4-1) will meet the winner of the AFC title game between New England and Baltimore. San Francisco will be trying to join Pittsburgh as the only teams with six Super Bowl championships.
The victory was sweet redemption for the 49ers, who lost an overtime thriller to the New York Giants a year ago in the NFC title game.

I have a 300 stainless 300WSM coming. origionaly I was going to use it on a 300 savage 0r 308x39 or 7.62x25 rechambering. I got to staring at the case last night and also the reloading books and other stuff an putting it in differant mags and Im convinced that it could be done on a Saiga 308.
The bolt thrust increse would increase as the case head is .551 so im not certain what the 308 sagia can handel and full pressure magnum loads might be out but there was some really interesting starting and medium loads that will out perform the 308 and the 30-06 at sane pressures. you can get a 150 grain going over 3000 fps at under 50,000PSI.
i havent done the math ( cant I dont now how) but Im thinking if one rebated the rim as there is no way in hell im messing with my bolt face, that a damm good round could be made for long range shooting with the high BC 200 grain stuff. Im going to hit one of them damm praire dogs at 1000 yards with a AK variant if it kills me trying. the 270 shoots really flat as well and there are some 6.5 wild cats as well.
also the 280 remington is a doable round on these guns and all the other rounds based on it. the 6.5-280 is really popular and brass is being made.
the 280 brass is already rebated btw and fits the bolt as is I was considering a version(6.5-280) of it on a two lug action with super long barrel and slow powder and 40,000 PSI pressures it would have some velocity gains if loaded light over the 308 family of brass. I might be able to reach high pressure 260 remington speeds this way in a 2 lug build at lower pressures.
If I get this threaded trunion thing figured out for switch barrels I might try doing it to My 308 sagia and screw on a WSM or 6.5x280 barrel.
I have this virgin POS sagia that is useless as is calling my name.
Maybe USdrgonove (spelling) can ask them boys what will a 308 Saiga handel along with the same questions for the two lug stuff.
A 1-8 twist 300 WSM witha 30" heavy barrel would reach out and touch something nad make a big hole in it

10 Spots Guys Really Want You to Touch
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Skin"The largest organ involved in sex is skin," says Gloria Brame, Ph.D. "The arousal process is all about building natural heat through great blood circulation," she explains. "Touching as many parts of your partner's skin as possible will enhance the hotness—literally!—of intimacy by increasing blood flow throughout his body." So start off the action by giving your man a massage, and keep the sexiness going by running your hands up and down his back, arms, and chest during sex.
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Butt"I like it when girls play with the area around my butthole," says Joseph, 32. "Some tender massage with a finger, wet finger, or tongue in that area sends me through the roof, especially during a BJ."
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Neck"We have lots of nerve endings in the neck," says Brame. "On an instinctual level, we are acutely aware of the neck's vulnerability too. That can be very sexy. Plus, for many people, a touch on the neck gives them an instant shiver," she explains. Try experimenting with gentle, breathy kisses.
Place He Wants You to Touch: Inside His Ear"Whispers carry exciting words to the brain, which processes them as direct invitations to sex," says Brame. "Start by whispering some sexy suggestions into his ear," she says. If he immediately moans as a result of the warm, hot air, "a darting tongue will turn him on even more." Of course, some men prefer less intense ear action. We've got a recommendation for them on the next page, so keep reading.
Place He Wants You to Touch: Behind His Ear"Touching behind the ear is a big turn-on, as it hits both the hearing and touch senses," says Adam, 31. A light bite on the top of the earlobe, running your tongue up the length of the edge, or even just deep breathing (behind his ear, not into it) is always guaranteed to make him quiver.
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Tongue"A deep, wet kiss is one of the simplest and most erotic ways to turn on your man," says Sam Von Reiche, Psy.D. Many of us tend to stick to the same tongue motion and rhythm, so mixing it up can be extremely erotic for your guy. Grab the sides of his face and try slowly circling your tongue around his, licking the tip of his tongue with yours, or even pressing the top of your tongue against his.
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Feet"Giving your guy a foot massage is super erotic as well as loving and romantic," says Von Reiche. That dynamic duo of "I love you" and "I want you" attention makes a man feel amazing. Plus, "there are also reflexology points on the heel of the foot that can further heighten his sexual arousal, so be sure to apply some extra pressure there," Von Reiche adds.
Place He Wants You to Touch: The Back of His Head"When we're fooling around, nothing gets me in the mood like when my girlfriend wraps her hands behind my ears and rubs her fingers through the back of my hair," says Dan, 30. "It's a spot I rarely touch."
Place He Wants You to Touch: His Perineum"The perineum is that flat area between his sex organs and anus," says Brame. You've probably heard of it, but what the heck do you actually do there? Try using a finger or two and massage the spot during sex. As he gets closer to ejaculating, the area will swell, and you can deepen the pressure to a firm massage, which often results in an explosive orgasm. But wait, there's more: "Medically, the complete area extends all the way to the upper thighs and groin," says Brame. Try massaging the area during oral sex. "It increases his excitement by stimulating the nerves and increasing blood flow to the entire region."
Place He Wants You to Touch: His LipsKissing isn't the only way to make his mouth happy. According to Von Reiche, "You can tease him by gently licking and biting his lips." A light bite gives him the green light to be a bit rougher with you too and sets the mood for more intense action.
Create Your Own Hot Spot"My girlfriend and I had a few mixed signals about sex in the beginning of our relationship, so we agreed that when one of us does one motion, it's a clear signal that it's time to start fooling around," says Dan, 30. "My 'spot' is my lower back. We kiss all the time, but when my girlfriend puts her hand on my lower back and pulls me closer, I'm conditioned to know I'm about to get lucky and automatically get turned on," he says.

Vatican watchers looking for the "Pope Francis effect"Written by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | email@example.com
Vatican watchers looking for the "Pope Francis effect" in church reforms did not see it in Toledo Bishop Leonard Blair's appointment as archbishop of Hartford, CT, announced Tuesday (Oct. 29).
Bob Mickens, a Toledo native and journalist who has been covering the Vatican for 27 years, said in an interview from Rome that while Francis has spoken out against "careerist" bishops who aspire to larger dioceses, Blair's promotion is "just more of the same. It's clear that the same old 'old-boys network' is at work."
Advocates for clerical sexual abuse victims also questioned Francis' decision.
"It's heartbreaking to see a pope who many consider 'groundbreaking' continue the long, painful Vatican practice of promoting complicit and compromised bishops," said David Clohessy, executive director of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests).
Claudia Vercellotti of Toledo SNAP said she sees "no congruency between the vision that Pope Francis puts forward and his actions here in Toledo, Ohio. Either Pope Francis is asleep at the wheel and has no idea who he's promoted, or he is ambivalent. Either way, it's dangerous."
In contrast, Vatican correspondent Rocco Palma sees Blair as a good fit for Hartford because the Connecticut archdiocese needs a leader with keen managerial skills.
Palma, who writes the "Whispers in the Loggia" blog, said the 700,000-member Hartford archdiocese is beset with "an aging infrastructure and shifting demographics" that "will require no shortage of tough calls over the tenure to come."
He said Blair, 64, honed his managerial abilities while serving as secretary to the now-retired Cardinal Edmund Szoka when the cardinal headed the Vatican's economic affairs department and was governor of Vatican City.
Among the financial moves Blair made after coming to Toledo in December, 2003, was the closing of 17 parishes and the merging of 16 others in 2005 and the layoff of 11 full-time staff members in 2004 due to a budget shortfall.
He also pulled $117 million in diocese investments out of local brokerages in 2004 and moved the money to Detroit, saying it would yield a better return.
Also in 2004, the diocese paid $1.9 million to settle lawsuits with 23 people who said they were abused as children by priests, deacons or other church personnel.
Blair is widely regarded for his expertise on doctrine and dogma, as evidenced in his 2009 Vatican assignment to assess the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, a group that represents 80 percent of America's 57,000 Catholic nuns.
He is also a member of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' committee on doctrine. Among that panel's efforts was a 2009 investigation of Reiki, a holistic therapy involving the massaging of "life energy." After the panel found Reiki "inconsistent with Christian teaching," Blair barred its practice in the diocese — without consulting practitioners, including many nuns who had practiced it for decades.
The new pope, meanwhile, is urging priests and bishops to emphasize their pastoral roles over the enforcement of doctrine.
"It's not clear to me if Francis has been able to get a handle on the appointment of bishops yet," Mickens said. "Certainly the people in the Congregation for Bishops who are presenting the appointments and suggesting who will be appointed are not following the indications of who the pope would pick."
He said Blair is "a careerist, no doubt, and he's made a lot of friends in Rome over the years, especially while he was here studying and working."
Mickens believes Blair's promotion is linked to his role in the Vatican-ordered LCWR assessment.
"Many times those who take on these sort of 'hatchet jobs' for the Holy See are rewarded with promotions," Mickens said.
Vercellotti, while acknowledging Blair walked into a "mess" when he arrived in Toledo, faulted his handling of numerous controversies, including treatment of abuse victims and parishioners whose churches were shuttered. She pointed out that prosecutors had to use search warrants to obtain church files on Toledo priest Gerald Robinson, who was convicted in 2006 of murdering a nun, and that Blair should have pushed to have Robinson defrocked.
"If you want to get out of the hole that was dug, you put the shovel down and stop digging. Instead, Bishop Blair picked up the shovel and dug double-time," Vercellotti said. "He had an opportunity to end the suffering of so many who have been devastated by the ongoing clergy sexual abuse scandal, but he just dug the hole deeper."
Blair will be installed as archbishop of Hartford on Dec. 16. Until a successor is named in Toledo, an administrator will be appointed to oversee the diocese.
David Yonke is the editor and community manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website that provides in-depth, nonsectarian news coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in the Toledo area.

BRICK CAPITAL CLASSIC: Teams converge in Sanford for marching band contest
Breaking from their typical post on the sidelines — cheering their respective football teams to glory — hundreds of high school musicians will be the main attraction Saturday.
The 34th Brick Capital Classic is scheduled from 1 to 8 p.m. at Lee County High School, located at 1708 Nash St. Admission is $5, with free admission for children under the age of 5.
The annual band competition is set to bring in 18 bands from across North Carolina and Virginia, and will include a musical exhibition by the Lee County High School's Marching Yellow Jackets, according to Lee County High School Band Booster President Tracy Melby.
"We host it every year, and it's a great chance to get the bands together," she said. "And it's one of our biggest fundraisers to support the marching band."
Each band will perform their season show and be judged based on music, general effect, marching and visual ensemble, among other criteria, Melby said. The funds generated from the march are used to purchase new uniforms, pay for competition fees and cover instrument repairs, she said.
On average, there are 5,000 attendees — including more than 1,500 participating students. There are five different classes, based on size of the school, and each of the top three bands in each class will receive a trophy.
"I hope the students realize marching band is a great experience that can broaden their artistic abilities," Melby said. "As for the competition, I hope they will congratulate each other."
Organizing the season's show is extremely time consuming and difficult, she said, adding that she hoped spectators will appreciate the students' hard work.
"I hope they have pride in their community, and that it continues to show throughout the year," Melby said.
