In the earliest handicapping of the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination contest, one of the most repeated arguments against Barack Obama's chances of winning was that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the then-front-runner for the Democratic nomination, had hired so many experienced operatives that Obama, new at that level of play, would find himself outgunned in the fight. Looking back, political pros, even the most-partisan Republicans, concede that Obama put together the most sophisticated, brilliant, focused, and disciplined Democratic presidential campaign in history, one worthy of comparison to the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, the gold standard on the GOP side.
A third of the way into his first year as president, Obama has established a White House operation as impressive as any before; in fact, you can't throw a rock in a West Wing hallway without hitting someone who would otherwise be among the most experienced people in any previous White House. In some ways, Obama has discovered that effective governing requires a blend of the strongest elements of his campaign with the seasoning, experience, and awareness of the pitfalls that hurt previous presidencies.
A fabulous June 7 piece by Matt Bai in The New York Times Magazine argued that Obama, after running as an outsider, has "quietly but methodically assembled the most Congress-centric administration in modern history."
Whether one agrees with the Obama White House ideologically or substantively, one would be hard-pressed to cite an administration better connected with the personalities and dynamics of Capitol Hill. As we wake up to find the most significant change to health care policy since Medicare and the most important energy bill ever moving through Congress, this exhaustive list of experienced staff members with close relationships with the most important and centrally located Democrats on Capitol Hill explains how it is happening. A common thread through conversations with staffers is that they are so mindful of mistakes made by past administrations, particularly the Clinton administration, that they are determined not to repeat them.
The fact that Obama ran as an outsider and effectively had only two years of Senate experience before diving into the presidential campaign is ironic given the team he has created, whether on the White House staff as Bai detailed, or in the Cabinet. Even more ironic is that despite his National Journal rating as the most liberal member of the Senate in 2007, Obama's Cabinet is not one that the Democratic Left would have assembled. I doubt if MoveOn.org, CodePink, or others on the Democratic Left recommended former Marine Commandant James Jones for national security adviser or that Robert Gates be kept on as Defense secretary. It's also hard to imagine the Left recommending Dennis Blair, former commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, as director of national intelligence. These are not the choices expected of a doctrinaire liberal or an outsider.
On the economic side, if one defines the Democratic Party's economic spectrum as starting with former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich, Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, and the AFL-CIO on the left, and former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin on the right (or more accurately, the center), the vast majority of the key economic picks looks like a reunion of Rubin proteges and fans, whether it is Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers, or Jason Furman, his deputy. To be sure, there are others to their left, notably Council of Economic Advisers Chairwoman Christina Romer and council member Austan Goolsbee, a former University of Chicago faculty member with Obama. But clearly the most economically centrist wing of the Democratic Party is better represented in this administration than Obama's brief Senate voting record would suggest.
Perhaps the best quote in Bai's piece came from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who apparently is fond of telling other staff members, "The only nonnegotiable principle here is success. Everything else is negotiable." Combine that hard-nose pragmatism with a White House staff filled with congressional experience and it's not surprising that Obama is shaking Washington up as much and as quickly as any president since Franklin Roosevelt hit town in 1933.
Obama and his team certainly won't get everything they seek on health care, cap-and-trade legislation, and other priorities, but it's a good bet that they are not likely to come up empty-handed either.

Q. What is Wyoming's State Bird?
A. Wyoming's state bird is the meadowlark (Sturnella Neglecta). The meadowlark is also the state bird of Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota and Oregon. The Legislature named the meadowlark our state bird in 1927. These birds have a flute-like song which are warbled. A meadowlark has a yellow breast with a distinct black-V.
Q. Where can I find a place to do target shooting?
A. There are numerous shooting ranges scattered throughout the state. Some ranges are private and to shoot you must be a member or guest of a member. However, there are also many public places to shoot. Local sporting goods dealers or Game and Fish offices may be able to advise of nearby ranges or shooting areas. If shooting on public lands, make sure adequate precautions are taken with regard to a safe backstop and that the shooting takes place in areas away from picnic areas and campgrounds. Also, check with the land management agency - some areas may be closed to shooting during certain times of the year. For example, the Pole Mountain section of Medicine Bow National Forest between Cheyenne and Laramie is closed to shooting from March 31 through September 10 each year.
Q. What do you do with the money you collect from poachers?
A. By Wyoming law, all money from fines goes to the school district in the county where the violation took place. If the judge orders restitution be paid for illegally taking an animal, that money goes to the Game and Fish Department for law enforcement activities.
Q. Can I keep a wild animal as a pet?
A. It depends. Live big or trophy game animals may not be possessed and other species are also regulated. This is in order to protect native wildlife from disease, eliminate competition from the introduction of exotic species, to reduce the possibility of commercial over-harvest, ensure the humane treatment of wildlife held in captivity, and to prevent unwanted hybridization between native and exotic wildlife species. Please refer to Chapter 10 Commission regulation, which governs possession and importation of live wildlife. Guide to possessing wildlife.
Q. Are there any restrictions for mountain biking in national forests in Wyoming?
A. In general, you may ride your mountain bike in any of the public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management with the exception of the portions of forest which are federally designated wilderness areas. In wilderness areas, mechanized transportation is prohibited. Travel in wilderness areas is restricted to foot or horseback.
Q. Are roads bordering irrigation canals public?
A. Almost always, no. In all but very few instances across the state, irrigation canal roads are either owned by the irrigation district or a private landowner. So to use the road, whether it is posted private or not, permission must be obtained.

I left NC for air travel to Utah and Michigan earlier this week. Both states accept my NC CHP.
Checked in at the airlines desk in NC and discreetly told them I had an unloaded weapon in my checked luggage. Sadly, some nosy middle-schooler standing in line with his mommy kept his googly eyes on the process the minute he saw me whispering to the clerk. The airline clerk was nonchalant, but did ask me to open my COM safe. The kid's eyes about popped out of his head as he tried to espy my rig. :rolleyes:
I opened the safe, completed the orange card, placed it back in the safe, and relocked it. I was directed to a "special" luggage screening area I had used once before with a set of golf clubs. The two bored TSA goobers jumped up, made me stand behind a line, and got all antsy when I said I had an unloaded weapon in my bag. The male goober asked for the key to my COM safe. I had to stand several paces back and winced as he tried to force the key in the lock the wrong way. I told him there was nothing to be nervous about and explained the key would work just fine if he took a moment to put it in the right way.
While he performed a clueless fondle of Mr Kimber, the female goober was busy rifling my bag, tossing my suit and shirts about and generally making a mess of things. She then started to swab down every part of my bag and the COM safe with separate fabric swatches to analyze for residue. She comletely overlooked the full box of Speer GoldDots and my knife in a very visible mesh compartment. I know I was legal, but it's funny how she was studiously ogling my shaving cream while missing knives and bullets.
They finally stuffed everything back in, I handed them the TSA lock for the outside closure, and went to the gate.
Got to Utah just fine. Rearmed in my rental car that was in a quiet place in the garage. Drove a long way to my hotel and went down to eat, still armed. Everything was fine. Got up for breakfast, put on my SuperTuck, Mr Kimber, and just pulled a black t-shirt over it all for the serve-yourself breakfast bar.
I have meetings today, then another long drive and another hotel stay. So far so good. I will be in Michigan (another state that recogizes my CHP) this weekend.
I am new to this, and I just wanted to share with other n00bs here so you can know what to expect. Updates will come after the multi-state trip concludes next week.
BTW, Mrs Mac (another new NC CHP holder) has been giving me ominous warnings for over a week since she learned I was going to travel with my rig. I hope to heaven I can say, "I told you so..."

Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
Never Alone
Monday was that kind of day. At some point in the morning I called Aaron, who is out of town on business, AGAIN after being home just 6 short days, and surprised myself by weeping into the phone as I told him we were going to have to carry a balance on the credit card this month, for the first time in 2 years or more, because I just couldn't make it work out, this income we have, plus the expenses we have.
I haven't really bought groceries all month, living on pantry staples from times of surplus when I stocked up. We have a 50 pound bag of rice in the pantry after all. We may get bored, but we won't starve. But it's draining, and wearying, this constant need to make do. I lost a filling 3 months ago. I probably need a root canal by now, but still can't afford a dentist.
Add to that a hormone cocktail and the grind of trying to do something new in a 3rd world country where corruption is commonplace and sifting through lies that we had to do this past month and I just spent a lot of time weeping.
By the time Sara came over at our regular scheduled time to do more year end accounting for Charis I was really struggling: struggling to keep my voice calm with the children who just would. not. finish. their chores, struggling to focus on work that needed doing, struggling to not just sigh endlessly while wiping away tears.
So she called her mom, who is a massage therapist and asked if she could fit me in that day. When I came out of the bathroom she met me with my keys and purse in hand and told me to go and not come back until late. She literally shooed me out the door.
When I came home several hours later, after a wonderful massage, and time spent doing another thing I had wanted to do for a while, my kids were bathed and in bed, my house was so clean it sparkled, and I was no longer in default despair mode.
Sometimes we struggle through things and the struggle makes us stronger. Other times God sends us absolutely fantastic friends who turn everything around for us with the gift of kindness.
Yesterday an old, old friend, whom we haven't seen for many years, sent us a substantial gift through paypal. Just to help out and encourage us. Their timing couldn't have been more perfect.
I feel so unworthy of such generous friends. All I can do is tell this story of how the people in my life have blessed me. I need to do it so I remember that I'm never really alone, no matter how much it feels like I am sometimes.
Have you ever felt a nudge to do something kind for someone, just because. I hope you acted on it. I have a feeling those nudges are orchestrated by one who knows our need, and knows just how much it is a blessing to be able to fill those needs for each other. These faithful friends made all the difference for me this week and now I'm overwhelmed in a different way, by my inability to figure out how to say thank-you in proportion to what their kindness means to me. I hope it's enough to just feel it so deeply, and hold it close, wrapped tight in the warmth.

yeah, i lose perspective a lot too... and easily get overwhelmed... and i don't do as much as you do by any means. i'm so glad you have such good, kind friends that listen to the urge to do something generous. it's really good to be reminded to do so myself. i pray blessing and wisdom and grace for you. with love that transcends actually knowing you in person, jessicaReplyDelete
Thank-you :) I totally appreciate those prayers.ReplyDelete
Yes it is :) I like how you put that. unrelenting indeed.ReplyDelete
I hope you can get your teeth checked so that it won't worsen.ReplyDelete

While it is true that men mature at a faster rate in college swimming, you can compare relative times. Liz's 100 and 200 Breast times place her in the top heats at NCAA I, while Scott's 100 and 200 Back times place him 68th, and 65th, well out of scoring position for his college team. There was a reason Liz was the number one recruit in the nation, not just the best St Louis Athlete! We applaud Scott's achievements, and wish him much success in college.
Best High School Athlete St. Louis 2007 - Liz Smith
Parkway South High School lost its big fish this past spring: Standout swimmer Liz Smith is now lapping her peers out in Palo Alto, California, at Stanford University, competing on the top-ranked team in NCAA Division I swimming. Smith, who specializes in breaststroke and individual medley, was swimmer-of-the-meet at the 2007 Missouri State High School Activities Association finals and broke two state records (one of which was her own). She also anchored two winning relays (in freestyle) and helped her team finish third overall. All this after taking her junior year off from high school competition in order to focus on national races. Which brings us to her present focus: Smith will soon suit up for the most important meet of her life: the 2008 Olympic Trials. Young women athletes all over the metro area will be glued to the television for that one. Here's to seeing St. Louis in Beijing!

Woman Given Lifetime Pass to Barton Springs Pool
Austin City Council granted a rare privilege today to an 82-year-old Austin woman: a lifetime pass to Barton Springs Pool.
Patty Curtis started swimming at the pool in 1975 when she was 46-years-old.
It's actually a city practice to grant lifetime swimming privileges at Barton Springs for people who are over 80 and regularly use the facility. The honor has only been bestowed on about thirty people in the last 42 years, according to the city.
Senior citizens normally have to pay $32 for a 40-swim pass that can be used as frequently or infrequently as they like.

Paul Treu, the Springbok Sevens coach who accompanied the team to neighbouring Zimbabwe, used the tournament mainly to test the readiness of several Blitzbokke who recently returned from injury.
Treu declared himself happy with the performances of players such as Steven Hunt, Bernado Botha and Jamba Ulengo, while he was also pleased with the showings of youngsters WJ Strydom, Brandon Asherwood and Werner Kok.
The South Africans got the better of hosts Zimbabwe by 12-5 in the semi-finals before turning on the style to beat SA-based the Leopards 42-0 in the Cup final at the Harare Sports Club. The Zimbabwean Cheetahs lifted the Plate after edging Kenya 7-0.
Apart from the hosts and the SA EPD squad, several other international teams such as Georgia, Hong Kong, Kenya and Zambia played in the annual two day-tournament as final preparation for the demanding Hong Kong leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series.
It was an all-SA final as the SA development squad took on the Leopards, who had earlier beaten a reshuffled Kenya 10-7 in the other Cup semi-final, and the tournament win left Treu a reasonably happy man.
"We are pleased with the performances of the whole squad. Several players needed game time because of injuries or time away from action, so this exercise was much needed," explained Treu.
The South Africans did however suffer a casualty. Forward Pieter Engelbrecht received a blow to the head and will undergo a scan late on Monday afternoon in Cape Town, shortly after the squad's arrival back in the Mother City.
SARU will announce the 12-man Springbok Sevens squad for Hong Kong and Tokyo on Thursday at a press conference starting at 14h00 at the UWC Sports Stadium in Bellville.
The full results of the Spar International Sevens in Harare:
Day 1
Pool A: Cheetahs 40, Zambia 0; Georgia 14, Zambia 7; Cheetahs 27, Georgia 7.
Pool B: Kenya 14, Hong Kong 12; Kenya 26, Zambezi Warriors 7; Hong Kong 26 Zambezi Warriors 14.
Pool C: SA EPD 45, Blue Bulls Academy 0; SA EPD 26, Leopards 21; Leopards 27, Blue Bulls Academy 0.
Pool D: Goshawks 21, SA Buffaloes 17; SA Buffaloes 19, Pumas 12; Pumas 17, Goshawks 14.
Day 2
Quarter-finals: Cheetahs 35, Hong Kong 7; SA EPD 33, Goshawks 7; Shujaah 31, Georgia 5; Leopards 3, Buffaloes 0.
Cup semi-finals: Cheetahs 5, SA EPD 12; Kenya 7, Leopards 10
Bowl final: Goshawks 19, Buffaloes 12
Shield final: Hong Kong 21, Georgia 19
Plate final: Cheetahs 7, Kenya 0
Cup final: SA EPD 42, Leopards 0

How rare is Lupus?
sara akhtar
I've just been noticing how you are from all corners of the earth - is that due to the rarity of Lupus? Great that you have all found each other here.
I dont know how rare lupus is. I do agree that this meeting place is great. I have been on here so much lately that I had forgotten that it could be considered rare. My friend tells me that I have started diagnosing everyone with a problem with lupus in order to cope with the fact that I have it she may be right. I have started to feel like the people here are my neighbors so I guess I havent thought about how few people get diagnosed with it. Sounds like I need to get back to reality soon. hehehe
Good question,
According to the Lupus Foundation of America, approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with Lupus. They believe around 16,000 new cases are reported here each year.
Those numbers do not include those who are either undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed. Nor do they include other regions or countries. This is only my opinion, but I believe the number of people worldwide who have the disease is grossly underestimated and under-reported.
If you look at the nationalities of our members here, Sara is right about the fact that we come from all corners of the world. I'm from New England in the USA, others are from California, Texas and most every state in between. Internationally we have people from Canada, Jamaica, South Africa, the U.K. and many, many other countries and regions.
In the bigger picture, I don't believe that Lupus is rare at all. But, it's not a disease most people know about. Even a significant number of people in the healthcare industry are for the most part, unaware of the disease and it's symptoms beyond the basics. So, sadly, I think Lupus is not rare at all. Hopefully one day people's awareness can be such that this disease can recieve the attention it needs in order to have more research conducted, and maybe someday, a cure can be found. I wish Lupus really was rare, maybe someday it will be.
I agree with rob,
I think it's far more common then one would think. I never heard of lupus untill the 1980's and then it was just whispered about and misunderstood. I certainly didn't know anyone with lupus! Cept my mother and my sister and at the time we didn't know that's what they had. It would many years later before THAT came out.
I think back to all the people who were labeled as whiners and complainers or just plain lazy. It breaks my heart to think they suffered alone and unbelieved.
It burns me when I hear medical professionals complain about the little old ladies that come with their lists of complaints "just because they are lonely"
I'm sure "some" of that does happen....but I bet most of it is quite real and they do not take it seriously.

Duke's Connette doesn't plan to play it safe
Now that Anthony Boone's injury has thrust Brandon Connette into Duke's starting quarterback job, concern abounds that Connette's physical running style must be curbed to protect him.
Well, Connette's just not wired that way.
Having happily started his organized football career as an offensive lineman, the 6-2, 225-pounder will be reluctant to avoid contact even as he's expected to handle the majority of quarterback snaps for the next few weeks for Duke.
"There is a certain mindset I go on the field with, and that's a physical mindset," Connette said Monday.
Connette is no stranger to the playing field or ACC defensive coordinators. In an all-purpose role known as "phantom" a year ago, Connette rushed for eight touchdowns while also throwing for three other scores.
Injuries on Duke's quarterback depth chart this year have altered his role.
When redshirt freshman Thomas Sirk ruptured his Achilles' tendon in February, Connette became the No. 2 quarterback behind Boone.
On Saturday, Boone fractured his right collarbone in the second quarter at Memphis. Connette entered the game, threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes and the Blue Devils won 28-14.
With Boone out indefinitely, Connette's job is to keep Duke (2-0) rolling toward the program's first back-to-back seasons with a bowl trips.
"We'll miss Anthony — no ifs, ands or buts about it," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "But I have confidence in Brandon, and I think their teammates would echo that sentiment."
Connette got that message loud and clear in the locker room at halftime in Memphis after Cutcliffe told the team that Boone would not be playing in the second half.
"The offensive line, the receivers, they all have confidence to me," Connette said. "They said, 'We've got this. There is no need to worry. We are going to put up points.' I was more vocal at halftime encouraging our team, and they were giving it right back. Actually, I loved the atmosphere at halftime."
A big reason is that since 2010, Connette has received plenty of playing time for the Blue Devils. Playing behind starting quarterback Sean Renfree, Connette became Duke's short-yardage, third-down and goal-line option. He has rushed for 18 career touchdowns and has played in 28 games.
"I've always had a comfort level out there on the field," Connette said. "It gave (my teammates) a comfort level with me. I've been on the field taking hits and putting the ball in end zone. They have confidence (that) I know what I'm doing on the field. They know I'm not going to be out there screwing things up."
There is an underlying fear, though, that Connette's physical style could make him more susceptible to injury. That would force freshman Parker Boehme, who has only been a Duke student since January, into game action.
But Cutcliffe said he doesn't want Connette playing with fear. While he's told Connette to perhaps step out of bounds if he already has gained enough yards for a first down, he also wants him to play instinctively.
That's not a problem for Connette.
"If the ball is in the middle of the field," Connette said, "I don't think there's a way I'm sliding."
In fact, Connette said he can't remember ever sliding on a football field.
But after all that playing time, he does know how to run Duke's offense. With Boone out, that's what matters most to the Blue Devils.

May 3, 2008
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - On a perfect day for track and field the University of New Mexico gave its fans plenty to cheer about at its lone home meet of 2008, the 18th Don Kirby Memorial Invitational. The Lobos won 10 events and the women's team clinched the Rio Grande Rivalry title for UNM with a 204-143 victory over New Mexico State. New Mexico won the 2007-08 Rio Grande Rivalry by a cumulative score of 16.25-6.75.
Senior Ariel Burr left a lasting impression in the final outdoor home meet of her great career. Burr teamed with Sandy Fortner, Alesha Walker and fellow senior Kristan Matison to record an NCAA regional qualifying time of 45.70* en route to an easy victory in the first running event of the day. Running their first relay race of the year, the group became the first New Mexico foursome to advance to the regional meet in the event.
Burr came back to run a sizzling 200 later in the afternoon, out-kicking South Plains College All-American Stephanie Simpson to win the event with an altitude-adjusted time of 23.74. The Carrizozo, N.M. product missed her career-best in the event - which she recorded at the 2007 Don Kirby Invitational - by one-hundredth of a second as she added the 200 to her regional qualification resume. Burr finished her career undefeated in four outdoor home meets.
Fortner, meanwhile, punched her first ticket the NCAA Midwest Region Championships with a second place leap of 19' 9" (6.02m) in the long jump. Already one of the nation's top heptathletes, was over five inches beyond her previous career-best in the event.
Walker won the event with a mark of 20' 5" (6.22m) as the Lobos swept the first four places. Sophomore Deanna Young was third with a jump of 19' 3/4" (5.81m), while freshman Asal Salehpoor finished fourth with a season-best leap of 18' 11 1/4" (5.77m).
Young came back to win the triple jump with a career-best leap of 42' 10 3/4" (13.07m). The Albuquerque Highland product improved over five inches on her previous best, which was ranked third in the Mountain West Conference and 31st in the nation entering the meet. Junior teammate Hagit Salamon was third with a season-best mark of 39' 10" (12.14m) in her third competition of the spring.
It wasn't all women's highlights, however. Senior Robert Caldwell matched his career-high, recorded two weeks ago at TCU, with a clearance of 17' 6 1/2" (5.35m) in the pole vault. Caldwell was the top collegiate finisher (T-2nd overall) in an elite field of vaulters.
Former teammate and current UNM volunteer coach Derek Mackel (Albuquerque Sandia) secured his place at the U.S. Olympic Trials later this summer with a winning mark of 18' 1/2" (5.50m). Mackel matched his best mark as a Lobo, which he recorded en route to winning the NCAA Midwest Region title as a senior in 2006. The pair were two of five men to clear 16' 6 3/4" (5.05m) in the event. Two-time Olympian Dominic Johnson (Saint Lucia) tied Caldwell for second, while former Arizona standout Kevin Opalka and former Air Force All-American Paul Gensic were fourth and fifth, respectively, with jumps of 16' 6 3/4".
The New Mexico men and received solid performances from throwers Matthew Henry-Marshall and Anthony Fairbanks. Henry-Marshall won the discus with a career-best mark of 160' 7" (48.95m), while Fairbanks was second in the javelin with a throw of 211' 8" (64.52m). UTEP standout Alex van de Merwe handed Fairbanks his first home loss with a winning mark of 227' 2" (69.25m).
In the marquee sprint event of the day, South Plain freshman Renny Quow won the men's 200 title with an altitude-adjusted time of 20.74. Quow, the 2006 World Junior 400 champion, defeated a field that included two-time U.S. Indoor 400 champion James Davis, former USA 4x100 team member and current Lobo assistant coach Leo Settle, and former UTEP All-American Taiwo Ajibade.
South Plains' Fred Samoei turned in perhaps the best performance of the meet as he smashed the 20-year-old stadium record in the 800 by more than a second with a time of 1:47.08. Samoei's altitude-adjusted time was a sensational 1:46.42 - nearly two seconds ahead of UTEP All-American and 2007 NCAA outdoor runner-up Elias Koech.
UTEP's Nina Schvedoff opened the meet with a stadium record in the women's hammer throw, recording a mark of 193' 11" (59.12m).
There were plenty of other Lobo highlights from Saturday, including:
Junior Sheyenne Lewis notching her first collegiate victory with an altitude-adjusted time of 17:46.89 in the women's 5,000...Lewis finished 18 seconds ahead of the runner-up, sophomore teammate Vanessa Ortiz (18:04.63*).
The women's 4x400 relay team of Christina Zarrella, Ariel Burr, Kim Perkins and Sandy Fortner clocking a time of 3:48.08* - just 0.2 second out of first place - in their season-debut.
Junior Whitney Johnson winning the women's pole vault with a season-best mark of 12' 1 1/2" (3.70m)...Johnson also won in her last official home appearance in 2006 when she cleared a school record height of 13' 1/4"...she redshirted all of 2007 after undergoing major knee surgery in the summer of '06.
Junior Katie Coronado finishing second in the javelin with a throw of 155' 5" (47.38m)...former UTEP All-American Erma Gene Evans handed Coronado her first loss of the year, but the Ruidoso, N.M. product has yet to be defeated by a collegiate competitor in six meets this year.
Freshman Chris Keeling clocking season-bests in both the 100 and 200...Keeling was fourth in the 100 with an altitude adjusted time of 10.87 and was ninth in the 200 with a time of 22.04*.
Redshirt freshman Ryan Steadman and sophomore Brian Vallie finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, in the fastest 800 ever run at the G.F.O. UNM Track Stadium...Steadman clocked an altitude adjusted time of 1:52.59*, while Vallie recorded a season-best 1:53.91*.
Rookie Matt Everett winning the 1,500 (4:11.34*) and fellow freshman Brian Wilson taking the 110m (15.34*) in their home debuts.
The men's 4x100 relay team of Chris Keeling, Philip Reid, Kurt Henry and Brian Wilson clocking a winning time of 42.16 in their first race as a foursome.

Here's a thought: If you could have your television remote control or DVR box share your activity with your friends via something like Facebook Connect would you enable that functionality? We seem to have no problem sharing what we're doing online, with some offline activity bleeding into that as well as we publish online what we're doing in the real world. But there it's mostly selective sharing – I'm not going to tell everyone that I just spent 10 minutes petting the cat because, well, I don't choose to. So would people make different choices on what to watch if they knew that if they stayed on a channel for more than 5 minutes the fact they were watching that program would be broadcast everywhere? Just something that has me thinking today.

Mulling on lifestreams
I keep playing around with the idea of "life-streaming" but have never quite embraced it the way some people, especially Steve Rubel, have. The closest I come is my FriendFeed profile, which aggregates MMM, CT.WP, Twitter, Delicious, Google Reader and a bunch of my other profiles and accounts, some of which I don't use all that regularly. That, to my mind, is what a lifestream should be – a single touch-point for all those disparate profiles and outlets where people can go to find everything I do online.
But Steve's now thinking differently, with a post about how his lifestream is turning more from that model to one that has him posting in one place, with that then being distributed to all those outlets.
Looking at the graphic he uses, the Posterous model increasingly looks backwards to me. Yeah, that's exactly what Posterous does – easy posting to its platform with it then auto-posting to those other profiles. This isn't a lifestream, it's more like lifedistribution. As an example: All of Steve's Posterous posts are pushed to Twitter, but not all of his Twitter updates are shared on Posterous. Lifestreaming, I think, should aggregate and not distribute since a distribution model means I still have to connect with you on multiple platforms whereas an aggregation model means I get a one-stop-shop.
I get what he's saying about signal-to-noise ratios, but there are ways to manage that. Cut your RSS feeds, create a "Priorities" column in Tweetdeck, come to the conclusion (as I have) that hanging out on Facebook all day adds nothing of value. The only reason that ratio is lower for him right now is that Posterous has yet to truly explode into the mainstream, despite a number of high-profile people who have adopted it quite fully. Give it a couple of Newsweek stories and that will change.
I'm not ragging on Steve – it's working for him and that's great, even if I see some problems with it. We all do what works for us and what makes sense in our own minds, just like we all like music that makes sense to and speaks to us. I just don't quite agree with him on what the real promise of it is or on what the real value of Posterous really is.
Mack Collier writes thusly in his post about finding the return on investment with corporate social media efforts:
Some people will argue that if you mention the ROI of social media, that you have to speak in terms of dollars in, and dollars out. I'm not going to argue that point, but based on what I'm hearing from BIG companies that are having success with social media, they are getting C-suite buy-in and continued support from their efforts because they are creating something that the c-suite sees the value of for their companies.
That's a great shift that we're seeing, especially in the PR field, where ROI is often something that's difficult to grasp since, as I stated yesterday, the metrics used in PR aren't always as cut-and-dried and easy to understand as those used in advertising, which PR people are always in conflict with in terms of getting budget and approval.
But as others Mack has interviewed state, not needing to see a direct ROI in sales and such doesn't mean there aren't metrics to use to determine success. Buy-in is much easier to get when you can say to C-level execs "Here's where we are and here's where we hope to be with the help of this program." At the end of the day a needle – whatever it is – needs to be moved. What that needle is, though, is something that needs to be agreed upon by all stakeholders in the planning phases, which is where the "value" you're hoping those C-level folks will see is decided upon so that all involved know where the goal line is and how it's going to be reached.

Beverly Sharp
Feb. 22, 1942 - Nov. 6, 2011
Beverly A. Sharp (Bev) went to be with her Lord on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011, after a courageous, 10-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Bev was born on Feb. 22, 1942, in Grant, Neb., to Delbert and Virginia Sands. Her family moved to the Tigard area, then settled in the Clyde area of Eastern Washington. Bev, along with her three sisters, was raised on a wheat farm where there was always plenty of work to do. After graduating from Prescott High School in 1960, Bev attended Washington State University for a year and a half, then married her high school sweetheart, John Sharp, in 1961. After John graduated from WSU, the newlyweds moved to wherever John's job took them. They finally settled on Spokane's South Hill in 1973.
Bev loved her family, her friends and her flowers. She spent countless hours tending her flower beds, her vegetable garden, as well as the church grounds at Manito United Methodist Church. Bev also loved to watch her grandchildren participate in their sports and activities, and looked forward to spending time every July at Cannon Beach, Ore., with her family. Everyone whose life Bev touched knew her as a warm, caring and compassionate person. She will be deeply missed by all.
Bev is survived by her husband of 50 years, John; children, Lisa (Kelvin) Strehlou and Brett (Sonja) Sharp, both of the Spokane Valley, and Karen (Jason) Garrood; five grandchildren; three sisters, Bonnie Fontana of Fontana, Calif., Claudia Landis of Wilsonville, Ore., and Debbie Fosnot (Ray) of Waitsburg; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Visitation will be Friday, Nov. 11, from 2 to 8 p.m. at Hazen and Jaeger Funeral Home at 1306 N. Monroe, Spokane. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 11 a.m. at Manito United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the Manito United Methodist Church Memorial Fund. A very special thank you goes out to Dr. Steven Anthony and his wonderful staff at Evergreen Hematology and Oncology Clinic and to Providence Holy Family Hospital's Oncology Floor for all that you have done for Bev and her family.
