Some people measure the passage of time by things like foliage or holidays, but around the WhoWhatWear.com office, our seasonal indicator is far more specific: we look for braids. Strange though it may seem, braids are an annual marker; as soon as the weather starts to warm up, they always pop up in some form or another. Over the past few years, we've documented the best braid trends, ranging from simple Heidi-style updos to intricate French iterations, as they appear on our favorite tastemakers. This year, the breakaway style is beyond simple, slightly slouchy, and took a starring turn on the spring runways: the side braid.
Originally created by the hair guru Guido as an accent for Alexander Wang's S/S 10 collection and later reinterpreted for Miu Miu's show, the side braid is truly an understated powerhouse. As you can tell from today's layout, the look is casually disheveled and perfectly imperfect, so there's not a lot of technique required. Guido did amplify the models' hair at the Wang show by applying Redken's Full Frame 07 Protective Volumizing Mousse ($16) to their damp locks before rough drying. The foamy formula adds body, texture, and protects hair from lots of nasty things (such as humidity and heat styling, to name two). Personally, we also like to add a little dry shampoo to our dry hair before braiding for extra staying power; Rene Furterer's Naturia Dry Shampoo ($24) is all kinds of amazing. From there, you simply need to make a deep part (for the Alexander Wang look) or a center part (per the Miu Miu runway) and braid away! One styling note to consider: if you have lots of layers or simply need some additional anchoring, pull your hair into a low side ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic before starting your braid.
But enough with the how-to details, let's talk about the gorgeous ladies who are wearing this look! Thus far, the side braid's biggest supporter has been the one and only Nicole Richie. Seen here in Paris in late February for the launch of her Winter Kate line, she proves that the SB can work for day or night. In fact, we love the contrast of her lingerie-inspired navy slip dress with the earthy braid. (OASN: Riche's wearing a Winter Kate Damien Dress ($228); a print version is available now.) Earlier that month, British TV presenter Fearne Cotton modeled a more intricate version of the side braid, when she turned up at the Brit Awards after-party wearing a fishtail iteration and a customized vintage, polka dot dress from Minni's Closet.
Of course, the beauty of the side braid is how marvelous it looks as part of an off-duty look, as Jessica Biel and Alessandra Ambrosio demonstrate. Regarding the former, Biel was snapped at LAX wearing her side braid under a burgundy beanie; it's a cute combo that would also work nicely for a lazy weekend brunch with friends. In addition to wearing this hairstyle for traveling, it's also a swell low-key option for a beach day, as Ambrosio revealed a few weeks ago in Malibu. The Victoria's Secret Angel was snapped at the Malibu Lumber Yard looking like the epitome of Brazilian beach chic in a floaty Seneca Rising Aurore Top ($110) and a pair of Victoria's Secret Cheeky Shorts ($19.50). Her slightly messy side braid is the perfect compliment to her casual outfit and yet another example of why this trend is worth trying this spring and summer!

The number of church robberies in the Wilkesboro area this week has now grown to three. The North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Wilkesboro and the First United Methodist Church of North Wilkesboro. Two of the robberies resulted from obvious break ins, but there was no
sign of forced entry at St. Paul's Episcopal. Wilkesboro area law enforcement is investigating the incidents, but no arrests have been made.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
A new school year will bring a new look to Carbon High's athletic and activities programs. In an effort to keep things competitive and fair in a state with fluctuating population growth, the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSSA) looks at all its classifications and regions every four years and realigns the organization as necessary.
This year was a realignment year and with the plethora of new charter schools and shifting populations came a new look to the UHSSA.
Carbon has been a 3A school in region eight for quite a while. Region eight now belongs to a group of schools in the 4A rankings and Carbon is now in Region 11. Five teams join Carbon in that region. Those schools are American Leadership Academy, Park City, Uintah, Union and Wasatch.
Old rivalries dissolve or take on a different significance as Emery, North Sanpete and Delta move into region 12. Juan Diego, who was also in the old region eight with Carbon, is now in region 10 with its nemesis, Judge Memorial.
The 3A classification is given to schools with a population of 400-999. Uintah has been put into region 11 even though it is a 4A school.
Robert Cox, who is currently with the Carbon School District, but was Carbon High's principal for many years, wasn't thrilled with the new alignment. He felt like the emphasis was on size of school and not on proximity to each other. With rising transportation costs the miles a team must travel to play their schedule will affect the athletic budget immensely.
Current Carbon High Principal Greg Stanfield echoed the same sentiments. Travel costs for sports and activities will be crucial as fuel prices continue to soar.
As far as the region's make up, Stanfield feels that Carbon will remain competitive in the sports that they historically have been competitive in and struggle in those they have not. "This will be a good region and most of our teams will hold their own. We may struggle in some sports, but everyone of our teams has a chance to get into state competition in the third or fourth seed at least," he said.
The other concern for the new alignment is that many schools balked at having to drive to Carbon to compete. Highway 6 is the issue and even though Carbon will have to drive it or Indian Canyon for all their region games with the new alignment, many schools felt it was too dangerous to come here. Uintah a 4A school is in region 11 for the same reason, none of the Wasatch Front 4A schools wanted to have them in their region because of the distance.
Neither Cox or Stanfield knew exactly how Uintah would fit into the region and how their presence would be felt for region rankings at tournament time.
But for now, it is time for all the debate to end and the scheduling to begin. What's done is done and its time to play.
As a side note Principal Stanfield announced that there will be both girls and boys tennis teams this school year. The girls will compete this fall and the boys season is in the spring semester. Coaches are in the process of being hired for these two new teams.

Jets Receivers Questionable Going Into Game
With Gronk and Chandler Jones out of tonight's game for the Pats, New England isn't the only ones dealing with injuries heading into tonight's game.
Jeremy Kerley will be a game time decision, among others. Plus, Jordan White gets bumped up to the active roster #jets nj.com/jets/index.ssf…
— Conor Orr (@ConorTOrr) November 22, 2012
After releasing WR Jason Hill earlier this week, the Jets have activated rookie receiver Jordan White off their practice squad to the regular roster in anticipation that the Jets might be without their top receiver in their matchup with the Patriots tonight.
The Patriots run defense is starting to flag, which is a good thing for the Jets but the team is weakest in their secondary. The Patrriots secondary is quite bad, and while adding Talib will help them he's not the steady consistent player that Belichick likes and instead is more like the boom or bust cornerback that can be pick sixing one play and getting toasted the next.
So Losing Kerley in tonight's game will be a big blow to the Jets and will put more pressure on players like Stephen Hill, Chaz Schilens, Clyde Gates and of course, Dustin Keller. We'll see if White is active, but if he is how much would the Jets use him? And how would they do so? Bubble screens? Reverses? Based on his size he might be a good possession type option or could be used in spread option plays.

Ark Naturals has just changed the formula on the Venison & Chicken flavors, buyer beware. I got the ones with 1000 mg of sea cucumber, but watch out for possible changes to 250mg.
Murray's favorite treat!!

My senior dog goes absolutely nuts for these. They have way more Glucosamine and MSM than most other treats, and at iHerb they're much cheaper than at the pet store. I've ordered all the flavors- he can't get enough. An easy and relative inexpensive way to give joint supplements- try them!
Good Stuff

Ghost DriverWednesday, August 1st, 2007
(http://4 NULL.bp NULL.blogspot NULL.com/_ojyahdSAHtg/RrEJcVBrzAI/AAAAAAAAAAs/JkhrNHZDcSM/s1600-h/img443 NULL.jpg)Can you see what the name is?
Look closer.
yup. that's right. my cab driver the other day was a ghost. I literally did a Laurel and Hardy double take when I saw his name. I was like "wait a minute, Didn't he get shot shot shot up?"
then for a split second i was like "whoa he survived that and is now a cab driver."
I was saddened about how that story must have moved along. Man gets racially profiled by police who thought he was up to no good because he just happened to be outside. He freaks out cuz he's like "why are they watching me?" They chase him down an alley way and when he takes out his wallet to maybe show them an ID or something, the adrenaline filled cops think its a gun and shoot him 50 times (the account in the book Blink is an interesting angle). Cut to 8 years later and the dude is a cab driver.
I texted a bunch of people. Reactions ranged from "Take a picture with him!" to "who?" I got online to find out. The man i was thinking of was, in fact, killed. Then i was disappointed with my faulty knowledge and even more disappointed with the people that said "who?" Guess that name is much more common than i thought.

|More Info
As part of the Alamo 100, this screening will feature free collectible THE GODFATHER pins while supplies last.
An undisputed classic and still one of the most loved, acclaimed and popular films of all-time THE GODFATHER feels just as fresh and groundbreaking today as it did in 1972. It made Al Pacino a star, it cemented Marlon Brando as the acting force of generation and shed light on the unique and overflowing talent of Copppola.
Over the years the film is mostly known in pop culture for Brando's puffy cheeks, the immense bloodshed throughout and that infamous horse's head. What shouldn't be forgotten, though, is that Coppola and writer Mario Puzo crafted one of the most emotional and complex studies of family, loyalty and morality ever put on film.
Whether it's your first time or fiftieth experiencing THE GODFATHER you can't help but be moved by one of the greatest films ever made.
"One of the most brutal and moving chronicles of American life ever designed within the limits of popular entertainment." -Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"Overflowing with life, rich with all the grand emotions and vital juices of existence, up to and including blood." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Lavazza Coffee and Espresso
Italy's Favorite Coffee
Lavazza's seeds were planted in 1895 when a small grocery store in Northern Italy was purchased for a mere $20. Today, Lavazza is heralded as "Italy's #1 Coffee," and with over 75% of Italy drinking their coffee, it's hard to argue.
A coffee for every setting
Their lines of whole bean espresso, drip coffee and espresso pods are not the only shining examples of the company's high-quality reputation. The two new single-serve capsule machines the Lavazza Blue 2210 and the Espresso Point have become a great way to enjoy the delicious taste of Lavazza.

Fortis Inc. completed its acquisition of UNS Energy Corporation, adding UNS Energy subsidiaries Tucson Electric Power (TEP) and UniSource Energy Services (UES) to its growing international family of electric and gas utility companies.
TEP and UES will remain headquartered in Tucson under local control with current management and staffing levels and no planned changes to existing operations. Under the terms of a written order issued by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) on Aug. 12, both companies will have enhanced financial strength and other benefits as part of Fortis, while their Arizona customers will receive $30 million in bill credits over the next five years.
"Joining the Fortis family will generate benefits for our company, our customers and the communities we serve," said David Hutchens, President and CEO of UNS Energy, TEP and UES. "While this transaction opens a new chapter in our company's history, our story remains the same. We will continue working every day to provide the safe, reliable and affordable service our customers have come to expect."
With the $4.5 billion acquisition, which includes the assumption of $2 billion in debt, UNS Energy becomes the second largest subsidiary of Fortis and expands that company's customer base to more than 3 million. Fortis is Canada's largest investor-owned electric and gas distribution holding company, with regulated utility holdings in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean.
"TEP and UES are well-run companies whose employees are committed to serving their customers and communities," said Fortis President Barry Perry, who will succeed H. Stanley Marshall as the company's CEO effective December 31, 2014. "We welcome both companies to the Fortis team and look forward to supporting their continued success in serving their customers' energy needs."
Local, Independent Board Majority
The UNS Energy Board of Directors was reconstituted today as a result of the acquisition. In addition to Perry and John C. Walker, Fortis' Executive Vice President of Western Canadian Operations, the board's nine members include Hutchens and six other longtime Arizona residents who will continue on as independent directors from the previous UNS Energy Board:
• Lawrence J. Aldrich, Chairman and Executive Director of the Arizona Business Coalition on Health.
• Robert A. Elliott, President and Owner, Elliott Accounting.
• Louise L. Francesconi, former President of Raytheon Missile Systems.
• Ramiro G. Peru, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Phelps Dodge Corporation.
• Gregory A. Pivirotto, former CEO and Director of University Medical Center.
• Joaquin Ruiz, Dean of the University of Arizona College of Science, Executive Dean of the Colleges of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
UNS Energy remains the parent company of TEP and UES and will continue to oversee their local operations. UNS Energy's stock will not trade on the New York Stock Exchange after today. Shareholders will be notified by transfer agency Computershare with instructions on how to redeem their shares.

LOWVILLE Lewis County will have a bevy of contested town and village races this fall, including a three-way race for two Lowville town judge seats.
Justice Asa J. Holbrook has filed Republican and Conservative petitions, while retired state police investigator William R. Kiernan and Village Judge Patricia H. Yarina both have filed petitions for those two parties, as well as ones for the Democratic and Independence parties.
The trio will face off in GOP and Conservative primaries in September.
Both four-year seats are up for election simultaneously after Republican Judge John J. Youngs inadvertently failed to run for re-election last November and was removed from office when the error was discovered earlier this year.
Democrat Robert J. Mullin also is challenging Republican Town Council members Paul R. Virkler and Ruth I. Laribee in Lowville.
In the only contested town supervisor race in the county, Robin Grunert, Independence Party, has challenged New Bremen Democratic Supervisor Peter J. Keys. Republican Councilman David L. Becker, fellow Republican Joseph E. Aucter and Democrat Donald Getman are running for two council seats, while Republican Judge Charles W. Stevens is being challenged by Democrat Valerie J. Getman.
In Croghan, Deanna K. Hoch is running as a Republican and Democrat against Republican assessor Amos A. Noftsier, requiring a GOP primary.
In Denmark, Barbara Weiler and Diane Mahar will face off in a Republican primary for town clerk, while Democrat Prudence L. Kunert, a longtime deputy clerk who is serving as clerk following the retirement of Rita J. Woodruff, also is running for the seat.
In Greig, Republicans Jennifer Fox and Thomas P. Gunn, a town councilman, are both running for clerk, requiring a primary.
In Lewis, Democratic Highway Superintendent Alan J. Tanner is being challenged by Republican Lynn Frank Platt.
In Leyden, Councilmen Andrew Millick, a Democrat, and Verle E. Yelton, a Republican, are being challenged by Democrat/Conservative Steven M. Fox.
In Lyonsdale, Democratic Highway Superintendent Matthew J. Farr is being challenged by fellow Democrat Randall Baslow and Republicans Terry L. Swiernik and Theodore Mooney, requiring both Republican and Democratic primaries. And Republican council members William L. Marmon and Nancy OBrien-Dailey are being challenged by fellow Republicans David Butts and John L. Smith, requiring a GOP primary; Mr. Butts also will hold the Conservative line.
In Martinsburg, Republican Highway Superintendent Tyler J. Jones is being challenged by fellow Republican Craig A. Forney, requiring a primary. One also will be needed for council, where Republican incumbent Michael J. McGrath and fellow Republicans E. Frank Kogut and Jared J. Thisse are running for two seats.
In Osceola, three Republicans Amanda Sterling, Arlene Mosch and Vickie Carpinelli will face off in a primary for two council seats, while Democratic Councilwoman Colleen Burns is also running for re-election. Republicans JoAnne A. Conklin and Timothy J. Davis Sr. will also primary to fill a council vacancy. Republican Highway Superintendent Michael J. Wilk will be challenged by fellow Republicans Kevin Searles and Richard N. Meagher, requiring a primary.
In Pinckney, council members Donald H. Vincent, a Republican, and Sandra L. Dunn, an Independence Party member, will be challenged by Republican Donald H. Vincent.
In Turin, Councilwomen Joanne DAmbrosi, a Democrat, and Linda M. Galarneau, a Republican, are being challenged by Republican Paul Dickinson.

I agree with you in all aspects other than it being as good an adaptation as Harry Potter. Zack Snyder left out little in Watchmen, but with Harry Potter, it was like the director just stripped down everything but the basic plot. Sure, Snyder left out some of the most interesting bits, like the "word on the street" type thing with the Newstand vendor that provided a bit of context, but it was still a very good adaptation.Qwertyuiopasd wrote:I believe it was Tim Buckley who said it this way... It's a supplement to the comic.
Read the comic, then you get to watch the movie, and see (parts of) it acted out with wonderful visuals.
Seeing the movie by itself isn't going to be anywhere near as good. It's probably one of the best adaptation movies in the last 10 years. Not quite as good as LOTR, but perhaps of Harry Potter. Sure, there's some issues and things we'd rather they hadn't done, but all in all it's a good translation from text to screen.

42 U.S. Code § 5154a - Prohibited flood disaster assistance
(a) General prohibition
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal disaster relief assistance made available in a flood disaster area may be used to make a payment (including any loan assistance payment) to a person for repair, replacement, or restoration for damage to any personal, residential, or commercial property if that person at any time has received flood disaster assistance that was conditional on the person first having obtained flood insurance under applicable Federal law and subsequently having failed to obtain and maintain flood insurance as required under applicable Federal law on such property.
(b) Transfer of property
(1) Duty to notify
In the event of the transfer of any property described in paragraph (3), the transferor shall, not later than the date on which such transfer occurs, notify the transferee in writing of the requirements to—
(A) obtain flood insurance in accordance with applicable Federal law with respect to such property, if the property is not so insured as of the date on which the property is transferred; and
(B) maintain flood insurance in accordance with applicable Federal law with respect to such property.
Such written notification shall be contained in documents evidencing the transfer of ownership of the property.
(2) Failure to notify
If a transferor described in paragraph (1) fails to make a notification in accordance with such paragraph and, subsequent to the transfer of the property—
(A) the transferee fails to obtain or maintain flood insurance in accordance with applicable Federal law with respect to the property,
(C) Federal disaster relief assistance is provided for the repair, replacement, or restoration of the property as a result of such damage,
the transferor shall be required to reimburse the Federal Government in an amount equal to the amount of the Federal disaster relief assistance provided with respect to the property.
(3) Property described
For purposes of paragraph (1), a property is described in this paragraph if it is personal, commercial, or residential property for which Federal disaster relief assistance made available in a flood disaster area has been provided, prior to the date on which the property is transferred, for repair, replacement, or restoration of the property, if such assistance was conditioned upon obtaining flood insurance in accordance with applicable Federal law with respect to such property.
(d) "Flood disaster area" defined
For purposes of this section, the term "flood disaster area" means an area with respect to which—
(1) the Secretary of Agriculture finds, or has found, to have been substantially affected by a natural disaster in the United States pursuant to section 1961 (a) of title 7; or

- How to Read a Study Record
The primary aim of the PAL-HF trial is to assess the impact of an interdisciplinary palliative care intervention combined with usual heart failure management on health-related quality of life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy with Palliative Care Subscale.
Heart Failure
Heart Diseases
Cardiovascular Diseases
Behavioral: Usual heart failure care + interdisciplinary palliative care
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
|Official Title:
|Palliative Care in Heart Failure (PAL-HF)
- Is there an impact on quality of life with the addition of a palliative care intervention? [ Time Frame: Change from baseline in quality of life score at 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The primary endpoint is health-related quality of life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy with Palliative Care Subscale (FACIT-Pal) score at 6 months.
The KCCQ is a 23-item, disease-specific questionnaire scored from 0-100 with high scores representing better health status.
The FACIT-Pal is a 46-item measure of self-reported quality of life (27 general quality of life; 19 palliative care) that assesses quality of life in several domains.
- Is there an impact on depression and anxiety with the addition of a palliative care intervention? [ Time Frame: Change from baseline in anxiety and depression at 3 months and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Depression and anxiety will be assessed in all patients using the self-administered Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months.
- Is there an impact on caregiver satisfaction and perception of subject quality of life with the addition of a palliative care intervention? [ Time Frame: Structured interview with the caregiver 6 weeks after patient's death ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]A structured interview with the caregiver of those subjects that die during the study will be conducted 6 weeks following the study subject's death using the After-Death Bereaved Family Member Interview - Hospice Version. The interview provides an assessment of patient-focused, family-centered care and assesses overall quality of care received.
- Is there an impact on spiritual well-being with the addition of a palliative care intervention? [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 3 months and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Spiritual well-being will be assessed using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp) at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. The FACIT-Sp is a 12 item scale which assesses the role of faith in illness and meaning, peace, and purpose in life.
- Is there an impact on cost and resource utilization with the addition of a palliative care intervention? [ Time Frame: Estimated cost of care from randomization until completion of the study, about 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will use administrative data from Duke Health System to estimate costs of care to determine the cost effectiveness of palliative care versus normal care. At all follow-up points in the study (2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and every 6 months thereafter), patients will be asked if they received care outside of the Duke Health System and to estimate the number of physician visits and/or days in the hospital. The cost of such care will be estimated using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey and included in the aggregate cost of care from randomization until completion of the study.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2012
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 2016
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|February 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: Usual heart failure care
Patients will be managed by a cardiologist-directed team with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. Until discharge, inpatient care will focus on symptom relief and initiation of evidence-based therapies. Additional goals of care will include treatment of co-morbidities and patient education designed to assist with self-management techniques. However, after discharge, which is where the study actually takes place, patients will only receive outpatient follow-up with a heart failure cardiologist or nurse practitioner who will focus on medication titration to evidence-based dosing, titration of diuretic therapy, assessment of compliance with medical and dietary regimens, and serial monitoring of end-organ function.
Active Comparator: Usual care + palliative care
Patients will receive an interdisciplinary, multicomponent palliative care intervention combined with state of the art heart failure management designed to assess and manage the multiple domains of quality of life at the end of life for patients with advanced heart failure, including physical symptoms, psychosocial concerns, and spiritual concerns, and to facilitate advance care planning.
Behavioral: Usual heart failure care + interdisciplinary palliative care
Usual heart failure care + interdisciplinary palliative care focused on symptom relief; assessment and management of anxiety, depression, and spiritual concerns; as well as advance care planning that includes definition of care goals, resuscitation preferences, and participation in the Outlook intervention.

Video: Legal analysis: What's next in Dimora case
Video: Dimora trial: Jury not done yet
AKRON -- The jury in the Dimora trial will reconvene next week for a forfeiture hearing.
This is the additional matter that the judge spoke of at the verdict.
The hearing will determine what the government is going to go after in order to make Dimora pay back everything he got illegally. One of the things he may lose is his house. The half million dollar home in Independence may belong to the U.S. Government before long.
Dimora's prosecution ended with 33 convictions. The government is not likely to hold back when it goes after everything he acquired illegally either. On top of that, the fines, penalties, back taxes, and restitution, he'll be lucky to have anything left.
But for Dimora himself, that may not matter. He faces a maximum sentence of nearly 60 years. Most agree he won't get that much but a sentence of 20 to 30 years seems likely.
Frank Russo the other key figure in the corruption investigation received 22 years by making a deal and pleading guilty.
Dimora was convicted on more counts and did not make a deal.
Russo still has to testify at three more trials. So in the end Dimora will likely end up behind bars before Russo will.
This investigation does not end with this trial. Three more trials are scheduled involving five defendants.
In addition, there are 14 people already convicted waiting to be sentenced. About 20 men and women including a couple of judges are actually in prison and about half a dozen other corruption figures have already done their time and are out.

Rick DiPietro Activated Off IR
Via NewYorkIslanders.com:
The New York Islanders announced today that goaltender Rick DiPietro has been removed from injured reserve.
DiPietro, 30, had been sidelined since Dec. 3, 2011, first with a groin strain and then with a sports hernia and knee swelling. The Winthrop, MA, native appeared in eight games last season, posting a 3-2-3 record.
As you were.

On Wednesday, AdWeek ran an article titled, The Best Perceived Brands of 2013. It was a recap of a recent YouGov Brand Index survey that "measures consumer perception of brands by asking consumers if they've heard anything negative or positive about them and assigns a score ranging from 100 to -100 by subtracting the negative from the positive feedback." Here's a look at the top brands courtesy of a AdWeek graphic:
Now here's what I find fascinating. Everyone one of the top saw a year-on-year decline in brand perception. And these are the cream of the crop! On average the Top 10 brands dropped nearly 7 points. Put another way, the Top 10 brands averaged a score of a little over 26 points. The 6.9 average drop amongst them from 2012 represents a more than 25% decline in brand perception.
If I follow the methodology correctly the Top 10 are receiving roughly three negative pieces of feedback for every positive one. Nike, the darling of every marketing case study has a score of 16.5. What in the world is going on here?
It seems to me that there is something fundamentally wrong culturally. The would appear to be a massive gap between how brands would like to be perceived and the reality of the situation. If the scores are any indication, there isn't a magic bullet solution here either.
Dissecting the Top 10 is a fascinating exercise as well. You've got old, traditional brands like Ford, V8 and Cheerios right next to Amazon and YouTube. Media outlets like History Channel and brick and mortar locations like Lowe's. If I were to take a stab at it, I think all 10 are perceived as providing value, or empowering people in some way. Take control of your health (Walgreens, Subway, V8, Cheerios), DIY (Lowe's, YouTube), on-demand (Amazon, Kindle). Ford and History channel are interesting. They both are a nod to nostalgia, perhaps even patriotism on some level, but neither brand feels stuffy or out of date.
It would be worth a deeper dive to see if there aren't some other insights that can be derived from this survey.

The Fable of the Century (Robert Reich)
Reich spins a far-fetched tale in which, during a time of skyrocketing inequality, a major political party nominates a wealthy private equity manager who wants to make the rich even richer. Luckily, the ending is a Choose Your Own Adventure.
Not Enough Inflation (NYT)
Paul Krugman notes that criticizing the Fed is fair game, but conservatives have a habit of telling it to do the wrong thing at the worst time, like fighting inflation that isn't there instead of unemployment and debt overhang that most definitely is.
Fighting Over the American Home: Handcuffs versus Hope and Change (Naked Capitalism)
Roosevelt Institute Fellow Matt Stoller looks at the division between those who think housing will eventually pick up and rocking the boat for banks isn't worth it and those who think bank execs would look better in a nice shade of prison orange.
Something for Nothing? (Baseline Scenario)
James Kwak explains that while the JOBS Act buys into the myth that less regulation is always better, it actually makes it easier for shady start-ups to fleece investors and harder for good companies to strut their stuff through required disclosure.
Main Street banks break away from Wall Street with their own SuperPAC (WaPo)
Suzy Khimm reports that smaller local banks have joined forces to create a new Super PAC and establish that they're not like those Wall Street creeps. Except they both want to repeal hard-won financial regulations. But otherwise, totally different.
Join the conversation about the Roosevelt Institute's new initiative, Rediscovering Government, led by Senior Fellow Jeff Madrick.
The Assault on Public Education (In These Times)
Noam Chomsky argues that despite being one of America's greatest achievements, the public education system is being gutted under the watch of financial overlords who aren't interested in having their worker bees corrupted by thoughts and ideas.
The Long Moral View (TAP)
Paul Waldman writes that when the U.S. eventually has universal health care, we'll regard those who tried to delay the inevitable as fondly as those who thought having kids work an eight-hour shift on the assembly line was capitalism at its best.
Fired for Wearing the Wrong Color Shirt: The Scary Truth About Our Lack of Workplace Protections (AlterNet)
Jake Blumgart points out that while unionized workers are protected from arbitrary firing, at-will employment allows employers to dismiss you for wearing white shoes after Labor Day, freeing them to assemble the stylish team they've always wanted.
Finance Expert: Oil Price Increase Is Being Driven By 'Gamblers Wearing Wall Street Suits' (Think Progress)
Michael Greenberger argues that the source of oil price spikes is not, in fact, President Obama's magic oil price-adjusting powers, passed down through ancient Kenyan socialist rituals, but Wall Street's out-of-control speculation in the oil markets.
Elizabeth Warren: Yes She Can? (The Nation)
E.J. Graff examines Warren's struggle to persuade voters that she's a real person who understands their needs rather than the typical Democrat who seems like an android sent back from the future to lecture them and concede to Republicans.

Alan, I apologize that I did not post the most recent version of the proposed by-laws to this thread. Some of the problems you identify have already been resolved with the 4th version, now posted here.
I will address the rest of your questions but wanted to post the most current version, along with my apology, as quickly as I could.
Also, may I get some clear direction from you on what it is SWFWDA is asking to be changed? Or will your delegates give me that information?

Looks like I have another round of reading ahead of me.
SWFWDA desires that NOTHING be changed in the bylaws. If you need more dues, prove your case and take it to the delegates/orgs. If individual members want/need a say in things, don't wipe out 99% of the voting rights of the ORGANIZATIONS THAT GOT UFWDA OFF THE GROUND in order to give individuals voting rights.
You are asking your current member organizations to swallow the elephant in one big bite. That's not how you eat an elephant; it's one small bite at a time.
Write a business plan that requires a few small changes to the bylaws, not a frame-up resto. We understand that change is sometimes needed. We understand that times are tough (it ain't just UFWDA that is/will suffer a drop in membership). The bylaws I read (and I doubt the latest version is radically different) creates a new organization entirely, not a modified association. Just about the only thing that stays the same is the name (which is a laugh).
Why does United feel it must compete with Blue Ribbon and Tread Lightly!? That's where individuals can go for individual activities. United was formed as an ASSOCIATION OF ASSOCIATIONS. I am unaware of any other world-wide organization that is tailored to help regional/local clubs in their/our quest for maintaining the open land still out there.
How many folks claim a political party? How many of them vote (it's free)? How many of them actually donate to their chosen political party? And you think you're going to eventually get a surge in membership because you RAISE the price of admission and in exchange let individual members vote to decide...what? The budget? The price of dues? What exactly will the newly bestowed voting members be able to vote on besides changes to the bylaws?
Time to go read.

Alan, the prime motivating factor for changing the voting allocation and the by-laws is to correct the communication problem that UFWDA has been plaqued with for 30+ years. To the present, UFWDA relies on associations to bring information to UFWDA and UFWDA relies on associations to take UFWDA information to its members.
Historically, less than 1/2 of all associations attend the annual meeting, one of several venues for UFWDA and associations to communicate. Likewise, there are 62 organizations currently in UFWDA. Of those 62 with voting rights in UFWDA, only 36 of them have provided UFWDA with a club or association with an e-mail address and therefore only 26 organizations are on the UFWDA e-mail group, one of several venues for UFWDA and associations to communicate. Of those 26, only 19 are registered for the forums. Of the 19 organizations registered for the forums, only 7 are participating in any discussions - land use, UFWDA programs, the proposed by-laws, etc. In contrast, the UFWDA Voice readership is over 10,000.
UFWDA has been asked repeatedly by its members "what has UFWDA done for me lately?". All we have done has been shared with our voting associations, via e-mail, via website, via forum, and via Voice. Yet the delegates from those organizations are not, generally speaking, sharing the UFWDA information with the members they represent. I ask every organization leader reading this post to ask themselves - Have the delegates from my association provided me with the information available at UFWDA? Have I been kept informed about these proposed by-laws since they were posted to the delegates in January? Have I been kept informed of the large strides UFWDA is making to get support from 4x4 businesses? Have I been kept informed about the land use work UFWDA is doing at both the federal and state level? If you can answer "yes" to these questions I am relieved. If you answered "no" to these questions you are in the majority.
UFWDA made the decision that it must be proactive in taking responsbility for communicating directly with each and every member and stop relying on a delegate system that is non-functioning. To do otherwise would continue to jeopardize the existence of UFWDA because people will not pay their dues to an organization like UFWDA if they think they are getting nothing for their money.
This decision lead to the creation of a business plan and marketing plan to outline exactly how UFWDA would communicate with each individual member regardless of the method by which the member joined - through a club, through an association, on their own.
Finally, the board of directors at UFWDA has been telling the delegates each year that the work load is more than a volunteer board can handle. And each year about 1/2 of the delegates tell the board that their membership will not support a dues increase. Without a dues increase we fold. With a dues increase, hiring of additoinal staff, and better marketing, UFWDA will flourish. If 1/2 the delegates are unable to persuade their membership of the necessity and prudence of a dues increase then UFWDA has no choice but to reach out directly to each person who pays dues to UFWDA and outline the problem and the solution.
UFWDA board of directors, at the insistence of its delegates, has been trying for 5 years to develop a marketing plan and business plan to improve UFWDA. The delegates have often found fault with the solutions developed by its board, but rarely have offered an alternative solution. What you now have before you is a final attempt to save UFWDA.
If SW and the other organizations with voting control of UFWDA want the votes to remain solely vested with their organizations UFWDA will embrace their decision. With the exception of your dialogue here, we are only hearing from 7 organizations on the subject. We've posted the information here in the general forum here, we've posted in the delegates section of the forum, we've printed information in the last two editions of the Voice, we've held 3 different webinars on the subject. Yet only 7 organizations are talking to us. The organization/delegate structure we currently have at UFWDA is NOT working.
In light of your response to my question I now believe SW wants no by-laws changes. Will SW be sending delegates to the UFWDA meeting to share its concerns about the proposed changes?

I was going to stay out of this discussion, but, I just could not anymore.
Here is my opinion on this issue.
Any organiziation needs to change with the times to remain competitive for the consumers dollars. United is no different. This organization has to remain competitive with all the others out there selling the same product or service, and people expect something for their money: For this orginazation, that means that it works to keep trails open, and accessable by all.
Without digging to far into my basic college marketing class, United has to provide the following to their consumers/users:
Solution, Cost, Convience, and Communication.
Solution - They work to keep public lands open for our continued enjoyment.
Cost - What we pay for our yearly dues, I think I paid 30.00 this year via the main page web.
Convenience - how we access, or use the services provided by United. For me, the public lands are still open here in Cali, and other places that I recreate.
Communication - United Voice is what I read, along with the enews, and this forum. For me, electronic media is my preferred method of delivery. But everyone is different.
And these are different for everyone within United's membership base. For someone to join United, it has to fit into their life at the present time. How many other people do we know that recreate on public lands, and are not members of ANY organization or association? I know of at least 20 that I work with, and I talk to them all the time. And, how many other groups out there recreate on public lands, with minimal organizations, or associations that do very little to promote their choosen sport? Take a look at the mining community? They talk about issues with access to land all the time, and I see very little organized solutions put before them, that are fighting to keep lands open for them!
So, back to us here: the BOD's need to keep the membership informed of what is going on with land access issues within their respective areas. I know that Cal4wheel is an association that is part of United, but I have not heard what Cal4Wheel is doing to support United in the fight to keep lands open, or other issues. Granted, Cal4Wheel for the most part is only concerned with California, and they should be since 95 percent of their membership is from California. The clubs within the Cal4Wheel organization are pretty good about passing out info from Cal4Wheel. But we also have quarterly district meetings with the leadership/BOD, and I think it is easier to put the information out the the people in the weeds. With United, this is a little harder, since this is a Global organization. I am not a member of the BOD's, and I do not know if they have monthly, or quarterly meetings to pass info out to the people in the weeds, other then using e-news, United Voice, or the Forum here.
With the current voting structure, I think it would be easy for a couple of organizations, or associations to steer United in a wrong direction, or make changes that the individuals to not agree with. This is always a possiblilty, even with letting the membership individual vote. Look at our whole election process in our country. I think with the change that has been proposed, it will look more like the form of government we have, and allow for checks and balances within this organization. With this being a global organization, it is hard to please everyone, and keep everyone informed or potential changes needed to keep the organization running smoothly and efficiently.
Speaking of running smoothly and efficiently, from the little time I have been associated with United, I have seen somethings here that I like, and the way they go about working to keep access to public lands. But this is done with volunteers, and after a while, if the volunteers get burned out, they will leave the organization, and possibly even the sport. Look what happened with the Nevada state association! Only a couple of people where doing anything there, and they got so burned out, they closed the doors on the association. Now take a look at some of the land grabs that have taken place over there since they closed their doors. They have no one with a unified voice there to speak up for them and work with the BLM and Forest Service to keep access to the public lands.
How many other states have no state association for the OHV users there to support, and work to keep access for them.
This is a hard, and time consuming fight that is only going to get harder for the next couple of years since we had a big change in Congress with the Democrats.
We all need to speak up, and voice our opinion on what United is trying to do, and about what the government is trying to do to our land access rights.
Overall, I think United is headed in the right direction, and looking to the future. If you do not look to the future, you will become part of the history, and the books will be closed on you.
Question about the current changes though? No Director of Environmental Affairs postion within United. In the current by-laws, there are three directors at Large?

In light of your response to my question I now believe SW wants no by-laws changes. Will SW be sending delegates to the UFWDA meeting to share its concerns about the proposed changes?
Yes, SWFWDA will have delegates attending the convention. Our delegates will convey the desires of SW, based on feedback from our member clubs. So far I have received verbal (hopefully soon to be electronic) feedback from one of the largest clubs in SWFWDA. They are contemplating not re-upping with SW if this UFWDA change happens. That is the only way they can pull out of United since SWFWDA's bylaws state we must be a member of United. Their biggest issue is the dues increase. I explained to them that I do not yet know specifically how United change in structure will effect their dues to SWFWDA. Note: it is written into our SOPs that SW dues are based on United dues and increase when United's increase.
Let me reiterate: my personal problem with the change is the RADICAL change. This new UFWDA bears little resemblance to the UFWDA that SW has been a member of for a long time. It will no longer be UNITED ASSOCIATIONS, but rather INDIVIDUALS with somewhat common goals. If an individual member under the current bylaws doesn't like having no vote, that should motivate this member to rally like-minded folks in his area, form a club, and join United. Now he/they have a vote. If you think s/he shouldn't be expected to do that, then what makes you think United will be able to get that same group of individuals to join as individual members? If you're not motivated at your local level, why would you be motivated at a national/international level?
As long as I've been involved in offroading, I have always preached the necessity and validity of SWFWDA and UFWDA, as well as local clubs, and the necessity of volunteers, and how it's too late if you wait until AFTER they've closed your favorite public piece of land. But in today's world people only want to know "What have you done for ME lately?"
Dues were increased by a dollar only a couple of years ago. Did membership drop? Dues increased by another 50% ($5) just recently. Did membership drop? Is United doing more with it's dues increase? Could dues sort of be like taxes: cut taxes and tax revenues actually increase?

"I officially became SW prez on Feb 24, 2007. We had some issues with our association that were top priority. It took me a couple of months to get my head above water. I became peripherally aware of United changes coming down the pipeline [I think] in mid April. I heard "dues increasing to $25 per" and "there's a new business plan" but didn't pick up on radical bylaw changes until a member club's president recently (this past week) sent me an email asking some hard questions about how the proposed bylaw change at United would affect SWFWDA, namely the dues we collect from each club then pass on to United.
I am disappointed that I had to go on a major quest to track down details of the new proposed dues structure. Details are in neither the bylaws nor the business plan and there are no proposed changes to SOPs. I suppose if SWFWDA were to vote FOR the proposed changes we could always still decide not to re-up if the moving-target dues plan (the BOD can change it anytime they want and I still haven't found anything that concretely establishes all the dollar amounts) rises to much.
Oops...I'm off topic."
Alan and everyone,
I have copied Alan's "off topic" stuff back here where I believe it is THE topic. The first paragraph above is a prime example of why change is needed in United relying on volunteers, and information not getting to the members. The "volunteer" system, while good in theory, is not working on the ground. All organizations have volunteer delegates and/or representatives to United of some type, the list is here
Every volunteer tries to do his or her best, but wheeling, family, work, and life in general always get in the way. It cannot be helped. Information that the United board puts out, like the delegate webinar on Feb. 8, 2007, just doesn't trickle down as well as it should.
(page 12)
This webinar and presentation pdf file explained where the board is coming from with these changes . This presentation had details of the new and simple dues structure. (Major quest completed.)
(page 23)
It also explained that United needs to move up to a professional organization, with paid staff. A volunteer board works great when you have dedicated people willing to help and willing to work (like the current board). That is hard to guarantee. I see it in our local club and in the VA4WDA all the time. How many people do you have running for office at each election? Those who get elected, how many can and do put in the time required to do the work? At every general membership meeting I have attended, the members come up with a list of stuff they want someone else (the United BOD) to work on. Every year, the board members that stick it out try their best to get the stuff done. (See "life in general" note above). This list of things members want done is basically the same list the Blue Ribbons and the Tread Lightlys get too. Bottom line is folks want places to wheel on public and private land. That is the answer to your question "Why does United feel it must compete with Blue Ribbon and Tread Lightly!?"
United currently works to provide places to wheel on public and private land with volunteers and some paid staff and with an operating budget of less than half of these other pro-access entities. (Less than 1% of the anti-access groups' budgets) United does a darn good job of it with what they have at their disposal. Go United BOD! What's wrong with wanting to better yourself? In order to have a paid staff to do the things the membership wants, more money is needed. More members are needed to get more money. Equitable representation is needed among those members. The simple solution the United BOD came up with is one man, one vote. Personally, I do not see voting rights as a big perk for a lot of members. Bottom line is folks want places to wheel on public and private land. As long as United is fighting for that access, members will be happy. As long as United tells it's members what it is doing to fight for that access, AKA "what United is doing for them", members will be happy. United needs to get the information straight to the members, not through the trickle down system. The "necessity and validity of SWFWDA and UFWDA" has not changed. People either see the value of belonging to SWFWDA/United and join, or they don't. United is just trying to cover their portion of getting information to its members by doing it directly.
The VA4WDA is set up exactly like SWFWDA, dues in VA4WDA reflect the cost of United dues. The perk of SWFWDA and VA4WDA being members of United? They get their money back in the "cash back program" from United
(page 23)
I believe VA4WDA is going to vote to accept these changes as presented, knowing full well that as time passes and things progress, bylaws and SOPs will be modified as needed. United will still be the "world-wide organization that is tailored to help regional/local clubs in their/our quest for maintaining the open land still out there." We all feel changes are necessary, we've tasked the United BOD to make changes, lets give their months of hard work a try.
***I see while I was typing this up that both Jim and Shawn can type faster and have posted similar responses in the original thread.

After recovering from the initial shock of learning how major the proposed United changes will be, and after tracking down more information beyond what is in the proposed bylaws and the published business plan, I am, in general, much less against this "new" United. I don't blame my delegates for my lack of knowledge on this subject; it's my fault for not seeking my own detailed information after receiving a "things are changing" overview.
I still have three or four specific, pointed, technical issues with the wording of the bylaws, all of which I have addressed in the delegates forum.

Pardon my confusion... but as a
delegate that is unable to attend this years AGM, what provisions does our association have to vote "in absence". on these bylaw changes and other items up for vote?

Based upon the current Bylaws, see Article 9, Section 1,
I believe the answer is NONE.
I'm sure one of the United BOD will post a confirmation.
Thanks for asking, ---Doug

Also, from Article 7
Copied directly from the bylaws.
Article 7
Section 1. Each Organization in good standing shall be entitled to two (2) votes at
meetings of the membership. Each Organization shall be entitled to additional votes
tabulated on a scale that relates to the number of Organization members paying dues to
United. Such additional votes shall be based on a sliding scale pursuant to Article 1 of the
membership provisions of the standard operating procedures as hereinafter set forth.
Such votes may be cast by a single delegate or cast by splitting the votes amongst 2
delegates of the Organization
provided that the delegate(s) attends the meeting in person
and are properly credentialed and seated at the meeting. Credentials can be proceedings
from formal Organization meetings, written confirmation by the member Organization as to
authority to represent, or other credentials as may be approved by Uniteds Board of
Directors. For these purposes an Organization in good standing is one which has paid its
dues to date.
Also, here is Article 9
Article 9
Section 1. Votes may only be cast if the delegate(s) attend the meeting in person.
Organizations are permitted to cast their votes by a single delegate representing such
Organization or by two (2) delegates representing such Organization, provided that said
Delegate(s) attend the meeting in person. No Organization may seat more than two (2)
delegates at any meeting of the membership.
Hope this helps explain things?

Thanks for the clarification...
U4WDA had our BOD meeting last night... I proposed that we send an alternate delegate to the AGM - to vote on the new by-laws since I can not attend this year (ironically... I was in Grand Junction last week - and will be there the 12-16th) We are working to have one of our board members that lives closer to GJ represent us - so they can drive in for the day's activities.

Thanks for working to get a delegate to the AGM.
As has been discussed on here, and in the delegates forums, this is an important change for UFWDA.
