|Increased student count leads to balanced budget
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
An increase in students in Holyoke School District Re-1J as of the Oct. 1 count, led to adoption of a balanced budget for 2009-2010 at the Nov. 17 meeting of the Re-1J Board of Education.
"It's really clear that having more kids makes a difference," said Supt. Bret Miles. Funded pupil count for the final budget was 580.5, up 16.5 students from the June estimates.
The final budget has $8,507 less expenditures than the preliminary budget adopted June 16. That leaves revenue after transfers equal to total expenditures in the amount of $5,073,120.
Board members authorized use of $96,644 from the 2009-10 beginning fund balance from the general fund for student count audit repayment and an emergency fiscal reserve to the Colorado Dept. of Education (CDE).
Education was cut $210 million, so a fiscal emergency reserve was set up so every school district would be hit with the same percentage, explained Miles. Holyoke's hit is $85,344.
The additional $11,300 fund balance use is for the CDE pupil count audit. This expense occurs every three to five years and is an unknown amount. "We did really well here," said Miles, noting out of four years' student counts, the district has been off less than two students.
Without an increase in students, the district would have been pulling $189,000 out of reserves, plus would be looking at a $92,583 deficit, according to June budget figures.
Use of revenue from bond redemption fund and Medicaid reimbursements was a factor for the balanced budget, as were AARA funds, which are helping fund at least one of the district's positions.
A fully-funded School Finance Act of 4.9 percent was a big plus, added Miles. "This budget gets us positioned very well for a tight budget cycle."
Miles highlighted drawbacks to the 2009-10 budget, in addition to the $96,644 payback. They include a Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA) increase of $25,754, health insurance increase passed on to employees, art teacher trade-off for fifth grade teacher and very low supply budgets.
Positive budget points are: salary steps funded at $45,694; $180,000 went towards capital projects even though there was no capital reserve fund; and ending fund balance targeted at $1.5 million in the preliminary budget is up to $1.592 million.
Budget appropriations for 2009-10 were adopted, as follows:
General Fund — $5,450,764
Bond Redemption — $440,852
Food Service — $187,024
Trust and Agency — $268,000
Activity Fund — $307,000
Total Appropriation — $6,653,640
Student count up for second straight year
Both the actual student count and the full-time equivalent count were up for the second straight year, changing a long-time trend of declining enrollment in the district.
Actual student count increased by 23 students from a year ago, to 631 on Oct. 1 this year.
Full-time equivalent students include kindergartners as half students and also allow some count for the preschool project slots and GED students.
This year's full-time equivalent count was up 19 from a year ago, to 580.5. This year, the district won't be averaging previous years' full-time equivalent counts, as the five-year average would be 575.2.
The 580.5 count was certified by the board for 2009-10 funding purposes.
From 2007-08 to 2008-09, the district saw a slight increase of 1.5 students in attendance, so this year's 23-student increase was of great significance.
Miles pointed out it's exciting to see the high student numbers in the elementary school. Additionally, next year's JR/SR High will be as large as it's been in a long time, with 55 incoming sixth graders and only 35 seniors graduating in 2010.
In addition to clear student count chart comparisons and budget information, the board also looked at district-wide demographics, ethnicity and free/reduced lunch eligibility charts.
Demographics note 63 percent of the district's students are white, 36 percent hispanic and one percent other.
In grades K-5, the hispanic student population is 41 percent, in grades 6-8 it's 40 percent and in grades 9-12 it's 26 percent.
Board members commented on the new finance formats, and Supt. Miles praised director of budget and finance Sharon Thompson for her effort in preparing the new forms.
"They're highly informative and chalk full of information," said board member Jeff Tharp. "It was very easy to follow through it," added Laura Krogmeier.
Board reorganizes
Kris Camblin, Kim Killin and Jeff Tharp started four-year terms following the Nov. 3 election date and took their oaths of office at the Nov. 17 meeting from retiring board president Kendon Olofson.
Olofson was then acknowledged by the board for his eight years of service.
In board reorganization, officer elections for the next two years resulted in Dan Kafka being named president; Jeff Tharp, vice president; Kris Camblin, treasurer; and Linda Jelden, secretary.
Signature authorization on the district's various bank accounts was approved, as well.
Board member committee representatives were reviewed, with a couple of changes to be considered. Appointments to district committees will be completed at the Dec. 1 meeting.
Jelden reports on Healthy School Summit
Jelden told the board about the Healthy School Summit she attended Nov. 6. Put on by the Colorado Legacy Foundation, the summit was well attended by 87 school districts.
Focusing on "Healthy Kids Learn Better," the summit included some good seminars, according to Jelden.
She said they addressed five areas of healthy kids and how those tie into student achievement. The areas include nutrition, physical activity, school health services, health education and workplace wellness.
Jelden pointed out some grants are available. Only school districts which attended the summit are eligible to apply for the grants.
Supt. Miles said the information will be shared with P.E. teachers for a first look at some of the ideas. Jelden added there are little changes which can be promoted in this district—changes that don't cost a lot of money.
Other business
In other business Nov. 17, the Re-1J Board:
—hired Maria Solis as assistant cook for the 2009-10 school year.
—accepted the resignation of elementary library aide Sara Drongesen.
—approved submission of Type V substitute teaching authorization in behalf of Amanda Houghtelling, Summer Struckmeyer and Alyssa Clark.
—approved second reading of revised policy exhibit pertaining to the superintendent evaluation instrument.
—heard board president Kafka's intent to have vice president Tharp involved with him and Supt. Miles in developing the board agenda to work towards better communication with the board and public.

1966 Ford Mustang Gets 9-inch Rear- Tough As Nails!Written by on May 1, 2009 If You Plan To Thrash Your Street Machine, It Pays To Build In Some Strength. This 9-Inch Rear With Parts From Chassisworks, Currie, And Eaton Will Handle It!
Street Fighter
Those who have experience building or racing cars know that the weakest link of your drivetrain can cost you dearly. Many hobbyists start out with modest intentions and under-build their cars, only to find that what they really want is something indestructible and worry-free. For the kind of abuse these cars get, it's no wonder that some guys are constantly chasing down problems and making temporary bandage fixes. This is not something we intend on doing with project Street Fighter. Our '66 Mustang coupe is being built to race and to flog out on the street. Every part we're using needs to be able to withstand the tortures of power and traction.
Our original six-cylinder Mustang rearend was not going to last one night with the 427ci stroker Smeding powerplant we've got in store for it; we had to go bigger and better for all parts that are going to see this dynamo's prodigious torque. With plans to use Chris Alston's Chassisworks' G-Bar rear suspension system (eliminating the leaf spring setup), we would be using Chassisworks' 9-inch housing as well. It came with all the necessary bracketry to attach their new four-link suspension, making the conversion complete. We got the housing powdercoated satin black at AR Powdercoating in Anaheim, California, which you can read more about in my column (see "The Last Word," page 98). Powdercoating is durable, good looking, and fairly inexpensive, making it a favorite option.
The bombproof guts of a Ford 9-inch are what really make it one of the strongest rear ends out there. A GM 12-bolt may be lighter and take less power to operate, but when it comes to setup tolerances, it's hard to beat a 9-inch. Among the biggest checks in the "plus" column is the option of having one or more alternate carrier assemblies (or third members) with different gear ratios or differentials. These can be easily swapped track-side or in your garage in just an hour or two. When it comes to building and setting up a 9-inch rear, few outfits have more experience than the pros at Currie Enterprises, and that's where we went to help us get this rear end together.
The type of driving you intend to do with your project car determines the type of carrier and what gear ratio you want. For our application, we chose a Detroit TrueTrac posi. This posi doesn't use clutches like most, but rather a set of gears that seamlessly apply the power to both wheels under load. A smooth operation was very important to us, since we will be driving the car on the autocross and the road course. The Mustang will constantly undergo load changes--so the traction needs to be predictable, and the TrueTrac provides that in spades. We chose a 3.25:1 gear ratio to give us a little more speed in each gear. If your power is in the higher-rpm range, you may want to choose a numerically higher gear, such as 3.50:1 or 3.70:1, to get you into that power sooner. Currie uses gears by Midwest Motive in all their assemblies, and they have proven strong enough for the drag racers, rock crawlers, and road racers they service. To go along with the built-tough theme, we chose a 1330 yoke over its original 1310 model.
The last decision to make is what to use for rear brakes. Many cars can get away with drum brakes in the rear; for street driving and drag racing, there isn't much need for a ton of rear brake. In fact, that's the option editor Hunkins selected for his '68 Chevelle, which sees more dragstrip use than road course abuse. Our Mustang, however, will need some major braking back there. We chose a matching set of Wilwood's 13-inch rotors to go with our fronts, and four-piston Superlight calipers. These brakes are fitted with an internal parking brake drum, so you can still park on hills without worry.
With all the parts chosen, we needed to get it all together. The guys at Currie walked us through, step by step, on how to put together a rear end that is built to last. Currie's assembly experts, Rueben and Gonsalo, have built rear ends for over 15 years collectively, and they make it look so easy. Here's what you can expect to do when you assemble your indestructible 9-inch rear.
|Wilwood rear brake kit
|Chassisworks Fab 9 housing
|Currie 31-spline axle package
|Currie installation kit and hardware
|Powdercoat housing
|Midwest Motive 3.25:1 gearset
|Eaton TrueTrac posi
|Currie Sportsman 9-inch case
|Currie 1330 yoke
|3 quarts (non-synthetic) gear oil

Once you've selected a 9-inch housing, the first step is to measure for axles. For a reference measurement, Currie uses the third-member bolt just above the axle centerline as a reliable index point, and takes the measured length from there to the axle flange at the end of the tube.The Fab 9 housing from Chassisworks doesn't come with the third- member bolts installed, so you'll need to thread these in from the rear. Some required a little bit of grinding to clear.Currie will build your axles to the length you need, but you'll have the option of either installing them yourself, or having Currie set up and build the rearend for you ($223 total; $124 to set up the third member, and $99 to install the third member and axles in the housing). If you do it yourself, the first thing you'll do is press the studs in with a press. I've used a nut to pull them in, but I don't really recommend that unless you're in a pinch. You'll want to make sure to order studs that will fit your brakes and wheels before proceeding. These -inch studs are three inches long, were included in the Currie axle package, and will work fine on the Street Fighter Mustang.Here we are at another hydraulic press--get the feeling that one of these is kind of important for setting up a rear? This time, the bearings need to be pressed into the carrier. After the gear is bolted on and torqued to spec, you'll need to install the bearings with a hydraulic press. This procedure is included in Currie's setup charge.The Currie pinion support comes with the bearing races already installed. We pressed the inner pinion bearing on with a solid spacer rather than a crush sleeve. The outer bearing is then slid on and the pinion nut installed to check for the correct pinion gear preload. When that is satisfactory, the yoke is removed to install the seal, and then is reinstalled.Here, Rueben, the assemblyman at Currie, adjusts the side load on the bearings. He does this step all by feel. His accuracy will be tested when backlash is measured!To check backlash, you install the caps over the bearing adjusters, and get them tight. While pushing in and out on the gear, read the dial to make sure it's within spec.Since the backlash was within spec (way to go, Rueben!), he torqued the caps down and installed the lock clips that fit into holes on the adjuster. Also, now the pinion bolts can be torqued.Before dropping the third member onto the housing, apply a steady 1/8-inch bead of silicone sealant to the housing surface around the perimeter of the bolts, and then around each bolt. Currie uses a gasket on top of that with a second bead of sealant on it. We guided the third member down with a hoist, but if you don't have a hoist, have a friend help you--these things are heavy.
The final check for proper clearances and alignment is to paint the gears with a special lapping paint. We painted a section of the teeth on the ring gear and spun the pinion gear. The best way to do this is to use an impact gun on the pinion nut. Adjustments on the outer bearings and shim under the pinion can adjust this wear pattern.The third member may need some persuasion over the studs, so use a soft-faced mallet to force it down, then torque the bolts to spec in a star pattern, the same as with the wheels.Our next step was to install the brakes. There are four anchor bolts on each bearing housing end; they have a long head that rests up against the axle tube to keep them from spinning. The Wilwood backing plate and bracket slip over these studs. Note the brake shoes for the internal parking brake assembly.When the axle bearings get pressed on, remember to keep the axle retainer trapped between the axle face and bearings. You don't want to redo that step! Slip the axle into the housing and guide the plate onto the studs.Here is the tricky part: You will need to get the axle retainer nuts started, and you won't have any room to fit your finger and thumb around them. Once they are on, torque them to spec through the hole in the axle's face.

Sports Illustrated has named us as having the 8th worst uniforms in the Nation.
Uniform "debate", take 130! :)
You think #8 is bad, wait until they bring back the gold pants baby.
One thing about Chizik, he won't stop until we're number 1.

Its a good action picture of Bret Meyer. Too bad it appears he is running for his life.
- keep.
This post is pending approval of site sponsors.
The only ones I really agree with are 1 & 2. Of course you have to admit, Oregon keeps the press up with those unis. I guess they believe any press is good press.
They must have something against red on red - Utah is in there as well. And how do you put Deleware in there, and not Michigan - the shade of blue?
I'm guessing they put Delaware in because they may have copied Michigan.
But we have the toughest mascot in the nation! Who cares how we look as long as Cy can kick everyone else in the pills!
Send the link to JP. Everyone knows how much he hates negative rep.
I double-dog-dare SI to put up an online vote for the "Best College Football Uniforms In the Nation" and see if this #8 ranking holds up.
What kind of fruitcake sits around and ranks the fashion of football uniforms?
I suppose the winners of the best uniforms were wearing loafers, a matching belt and a pink tutu with accents.
Kinda funny, since the only ones I really dislike are Clemson's and Oregon's. I especially don't think Utah nor ISU belong on that list (could easily be replaced with Missouri or Miami)...
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
I actually like Clemson's uniform, Utah's aren't bad, and at least Oregon's color scheme matches to some extent.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?

Charlie Porter Dies
Porter was born in Massachusetts in 1951, and by the early 1970s was one of America's leading rock climbers. Notably, he made the first ascent, solo, of Zodiac in 1972 on El Cap. That same year he also established the iconic Shield, and the next year followed up with first ascents of Mescalito and Tangerine Trip, a line that was then the steepest on El Cap. In 1975, Porter put up Excalibur using an innovative bong-and-wood-block sandwich to overcome the route's lengthy section of flaring six-inch crack. This in an era before the invention of cams and most gear that we now take for granted.
Besides pioneering hard and big routes on El Cap during a time even before the reign of Jim Bridwell, Porter was one of the first and few Valley climbers to take his trade to larger arenas. Most famously, he soloed Baffin Island's Mount Asgard, crossing glaciers with a long pole lashed to his pack to catch him in the event he fell into a crevasse. It took him a month just to ferry in his supplies, which included a wood-framed "Whillans Box" that he hauled up the wall to live in. At one point during his nine-day solo, Porter, caught in a snowstorm, had to lick ice off his Jumars to get them to grip the rope. His 1975 Asgard route, at 40 pitches, was the world's first Grade VII wall, and ended in a 10-day foodless walk on feet so frostbitten he had to cut his boots open, out to his extraction point in a fjord.
Not content to climb just rock, Porter, in 1976, made the first solo of the Cassin Ridge on Denali, climbing the bulk of the route in a continuous 36-hour push. In Canada, he, with Bugs McKeith, made the first ascent of big waterfall ice route Polar Circus.
Shunning the limelight—he refused to provide the AAJ with any details of his Cassin solo, for example— Porter largely kept to himself and continued a life of adventure beyond climbing. He kayaked around Cape Horn, and remains one of the few people to have done so.
In 2001, Porter, a scientist by trade, was profiled in the New York Times.

1947 Mercury convertible - A Merc Drop-TopWritten by Eric Geisert on October 1, 2010 Harry Hartkemeyer's '47 Mercury Convertible
In an odd twist, the day this story was written, the fate of one of the most iconic car brands in history, Mercury, was also being written. Started by Edsel Ford in 1939 as a midlevel line of vehicles between the Ford and Lincoln divisions, it was announced Mercury would cease automotive production due to dwindling sales. It's a sad commentary on today's car market, as the once-popular division of Ford has created some of the best-looking vehicles (the '39 and '49 coupe, the '54 Monterey, and even the Cougar) the country has ever seen.
Harry Hartkemeyer, from Cincinnati, is certainly a fan of the marque, as he owns this '47 Mercury convertible, but he also owned a '50 and '51 Merc back in the late '50s when he was a teenager. Over the years he's owned a handful of lookers, including a nice '53 Buick custom in the early '90s as well as a '48 Pontiac, which he still owns and drives today. But Mercurys have always had a place in his heart, so when he decided to go through a 1947 Merc convertible six years ago, he had a vision of what he wanted. And though at a quick glance his Merc may not appear to be anything more than a nice stocker, upon closer inspection you'll see there is a lot more to the story.
Doing all the work on the car except the paint, the 71-year-old started with a stock chassis, adding an independent suspension system from Total Cost Involved Engineering as a well as a set of 11-inch disc brakes. The rear suspension was dialed in around a Ford 9-inch (3.00:1) and a Posies spring, plus another set of 11-inch rotors. The red 15-inch Wheel Vintiques steelies, which are wrapped in Coker 205/75 and 215/75 rubber, are topped with a classic cap 'n' ring combo.
Extra body trim was one of the design differences between the Mercury and Ford line of vehicles, and Harry chose to keep all of the exterior pieces intact on his hot rod. PPG red paint (PN 1677) was applied to the outside by Mike Krummen of Cincinnati for a seminal hot rod appearance, and the convertible received a new tan top from McHenry Upholstery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
McHenry also covered the Lincoln Mark VIII bucket seats with tan Ultra Leather, which makes for a nice contrast to the red 'n' chrome used elsewhere in the interior. Large-face Classic Instruments gauges (speedo and clock) are found on both sides of the stock chrome speaker grille while four smaller gauges were installed to the left of the ididit column, which itself is topped with a two-tone Lecarra steering wheel. Other dash items include a Kenwood stereo system, Vintage Air controls, and a power window setup from Nu-Relics, all wired up using Ron Francis wiring components.
As subtle and nice as the exterior and interior of Harry's Merc is, the same can also be said of what's under the hood. Not a hopped-up Flathead, but rather an '01 4.6L Ford modular Police Interceptor V-8, with 360 available horses, was bolted in along with its stock overdrive transmission. Harry says the wiring for the electronic motor "was a chore" to figure out, but Street & Performance was able to help him out with his wiring harness. Simple additions, like the stainless steel exhaust, BBK valve covers, and a Griffin radiator were all made, and the air cleaner/cover was color matched to the car and then pinstriped by Tim McComas from Brush Works, Lines, and Lettering (also in Cincinnati).
Harry already has 10,000 miles rolled up on the car's odometer, and doesn't see any problems with recording a few thousand more. He says, "They're no good unless you drive 'em." We'd have to agree and, perhaps if Mercury still made cars that looked as great as Harry's 63-year-old convertible, the company might have survived.

Not what you expected? An '01 4.6L Ford Modular two-valve Police Interceptor motor with 360 hp was slid into the engine compartment and topped with a custom air cleaner/cover. Not a lot of extras here either: just a Griffin radiator, BBK valve covers, and a stainless steel exhaust. The trans is a stock overdrive.This is a sharp-looking car-top up or down. The manual top is covered in tan material, installed by McHenry Upholstery (the same folks who did the Ultra Leather interior). Mike Krummen painted the car with PPG red PN 1677, and Tim McComas from Brush Works, Lines, and Lettering did the graphic work (engine cover and glovebox).Though the exterior of the convertible wasn't altered from its factory look, the chassis is another story. Starting with a stock frame, Harry added an independent front suspension from Total Cost Involved Engineering as well as 11-inch disc brakes. Out back a 9-inch Ford rearend (3.00:1) was installed with a Posies spring, and the car rolls on 15-inch Wheel Vintiques wheels wrapped in Coker 205/75R15 and 215/75R15 rubber. The addition of a Tanks stainless steel gas tank rounds out the chassis build.Lots of chrome on a '47 Merc dash, and Harry added the Classic Instrument gauges after wiring everything up (Kenwood stereo included) with a Ron Francis wiring system. The owner also enjoys the power windows from Nu-Relics and steers the convertible via a Lecarra wheel bolted to an ididit column. The seats are from a Lincoln Mark VIII, and are covered in Ultra Leather, stitched up by McHenry Upholstery. Under the carpet, LizardSkin insulation was applied.

Washington : Michelin's recommendations
Unlike other world capitals, Washington developed at the outset as the capital of a democratic nation. Its broad avenues and regal monuments serve as visual paeans to the democratic ideal, and the city abounds with memorial tributes to the titans of American history: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and others. The monumental Capital, the broad National Mall lined with outstanding public museums, the dignified memorials and the White House are all enhanced by lovely green spaces befitting the city's role as a place of pilgrimage that delights Americans young and old, and a growing number of foreign visitors as well.

College basketball player rankings: Sporting News' top 10 small forwardsncaab June 19, 2013 1:50pm EDT June 12, 2013 2:35pm EDT Andrew Wiggins has yet to play a collegiate basketball game, yet we know this — he's the best small forward the college game has right now. Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy ranks the 10 best small forwards for 2013-14.
In college basketball, there is one truth that holds above all: no frontcourt player wants to be a center; every frontcourt player wants to be a small forward.
In reality, the average college basketball team doesn't even use a frontcourt player in this position. There are no handy stats for this, but it would seem most college programs use a third guard rather than a true small forward. There are far more Sam Thompsons out there—excluding the comic-book-style leaping ability, of course—than there are Sam Dekkers.
More and more college programs try to placate the would-be small forwards by playing them as face-up power forwards—or "stretch-4s", as the basketball people call them. The majority of the players ranked here might function better in that spot, and if so there might be room in these rankings for Oregon's promising Damyean Dotson, Indiana's Will Sheehey, Memphis' Geron Johnson, or Washington's C.J. Wilcox.
But we ranked all of those who expect to begin as small forwards at this position. There is some great talent on this list. How many great small forwards, we'll have to see.
2 1. Andrew Wiggins, freshman, Kansas
The beautiful thing about Andrew Wiggins is we don't even have to think about this. He'll so obviously be one of the top college basketball players this season. He will need to transition to playing in college, and as a college small forward, and neither is a snap. But he is so uncommonly gifted that we have little reason to doubt it will work. So many of those ranked below Wiggins have talent but are either confronting position or role changes (and, in one case, the law). Wiggins will find a way to be a star. Count on that.
3 P.J. Hairston, junior, North Carolina
Oh, P.J. You are a conundrum. It wouldn't be entirely painful to exclude you from this list entirely, because there is the possibility your recent arrest might result in you not playing at all in 2013-14. And yet if you do play there is the stronger possibility you will blossom into one of the best at your position, a player whose toughness and perimeter shooting skill lead to All-America results.
4 Rodney Hood, sophomore, Duke
When you watched Hood play at Mississippi State, it sometimes appeared as though he were a perfect player. He was always in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. And that was with Renardo Sidney as his teammate! Imagine what Hood will become playing with guys who are in shape and committed to the game. Hood ranked only fifth in shots per minute at MSU, which suggests he might have been used more judiciously. Don't expect Mike Krzyzewski to make the same mistake.
MORE: Coach K expects ACC to be game's best-ever league
5 Glenn Robinson, sophomore, Michigan
There is so much to love about Robinson as a player and a prospect, but there are some serious questions about what sort of small forward he will be. Michigan occasionally was limited last season by Robinson's lack of size inside, and he wants to make the transition to the perimeter to develop as an NBA prospect, so that's where he's likely to be most of the time. But if he's going to make this work, Robinson will have to improve his confidence and accuracy as a perimeter shooter. And he'll have to be better able to attack defenses off the bounce. This is not a lock to succeed, no matter what the mock drafts may suggest at the moment.
6 Aaron Gordon, freshman, Arizona
Here's what we share in common with Wildcats coach Sean Miller: We're not entirely sure where to put Gordon, but we are certain he has so much ability it might not matter. Gordon wants to be a small forward. He's probably not ready for it at the college level. Ideally he'd play as a stretch-4 in college and make the transition in the NBA. But Arizona already has Brandon Ashley to play power forward, so the need isn't great. It makes sense to give Gordon his wish and see if he can make this work. Gordon has a nice shooting touch and is an athlete so rare he draws reasonable comparisons to Blake Griffin. Those two qualities don't entirely solve the problem, but they're a start.
7 Alex Poythress, sophomore, Kentucky
We all know how disappointing Poythress' freshman season was for the Wildcats, how John Calipari frequently challenged him to play with greater maturity, how many times Poythress found himself stewing on the bench. Would it surprise you to know that even with all that, Poythress still averaged 11.2 points and 6.0 rebounds and shot 58 percent from the floor? Those numbers were almost by accident. What if he returns for his second season with confidence and wisdom and a better sense of how to impact the game from the perimeter?
8 Sam Dekker, sophomore, Wisconsin
The toughest part of evaluating a Wisconsin player is judging how his role will be altered from year to year. There's no doubting Dekker is the most complete offensive player to play for the Badgers since Devin Harris. Alando Tucker had a great senior year, but Dekker is more athletic, more versatile, more dangerous. He's a dynamite long-range shooter and a dunker capable of this. He's honestly a more proven, functional small forward than anyone on this list save Hairston. So if he winds up as a second-team All-American, it won't be a shock at all.
9 Jerami Grant, sophomore, Syracuse
We consider ourselves charter members of the Jerami Grant fan club. When Jim Boeheim inevitably starts acting this season like all of the media were late to the party on recognizing his ability, show him this story. Or, for that matter, this ranking. Grant's combination of athleticism, skill and work ethic made him a prospect; the opportunity to grab a larger role now that James Southerland is gone for good will lead him in the direction of excellence.
10 Luke Hancock, senior, Louisville
No one else on this list has been the Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four. Hancock showed he is willing to play big at the biggest moments, and we expect no less from him as the Cardinals attempt to defend their NCAA championship. It's also true he scored only 27 points combined in the team's first four tournament games. So the question is whether the Cards will require him to be a high-level option, or once again someone who accepts his role and plays heroically when there's no other choice. If it's the latter, we'll regret not ranking IU's Will Sheehey.
11 T.J. Warren, sophomore, NC State
The problem for Warren is the possibility he'll be something like this year's Erick Green—a player who puts up huge numbers on a struggling squad. State has lost so much of what made it an NCAA Tournament team last season. Warren should have the stage all to himself, but it's possible the Pack will be staging their show far off Broadway.

Goodguys 13th Colorado Nationals - Cruisin' To ColoradoWritten by on September 20, 2010 The Goodguys 13th Colorado Nationals
All of the Goodguys gatherings are great, but there's just something about the Colorado Nationals in Loveland that makes me count it as one of my favorite events of the season.
For the last dozen years or so I've been wingin' (I'd rather be drivin' but deadlines won't allow it) across the country covering various Goodguys shows. This year, I again had the good fortune to start my travel season by covering the Goodguys Colorado Nationals (June 4-6). It was my second time covering this event-and I really do enjoy my time there! Upon my return and reflection, the Colorado gathering is perhaps one of the best regional Goodguys shows I'm lucky enough to attend. The trucks and cars were knock-your-socks-off gorgeous (as usual), and the people perhaps the nicest I've ever had the pleasure to meet (though I say that every year, and I really do mean it).
The gathering was again at The Ranch at Larimer County Fairgrounds (a really nice venue, by the way), and it featured well over 2,000 classic trucks, hot rods, customs, classics, and muscle cars through '72. There were a great variety of vendor and exhibitor booths, a good-sized swap meet for automotive related parts, a car corral with a bunch of potential projects for sale, and the awesome Street Challenge Autocross event. Like all Goodguys get-togethers, there's also lots of fun available for the whole family, plus lots of entertainment all weekend long! Also, like most Goodguys gatherings there was a great kickoff party-this time held Thursday afternoon at Pinkee's Rod Shop. The Pinkee's staff went all out with food, beverages, live music, and a great open house so everyone could check out the awesome projects (both complete and in progress), truly a great way to kick off a wonderful weekend.
As I stated earlier, the trucks were awesome and the people great. In fact, I'm still not sure which I enjoyed more-checking out the classic trucks or bench racin' and shootin' the bull with the attendees! No matter, the Goodguys Colorado Nationals is great all around, and I'm really hoping I'm able to include the event again in next year's schedule! And, if you're not a regular attendee I'd really suggest adding the Goodguys Colorado Nationals to your 2011 event schedule-you'll be glad you did, take my word for it!

Though the fairground is a great venue for a truck/car show it's a bit limited when it comes to cruisin'. That said, (that one's for you Geoff) folks put that limited amount of area to good use and proudly made multiple circuits around the grounds all weekend.Don't let that Texas plate fool ya, Dave Hill's beautiful '50 Chevy calls Ridgway, Colorado, home-that is for the time being anyway ... Hill not only brought his pride and joy to the Goodguys show to spend the weekend having fun, but also with the intention of possibly finding this baby a new owner and home. I wonder if any lucky soul took him up on his offer?Darran Conrad's beautiful '65 C-10 panel really caught our eye. He's owned this baby for years and over that time not only restored its massive metalwork into flawless shape but packed the engine compartment with a muscular LS1/4L60E combo as well.Ethan Conyers' way-cool '70 Ford is a rather rare bird in the classic truck world. It's not that there are not a lot of 'em around; it's just that they're just beginning to gain a bit of the popularity they deserve. By the way, this Ranger XLT is powered by a massive 390-cube FE motor backed by a beefy C6.Ben Watson approached his rodstoration project a bit differently than most. Instead of refurbishing his F-1's chassis and driveline he opted to restore the pickup's sheetmetal and then mate it to a donor chassis, Hemi engine, and trans from a '04 Dodge Durango! Talk about a sleeper-this baby sports plenty of power and a comfy late-model ride as well!Kelly Swanson made his way from Greeley, Colorado, to the show behind the wheel of his Pro Touring-inspired '68 C-10. This impressive ride sports a healthy 383-stroker backed by a beefed TH400, as well as more than its fair share of attitude.There must be something in the water over in Greeley, because there are an awful lot of cool commercials rollin' out of that town. Keith Kallsen Jr.'s way-cool '60 F-100 is one heck of a neat driver, the only thing I think is wrong with it though is the fact that my name's not on the title.The Goodguys 13th Colorado Nationals<br> As is the case with most (if not all) Goodguys gatherings the swap meet was chock-full of cool components and hard-to-find bits and pieces. If you look close enough you're liable to find nearly anything you might be looking for-including complete trucks and some great project fodder.
The show wasn't filled with traditional-style trucks only. A great example of the quality of contemporary commercials is Greg and Julie Panosh's cutting-edge '53 Chevy. The couple's fantastic five-window is powered by an equally contemporarily dressed 496-cube big-block backed by a TH400 automatic.Heck, even the so-called Car Corral had some nice classic trucks for sale too. This is the way to go for those of us who don't have the time or the inclination to build one from the ground up.And now for something completely different ... How's a pristine '72 Chevy C-40 custom grab ya? I can honestly say this was a first for me-but one I really enjoyed checking out. Mike Marchich displayed his talents by restoring this 427-cube/Allison automatic-powered big boy much to the delight of lots of admirers-me included.As you might have noticed, I've got a thing for black suede. Well, we all have our weaknesses and mine just happens to be non-glare finishes. That said (another one for ya, Geoff), Justin Gurule's neat black and red '68 C-10 sure got my attention.Here's another classic truck I see too few examples of. Don Reynolds' flat-front '66 A-100 is a body style (as is Ford's E-100 Econoline) that really turns my crank, so to speak. I've owned more than one Econoline in my day but have never had the opportunity to get my hands on an A-100. Reynolds' baby sports a powerful 360/727 combo as well as a near flawless finish and lots of attention to detail.Speakin' of trucks I'd like to see in my driveway ... Bill Sykes' bitchin '52 F-1 fits my tastes perfectly-black suede, cream accents, and some cool old-school pinstriping are the perfect touches for a no-nonsense hot rod pickup. Nice ride Bill.When it comes to classic trucks I can't pass up the many street rod trucks that are present at all Goodguys gatherings. Though they're a bit out-of-bounds yearwise for full coverage in CLASSIC TRUCKS (don't ask me why, because I don't know) I'm not about to pass 'em by when it comes to show coverage. Jerry Smith's beautiful '34 Ford closed-cab is a great example of a traditional-style hot rod-right down to its white tuck 'n' roll, Merc hubcaps, and dirt track-style nerfs.Rick and Patty Thomas' '64 C-10 shortbed Fleetside is one of my favorite trucks of the show, and I can't believe I had to travel to the Denver area to see a cool classic truck that's home is but 40 miles from my own down in SoCal! The Hesperia, California, based Chevy ain't no slouch either-Rick has stuffed the engine compartment with 572 cubes of pure muscle and then backed it with a fully massaged TH400 and a Dana 60 rearend. Keep your eyes peeled for a full-on color feature on this baby in the near future!You don't run across many GMCs these days, and even fewer that are as nice as Alonzo Mestas' eye searing yellow '53. This Finest Five pick has been treated to a complete rodstoration including a fully powdercoated frame equipped with a Mustang II-style IFS, an 8-inch Ford rear held in place with four-bar/coilover rear suspension. Budnik billet wheels, a ZZ4 small-block/TH350 combination, and four-wheel disc brakes are just some of the upgrades this cool GMC has received.
Some of you may recall seeing Jerry Schwab and Rona Pantano's '58 F-100 as a feature truck in a past issue of CLASSIC TRUCKS (though to be honest I didn't)-but I sure didn't miss it this weekend! The couples eye-catching Ford has been in the family since it was purchased new back in '58. The original frame has been updated with a Heidts IFS setup, four-wheel disc brakes, and a muscular 351 Windsor. This Finest Five pick was built as a tribute to Rona's father, Rocco Pantano, and we're sure he approves of the couple's efforts even more than we do.Not only did Jim and Sue Lamb's Fort Collins, Colorado, based flamed and 426 Hemi-powered '56 F-100 garner a prestigious Finest Five pick but unfortunately it qualified for a Hard Luck Award as well. You see Jim had built this fine F-100 years ago and has driven the wheels nearly off of it during that time-well, on his way to the winner's circle on Sunday morning the huge Hemi decided that it needed some attention so it grenaded its harmonic balancer. Bad timing to say the least, but the couple took it in strides and rather than spend the afternoon hangin' out with fellow Finest Five winners they fixed up that Hemi instead.Josh and Shawna Carlson's over-the-top, full-custom '55 Chevy is a shoo-in for a Finest Five pick if there ever was one. Josh performed a myriad of custom touches himself in his home shop, including pancaking and radiusing the hood, rounding all the door corners, shaving the driprails and door handles, and fabricating countless other portions of the truck-including its awesome floating grille bar. He also integrated the exhaust tips into the bedside steps, and designed and fabricated the custom bed assembly with its electrically powered motorized trunk, which rises up from the cargo box. This is one truck I could go on and on about, but instead of doing that here I'll save it for a future full-on color feature, so stay tuned.

Caribbean is our entry level swimming pool and great choice for those looking for a high quality long lasting pool with minimum investment. Caribbean is a solid durable pool with minimal bells and whistles but strong in the important areas that count. Add a heavy duty liner and base equipment pack for a pool that will last decades. In fact I have seen this exact model last 20 years!
Caribbean is a great choice for those building a deck around their pool. No need to pay for buttress free oval design or resin top rails that will never be seen. That savings can go toward deck materials or pool accessories.
This American made pool is produced by the largest above ground pool makers in the world and is a bargain compared to many other economically priced brands. We have been in the pool business for almost 30 years and can honestly say that this pool will typically last twice as long as the similarly priced imported models. Imported pools are very thin and flimsy, in fact there is 50lbs. less steel in the average 24' pool. This should be enough reason to buy American!
Key Features: All steel construction, galvanized and coated for great rust protection. 52" wall height, 6" wide top ledges, large wide mouth skimmer opening, 30 year warranty. Traditional buttress side supports. Many sizes available.
Advantages: Low cost, Long lasting pool, Great for decks, 30 year warranty.
Salt Systems: Caribbean pool is not warrantied for use with a salt system, however we have run a salt system on this model for years without any signs of additional corrosion.
Round Pools: Round pools have no side supports and take up only a few more inches than their advertised size. Example: A 24' pool takes up about 24' 6" in total space. Round pools are less expensive than oval shaped pools because there are far fewer pieces and less steel required to construct them. Round pools are much easier to install than oval pools. It takes a professional twice as long to install an oval pool as it does a similarly sized round pool. Because of double the work to install the oval pool, the cost to hire an installer is about double as well. Round pools are easy to install on a flat hard surface like a concrete slab or patio but the slab must be level.
Round Pool Pros: Price is much cheaper the similarly sized oval pool. Ease of installation. Installs on easily on concrete or other hard surfaces.
Oval Pools: All oval pools have some sort of buttress or side support system to keep the straight sides up and straight. There are two basic designs, traditional buttress and buttress free. Caribbean pool uses traditional buttress design. Traditional buttress design takes up the largest amount of yard space as the braces or support beams stick out almost three feet on each side and only on the straight sides. This design uses the least amount of steel and therefore the most economical. You cannot leave these support off during installation.
If space is at a premium you should consider moving up to a buttress free model pool. Buttress free side supports stick out about a foot and a half per side and have a much sleeker appearance. If you are planning a deck that encompasses the pool or you won't see the buttresses, Caribbean may be the money saving model for you.
Oval pools are not recommended for installation on concrete or other hard surface. Their design requires the concrete to be cut or trenched in several places for proper installation. This is typically more trouble than it's worth, however it can be done.
Oval Pool Pros: Desirable traditional oval pool shape, fit nicely into narrow spaces.
Caribbean can be buried partially into the earth. We all know that most backyards and other installation sites are not always level. It is not uncommon to see pools partially in the ground because of a sloped yard etc. If you wish to bury your pool 2+ feet down into the ground, than the Bermuda LX is the pool for you.
When installing a pool in your backyard be sure to remove all vegetation before installation. You can install directly onto the soil, but sand may be better if the earth is hard or rocky. It is never recommended to use carpet, foam, plastic sheeting, roofing paper or some other material under the pool liner. If you like or need additional protection like most people, be sure to use a breathable material to allow moisture or condensation to escape or risk premature corrosion. You should use Armor Shield or Gorilla Pad for this. These pool liner protectors will prevent punctures due to sharp objects like glass and protect from critters like mole, groundhogs and insects. Armor Shield also extends the warranty on your new pool liner. Do not use sand or earth under the liner if installing on concrete as rains will wash it away. Always use Armor Shield pool floor protection and always use the preformed pool base cove when installing on concrete like surfaces. If you do not, you run the risk of puncturing your new vinyl liner.
Self Installation: Most above ground swimming pools are installed by the consumer. To help guide you through the process, each pool comes with an installation DVD as well as a paper instruction booklet. The instruction manuals are available for viewing under the "Resources" tab for each corresponding pool model.
Most importantly, PoolsAboveGround.com has 30 years experience with swimming pool installations. We share our knowledge, experience and advise with all of our customers, and offer unlimited assistance and support throughout your installation process. If you have questions, we have the best answers.
Professional Installation: PoolsAboveGround.com no longer installs pools directly, although we have a recommended installer database that my be of assistance in locating a professional. Because of the vast size of this country, it may be hard to find you an installer through our network. In that case we recommend searching your local Craigslist or classified ads for pool installers. Another great resource is local pool stores. Even if the stores do not sell pools they often know of installers in that area. Lastly there is the yellow pages and super pages. These too can be useful for finding the help your are looking for.

Try Again On Manchin-Toomey
April 23, 2013
At another time, in a different context, Sen. Joe Manchin might have been successful in a proposal he and three other senators offered last week....
Joe, hang it up and shut up about this. Absolutely nothing in your bill would have changed anything that happened in Colorado or Connecticut. Start beating on ATF,FBI and associated agencies why there are so few indictments under the existing laws.

GETACLUE "the NRA is a TERRORIST ORGANIZATION."
...with 4.5 MILLION American citizens as members. You'd better call Homeland Security about that cell, Clueless.

It's too bad you did not apply for a permit to post ridiculous free speech on this board. You are encouraging violence by making false statements. I encourage you to research the definition of "terrorist organization" and then post an apology.
As for Hooplehead-apparently, Hooplehead is sad that we live in a Constitutional Republic. Hooplehead would rather have mob rule, where 51 people can vote to steal wealth, and rights, from the other 49.
In a Constitutional Republic, all 100 have equal rights and even if 99 people get together and pass feel good laws, these 99 cannot take rights away from the single 1.

Only a liberal would support this bill. Do you know that this bill permitted your doctor to enter your information into the national background check database (used to see if you can buy a gun, legally) if you were prescribed ANTI-DEPRESSANTS? Did you know that he could do it WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE?
Guns or lax gun laws are not to blame for Newton, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Arizona or any other shooting. PEOPLE are to blame. Specifically, the people who claim to be parents but then ignore their primary responsibilities-guidance and discipline.
The lobbies don't want you to think this, though. Instead, they blame the NRA (which doesn't seem to get a great many candidates elected), Citizens United (which leveled the playing field against the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold) and George Bush.

Truth is, this legislation is just feel good legislation. It will not prevent another Newtown or make our streets any safer.
But, the truth doesn't matter anymore.

I agree. Manchin and Toomey had a good doable bill, but the fanatics of the NRA dangling their purses full of money in front of the corruptible senators, killed the bill. If Manchin would better explain his bill, I believe he could get it passed.

This current batch of Senate republicans are an embarassment to American history. It now takes 60 or more votes to pass anything and that has never happened in our 237 years. The money being poured into the pockets of our legislators, both sides here, is at the highest levels in our 237 year history. The Supreme Court decision called citizens united has made a mockery of democracy. Money means more than the will of the people. We now, in one year, have more filibusters than our entire past history. We can thank the republicans for these positions of obstructionism and taking the will of Americans and tossing it into the garbage can.

Why try again? The real liars are in the government. They are misleading Americans into thinking that closing loopholes in gun sales is going to prevent another mass murder like the one in Sandy Hook. LIARS. All we get from our law makers is lies. They lied about the "no call list". They lied about Obama Care. They lied about Iraq. LIES LIES LIES !!!

Smorgasbord of Prime-Time Mom Fodder.
by Meredith O'Brien
Okay everybody, a few, disparate items are on the moms in pop culture & politics agenda this week, so grab your coffee mug (or martini glass or wine glass, whatever floats your boat while you peruse the Mommy Tracked web site):
Suburban Marital Misery?
The other night my husband and I went to see Date Night, the comedy starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey who play a suburban couple with two young kids who are bored out of their minds by their tedious suburban life. This is how the movie's web site described Carell and Fey's characters who have a regular date night each week (that's more date nights than I have) at the same local tavern: "Their conversations quickly drift from barely-date talk to the same chore-chat they have at the dinner table at home. Exhausted from their jobs and kids, their dates rarely end in fore- or any other kind of play, let alone romance."
Bleak, eh? As the husband and I chuckled uncomfortably at the scene where the kids appeared in their parents' bedroom and pounced on them, at the work-induced fatigue that often makes parents of young kids want to curl up on the sofa with the TV remote instead of putting on fresh clothes and make-up to go out, I thought, "Is this what middle class, suburban marriages are -- at least as far as the movie is concerned -- so boring and dreary that you have to have a wild night involving inadvertent criminal mayhem, guns, car chases and other dangerous madness in order to feel like you have a pulse?"
Just before the movie began, the tone was set with the new trailer for Sex and the City 2 which made it look as though the bloom was off the rose a mere two years into the marriage between Carrie and Mr. Big. I couldn't help but wonder: "What the heck's going on out there? They live in the city and don't even HAVE kids to suck the energy out of their sex life."

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The top two scorers in the NBA engaged in a
Christmas Day duel, but Kobe Bryant got the best of Carmelo Anthony this time
Bryant had 34 points and the Los Angeles Lakers avenged a loss to the Knicks
earlier this month with a 100-94 triumph.
New York routed Los Angeles, 116-107, on Dec. 13, but the Lakers were without
Steve Nash and Pau Gasol. It was Los Angeles' last loss as it has bounced back
with a season-high five-game winning streak.
Anthony equaled Bryant with 34 points for New York, which has dropped three of
its last five contests to drop to 20-8 on the campaign.

I would like to ask you if there is a way how to implement more than one smtp servers so that I could set up more email accounts under web interface with different smtp servers. Until now if I set up more accounts, copy of sent items goes to the Sent Items Box under the default email account not to the Sent Items Box of the sender.
Does Zimbra plan to bring a solution of this problem?
I tried to use that both in ZCS 7.2 and ZCS 8.0
Thank you

Draft press conference notes: June 6
The Royals completed their selections in the 2012 First-Year Rule 4 Player Draft today, a process that started immediately after last year's draft. J.J. Picollo, Assistant GM for Scouting and Player Development, was joined by Director of Scouting Lonnie Goldberg at today's press conference. A few notes:
*The Royals announced five signings (#3, 7, 8, 14 and 15) and expect to have more signings in the next few days, which will allow for a true mini-camp for the draftees.
*Goldberg mentioned that the Royals are optimistic about getting a deal completed in the next few days with first-round pick Kyle Zimmer.
*Second-round pick Sam Selman came on strong toward the end of the year. He is viewed as a middle of the rotation pitcher with upside.
*Third-round pick Colin Rodgers bypassed an opportunity to pitch at Auburn by signing today. He had a 'why wait' approach when it came to college vs. pro baseball. The signing was attributed to great scouting and cross-checking by Travis Ezi and Gregg Kilby, respectively.
*Picollo said that the Royals expect to sign players quickly under the new draft rules (this year's deadline is July 13, up from August 15 last year). This is a combination of hard work from the scouts, the understanding of those advising the players and the families.
*According to Picollo, the Royals felt that this draft wasn't as deep when it came to college position players. That is reflected in KC's draft pool, which featured 24 pitchers out of 40 players.
*The draft is 10 rounds shorter this year, resulting in more available free agent players. The Royals feel that they'll sign a considerable number of the 40 players, thus they may not have as big of need to ink players from the free agent pool.

Based on the picture this hanger should also fit on a Santa Cruz Tallboy (2012).
Can you confirm this?
Always nice to have a spare
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought a spare derailleur hanger to stuff in my Camelbak just in case. The original hanger on my 2010 Blur LT2 is still going strong. Given that Santa Cruz has started to phase out the Blur line, I figured it was a good idea to order a spare so I'd have one if needed.

I'm using Zimbra Desktop 7 to sync with a gmail account. In ZD when I click on a folder, the search box contains the correct text "in:"Folder Name", but the contents of the folder does not show. What does show, no matter the folder that is clicked on, is what appears to be the equivalent of the "All Mail" label in gmail. When I select a folder that has four messages in it, the text above the message list is "100 of 4 messages".
I've had success using Zimbra with other gmail accounts. What differentiates this gmail account from the others is that this contains about 400 labels.
I've tried to sync with this gmail account on a different computer running Zimbra and got the same result. I connected to the gmail account using another IMAP client, and it correctly showed the proper messages in each folder.
Has anyone else seen this symptom? I'm trying to decide whether to file a bug report or if there is a setting somewhere that I am missing.
Thanks for your help.

Good morning,
we have a problem setting up Outloo2003 on a Win7 64 bit System.
We get a Mapi32.dll Error.
We tried everything what the forums considered:
First thing I tried was deleting the Windows NT Messaging service which helped us on XP based systems but I couldn't find this service on Win7.
So I changed the path of the Outlook files and deleted the old one + the old mail Account.
That didn't help either.
Any suggestion?
Best regards,

Valdosta, GA - As Georgia voters head to the polls Tuesday they will need to remember to bring a government issued photo ID.
The state's Voter ID Law has been up held and is in effect. The most common is a Georgia driver's license. Poll workers will even accept an expired Georgia driver's license, as well as any other photo ID issued by the state or federal government.
A valid U-S Passport, Military ID or a tribal photo are also acceptable. But if you just don't have it, your county elections office may make you a free voter ID card.

For many benefits managers, the challenge is not just how to educate employees about wellness but how to change behavior for the better and then make those changes permanent.
One strategy gaining popularity is to give workers personal devices that track their physical activity and help them meet their fitness goals. These devices, called accelerometers, or wireless activity trackers, also are increasingly tied to broader wellness campaigns and workplace fitness challenges.
Unlike its predecessor the pedometer, which tracked only steps and whose data couldn't be uploaded or easily shared, the accelerometer monitors steps, distance, calories burned and even sleep. Statistics are synched to computers and smartphones and often also have a social networking capacity.
"This is one of the most financially impactful of all the investments, even in the short term, that we've seen," says Renya Spak, principal of the total health management practice at consultancy Mercer, of the devices. "We've seen very compelling findings."
Fitness firms Fitbit, Jawbone and Fitlinxx and shoe giant Nike are among the leaders in this category. Fitness-tech firm Withings joined the competition this month by unveiling its own product, the Smart Activity Tracker.
"It's definitely a crowded and growing space," Spak says.
One happy client is Box, a cloud-based content sharing platform company. The Los Altos, California-based firm last fall purchased Fitbit Zips for all 700 employees. The Fitbit Zip retails for $59.95.
Box kicked off a 30-day challenge in mid-November, during which employees participated in groups to see who could average the most steps per person. The challenge required at least 75 percent participation in each group to qualify.
About half of the company participated in the contest. On average, there was a 42.2 percent increase in steps taken over the month. The winning group took close to 7,700 steps and had an 81 percent participation rate. The prize was a group dinner out on the town.
Evan Wittenberg, vice president of people operations at Box and a former Google employee, says he considers the results a success and that he plans to do more challenges using Fitbit devices.
"For knowledge workers, exercise and physical fitness are extremely, extremely important," Wittenberg says. "We thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if everyone had a regular way to get feedback on how they are doing with their fitness.' "
He says Fitbit shares Box's values of just-in-time, access-anywhere information, making the partnership a "no-brainer."
Two computer engineers, Eric Friedman and James Park, founded Fitbit in 2007 as a way to use technology to help themselves and their colleagues get up from their desks during the workday.
Amy McDonough, director of business development at Fitbit, says the products are for everyday people and that Fitbit tries to make the experience "straightforward for employers."
"We take a consultative approach on what would work best for individual employers," McDonough says.
Fitbit also has partnerships with health plans and corporate wellness vendors such as Healthways and RedBrick Health to incorporate the devices into their wellness offerings, she says.
"We find the challenges are most successful when they are integrated into the workplace culture," she says.
Team challenges can keep employees from losing interest in the devices once the initial novelty has worn off, says Spak of Mercer.
"It's the social, team aspect of it that makes it stay fresh," she says.
Wittenberg of Box says the goal is to get employees to adopt healthier habits, and the wireless activity tracker is simply the catalyst to make change. He says research suggests it takes 30 to 40 repetitions to make a new activity become habit.
As for the winning team on Box's first Fitbit challenge, members haven't decided yet where to have their victory dinner.
"I'm hoping they don't choose beer and pizza because that would defeat the purpose," Wittenberg jokes. "But of course they can choose where they want to go."

Sir Paul McCartney is calling on fans to help with the making of a new promo video for his track "Save Us.".
The Beatles legend launched an Instagram campaign in September ahead of the release of his latest album "New" in October, asking fans to send in pictures any time they saw the word "new."
Following an overwhelming response, the veteran rocker has decided to use the same process to compile the video for his next single, asking fans to send in pictures of themselves holding up a sheet of lyrics from the song.
The most creative submission will be selected to appear in the clip.

Okay, so I'm slowly becoming addicted to the Zimbra Assistant but I did have one issue that I hope is just an oversight...
When I create a task through the ZA, does anyone know if there's a way to assign a due date? If I type the following:
task "Change out power supply" tomorrow
It will create a new task with a Start Date of tomorrow, but with a Due Date of today. Then if I go back in to edit the task and save, it coughs up an error since the Start Date is *after* the Due Date. I know I can manually change the Due Date but it doesn't seem like I should have to.
Thanks for any help,

As the first six weeks rolled to an end, the Loudmouth Math All Stars were chosen. The 6th-grade all stars are Lauren Guerrero, Serena Castro and Jacob Guzman. Seventh-grade all stars are Gabriella Reza, Dominic Jackson and Diana Paul, and 8th-grade all stars are Brittany Arredondo, Michaela Chavarria and Mark Carabajal. The All Stars received a Loudmouth Golf hat, a certificate designed especially for MMS by LM golf, pencils, grips and other goodies.
Each six weeks, a whole new group of Loudmouth All Stars will be announced. Along with the All Stars, there are several academic clubs that go along with the Teach Loud, Learn Proud program. The numbers in each club are high — so much that more than 80 percent of the student body was affected positively by the program.
"I am very glad and honored to see that this program has had such a positive impact on our school," Johnson said. "Without the Joe Barnhart Foundation, Larry Jackson and Loudmouth golf, this program would not be possible," he added.
As the year rolls on, MMS and the Loudmouth Math program have many more projects on the way. "It's amazing to see how the Teach Loud, Learn Proud program has encouraged our students to work harder, not only in math, but in other areas. Again, a big 'thank you' goes out to Mr. Johnson, Loudmouth Golf and The Joe Barnhart Foundation for helping us help our students," MMS Principal Joni Barber said.

Video: WalMart Employees Protest For Wage Increase
LANDOVER HILLS, Md. (WUSA) - The scene played out in cities all over the country at WalMart stores.
Workers walked off the job, protesting low wages and poor treatment.
"We want respect. We want a living wage," said Cynthia Nelson.
She has worked for the Walmart in Laurel since 1985.
She joined her fellow employees, protesting in Landover Hills on Friday.
