PAC 12 Preview
by Joanna Russell
posted Sep 2 2015 10:25PM
Over 7 months ago I sat like a naïve child glued to the big screen convinced this was the year that the PAC-12 would get the credit they deserved. I'm from Texas, the Ducks are playing at Cowboys Stadium; if its going happen, this is the year. No more Pete Carroll legacy - it's time for another PAC team to win the big one. And why would I think Ohio State even had a chance to come out on top. Oregon pounded the Seminoles 59-20 and sent Winston home crying just 10 days before… of course this was the year for the PAC -12. The 10 year stretch was over and Oregon was going to come out on top and not only show the SEC the gap had been closing over the years; but that the PAC-12
the new powerhouse. But the Buckeyes had a different agenda. Talking with friends months after the championship game, all I remembered was the name Ezekiel Elliot..four touchdowns, 36 carries, over 250 yards…that is what I remember about that day.

Oregon Ducks - 2015 Championship Game
Even though it been almost eight months since BIG 10 Champion Ohio State had its way with PAC-12 Champion Oregon, it's still hard to think about. But as the 2015-2016 college football season approaches, no conference is more loaded with talent than the PAC-12.
Preseason history is repeating itself as much of the national media is quick to appoint the SEC as the dominate conference of the college football landscape. However, the past 2 National Champions have provided ample evidence validating the vulnerability of the SEC as the presumed elite conference of the past decade. Both Florida State and Ohio State knocking off the SEC winner the past 2 seasons has given PAC-12 fans reason for optimism. Even the most enthusiastic ACC (Florida State defeating SEC champion Auburn in the 2014-15 BCS Championship game) and BIG 10 (Ohio State defeating SEC champion and #1 overall seed Alabama in last season's college football playoff national Semi-final) football fan would admit their respective conference have not been nearly as talented as the PAC-12 the past two seasons—yet, the college football gods and the convenience of poor matchups for those SEC champions has proven that slaying Goliath is a reality. And nowhere is this reality more palpable than in the 2015-16 PAC-12.
Oregon (13-2 last season; PAC-12 Record: 8-1):
With the success the program has achieved over the past several seasons establishing Oregon as a nation power in the college football landscape, Duck fans are growing tired of just making it to big games. Although the Ducks are loaded with the usual speed at their traditional skill positions, many questions linger as the 2015-16 season approaches.
How will life after Mariota be for Coach Mark Helfrich and the Oregon offense? Last season the Heisman Trophy winner accounted for almost 70% of the Ducks' total offense. As Oregon's Head Football Coach, Helfrich has never had to prepare another starter to play the quarterback position for the Ducks other than Mariota. Helfrich has an outstanding 24-4 record in his two seasons as head coach, but as he enters his 3
year many observers are interested in learning if Helfrich is able to achieve sustained success with his own players—and not simply with those recruited by his predecessor Chip Kelly.

Vernon Adams - Oregon Ducks
Oregon opens up against Eastern Washington in Eugene, a more important game than many pundits are accounting for—but not as it pertains to the outcome since the Ducks are just too deep and talented at every position. Though there is no doubt the kids from Eastern Washington will give it everything they have, it will nonetheless be surprising if the Ducks margin of victory is less than 4 touchdowns. However, this first game is enormously important for the Ducks' mindset as they enter a hostile environment and take on revenge minded Michigan State the following Saturday in East Lancing. Sparty is loaded on both sides of the ball with one of the best Quarterbacks in the country in Connor Cook and a defensive that can compete with any in the SEC. Against Eastern Washington, the Ducks will be forced to play the balancing act of perfecting their execution and working out all the kinks, while not showing too much on the field in the way of offensive play calling and defensive schemes. New starting QB Vernon Adams will be sure to want to impress against his former team but the real test will come the following week in East Lancing. The ideal outcome for the Ducks is for Adams to maintain a level of comfort in his execution of the offense that will hopefully translate the following week during practice and leading up to the Michigan State game on September 12
Note: Much of the national media is making quite a bit of noise regarding the loss of RB Thomas Tyner and the unproven commodity in transfer QB Adams. Perhaps the latter concern is legitimate as only time will tell (though the "is he a Jeremiah Masoli or Russell Wilson" discourse is just plain silly—probably just as silly as the trendy prediction of Adams as a Heisman finalist which some in the national media are forecasting). Tyner is big loss for sure. However, so long as Royce Freeman stays healthy and the Ducks have the benefit of RB/Receiver Byron Marshall reducing Freeman's load, the Ducks will be just fine at the RB position.
Stanford (8-5 last season; PAC-12 Record: 5-4):
Stanford Head David Brian Shaw (with a record of 42-12 over 4 seasons) was able to achieve what many believed impossible when Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck left for the NFL a few season ago: a sustained level of success with their signature hardnosed football while maintaining the commitment to academic and off the field excellence which has been a trademark of Stanford Student-Athletes.
Shaw looks to rebound from a disappointing 5-4 conference record last season as he has 9 starters returning on offense, and 4 returning on defense. Highlighting Shaw's returning starters is 5
-year Senior QB Kevin Hogan who although has 24-8 record as a starter, has been inconsistent much of his career. Hogan hopes to cap his time at Stanford on a high note and take pressure of a defense down from recent years. The Cardinals schedule sets up well as they open up nonconference play at Northwestern, a rising BIG 10 program. With a Top 25 recruiting class the Cardinals can expect to be serious threat to the Ducks in the PAC-12 North, looking to derail the "Quack-Attack" in Palo Alto where they host Oregon on a nationally televised Thursday night game Oct 29
California (5-7 last season; PAC-12 Record: 3-6):
When Cal administrators fired Jeff Tedford 3 years ago, a coach who brought the Golden Bears into national prominence (producing such future NFL stars as Aaron Rogers, Marshawn Lynch , and DeSean Jackson just to name a few), it was understood whomever took over would be given a rather long leash as the process of rebuilding the program unfolded. Well, as he enters his 3
season as head coach (with a record of 6-18), Sonny Dykes' leash is little shorter this season and the collective patience of those same Cal administrators who fired Tedford is a little thinner.
Still searching for a marque win for his program, Coach Dykes hopes to build upon last season's 3 PAC-12 conference victories—wins that were anything but impressive (2OT 59-56 win at home vs. hapless Colorado; 1 point victory vs. Washington State; a win against Oregon State just before Mike Riley left Corvallis for Nebraska). But if there was ever cause to feel optimistic it has to be with returning starting QB Jared Goff, who is already third on Cal's career passing list almost 8,000 yards. The Golden Bears return 8 starters on offense and 7 on defense, making this Coach Dykes' deepest team since he arrived. Cal's 1
real test of the season will come when they travel to Austin to take on Texas the third week of the season—although the Longhorns are not the national power they were several years ago, they are still Texas with Texas recruits and facilities. If Coach Dykes can come away with a road win down in Austin he may likely have the elusive signature win for his program.
Washington (8-6 last season; PAC-12 Record: 4-5):
Most Husky fans considered it a fortuitous upgrade when barely over .500 coach Steve Sarkisian bolted for Southern Cal, leaving the void to be filled by long time Boise State head coach Chris Peterson. Now entering his 2
season as head coach at Washington, expectations are sky high in Seattle knowing what Coach Peterson was able to get out Junior College transfers willing to play in Boise. When you add to the equation a program name rich with history and tradition (Husky fan is quick to remind Duck fan they own a national title, albeit with an asterisk beside it), coupled by the allure of playing in the major market of Seattle with major program facilities at UW, there is legitimate reason for optimism.

Now the reality—cupboards are bare for Peterson as he returns just 5 starters on offense and 5 on defense. Coach Peterson's Boise State teams were defined by exceptional play at Quarterback, yet coming out of spring practice it was unclear who will be taking snaps under center when Peterson returns home to open up against his former team on the formidable "Smurf Turf." The reality is, and what Husky fan doesn't want to hear, this will be a rebuilding year for Coach Peterson as he works to implement his own system and attract his own personnel.
Washington State (3-9 last season; PAC-12 Record: 2-7):
Mike Leach enters his 4
season at the helm in Pullman with an unimpressive 12-25 record and coming off just 2 conference wins last year. His trademark "air raid" offense puts up plenty of points and is fun to watch. However, his WSU defenses the past few seasons have been historically bad both in giving up points and yards. You would think Coach Leach would be on the hot seat entering this season—but you would be wrong. Though the Cougar fan base yearns for the days when WSU is relevant in national stage again—or even in the PAC-12—they are realistic and understand their team plays in Pullman, Washington and Coach Leach is proven winner (i.e. the original Air Raid Offenses of Texas Tech).

Gerard Wicks
Coach Leach returns 7 starters on offense and 6 on defense, and most notably all five starting offensive linemen return from last season. The field goal kicking and punting struggles are well documented with Coach Leach making a rare mid-season firing of an assistant coach last fall. Given this inconsistency expect Coach Leach to continue to roll the dice on 4
down keeping his offense on the field regardless of field position. The Cougars schedule opens up quite nicely with 4 very winnable games before heading to Eugene to take on Oregon Oct. 10
, then a four week rough patch (at Arizona, Stanford, ASU, at UCLA) before ending the season with 2 winnable games against Colorado and Washington.
Oregon State (5-7 last season; PAC-12 Record: 2-7):
The Gary Anderson era could not come soon enough for Beaver nation with the OSU coming of a disappointing 2 conference win season in Mike Riley's last year. Expect LOTS of changes as OSU's offense transitions from Riley's traditional pro style sets to the up tempo/spread offense Coach Anderson brings with him. And with Shawn Manion in the NFL the Quarterback position is a major question mark heading into this season. Even if being portrayed as a rebuilding year under the new coach, Beaver fans can be optimistic as they return more offensive starters from last season (9) than any other team in the PAC-12 North. Most notably expect RB Storm Woods to get plenty of touches as Coach Anderson figures out the Quarterback situation. Defense is an even bigger question mark with only 2 returning starters from last season's unit.
The Beavers will have little time to ease into their new coach's system, opening up at Michigan in Jim Harbaugh's first home game in the "Big House" with over 100,000 onlookers during just the second game of the season.

Washington drops out of top 25 with mediocre week one performance
I wasn't convinced Peterson was worth his contract when he signed on with University of Washington, and his debut as head coach was anything but impressive as the Huskies edged the Warriors 17-16 Saturday to open up the Pac 12 season. Good news for the Huskies - their opener was against a Mountain West opponent coming off a 1-11 season; bad news – the running game alone is not effective in a conference like the Pac 12. This style of coaching can fare well if you're up against the Lobos or Air Force, not so much against the Cardinal defense or the Ducks secondary.
AP Photo
Saturday they face Big Sky opponent Eastern Washington; a team who has outscored their opponents 97-44 in their first two games of the season. I'm betting against the spread with my pick this week. Shelton and Qualls were the only defense players that showed up last weekend, and with Lindquist finishing the day 10 of 26 for 162 yards I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Miles under center this week. These two areas will be exposed Saturday, and if Eagles LB Ronnie Hamlin and his defense can shut down backs Washington and Coleman, it's going to be a long day for the Huskies.
Game time: 12:05 Kickoff PST; Pac 12 Network
#13 Stanford and #14 USC Battle it out in this Pac 12 conference opener
Stanford is favored by 4 this weekend as they take on Southern Cal at home in this much anticipated conference opener. Trojans QB Kessler was 25 of 37 for 394 yards and 4 TD's last week, and back Javorius Allen added 133 more on 22 carries. They finished the day with 700 yards on the offensive side. The defense side of the ball was strong too, holding their opponent to just 160 total yards and forcing 4 picks (from four different defensive players).
SC's Kessler (minor toe surgery this week) and DE Leonard Williams are both expected to see the field Saturday.
Stanford spread the ball around on the offensive side last week with 10 players picking up a combined 424 yards in the air, while adding another 274 on the ground. On the defensive side of the ball, Stanford held the Aggies to just 115 yards last week as they walked away with the easy 45-0 win.
Senior QB Keith Hogan (12 of 16 for 204 yards and 3 TD's) led the team to a perfect 7-0 record at home last season and was handed just one loss at home in 2012; from none other than USC. Off field controversy and drama (Anthony Brown and Josh Shaw) didn't affect SC last week as some expected; but I wouldn't be surprised if Sarkisian's post game comments from their matchup last season comes back to haunt him this weekend. If I was Coach Shaw, I would play the audio clip of Sarkisian accusing Stanford of faking injuries before they head out on the field Saturday.

Week One
by Joanna Russell
posted Aug 29 2014 5:26PM
Fellow faithful college football fans - it is that time of year again. For the past 233 days we have been patiently waiting for this weekend to arrive. Patiently waiting to see how Leach will fare his second year in the Palouse, if no conference Notre Dame falls 0-3 against the PAC this season, if a Pac 12 team will win the national championship, and if Steve and Chris made the right decision
(an $18 million dollar offer would make the transition from Boise to Seattle pretty easy for me)
Work production all over the US slowly decreased the past 4 weeks as we checked stats on team recruits, injuries, opponents, and spreads. As we overanalyze our Pac12 stats and put together the playoff brackets in our head, we all collectively hope that the SEC doesn't return to claim their eighth consecutive title game.
Here are my recommendations of the top Pac 12 games to watch this weekend:
Rutgers vs. the Cougs: Leach returns for his third season with the Cougs as they take on this Big East contender Thursday night in the Palouse. Unlike Oregon or OSU, the Cougs face a tough opponent in their season opener. The Cougs could struggle on the defensive side of the ball as only 6 returning starters try to fill the holes of the two top tackles they lost last season. Washington State averaged 368 yards in the air last season, so expect the same from Halliday in this season opener. I think this will be a high scoring game with the Cougs capitalizing in the air, and the Scarlet Knights focusing on their rushing game.
Fresno State vs. USC: The Bulldogs travel to the Coliseum to take on SC without star QB Carr and WR Davante Adams; standout Adams finished his college career racking up 24 of the teams 50 total TD's last season. Coach DeRuyter has yet to decide if Burrell or Connette will be starting Saturday, but whoever is chosen will face Leonard Williams, one of the top defensive lineman in the country. When you throw the recent SC headlines into the mix, Sarkisian has his hands full as he starts his career as the new head coach of the Trojans.
Recommendations to watch for entertainment value or because you're a fan:
South Dakota vs. Oregon: We can only hope the weather is pleasant for the Duck mascot because he should be closing in on 200 plus pushups by the end of the day. This is a game for Oregon to pad their stats for the rest of the year and fine tune things before they face the Spartans.
Portland State vs. Oregon State: I wouldn't waste any DVR space on this one, but you never know what can happen when the Beavs face a Big Sky opponent….Eastern Washington stunned the Beavers 49-46 season so anything
happen, but I would put money on the Pac 12 if someone wanted to throw some money on it.
Enjoy your first weekend of the best part of the year!

Art, life and Lady Macbeth in a strapless gown

Last week, life and art and politics collided, not for most folks, but for me as I moved through my days. It happened to be the week I saw both the production of "Macbeth" at Lincoln Center and the revival of "The Glass Menagerie" at the Booth Theater. It was also the dispiriting week that the new Affordable Health Care Act ran off the rails because of a disastrous online launch.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Synopsis
Based on a cast of fictional heroes and villains that make up the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" fantasy. The premise of this fantasy is the story of the G.I. Joe team, led by Duke, and their "fight for freedom wherever there is trouble" against the evil Cobra Commander and his Cobra force.
The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the "Pit" as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world. Duke, the lead character and head of the G.I. Joe team, will embody the values of bravery and heroism that the first generation of G.I. Joe figures established.
Though Im the right age for it, Ive never had the childhood attachment to G.I. Joe that a lot of you have. I played with Transformers, and the only kid I knew who had G.I. Joe dolls was primarily known by my friends and me as Urine Kid. So now I unfairly associate the characters and the toys with a faintly nauseating ammonia smell.
Still, it was every bit the phenomenon that Transformers was, reaching its zenith with the cartoon series, right around the time Optimus Prime burst on the scene to transform into things. Unlike Transformers though, G.I. Joes were flying off the shelves decades before their 80s popularity. Your dad may have had one as a kid, since they first burst onto the scene as a toy back in the 60s.
G.I. Joe was meant to be the boys answer to the Barbie doll. Thats right guys; you were playing with man-Barbie. See what I mean? You should have gone for that super-cool transforming robot next to it on the shelf instead. Later the toy became less of a doll, more of an action figure, and infinitely cooler.
Turning this much beloved toy and television franchise into a movie is a process fraught with peril. To some extent, making Transformers work on screen is by comparison easy. All they really needed to do was make vehicles turning into robots look realistic, and the rest falls into place around it. For Joe though, director Stephen Sommers is working with something a little more tricky.
Its tricky, because its a lot less unique. Normally you take a property like this, and to turn it into a live-action movie you simply try to make it more realistic. But these are toy soldiers were talking about here, and if you do that youll end up with some sort of bizarre war documentary. Nobody wants that. Too fanciful though, and you end up with something laughably cartoony. If thats youre angle, then might as well have brought in some animators and dispensed with the live action thing entirely.
Will a G.I. Joe movie be huge? Absolutely. Expect the same kind of opening day business Transformers did, based on name recognition alone. Yet whether or not itll be any good depends entirely on which direction they decide to take it. Sommers has to land his movie somewhere between dead serious and silly, no easy task when youre talking about adapting a bunch of man-Barbies which were only originally only given a story as a way to sell plastic weapon accessories.

Only 1 loss. Great game to watch, wasn't totally upset when OT goal was scored, kind of expected it as the bounces just seemed to be going the Hawks way, it happens.
With Horton's injury, we all know that Seguin has to step up his game big time! However, when will Chris Kelly step up his game? He has struggled all season and many on BDC said just wait, he starts off slow all the time, he's a vet, a big game player, blah, blah, blah! He has been the Bruins worst player! He is a team worst minus - 9, with no points in 17 playoff games. Is being good on draws and as a penalty killer enough? Or is it time to insert someone else for a game? If the 3rd & 4th lines don't step it up and start to contribute, or at the very least play even, it will be very tough to win this series. Never thought that I would say this, but boy do they miss Campbell. Furthermore, when a game is 3 OT's and a healthy player has only 9:55 of ice time, why is that player dressed? I love #22, but if the coach has that little confidence in him, he should not be in uniform. I know there are reasons why Caron, Spooner, Pandolfo, Soderberg, and whoever else are in street clothes, but would Claude have had the confidence to have one of them on the ice in the 3rd OT? NO panic here, just think that Claude might be wise to mix up the bottom 2 lines for game 2.

Merce Cunningham — one of the giants of 20th-century dance and choreography — died on Sunday at age 90 in Manhattan.
Cunningham had a friendship with Cincinnati art dealer Carl Solway, whose show of his drawings, Merce Cunningham in His 90th Year, is on display at Carl Solway Gallery through Aug. 15.
The American Dance Festival's Israeli Festival portion of its season escalated Thursday night with the inaugural ADF performance at the new Durham Performing Arts Center in downtown Durham, N.C. New York City-based repertory company Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet made their ADF debut unforgettable with a high-octane performance of Israeli-born choreographer Ohad Naharin's 2007 work, Decadance.
In the heat of a Carolina summer, I'm pleased to be taking in a bit of this year's American Dance Festival (ADF) in and around Duke University in steamy Durham, N.C. I'm here with another local dance writer (Kathy Valin) for the Israeli Festival portion of ADF to catch performances from two companies: Emanuel Gat Dance and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. 2009 marks ADF's 76th season, "Where Ballet and Modern Meet."
The Audience Pick, voted by theatergoers, went to Gravesongs (pictured), Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's intern showcase, a piece by local playwright Sarah Underwood written for the five actresses who spent this season at ETC (Rachel Christianson, Emily Eaton, Lauren Shiveley, Rebecca Whatley and Elizabeth L. Worley). It was directed by another ETC intern, Elizabeth Maxwell. The script is about death from the perspective of women in their early twenties.
The 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival wraps up tonight. Starting today at 2 p.m., 18 different productions are presenting their final shows and both Film Fringe and Visual Fringe are wrapping up at the Art Academy of Cincinnati.
Rick Pender reports that ticket sales have already surpassed Fringe organizers' goals, and today's beautiful weather should bring out a final wave of good attendance.
Reviews of all 18 of today's shows are posted on CityBeat's Fringe micro-site, including The Secrets Project, which opened last night at New Stage Collective and presents its second and final performance tonight at 7:30. In fact, CityBeat writers have reviewed all 31 Fringe shows, with most reviews being posted the morning after their debut performances.
I have three words for you regarding theater-going this weekend: Fringe. Fringe. Fringe.
If you haven't dropped in yet for this stimulating festival of push-the-envelope performances, you're missing out on the greatest dose of annual creativity that we get here in Cincinnati. And a lot of your friends have already caught on: Fringe Producer Eric Vosmeier tells me that as of Thursday they've hit their ticket goal for the entire festival ... and there are still two more days to go!
The 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival heads into its second week with high expectations.
"I've heard from a number of patrons that this is the strongest field of shows they've ever seen in at the Fringe, and we agree," Managing Director Eric Vosmeier reports. "Our attendance numbers are up, though it's difficult to say how much just yet."
Check out CityBeat's extensive coverage of the 2009 Cincy Fringe Festival. As of noon Saturday we've posted reviews of 21 productions, with more coming every day until all 31 shows have been reviewed.

In response to JamezHill24's comment:
i dont get it..ur gunna limit KG and Pauls minutes but why play them at all? just sit them and give JG and Wilcox heavy minutes..nothing wrong with seeing what Green can do in the starting lineup.
Well, the Spurs got a massive fine for sitting their stars. So I think, the celtics want to avoid that. So, if they want to rest their players limited minutes is a way to do it and avoid Stern's wrath.
And give the fans who paid their hard earned money to at least see a little of PP and KG.
coaches dont think like that. Its always gunna be what they think is best for the team.

The concept of intellectual property should be a no-brainer, but we see examples of theft all too often.
Travel companies, government agencies, and even airlines use my pictures without permission.
Not too long ago, a photographer submitted some pictures to a German magazine that published a group of what the magazine thought were her photos. Someone saw the pictures and realized that they were actually my photographs.
I have taken out the name of the magazine because they have already apologized, but it is amazing that someone could think they could get away with submitting my pictures as their own. I never received an apology from the photographer who stole the pictures.
The concept of intellectual property should be a no-brainer, but I guess there will always be people who use the work of others to promote their own companies or careers. I appreciate the folks around the world who let me know when they see my work being pirated or plagiarized and let us know.

Getting ready for 2008…
With a little more than seven weeks left until the Royals home opener, things here in Kansas City and Surprise, Ariz., are kicking into warp speed.
At Kauffman Stadium, the renovations are progressing on schedule. We posted two new photo galleries highlighting some of the construction and the rapid installation of the CrownVision scoreboard (Do you like the name?). You can check them out online here on the renovations pages.
Down in Spring Training, the full squad is reporting today and workouts begin Tuesday. Team photographer, Chris Vleisides, is heading down to Surprise, which means those of us soaking in the last bits of winter (hopefully!) up here in Kansas City will get to peek in on the action. As soon as we get our hands on some photos, we'll get them posted. Let the countdown to the 2008 season begin!

Lt. Hampton has also confirmed that Flynn is charged in Thomasville with rape, aggravated child molestation, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Flynn had been described by victims and witnesses as driving a red truck and was impersonating a police officer in multiple counties, including Grady County and Mitchell County.

Hey guys,
I've been testing out Zimbra for the past week or so to compare it against MS Exchange. So far, I'm converted. One tiny problem I need to overcome though. I've Googled and searched these forums but haven't found a working solution.
If User 1 has the "SendAs" permission on User 2 configured on the Zimbra Server, how do you enable this in the Zimbra Desktop client?
I've tried Persona but this doesn't have the desired effect. The mail at the recipient end still appears to come from user 1 until you reply and then it switches to user 2.
Please help me with this. We use distribution lists (i.e. sales@ and support@) and we need users to be able to send from these mailboxes/distribution lists.

1955 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck - Needed A Good HomeWritten by on December 1, 2006
In 1958 Doug Bentz was introduced to the world of fast cars while attending the Howard Stamp Memorial Drag Race with his dad at the Famoso dragstrip just outside of his hometown of Bakersfield, California. Now known as the famous March Meet Fuel and Gas Championships, the race planted quite a seed in a young and impressionable Doug. And after cruising with a friend in his lowered F-100 in the late '50s, it was hook, line, and sinker!
In '60 and '61 Doug won the Mobil Oil Co. Safety and Economy Run for high school students in a Ford Falcon that turned out an impressive 24.93 mpg. Later in life Doug raced Mini Stock from '77-87 at Mesa Marin racetrack, where he took two track championships and moved up into Open Competition Camaro, where he ran in the Top Ten in points for 10 more years. He also graduated from the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in '80, where he learned more than a few tricks, I'm sure.
Doug doesn't race anymore, but he still enjoys all forms of racing, and thinking back on those days in high school tooling around in the slammed F-100, he thought he'd like to have one to put his foot into. After a long period of searching he finally pulled the trigger on an uncompleted project in a local paper. Kind of like trying to hold a sandwich that's falling apart in your hands, Doug put the pieces together enough to drive the truck around town for about two years while battling countless gremlins like the fuel pump falling off while out with his son, fixing it with a Swiss Army knife and a spare bolt. It was common for Doug to keep his bike in the bed for some involuntary peddling home.
Finally, the truck was blown apart to box the frame, weld in a Volare front clip, and install a No-Limit four-bar out back to hold the mid-'80s Lincoln rearend in place. The chopped top was finally finished after driving around with no side glass for a while. Kyle Gann at K-Daddy's Kustoms in Bakersfield sorted out the rest of the bodywork, including molding the rain gutters, shaving the door handles, pancaking the hood, welding the cowl and side vents, channeling the cab 4 inches, shortening the bed 2 1/2 inches, and sectioning it 3 inches. Once the welder was cool, Kyle painted everything in DuPont Viper Red.
Since Doug had his fair share of going really fast on the track, he kept the '55 tame with a pretty stock 350 Chevy bored 0.030-over, balanced, stuffed with a COMP Cam, and capped with a four-barrel Holley. The ram's horn exhaust manifolds dump into a 3-inch MagnaFlow system that stops out back thanks to Mike Keene at Bakersfield Muffler.
Inside, the Effie is simple and effective with VDO Heritage Gold gauges, a GM tilt column, and a Lecarra Hollow Point steering wheel. Kool Auto Air installed the Vintage Air system that's mandatory around Kern County for summertime fun. A Ford LTD bench seat with a built-in armrest was covered in bone color tweed, and light camel carpet ties the floor in nicely.
Nowadays, you won't find a bike on the polished bed floor, you'll just find trophies, if you can catch the truck standing still. To help keep the family tradition going, Doug spent plenty of time with both his son and grandson in the truck as well as at the track. Keep up the good work, boys.

Top Swedish lightweight prospect Reza Madadi (11-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has signed a multi-fight deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship and is expected to make a January debut.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the signing, which was first reported by MMAViking.com, with UFC officials.
Madadi is expected to make his debut at January's UFC on FX 1 event, though his opponent has yet to be officially determined. Brazilian vet Rafaello Oliveira (14-5 MMA, 1-4 UFC) is said to be a leading candidate.
Featuring a headliner of Melvin Guillard vs. Jim Miller, UFC on FX 1 takes place Jan. 20 in Nashville, Tenn. Bridgestone Arena is expected to host the card, but UFC officials have yet to confirm the venue.
The night's main card airs on FOX-owned FX and marks the UFC's debut on the top-10 cable station. FX will become home to many UFC events, as well as "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series, beginning in 2012.
The 31-year-old Iranian-born "Mad Dog" Madadi carries a six-fight win streak that includes consecutive wins over big-show veterans Rich Clementi, Carlo Prater and Junie Browning. After dropping his professional debut in 2006, Madadi has since earned 11 wins in 12 trips to the cage.
Six of Madadi's professional wins have come via submission and his two losses have each come via decision.

Professor Abrams' scholarship focuses on identity formation and transitions among youth and young adults who have histories of incarceration. Her primary works have explored institutional influences on identity and behaviors as well as youths' subjective accounts of criminality, risk, and treatment programs seeking to reshape their identities through various therapeutic and punitive practices. These themes are fully examined in her book (with Ben Anderson-Nathe from Portland State University) "Compassionate Confinement: A Year in the Life of Unit C," Rutgers University Press (2013). A current book project is examining "Life After Juvie" (Abrams and Terry, Forthcoming).
Dr. Abrams is currently involved in several studies concerning juvenile justice, reentry, and transition age youth in the Los Angeles area. A current mixed methods project is examining the transition to adulthood, criminal desistance, and use of social supports among young adults with histories of juvenile incarceration. A related ethnographic study concerns education-based incarceration for young men in the Los Angeles County jail system. Dr. Abrams is also examining practices for young offenders from an international perspective.
Dr. Abrams also has two currently funded projects related to former foster youth and cross-over youth. She is also working with Dr. Bridget Freisthler on a study examining housing resources and experiences for young people in independent living programs. A recent grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is evaluating their transition age youth strategy in Los Angeles and New York City. This project (2013-2016) is conducted in partnership with Westat, Inc. and Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work.
Dr. Abrams has served as an expert witness for criminal cases involving young people and has provided public and congressional testimony regarding treatment in the juvenile justice system, the reentry needs of youth offenders, and effective practices for offender reintegration. Her work has been supported by grants from the NIH Center for Vulnerable Populations Research, the UCLA Faculty Senate, the UC Center for New Racial Studies, the New Visions Foundation, the John Randolph and Dora Haynes Foundation, The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, and others.
Professor Abrams has expertise in qualitative and mixed methods research and has authored articles on cross-cultural research and the role of qualitative methods in social work. She is currently the co-chair of the qualitative interest group for the Society for Social Work Research and on the editorial board of Qualitative Social Work: Research and Practice.
Dr. Abrams teaches the following courses: SW 201A- Human Behavior in the Social Environment: Diversity, Oppression, and Social Functioning; SW 231- Advanced Practice with Diverse Populations; SW 285- Research Methods with Children and Youth; SW286- Qualitative Research Methods; and SW 229: The Craft of Social Welfare Scholarship.
Note: Professor Abrams is on sabattical for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Research Interests:
Incarcerated youth and identity transitions; the transition to adulthood among formerly incarcerated youth and youth aging out of foster care; contextual influences on youth mental health and psychosocial functioning; qualitative and mixed methods research; gender studies; critical race theory and social work education.

Rappers The Game and Drake are helping to cover the costs of funerals for members of an Ohio family who perished in a house fire.
Ana Angel was working a shift at fast food chain Burger King when a blaze broke out in her mobile home in Tiffin, killing boyfriend Timothy Fresch and her five children, whose ages ranged from 1 to 6.
The tragedy has moved the hip-hop superstars, who have offered up $20,000 each to help Angel pay for the funeral services.
The money will be donated through The Game's Robin Hood Project charity, with the producers of his reality TV show "Marrying The Game" adding another $2,500.
The Game has taken to his Instagram page to open up about the fire tragedy, writing, "Repost from my brother Drake for helping in my donation of $22,500 to Ana Angel of Tiffin, Ohio on behalf of @therobinhoodproject."
He added: "I can deal with a lot of things but people losing their children is something that kills me every time." (MJ/WNWCZM&WNTWT/KL)

The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Synopsis
The follow-up to the action hit "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight" reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and the committed new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City for good. The triumvirate initially proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces The Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.
Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger ("Brokeback Mountain") portrays arch-villain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays District Attorney Harvey Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast in the role of Rachel Dawes. Returning from "Batman Begins" are Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon; Oscar winner Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") as Alfred; and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") as Lucius Fox.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production, a Christopher Nolan film, "The Dark Knight." Nolan directed the film from a screenplay written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. Charles Roven, Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan are the producers, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull serving as executive producers. "The Dark Knight" is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Wally Pfister ("The Prestige," "Batman Begins"), Oscar-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley ("The Prestige"), Oscar-nominated editor Lee Smith ("Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World") and Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming ("Topsy-Turvy"). The music is by Oscar winner and multiple Oscar nominee Hans Zimmer ("The Lion King," "Gladiator") and seven-time Oscar nominee James Newton Howard ("Michael Clayton," "The Fugitive"), who previously collaborated on the score for "Batman Begins."
Six sequences of "The Dark Knight" were filmed with IMAX(R) cameras, including the opening six minutes. This marks the first time ever that a major feature film has been even partially shot using IMAX cameras, marking a revolutionary integration of the two film formats. The IMAX Experience(R) will appear in IMAX DMR (letterbox), while scenes shot with IMAX cameras on 15/70mm film will expand vertically to fill the entire IMAX screen, which can be up to eight stories tall, for an all-encompassing moviegoing experience.
The cast and crew of Batman Begins return for another shot at the early years of Bruce Wayne and the Dark Knight. Everyone that wasnt dead at the end of the last movie returns for Batmans first face off with his most notable nemesis The Joker. Can Christopher Nolan do it again? Or perhaps more impotantly, can he keeping doing what he did right, and fix all the things he did wrong?
Nolans no action director, and while Begins captured the style and tone Bat-fans were looking for it wasnt much to look at as an action movie. Give the guy a break, he was used to movies about memory loss, not films about karate kicking men in leather pants. My hope is that hell have learned a thing or two during his Begins experience, and wise-up enough to toss out the shaky cam and give us some decent action sequences mixed in with all that gritty atmosphere. If The Dark Knight does that (and kills off Katie Holmes), itll top its predecessor.
Theres too much going right with this franchise to believe itll go horribly wrong. Second superhero movies are almost always good. Superman 2, Spider-Man 2, X-Men 2, even Batman Returns. Its the third where things fall apart.

Oklahoma football: Laker streak trumps Bud Wilkinson's
The Miami Heat's winning streak — 27 games and counting going into a Wednesday night game at Chicago — has shone a spotlight on the Lakers' epic 33-game winning streak from 1971-72. And in the Sunday Oklahoman, our man John Rohde ranked the 10 most impressive winning streaks in sports. You can read that list here.
The Lakers were No. 1. OU football was No. 2. The Sooners won 47 straight games from early 1953 through late 1957. It's a record that hasn't really been approached in major college football and isn't likely to be. And the idea that the Lakers would rank ahead of those Sooners has caused some readers great angst.
But I agree with putting the Lakers ahead of the Sooners. I tend to think that most every professional winning streak is more impressive than anything similar in college, for this reason. Scheduling. The pros don't make their own schedules. The pros play when and where and against who they're told to play. The colleges, not so much.
To his credit, Bud Wilkinson in the 1950s scheduled great non-conference games. OU's 1953 season began with a loss to Notre Dame and a tie with Pittsburgh. Between then and the next time OU lost, to Notre Dame in November 1957, the Sooners played these non-conference games: Texas five times, at California, TCU, at North Carolina, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, at Notre Dame and at Pitt.
And the Sooners during the streak twice beat great Maryland teams in the Orange Bowl.
But despite trying to schedule great, turns out those non-conference slates weren't all that tough. OU beat Texas five times, but three of those Longhorn teams didn't even finish with a winning record, and beat Oklahoma A&M four times. The Aggies were a combined 17-16-3 in non-Bedlam games during that span, playing a mostly-Missouri Valley schedule. The 'Horns were 7-3 in 1953 and 6-4-1 in 1957. Notre Dame in 1956 was 2-8. TCU in 1954 was 4-6. Cal in 1954 finished 5-5. Those two North Carolina teams were 3-7 and 2-7-1. The two Pitt teams were 7-4 and 5-6, though that 7-4 team made the Sugar Bowl.
Still, a representative schedule. Which was needed, because Big Seven football during that time was awful. The Sooners, of course, dominated. They tied Kansas for the 1946 and 1947 Big Six titles, then didn't lose a conference game from 1948 through 1958; their streak ended in 1959, even though OU still won the Big Seven that year.
The rest of the conference was mediocre during the 47-game winning streak. Kansas State and Missouri tied for second in 1953, each at 4-2; KSU went 6-3-1, Missouri 6-4. Nebraska placed second in 1954, going 4-2 and 6-5. Nebraska placed second in 1955, going 5-1 in conference but 5-5 overall. Colorado 1956 might have been the best Big Seven team to challenge OU during the era; those Buffs went 4-1-1 in the league and 8-2-1 overall, losing just 27-19 to OU, the Sooners' closest conference call during the streak. And in 1957, Kansas placed second, at 4-2 and 5-4-1.
So the truth is, in winning 47 straight games, the Sooners beat an elite opponent only a few times. Maryland twice, Pitt once, Texas maybe once, Colorado.
Now, let's check out the '71-72 Lakers. First, the scheduling. During the streak, the Lakers won three sets of back-to-back games — games played on consecutive nights. And that's not counting the four times the Lakers won back-to-back-to-back games. Three games in three nights. That was an old favorite of the NBA — especially the weekends. Teams often would play Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And they did so in the days of commercial travel, which meant short nights and long plane rides with tall legs and cramped seats.
As for the competition, the 1971-72 NBA consisted of 17 teams, but there still was the same general distribution of quality teams and rumdums. The Lakers and the Bucks each finished in the 60s for wins — LA 69-13, Milwaukee 63-19. That Bucks team was the defending NBA champion and had a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, playing the game as well as it's ever been played.
In the 50s for wins were Chicago (57-25), Boston (56-26) and the Warriors (51-31). In the 40s were the Suns (49-33), Knickerbockers (48-34) and Sonics (47-35). The Bullets were mediocre, 38-44, but eventually made the NBA Finals, led by Earl Monroe. The rest of the league was largely trash.
During their streak, the Lakers went 3-0 against the Celtics, winning once in Boston. The Lakers went 1-0 against the Bucks, in a game at LA. the Lakers went 1-0 against the Bulls, in a game in Chicago. The Lakers went 2-0 vs. the Suns, winning once in Phoenix. The Lakers went 3-0 against the Warriors, winning twice in Oakland. The Lakers went 4-0 against the Sonics, winning twice in Seattle. The Lakers went 1-0 against the Knicks.
That's a record of 15-0 against teams that eventually finished with at least 47 victories. Seven of those 15 wins were on the road.
From Nov. 5-7, the Lakers beat the Bullets 110-106 in LA, the Warriors 105-89 in Oakland and the Knicks 103-96 back in LA.
From Nov. 12-14, the Lakers beat the Sonics 115-107 in LA, the Blazers 130-108 in Portland and the Celtics 128-115 back in LA.
From Dec. 8-10, the Lakers beat the Rockets 125-120 in Houston, the Warriors 124-111 in Oakland and the Suns 126-117 in overtime back in LA.
From Dec. 17-19, the Lakers beat the Warriors 129-99 in LA, the Suns 132-106 in Phoenix and the 76ers 154-132 in LA.
Nine of those 33 victories were by single digits, but remarkably, none except the overtime game against Phoenix were closer than four points.
You know, this really isn't a Laker-OU debate. It's more of a Laker-Heat debate. LeBron James says the competition is much tougher these days, but I don't know if I buy it. There are more good players in the world today. There also is 30 teams in the NBA, which makes for a watered-down league.
The Lakers during their winning streak were running into the John Havlicek Celtics, or the Walt Frazier/Willis Reed Knicks, or the Jabbar Bucks, or the Chet Walker/Bob Love/Norm Van Lier/Jerry Sloan Bulls, or the Nate Thurmond Warriors, or the Spencer Haywood/Lenny Wilkens Sonics, about twice a week.
And they did it sometimes playing their third game in 48 hours, having flown TWA from Cincinnati or some such place to get back to Los Angeles.
Sorry, LeBron and OU fans. The Laker streak might not be the most impressive in sports history. But I can't think of a better one.

Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY Sports
Marvin Miller, 95, who formed the Major League Baseball Players Association in 1966 and helped transform sports economics, died Tuesday morning, the union announced.
Miller, who turned the union into one of the most powerful in the country, negotiated the first collective bargaining agreement in sports history in 1968. Six years later, he successfully challenged the "reserve clause'' when Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally played out the option years of their contract. Players were granted free agency after six years of major league service, which was formalized in the next collective bargaining agreement.
The minimum salary was $6,000 when Millerformed the union, and today, the minimum salary is worth $480,000. Miller also bargained for salary arbitration, which has been responsible for salaries tosoar for players before entering free agency. The average salary was $3.4 million in 2012. He also helped players negotiate the right to arbitration to resolve grievances.
Miller was called by Hall of Fame broadcaster Red Barber as one of the two or three most important men in baseball history, along with Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. Yet, he was never inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame.
Miller also led union through three strikes, and two lockouts, which perhaps damaged his Hall of Fame chances. He fell short in the executive balloting in 2003, 2007 and 2011, with Hall of Famers Joe Morgan and Tom Seaver endorsing Miller.
Former major league pitcher Jim Bouton was openly critical of the election, saying: "Essentially, the decision for putting a union leader in the Hall of Fame was handed over to a bunch of executives and former executives. Marvin Miller kicked their butts and took power away from the baseball establishment. Do you really think those people are going to vote him in? It's a joke.
"I blame the players. It's their Hall of Fame; it's their balls and bats that make the hall what it is. ...Do they think they became millionaires because of the owners' generosity?"
When Miller wasn't elected last time, he announced that he no longer wanted to be considered for the honor.
"I find myself unwilling to contemplate one more rigged Veterans Committee, whose members are handpicked to reach a particular outcome while offering a pretense of a democratic vote,'' he said. "It is an insult to baseball fans, historians,sportswriters, and especially to those baseball players who sacrificed and brought the game into the 21st century. At the age of 91, I can do without farce."
Miller's successors, Michael Weiner and Don Fehr, also issued statements critical of the vote.
"Marvin's legacy is undiminished by this vote,'' said Weiner, who replaced Fehr as the union's executive director. "The Hall, by contrast, squandered a chance to better itself as an institution."

FRESNO, Calif. - Washington State University dropped an 82-59 decision at Fresno State University Friday. Junior forward Brandi Thomas led the Cougars with 11 points after knocking down three from behind the arc.
WSU (2-5) shot 40 percent from the field but were held to 34.5 percent in the second half while Fresno State shot 51.6 percent from the floor and outscored the Cougars 51-24 in the second half. The Bulldogs, an NCAA Tournament participant the last five seasons, improved their record to 3-2.
Freshman guard Lia Galdeira added 10 points and sophomore guard Tia Presley finished with eight points. Freshman forward Mariah Cooks posted seven points and three rebounds off the bench while sophomore forward Shalie Dheensaw added six points and five boards.
The Cougars jumped all over Fresno State in the opening minutes as Galdeira, Thomas and Romberg each knocked down threes before Presley capped the 11-0 run with a driving layup.
Midway through the first half, FSU settled in and put together its own 11-0 run and later took its first lead of the game 31-30 with 1:33 remaining. The Cougars battled back and closed the half with an 8-2 run as Thomas and Presley highlighted the run with a pair of threes by Thomas and a layup from Presley who capped the run by winning a scramble for a rebound on the offensive end and got the layup to fall seconds before the buzzer sounded.
Thomas led WSU with nine first-half points as Fresno State kept things close by scoring 14 points off of the Cougars ten turnovers.
Romberg opened the second half with a bucket and Noyes followed minutes later with a pair of baskets but Fresno State answered in a big way. The Bulldogs went to their press and put together a deciding 24-9 run that gave them a double-digit lead midway through half.
Thomas brought WSU within 11 with a nice turnaround in the lane and junior forward Hana Potter drew a charge. Fresno State came right back down with a bucket and another three to pull away for good.
The Cougars will have two weeks off to focus on finals before hosting The Ohio State University Saturday, Dec. 15 at Beasley Coliseum.

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Maria Sharapova dominated yet
another opponent at Melbourne Park, this time crushing Belgium's Kirsten
Flipkens, 6-1, 6-0, to gain a quarterfinal berth at the Australian Open.
The No. 2 seeded Sharapova, the 2008 champion and two-time Aussie Open runner-
up, has lost just five games over her first four matches at this fortnight.
Her result Sunday set up an all Russian quarterfinal encounter with
Ekaterina Makarova, a rematch from the same stage last year here. Sharapova
won in straight sets in that match before beating Petra Kvitova and then
falling to Victoria Azarenka in the final.
Makarova pushed to the quarterfinals by disposing of fifth-seeded German
Angelique Kerber, 7-5, 6-4. The 19th-seeded Makarova, whose best Grand Slam
result came a year ago at Melbourne Park, overcame 29 unforced errors and five
double faults.
Also on Sunday, fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska takes her perfect 2013
record into Rod Laver Arena against former world No. 1 Ana Ivanovic,
while sixth-seeded Li Na faces Julia Goerges.

|PCEDC recognizes strengths in working together
|Written by April Peregoy
"Become Stronger by Working Together" was the theme of the annual Phillips County Economic Development Corporation (PCEDC) meeting held Monday, March 30, and many community members were honored for their collaborations.
Two organizations earned Collaboration Awards from PCEDC Monday night: Engage Haxtun and the Holyoke and Haxtun Ambulance Services.
Engage Haxtun is a collaboration of the Haxtun school district, hospital, city, economic development, Chamber of Commerce and Vision Committee. As PCEDC executive director Nici Bishop explained, the community came together to identify projects and goals that are most important to the town. They then prioritized them and everyone works together to support one project at a time. In 2008, that project was the new Haxtun Child Care Center.
Holyoke and Haxtun Ambulance Services work together to provide emergency care in the county. Since the early 1990s, Phillips County has received funding from the state for Emergency Medical Services. A council was formed and a plan adopted to split the money evenly between the two ambulance services.
The council worked out an intergovernmental agreement on putting money towards purchasing a new ambulance every three-four years. Also, the newest and oldest ambulances are traded yearly. One hospital will get the newest and oldest ambulances for one year, and the other the following year. The ambulance services also agree to back each other up if one hospital's ambulances are all being used at the same time.
Another award, the 2008 Board Recognition, was given to Jim McBee for his eight years of service on the PCEDC board. However, McBee was absent from Monday's meeting.
In her report, Bishop touched briefly on the projects the corporation has been a part of in the past year. One major project getting recent attention is the possibility of a Wisdom Poultry Processing Facility being located in Haxtun. PCEDC has been working with Jim Keeler, economic development manager with NMPP Energy, and Mark Hutchison, food industry condultant with University of Nebraska-Lincoln, to apply for grant funding.
Currently, said Bishop, the project has received a $15,500 grant from the Colorado Dept. of Agriculture to conduct a feasibility study. Now they are just waiting for the paperwork and expect to start the study soon. If it is found to be feasible, she added, they can then tap into more grants.
Another project mentioned by Bishop was Pamida. Even though the new store will not be built, she believes some successes came out of the project. First, PCEDC was able to bridge the gap between the City of Holyoke and the landowner when there was a stalemate on annexing the land south of town. This is important, she added, because this area is now available for future development by the city.
Another positive that came out of the ordeal is the new Pamida Pharmacy. Before Pamida came in, said Bishop, the current pharmacist was looking to close or sell the business. Because Pamida bought it, Holyoke still has a local pharmacy.
Recent board activities include the adoption of a new policy governing NECALG funding received from Enterprize Zone projects within the county. The intent of the funding is to promote entrepreneurship and new business development within Phillips County.
The policy and procedure that was adopted outlines eligibility requirements and the evaluation process through which applicants are chosen. For more specific information on those requirements and to pick up an application, contact Bishop at 854-4386.
Big changes are being made to the PCEDC web site, announced Bishop. The board recently approved an update, which is expected to be completed by the end of the summer. Bishop promises it will have a whole new look and be much more user friendly. She noted the new site will feature more pictures of Phillips County and people are encouraged to send their photos in for consideration.
Youth engagement is another area PCEDC has been working on by helping local FBLA students with business plans and getting both Holyoke and Haxtun students to participate in Rural Ameritown. Haxtun has applied what they've learned to start their own coffee shop business, and Bishop said she hopes Holyoke will soon follow its example.
She also touched briefly on Phillips County community projects such as the Haxtun Child Care Center, the Haxtun Centennial throws and the new Event Center building, as well as the great Phillips County representation that was present at Rural Philanthropy Days in Burlington over the past summer.
Bishop pointed out she is now a certified business counselor with the Small Business Development Center, and is able to provide assistance to new businesses and expansions. She is working with SBDC directors to host a NxLevel training course this fall. She explained it is an intensive, eight-class course designed to teach prospective business owners the details of making a business plan.
Keynote speaker Susann Mikkelson of Rocky Mountain Farmers Union was there to promote the RMFU's Hometown Community Foundation program.
Mikkelson began by pointing out there is going to be a huge transfer of wealth from one generation to the next in the next 50 years, as baby boomers age. With younger generations moving out of rural areas, this means that wealth leaves with them.
Establishing a community foundation, said Mikkelson, would give community members the means to manage charitable donations through estate planning. Rather than donating to a private entity, residents could donate to the general fund, with the established community foundation board choosing which projects to donate to.
The benefit, she said, is these foundations can provide many services to donors who want to keep their estate in their community but want to avoid the administrative and legal costs of starting independent foundations. It also allows those who are not millionaires to donate what they can.
Bishop added after Mikkelson's speech that PCEDC board members have been in talks for several years with RMFU about establishing a Community Foundation in Phillips County.
Current members of the board include Alicia Schram, Tom Bennett, Mark Farnsworth, Lyle McBride, Randy Schafer, Jamie Tori, Jared Anderson, Ray Bailey and Candie Salyards.
PCEDC's demographics cover the entire county, including Amherst, Haxtun, Holyoke and Paoli.
