All aboard the Wilbon Train! #BearsWontWinAnotherGame - Moving on, do you think Rip has enough in the tank to be a real difference-maker for the Bulls? Was this the ideal scenario for a solution to the 2-guard issue considering skills, price, and experience?
mike wilbon (2:20 PM)
Hi Everybody...Thanks for joining me at a later hour than usual...We'll jump right into NFL and NBA stuff, which goodness knows there is plenty of to talk about...Yes, the Bears season is over. Not officially...but in effect it is. The Bears are 0-3 without Jay Cutler, the defense having allowed a grand total of ONE TD in each game (at Oakland, Chiefs, at Denver) and I doubt they'll win another game because I don't think they can beat Seattle, which is coming on strong, and forget about Green Bay on Christmas Night. Yes, Chicago, it's time to move on to D-Rose and the Bulls and I do think Richard Hamilton, a.k.a. Rip Hamilton, has enough in the tank. Last year I was DRIVING the Rip-to-the-Bulls bandwagon and I jumped off it and onto the Jason Richardson bandwagon, which left the station sporting Orlando blue/black/white because J-Rich got $6 million more from Orlando than he could have gotten from the Bulls. I understand...BUT
mike wilbon (2:21 PM)
...(part 2 of Rip Hamilton answer)......BUT Hamilton, at 33, is quite possibly a better fit. He doesn't shoot the 3 as well but brings championship experience (two NBA Finals) and knows how to play off a great lead guard...The Bulls need age. They're losing Kurt Thomas (signed with Portland) and need old guys. Young guys don't do squat in the spring in the NBA. Old guys do. See Mavericks last June...Rip doesn't have to average 17, just 12-14 a game, play the defense he's always played...talk to the young bucks about when to take nap, when to stay home, when to calm down, when to be excited, when to throw an elbow, when not to...He would bring KNOW-how...I just hope it actually happens, I mean really HAPPENS, not almost, not should, not about to...I want to see it done...
John (Lakewood, CO)
Real Men of Genius - NOT starring Marion Barber. I'm beginning to think Tebow actually has a deal with the devil. Ponder's horrible INT at the end of the game last week. Barber's brainlock and fumble. EVIL things happening to teams playing the Broncos
mike wilbon (2:23 PM)
Ain't that the truth! Barber's running out of bounds is unforivably stupid. Seriouslys, people who know me know how often I make fun of the Cowboys for being brainless...What better (worse) example can you use as Exhibit A than Barber costing his team those 30 or so valuable seconds...And a season...And then to fumble! At this point I think there are only 2 defenses Tebow can't even solve for 13 points: Ravens and Steelers, in whatever order...But Tebow is something else, he's some kinda story...Well, there I go...THE BRONCOS are some kinda story.

Yesterday's Redskins v Patriots game may have set NFL officiating back a few decades.
mike wilbon (2:25 PM)
It was bad, stupid calls going both ways. Just remember, if you tackle Tom Brady it's 50-50 there's a penalty assessed....It's runing my enjoyment of pro football, seriously. As debatable as NBA officiating ALWAYS is, at least star treatment was built in from the start! And it's not based on legislating against a certain position or style of play. Someday a head linesman is going to simply say, "15 yards, on the defense, #91...tackling Tom Brady!"
Brett (St. Louis)
Hi Mike, love your stuff. I'm a Packers fan, and after seeing the success and undefeated season so far this year I got to thinking, why has there been so many undefeated teams this late in the season recently. The Colts, Saints, and Patriots have all reached double digit wins while being undefeated recently. I'm still very young, so I can't remember more than a decade or so back, but has this always been common in the NFL? If not, why do you think it is happening now? Is it because of the number of elite quarterbacks in the league combined with the rule changes favoring the pass?
mike wilbon (2:29 PM)
Thanks...No, it never used to happen. And now it happens all the time and I have yet to hear a single reason, that makes any sense, as to why. Cyclical? Yeah, probably...But how about the winless teams as well. That didn't happen either. Now, we've had the Lions and Colts...how about that poor kid on the Colts, a backup QB, who was on the winless Lions as well...Goodness, is he scarred for life or what? I'mm not going to phony up a bunch of reasons because I haven't heard any good ones...I don't think the Packers will go 3-0 in the playoffs because I don't think their defense is good enough. I could see them losing to the Steelers or Ravens because they DO play defense...But the Packers are going undfeated in the regular season, book it! And even though I'm a lifelong Bears fan I find it hard to hate these Packers because the team has so many guys I've gotten to know personally a little bit, and like a lot, from Aaron Rodgers to Charles Woodson to Greg Jennings...Very likeable, professional people...
dc (dc)
After yesterday's call against London Fletcher, the NFL should probably just go ahead an give Tom Brady a bright yellow no contact practice jersey, no?
mike wilbon (2:29 PM)
Yes. It's embarassing...I've been on this for three years. Glad others are joining me.
PTI Sports fans (everywhere)
Hey Wilbon, remind us again how many championships the Bears have won since you've been born...about the same as the Eagles right. We won't talk about the cubs
mike wilbon (2:34 PM)
Since I was born? 2...1963 and 1985. The Eagles have won how many in that time? I believe the correct answer, Know-it-all, is one, 1960. So that's two since the Eagles won an NFL Championship. And didn't the Blackhawks just dismiss the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2010? And hasn't it been almost 30 years since your basketball team won? Please, go away now, slink away quietly...
Aaron (Texas)
David Stern needs to retire. Just get him out of here. Whoever approved letting the league control one of it's teams needs to leave as well. This uncontrollable bias is seriously starting to kill my passion for the NBA.
mike wilbon (2:36 PM)
Well-said...Really, I don't have much to add...Any disgust with David Stern's behavior recently, specifically this business of voiding the Chris Paul trade to the Lakers, is justifiable. The whole thing is foul and should be beneath a man as smart and as accomplished as David Stern. But I doubt seriously you'll see anything that suggests a little self-criticism...just more signs of a man whose ego as run amok...
Jason (Chicago)
The other day I was watching you discuss with your fellow NBA analysts and Magic mentioned KD being the best player in the league. You guys all asked, ?Better than Lebron/Wade/ Kobe ?Bean? Bryant?. Dirk was not mentioned once by any of you and he played better than all of those players without a fellow all star. My question is, in your eyes, what will it take to get Dirk at least in the conversation of ?best player in the league??
mike wilbon (2:38 PM)
Dirk doesn't need to be best player in the league. He's the leader of THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM...That's what counts most, right? The guy is wearing the ring. His team was the last one standing! My all-pro preseason team in the NBA would be D-Rose and Kobe (or D-Wade) in the backcourt, LeBron, Durant and Dwight Howard in the front court. And guess what...They ALL want what Dirk now has...There are always two levels of observing the NBA, the one that focuses on individual and the one that focuses on team...Dirk's got the one that matters most to me.
Chris (Houston)
How about that team that is on its third string qb, has been without its top wr for over half the year, without its top defensive player for most of the year, and keeps on winning? How about some love for the Houston Texans!!
mike wilbon (2:40 PM)
Love. There it is. They've earned it. Kudos to their scouts and executives for getting it right with T.J. Yates...as opposed to the Bears who got it dead ugly wrong with Caleb Hanie...Hey, Yates is probably the second-best QB the Texans have. Why wouldn't they feel pretty darned good going into the playoffs! To be missing the players they've had injured and keep trucking! Big ups!
Lon (IN)
Was Lamar O really traded because of the Reality show with his wife?
mike wilbon (2:40 PM)
Uh, no.
Brian (Chicago)
Why does Xavier coach Mack trot out Tu Holloway after the brawl for a post-game press conference?? You cannot let your players talk to the media when they are still fired up from the altercation.
mike wilbon (2:41 PM)
Well said. That was hideous, all of it. And there's plenty of blame to go around. The NCAA should tack on time to the school-imposed suspensions, but I do give Cincy credit for jumping right in and sitting guys down...
ted (cape cod)
With Sidney Crosby out indefinitely again, and Flyers Chris Pronger is too. Is it safe to say these two NHL superstars careers are done?
mike wilbon (2:43 PM)
Hold on now...We need to know more about Crosby...and Pronger...But in Crosby's case, we're talking about a guy who is, what, 24 years old? I admit, it's scary...remember when Paul Kariya was one of the best young players in the NHL, maybe the best...It was back in 1998...He suffered multiple head injuries and was never the same, and I think is retired now, which is unthinkable...I don't want to look too far ahead...I just hope Crosby is back this season and can stay healthy. It's so depressing to think otherwise. He's only the best player in the league. What sport has had this happen? Not the NBA, NFL or MLB that I can think of...
Skeeter (New Orleans)
Will Mike Ditka be the next Penn State coach ?
mike wilbon (2:44 PM)
What? I cannot imagine that.
Paul (Houston)
Better chance: Dwight changing his mind and re-signing with Orlando or the Broncos Tebowing to the AFC Championship game?
mike wilbon (2:44 PM)
Tebow going to the AFC title game. Dwight's gone, Bro...Going, going...
Ian (Sandy Springs )
Will the Bears look to Brett to save the season ?
mike wilbon (2:44 PM)
The Bears season is done. Brett hasn't even played in more than a year. What makes you think he could do anything?
Dusty (St. Louis)
Was firing Todd Haley the right call? I'm a chiefs fan and I really liked Haley. Injuries have killed the team this year and if it was up to me Pioli would be the first one fired.
mike wilbon (2:46 PM)
That kinda surprised me, given what happened with your starting QB. Does that mean the Bears should fire Lovie Smith for what is about to be an 0-6 finish? I think that would be insane but it'll be discussed if the Bears lose-out after the Cutler injury, which should surprise nobody if it happens. No starting QB in the NFL usually spells doom. Ask the colts.
Ryan (Dayton) [via mobile]
I understand that it was a tough loss for Chicago but what's with the sour grapes comment from Urlacher calling Tebow a good "running back"? just seems catty to me after the fact...
mike wilbon (2:47 PM)
Oh, wow, I didn't hear that...Well, pretty impressive for a running back to go 7-for-7 on the most important drive of the game, the one that produces the TD that wins the game. It's too much to ask the Bears defense to NEVER give up a TD simply because the QB is incompetent...But fact is, the Bears KNEW they couldn't allow Tebow to lead a TD drive and they couldn't stop him when it mattered.
mike wilbon (2:48 PM)
By the way, you sure Brian Urlacher wasn't being sarcastic?
Sean (Colorado)
Michael, I initially loved the response by Cincy's coach during the presser after the brawl. But the suspensions handed down by the universities after basically condone the hideous behavior by both sides. Gates punch and #13's stomp are the worst aspects but the statements made by Xavier in the press conference make me think, well, let's just say it ended when it did. Embarrassing. Anything bigger powers (NCAA) can do and isn't it time we start dragging these "gangsters" into court to face a real judge and jury? Thanks for the good work!
mike wilbon (2:49 PM)
I'll repeat, the NCAA ought to get involved with tougher suspensions and public warnings. So, I mostly agree with you...
Shayler Neal (Beech Grove,IN)
Do you think the Colts should trade their pick to Miami (2nd worst team) and get a couple defensive players to build up their defense or just draft Luck and let him have some knowledge from Manning. I know you probably get this ? a lot but i just want a good answer from a actual sports man
mike wilbon (2:51 PM)
I think I'd take Oliver Luck...I think I would. Thing is, Peyton is going to be, what, 37? If you could be assured of getting a great DE and a great CB, say the kids from Alabama and LSU, I might do it...especially if you study RGIII or Matt Barkley or one of the other QBs enough to think they'd do as well as Luck...It's a very, very tough call. I like RGIII for Heisman, but I think I like Luck better as a pro...But if RGIII turns out to be Drew Brees-like...and you could have gotten him and a defensive stud in the draft...
Nate (Los Angeles)
Why is Jennings on the field up 31 points? Run the ball and go completely vanilla with the offense. Shoot, Rodgers, should have been out as well, get Flynn some game time action. Your thoughts?
mike wilbon (2:52 PM)
My thought is your thought...And we're right. The proof is in the result.
javi (los angeles)
Is Dan Gilbert running the NBA? or is it Mark Cuban?
mike wilbon (2:52 PM)
The league would be a lot better off if Mark Cuban was running it. What the hell has Dan Gilbert ever done but own a team that couldn't get it right in 7 years with LeBron James? It's like, get over it already. Get a life. He left you. Move on. There are other fish in the sea. He's a pathetic little man.
Jason (Chicago)
Why would you take Durant over Dirk right now? I'm not talking future stuff, I'm talking this second. Dirk is wiser and proved he IS better. Durant's best game against Dallas in the playoffs, Dirk played BETTER that game. Nobody will answer why they don't considor Dirk. Is it because of the flashiness? Dirk is smarter and better... proof was given last year. If Durant does what Dirk did last year, all you analysts would have gone nuts over him. But it's a tall, boring, white guy so he doesn't count... right?
mike wilbon (2:55 PM)
Depends on whether you're asking would I draft Durant over Dirk right now? Yes. If I had to win a game tonight, which one would I take? Dirk. By the end of May? I think Durant. The great players eventually emerge in the NBA. And older players recede. Dirk also had a better, smarter, more unselfish team around him than Durant did. Dirk's guards know enough to get HIM the ball. Durant's did not.
Rob (San Antonio)
In your opinion have the 49ers come back down to earth?
mike wilbon (2:56 PM)
One loss, on the road, to a division rival that is finally playing like it should have been all season? That means the 49ers are crashing to earth? They've lost to Dallas in OT, at Baltimore and at Arizona. Sorry, a 12-4 finish for the Niners would still make for a remarkable season.
Will (Grand Rapids)
mike wilbon (3:00 PM)
I'm going to answer one of these questions because I find it difficult to believe sometimes that so many people can be such morons. If you know who I am I presume (though perhaps I shouldn't) you know I co-host PTI, a show where the two people on the set don't even have the same opinion. So, if you're smart enough to know that (perhaps leap) you should be smart enough to see that no two people on ESPN feel the same way about anything, or have the same opinion about anything. So I would presume you'd be smart enough to then know that people in a huge company like ESPN disagree on all kinds of things, including what they believe about something as complex as the Penn State situation. So, if you're are even the slightest bit literate, you and the people who think everybody who works for ESPN is of one mind, you'll know people have varying opinions on Penn State as well. So, you're screaming--and you aren't the only one--is a waste of time and ignorant of the facts. Just open your ears and listen to the difference of opinion even ON THE AIR from ESPN people about all elements of Penn State. The only thing we probably agree on is we feel for the victims and their parents. Other than that, please get a clue.
ted (cape cod)
I agree, Wilbon.It's sad to see but this is exactly the Eric Lindros situation all over again. Superstar talent which is going to be lost to concussion problems. Even though I'm enjoying this season watching Tim Thomas play goalie, Crosby really moves the casual fan needle for hockey.
mike wilbon (3:01 PM)
Thanks for pointing out the Lindros situation, which, yes, is another case of an NHL mega star not having the impact he could/should because of head injuries. The sport had best do something dramatic now...
Paul (Houston)
Is it just me or is OKC a shoe-in to represent the West in the NBA Finals? (Barring major injury, of course) Dallas and LA's rosters are in-flux, SA's age, Memphis likely losing Gasol, Clippers probably still a year away even if they get CP3...
mike wilbon (3:02 PM)
You would think so, right? OKC has to be the fave, BUT is Russell Westbrook going to admit to himself Durant is the best player on that team? or is he going to spend the entire playoffs trying to make the point that he is? And remember, teams emerge, teams evolve, teams fall back...that's why they play the games!

House of the rising fun
New house blues. They put the carpet in where it shouldn't be. They made the bathroom floor all wrong for drainage. There's no bolt lock on the door, yet. I had to insist on one being installed (easier than replacing all my belongings, yes??) Then there are the usual Nepali problems everyone is having, like electricity only 10 hours a day if you are lucky, and connectivity issues.
There's not a stick of furniture in it, yet. I have to buy stove, fridge, gas cylinder for the stove, bed, mattress, chairs and all. For some reason they were kind enough to install a huge heavy wooden armoire in one corner, taking up precious dance space. Armoire, but no bed or chairs. Aunties are very big on armoires.
And so on. No date for a new-house puja yet, nor a housewarming party. Here are a few photos.This is the living space, complete with coffin-like intrusive armoire that i did not ask for. But essential things like a floor? That you have to beg for.
This will be the sleep-chamber. I could have a double bed but then there will not be room to have a nightstand AND open the door.
Kitchen area, brand new kitchen with tiles and marble. Loving it.

Orange County in the Boston Marathon
On the morning of Monday, April 19, 25,000 runners will cross the starting line in Hopkinton, Mass., to begin the 114th Boston Marathon.
Men and women from across the globe will flock to Boston to cheer and participate in the oldest and most famous marathon on the planet.
Orange County will be well represented in the race, founded in 1897, as many local athletes plan on making a pilgrimage to one of long-distance running's most sacred events.
According to Runner's World Magazine, only 4 percent of marathon finishers qualify for Boston, and those who do have many tales to tell and lifelong memories to share.
While we don't claim to know all the Orange County runners competing in Boston this year, this is a good number of them.
We featured eight runners on the April 12 Outdoor's page, and we will run more in Sunday's local section April 18 and then the rest on next Monday's Outdoors page, on April 19, which is the day of the race.

West Australian Opposition Leader Mark McGowan discusses North West WA issues
Mr McGowan flew into the North West this morning and was eager to hear about the issues facing people in the booming region.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Newly elected Opposition Leader Mark McGowan is wasting no time since taking over the state's Labor Party, keeping busy in the build-up to an election that's yet to be called.
He walked into the ABC's North West studios with a relaxed air, wearing jeans and boots, but never-the-less ready for business.
So what was the reason behind his visit?
Apparently he saw the need to reinforce his connections with the communities and industry here in Karratha and Port Hedland.
The Opposition Leader also expressed his party's intentions to win the Pilbara seat at the next State election; amid speculation Nationals Leader Brendon Grylls will give up his Central-Wheatbelt seat to contest the seat.
"If he wants to be a fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) candidate, we will have a local candidate that understands the concerns, who lives here and is very much in tune with the interests of local people."
Mr McGowan said that the pre-selection process is underway and he expects his party will announce their candidate within the next few months.
The Opposition Leader also impressed his support for the Royalties for Region's program, which Minister Grylls has been a strong advocate for, however he said it hasn't done enough.
"It needs to better reward the areas that actually produce the royalties versus some of those areas that are in close proximity to Perth."
The proposed gas hub in the Kimberley was also an issue which constituents were keen to hear the Labor leader's view on, particularly if his approach would be different to that of Premier Colin Barnett's.
"I was appalled by the way he truncated earlier processes that would have reached an amicable outcome.
"He ignored the concerns, the social concerns in relation to the cost of housing and the cost of living in the Broome area, if I was elected Premier that is not the way I'd go about things."
Mr McGowan did suggest that his party agreed with the State Government's position on one thing though: the impact of FIFO on workers and local communities.
"I think the best solution to that is to ensure you have sufficient residential opportunities available for people to live in these areas and that's the best way to do it, and that means good schools, good hospitals and good law and order services in addition to that."
He also reassured listeners who voiced concerns about the gap in regional health services, such as the need for a cancer unit in the region.
"I grew up in a country town; I understand a lot of the issues surrounding having to go to the city to do anything.
"So as Regional Development spokesperson that will be a focus for me."
Listen here online to hear more of what the Opposition Leader had to say about issues facing the region as he spoke with Gemma Snowdon on ABC Northwest Mornings during his visit.

I'm building a paid membership site in php using the Zend Framework. I need to work out a workflow for charging users. We have a number of monthly packages each offering varying degrees of services. For an example:
A free plan which allows users to create one workspace and one user
A Basic plan which allows to create 5 workspaces and 3 users and costs 15 dollars/month
A Premium Plan which allows to create 20 workspaces and 10 users and costs 35 dollars/month
A Heavy Duty Plan which allows to create 50 workspaces and 30 users and costs 65 dollars/month
I would mostlikelye be integrating with a third party gateway like AlertPay for now - however the packages are monthly and :( sorry to say I haven't actually signed up on any monthly membership service site so far and wonder on how do you incrementally charge a user each month.
Do you insist that they enter their credit card details each month or do you actually ask them for the detaisl once and then you charge it monthly - I honestly doubt the latter can even be considered.
Or do users pay in advance for how many months they wish to use - how is it done normally.
Also I would like to give my users a 10 day free trial of all the paid packages upon signing up. How would I implement this in code. I have my application set up and is functioning as though all users were administrators i.e no holds on anything and would now want to build in teh restrictions to monetise but am a bit lost on the work flow and the code implementation and data design to do this.
Reminds me are there any online services or open source applications that I can use to plug in to my application and handle this aspect of the site for me?
Very comprehensive answers, however on a development level - what should I store in my database and how would I design the tables required. I understand not that each month for a monthly subscription a postback would be made to a url I would provide the gateway. Like what would be the bare essentials here for the database.

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Portola Packaging, Inc. is announcing a $12 million capital expenditure in its Kingsport, Tenn. and Tolleson, Ariz. facilities. The investment is being made to accommodate growing market demand for its hot-fill and aseptic beverage closures and increased dairy business market share.
Some of the new capital improvements are already under way, with completion expected by the end of the third quarter. New investments are being made in additional high-speed compression and injection molding equipment as well as in existing production line upgrades. The company projects that approximately 30 production employees will be added to those locations when the increased capacity is operational.
This investment comes on the heels of a previous substantial expenditure—also in high-speed compression and injection molding capacity—made over the past three years.
In line with Portola's ongoing objective to create more efficient, cost-effective facilities and improve the environmental footprint, there also will be infrastructure replacements and upgrades. These will include process water capacity, hvac/dehumidification, electric power service and distribution, resin delivery, etc.
Over the past three years, Portola has grown its beverage closure volume by double-digit percentages annually. Manufacturing and quality initiatives, coupled with new stock and custom closures for tamper evident, aseptic and extended shelf-life applications are responsible for part of the growth—particularly in the juice, dairy and specialty beverage market segments.
"Our focus on lean manufacturing, reliability-centered maintenance, and product rationalization has allowed us to increase unit throughput per employee by 43 percent over the past four years. After the additional capacity is fully operational, we expect to exceed a 75% improvement for the same metric," said Kevin Kwilinski, president and chief executive officer, Portola.
As a result of the decision to expand capacity at the Kingsport and Tolleson facilities, Portola will begin tapering off production at its Batavia, Ill. plant in the middle of April. The facility is expected to be completely shut down no later than August. Geographic location of expected growth opportunities and the level of investment which would have been needed to upgrade this facility were factored into the decision. Affected are 76 employees.
"Our Batavia facility has been producing closures for Portola for the past 20 years. After extensive analysis and careful thought, we came to the conclusion that closing this facility and upgrading production at our other two plants was the best decision for our customers and company. We want to thank our loyal Batavia production workers for their years of service and will be assisting them via outplacement services so they can transition to their next place of employment," Kwilinski said.
The Batavia facility also housed 15 corporate employees (engineering, quality, research and development). That staff will join the rest of the corporate employees in a new, larger corporate headquarters facility in the Naperville, Ill. area.
"Our new and improved U.S. manufacturing footprint will effectively enable us to service our existing customer base while providing a footprint for growth over the coming years. Our Kingsport facility is located in the Northeast corner of Tennessee and is in close proximity to major Northeast, Southeast and Southern shipping lanes as well as a reasonable distance to the Midwest. Our Tolleson location is located in the Phoenix metro area and will primarily serve the Southwest, Northwest and Central U.S. states," Kwilinski concluded.
Going forward, Portola Packaging will operate nine manufacturing facilities around the world: two in the United States, three in Canada and one each in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Russia.

Adams touts impact of Center of Excellence
SoVaNow.com / August 07, 2014The Board of Supervisors heard Monday from Dr. Betty Adams of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center, who talked about the newly established Center of Excellence at the SVHEC — a job training program that focues on "mid-skills" training across 11 southside counties.
Adams described the new center as "a feather in our cap."
Three Centers of Excellence will be established in South Boston, Martinsville and a site to be determined in Southwest Virginia.
Adams said the Virginia Tobacco Commission back in 2011 asked the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to recommend ways that southern and southwest Virginia might be positioned to become an advanced manufacturing hub. BCG recommended that three Centers of Excellence, two in Southside Virginia and a third in Southwest Virginia be established to train middle skilled workers for the 6,000 jobs expected to come this way by 2017.
With the current technical education system unable to meet the projected demand for middle-skill workers BCG reported that a critical skills gap could ruin the opportunity for an advanced manufacturing hub to come to Southside Virginia.
Middle skill workers — welders, precision machinists and industrial maintenance mechanics — will come from high school dual enrollment programs which will feed into community college programs. Or they may come from retired veterans, the unemployed or those changing careers. Under the Center for Excellence model, community college programs in the three priority areas will offer short-term specialty training and hands-on-experience which will quickly elevate students to middle skill level.
Community college programs in the three areas will have the flexibility to be adjusted to lay the foundation for middle skills training that will take place at the Centers of Excellence and will be adjusted to prepare students to qualify for third party, industry recognized specialty level credentials. These industry recognized credentials — through AWS, NIMS and Siemens will be an important selling point in attracting manufacturing prospects to Southern and Southwest Virginia, Adams pointed out.

Look down at your left hand. Focus on the infamous ring finger. Do you have a metal band on the digit in question? If so, at some time you have probably been asked, "How did [he/she/you] pop the question?"
For those of you without a banded ring finger, perhaps one day you too will face "the" question. Possibly your story is romantic, cheesy, humorous or the rare disaster — however it went down, there is a story.
This story represents the unique way you entered into a binding relationship with another person. Most people put at least a little time, money and effort into making the right impression.
But what about your work 'engagement?' When was the last time someone asked, "How did they ask you to join the team?" Or more importantly, "How do you maintain enthusiasm for your job?" Sure, these aren't questions you face very often. But what if your team members were asked about their story?
Most people spend as much, if not more, time with their coworkers than with their wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend or beloved pet. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that restaurant managers actually work 32 percent more hours than the average American — and the average employed American spends 8.6 hours per day working or doing work-related activities.
When you offer a job, you are making as much of a commitment to the applicant as they make to you by accepting. They agree to be present, to be respectful and to do their job as you've defined it... until termination you do part.
In hiring someone, you make similar promises. You will be there for them. You will be respectful of their time and needs. And you will do your job as a manager or owner, which includes investing in your employees and engaging them in their work environment.
When you rely on your employees to be the face of your company, as every restaurant does, you need to be sure they care how diners feel about your business. Many people in the foodservice industry are disengaged. This is not surprising since restaurants can be up against factors like inconsistent hours, lower pay and physically demanding conditions.
So how do you infuse your team with consistent, healthy doses of positive energy? What about implementing a program to encourage them. A recent blog,"4 Great Tools to Boost Employee Engagement," highlights new research on recognition programs that can be used to keep employees engaged. It also suggests a few Web-based recognition tools that can help make the work relationship successful.
According to the latest research by Bersin & Associates, "companies with effective recognition programs [have] 31 percent lower voluntary turnover than those with ineffective recognition programs." Imagine if there was a tool that could lower divorce rates by 31 percent. Every married couple would use it.
Engaged employees can increase revenue per interaction, improve repeat business and ensure customer advocacy. Recognition tools give employers a way to recognize employees and reward team members who are invested in the company.
Every job offer may not be like getting down on one knee with a ring in a Tiffany's box, but you are offering someone a work engagement. Make sure you do your part to live up to the deal.
