|The iPhone Was Designed in California and the Moto X Was Born in the USA: Should We Care?
By Michael Comeau JUL 05, 2013 9:00 AM
Apple and Motorola are appealing to our sense of patriotism, which has this writer scratching his head.
I'd take my pants off and check where they came from, but I don't want to create an HR problem here at Minyanville's global headquarters.
So does "Made in America" matter any more?
I would say no, judging by America's collective addiction (present company included) to cheap goods produced in markets like China.
Nonetheless, the two most dominant technology companies on planet Earth -- Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) -- have been making efforts at reflecting some level of patriotism.
The back of my iPhone says "Designed by Apple in California" -- a phrase the company considers a signature.
And in fact, the company recently released a 60-second commercial under that name, in which it outlines its design manifesto:
The commercial bombed. Our friends over at Bloomberg reported that this ad scored very poorly in terms of effectiveness -- the worst of 26 Apple TV ads aired over the past year, and actually below the industry average.
It's not hard to see why. The ad is sanctimonious and braggadocious.
As a comparison, take a look at what I would consider two of Apple's best ads.
There's the iPhone 4 FaceTime commercial, which is off-the-charts sentimental (I found the soldier looking at the sonogram to be a cheap shot), but amazingly effective because it showed what FaceTime can do while tugging at our heartstrings:
And then there's the older ad from the Think Different campaign entitled "The Architect":
Featuring Danish artist Ingvar Cronhammar, this unique commercial accomplished two things that set it apart from other tech companies: 1) It associated Apple with the beauty and aspirations of true creativity, and 2) It screamed out that Apple really was a different company.
But "Designed in California"?
Meh. That piece doesn't really stand out from the typical lifestyle-based advertising we see on TV today.
The fact that Apple products are designed in California seems completely immaterial.
Apple products are special because the company's designers actually care about making something different and interesting.
Why should the location matter to consumers, as long as the product itself is awesome?
In fact, merely bringing up the fact that Apple products are designed in California forces me to think about the other location-based phrase on my iPhone: assembled in China.
And that makes the whole "designed in California" thing look like a diversion from some of the unpleasantries involved in manufacturing devices overseas.
Now I'm sure none of this was missed by the bigwigs at Google's Motorola unit, which unveiled its Moto X phone yesterday on the Fourth of July with this message appearing on the information sign-up page:
"Designed by You" means what it says: customization options.
According to a report from ABC News, buyers will be able to choose colors for the phone's casing and trim, make a personal engraving on the back, and upload a photo in advance to serve as the wallpaper. That doesn't seem terribly interesting.
But using the word "designed" in conjunction wtih "Assembled in the USA" -- Texas specifically -- is interesting because it's a dig at Apple, which has had plenty of fun in advertising at the expense of another tech giant, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), which was viciously mocked in the "Get a Mac" commercials:
And here's the rest of Motorola's message from the sign-up page, where the company really drills it down:
I admit, my first reaction was "Ooh! more jobs for robots!"
The first smartphone designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA is coming.
It's also the first smartphone that you can design yourself. Because today you should have the freedom to design the things in your life to be as unique as you are.
And this is just the beginning. By the end of the summer we expect there to be more than 2000 new employees in Ft. Worth, TX, working to make all of this possible. Imagine what else you can do when you have the world's best design, engineering, and manufacturing talent located here in the USA.
So unless they're getting ready to move all manufacturing to the US, it's a little soon to get uppity on this issue.
Our Motorola business also has facilities outside the US, and nearly all of our Motorola products (other than some prototypes) are manufactured outside the US, primarily in China, Taiwan, and Brazil.

Ducati Prepares to Race at Home
The Ducati Team has travelled from Germany back home to Mugello, where the Italian Grand Prix will take place on Sunday. The circuit that twists through the Tuscan hills north of Florence is one of Valentino Rossi's favourites, and the Italian has no fewer than nine wins there across all classes.
Nicky Hayden, who made the Mugello podium in 2006, is also fond of the circuit. At the Sachsenring, both riders made some promising adjustments to the setups of their GP12s, and now they hope to also confirm the effectiveness at of those changes at the fast Italian circuit.
As always, thousands of ducatisti will converge upon the two beautiful Correntaio grandstands to cheer for the Ducati Team.
VALENTINO ROSSI, Ducati Team
"Last Sunday at the Sachsenring, we used a setup that enabled us to be more consistent and to stress the rear tyre a bit less so that we still had a decent pace at the end of the race. It was our best result of the year so far in the dry, so now we'll start from that base in an effort to improve at Mugello. It's the Italian Grand Prix, so everyone, including myself, must make an extra effort to do well in our home race. It's one of the nicest tracks in the world, in terms of the layout of the circuit, the atmosphere and all the fans that come to watch us and support us. We really have to try to do our best."
NICKY HAYDEN, Ducati Team
"Although I still have a bitter taste in my mouth about last week's race, I'm very much looking forward to Mugello. It's one of the best tracks and races of the whole year, especially being there on a Ducati. I'm sure we'll have a lot of support, and it's a pretty busy weekend, but it's a race and an event that I enjoy. It's certainly not an easy track, as it's very technical and you've really got to be on your marks there. It will be one of the tracks where we really get to open up the 1000s, and I'm expecting some pretty high top speeds. It hasn't been an easy track for me with Ducati, but I like it a lot. We need to try to put the whole weekend together and do a good result on Sunday, when it really counts."
VITTORIANO GUARESCHI, Team Manager
"Racing at home, at the end of a stretch of three races in a row, is truly a big responsibility for both the team and the riders, but at the same time, it gives us extra motivation. There's a big difference between a short, narrow track like the Sachsenring, and one that's old-style, with long straightaways and big, fast corners like Mugello, but we must manage to find the positive aspects of the setup that we identified in Germany. In this way, we can make it possible for Vale and Nicky to do their best, and also to enjoy themselves in a race that means a lot to both of them."

Medea First Episode & First Choral Ode Summary
- Medea finally gets on stage.
- She tells the Chorus that she doesn't want them to think she's snobby for hiding out in the house all day.
- My life has lost all meaning now that Jason has deserted me, says Medea.
- She goes on to observe that women are treated like the lowest form of life on Earth, and lists some reasons why.
- For starters, women's families have to pay huge dowries just to get a man to marry them.
- The women, who rarely have a say in the matter, have to hope against hope that their husband is a nice guy.
- If the husband is a jerk, women are kind of trapped because divorce always makes them look bad instead of the men.
- When men get bored with the marriage, they just go traveling or hang out with their buddies. Women, however, have to stay at home, and are mostly only allowed to talk to their husbands.
- Medea thinks childbirth also stinks. She says she'd rather go into battle any day than give birth.
- Medea tells the Chorus of women, that she has it worse than all of them, because she no longer has a home. She's a foreigner in a strange land and has no one to whom she can turn.
- She begs the Chorus to not stand in the way of her revenge.
- Medea observes that most women are scared of war, but when they're "wronged in love, there is no heart more murderous" (1.76).
- The Leader of the Chorus tells Medea that they won't stand in her way.
- Creon enters.
- The King orders Medea to take her sons and get out of Corinth.
- Medea asks him why she has to go.
- Creon says he's afraid that she'll kill his daughter. Medea has a reputation as a sorceress and Creon thinks she's plotting to use those skills for revenge.
- Medea complains that she's always getting discriminated against because she has a little knowledge.
- She tells Creon that the rumors of her powers are overblown.
- Medea tries to ease the King, by telling him that she's not mad at him or his daughter. She's just angry at Jason.
- Creon doesn't buy it, and tells her again to hit the road.
- Medea pleads with him on her knees.
- The King threatens to have her thrown out forcefully.
- She begs him to let her stay just for the day. There are travel arrangements to be made, and she has to prepare her sons.
- Creon takes a little pity on the sons, and tells Medea that she has until tomorrow to get out of town. If she's still around tomorrow, though, she will be executed.
- Creon exits.
- The concerned Chorus asks Medea what she plans to do now, since she has nowhere to go.
- Medea tells them not to worry, she's got a little something in mind for Jason and his young princess.
- She chastises the Chorus, saying she never would have kissed up to Creon if there wasn't something to gain from it.
- Medea declares that she's going to kill Creon, his daughter, and Jason.
- She ponders how to kill them.
- Should she set their house on fire?
- Perhaps stab the?
- Bad idea, says Medea. She'll get caught if she does those things.
- She decides poison is the way to go.
- Medea realizes that she'd better chill out for a second. If she kills them, no other city will take her in.
- She decides she'd better postpone her revenge until she has some guaranteed shelter.
- Medea swears to use her sorcery to bring them down no matter what.
First Choral Ode
- The Chorus sings a song about the trials of women over the years.
- They observe that women are treated so badly, it's like the universe is askew.
- The women hope that one day their gender will rise to a place of respect that they observe.
- The Chorus empathizes with Medea, who has been jilted out of her home.

Residents decry librarian cutbacksJanuary 14,2013
Residents protest
librarian cutbacks
ST. JOHNSBURY Library supporters here are rallying around the town athenaeum staff, who were dismissed as part of a restructuring.
About 200 people surrounded the athenaeum Saturday, calling on library trustees to rethink their decision last month to reduce the staff from 14 full- and part-time employees to five-full time employees.
The librarians were dismissed and told they could re-apply.
Kat Redniss, a librarian in Essex Junction, is part of a group called Rural Librarians Unite. She said the public shouldve been allowed weigh in.
The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum is a private, not-for-profit public library and art gallery. Bill Marshall, chairman of the St. Johnsbury Board of Trustees, said staff cuts were necessary to ensure vital and essential library services.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Dunne laid out a three-pronged approach to...

On Friday, Mississippi State travels to its home away from home in Tupelo for a matchup with Southeastern Louisiana.
Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the newly-renovated BancorpSouth Arena. The Bulldogs are 3-0 all-time in games played at the venue in Tupelo. Friday's clash marks ten years to the day since MSU's last visit to BancorpSouth Arena, a 77-59 win against New Orleans in 2003.
Gates to the arena open at 5:30 p.m. and the Egg Bowl trophy will be available for pictures.
"We are excited about bringing Mississippi State basketball to Tupelo," said head coach Rick Ray. "Tupelo has always been a supportive and very strong fan base for Mississippi State athletics, and we are glad that we are able to return the favor by playing a game for those fans in Tupelo."
Ray's squad enters the game with a 5-2 record after falling just short in a comeback attempt against TCU. The Bulldogs trailed by as many as 18 in the second half before trimming the lead down to three points with a little more than two minutes remaining. The Horned Frogs made clutch free throws down the stretch, however, and claimed a 71-61 victory.
Craig Sword netted 24 points for the second-consecutive game for MSU. The sophomore from Montgomery, Ala. leads the team with a 14.7 scoring clip. Gavin Ware (11.3 points) and Roquez Johnson (11.0) also average double-figure points.
Freshman point guard I.J. Ready returned from injury against TCU and drained three shots from beyond the arc.
Southeastern (3-5) dropped a 74-73 decision to Southeast Missouri State on Saturday. The Lions have already faced three foes from the SEC this season, losing matchups against Missouri, LSU, and Arkansas. JaMichael Hawkins leads Coach Jim Yarbrough's squad with 11.4 points an outing.
Mississippi State currently holds a 17-1 all-time series lead against Southeastern. MSU won an 82-67 contest at Humphrey Coliseum in 2009 in the last meeting between the schools.
Following Friday's tilt, the Bulldogs return to The Hump to face Florida A&M on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

I am trying to troubleshoot as to why I am getting the following error when I try log-in to the VPN using Shrew Soft VPN. What doesn't make sense is that it works on the same machine except that in a different ISP. Here's the error.
pre-shared key configured
bringing up tunnel ...
**negotiation timout occurred**
tunnel disabled
detached from key daemon
I suspected that it might be the NAT configuration and internal firewall configuration that prevents me from connecting. So, I got a router without any firewall. It didn't work. Now I tried directly connecting to the WAN interface without any in-between network resource going to the internet, it still the same. How do I troubleshoot this further? Anyone who has an experience on it?

With Minecraft soon releasing for PS4, Xbox One, and PS Vita, many gamers, particularly Nintendo fans, are wondering if Minecraft will eventually find its way to Wii U. According to a report by Wii U Daily from Aug. 31, 4J Studios recently spoke about the possibility of a Minecraft: Wii U Edition and the title seeing release on other platforms. Though 4J Studios' Dan Kaplan doesn't dismiss the possibility of Minecraft coming to Wii U or any other platform, he does share that install base size plays a role in deciding where Minecraft will be released.
It was once rumored that the Wii U would be receiving Minecraft and that the title would be announced around the time of E3 2014. That rumor was quickly dismissed by Minecraft creator Notch who stated that Minecraft would not be coming to Wii U. While speaking with Total Xbox, Dan Kaplan of 4J Studios commented on the possibility of the title finding its way to Wii U and other platforms. Kaplan disclosed that the studio will release Minecraft on a platform that has a user base for it. However, the user base must be of adequate size. If the base is too small, it may not be worth the developmental effort. Find Kaplan's full explanation below:
"With the release of PS4 and Xbox One I think we have fulfilled most of the needs for now. There aren't many platforms left to release on. We'll see, whatever makes sense and if the platform has the user base for it. We won't release on the platform if the base is very small because it's much too big of an effort."
Though the Wii U isn't directly named, Nintendo's latest home console is the only major home console without a version of Minecraft on it. If sales continue to grow in North America thanks to major releases like Mario Kart 8 and the upcoming release of Super Smash Bros. 4, perhaps one day a Minecraft: Wii U Edition will come to light.
4J Studios will release Minecraft for PS4 and PS Vita in the coming days and weeks. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Friday, Sept. 5. Find additional details here.

During the years following 1870, America was beginning to enjoy a bustling industrial economy. As with some of the phenomena of today's world, a few remarkable individuals became very wealthy during this short-lived era.
Now referred to as "The Gilded Age," this name was first coined through the title of a book which was co-authored by Mark Twain and Charles Warner. The title was meant as a satire that played upon the phrase, "Golden Age." Because the gilding process involves the application of superficial layers of gold, Twain and Warner's effort was in fact referring to ostentatious behavior and materialism.
The city of Newport -- in the state of Rhode Island -- was somehow selected by history as the epicenter of a very pretentious display of wealth. Among many other things, Newport has always been known as an East Coast summer resort area. This was especially true in the 1890s when some of this country's wealthiest families began to summer there. The social scene of the time is set forth in another book, Edith Wharton's novel "The Age of Innocence," which earned her a Pulitzer Prize, (the first ever awarded to a woman). Edith maintained a cottage in Newport called "Land's End" and was herself a part of the world that she had so eloquently wrote about.
The expansive summer properties in Newport were called cottages by their gilded age owners because they were only enjoyed during a brief ten-week period each year. But in reality, these were no cottages!
For instance, "The Breakers," built by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, tallied in at an astounding 65,000 square-feet. The cost of this 72-room cottage, at the time, was more than $12 million (valued at $350 million today). This elaborate get-away was designed by the famous New York architect Richard Morris Hunt (1827-1895) who also designed the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty.
Mr. Hunt designed several of the Newport cottages like "Belcourt Castle," which was a more modest 50,000 feet. Resembling a French hunting lodge, it was built by U.S. congressman and socialite Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont. With a sizable inheritance in hand, Belmont set out to build this French, German, English and Italian Renaissance beauty. During a time without automobiles, this property was mostly famous for the opulent stable and carriage areas which were actually part of the main structure. The 60-room interior of this house was equally as impressive in that its main theme was related to thoroughbred horses and racing. Oliver's father was August Belmont for which the Belmont Stakes, part of the Triple Crown, was named.
One of the most fascinating of the Newport properties and my personal favorite is, "Hammersmith Farm." This Victorian mansion complete with its own beach was built by John W. Auchincloss in 1889. Many years later it became the childhood home of Jacqueline Bouvier. The property was also host to her wedding reception in September of 1953 after she was married to John F. Kennedy when he was still a senator. During the Kennedy presidency, Hammersmith Farm was referred to as the summer White House.
At the end of the gilded age many of the sprawling mansions fell into complete disrepair and were abandoned by the owners. At one point a few of them were for sale for a mere forty thousand dollars. Currently, many of the gilded age mansions continue in private use. Some have been converted for academic use. Others, such as The Breakers, have been purchased and beautifully restored by the Preservation Society of Newport County, www.newportmansions.org). These mansions are open for tours to the public and are a "must see" for anyone visiting the East Coast.

The district also includes Port Ludlow, Shine, Coyle, Gardiner and the western part of the county that extends to the Pacific Ocean.
Monday was the first day for candidate filing by mail with online and in-person filings starting May 12.
All filings must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. May 16.
If there are more than two candidates, they will compete in the Aug. 5 primary with the top two candidates advancing to the Nov. 4 election.

There is no minimum age requirement to be an explorer. Earth and space science explorers come in all ages. What they have in common is that they all use NASA science and technology to study the home planet or the universe. This poster highlights some of the explorers in the NASA Earth Explorers and NASA Space Science Explorers series of articles on the NASA.gov education pages. Some of the explorers highlighted on this poster are still in school, and some are adults who have chosen science as a career.

Research: Traditional Breast-Feeding Better
A new study has determined that a traditional breast-feeding schedule is better than a "baby-led" routine. Joene Hendry of Reuters reports:
The traditional breast-feeding approach involves breast-feeding using both breasts at each feeding for no more than 10 minutes per breast.Maybe so, because according to the report baby-led breast-feeding is not backed up by evidence-based lactation physiology. Nevertheless, remember Dr. Fuhrman's breast-feeding advice. From Disease-Proof Your Child:
They found that infants were more likely to be exclusively breast-fed for up to 12 weeks when their mothers followed traditional rather than baby-led breast-feeding practices.
Furthermore, feeding more than 10 minutes from the first breast was associated with poor weight gain during the first 6 to 8 weeks of exclusive breast-feeding, the researchers report in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Traditional methods take advantage of the physiological mechanisms of breast-feeding, Walshaw said. The regular, short-term use of both breasts at each feeding conditions the let-down reflex. Moreover, draining milk from both breasts at each feeding inhibits the slowing of milk production in an unused breast, and takes advantage of the higher fat and protein content of early-released milk from each breast.
By contrast, baby-led breast-feeding can decondition the let-down reflex through prolonged suckling at each feed, and can gradually enhance lesser milk production by using only one breast at each feeding.
The antibodies derived from mother's milk are necessary for maximizing immune system function, maximizing intelligence, and protecting against immune system disorders, allergies, and even cancer. The child's immune system is still underdeveloped until age of two, the same age when the digestive tract seals the leaks (spaces between cells) designed to allow the mother's antibodies access to the bloodstream. So picking the age of two as the length of recommended breast-feeding is not just a haphazard guess, it matches the age at which the child is no longer absorbing the mother's immunoglobulins to supplement their own immune system. Nature designed it that way.Okay moms, what do you think? For me, the breast-feedings schedule approach makes the most sense, not sure why, just my gut feeling—opinions?

On July 16 it was announced Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard will direct a documentary on the Beatles touring years. During the mid-1980s the famed film director spent an extensive amount of time in Tampa Bay filming "Cocoon." Now you can take a boat tour at John's Pass to see the home with the indoor swimming pool.
Howard's untitled music documentary will cover the early years of the Beatles live shows at Liverpool's The Cavern Club, Hamburg clubs, and British gigs to the mid '60s global tours. This will be the first official documentary put out in association with The Beatles Apple Corps since 1970s "Let It Be."
It has the full cooperation from the former Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, plus Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison as the representatives and wives from the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison.
Others who'll be involved with the Beatles doc-project include Nigel Sinclair who produced the Emmy-winning HBO doc "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," in addition to "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan", as well as producers Brian Grazer ("Apollo 13") and Scott Pascucci ("George Harrison: Living in…").
This is not the first time Ron Howard has been involved in a musical documentary. His first venture was with Jay Z titled "Jay Z's Made in America." In his first documentary he had no idea who the hip hop, rap, and edm artists were (Kanye West, Run DMC, and Skillrex).
Ron was 9 years old when the Beatles first appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show." He instantly became a fan of their music and wanted a Beatles wig for his birthday. During that time he was co-starring with Andy Griffith in the popular TV sitcom "The Andy Griffith Show."
When he later starred in another popular sitcom "Happy Days," John Lennon brought his son Julian onto the set, since Julian was a fan of the Fonz. Ringo Starr and The Who's drummer Keith Moon wandered on the "Happy Days" set a year after the Lennon's visit.
In late 2012 announcements online, via The Beatles Live Project, encouraged fans who attended shows from The Cavern to Shea Stadium and Budokan to Candlestick Park could send in films, audio recordings, and still photos. This documentary will showcase many of these fans well-kept Beatles memorabilia. The Beatles documentary is slated for a late 2015 release, possibly in time for the holidays.

With low maintenance costs and 500 miles-per-gallon-equivalent, T3Motion personal mobility electric vehicles present a compelling business case for fleet managers and consumers. The company provides mission critical solutions for government and military entities, law enforcement, campus security, commercial/retail security, parking lot security, as well as individuals.
Made in the U.S.A., T3Motion Inc. invented the 3-wheel electric standup vehicle; it has extensive intellectual property, including 12 issued patents and others that are pending. To-date, over 5000 vehicles were deployed in more than 30 countries, where 65% of customers are domestic and 35% are outside North America. T3Motion offers several products from scooters to 3-wheel standup (a competing vehicle to the Segway 2-wheelers), and neighborhood-style cars.
I met William Tsumpes, CEO of T3Motion Inc., a Costa Mesa, CA company, at Red Herring North America conference this month, which was held in Monterey, CA. T3Motion, a disruptive player in the electric transportation industry, won the coveted Red Herring North America Top 100 List. For more information about Red Herring see below.
Founded in 2006, T3Motion manufactures personal mobility vehicles that are engineered with advanced safety and mobility features. Keeping the target customer close to mind, the company offers several types of all-electric plug-in vehicles (EVs) that produce zero gas emissions. The California-based company was formed by a diverse group of experts from various backgrounds. The team was set on creating alternative vehicles in order to enhance the personal mobility markets around the world. When researching market needs, the team collected information and analyzed the functional needs and performance requirements by prospective customers. This process resulted in providing mobility solutions for fleets (B2B model) and direct to consumers (B2C model).
T3's first product group, called the T3 Series, was launched in 2006 and have had extensive field trials since then. Mr. Tsumpes said that his company raised &47 million and is currently in the process of raising $20 million more. The T3 Series automobiles are designed to improve efficiency, reduce fatigue of drivers/operators, and increase the ability to interface with the community. Primary advantages include flexible mobility with net-zero emissions, operational costs of $ 0.10 a day and the ability to have 24 X 7 duty cycle.
Can T3Motion vehicles compete with the major automobile manufacturers?
Many traditional large automakers have moved into the plug-in and/or hybrid EV markets and EV offerings have been growing every year and today there are scores of models and options. T3 has directly targeted the professional public safety, private security and government markets, such as law enforcement entities, security patrols, airport or university campus security vehicles, and a number of U.S. government agencies, as well as the Department of Defense (DOD).
Tsumpes said that these scooter-like vehicles are effective in a variety of day-to-day professional applications with net-zero emissions, presenting significant reduction in the cost of 'fueling', maintenance, and more. Further, the vehicles can travel indoors and outdoors. T3Motion offers removable battery packs which give them operation capabilities of 24 hours a day; 7 days a week.
Where are the T3 automobiles deployed?
Tsumpes gave several examples: In community policing (several municipalities around the world, New York City subways), patrolling of airports (John-Wayne), military bases, university campuses, retail malls, and public event venues.
The company established a strong feedback loop from the get-go, which incorporates customer feedback for the design, features, and performance characteristics of the vehicles. This active dialogue has led to a clear understanding of the professional and fiscal needs of the law enforcement and private security markets.
What's in the future for T3Motion?
As the marketplace continues to evolve, so will T3 Motion, Inc., through its commitment to research, development, and manufacture of products that continue to revolutionize the way we think about clean-energy vehicles.
The company plans to expand into new consumer vehicle models, sports-like cars, and the design new fleets for USPS, and more.

SEATTLE - Washington women's crew coach Bob Ernst today announced the hiring of Conor Bullis, a move that fills the vacant assistant coach position.
Bullis brings a decorated resume to Conibear Shellhouse, including two previous tours of duty with the Huskies rowing program. The Seattle native and Oregon State graduate will recruit and coach the Huskies' novice oarswomen, acclimating them for the rigors of the varsity program.
"I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of the University of Washington and the women's rowing team," Bullis said. "I look forward to the season starting in September."
Ernst conducted a nationwide search for a candidate but ultimately chose Bullis for his energy and commitment to excellence, along with his attention to detail.
"He's proven over his career as a coach and as an administrator that he's a forward-thinker and a great organizer," Ernst said.
Bullis takes over a novice program that has long been successful at Washington. During the past three seasons, the Husky novice rowers have won a pair of Pac-10 titles, in addition to cup wins at the San Diego Crew Classic and the Cal Dual.
"He's proven over his career as a coach and as an administrator that he's a forward-thinker and a great organizer." - Bob Ernst
What also fascinated Ernst was the wealth of experience Bullis boasts in three important rowing classifications - high school, collegiate and club. His track record of developing rowers resonated with the 38-year head coach.
Most recently, Bullis was the head coach at Lakeside, a private K-12 school located in Seattle. He was also an instrumental coaching figure in the club rowing community in the Puget Sound region. This summer, Bullis coached an eight with Seattle Area Rowing that qualified for the prestigious CanAmMex regatta, which begins Aug. 8 in Welland, Ontario. This fits in well with the Washington rowing ethos, which strives to help student-athletes row internationally.
Bullis' coaching history includes a wealth of experience in the collegiate ranks as well. The Garfield High School product first began coaching as an intern at his alma mater Oregon State, where he was the team captain. He then served two separate internships with the Husky men's program, working with freshmen coach Luke McGee and head coach Michael Callahan, who quickly voiced his approval of the hire. In 2009, Bullis was part of the Husky coaching staff that steered the program to a National Championship. The past two summers, Bullis has also coached rowers at the USRowing pair development camp, which is held at Washington.
"Conor will be a strong asset to our coaching staff and to our students," Callahan said over email. "He has an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong desire to achieve at the highest level. His personality and work ethic is contagious."
Bullis takes over for Nicole Minett, who resigned during the 2011 season in order to concentrate on her growing family.

MEDINA — Councilman Bill Lamb, at-large, will be holding a forum today at 7 p.m. on developing a strategy to improve the city's older neighborhoods.
"My perception is that what we need for the inner city is a muscular strategy to deal with decline in property value," he said.
He hopes that meetings throughout the fall with community members will result in a strategy by the beginning of next year.
He points to the Strategic Downtown Redevelopment Plan as a basis for his ideas on the dozens of uptown neighborhoods that are struggling.
"People think that the downtown is a beautifully restored area but at the beginning it wasn't about a perfect restoration," he said. "It did turn into something much more wonderful than that."
"My goal is similar, but to do it in the neighborhoods where property values have declined."
Lamb wants the community to come up with a plan that will bring more homebuyers into the neighborhoods, which are dominated by rental communities.
"There is no investment in the upkeep and you have deterioration in the neighborhoods," he said about nonlocal property owners who lease out houses. "People want to live there, but they want to have nice infrastructure."
Lamb said stricter point of sale inspections and better street and sidewalk maintenance are some things that would likely go into the plan.
Lamb encourages the public to join in the discussion at the Second Baptist Church, 451 Bronson St.
"I am open to anyone's ideas that would be effective in improving their neighborhoods," he said. "People deserve a good neighborhood."
Contact reporter Andrew Davis at (330) 721-4050 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

OH, I'm sorry that being back in the barnyard didn't work out. I hope that Gimli likes his sheep and has a happy time living up in the back yard.

We goats do like to be in a herd. It will probably take Gimli a bit to get used to his new herd but he will.
Isobelle! It is not nice to get buttie! (But I do it too, shhhhh)

Your farm keeps growing. Hope everyone gets along well and Gimli keeps healing.

I put my hoof down at a Scotch Highland cow. My lady would love some of these. I told her no. She'll listen to me. Tee hee. She said she'd better listen to her pocket book and she already has enough friends to care for. Maybe I can grow my coat like a Highland Cow? I could be famous!

Oh how I wish butting wasn't such a part of how goats are! I just hate it. Especially when food is involved! grrr... I can't wait to see the sheep. Gimli will have friends and your lady some wool?

Just be careful, sheep can butt as badly as goats and cause just as serious injuries.

Isobelle, sheep are very nice animals and much smarter than people think they are. Finn sheep are particularly clever and a rare and ancient breed. These two are very lucky to find a home with you and your kind-hearted lady.

She should get a llama to be a guard llama for Gimli. Then they could stay down at the barn with you because you wouldn't dare pick on Gimli if he had his own guard llama.

I like Millie's idea! But sheep are wonderful companions and I am sure they will eventually all get along, even if Gimli isn't quite their species! I am so excited for your lady that she will have sheep!!

Isobelle, you must take responsibility for this. If you had been daintier with Gimli, there would be no annoying new LAMBS!!! But don't worry, you will remain #1 in our hearts.
