|Honda's Hydrogen-Powered Fuel Cell Vehicle Participates in 'Rally Thru the Valley'
|TORRANCE, Calif, U.S.A., May 14, 2003 –
Honda FCX
California Fuel Cell Partnership Rally Thru The Valley
5/14/03 to 5/16/03
Daily Web Log
Day 3 - 5/16/03 - Bakersfield to Los Angeles
Crossing mountain passes has been an arduous task throughout history, presenting challenges of terrain, climatic change, and the unknown appearing over each new hilltop. Many a horse has died and a mule train stalled climbing the next ridge.
The Honda FCX team and its California Fuel Cell Partnership allies today pitted the latest automotive technologies against one of Southern California's most notorious highway passes - "The Grapevine."
This steep grade along Interstate 5 is a long-distance trucker's nightmare, a wide ribbon of asphalt that leads up the Tejon Pass out of the San Joaquin Valley over the mountains that rim the southern flank of the valley into the sprawling Los Angeles basin. High winds, dust storms and sudden weather changes are regular occurrences. Breakdowns are common.
Transit through this pass is as unpredictable as the weather. Today was no different. Still, the Honda FCX breezed up the grade at freeway speeds (and even beyond when the California Highway Patrol escort allowed) without so much as a hiccup.
The immediate reward was a refreshing stop next to Lake Castaic, where the partnership's participating fuel cell vehicles topped off their hydrogen fuel, a quick and easy process.
Then it was on to the first of two stops in the Los Angeles area. Waiting for the fuel cell parade at the Los Angeles Zoo parking lot was LA Deputy Mayor Brian Williams, who drove to the event in one of the city's leased Honda FCXs.
Today was an unofficial day of mourning in the city due to the abrupt termination last night of the Lakers' three-year reign as NBA champions. Williams made reference to the somber observance while happily welcoming the Fuel Cell Partnership crews to his city.
KABC-TV reporter and auto enthusiast Dave Kunz was one of the first to take the FCX on the driving course set up at the Griffith Park parade, which also featured a children's play and a public ride-and-drive.
Today was a typically smoggy day in LA, featuring the kind of haze that makes this city famous around the world. This air quality backdrop underscored the need for reduced auto emissions in an area where the nearby hills are often only faintly visible.
The three-day rally ended at an appropriate spot - the Petersen Automotive Museum, a place known for celebrating the history of the automobile and the culture that has grown up around it. Today, something new was celebrated: the fuel cell vehicle.
Five fuel cell vehicles were on display while the Partnership teams celebrated the successful demonstration of this promising technology. Each had completed the 400-mile trek down the San Joaquin Valley, over the Grapevine and into LA. Each has the next challenge to look forward to.
Honda's FCX completed the trip without missing a beat. Team manager Shiro Matsuo congratulated his fellow team members who participated and all those behind the scenes who helped the FCX illustrate the "state of the art" from Sacramento to Los Angeles.

Day 2 - 5/15/03 - Fresno to Bakersfield
The Honda FCX team went from California's "breadbasket" of Tulare County - with its 350 different crops - to the heart of the state's traditional energy industry in Bakersfield.
At the latter stop, energy history got an update. An old wooden oil pump provided the backdrop for a display of fuel cell vehicles at the day's main stop for the second day of the California Fuel Cell Partnership's "Rally Thru the Valley."
Kern County Supervisor Barbara Patrick, who also is a member of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), slid into the driver's seat of the FCX in Bakersfield. Part of her duties at CARB include helping decide the future of zero emission vehicles like the FCX, and this was the first opportunity she had to actually drive a fuel cell vehicle.
Lighter highlights of the day included a break for an informal juggling competition at a refueling stop in Tulare's International Agri-Center. Jugglers used the Partnership's squeeze globes as throw props. Later, with a California Highway Patrol escort leading the way, the FCX was able to legally exceed the speed limit on southbound Highway 99.
When the FCX team reached Bakersfield, it was warmly greeted by Mayor Harvey Hall and Barbara Patrick, along with dozens of school kids and adult fuel cell enthusiasts.
At the quaint Kern County Museum in Bakersfield, where the entire fuel cell entourage arrived at about noon, children exhausted their vocabulary of superlatives in exchange for rides in the FCX.
In early evening, the Honda FCX and other fuel cell vehicles were the center of attention for thousands at the bustling Street Faire in downtown Bakersfield.
Media continue to be drawn to the FCX. Steve Fujimoto, photographer with the Visalia Times-Delta, aimed his lens at the Honda as it left Tulare. Honda team member Shiro Matsuo answered questions from reporter Matt Weiser of the Bakersfield Californian prior to his driving the FCX.
Incidentally, two PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) Accords from the local fleet of Chevron Texaco were on display.
The Accords are a showcase of Honda's ongoing commitment to reducing current vehicle emissions while at the same time demonstrating future alternative fuel technologies like the FCX.

Daily Web Log
Day 1 - 5/14/03 - Sacramento to Fresno
The Honda fuel cell team rolled down the highway today in the center of what many people call "America's Salad Bowl" because of the agricultural significance of the region. For the next few days - from Sacramento to Fresno to Bakersfield and, finally, Los Angeles - the multinational Honda team is taking the story of the Honda FCX through four of the 10 smoggiest urban areas in the United States - Fresno, Bakersfield, Visalia and Los Angeles. Honda Team members lead five other fuel cell vehicles south along some 200 miles of Highway 99 on the first day of the three-day run.
In the days of the Old West, as depicted in "The Big Valley," this trek would have been long, hot and dusty, with occasional road hazards such as a slipped horseshoe, a trail washout, or a holdup at gunpoint.
Along the way on Day 1, top national journalists, state political leaders, government officials - legislators, mayors, city council members - and the public got a chance to experience the Honda vehicle's state-of-the-art zero emission driving.
Carl Hall of the San Francisco Chronicle got the first chance to ride in the FCX, making the 20-minute trip from the California Fuel Cell Partnership's West Sacramento headquarters to the State Capitol.
Mark Vaughn, from the national weekly auto enthusiast magazine AutoWeek, jumped in and took a ride from the capitol down the highway to Stockton, then, later, drove the leg from Merced to Fresno City Hall.
Matt Nauman, auto editor of San Jose Mercury News, drove Honda's FCX for his first time from Stockton to Merced, with Dr. Alan Lloyd, chairman of the California Fuel Cell Partnership and the Air Resources Board, as his co-pilot in the front passenger seat.
Everyone who piloted the FCX noted its technology advancements: a quiet ride, long range (up to 220 miles), and the unique Honda Ultra Capacitor, which stores electric energy and releases it much more efficiently than a normal battery for quick bursts of acceleration when needed.
The day was filled with not only journalists driving the FCX. It also featured proclamations, speeches, fanfare, and plenty of time for the public to get up close and personal with vehicles that have never been seen in much of the Central Valley.
Members of the public eagerly lined up at scenic Roeding Park in Fresno for the opportunity to ride in the FCX and other fuel cell vehicles _ and to eat hot dogs, 325 of them, in fact.
Even at stops where the public was not allowed to ride along, elementary school children, senior citizens and others pored over the vehicles and devoured all of the information the FCX team could offer.
All in all, Day 1 of the Rally thru the Valley was, literally, an opportunity for residents of the Big Valley to experience the future of the automobile, much the same way their predecessors a century ago experienced the valley's long and dusty trails on their new horseless carriages.

AUSTIN, Texas (October 7, 2012)—U.S. Senate candidate and tea party favorite Ted Cruz is thought to have a commanding lead against ex-Democratic state representative Paul Sadler and has largely ignored his opponent.
Instead, he's concentrated on fundraising and mending fences with a Texas GOP establishment he attacked during the fiercely contested Republican senatorial primary.
Sadler said Cruz's views are too extreme for Texas, but Cruz has refused to respond, trying to deny Sadler a chance to raise his profile statewide.
During the Republican primary, Cruz criticized opponent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for using the same strategy.

- Stars, community members gather for screening of Oscar Grant movie "Fruitvale Station"
"Fruitvale Station," the critically-acclaimed film about the 2009 killing of Oscar Grant III, will be shown at a private screening Thursday night at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland.
The special screening -- presented by the San Francisco Film Society and the Oscar Grant Foundation and underwritten by the film's studio, the Weinstein Company -- is only open to invited guests. The film, directed by Oakland native Ryan Coogler, is slated to open in select theaters nationwide July 12.
The Hollywood stars will be in town for Thursday's screening, including Michael B. Jordan who plays Grant, Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer, Melonie Diaz, Ahna O'Reilly, director Ryan Coogler, producers Forest Whitaker and Nina Yang Bongiovi.
In near neo-realistic fashion, the movie, filmed on the streets of the East Bay, traces Grant's last hours before the unarmed 22-year-old Hayward man was shot on the BART platform at the Fruitvale station by then-BART police officer Johannes Mehserle in the early hours of New Year's Day 2009. Mehserle was charged with murder, but a Los Angeles jury found him guilty of involuntary manslaughter and he served roughly 11 months in jail. The killing and ensuing legal findings sparked several riots in downtown Oakland during the following months.
In January, "Fruitvale Station" took home the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. And the film is considered a likely contender for this year's Academy Award nominations.
Brad Pitt's "Moneyball", also filmed in Oakland, got similar treatment with a star-studded premiere at the Paramount Theatre before its general release in 2011.

New York's public transport system is relatively good and cheap, including buses and the subway. There are also the ever-present, although more expensive, yellow cabs. Unlicensed gypsy cabs should be avoided. It is possible to get around the city using a combination of these, or simply on foot. Walking is often the best way to experience the city, and during rush hours, when buses and taxis are caught up in the gridlock and the subway is overcrowded or delayed, it can also be the fastest way to get around. Generally though, the most efficient way to get around is the 24-hour underground system, especially as most of Manhattan's sights are near subway stations, although it can be confusing at first. Much simpler but slower, is the bus system, which is a good option for shorter distances or for travelling across town. The subway and bus fare are standard ($2.75); note that buses require the exact change in coins, not dollar bills. Driving in New York is not recommended as traffic is heavy, drivers aggressive and parking exorbitant.

BRECKENRIDGE - Michael Schiffer isn't much for talking. So when he wants to show his appreciation for the mountain employees who make the sport he loves possible, instead of saying thank you, he tosses a piece of chocolate in their direction. "Words are cheap," Schiffer said. "Actions speak louder." That little act of kindness has won him a reputation among staffers at Breckenridge Ski Resort and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, where he logs upward of 100 days and a million vertical feet each season. Carrying on a tradition that began a decade ago, when he was a lift operator himself in Santa Fe, N.M., Schiffer says he now spends roughly $180 a month lining his pockets with miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey's gold and silver Nuggets. Most years, the candy bills add up to more than the cost of his ski pass. Self-employed, Schiffer tries to spend at least part of every day in the winter out on the mountain, always first stuffing the pockets of his jacket with enough candy to hand out to all the employees he comes across. "I kind of buy my coats based on pocket size now," he said. Reactions from recipients of the candy have ranged from skeptical to surprised - part of that might be a result of the technique he's perfected over the years of tossing chocolate pieces at people's heads when they least expect it - but most are just grateful and recognize the gesture for what it is: an effort to brighten their day. "I just do it because I figure it's good juju, good karma," Schiffer said. "I wanted to give back."
Schiffer was born and raised in Colorado. He spent his winters making turns with his parents and older brother and sister at Arapahoe Basin in the 1960s, and later at Breckenridge Ski Resort. Schiffer's passion for skiing is of the life-defining sort, and has never allowed him to stray far from the slopes. "I've been skiing my whole life," the 51-year-old said. "I love the game." For each place he's lived, he notes the correlating mountain where he skied: A-Basin growing up, Tahoe during his years in California in the 1980s and '90s and the 12,000-foot peak above Santa Fe in New Mexico, where his daughter was born. It was there that he took a job as a lift operator, seeing, like many, the appeal of making a living while doing what he loved. His candy-casting habit began there as well, with Hershey Kisses. But he realized quickly he didn't like working for a large company and lasted only a single season with the resort. Soon after, he returned home to Colorado and started his own business, Michael Schiffer Windows & Ice Inc., removing ice and snow from roofs in the winter and washing windows in the summer. For him it's the perfect job: he makes enough money to provide for his daughter, and cover the cost of candy and a ski pass, never has to miss a powder day and, when the mood strikes, can "look in the mirror and tell his boss he's a jerk." "That's my advice to anybody," he said. "If you want to be a ski bum, you've got to find a really good boss." Though a self-described loner, his regularity on the mountain and chocolate distribution have made Schiffer a familiar face to many resort employees. It allows him to sometimes snag one last run at the end of the day, when the ropes are about to go up. There are others who have had the same idea - Schiffer said he's heard of at least one individual who gives out chocolate bars sometimes in exchange for snowmobile rides to hike-to terrain - for him, it's not about kickbacks. "I don't use it for my advantage in that way," he said. "It just makes me feel good."

Quote: Let's be real here. Like all trolls, this is a story about privilege. It's great for him to talk about niggers, to post pictures of sexualized preteen girls, to "incite reaction" from the crybabies, because he is a rich white man. He's never had to deal with racism, sexism, being on the other end of hatred. If he had his face pounded into the cement by a gang of white thugs screaming "faggot" and "chink," if hadn't been able to leave the house without catcalls and the constant threat of sexual assault since he was 11, if his mother had been in a concentration camp, he wouldn't think this was all such a joke.
I'm not saying his life has been easy or good - people who have had good lives don't start /r/picsofdeadjailbait[1] - but he took all the power and privilege in the world and used to it hurt and attack and make the world a worse place. How about the teen girls who have killed themselves over jailbait pics? How about the legions of young men he's shepherded into MRM and white-supremacist communities?

Aside from the obvious self-righteousness of the article, I think the right thing was done. When you put yourself out there like this guy did, you're asking for trouble. Brutsch had something coming.
Captiv8 wrote: So you're saying this man should have been dealt with by his online community? The same ones that enjoyed sleazy, disgusting, and perverted stuff Brutsch was into? That's like saying rapists should only be dealt with by other rapists. The community is insular and self-protecting.
And I'm also not entirely in agreement with the Brutsch did nothing illegal angle. He walked a very fine line, that's true, but it certainly opens him up to probable cause investigations by the FBI, which are likely to be underway. And is he not liable to exploiting/endangering children?
And on the flipside, I could argue that Chen did nothing illegal by exposing Brutsch. It was all true, so libel and slander are out. Brutsch owned up to it all anyway. Was the article morally questionable? Sure, but it was a far cry from what Violentacrez was doing. So I'm willing to allow for some muckraking and public humiliation here.
Now, onto the bigger issue of ruining someone's life. There's a difference between being vindictive, an asshole, or just careless in ruining someone's life, and doing the same because the person was reprehensible in every way.
Chen didn't just pick someone at random, or call someone out for not cleaning up their dog's shit at the park. Brutsch was an arrogant and morally bankrupt pedophile (in that being a pedophile is a mentality, not necessarily followed by action).
By and large, when innocent people have their lives drug into the public light unjustly the have a means of recourse and a number of organizations or people that will defend them because they are in the right. Brutsch isn't the domino that leads to massive, unwarranted crucifixions the world over.
I can't wrap my head around why you're depending this guy.

Except that this guy wasn't a rapist. And I mean, there are parts of the internet dedicated to all kinds of things I find reprehensible--but if they're not illegal--then what am I doing wasting my time there? Like I don't get why this was a big deal for people. I had never heard of this guy before today, and had never even been on reddit before today--and yet somehow I was able to go on about my life. I don't understand why this was a thing which NEEDED redress. I mean, if you have a problem with it--isn't the problem actually with Reddit itself, and the company that owns them? They even say in the Chen article that the reason they liked dude was because he was responsible for basically driving traffic to their site and building the site up. I mean the internet is basically built on sleezy porn which bankrolls the legit stuff. I mean surely you can appreciate the irony of a site like Gawker exposing this guy for a forum called creepshots when their whole steez is celeb creep shots. It's incredible to me, how you'd want to jump freely into mob hoops without y'know...stopping for a second and thinking about why you're being asked to do this.

No matter how many words futurist writes about it.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528 8592 VOLUME 10MMBB?* RJU MOON OF WE GOOSE FUGHT MARCH IS, W Char-Koosta finally gets to cover a big conference... Flathead Reservation to host Affiliated Tribes The Tribal Council announces that the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNWI) will be holding their 1981 spring conference on the Flathead Reservation March 16, 17 and 18, at the Kicking Horse Job Corps Center. The conference theme is "Question: Assimiliation or Sovereignty? Time to Choose!" Topics on the tentative agenda include aging, CETA,education and toxic wastes. Interior Secretary James Watt has been invited to attend and speak, as well; no confirmation on this as yet. ATNWI represents over twenty tribes in the northwest U.S. and is considered the strongest political bloc in the National Congress of American Indians. Some thirty delegates are expected to attend. Registration for the three-day meeting will be held all day Monday. Everyone is welcome to attend (any tribal member can join the organization and enjoy voting privileges by paying the $5 dues) and' all CSKT department heads are urged to attend those meetings which concern their sphere of operations or seem especially interesting. Lunch will be available each day at a cost $2.50. A free community dinner will be served Tuesday evening at the St. Ignatius Community Center; a powwow follows. Council votes to employ themselves one day a week Among the many debates at the Feb. 26 regular council meeting was whether or not councilmen should work full-time. After one talk-fest in the morning and further discussion just before adjournment at 5:00, it was decided that each councilman can put in one day a week "preparatory" time at his own discretion. Guidelines will be worked out by the Administration Committee. The one-day-a-week motion was a compromise for St. Ignatius representative Noel Pichette's contention that having all ten councilmen on board every day would be a plus for the membership. Pablo district's Vic Stinger maintained that the Tribes couldn't afford all of them "stumbling around all the time", especially to the tune of an extra $8,200 a year per man. Poison's E.W. Morigeau felt he was too busy to work full-time, but he thought a day or two a week on salary would help himself and the others keep abreast of current issues, most notably water rights. Joe McDonald of Ronan supported the limited work week for follow-up purposes. He noted, too, that as part-time workers, the councilmen could enjoy a few fringe benefits, like sick and annual leave, and such "years in service" benefits could be carried over whenever a councilman should find himself a member of the regular tribal work force.

NEW ORLEANS — It's not uncommon to hear players sing the praises of the 49ers after playing them for the first time since coach Jim Harbaugh took the reins.
The Baltimore Ravens have the benefit of having played the 49ers in 2011, when teams around the league were getting their first taste of Harbaugh's tough, physical brand of football.
"The one carryover is that we found out what type of football team they are," Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. "They're a physical football team. They play hard, they fast.
"We came out of that game on Thanksgiving (in 2011) and you could tell what kind of football game that was, with the physicality and all that stuff."
Flacco said he expects nothing less than an all-out struggle Sunday, when the Ravens and 49ers square off once again, this time in the Super Bowl.
"We definitely know what to expect from that standpoint. We're not going to be surprised when they come out here and they're hitting hard and they're flying around.
"We know that they're a team that's going to play a full 60 minutes and play a hard football game. So, we have to be ready to do the same."
The Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 in 2011 in a game in which the two teams combined for 423 yards offense.
The 49ers held running back Ray Rice to 59 yards on 21 carries and the Ravens to 92 on 35 rushes.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Acting IRS Commish Steven Miller was recently heard to whine, in a letter to Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI) that unless Congress acts by year end with respect to "patching" (bureaucratese for actually doing something of value) the dreaded alternative minimum tax (AMT), IRS would have to operate the 2013 filing season based on "pre patch" numbers, resulting in filing delays (because the bureaucrats' computers can't be fixed soon enough) and, more importantly, subjecting something like 28 million unsuspecting taxpayers to the AMT!
The so-called "patch" has become Congress' way of temporarily "fixing" the numbers such that the AMT doesn't kick in until an income floor is reached. If Congress doesn't act this year, that floor will revert to its 1998 level! A return to the Clinton era!
Miller says that IRS' computers are expecting Congress to once again "patch" this mess, and that doing otherwise would involve "substantial design and engineering work," more bureaucratese for "we might have to work a little overtime so that the system doesn't completely fall apart."
Meanwhile, the National Taxpayer Advocate recently opined that the Revenooers should back off a little when it comes to going after folks with foreign assets and income. Advocate Nina Olson suggests that IRS change its "Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Initiative" (OVDI) so as to only penalize taxpayers based on their level of non-compliance, rather than hammering everybody with the same onerous penalty scheme.
The civil penalties for not reporting all of those foreign financial accounts can range up to the greater of $100,000 or 50 percent of the amount in the account at the time of violation. Pretty steep. And the criminal penalties for violating the account reporting requirements while also violating certain other laws can be as much as $500,000 in penalties or 10 years in the clink, or both!
Olson thinks a somewhat more fair approach would be for IRS to define four categories of violators, and penalize accordingly. To wit:
• Category I - Taxpayers who properly declared their income, but merely failed to separately report the existence of the foreign accounts would be allowed to fess up with no penalty.
• Category II - Taxpayers who failed to properly report their foreign income, but whose tax liability is under a certain threshold would be penalized, though comparatively modestly.
• Category III - Taxpayers with a valid reasonable cause for failure to file their foreign account reports might be excused from penalties.
• Category IV - Bad boys with fact patterns suggesting a willful disregard of the foreign account rules would continue to be subject to the onerous penalty structure presently in the law.
Bottom line: follow the rules and you won't get your butt kicked in any case!

How Low Will Health Care Enrollments Be? Here's What to Watch For
This week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is expected to announce the long-awaited enrollment numbers for the first month of the health insurance marketplaces. And from all reports, they're going to be low.
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the 36 states that rely onHealthcare.gov for their insurance marketplaces signed up fewer than 50,000 people in their first month of operation.
"Another way to look at the Healthcare.gov enrollments is that 50,000 enrollments over 36 states over 31 days is less than 50 enrollments per day per state,†health-care consultant Robert Laszewski wrote in an email to reporters.
The Washington Post reported this morning that the number is actually around 40,000.
That appears to be far lower than the administration's early estimate that 500,000 people would sign up for coverage in October, the first month the marketplaces were open.
Other recent stories offer variations on that theme. Oregon has not signed up any people in its exchange. Delaware has only four. And Washington, D.C., has five.There are surely more applications in the pipeline, but these early numbers are anemic.
So how big a failure is this?
To those convinced the law will fail, it's a disaster. The glitches that have plagued Healthcare.gov have not been solved, and the clock is ticking toward Dec. 15, the last day that consumers can sign up for insurance plans that begin on Jan. 1.
If the problems continue and only the most motivated – i.e., the sickest and oldest – sign up for coverage, insurers will be hit with big losses and will have to dramatically increase rates for 2015, the beginning of a death spiral, the critics reason.
To those convinced the law ultimately will succeed, the number means little. The problems with the website have masked demand. And the experience ofMassachusetts and Medicare's Part D prescription drug benefit demonstrate that the vast majority of people sign up closer to the deadline. In this case, the final deadline is March 31, the day the 2014 open enrollment season closes.
Four things to look out for when the numbers are announced:
Consider those being dropped by their insurers, not just those signing up.
The Congressional Budget Office has set the bar in terms of predictions —estimating that 7 million people will sign up for coverage on the exchanges in 2014 (6 million with subsidies; 1 million without). But the CBO also seems to estimate that the number of people in the "nongroup†market, which includes individual policies, will decrease by a net of 2 million next year. It's clear now that many more people than that are being dropped by their insurance companies, which are citing provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
The administration has changed its definition of enrollees.

The missing link to long-term Lean success! Despite the fact that companies worldwide have adopted Lean production, none has sustained the same levels of excellence as Toyota. Why? Leadership. In The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership, Jeffrey Liker and Gary L. Convis, a former executive V.P. and managing officer of Toyota, help executives and senior managers get employees to refocus their efforts - from simply performing their singular function to continuously improving in collaboration across the organization.
Case studies from Toyota clearly illustrate the methods that create powerful, effective Lean leadership. Jeffrey Liker, author of the popular Toyota Way books, is the acknowledged expert on Toyota processes. He is professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. After his executive leadership at Toyota, Gary L. Convis became the CEO of Dana Holding Corporation, a $6.1 billion supplier to the global automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets, and helped lead it to a successful turnaround from bankruptcy.

"ONLY leaders should read, bean counters shouldn't"
Good book on the origins of Lean Methodology and the Toyota system. Too bad most who practice Lean, Six Sigma, etc do not take in the whole education; as Americans we seem to short cut everything. Due to these short cuts, we have a lot of businesses that after recent economic circumstances are finding themselves at a point where they may not survive as a company. The recession was only the catalyst; shortsighted leadership was the true cause as most companies raced to the bottom in cutting costs to the point I fear a large number will not be able to recover. A tool is only as good as the craftsman that wields it. Needless to say Lean Leadership is all about leadership and has nothing to do with cutting costs. I would have recommended this book, but it is like handing a loaded handgun to a toddler."
"It Isn't What You Migh Think"
Everyone is familiar with Toyota as a brand. Some are aware of the Toyota manufacturing process. Being aware of the process is not being familiar and being familiar does not imply one is conversant with how it really works. Along comes Jeffrey Liker (The Toyota Way) and Gary Convis with The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership filling any gaps in our understanding. Importantly, Liker and Convis use a narrative approach to presenting their material. They use multiple examples and anecdotes to illustrate the concepts they are reporting. Their use of vignettes to describe how lead leadership works, certainly nourishes the reader's understanding. Readers interested in manufacturing, Japanese culture, leadership, adult education, and other related topics will find this volume most informative. There is no need to be an engineer, Liker and Convis make the topic readily available to the general reader. The narration of Jim Meskimen is very good.
"It's not as easy as it looks"
If you are fascinated by the success of Toyota Motor Corporation and their rise to near domination of the global automobile market, this is the book for you.
The book covers in almost painstaking detail the methods used by Toyota to grow leaders from within the company. It is that approach, the nurturing of self-improving people that is the backbone of Toyota's success. I purchased many of the accompanying hardcover books for more information. The concept is simple: grow leaders and problem solvers from within. It's the patience required and the discipline to execute and stick with the plan that is hard for other companies to duplicate.
This is my first time listening to the narrator. He is appropriate for a business book. He delivers the information very effectively. But this is no John Grisham novel!
Definitely not. I found myself rewinding and listening again and again to make sure I understood the concepts. I have listened to it twice and will listen a third time.
Great book for business. The Toyota Way is really hard to duplicate and that's what gives them their competitive advantage.
"how to turn around and become better"
Think simple, think in the customer and how they use your product.
the way Toyota saw a problem and how they use that to change or innovate their way of thinking
Jim brings the right tone of importance and motivation to the book.
transforming the present, developing a better future
"Not What I was Hoping For"
I would not recommend this book and it would be hard to say what to change. It seems to be very repetitive.
I have not listened to these guys before.
Not really, I think they ran short on new information after the first chapter and they just kept finding new ways to explain the same basic principles.
"Not Much Here"
First quarter of the book they explain what they are going to do and then never really ever get to it.
"Good listen"
This is Toyota's story from one insider. So it is a singular point of view. But a very detailed point of view.
"Don't Waste Time or Money"
If there is one business book to pass, unless you have never been in business world, this is it. In the first part, the author cannot outdo himself praising the company. Most of the book offers advice that is simple and basic, such as when learning something new go slow first. To add air of sophistication, the author uses Japanese terms without any real justification, and repeats them over and over. You will have to translate them every time in your mind to figure out what he is saying. Instead of using workshop, as in check reality at the manufacturing floor, he uses the word gamba or something like that. This usage detracts from the points being made and is annoying. This book would be most useful for new hires at the company, to give them a feel of the culture. For insights and ideas you can use elsewhere, look elsewhere for another source or book.
These authors could have done some evaluation and critical analysis, instead of repeating corporate corn.
It does offer insight into the company.
Too bad that there are so many more business books than there should be.
"One of the best"
Jeffery Liker, is one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of learning from. Great book one of many. Thank you for your dedication my friend.
"It is a life long journey"
This book give an inside witness about how Toyota made their glory in the last 50 years. It is all about consistent development of middle leaders which will result on an improved products. Development is not a 5-10 years plan, it is a life journey to self commitment to develop others.
I enjoyed listening to this book.
quite comprehensive...if one wants to learn how Toyota works.
Also interesting to see how things are supposed to be and how they actually are in most of the other organisations.
"Very general content"
This book is riding on the success of Toyota and the Lean Leadership but it does not offer many practical and actionable insights or advices if that is what you are looking for.
"Truly Inspirational!"
Absolutely! This is a must read book for anyone in any managerial position and/or anyone who wants to understand how business is run efficiently and why it is important to spend 'quality time' on the floor with the employees.
The founder of Toyota -
The whole book was very interesting and it was full of insightful information from the very beginning to the end. Listened to it twice in a row!
Brilliant book full of brilliant ideas!
"Read and apply it all."
I have really enjoyed reading this book. it is simple to read and apply all the tips given in the book with ease...
"Must read for entrepreneurs and teachers"
This book opens a door to excellence in entrepreneurship. How to build true leadership through the company's structure in every level.
Good timers will never last like bad times. Growth lies with the last.
"An excellent book"
I think you get more from this book like from any other lean six sigma training. Since it is mainly about the lean leadership . Thank you. What a great job.
"Insightful and practical"
Helpful insights with practical and clear steps to implement. Good to hear much emphasis on the importance of process, patience and a recognition that although perfection can never be obtained, pursuit of excellence is vital for effective and purposeful leadership.

Schroeder scored on the power play for his first NHL goal.
Chris Higgins and Kevin Bieksa also scored for the Canucks (7-2-2).
Lee Stempniak scored for the Flames (3-4-2), who wrapped a three-game road trip 2-1 with the loss.

With the Canucks trailing 1-0, Burrows tied the game at 8:34 of the second. Henrik Sedin fired a shot that Irving stopped, but the puck was underneath him as a diving Burrows poked it into the net. Daniel Sedin also earned an assist on the play.
Vancouver went on the power play just 15 seconds later when Roman Cervenka was sent off for hooking.
Schroeder, a 2009 first-round draft pick, put Vancouver ahead to stay when he tipped an Alex Edler shot past Irving.
Bieksa made it 3-1 with a blast from the point.
Stempniak opened the scoring late in the first period. Blake Comeau sent a pass from behind the net to Matt Stajan, who shot the puck. Schneider made the first stop but Stempniak, at the side of the net, slapped home the rebound for his fifth goal of the season.
Jannik Hansen had a great chance to tie the game before the first period ended.
Notes: The Flames were also playing without centers Mikael Backlund (knee) and Mike Cammalleri (hip), plus forward Sven Baertschi (hip). ... Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said in an interview Friday that unless he gets the right offer for goaltender Roberto Luongo he is prepared to keep both Luongo and Schneider for the remainder of the season. ... David Booth, who has missed the entire season with a groin injury, skated with the Canucks on Saturday morning. Ryan Kesler, recovering from both shoulder and wrist surgery, has been skating for a week.

By Wade Bourne, WF360 Mississippi Flyway Migration Editor
"They're here." That's what hunters in Illinois' central and south-central waterfowl zones are saying about ducks, or they should be! Recent aerial surveys counted impressive numbers of ducks on refuges and management areas in the mid-state region. The latest survey on October 28 tallied exceptionally high numbers of pintails, gadwalls, and green-winged teal. Mallard numbers are also good and are expected to climb with each new cold front.
Randy Smith, wetland wildlife program manager for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, has the specifics. "Our pintail count is incredibly high," he says. "During our last survey, we counted 142,000 pintails. This compares to a 10-year average at this same time of 33,000 pintails. And gadwalls are through the roof. We counted over 100,000 gadwalls, compared to a 10-year average of 26,000. Overall, we had the highest non-mallard count in our survey's history. It's phenomenal how many ducks are here right now."
Jake Randa, wildlife biologist at the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge near Havana, Illinois, offers a similar report. "Right now we're holding over 150,000 ducks on our refuge," he says. "Last year we peaked out in late November with 106,000 ducks, so we're well above last year's peak number, and we're still gaining birds."
To the west, John Mabery, manager of the Two Rivers National Wildlife Refuge at the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers just north of St. Louis, Missouri, is also impressed by the migration thus far. "We have good numbers of ducks on our refuge, and we're continuing to build," he says. "We're having a steady increase. We currently have more pintails than any other species, and we've also got a lot of mallards and green-winged teal. We typically hit our peak number of ducks around the end of November, and we're on target for that."
Hunting in Illinois' south-central waterfowl zone opens this Saturday (November 9). This zone includes two of this state's most popular public hunting areas: Rend Lake and Carlyle Lake. "Water conditions at Rend and Carlyle are very good," Smith says. "Based on the youth hunt results this past weekend, I expect a good opening day on both lakes."
The weather forecast calls for a significant cold front to arrive in Illinois by mid-week, bringing cooler temperatures and breezy conditions. "Hopefully this will get the ducks stirring," Smith says.
He adds that Doppler radar tracked some large movements of ducks out of Illinois this past Saturday night, but new birds have arrived to replace them. "I don't expect any big downturn in duck numbers, and hunter success should improve as the month goes on. Overall, I think we're setting up for a very good duck season in Illinois," he says.

ALAMEDA -- When the Raiders look at the Denver Broncos these days, they feel as if they are looking at the old Indianapolis Colts.
Quarterback Peyton Manning is playing himself, with linebackers Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil playing the roles of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis.
The Raiders admit that it really doesn't matter how much time anyone has to prepare for Manning. He's going to be a handful, no matter what. Game-planning for Miller and Dumervil isn't any easier, especially on a short week. The teams play for the second time this season Thursday night at the Coliseum.
"Yeah, they're pretty good, man," Raiders right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes said. "They're kind of like the old Indy. Peyton's older, with a Mathis and Freeney type of deal.
"Von can rush, he can drop back and cover, and Elvis does a good job coming off the edge, too. They do well in their scheme. They do very good at what they do. So, pass blocking those guys is going to be key."
Miller and Dumervil combined for 23 of the Broncos' 38 sacks the first 12 games. Barnes and left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer figure to see the dynamic duo most often, though left guard Cooper Carlisle said the Broncos do some things to free up their best playmakers.
"They're both a handful," Carlisle said, "and they both kind of present different problems."
To that end, Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said it's incumbent upon him to devise ways to help keep Dumervil and Miller from teeing off on quarterback Carson Palmer. The best way is to keep in extra blockers.
"The more things you can show them, the more it helps," Carlisle said. "At the same time, there's times where you're going to have to do it on your own."
"You could see him cutting, you could see him bursting off the foot," Skipper said. "You wouldn't have noticed today that he had been injured."
Skipper's glowing report is consistent with coach Dennis Allen's expectation of McFadden playing Thursday night for the first time in five games.
For his part, McFadden said he is awaiting word from the team's athletic trainers on whether his high-ankle sprain is healed well enough for him to play in a game.
"As long as they say I'm good to go, I'm going to sign off on it," McFadden said.
Backup cornerback and punt returner Phillip Adams missed practice as a result of the concussion he suffered against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the same game in which Giordano and Mitchell were concussed. He is questionable for the Broncos game.
Allen spent last season as the Broncos defensive coordinator, working under coach John Fox. During that time, Fox and the other Broncos coaches and players got a chance to meet Grady Allen.
Fox said Allen's father's passing puts things in perspective, with football taking its proper place in the background. He added that he texted Allen to pass along his condolences and to let him know he is thinking about him during this trying time.
Wide receiver Juron Criner (shoulder), tight end Brandon Myers (shoulder) and Barnes (triceps) were added to the injury report. All three were limited in practice Tuesday.

Bessie Lee Swan, age 88, passed away at her home in Springer, Okla., on Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 17, 2012, at Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church in Milo, Okla., with the Reverend Ricky McGee officiating. Interment to follow at Jehovah Cemetery, Milo, Okla.
Bessie Lee was born on April 25, 1924, to Florence McGee and Arabella (Williams) McGee at Milo, Okla. She was the third to last born of her 12 siblings. She married Albert Swan Jr. and together they raised four boys on a working farm in Springer, Okla. Bessie was a hard-working woman. In her younger years, she worked as a nurse's aide at night to provide for her family. After Albert's death of cancer in 1976, Bessie held various jobs, including working as a cook at Central High School and at Springer High School where her three eldest boys went to school. Although she had limited financial resources, Bessie was a God-fearing woman who always had a meal or a kind word for visitors at her home. She was able to see all of her children graduate from high school and attend college. Not an easy task for a widowed farmer. During her time with us, Bessie loved to garden, cook and spend time reading the Bible and singing the Gospel. She also took on many new hobbies in her 70s, such as traveling to visit her grandchildren and regular trips to the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Bessie Lee was an active Elder of the Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church in Milo, Okla., where she also sang in the choir. She loved her family best of all.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Albert Swan Jr.; her parents, Florence and Arabella McGee; sisters, Vernida McGee, Izora Colbert, Laura Cohee, Arlene Charles and Callie Simpson; and brothers, Floyd McGee, Ernest McGee, Jessie McGee and Walter McGee.
Bessie Lee is survived by her sisters, Martha Poteet and husband, James Poteet, of Springer, and Erma Jean White and husband, Al White, of Colbert; sons, Albert Swan Jr., of Dallas, Texas, Billy Swan of Dallas, Texas, Daryl Lynn Swan of Ardmore, Okla., and Carry Tyronn Swan and wife, Genea Morfeld-Swan, of Charlotte, North Carolina; grandchildren, Randy Swan, Kerry Young, Ebony Young, Byron Hunter, Cameron Swan, Trey Swan, Beyily Brooks-Swan, Ashley Stevenson, Brittany Swan, Justus Swan, Cole Alexander Swan and Dru Elizabeth Swan; great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews and many loving friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be Dale Rabb, Lorenzo Leake, Gary Freeman, Randy Guess, Wendell Cohee and John Paul McKinley.
Family visitation will be from 6 to 8 this evening at Griffin-Hillcrest, Ardmore, Okla.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, June 7, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- At some point in our lives, we all will need to think about getting older and ask ourselves whether we will be able to get around in our own homes.
The key for aging homeowners is to prevent falls and injuries before they happen by proactively addressing safety issues in the home -- and that may mean they need to remodel.
Falling is the leading cause of death from injury in adults over the age of 65. This means you need to make your home as safe as possible to prevent falls. When you remodel, you may want to think about installing grab bars, widening doorways for walkers or wheelchairs, eliminating steps and replacing traditional bathtubs with walk-in shower tubs.
You also may want to think about hiring a certified aging-in-place specialist.
"A certified aging-in-place specialist is an expert in getting your home ready for a senior to live in. They understand exactly what needs to be done to make the home safe: what flooring needs to be in place, what hallways you need for wheelchair accessibility and even getting the bathroom retrofitted to be a safe place for the senior," says Angie Hicks of Angie's List.
Home modifications for seniors can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on what you need.
If you're going to live in your house for five to 10 years, it could very well be a good return on investment. Remember, you're never too early to start planning for the future.

1. Street performers
I'm a big fan of street performers, and one of my life-goals is to be good enough to draw crowds. Street performers are masters at getting and keeping a crowd's attention. They're really, really fun. A flair for theater will help me in teaching, too.
Kathy and I don't really have patter or comedy going, but that's something I'd like to explore--perhaps when I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. I should buy a diabolo set before I go home, as they're cooler than devilsticks.
Anyway, that was way cool.
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Scott Linesburgh">
STOCKTON - The Thunder has been urged to get it's swagger back by its coach. And while one win does not guarantee swagger, it certainly is a step in the right direction.
Coming off a win to close out a tough weekend, Stockton will host the troublesome San Francisco Bulls at 7 p.m. today at Stockton Arena.
Thunder coach Matt Thomas called for the team to exert itself, and in Sunday's 2-1 win against Utah to salvage a win in the three-game series, he said the Thunder played "angry," and he coached the same way.
The message was received.
"To succeed in hockey, you have to play with confidence, and having swagger is the same thing," said forward Harrison Reed, who has three goals in the past three games. "I think you have to play like that and be confident in your own game."
Stockton (22-16-7) has slowed down at home and struggled against the Bulls, and would like to address both issues. After starting the season 7-1-0 at the Arena, the Thunder is 3-3-2 in its past eight home contests. It also is 2-4-1 against San Francisco (17-21-5) with six games left with its regional rival.
"I think (the Bulls) have had our number early on and I know we've played them a ton," Stockton forward Matt Reber said. "It would be kind of huge if we could come out on top and set the tone because it is a potential playoff opponent. We need to keep it sharp early on (today), and we'll be OK."

text: I don't know if this will be useful for anyone out there, but its something I was reminded of today. I've had many failed projects over the years. In fact, I've probably left a smouldering trail long enough to light up the passage from Europe to America by now. But, getting to my point, the reason I believe I've had such a high rate of abandoned stories is down to the fact I rarely ever start my planning with a solid theme. Laugh if you like. It's a basic element of novel planning, yet so many online tutorials and guides seem to miss out this crucial step entirely. For my latest WIP, I made sure I started with a rock solid theme. The theme is so important to start from because it drives the story and keeps everything pointing in the same direction. Time and time again I'd start with a random idea or plot (i.e. assassin seeks revenge, war between two nations, magical superweapon is constructed). None of those were my actual ideas, I'd like to say. If you start with a theme such as 'greed' or 'revenge', or maybe two central themes, you get a better sense of the overall feel of the story. Then come up with a couple of minor/sub-themes which will also crop up (i.e. humanity's struggle to understand its own purpose). Now you know that everything you write within the framework of those themes, should be connected to/driven by one/all of those themes. I will say that these themes should all be connected somehow, definitely to the main theme. Joe Abercrombie demonstrates this technique wonderfully in Best Served Cold. The theme is revenge, clear and simple. The characters are constantly driven by that theme, both for the purpose of the main plot and sub-plots. He pulls it off so well that as you read further along, every single character (major and minor) seems to be tangled up in a mess of personal vendetta and vengeance. It makes the story so much stronger as a result. If he'd gone in with no core theme, only knowing that his main character wanted revenge, the overall feel of the story and world would have been lost and it wouldn't have pulled in the reader so well as it did for me. Phew... I've written much more than I was planning to! What do you guys think about theme and its importance?

Graveyard dispute
A Ballybofey man is threatening to have the remains of his parents exhumed from a Donegal graveyard as he feels their grave has not been treated with respect.
Brian Sweeney said he is considering moving the remains of his late parents from the Stranorlar parish graveyard at Drumboe due to an ongoing dispute he is having with the local graveyard committee.
Sweeney claims graves are driven over by a digger, and the excavation of graves by the digger has been causing the sides of existing graves to collapse and headstones to shift. Headstones have been moved to allow access to the mechanical digger, Sweeney claims.
However, referring to Sweeney's claim that a headstone was removed to allow a grave to be dug, the graveyard committee said in a letter last year that they believe the movement of the headstone was caused by subsidence and the headstone was replaced "in a respectable and professional manner."
Meanwhile, Sweeney wants to erect a surround over the family plot, which the family has paid for, to protect it, but he has been prohibited by the committee, which says the graveyard is a lawn cemetery and surrounds are not allowed.
A sign in the graveyard states that the graveyard is for headstones only and surrounds should not be erected. The ban on surrounds goes back as far as 1978.
A spokesman for the committee said staff takes great care when working around graves. He denied that the digger is driven over the grave, but if it does come close to graves any damage done is repaired.
"No other family has had an issue with anything in that cemetery," he said. "This has been a lawn cemetery from day one in 1978, for maintenance purposes."
He said there have been some offenders to the no surrounds rule, but those families will be written to on the matter "as they are going against the wishes of the parish."
"Down the years the priests have had to refuse other people who wanted to put up surrounds and there were a few who went against that," he said.
A solicitor's letter sent to Sweeney on behalf of the Stranorlar parish in March this year said the ban on surrounds is a "firm rule" and "under no circumstances" should Sweeney attempt to erect a surround. The committee said that while surrounds had been erected before the formation of the committee, there is nothing they can do about that. "Going ahead, we have to instigate the rule of no surrounds," the letter states.
Sweeney said he is considering the drastic move of having the remains of his parents exhumed and moved to another graveyard.
He has written to the parish graveyard committee and the Bishop of Raphoe Dr. Philip Boyce about the matter.

Englishman wins claim
An English-born fireman who lives in Co. Limerick has been awarded €5,000 in compensation after an equality officer ruled he was discriminated against by his employer, Limerick City Council.
Martin Mannering initiated proceedings against the local authority two years ago following a number of incidents while he was at work. At an equality tribunal hearing in May, Mannering said on one occasion a racist note was posted on his locker at work.
"This is Limerick, Ireland, not Middlesborough," read the note, which suggested that Mannering should "take the advice" of another named colleague.
The tribunal was told the reference to Middlesborough related to where Mannering was originally from.
Mannering said the anonymous note could only have come from within the fire station, and Limerick City Council had failed to protect him from that type of harassment.
The council rejected the allegation that it had discriminated against Mannering because of his nationality. The tribunal was told that Mannering and his union representative met staff at the human resources department shortly after the incident.
The local authority said Mannering and his representative frustrated an internal investigation of the complaint.
However, in his decision, equality officer Stephen Bonnlander ruled that Limerick City Council had discriminated against Mannering, who began work as a fireman in 2001.
He said the chief fire officer had allowed Mannering to transfer to Dublin Fire Service on health and safety grounds, but had not followed up on his harassment claim.
"I find that the chief fire officer's failure to insist on an investigation, in contravention of the very clear obligations which the respondent's anti-harassment policy places on staff members of his level of seniority, amounts to a failure to take steps as are reasonably practicable to prevent the complainant's harassment," said Bonnlander.

LINDEN - Two people died and another was badly injured in a two-car crash Wednesday afternoon just east of Linden, authorities said.
A 91-year-old man and a 90-year-old woman traveling south on North Fine Road in a 2014 Hyundai about 1:45 p.m. ran a stop sign at Highway 26, the California Highway Patrol said. The Hyundai collided with a 2006 Chevy driven by Michael Murphy, a 46-year-old Stockton resident, officers said.
The couple died in the crash, the CHP said. They were identified Thursday by the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office as Moon Peffer and Jadie Peffer of Linden.
Murphy suffered major injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment, officers said.
STOCKTON - A man was taken to a hospital Wednesday night after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds in south Stockton, police said.

In their first shows since Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon, both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert had a few things to say about the tragic event.
Few — but powerful.
Echoing the words of many others who have witnessed the outpouring of pure goodness in the aftermath of the attacks, Stewart expressed his gratitude to the Cradle of Liberty for "inspiring and solidifying my belief in humanity and the people of this country."
Echoing Stewart's sentiments, Colbert had similar, albeit spicier things to say to the individual or individuals behind the attacks.
"Whoever did this obviously did not know shit about the people of Boston, because nothing these terrorists do is going to shake them," Colbert said before adding, "for Pete's sake, Boston was founded by the Pilgrims!"

The fact that more people associate men with working in the criminal justice field than women doesn't bother Hannah Cooper.
In fact, it has the opposite effect.
"It's not very common for women to be interested (in the field), so I find it interesting," the Belpre High School sophomore said prior to a session on criminal justice education and careers Friday at Washington State Community College's annual "We are STEM Day" program.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Belpre High School sophomores Rachelle Lemon, center, and Hannah Cooper, right, dust for fingerprints during a session on criminal justice at "We are STEM Day" Friday at Washington State Community College.
More than 60 sophomores from Belpre and Meigs high schools participated in the program. Schools from Washington, Meigs and Morgan counties were invited.
STEM Day grew from the college's "We are IT Day," aimed at getting girls interested in traditionally male-dominated fields like information technology. It now includes a variety of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers and the idea of reversing gender imbalances isn't a one-way proposition.
Meigs sophomore Kenny Cox said he signed up because he's interested in phlebotomy. It doesn't give him pause that that and other medical jobs tend to be filled by women more often than men.
"I don't worry about that kind of stuff," Cox said.
"Me either," added fellow Meigs student Robert Gibbs. "If it's a job, it's a job. You're bringing in money to support your family."
Nearly a dozen boys participated in sessions on careers in respiratory therapy, physical therapy and nursing Friday, while approximately 55 girls learned about criminal justice, engineering and digital media jobs.
Nick Arnold, assistant director of College Tech Prep for Washington State, said Gov. John Kasich has emphasized the importance of STEM careers in Ohio's continuing economic recovery and growth.
"STEM careers encompass a lot of high-skill, high-wage career fields," he said.
The $6,500 state grant that funded STEM Day was not renewed, but Arnold said that doesn't necessarily spell the end for events like Friday's.
"We're in the planning stages to look at how we can continue to do this," he said.
Belpre sophomore Adrienne Blair said she came Friday to get more experience at the college, which she hopes to attend next year as a Post-Secondary Enrollment Option student with the goal of earning an associate's degree by the time she graduates from high school.
While she appreciated the opportunity, she didn't need STEM Day to tell her females can succeed in traditionally male fields - she's been a kicker for Belpre's football team the last two years.
"I believe that anybody can do any job that they want to," she said.
