Engaging Consumers, Creating Value
Findings on value creation and regulatory fit offer far-ranging implications for management, marketing and even mental health.
Value — how much importance or worth people place on any given thing — is a big idea packed into a small word. But to get at where value comes from, says Professor E. Tory Higgins, value must not be thought of exclusively as a positive thing. Higgins, who has spent much of his career considering questions related to motivation, investigates the origin of value not by focusing on where it comes from, but instead by asking, "What is it that makes something valuable — whether positively, so that you are attracted to it, or negatively, so that you are repelled by it?"
Motivation is part of the answer. For centuries, motivation has been attributed to pleasure and pain; Higgins has shown that pleasure and pain give direction — attraction or repulsion, toward or away from — to motivation. "Simply put," he says, "pleasure is related to something that we approach, something we want to happen; pain is something we avoid and want not to happen."
Intensity, too, plays a role in value. "Whether you are choosing a partner or choosing between different dishes at a restaurant, many of our choices are between positive things, all of which would give pleasure. So the question of intensity is critical."
The accepted view about intensity is that it is driven by pleasure and pain: the more pleasure something gives, the more intensely positive it is, and the more it avoids or takes away pain the more positive it is. But Higgins' research implies otherwise. "Yes, pleasure and pain contribute to intensity. But it's not clear that pleasure and pain make the biggest contribution."
Instead, Higgins suggests that a bigger contributor may be engagement. "We are constantly moving from act to act in which we are more or less engaged in what we are doing." How strongly we are engaged, says Higgins, is a major determinant of how much we value things. Unlike pleasure and pain, engagement doesn't give direction — it doesn't attract or repel people to things. Instead, it intensifies, making positive things more positive and negative things more negative.
To explore the role of engagement in intensity, Higgins theorized that people are more likely to become fully absorbed in the present when preparing for events that are likely to happen in the future. He and his coresearchers asked subjects to rate two different yogurts (one flavored with nutmeg to taste good, the other flavored with clove to taste bad) as part of a study the subjects believed would help a dairy company determine which new yogurt flavors to feature.
In some conditions subjects were told either that there was an 80 percent likelihood that they would later receive other good-tasting yogurts or that there was an 80 percent likelihood that they would later receive other bad-tasting yogurts. In other conditions, subjects were told there was a lower likelihood of later receiving good or bad tasting yogurts. The researchers were able to show increased engagement in the present when subjects heard that a future yogurt tasting — whether for good yogurts or for bad yogurts — was likely to happen, as reflected in the good yogurt in the present becoming more attractive and the bad yogurt in the present becoming even more repellant.
How people face obstacles is another important facet of engagement. Higgins has found that when people take action to overcome (or oppose) obstacles, both internal or external — even when doing so is very unpleasant — their engagement is increased. This makes their ultimate goal more attractive: consider a climber ascending Mount Everest. "The fact that it is difficult actually increases both their engagement in the activity and the value they place on completing the work," Higgins says. Conversely, when someone gives up on pursuing a goal or decides not to start at all, engagement is weakened and value decreases.
Differences in how people perceive obstacles can also influence engagement. In one of Higgins' studies, subjects were eligible for a prize if they completed an anagram. There were primed to perceive aversive background noise — a conversation or a dentist drill — as either interference to overcome or as something to be coped with (a more passive act).
Consistent with the researchers' hypothesis, subjects who took the more active step of opposing the distracting background noise became more engaged in completing the anagram. This group also attached a higher value to their prize, while the subjects who merely coped became less engaged with their task and did not value the prize as much.
"That the value of the prize increases even though the experience is negative is not something that is obvious from the conventional view of hedonic pleasure and pain," says Higgins.
Higgins' insights into engagement and value may upend one axiom of economics. "The principle of scarcity assumes that the value of any scarce thing goes up and, accordingly, becomes more positive or attractive. But in most cases when that happens, it is something positive that is scarce."
Higgins thought that scarcity might function more like a barrier — as something that can increase or decrease engagement — than a motivator. Higgins and coresearchers returned to yogurt once more, finding that when subjects believed the slightly bitter yogurt they were tasting was scarce they valued it even less than when they believed it was not scarce. Further, the study was set up so that all subjects had to violate social norms to participate (either by "selfishly" choosing the more scarce yogurt or by giving up scarcity value by choosing the less scarce yogurt). This ensured that subjects would have to overcome personal resistance — increasing their engagement.
"While supplies last," "Last day of sale" or "Limited edition" campaigns are common marketing tactics that employ the scarcity principle. But marketers should be careful about playing hard to get, warns Higgins: this approach only works with products for which the consumer already has a positive outlook or established relationship.
Higgins' past work on motivation and regulatory fit taken in conjunction with these insights about engagement may open other doors for marketers.
Regulatory engagement theory separates people into two basic types. Promotion-driven individuals pursue goals in an eager way, constantly looking for ways to advance; they are risk-tolerant and likely to consider a number of courses of action when confronted with a task or problem. In contrast, prevention-driven people tend to pursue their goals in a cautious way, acting vigilantly to avoid errors and minimize risk.
When a person in a promotion state finds himself working in an organizational culture that prizes risk taking and innovation, he is said to experience regulatory fit. If that same person then goes to work for a company whose ethos emphasizes vigilance over risk, he will probably have a hard time — the work culture is a nonfit for his regulatory state. Likewise, when a prevention person finds herself in an eager, risk-taking work culture, she's in a nonfit. And, Higgins has found, when people experience nonfit environments — whether they are promotion- or prevention-driven — they disengage.
Combining the principles behind intensification and engagement can work across a broad range of situations. Managers and influencers can consider ways in which engagement needs to be strengthened or weakened, which can often serve the dual purpose of creating a more positive experience (in the case of strengthening engagement) for staff while at the same reducing operational costs associated with reduced resistance.
Marketers may be able to use nonfit as a tool to prompt consumers to think about reasons they have not, for instance, purchased green products in the past. For example, a promotion person does not tend to make decisions in a careful, thorough way, and being asked to do so creates a nonfit. The disengagement brought on by the nonfit condition can deintensify some beliefs and perceptions. "If you ask a promotion person to write down the evidence for why they don't like or aren't willing to buy green products, that sort of vigilant approach is a nonfit. In a nonfit their positive attitude toward their evidence is deintensified. They may in fact be running through evidence for their position, but that act can undermine their bias against purchasing green products," Higgins explains.
Because experiencing regulatory fit tends to make people "feel right" about what they are doing, Higgins suggests that people try to carry out difficult tasks in a fit way. For example, parents contemplating buying life insurance may see it as important but feel anxious about doing so given that it implies their impending deaths, however far removed that may be from the moment. In such an instance, strengthening engagement to intensify their positive view on buying life insurance in a way that make them feel less anxious about the decision could be useful.
Finally, there is some evidence that people feel better when they manage their emotional problems consistent with their regulatory fit; Higgins is now exploring possible mental health applications of regulatory fit [read more about this on the Public Offering blog].
Higgins is not surprised to find value woven so deeply into so many assorted disciplines. "Value is central to theories of psychology, consumer behavior and political science, management, organizations and marketing," says Higgins. "And motivation is all about value and value as incentives. It is present in every aspect of life, in everything we do."

For tickets and more information about Neil Berg's "Phantoms of the Opera," visit www.mscopas.org
One of the world's most famous musicals is set to premiere at Texas A&M. Phantom of the Opera has been around for decades, and the story is centuries old. But now, a group of award winning stage actors are preparing a new-take on a story of fear and love.
On a cloudy day at Texas A&M University, in a ballroom, beautiful music drifts across the air.
Three people surround a piano while the ballroom is being set-up for an event later Monday evening.
Rebecca Pitcher. Danny Zolli. Producer Neil Berg on the piano.
"In all of the versions we're doing, it's all very mysterious and each one of them is very different," explained Pitcher.
"I was a 'Phantom of the Opera' nut from the time I was seven years old and saw the Lon Cheney film," shared Zolli.
"I know that there's other versions, musical versions of the opera that were major hits, but no one knows about it in the world, especially here in Texas," said Berg.
If you've never seen the musical or movie, Phantom of the Opera is known around the world. Berg intends to open your eyes to more.
He chose Texas A&M University for the world premiere of Phantoms of the Opera. It's a historical journey through the different iterations of one of the world's most famous musicals.
"Every night, every production, every different production is different and just amazing in the differences of the stories of each writer or composer took from the story to use," said Pitcher.
"For 'Phantom of the Opera' fans, where these six or seven different versions of musicals being done out there. All telling the same story all in very very different ways, all so beautifully done, for a very simple reason: fear, love, passion," said Zolli.
"When people don't know what to expect, that's when the biggest impact can be made," said Berg. He hopes audiences take away a new outlook on a very old story.
This week is Phantoms Week on Brazos Valley This Morning. Viewers have a chance to win a pair of tickets to a performance.
Neil Berg's "Phantoms of the Opera" premieres to the world on April 4th & 5th at Rudder Auditorium on the campus of Texas A&M. The performance will close out MSC OPAS' 40th season.

Perfect storm ahead – the Tory baccalaureate
February 2, 2013
Robin Richardson
Review of The English Baccalaureate: a tangled web scrutinised edited by Trevor Fisher, 28pp, available free of charge from Viewpoint, PO Box 3599. Stafford ST16 9RD on receipt of a stamped addressed C5 envelope.
Educational changes are being introduced,' wrote 22 professors of education in an open letter to the prime minister in November 2012, 'which we believe will harm the prosperity of our nation and limit the life-chances of our young people. A perfect storm is brewing.' They said further that the storm, if it is not prevented, will 'engulf our schools … and seriously damage our economy'. The professors were referring to plans for the re-fashioning of educational qualifications at the age of 16+, and for changes in the pedagogy and relationships through which the curriculum is taught and learnt. Broadly the same robust criticisms and severe warnings may be made of the government's follow-up plans to re-fashion qualifications at 18+. Read more of this post

I think perhaps for most of us this was the most expected announcement made by Apple at MacWorld. With all the buzz flying around, and no solid facts. Though Kevin Rose apparently spilled the details a lot of people were holding his story credible, but it isn't all true. In fact, most of it is wrong. At the MacWorld keynote, Steve Jobs, explained how they had to keep this a secret for over 2 and a half years. However they managed that, I am truly amazed. The full specs and details are listed below.
- Single front button
- 3.5 inch widescreen display, 320 x 480 at 160dpi
- 2 megapixel camera
- iPod dock connector
- Accelerometer to detect the changed between landscape and portrait mode and adjusts the screen accordingly
- Proximity sensor to turn off the display backlight when you are holding the phone to your head, which saves battery life.
- 11.6 mm thick
- Syncs with iTunes
- 802.11b/g WiFi – Switches seamlessly between WiFi and EDGE whenever you are in/out of coverage
- Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and A2DP
- Cinglar only (US)
- Visual voicemail – shows a list of your voicemails like you see a list of emails
- Error correcting with the on-screen keyboard
- Gestural interface
- Apple Mail
- Safari
- iTunes with intergrated CoverFlow
- Google Maps
- Widgets
- Free Yahoo! IMAP email service to all iPhone purchasers
- 5 hour video battery life
- 16 hour audio battery life
- Runs on Mac OS X*
The 4GB costs $499 and the 8GB $599, which includes a two year contract. It starts to ship in June for the US, 4Q 2007 for Europe and for Australia they see it in 2008 (ouch).
*Though Apple lists the iPhone to run OS X, and what Steve Jobs said, it has been confirmed by an Apple Rep that it will not allow you to install OS X applications. This is a big blow to the device, at least in my opinion. Why would Apple, and Steve Jobs, specifically highlight the fact that it runs OS X when in actual fact, it is a truncated version of OS X, probably incapable of running fully featured applications. This has irritated many people, including myself. Will you not be able to run any applications at all from it, or will Apple release some sort of optimiser to iPhone-ise exisiting applications? From what I know, you will be able to add your own Widgets, or exisiting ones that you can download for the Dashboard.
What are my thoughts on the iPhone? Well I like it. I thing the design is amazing, not just the user interface, but of the phone as well. The ideas that have been incorporated are truly unique and visionary. Apple really has set the bar high this time. What I am annoyed about is not only the lack of 3G, instead uses EDGE (2.5G, Enhanced GPRS), but the fact that it is only coming out in the 4Q of 2007 here. Though I already have my K800i, which is one amazing phone, I don't know if I could give it up for the iPhone. Though it's PDA-esque features are nice, what would I do about applications like GPS software (I use TomTom on my PDA) and other 3rd party software I have come to love and enjoy, especially with the news that you can't install your own applications. The price as well is intimidating. I currently don't use my phone enough to warrant a Pay Monthly service (I use Pay as you go), but with the 2-year contract, the base price, as well as a monthlu plan that will have to have an unlimited service (how could I not use Safari while on the go?) Not only that, but what service provider will we get out here in the UK. I don't want some crappy provider like Vodafone or O2. I hate them, I do, more so than Orange, which have the world's worst customer support.
Scratches? Don't even get me started, with a massive 3.5 inch screen, this is destined for scratches. You would have to buy a protector/shield for it as well, which is not free, and there is none out there on the market yet for the iPhone. The proximity sensor is truly inspirational, and who else but Apple would come up with something like that. It is nice for Apple to incorporate an accelerometer to switch between the landscape mode and portrait mode in the OS, as well as other functions. I have something similar in my Canon PowerShot A540, which automatically changes the orientation based on how you are holding it. Well done Apple, you have once again succeeded at making me want I product I cannot afford, nor cannot get my hands on until 3/4 of a year later.
Engadget has a lot of photos taken during the keynote, of the iPhone and its interface, as well as fully explaining the demo Steve Jobs gave. You can check that out here.

Both days this weekend, locals have the opportunity to enjoy performances by Summit School of Dance students from Summit, Lake and Eagle counties.
On Saturday at 7 p.m. and at 4 p.m. on Sunday, students will take the stage in the Summit High School auditorium for a tradition nearly 30 years old.
"There's about 250 dancers that will cross the stage this weekend," said Melanie Frey, director and owner of the Summit School of Dance. "This is an entire studio effort. And the Saturday show is different than the Sunday show."
Five soloists will perform in addition to the numerous group routines. "Most of the soloists have choreographed their own piece," Frey said. "They pick their own music and decided their own style to dance in. That is an honor for graduating seniors only."
Dancers as young as 3 will also take the spotlight, performing what may be the beginning of many dance recitals as cooks, frogs and sailor crabs. The boys will display their skills as zombies and older boys will try their hands at imitating the Jabba Wockeeze. The performances will also include fairies, magicians, shadows and cowgirls.
The award-winning CO.motion dancers will also take center stage as they perform "Secrets," a piece that has won them a number of first-place trophies at regional competitions this year in Denver.
Frey works out of the School of Dance's Frisco location. Satellite studios are based in the Eagle-Vail Pavilion and the old CMC building in Breckenridge. She is now in her 23rd year of managing the studio and putting on these recitals, she said.
The school educates young people in poise, discipline, creativity, athleticism, performance and art. The emphasis for Frey is not only on dance, but also on individuality, cohesiveness, strength and perseverance.

Budget Panel Leaders Meet, Make No Assurances
The leaders of the new congressional budget conference committee met for breakfast Thursday morning and pledged to seek "common ground," but they made no assurances they would be able to reach an agreement by a December deadline.
"I want to have a budget agreement that works for the country," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), one of the group's leaders said. "I want to have a budget agreement that gets this debt and deficit under control that does right by future generations. That helps us grow the economy. We are going to try to figure out if we can get an agreement to do that."
His Senate counterpart, Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D., Wash.), said that "all issues are on the table. We'll be talking about all of them."

Their task is to reconcile separate budget resolutions passed by the House and the Senate earlier this year. Mr. Ryan's budget resolution would not raise taxes and included deep spending cuts, particularly in Medicaid, over the next decade. Ms. Murray's budget resolution had large tax increases but did much less to limit future spending on entitlement programs.
The Wednesday deal to suspend the debt ceiling and end the government shutdown also set a Dec. 13 reporting deadline for the conference committee, which until now had not even been appointed.
There are no legal consequences if they fail, but a lack of resolution increases the chances that there could be another last-second debate over a possible government shutdown when federal funding expires Jan. 15.
The scope of the budget conference committee will be as broad or narrow as Mr. Ryan and Ms. Murray decide. They could try to push for a complete overhaul of the tax code and major changes to Social Security and Medicare, or they could simply try and work through differences in government funding through September 2014.
Ms. Murray said a priority for her would be to "replace some of the damaging sequester" cuts that began in March and added that a target would be on spending levels "for the next year or two or further if we can."
Some Republicans have suggested they would be willing to ease some of those across-the-board spending cuts in exchange for reductions in entitlement programs like Medicare. Mr. Ryan said no decisions had been made.
The two chairmen were joined at breakfast by the ranking members of their committees, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.). Both men said they would try and help the panel succeed, but they said there were no assurances a deal could be reached.
"We don't want to raise expectations above reality, but I think there's some things we could do," Mr. Sessions said.
"Talking doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't get together obviously you can't move forward," Mr. Van Hollen said.
The path forward remains unclear. There are 29 members of the conference committee (seven from the House, 22 from the Senate), and most of their meetings can be held in private.
"Chairman Ryan knows I'm not going to vote for his budget," Ms. Murray said. "I know that he's not going to vote for mine. We're going to find the common ground between our two budgets that we both can vote on. That's our goal."

A guy in our Tri club shaved his legs and now has decided to let the hair grow back. He said it was a pain in the butt to maintain the clean shave look. He claims he has never fallen off his bike or has not gained alot of time due to shaved legs. As far as secret handshake goes, isn't that from grade school or something.
I'm going to go against the grain and say go with waxing. I've been doing it for over a year now and the hair grows back slower, finer, and thinner the longer I do it. Your legs are also smooth, COMPLETELY smooth for at least a week before it starts growing back. It's more of a hassle the first few times, but then it's well worth it. I'm not going to lie to you, it's painful, but you get used to that after awhile too. And I save tons of time not having to shave.
My suggestion, go to a salon. I couldn't do it at home, but at the salon they do a better job and for some reason it seems less painful.
i've been shaving now for about 1/2 the year. i like the feel and look and don't really care what others think. as far as etiquette is concerned - i think that's a non-issue. while i have yet to get in a wreck on my bike, hiking through thick areas in the mountains will tear up your legs. it's nice afterwards to rinse your smooth legs in a river or pond compared to hairy legs. i'm doing an ironman in 7 weeks, and after that's over, i'll still continue to shave. i think it becomes habitual.
First off shaving your legs doesn't add or remove enough resistance to mater in an open water swim, so set all that malarkey aside. What it does do is raise your adrenalin level because of the heightened sensitivity to all touch, especially water. That is the true benefit. Any one who has done it can relate to the amazing sensitivity gained at first exposure.
So a couple of pointers if you proceed. First use a razor it removes dead skin too and increases sensitivity. Second do it just before your race so the reaction is fresh. Next shave anything not covered by a suit, but NOT your eyebrows, it will mess up your vision while swimming. Head too if you have the courage. Finally don't do it regularly or it looses the effect.
This is a swimmers point of view as a former D-1 All American. Good Luck and the other comments are right too, I met plenty of girls who loved the whole shaved down thing, so get some help from an experienced person with a razor it may save a cut or two.
I shave my entire body except for my head. It is and awesome feeling when you rub your body up with your SO when hers is all shaved aswell. Is that weird?
I have to say i think it is so sexy to see a triathlete or cyclist with a hairless in shape body!
Leg shaving has several advantages to any athelete besides
just looking good and feeling good:
- In land based sports such as cycling or running during
hot weather, the body cools itself by the evaporation of sweat. If your body is very hairy as is the case with your
testosterone infused male athlete types, a lot of sweat is
wicked away from the skin. If the evaporation takes place away from the skin, there is little to no cooling effect and the sweat just dehydrates you for nothing.
In a long race this might even mean the difference between finishing or not!
-If you partake of regular massages for the many benefits
it provides, a hairless surface makes for a very fluid and
painless massage. ( There is little pain when oil is used
any way. Less oil is needed to obtain the other effect when its time to wash off)
- When swimming there is a reduction of drag when hair is not present. Due to the low vicosity of air this is not really a concern to cyclists or runners as any effect would be too small to make the effort worthwhile.
- As cited by most cyclists cleaning up scrapes and pulling bandages of goes much better without hair though
its not likely to prevent infections.
- If the game takes you through the woods or brush you might not see the ticks you pick up with a fur coat on.
- Did I mention that it looks good! Many women really like
a guy with a full body shave because it looks cleaner and
adds definition. Those who initially react adversely (some think of Mr Biggles)gradually warm up to the look and feel as the initial strangeness of it wears off.
There have actually been studies to back me up on this.
I've been shaving legs for 15 years now. Don't have to be all fancy with razor's etc.....I don't even use gel, hot water from the shower and one of my wife's pink daisy razors and in two minutes I'm done. I personally like the look and as a personal trainer I like to see the muscle definition. I'm secure enough in my manhood that comments don't bother me. In fact the majority of comments are way more positive!
Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Do I do it?.... of course, and there is only one good reason. So you don't look like a newbie! Have fun...
can anyone help me out!!! i just shaved my legs for the first time 2 days ago and now they are itching like crazy and it is driving me insane! moisturizers dont work and there are some areas of little red bumps. any suggestions? i have also heard that this will go away the more you shave, is that true?
An added value... if you use a COMPEX, shaved legs help ! You will be able to use your stickies more time.
Let's face it. We men shave our legs because it makes it our legs look better. Why on earth would we train so hard and then have a bunch of hair conceal all that wonderful definition? I think after awhile ti just becomes a part of the routine.
This is the best explanation of leg shaving I've ever seen!
I swam competitively through jr high & high school so seeing a shaved guy is nothing new. If you're not sure how to go about shaving, just do what the guys my team did and ask a girl for help. We'll probably laugh at you, but then we'll take pity.

A Wild Weekend of NFL Uncertainty
Before the NFL playoffs begin this weekend, there's a more pressing issue for some fans hoping to sit at home and sink deeply into their couches: Will they even be able to watch the games? A handful of teams are facing a television blackout should they not sell enough tickets, a relic of decades-old policy that's drawn criticism for being shortsighted about the powerful presence of home viewing in today's sport.
You can understand why some Green Bay fans might want to stay home. Snide comments about the fanbase's supposedly legendary dedication aside, the temperature for their game against the San Francisco 49ers is supposed to plunge into double underwear territory, which may not even bring any home field advantage. Why not host a party and enjoy the benefits of central heating? (Besides, even if they lose there's plenty to cheer about.) It's a strange turn of events that would allow the 8-7-1 Packers to host the 12-4 49ers, but such is the ruling of the seeding system—a fact which may prod the NFL to reevaluate how the games are scheduled in the future. "It's time to go all the way on this one, NFL. And it's time to stop rewarding mediocrity," Don Banks writes for Monday Morning Quarterback. "Just because a team wins a bad division doesn't mean it deserves the extra treat of a home playoff game."
Of course, you might say the Packers would've finished with a better record had Aaron Rodgers not been injured for half the season. That he's here underscores the point of this weekend, in which four games will take place between teams good enough to get this far: anything can happen in the loser-goes-home format of the postseason, regardless of what the regular season statistics might portend about how either side will fare. The pass-happy New Orleans Saints, for example, are trying not to put too much stock in the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles have the worst pass defense in the league—Chip Kelly is thirsty enough for his first playoff win that you might expect any number of wildly diagrammed tricks to fall out of his pocket. Perhaps Andy Reid's record in the playoffs doesn't matter much, either, nor does it matter how the San Diego Chargers snuck in.
"How far can Andy Dalton take the Bengals? Why have the Colts looked like two different teams this season? Will the Packers ever stop falling for the 49ers' trickery? Why does this Eagles season seem so familiar? Can the Saints win on the road? Will Anquan Boldin keel over from sheer exhaustion before the 49ers are eliminated?" Mike Tanier writes for Sports on Earth. "Wild-Card weekend offers many questions." Which means you can crunch the numbers until your spouse leaves you, but it'll still probably shake out differently than expected. Crank up the heat, head for your couch, and let uncertainty sink in.

The Olympics bend to history as much as any sport; each Opening Ceremony is a running slideshow roughly titled Look At The Things That Make Our Country Great, and when the IOC even hinted at the possibility of removing wrestling (the oldest sport in the Games) in favor of squash a collective spasms of disapproval forced those plans to be put on hold. And yet because they must court a younger audience—for what other demographic remains the lifeblood of sport?—the Olympics are always looking for new competitions to serve as metaphorical facelifts. Beach volleyball, hardly the most storied of sports, is one example. Three-on-three basketball (or 3×3, as it's called) may be another. The game has picked up speed overseas, where a faster shot clock and half-court setting allows for a more dynamic approach compared with the NBA, where entertainment often takes a backseat to winning. (And losing, too.) Sports Illustrated's Alexander Wolff spent some time with a FIBA-sanctioned 3×3 World Tour, going to places like Istanbul and Doha to get a first-hand look at how the game's inclusion could vivify the Olympics.
"Something begun in a driveway in Gerald Ford's old Congressional district had come a long way. Over two days it helped open a window on a country where currents of change flow over an anti-modern riptide," he writes. "Three-on-three will move on, to shake up other culturally calcified places: Qatar, for that All-Star event in December; Moscow, for the next World Championships in June; Nanjing, for the Youth Olympics in August. Year Three of the World Tour will barnstorm through the continents next summer. And then, seven years from now, the game of threes will hit Tokyo, provided those fuddy duddies on the IOC can get in touch with their inner children."

When we met Fallon Fox over the summer, the trans MMA fighter was learning to navigate the world that comes with being publicly outed as originally having been born a man. Some opponents refused to fight her; others made insensitive comments in the press; some MMA fans, not always an enlightened bunch, proudly poured on the heckling. Months later, GQ's Nancy Hass spends time with Fox as she prepares to fight only her second post-out fight, and finds her a reluctant activist who's mostly trying to have a career doing something she loves. Unfortunately, people can't always choose the role they're thrown into.
"It's facile to compare her to Jason Collins of the NBA and soccer star Robbie Rogers, both of whom came out in 2013 as gay. There really is no parallel. Gay athletes? The response at this point has been mild and civilized in most quarters, at least on the record. So brave of you! It's about time!" she writes. "But when you are a transgender athlete, a lesbian transgender athlete, a lesbian transgender athlete who fights women in a cage, a lesbian transgender athlete who fights women in a cage and fathered a daughter, a lesbian transgender athlete who fights women in a cage and fathered a daughter and served as a man in the Navy, you are not just scaling the barricades but throwing yourself against them full force."

Top Five Quotes From Sunday's Talk Shows
On a day of talk about swapping Guantanamo prisoners to free a U.S. solider; the Veterans Affairs scandal, and Hillary Clinton's possible run for president, here are Washington Wire's top five quotes from the Sunday talk shows:
1) "We have a sacred obligation that we have upheld since the founding of our republic to do our utmost to bring back our men and women who were taken in battle. And we did that in this instance." – National Security Adviser Susan Rice, discussing Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's release on ABC's "This Week."
2) "Across northern Africa, the No. 1 way that al-Qaeda raises money is by ransom. Kidnapping and ransom. We have now set a price." – House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) on the Bergdahl matter on CNN's "State of the Union."
3) "We found an opportunity. We took that opportunity. I'll stand by that decision. I signed off on the decision. The president made the ultimate decision." – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, on the Bergdahl prisoner swap on NBC's "Meet the Press."
4) "It's not just a scheduling problem in the VA. It is, as in the words of the inspector general, a 'systemic problem.' " – Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) on CBS's "Face the Nation," discussing the Veterans Affairs troubles.
5) "Hillary has been playing politics with this issue from the very beginning. Now she's launching a political defense, an organized political defense. … I think if her people want to play this parlor game of acting like she wants to run for president, then they're going to get the scrutiny for playing that game." – Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on "Fox News Sunday," discussing Hillary Clinton and the GOP's latest Benghazi inquiry.

A Quote by Aldous Leonard Huxley on good being, righteous egos, knowledge of what we are, spiritual exercise, suffering, yoga, faith, and belief
The Yogin and the Stoic--two righteous egos who achieve their very considerable results by pretending, systematically, to be somebody else. But it is not by pretending to be somebody else, even somebody supremely good and wise, that we can pass from insulated Manicheehood to Good Being.
Good Being is knowing who in fact we are; and in order to know who in fact we are, we must first know, moment by moment, who we think we are and what this bad habit of thought compels us to feel and do. A moment of clear and complete knowledge of what we think we are, but in fact are not, puts a stop for the moment, to the Manichean charade. If we renew, until they become a continuity, these moments of the knowledge of what we are not, we may find ourselves, all of a sudden, knowing who in fact we are.
Concentration, abstract thinking, spiritual exercises--systematic exclusions in the realm of thought. Asceticism and hedonism--systematic exclusions in the realms of sensation, feeling and action. But Good Being is in the knowledge of who in fact one is in relation to all experiences. So be aware--aware in every context, at all times and whatever, creditable or discreditable, pleasant or unpleasant, you may be doing or suffering. This is the only genuine yoga, the only spiritual exercise worth practicing.
The more a man knows about individual objects, the more he knows about God. Translating Spinoza's language into ours we can say: The more a man knows about himself in relation to every kind of experience, the greater his chance of suddenly, one fine morning, realizing who in fact he is--or rather Who (capital W0 in Fact (capital F) 'he" (between quotation marks) Is (capital I).
Faith is something very different from belief. Belief is the systematic taking of unanalyzed words much too seriously. Paul's words, Mohammed's words, Marx's words, Hitler's words--people take them too seriously, and what happens? What happens is the senseless ambivalence of history--sadism versus duty, or (incomparably worse) sadism as duty; devotion counterbalanced by organized paranoia; sisters of charity selflessly tending the victims of their own church's inquisitors and crusaders. Faith, on the Contrary, can never be taken too seriously. For Faith is the empirically justified confidence in our capacity to know who in fact we are, to forget the belief intoxicated Manichee in Good Being. Give us this day our daily Faith, but deliver us, dear God, from belief.

BASALT, Colorado - Vail Dermatology has re-named its Roaring Fork Valley location Aspen Dermatology. The office is also moving to a new location, 261 Robinson Street, C100, in Basalt.
Karen Nern, M.D. founded Vail Dermatology in 2004, and expanded her practice to the Basalt area in 2010.
Vail Dermatology and Aspen Dermatology will become independent clinics as of Nov 1. Each practice will continue to offer appointments with Nern and fellow board certified dermatologist Clare Foss, M.D., as well as Sarah Youngblood, PA-C. Both clinics will provide dermatologic care including medical procedures such as diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer, psoriasis, acne, warts, hair conditions, moles, excema, rashes, as well as Mohs surgery. Cosmetic services offered include photofacials, dermal needling, fractional resurfacing, CoolSculpting, chemical peels, and more.
"The local support of our clinic has been overwhelming; we cannot express enough gratitude to the Roaring Fork community. We look forward to many years of continued excellence within the mountain region," Nern said.
"There will be a number of similarities between the two practices; the wide open spaces, waiting rooms with beautiful windows looking out on the mountains of Colorado, the warm welcoming staff, and the newest equipment and technologies. However, Aspen Dermatology will have larger examination and treatment rooms, a greatly expanded skin shop for patients' prescription and non-prescription skin care needs. There is also one fun new item for the cosmetic patient who wants to keep a low profile - our new 'secret door'," said Tom Nern of Vail Dermatology. "We have become more local in our services, and feel that the name of our practice should reflect the changes. Patients will no longer need to drive to Vail for any services we offer."

STOCKTON — A man was shot by police after he fired a shotgun at officers responding to reports of a disturbance Sat�urday night in a north Stockton neighborhood, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 9 p.m. in the 500 block of Cimarron Avenue, just north of West Ham�mer Lane. Police were called to the area on reports of a distur�bance involving a man with a shotgun, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Po�lice Department.
"When officers arrived, the suspect ran into an open ga�rage," Silva said. "As our officers approached the open garage, the suspect opened fire on our officers, and at least one officer returned fire."
The man was taken to the hos�pital with non-life-threatening injuries, Silva said. The names of the man who was shot and the of�ficers involved were not released Saturday night. No officers were hurt, and the Police Department has invoked a multiagency pro�tocol investigation to review the shooting, Silva said.
A neighbor who went outside to see what was happening when he noticed police said officers had already detained one man when the shooting occurred.
"They had already put one guy in a cop car," said the neigh�bor, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of his safety. "Then, all of a sudden, there were two gunshots, and then six or seven more."

How To Protect Public Cloud Using Solaris 11 Technologies
By Orgad Kimchi-Oracle on May 20, 2013
When we meet with our partners, we often ask them, " What are their main security challenges for public cloud infrastructure.? What worries them in this regard?"
This is what we've gathered from our partners regarding the security challenges:
1. Protect data at rest in transit and in use using encryption
2. Prevent denial of service attacks against their infrastructure
3. Segregate network traffic between different cloud users
4. Disable hostile code (e.g.' rootkit' attacks)
5. Minimize operating system attack surface
6. Secure data deletions once we have done with our project
7. Enable strong authorization and authentication for non secure protocols
Based on these guidelines, we began to design our Oracle Developer Cloud. Our vision was to leverage Solaris 11 technologies in order to meet those security requirements.
First - Our partners would like to encrypt everything from disk up the layers to the application without the performance overhead which is usually associated with this type of technology.
The SPARC T4 (and lately the SPARC T5) integrated cryptographic accelerator allow us to encrypt data using ZFS encryption capability.
We can encrypt all the network traffic using SSL from the client connection to the cloud main portal using the Secure Global Desktop (SGD) technology and also encrypt the network traffic between the application tier to the database tier. In addition to that we can protect our Database tables using Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE).
During our performance tests we saw that the performance impact was very low (less than 5%) when we enabled those encryption technologies.
The following example shows how we created an encrypted file system
# zfs create -o encryption=on rpool/zfs_file_system
Enter passphrase for 'rpool/zfs_file_system':
Enter again:
NOTE - In the above example, we used a passphrase that is interactively requested but we can use SSL or a key repository.
Second - How we can mitigate denial of service attacks?
The new Solaris 11 network virtualization technology allow us to apply virtualization technologies to our network by splitting the physical network card into multiple virtual network 'cards'. in addition, it provides the capability to setup flow which is sophisticated quality of service mechanism.
Flows allow us to limit the network bandwidth for a specific network port on specific network interface.
In the following example we limit the SSL traffic to 100Mb on the vnic0 network interface
# dladm create-vnic vnic0 –l net0
# flowadm add-flow -l vnic0 -a transport=TCP,local_port=443 https-flow
# flowadm set-flowprop -p maxbw=100M https-flow
During any (Denial of Service) DOS attack against this web server, we can minimize the impact on the rest of the infrastructure.
Third - How can we isolate network traffic between different tenants of the public cloud?
The new Solaris 11 network technology allow us to segregate the network traffic on multiple layers.
For example we can limit the network traffic based on the layer two using VLANs
# dladm create-vnic -l net0 -v 2 vnic1
Also we can be implement firewall rules for layer three separations using the Solaris 11 built-in firewall software.
For an example of Solaris 11 firewall see
In addition to the firewall software, Solaris 11 has built-in load balancer and routing software. In a cloud based environment it means that new functionality can be added promptly since we don't need an extra hardware in order to implement those extra functions.
Fourth - Rootkits have become a serious threat is allowing the insertion of hostile code using custom kernel modules.
The Solaris Zones technology prevents loading or unloading kernel modules (since local zones lack the sys_config privilege).
This way we can limit the attack surface and prevent this type of attack.
In the following example we can see that even the root user is unable to load custom kernel module inside a Solaris zone
# ppriv -De modload -p /tmp/systrace
modload[21174]: missing privilege "ALL" (euid = 0, syscall = 152) needed at modctl+0x52
Insufficient privileges to load a module
Fifth - the Solaris immutable zones technology allows us to minimize the operating system attack surface
For example: disable the ability to install new IPS packages and modify file systems like /etc
We can setup Solaris immutable zones using the zonecfg command.
# zonecfg -z secure-zone
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:secure-zone> create
create: Using system default template 'SYSdefault'
zonecfg:secure-zone> set zonepath=/zones/secure-zone
zonecfg:secure-zone> set file-mac-profile=fixed-configuration
zonecfg:secure-zone> commit
zonecfg:secure-zone> exit
# zoneadm -z secure-zone install
We can combine the ZFS encryption and immutable zones for more examples see:
Sixth - The main challenge of building secure BIG Data solution is the lack of built-in security mechanism for authorization and authentication.
The Integrated Solaris Kerberos allows us to enable strong authorization and authentication for non-secure by default distributed systems like Apache Hadoop.
The following example demonstrates how easy it is to install and setup Kerberos infrastructure on Solaris 11
# pkg install pkg://solaris/system/security/kerberos-5
# kdcmgr -a kws/admin -r EXAMPLE.COM create master
Finally - our partners want to assure that when the projects are finished and complete, all the data is erased without the ability to recover this data by looking at the disk blocks directly bypassing the file system layer.
ZFS assured delete feature allows us to implement this kind of secure deletion.
The following example shows how we can change the ZFS wrapping key to a random data (output of /dev/random) then we unmount the file system and finally destroy it.
# zfs key -c -o keysource=raw,file:///dev/random rpool/zfs_file_system
# zfs key -u rpool/zfs_file_system
# zfs destroy rpool/zfs_file_system
In this blog entry, I covered how we can leverage the SPARC T4/T5 and the Solaris 11 features in order to build secure cloud infrastructure. Those technologies allow us to build highly protected environments without the need to invest extra budget on special hardware. They also allow us to protect our data and network traffic from various threats.
If you would like to hear more about those technologies, please join us at the next IGT cloud meet-up

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Union senior linebacker Zach Eagler and senior offensive lineman Jonathan Shipley were named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America® College Division Football Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Eagler earned a spot on the first team while Shipley made the second team. Eagler and Shipley are the eighth and ninth Union student-athletes to make an Academic All-America® team, and this marks the first time Union placed two on the same team. Also, Shipley is the first repeat honoree as he made the second team in 2011.
A business administration major with a 3.71 G.P.A., Eagler made 73 tackles with two sacks and 4.5 tackles for lost yardage. The Florence, Ky., native also had two fumble recoveries. He recorded a season-high nine tackles three times. For his career, Eagler tallied 221 total tackles, 10 tackles for a loss and two sacks. In addition, he forced and recovered three fumbles, intercepted one pass and broke up three others. In 2010, Eagler returned a fumble 71 yards for a touchdown.
Eagler is the third student-athlete in Union history to make the Academic All-America® first team, joining Kevin Smith (Baseball - 2006) and Allison Fowler (Women's Basketball - 2007-08).
A health and physical education major with a 3.36 G.P.A., Shipley earned All-Mid-South Conference East First Team honors after anchoring an offensive line which paved the way for the Bulldog offense which averaged 338.2 yards per game. During the Tazewell, Tenn., native's career, Union has had two 1,000-yard rushers and posted two of the program's top scoring seasons, including a program-best 440 points in 2010.
Union posted a 4-7 overall record in 2012 and went 1-4 in MSC East play.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Oct. 22, 2010 – On Nov. 2, South Carolinians will have the opportunity to vote on an amendment to the state constitution that would make South Carolina the 12th state to protect hunting and fishing as constitutional rights.
"Ducks Unlimited supports passage of this amendment to the South Carolina constitution and we urge all citizens to vote in favor of it," DU CEO Dale Hall said. "We encourage all states to adopt similar changes to their constitutions so this important part of our nation's heritage can be protected forever."
The amendment to the state constitution will prevent anti-hunting and anti-fishing interests from shutting down those traditional activities. The amendment still requires proper licenses, regulations and other normal restrictions. Public and private property rights are not affected.
"On Nov. 2, South Carolina voters will have the opportunity to ensure that future generations will be able to hunt and fish the land and waters of this state by demanding that these fundamental rights be included in our state constitution," said John Frampton, director of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. "The financial contribution these sportsmen make to the restoration, conservation and protection of wildlife and wildlife habitats is huge, and that contribution benefits everyone. Not to mention the ethics and life lessons learned through these activities fosters a true appreciation of our great natural resources."
The 10 other states that have adopted the amendment to protect hunting and fishing are Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin. Arizona, Arkansas and Tennessee will also vote on similar measures in 2010.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Kids will love Tyrone's chocolate chip eyes, fruit chew antlers, and peanut butter goodness.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Place a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. Heat the candy melting wafers in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring often. Spoon into a resealable bag. Snip a very small corner and pipe antler shapes freehand on the wax paper. (Make two antlers per cupcake.) Let the candies dry until set, for about 5 minutes.
Tint one can of the vanilla frosting green. Spoon 1 cup of the green frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; set aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of the remaining frosting into a resealable bag; set aside. Tint the remaining frosting orange.
Trim 1/4 inch on one short side of the peanut butter cookie using a serrated knife. Place the cookies on a wire rack placed over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the orange frosting in a microwave-proof measuring cup for 5 seconds, or until it's the texture of slightly whipped cream. (Do not overheat!) Pour the frosting over the cookies to cover completely. Reheat the excess if necessary. Let the cookies dry for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting. Transfer the cookies to the center of each cupcake. Pipe several patches of "grass" with the frosting in the pastry bag with the star tip.
The trimmed end is the mouth side. Pipe dots of the vanilla frosting for the eyes and attach the mini chips, flat-side up. Add a small dot of vanilla frosting onto the chocolate chips. Cut each piece of fruit chew in half crosswise for the ears and attach at the top of his head. Peel the antlers from the wax paper and place them next to the ears. Pipe red hair at the top of the head. Pipe the nostrils, mouth, and eyebrows with the brown tube frosting. Continue with the remaining cupcakes and ingredients.

A car struck the front of Westco Home Furnishings around 10 a.m. Friday, as the result of a three-car crash on Neosho Boulevard.
Officer Johnny Humphries, with the Neosho Police Department, said a light blue Ford Crown Victoria was traveling southbound on Neosho Boulevard when it struck a dark blue Dodge Caravan. The car then deflected off the van, hit a white Pontiac Grand Prix, and then struck the front of the Westco Building on the south end.
Officers said there was one reported injury from the crash.
"We're still working on exactly what happened," Humphries said.
The car appeared to have shattered the glass in at least two of the store front window panes.
