and Transparency Subcommittee (STS) Teleconference*
Participants: Allan Eustis, Angela Orbaugh, Barbara Guttman, Bill Burr, David Flater, Helen Purcell, John Wack, Mat Masterson (EAC), Nelson Hastings, Patrick Gannon, Rene Peralta, Ron Rivest, Santosh Chokani, Sharon Laskowski, Steve Berger, Wendy Havens
Administrative Updates (Allan Eustis):
Review of Joint STS-HFP Teleconference
At the joint HFP/STS meeting, two topics were on the agenda: First, software independence and accessibility for the voter and second, software independence and its implications on the usability of audits. As an action item from discussion of the first topic, John Cugini is working on a paper outlining some methods to be discussed on 2/23. One key issue to keep in mind is the notion of SI and accessibility in understanding all the ramifications and complexities when reviewing voter verification. John Wack expressed concerns that the machines used for voter verification would not be the same for both sighted and unsighted voters. Discussion ensued on "separate but equal" access or more appropriately "sufficient" access. Discussion has not occurred regarding implementation details regarding usability. The significance of auditability to security needs to be stressed - a proposal to toss auditability was a non-starter. The next joint STS/HFP meeting is 2/23/07 at 11:00 a.m.
Update on Comments Received on Access Control and System Event Logging Sections
All comments that were received last week have been reviewed. Some changes have been made, such as the comments regarding improving requirements with the wording "shall be capable of" have been corrected. Subcommittee is currently reviewing comments about items that should be in other sections. Three specific questions were discussed:
Update on Modifications to Setup Validation Section
All changes discussed at the last STS conference call were made for the section on software identification and software verification. One of the changes was limiting the scope of software requirements to election management systems. Discussion ensued about the scope of set up requirements on networked devices. This had been brought up originally by David Wagner because of a concern with viruses. Nelson has extended the scope in the paper to include not only the verification but the identification part as well. Consensus was reached that identification needs to be universal. Discussion continued about which pieces needed strong verification. Election management systems. The requirement regarding Network Vote Capture Devices will be changed to Vote Capture Devices and written with a "should", with the recommendation that this will become a "shall". A note will be added in the Discussion section annotating this.
Nelson then clarified what had been deleted. Correct behavior of the verification software requirement, external port requirement, chain of custody requirement, robustness of the verification technique, and sourcing of the verification hardware and software from parties other than the vendor were removed. The digital signature-centric language was modified. Barbara asked for a clarification about the impacts of the changes. These changes are all related to the requirements on the verification technique that was used. It was generalized to say that a technique had to be used, but it did not get specific. A clarification was then asked regarding what requirements were written to make sure a technique was good. Nelson will send out an email clarifying - the requirement needs to be strong but flexible.
Exchange Standards for Election Data (David Flater)
This subject is being brought up because STS was interested in looking at possibility of representing cast vote records and possibly other things in a standard export format. CRT's testing requirements are more broad than what's needed by STS. EDX cannot be used because it is the intellectual property of Hart. The current version of EML has a lot of issues - too many for testing as required by CRT. They are currently working on a new version but not sure if that will be ready in time for VVSG 07. One issue that will not be resolved in the next iteration is the conceptual distinction between a vote tally and a ballot count. John Wack feels that we will not be able to point to a specific standard by draft time. EML V5 may not be out in time to be referenced. Ron Rivest suggested that we put a placeholder in that states "cast vote records will be in a plausible open format, meeting the following requirements, etc." with the understanding that it could be replaced when EML V5 or V6 come out. STS needs to specify a list of requirements to determine if the next iteration will meet its needs. A comment could be added about it being STS's hope that EML will be the language we use as a standard.
Meeting adjourned at 12:00.
Teleconferences from 2004, 2005, 2006 and upcoming in 2006.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
i.e 1 cent spent on google = 4 cents spent on overture
i.e google is better value for money?
How does one classify the users of search engines i.e 25% chance google will buy something 10% chance overture buyers will buy?
any help would be appreciated?
Such as Overture clickers are less internet savy and happy with any immediate result they find - and therefore convert better (ROI).
On the other hand Google offers much better customisation of your ad in that you can choose: language and country and can fool around with variations of your keyword(s).
You're probably best of stating the industry sector and country you are in (in general terms) to get some answers.

This Picture speaks for itself. We see it, but it's difficult to believe. Our Rights come from God, not from President Obama thank goodness. We know that President Obama is not operating alone. If we voted out Barry Soetoro as President then who would follow him? Any one of us, could do a better job as the President, for America, than this interloper in the whiltehouse.
Top 3 Steps to Save America – by The Cable Guy
This article is supposed to be funny. The Cable Guy says we need to focus on solutions. President Obama is not interested in finding illegal aliens, but they did find cattle with the Mad Cow Disease. People in many countries suffer under evil regimes. Since we're not using our Constitution maybe we could give them ours.
Barry Soetoro – Hillary Has the Goods on Obama
Hillary Clinton knows that Barry Soetoro was born in Kenya. Hillary was poised to release her own evidence until she made a quiet agreement with Obama for a cushy position in his cabinet. In Berlin this Float in the Parade conveys more truth than most Americans are willing to accept. I wonder if this picture will get you angry or it will cause you to laugh.
Liberty – Sovereignty – Self Determination Begins With Me
Sheena the Leopard isn't very happy that this mouse is eating away at her food. The leopard could easily eat the little mouse, but the leopard respects the mouse and nibbles at the brave, little mouse and yet there is enough food there for the both of them. Hey, you World Banksters take a look and realize that we Can All Get Along.
World Peace – Does It Look Like This? – Deer Visits Kitty
If we played some psycho babble for a moment, consider which of these animals would be you? Are you the family cat? Are you the deer? Are you the hunter who is quietly waiting at the edge of the proprty to shoot and kill? What are these pictures an example of? Could we ever live like this, between nations and between religions and between races?
Honesty – Out of the Mouths of Babes – From My Wife
Barry Soetoro – BP Engineers Discover New Oil Spill Remedy
How thick is the skin of Michelle Obama? By now President Obama and his wife must be realizing that Americans are very angry over the Explosion, the Oil Spill and the lack of Action by the Whitehouse and BP in the Gulf of Mexico. If Obama did grow a fro I wonder if it could soak up the oil in the Gulf.
Barry Soetoro – Not a Christian Nation Huh? Have you read our preambles lately?
Funny Photo – Barry Soetoro – Shredding the U S A Constitution – Tragic Photo
Funny Photo – Disneyland – Freedom of Speech – Pornography?
Disneyland officials claim that this mother and daughter are banned for life. How did they get onto the Disneyland grounds in the first place. Does this offend you? Is this pornography? Is this freedom of speech or freedom of expression? You could either laugh or get angry at this photo in Disneyland.

Remember the dreaded fiscal cliff the U.S. economy was supposed to tumble off way back in January if Congress didn't approve a federal budget?
Automatic, mandatory budget cuts would be so onerous no lawmaker in his right mind would dare risk imposing so-called sequestration. Congress feared this so desperately it voted to give itself another few months, until March 1, to come up with a prudent course of action.
Meanwhile, warnings grew more urgent - the stock market would crash, banks would collapse, unemployment would soar and government offices would shut down. Certainly our elected representatives would not let that happen.
Then, a curious situation developed: None of the dire predictions came true.
And like the hapless villagers in the tale about the little boy who cried wolf, the public - and government officials - stopped worrying about the consequences of failing to heed warnings.
Well, now the chickens are starting to come home to roost.
Across the country and here in southeastern Connecticut, federal support for a variety of programs is drying up, workers are facing furloughs and people at last seem to be getting the message.
Last week U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, met with about 100 Department of Defense civilian employees at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton who are facing shorter hours and smaller paychecks because of the federal sequestration.
Among them was Adam Puccino, a mason at the base, who now plans to get food for his family at the United Way food bank.
"A 5 percent pay cut, I could probably live through it. Ten, I'd struggle. But 20, now I'm not within my means," Puccino said. "What I pride myself on, I can't do. I can't take care of my wife and kids with a 20-percent pay cut."
Rep. Courtney said while it is still possible to delay or mitigate some of the imposed reductions, the best solution is for Congress to finally agree on a budget that reduces the deficit.
We agree. Enough dilly-dallying. Get to work, Congress - and that includes you, Rep. Courtney.
The sequestration also means the Historic Ship Nautilus and Submarine Force Library and Museum will be closed on Mondays.
The smaller paychecks and fewer tourists will affect merchants in Groton and throughout the region.
Elsewhere, federal budget cuts to the agency that runs Head Start preschool programs throughout New London County have eliminated a home-based education program for children who needed extra help.
Deborah Monahan, executive director of the Thames Valley Council for Community Action, which runs the Head Start program, said last week that sequestration cost the program $190,000. As a result, TVCCA eliminated the home-based program in which staff members visited 60 families of children aged 3 to 5 years old identified as needing direct one-on-one educational support before they entered a traditional classroom, Day Staff Writer Claire Bessette reported.
The program served children with special needs, developmental difficulties or socialization issues. Their families received additional support with issues ranging from education, job assistance and health insurance to service referrals.
Rep. Courtney said the loss of Head Start funds to the region will have long-term effects. We agree. Get to work.
Meanwhile, across the country there were fewer patriotic displays and fireworks shows at military bases on July 4 because of sequestration's $85 billion in across-the-board spending reductions.
While some bases canceled shows, others managed to keep them going with donations from the public and local businesses.
These are the choices many of us must make now.
While it may be enjoyable to watch a military jet fly over to help celebrate our nation's independence, most would agree it's better to spend the money on education and other such programs.
Congress, get back to Washington. Pass the budget, agree on deficit reduction.
Otherwise it will be a longer and hotter summer.

This is a repost from the SHORTS ON THE LINE series.
Hi everyone! I'm Becky and I like to sew. I blog at Owly Baby and sell children's sewing patterns at Owly Baby.com.
Hi everyone! I'm Becky and I like to sew. I blog at Owly Baby and sell children's sewing patterns at Owly Baby.com.
I'm so excited to be a part of the Shorts on the Line series that I've made 3 pairs of shorts in one week! This doubles the amount of shorts in my wardrobe. A bit of selfish sewing makes me feel pampered!
In order from left to right -
The SWEET SCALLOP SHORTS from Pattern Runway on Etsy (for sale HERE).
My very wearable (4 days in a row!) turquoise tester/muslin cuffed shorts. (self drafted pattern)
My super stylish leopard cuffed shorts. (self drafted pattern, FREE pattern link below)
SWEET SCALLOP SHORTS (pattern: Pattern Runway)
The fit was great on the Sweet Scallop shorts from Pattern Runway. The instructions were very clear and included tips on fitting and choosing the right size. The cutting and sewing diagrams were very helpful and I learned how to sew a single welt pocket. These shorts would be great for a motivated beginner or intermediate sewer.
I didn't think the welt pockets would go well with the casual look I was going for, so I did make a few adjustments. I didn't apply any pockets to the backside, I shortened the overall length 1" and added the scallop shape to the back of the shorts. I redrafted the back hem facing and added a drawstring waist instead of a side seam invisible zip.
|scallops hem on back
I love the scallop shape at the hem and even though they are drawstring shorts (and feel like jammies), they still feel nice enough to wear out for errands and playdates. I do have to wiggle a little to get them over my hips, and in hindsight I should have added .25" on each side seam because I did remove the side zipper, but it hasn't overly strained any of the seamlines yet.
|The fabric is a Lisette Twill from JoAnn's.
CUFFED SHORTS - FREE PATTERN from Owly Baby
Now, on to the turquoise testers and fancy leopard shorts. Lucky readers, you also get to join in the sewing shorts fun. I'm sharing my pattern with you for FREE! It will fit anyone who wears a Ready-to-Wear size 4 (store sizing). For reference, it should fit a 29" waist, 37" hip. It is a self drafted pattern that is not entirely perfect - I've only used twice, but I have been wearing my shorts non-stop! They fit great on me, so if you're around the same size - I hope they will work for you.
|First zipper and belt loops!
|The center back seam has been modified - shallower curve. The back legs will also "hug"
closer to legs than shown in this muslin.
I've also written up some instructions for you to follow that include helpful links on how to sew single and double welt pockets, AND how to sew a fly zipper. This was my first time sewing using a fly front zipper AND a welt pocket (and belt loops!). If I can do it, you can too! Click below for the FREE PATTERN and instructions.
FREE Cuffed Shorts Pattern Pieces (Size 4 RTW)
This pattern is for personal use only.

This leopard fabric has definite stretch, refuses to be ironed and snags easily.
It was horrible to work with but it feels wonderful to wear!
In short (pun intended): I've been wearing my three new pairs of shorts non-stop! They were totally worth the effort and I loved learning how to put in the fly zipper. I am now putting in fly zippers in EVERYTHING!
I hope you're inspired to join the Shorts on the Line Sewalong and win some fabulous prizes!
Happy sewing and shorts-wearing!

Lyndsay Jardin of Acushnet recently competed in the Nationals' 2009 Miss Jr. Pre-Teen Providence pageant competition on Aug. 22. Lyndsay submitted an application and took part in an interview session conducted by Patty Neidert, this year's Providence pageant coordinator, and was selected among hundreds of entrants.
Lyndsay competed for her share of thousands of dollars in prizes and specialty gifts. She competed in the Miss Jr. Pre-Teen division, one of four divisions that had young ladies between the ages of 7 and 19 competing in modeling routines, which included casual wear and formal wear. Lyndsay displayed her personality and interviewing skills with this year's Providence judging panel. Personality was the No. 1 aspect that each contestant was judged on during all phases of the competition.
Lyndsay placed third runner up in her age group, ages 7 to 9, out of 15 selected contestants. Although Lyndsay did not win, she received a trophy almost as big as she. Lyndsay says she is not disappointed but rather is looking forward to representing Massachusetts in future pageants.

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Jim: So basically what we do today. We already deport the criminals that we find, so basically he just flip flopped on his whole position. I don't expect him to really clarify it much on Wednesday as most of his campaign has been about keeping people in the dark. So the big question is if someone is in the country illegally, but hasn't broken any laws and decides not to go back to their country on their own, do they get deported or not? I've heard his flip flopping that they would leave the country so that they can come back, but is there a guarantee that they will be able to come back in within a week? If not, then basically you would still have millions just staying rather than taking the chance that they leave and can't come back.

How much of my time will it take to be a CASA?
Our CASAs report an average of 10-15 hours per month to fulfill their CASA duties. During certain periods of a case (i.e. - just prior to a court hearing) CASAs tend to put in more hours than during periods of monitoring the case.
What if I travel, go on vacation or have a conflict and cannot attend an important meeting or hearing?
Many of our CASAs travel frequently and are still able to manage a CASA case. You will usually have ample notice of court hearings and, although you have the most knowledge to share with the court, you can arrange for another CASA or staff to attend in your place if necessary.
Can I be a CASA if I have a full time job?
We have a number of CASAs who work full time in addition to their volunteer work. Many employers are able to provide flexibility to accommodate for court hearings and special meetings, and many appointments can be made in the evenings and on weekends. Check with your employer to determine if this is feasible.
Can I buy gifts or provide financial support for the child or family?
The CASA's role is to ensure that the necessary services are provided for the child and family, not to provide the service. Should there be a need that is not being met, we will assist you in an effort to locate the appropriate service. While it's okay to provide inexpensive gifts for a child's birthday or special occasion, this should be the exception rather than the norm.
Can I take the child to special events or invite the child or family to my home?
A CASA may never bring a child into their home or drive a child or their family anywhere. This is outside the CASA role and a violation of the Volunteer Policies and Guidelines.
Will I have help with my case? Who do I ask if I have questions?
When you are sworn in you will be assigned to a CASA Supervisor, who will work with you and provide case support. You will be required to speak with your supervisor at least once a month regarding your case, and your supervisor will be available to guide you and answer any questions you may have.
What if I have an emergency or question and the CASA office is closed?

East vs. West: The Great Creativity Divide
Countries like Japan and the Tiger economies have largely made their market reputations by making incremental quality improvements on existing technologies. Still, they seem to be facing a crisis of creative confidence. Japan's two-decade long economic slump has sparked debates over conformist classrooms techniques and hierarchical workplaces. At the same time, some Asians, including former Singapore prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, suggest that the Western form of creativity — a more freewheeling process that emphasizes groundbreaking solutions — leads to chaos and social problems.
Michael W. Morris, the Chavkin-Chang Professor of Leadership at Columbia and a Chazen Senior Scholar, set out to understand how Eastern and Western cultures view creativity. We asked him explain his findings and how the differences he uncovered might find their way into the workplace.
How do you define creativity?
Most researchers define it as a solution to a problem that is both novel and useful.
What difference do you see between how Eastern and Western cultures channel their creativity?
Western cultures tend to be individualistic. When Westerners approach problem solving, they attempt to make the solution unique and ground breaking. But social norms in East Asian cultures encourage harmony and not making waves. As a result, there's more attention to making a solution useful — easy to implement, easy for other people to accept and to understand.
There's a lot of evidence for these cultural differences. Countries like Japan have done very well by making incremental quality improvements on existing technologies. In the West, there's more emphasis on developing completely new technologies. Of course there are many exceptions.
How do these differences play out in the workforce?
Different cultures tend to design R&D with different outcomes in mind. Patents in Japan, for example, tend to come out of very focused projects. A pharmaceutical company will look for a drug that treats a cardiac condition. In the West, research is more exploratory. Researchers look for what might come out of a technology. So if a drug doesn't work on the cardiac condition, but treats something completely different, they patent it for the other condition.
Where do "bicultural" individuals fit on the creativity curve?
Researchers used to think that Asian Americans or residents of a Western-influenced city like Hong Kong had habits of mind and conduct that were halfway between the cultural syndromes of East Asia and those of the West. Instead, we are finding that individuals can switch back and forth as they move between different settings in the same way you can be a mother and a manager as you go from being with your kids to being at work.
We found that very integrated biculturals — those who have grown up with both cultures or immigrants who have been in the new country for a long time — tend to experience less conflict between their two identities and base their behavior on context. If they enter a room where people are speaking Chinese or go to a traditional sushi restaurant, their Asian side comes out. When they are in an American situation, they respond in a Western manner. The behavior happens automatically.
Then we started studying less-integrated biculturals, who are more recently arrived or for personality reasons experience more stress as they move between cultures. They reported a more divided self-concept and tended to respond in a contrarian manner to culturally laden situations. When they enter the room where people are speaking Chinese, they behave even more Western than they usually do, and if they come into a situation with strong Western expectations, their Asian side comes out. We think they resist fully engaging in either of their identities because that would entail abandoning their other side.
How can companies use your research?
Knowing that people have different expectations of creativity helps a company understand its customers. There may be less acceptance of hyper-novelty in some parts of the world, where customers may prefer an incremental evolution of products.
It also would help firms tap the global talent pool. Organizations hiring in different parts of the world can find different kinds of talent. If it's a quality-control issue, where a company wants to make an existing chip 20 percent more efficient, a company might find their scientists in Taiwan rise to this challenge, whereas their Silicon Valley people might be bored by that problem and more engaged by the problem of inventing a completely different kind of chip.
As far as hiring bicultural individuals, both chameleons and contrarians are useful to organizations. If you need somebody to be an ambassador, an integrated bicultural to mesh with the culture would be a good choice. If you need somebody in a monitoring or compliance or critical evaluation role, a contrarian bicultural would be an ideal person.

Czech Republic, 2012, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Avant Garde/Experimental, Biographical, Documentary, Family Issues
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: Czech English Sub-Titles
The Czech documentarian Helena Treštíková says she is committed to using her inventive time-lapse shooting method ("time collection," she calls it) "to make a link between the past and the present … as a tool to interlink the private and public aspects of life." In Private Universe, she covers 37 years in the lives of the Kettner family—from the moment in 1974 when working-class Prague parents have a son named Honza, through the boy's youth, his tumultuous teenage years (John Lennon, pot, rebellion), and on into his emigration to Spain, where he worked as a dishwasher. We also get the wider social picture: when Honza is 15, Stalinist socialism collapses in Czechoslovakia; when he's 30, the Czech Republic joins the European Union. Thus do private and public events collide.
Working with her camera and 30 notebooks filled with Kettner family recollections, Treštíková here continues a long and productive career—40 years, 40-plus films, short and long—that has spanned all the postwar political upheavals in the life of her homeland.
She faced trials, too. "There was a certain period of time when Honza disappeared somewhere abroad," she recalls, "and I was not sure whether we would be able to finish the project." But the young man materialized, and the work went on. At a private family screening of the finished film, Treštíková tells us, the Kettners laughed all the way through. In a postscript, we learn that Honza has managed to graduate from a jewelry design school and has firm career plans.

YES, you can build a successful business when
the odds are stacked against you. When you
have zero support and even no cash. My business nearly went bankrupt during a bad marriage but I brought it back to the top while dealing with divorce, a toddler, and chaos.
In 2009 I had $20 in the bank and a twitter account. Build your worth and
GET INSPIRED with this free download of how I did it (and you can too).
Even if you're already in business, you need to create (and maintain) a solid business plan. Why you do want to start this business? What kinds of things are super important to you? How much money do you need to make? Who are your clients?
Without a map, how are you ever going to get to where you want to be?
This newly updated eKit also contains the Lean Canvas version of a business plan. This is da-bomb.
It's a one page business plan that I find is not only a lot easier to put together, but also more USEFUL to you in your business. It can help you determine your specific niche and your business model. It's killer.
By the end of today, you'll know the secrets behind knowing more about your buyer than they know about themselves.
Do you wish there was a secret system to figuring out exactly who your customer is so your products and services just sell themselves and fly off the shelves? NOW there is!
You'll learn the exact things you need to do, think, and say – and the best part is that ANYONE can do this no matter what level your business is in .. even if you've been in business for years.
I've seen so many entrepreneurs struggle with their business simply because they don't know how to talk to their customers. It's one of the biggest reasons that businesses fail! The good news is that when you know who your right Target Market is, everything else becomes a piece of cake.
Do you wish you had a list of simple, easy and inexpensive things that you could do to keep you and your family healthy and happy?
My Essential Oils and Holistic Practices 101 ecourse isn't full of ways of thinking yourself to be more free. It's simple, actionable items that I've put to use in my own life that has helped me:
- lose 25 pounds in less than a year
- lessened the number of colds me and my son had in a year
- freshened my house and saved me a ton of laundry costs
- incorporate meditation and energy work into my life without making all my friends think I've gone off the deep end
- helped my kitty during his round of antibiotics for a severe eye infection
Inside this 100% free course, you're going to find some tips and thoughts on what's worked for me. Apply them if you feel like giving it a whirl. Or adapt them to something that makes more sense to you. The only thing I care about is that you actually DO something.
You have absolutely nothing to lose here and a whole lot to gain!
Dawn came highly recommended + she was already familiar with my business. When I looked at her website and offerings, I was confident that she was up to the challenge. I love working with her! I feel completely at ease knowing that she is supporting me, my students + my biz. She fits in just perfectly, is totally professional + even comes up with great ideas to improve efficiency or flow that I didn't even know about. She is essentially my right hand + my left brain! I am so grateful to have her on our team.

I really want to thank you guys for doing double duty of ht beat writer and keeping this blog up to the min accurate. I also really the appreciate the links to other news/local papers articles regarding our team. It also makes me appreciate your writing…..anyways this local Hoosier says keep up the good work. We appreciate it.
The Tubby Smith/Minnesota article is interesting. Notes that the new'ish AD was the one who hired Shaka Smith at VCU. If a decent NCAA tourney run occurs it may be time to talk to Shaka again. That would add a new wrinkle to the B1G.
…..if a decent NCAA blah, blah….does NOT occur….
I think Shaka Smith has already turned down jobs that would have been better opportunities than the MN job. It would be tough to get him to go to MN when he's got all sorts of options with schools that have better locations, better facilities, and a better upside. Plus, unless Tubby is ready to retire (how old is Tubby?), I think he's secure in that job. MN's BB arena is a joke, and until they build a new one, they'll be lucky to keep Tubby Smith.
My guess is that Shaka Smith will eventually wind up coaching at an ACC school that wants to challenge Duke, UNC, NCS, etc. That's where the money and facilities will be and he's already well known in that part of the country. But of course, I could be wrong.

Milestone as phase II for community owned store in WIllmar, Minn., moves ahead
WILLMAR -- Organizers for a Community Owned Grocery reached a membership milestone that has launched the project into the phase II planning stage.
After a year in the works it was announced Saturday that 300 people had purchased membership stock in the food cooperative, known as COG.
"We've re-ached our goal. We've reached our 300-member mark," said Mary Catherwood, vice-president of the board of directors.
Catherwood and other board members made the announcement Saturday during the Celebrate Art! Celebrate Coffee! festival.
"It's a wonderful moment when we're ready to call an end to stage one and begin stage two," said Catherwood in an earlier interview.
Getting 300 people to invest $200 in the COG was set as the benchmark goal for advancing to the next stage of getting a community-owned, full-service grocery up and running in downtown Willmar.
Stage two includes "launching a new image for the COG," that includes hiring a part-time out-reach coordinator and allowing the site selection committee to actively search for a potential downtown building that has between 7,000 and 10,000 square feet of space with off-street parking.
The site committee is "selected and ready to move," said Catherwood. Their first meeting is scheduled for tonight when they will meet with Bill Gessner, a consultant from Cooperative Development Specialists in Minneapolis. Gessner is nationally recognized for organizing food cooperatives.
The second phase also includes an aggressive campaign to increase membership to 450 people.
Catherwood said the broad base of community support for the COG is reflected in the hometowns of the 300 founding members that come from 18 different zip codes. A majority are from Willmar, with very strong support from Atwater, New London and Spicer residents, she said.
The members cover a "whole spectrum" of demographics including "young families who are concerned about the food their children eat to grandparents who are concerned about the food their grandchildren eat. I think that's a lot of motivation for people," Catherwood said.
The coop will be owned "by your friends and neighbors and you," she said. "We see it as a community hub -- a gathering place."
The COG will feature a deli, coffee shop and local produce "as much as it is available" and will work with local growers to develop means to supply the store with locally grown food, Catherwood said.
Because the COG will be a full-service grocery store where every item on the grocery list can be purchased, Catherwood said not every product, like bananas, will come from Minnesota. The board intends to utilize a food transportation network that metro food coops use.
Next month a community forum will be held featuring two Minnesota coops that will provide information about how a full-service food coop operates and provide a glimpse of what organizers want the Willmar COG to look like.
Catherwood said when phase II is reached, the next stage is "hammer and nails" and opening up the store for customers.
No firm timeline has been set for the co-op to open.
