MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Just 24 hours after a performance in Houston that may have raised some serious doubts about the Warriors, they bounced back to erase one of the ugliest warts on their recent historical ledger.
In fact, the Warriors fairly well crushed it with a 108-82 victory Saturday night over the heretofore nemesis Memphis Grizzlies. They may have crushed some of the recently accumulating doubts as well.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and David Lee combined for 75 points as Golden State pretty much had its way with the Grizzlies at FedExForum, never once trailing. Now there's a rare development if there ever was one.
The victory ended the nasty 11-game losing streak against Memphis, albeit with a bit of an asterisk -- the hosts were without their star center, Marc Gasol.
Then again, having not won at FedEx since 2008, the Warriors weren't about to diminish the significance of it, particularly after the Houston horror to open the trip Friday night.
"I thought we showed who we truly are," said coach Mark Jackson. "We've been upset with the way we've played, and we came in here against a team we've not had much success -- or any success at all against -- and got a quality win."
After their embarrassing effort against the Rockets, the Warriors came out like Rocky Balboa in the first quarter, obviously chippy and bent on atoning. Thompson, who was 2 for 10 with five points in Houston, nailed his first four shots and finished with 30 on 12-of-19 shooting.
Lee, who has been in an even longer offensive funk of late, also got it going during the first quarter as the Warriors shot 59 percent, dominated the boards and took a 29-19 lead.
"I felt a lot better," said Lee, who scored 23 points with 11 rebounds and outperformed his own nemesis, Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph. "I just tried to be more aggressive. If I can get in there and get quality shots, it's going to open up the guards in the second half, and that's exactly what happened."
But the biggest hero was probably Curry, who didn't have the greatest shooting night (7 for 16) even though he wound up with 22 points. But he played the first 45 minutes of the game before being subbed out, matched his career high with 15 assists and had six rebounds.
Curry knew the stakes after what happened in Houston the night before.
"We have to be a resilient team," he said. "We are not going to play perfectly all year long. We just have to respond, and I think we did a great job tonight. We had to set the tone. It is important to do that on the road."
Curry made only two 3-pointers, but they were momentous on two fronts. After the Grizzlies had whittled a 16-point deficit to six at halftime, he buried back-to-back shots from beyond the arc on consecutive possessions. The two buckets bumped the lead back to 10, and the Warriors just kept expanding on that advantage from there.
As a bonus, his second bomb made him the Warriors' all-time 3-point leader with 701, passing Jason Richardson.
"To pass Jason, it's a cool feeling," Curry said. "I'm a proud Warrior, it's the only team I've played for, so to have some kind of record is pretty cool. Hopefully, more to come."
But for all the statistical numbers, it was nearly going the distance that may have been the most impressive.
"That's what the best players do," Jackson said. "They will themselves and their group to big-time wins. When it came time, he established a rhythm offensively. Overall, his game tonight was a thing of beauty."
And even though the Warriors beat a battered Memphis team, the milestone of beating the Grizzlies anywhere under any circumstances was a beautiful breakthrough to them.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't (mean anything)," Jackson said. "They've had their way with us. It's been a long time coming. For these new guys here, they don't know the history. People talk about the San Antonio streak and all of that, but that's not our history. This is the one streak that is ours and we own it. It's very refreshing and it means a lot to come in and get a win."
"We took care of the ball, we shared the ball, and then we got rebounds, played solid defense and stuck to our principles," said Lee.
Jackson added: "David Lee was back to the old David Lee. We need that guy, and he was awesome tonight."

"Too white, too right and too uptight," says a veteran political consultant. "That's why the Republican Party can't come back in California."
Strategist David Townsend is a Democrat, so that's the sort of comment you would expect from the likes of him.
But there were top Republicans at the party's state convention in Sacramento over the weekend making similar observations, in softer tones and absent the negativity. They realize that to survive, the California GOP must broaden its ethnic and ideological bases and be less rigid on social issues.
Karl Rove, former President George W. Bush's chief strategist, told a luncheon of about 500 delegates Saturday that the GOP needs to reflect the diversity of America. "If we do, we'll succeed."
U.S. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, California's highest-ranking Republican, told the Sacramento Press Club on Friday that the party "should embrace a little bit of libertarianism."
It's hard to argue with the numbers.
The Republican Party in this state is 82 percent white, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. That compares with 56 percent white for both Democrats and independents. This matters because white views on key issues sometimes are rejected by the rest of the electorate in this ethnically diverse state.
For example, the Field Poll found last week that only 41 percent of whites favor granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. But enough Latinos, blacks and Asian Americans favor it so that, overall, 52 percent of California voters support the idea.
Among Republicans, according to the policy institute, 72 percent call themselves conservative. But only 17 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of independents do.
This pushes the GOP far to the right of the rest of California in its opposition to gun control, same-sex marriage, legalizing marijuana and taking action against global warming, the Field Poll reports.
"We've got to figure out our highest priorities -- such as the economy and jobs, public safety, efficient government, quality education -- and focus on those," state Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff of Diamond Bar told me. "Talking about other things turns people off.
"If people have other issues they want to talk about, they can go off and do it. But that can't be the party."
Huff has a team of political staffers trying to reach out to Latino, Asian and black communities -- a fine idea that works only if it's accompanied by new GOP messages.
"I don't think the Republican Party has a very good message" for Latinos, said freshman GOP Assemblyman Rocky Chavez of Oceanside.
When Latinos hear Republican politicians demand that the government "secure the border," Chavez continued, "right there, you just cut off the conversation. Why invite me to dinner but let only half my family in?"
End-result numbers for the California Republican Party can be seen in the rosters of elected officials: Democrats hold every statewide office, control the Legislature and dominate the congressional delegation. The GOP lost seven legislative and four congressional seats in November.
Trend lines for the California GOP are in free-fall. For example:
Women are the Democratic Party's core strength, representing 57 percent of its registered voters. They voted overwhelmingly for Gov. Jerry Brown's tax increase, Proposition 30.
Moreover, Latino Democrats have been turning out at a higher rate than Latino Republicans or independents.
Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political Data, which churns out numbers and sells them to candidates, describes the GOP as "healthy" among voters over 40. But under-40 voters "are very unlikely to be Republican," he adds.
The white GOP core is aging, Mitchell notes, significantly reducing the party's share of the California electorate. "Republican voters are going out the back door," he says. "And coming in the front door are Latinos and youth -- voters who are much more Democrat."
The business community, always focused on the bottom line, increasingly sees moderate Democrats as the best investment for campaign dollars. The GOP just hasn't been producing.
"We're going to be redoubling our effort to help elect Democrats who understand business," says Rob Lapsley, president of the Business Roundtable.
But politics is cyclical, right? Up one election, down the next.
Maybe not anymore in California. Not unless the GOP can become less white, less right, less uptight and younger.

In 1969 three female figures by Allen Jones each slightly larger than life size, 'Hatstand', 'Table' and 'Chair', were cast in fibreglass in editions of 6 by Gems Wax Models Ltd of Notting Hill, London, a firm of commercial sculptors who made (and make) shop window mannequins and sculptures for waxworks. Stylistically the figures are similar to those in Jones's paintings of c.1967–8. For the figures Jones made working drawings from memory, not in front of a model. From these drawings a professional sculptor, Dick Beech of Gems Wax Models, produced clay figures under Jones's direction; these clay figures were modified in accordance with his intentions. He wanted to make sculpture 'without fine art marks, devoid of fine art clothing'. When the first, 'Hatstand', a standing figure, was finished he realized that it might be construed as a bizarre window mannequin and so he decided to process the figure so that it would not appear to be just a decorative object. This he did by giving the other two sculptures a more obvious function, that of being a table and a chair, so that the viewer's expectation of what could be fine art would be questioned and allow the viewer to perceive the figure anew as a subject in art.
In Jones's view 'because these 3 sculptures of women are recognisably representational it is less obvious that the sculpture is not about being naturalistic. They are not so much about representing woman but the experience of woman, not an illusion'.
With reference to his work in general Jones considers (slightly modified statement quoted by Livingstone, op.cit.) that:
' The erotic impulse transcends cerebral barriers and demands a direct emotional response. Confronted with an abstract statement people readily defer to an expert; but confronted with an erotic statement everyone is an expert. It seems to me a democratic idea that art should be accessible to everyone on some level, and eroticism in one such level'.
Jones considers that the three sculptures 'Hatstand', 'Table' and 'Chair' are the most radical statements that he has made. According to Sotheby's sale catalogue the Tate cast is number 6.

White House Ups Pressure for Senate Approval of Consumer Bureau Chief
The White House continued to press Wednesday for a resistant Senate to confirm President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, insisting that a media blitz and pressure on Republicans might change some minds.
"We're doing to it because we still believe there is a chance and there is a hope," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. "Politics is a wondrous thing and sometimes opinions change."
And he made clear that Democrats will try to extract a political price for Republicans' opposition to the nomination of Richard Cordray, who had been Ohio's attorney general. Senators who vote no, he said, "will then have to explain to their constituents why they did not support common sense reforms."
Republicans have been calling for changes to the consumer bureau's structure and accountability, and have vowed not to confirm a director until the changes have been made. The bureau, a main element of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law, officially opened over the summer.
The White House was also bringing a bipartisan group of attorneys general before reporters on Wednesday to make the case for Mr. Cordray. In Cleveland, officials with the new bureau announced a new model credit card agreement aimed at making prices, risks and terms easier for consumers to understand.
And a top Treasury officials told reporters at the White House that without a director, the bureau cannot supervise "nonbank" firms that offer payday loans, student loans and check-cashing services. Absent that authority, the agency is hamstrung in its ability to protect millions of consumers, said Neal Wolin, deputy Treasury secretary. He said this sector has been responsible for some of the most "harmful, deceptive, unfair" practices discovered.
Republicans are betting that voters are not particularly worked up about whether a new director is confirmed. It is widely assumed that the vote to confirm Mr. Cordray will fail on Thursday, as Democrats do not have the 60 votes needed to break a Republican filibuster.
But the push for confirmation, which the White House has been building all week, fits neatly with a broad theme outlined by Mr. Obama a day earlier—that GOP policies are holding back the middle class. In his speech, Mr. Obama noted that nobody says Mr. Cordray, the former Ohio attorney general, is not qualified. Republicans say they will not confirm anyone to the post until changes are made in the structure of the bureau.
Mr. Obama put it this way. "Republicans in the Senate refuse to confirm him for the job; they refuse to let him do his job. Why? Does anybody here think that the problem that led to our financial crisis was too much oversight of mortgage lenders or debt collectors? Of course not. Every day we go without a consumer watchdog is another day when a student, or a senior citizen, or a member of our Armed Forces — because they are very vulnerable to some of this stuff — could be tricked into a loan that they can't afford — something that happens all the time."
The president went a step further, saying that he would veto any effort to "delay or defund or dismantle the new rules" put in place in 2010. Republicans hope they will have a new president in 2013 who will feel differently.

Welcome to the ASA accreditation web page. The ASA now offers two levels of accreditation: Accredited Professional Statistician (PStat®) and Graduate Statistician (GStat). GStat is an entry level of accreditation, preparatory for full PStat® accreditation.
To apply for either level accreditation, log in to ASA members only, and click on the PStat/GStat button to begin the process.
In order to do this, you must be an ASA member. However, if you are not a member, and just wish to see the elements of and the instructions for the full PStat® application form, click here.
Applying for GStat is easy and quick, and there is no charge to apply. Your application will consist of:
- Contact information
- A brief cover letter explaining your interest in applying for GStat status
- A résumé or CV (uploaded as a pdf)
- List of degrees earned and courses taken
- Demographic information (optional)
You will also be asked to check boxes indicating that you understand that you must abide by the ASA's Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice and that ASA membership is required to maintain accreditation.
Accreditation brings value both to members of the profession and to those who benefit from the work of professional statisticians.
Viewed from the profession, accreditation testifies that there is a body of knowledge known as Statistics, that accredited practitioners of Statistics must be well versed in that knowledge at an advanced level, and must have applied it competently and ethically through practice for several years. And as rapidly as the theory and practice of Statistics evolves, so must professional statisticians continually stay abreast of new developments in their areas of expertise.
One does not have to be accredited to have these qualities, of course, but accreditation is one witness to the wider world that statisticians are professionals, akin to architects, doctors, engineers and lawyers.
Why is this important?
Many issues that have an impact our daily lives, such as our health and safety, our work, our standard of living, and the policies of our governments are crucially influenced by Statistics - the collection, analysis, presentation and interpretation of quantitative data in the presence of uncertainty. Sound statistical practice informs sound decisions, leading to better policy and better outcomes. Incorrect or unethical use of Statistics can produce misleading results, poor advice and worse choices.
That is, the practice of Statistics is a job for skilled professionals. Accredited statisticians have been recognized by their peers as combining education, experience, competence, and commitment to ethics at a level that labels them as professionals. Accreditation provides a measure of assurance to employers, contractors and collaborators of statisticians, and a mark of accomplishment to society at large.
ASA accreditation is a voluntary credential offered to ASA members that provides peer recognition for all of the following:
- Having advanced statistical training and knowledge
- Having experience in applying statistical expertise competently
- Maintaining appropriate professional development
- Agreeing to abide by ethical standards of practice
- Being able to communicate effectively
The ASA's accreditation program is modeled after programs in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Accreditation is a portfolio-based rather than an examination-based credential, and is renewable every five years. Accreditation is also voluntary; applicants seek accreditation because they believe the credential is worthwhile to them, but it is not a requirement for practice.
Accreditation applicants will submit materials to be reviewed by members of the ASA Accreditation Committee, peers who will evaluate submissions based on the ASA's Guidelines for Accreditation. Those who meet these guidelines will be awarded the designation "accredited professional statistician."
There is a fee to apply for PStat® and an annual fee to maintain PStat® or GStat accreditation.
We invite all interested persons to read these guidelines and to provide comments, questions, and suggestions. While we will not be able to respond directly to all comments and questions, we will use them to shape future decisions and to prepare an FAQ on accreditation. Questions or comments can be sent to Joyce Narine (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Sorry but this item is currently out of stock.
Please check back very soon!
That's right, try some 'do-it-yourself' poppin' with Mini Pops' Organic home popping sorghum!
Mini Pops Popping Sorghum can be popped in all the same ways you can pop corn:
1) In a stovetop pot with some oil of your choice
2) In a stovetop pot without oil - Yup, that works! Just be careful of burning!
3) In a Hot-Air Popper/Blower (Make sure you run the popper to get it super hot before adding grains)
4) In the Microwave - Thats works too! Just place some grains in a paper bag and lay flat in the Microwave. You can add salt, seasoning, butter, Anything!
Just always obey the 'Popping Sorghum Rule of Thumb': The more sorghum you try to pop at a time, the less will pop! Sorghum grain likes its 'personal space' when popping. So make sure you don't pour too much into a small space at a time. You'll have a much higher popping yield if you pop smaller quanitities at a time. And unlike corn, the grains that don't pop (there will be some) don't break your teeth! They're crunchy and yummy!
So give it a try!
Posted by Unknown on 28th Sep 2015
Product is great, thanks for finding a market for it, hope other people are aware of it, people with corn allergies don't know what they are missing out

Well said. I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but it appears that I'm starting to see things from a different point of view. I have to study more on this as it looks very interesting. One thing I don't understand though is how everything is related together.
Posted by Sherri on 25th Dec 2012
We popped ours in a popcorn machine (with a wire on the bottom that stirs the sorghum and oil) for the best pop and taste. We love that there are no kernels to get in our teeth.
Posted by greatmom4girls on 24th Nov 2012
We are extremely excited to perfect how many we should pop at one time using our popcorn machine (not an airpopper) so that my daughter can eat without waste.
We are so EXTREMELY pleased on how good the Mini Pops taste! These really hit the spot! We've only salted them so far... so we will experiment on buttered, carmel covered, etc later.
I made this in our popcorn machine, the kind that heats in the bottom with a wire that churns the kernels around so they don't burn while they heat up. I did use oil and 1/4 cup of kernels. I found this was WAY TO MANY kernels to cook at one time. Only half of the kernels popped before some of the blooms started to slightly burn.
I am posting on facebook and pinterest so all my gluten free friends and family can learn about these little creations and enjoy them too! :)
Posted by Joe G. -- on 6th Nov 2012
This is my first order from Minipops. I was very pleased to see how much more pops than the competitor's sorghum. Had a small damage issue with one bag during shipping and customer service addressed the issue right away. Very happy with our first experience. Thanks Minipops!
Posted by Jackie on 6th Oct 2012
I am gluten free and this is a great snack when everyone else if having popcorn. It tastes great, is easy to make and gluten free!! What more could one ask for?
Posted by Laura on 1st Oct 2012
First time trying this Sorghum popcorn. My husband can't eat regular popcorn because of the kernels, but he can eat this....yum! Very good, especially when popped in coconut oil : )
Posted by Mike on 16th Sep 2012
I used to get popped sorghum from a testing lab at one of the Land Grant University's Ag Products Labs and loved it. I have been meaning to try popping it myself for a number of years and finally did so. DELICIOUS! And pops just like regular popcorn.
I highly recommend it to all popcorn lovers as a special treat and you may never go back.
Posted by Ira on 28th Mar 2012
How Cool! I can't believe it how much pops! So Cute too! I Popped it in a pot on my stove top.

Can you start testing your patches? if you are touching the writeback

No. That code is complex enough with only one copy of it around. I don't
want two copies that differ subtly and hence have two different sets
of nasty, rarely hit corner cases in them.

Newark, Calif. April 15th 2010 - MacForensicsLab Inc. announces the immediate availability of the latest version of their powerful computer forensic suite, MacForensicLab 3.0. The new version brings many new features along with rock solid stability and big speed improvements.
The latest version of MacForensicsLab features redesigned core functions making it faster to zero in on suspect evidence with an easier and more intuitive interface. The industry standard in Macintosh-based forensics just got better. With over twenty new features, such as hashing and data carving throughout the application along with improved stability and speed, MacForensicsLab 3.0 is the must have tool for Mac forensics.
"MacForensicsLab 3.0 brings many new features to the software suite while building on many of the things it already does best." said Marko Kostyrko, CEO of MacForensicsLab Inc. "We're very happy with the evolution of this product and excited for where it's headed in the future."
Speed improvements make all tasks faster than ever. Some operations were benchmarked to run up to 12 times faster then the previous version. New 64-bit operation helps to maximize speed and take full advantage of newer Mac's Intel processor. MacForensicsLab has redesigned memory allocation algorithms to prevent system freezes due to memory leaks or inefficient memory distribution by the operating system. This ensures that MacForensicsLab is always running at its best.

In the next month or so, you'll probably see petitioners in public places trying to gather enough signatures to put initiatives on the ballot.
Among those initiatives may be one to repeal state control over the sale of hard liquor. If presented with the opportunity, we strongly recommend you add your name to that list.
A measure filed earlier this month by a group led by Snohomish politico Ron Dotzauer would end the government's involvement in liquor sales starting October 2011 and allow hard alcohol to be sold at grocery stores and convenience markets.
Liquor sales brought in $332.7 million to state coffers in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. But privatizing the liquor industry would make spirits more available and could drive up sales, in turn increasing the number of sales tax dollars brought in — not to mention the savings that could result from moving liquor store employees, their benefits and the overhead of maintaining a store off the state expenditure list.
Obviously, signing a petition doesn't mean that the measure would pass. But it's an idea that needs to be discussed — the state is in a budget crisis, and privatizing the liquor industry could be one way to bring up the bottom line.

Kipon plans electronic EOS to micro four thirds lens adapter
You can already buy mounts that will adapt your Canon lenses to mirrorless cameras such as Sony's NEX line, but you lose out on any electronic control in the process. Kipon, an accessory company famous for creating various mounts and adapters, has announced that it plans to sell a full electronic EOS to micro four thirds adapter. The timing is certainly interesting considering the Canon EOS-M was just announced this week, marking Canon's own entry into the mirrorless camera market.

Do the scientific claims on your cosmetics add up? This week's product was suggested by Shelagh Phillips, from Dorset.
They say "Soothes, protects and restores."
We say Aqueous cream is as basic as they come. Its main ingredient is paraffin wax (also a big component of even the most expensive face creams) and it is fragrance-free. It's especially good for sensitive skin or eczema, but can it tackle wrinkles? The cream acts as a tough moisture barrier, hydrating the skin's top layer and locking in water. This can reduce the appearance of fine lines, says Dr Tamara Griffiths, a dermatologist

Aloha Kakou (Hi Everyone)!
We are half way through the high season of surfing on O'ahu (the gathering place) and specifically the ultimate surfing Mecca: the North Shore. Professional surfers come from all over the world to compete in what is considered universally as the "ironman" of all surfing. Starting in late November and going through March, surfers seek to ride the North Shore's biggest wave. Imagine riding a 25ft, 40ft and 50ft wave at speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. It's exhilarating, fun….to watch AND a great activity while you enjoy the majesty of this island…AND IT'S FREE!!!
Over 2 million people a year come to the North Shore to watch the thousands of surfers who ride these gravity defying waves. It's a fun outing because it comes cheap, but the North Shore is a great destination itself with vacation rentals, shopping and restaurants popping up here and there with that authentic local feel.
About an hour drive from O'ahu's famous Waikiki, the North Shore is ideal for renting a condo to get that home away from home feel while on vacation. It is not as built up as some of its counter parts, but still offers that quintessential beach experience. Waimea Bay, Ehukai (Banzai Pipeline), and Sunset Beach are the most famous beaches. Seven miles of beach is a lot of real estate for the purpose of surfing and hanging out on the beach, but that's one of the best things about Oahu's northern coastal region. So next time you think of Hawaii for a winter-time getaway remember to check out those crazy waves and the equally as crazy people who come to ride them every year at O'ahu's North Shore. You will be not be disappointed!

Daredevil's show postponed
Promoter hopes timing is right for next summer
September 5, 2013
It looks like no one will be crossing the Ohio River by any method but boat or bridge this year. Ohio Outdoor Heaven Inc....
I hope in my post that I didn't indicate that Wei Sheng's venture is a delusion of self-importance because it isn't, although the fund-raising event may have been a little premature. I think it's a potentially good idea to build the adventure park. It just needs to be pulled together and organized to present to the public in a better light.

Forget Robbie Knievel, he's a drunk, and how who he stay sober enough to jump.if it goes next summer, keep the Wallenda man, he seems to be on the level. I hope that Outdoor heaven does work out , seems like it would be a plus in a town that needs the money. It does seem people want it too fail, which is sad.

His last visit to Marietta was last weekend. He was at a local club, and extremely intoxicated. He tried to pick my wife up, she said that his "handler" said Robbie is waiting outside for you. She told him that he could keep on waiting.

I'm guessing this could be due to the fact that he just got a DUI at the Sturgis rally out west. He rampaged through an RV park in his RV, hitting a couple RV's in the process. Yea, this event is never happening. Dude hasn't jumped in forever

Not surprised at all!
I give a huge amount of credit to Mr.Wei Sheng. Keep working on all the details for next summer. I happen to believe you bit off more than you could chew. Pyro permits, drink permits, two states, a motorcycle stunt, a tight rope stunt, a wobbly stick stunt, & everything else you were trying to stuff into this event set to roll in forty days... Yes, forty short days. So if delaying it for nine months gets that national coverage plus more bucks for your grand plan, then so be it!! My family will be waiting to witness history.
To the 'downers' in this valley, booooo on you. Get behind this guy & put our MOV on the map & in history books.
Think of Edison & all of his failures at his many inventions & patents when thinking of trying to assemble this event.. Mr.Wei Sheng has nothing to be ashamed of, & everything to look forward to in bringing this to fruition

It would be neat combined with the River Roar. Honestly, I just don't see the event ever happening. It was a nice thought...

6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Looking at it from a professional rescuer and rescue diver point of view....of course Robbie would make history....he'd be the first drowning victim from drunk driving a motorcycle into the Ohio River....Robbie himself said he drinks when he is doing his stunts...I can't imagine anyone in authority in their right mind would allow this stunt to happen knowing this. If he were sober I might have a different opinion....but all I see are the risks of a drunk, a motorcycle, a jump, and a lot of water...a bad combination.

Mr.Wei Sheng will always live in the shadow of his mother and that can't be easy. I know he wants to be important but he needs to slow down start out small and build up.

I did not see being able to put such a plan together in such a ahort time frame. Hope it works out for next year but a year is a long time anything can happen. Maybe it will maybe not just have to wait and see.

This is still a neat idea. I hope it still happens. Maybe in conjunction with Roar or some other downtown event. October in Marietta can be a jerk weather wise.

Finding balance: How high-powered women can have it all
16 Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
A few months ago, I got in trouble with some of my readers. In my Ramit's Brain Trust program, where I interview one of my mentors/advisors/confidants and share the video with the group every month.
When I asked who else they wanted me to interview, I started getting a bunch of notes from Brain Trust members asking why I hadn't interviewed any women yet.
They had a point. In fact, there are so many top-performing women in RBT, there's even a sub-group called "Women of RBT." (It's so private, even I'm not allowed in.)
It took me about 5 seconds to know who I wanted to interview. I definitely wanted to interview Pam Slim, whom I introduced a couple months ago. And Gretchen Rubin, whom I introduced in April.
And I knew I also had to bring Elizabeth Weil into studio. Not just because I was looking to fill a quota of women, but because she's one of the best examples of top performers that I know.
I've known Elizabeth Weil since 7th grade. And she's mastered the balance of high performance and creativity.
A little bit about her:
She's a partner at a top-tier venture-capital firm in Silicon Valley. Before that, she was an executive at Twitter
On the side, she runs Paperwheel, a letterpress (high-end stationery) company
Oh, btw, she's also an ultra-marathon runner
And she also has a family and stays in touch with her friends all the time.
HOW?? How does she do it all?
That's exactly what I wanted to ask her when I brought her into my studio for an hour-long interview. We talked about it all — the tradeoffs, where to cut corners, how to stay in touch when you're pulled in different directions by different people.
Truthfully, Elizabeth admitted that she doesn't have it all figured out. But she does have a few "tricks of the trade" she uses to stay on top of these demands…and ways to recharge when it becomes overwhelming.
SPECIAL NOTE: This interview will be especially interesting to the 100,000+ women in the IWT community, but it's not just for women. If you're curious about how top-performing women navigate the field of traditionally male-oriented industries and manage it all, we cover it in this interview.
Unfortunately, it's become politically incorrect to talk about the differences between men and women — even though we clearly think and act differently. So in this interview, you'll see Elizabeth and I try to unravel how to highlight our strengths and figure out the best way to live a rich life.
Does that mean making sure you're home at 7pm every night to eat dinner with your family?
Or setting an example for your boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse by putting your work away and spending quality time together?
Or maybe temporarily saying, "Work is the most important thing right now," and committing to being the best at your job?
What are the unique challenges that women have to think about…(that men don't)?
Crafting a balance between your career and personal life can be one of the most challenging parts of being a top performer, especially when everyone wants a piece of you.
How do you create an environment where you can succeed — and stay involved in the lives of the people you care about?
To answer this question, I invited Elizabeth Weil into my Brain Trust studio to ask her how she does it. This is a rare opportunity to see a top performer pull back the veil and talk candidly about work-life balance, careers, and the demands of being a top performer.
Here's a sneak peek:
In the full interview, you'll learn:
What to do when you feel "stuck" in your job and know you need to get out
How to attract healthy relationships with people who will bring the best out in you — both personally and professionally
The unique challenges that ambitious women have in male-dominated industries
A simple system to keep in touch with the people you care about (never let a relationship go "cold" again)
A simple way to say "no" to things that you don't want to do without feeling guilty
This interview is part of my Brain Trust program, where each month I unveil a new interview with my personal mentors, advisors, and confidants each month. Each month, you get access to these private interviews, plus a community of 1,000+ top IWT students. Find 1-on-1 accountability partners, meet other IWT readers in your city, and stop consuming information…and start taking action.
The Brain Trust program is closed right now. If you're interested in getting on the wait list and getting the full interview, add yourself here:

Lee Daniels on Why He Pushed His Actors in 'The Butler'
WEST HOLLYWOOD – Lee Daniels is the first to admit his own shortcomings. He didn't finish college, he's "not good" at holding the camera. He occasionally "goes too far" and pulls his actors, albeit reluctantly, into feeling their roles as much as acting them.
By putting his faults out in the open, Daniels, who directed "Lee Daniels' The Butler" told the Journal it levels the playing field between those in front and behind the camera.
"I know what I'm good at and what I'm not," said Daniels. He admits to telling Oprah Winfrey that her first take "sucked," calling it "fake," and wore pajamas onset in Louisiana everyday because, as Jane Fonda wrote on her blog, "He is brilliant, flamboyant, irascible, challenging, in other words, fascinating. Never wore anything but pajamas–nice ones, pressed, tasteful, but still. He said they're comfortable and appropriate as he's in the process of giving birth (the film)."
"To pull and to feel in a film, really feel, it takes pushing actors, really pushing them." said Daniels.
And although he was "glad" that Harvey Weinstein (along with 41 credited producers who ultimately financed the film) got his movie distributed, Daniels said that knew it would take time to get the performances he wanted –38 days in total not counting the time the production shutdown due to Hurricane Isaac.
"It didn't matter how good you thought you did, if Lee wanted it again, Lee got it again," Lenny Kravitz, who played White House butler James Holloway, told the Journal. That led to multiple takes stacked one after the other.
"The emotion, I have to feel it, it has to be strong," said Daniels, "stronger than anything else on set." To get that emotion, Daniels said that he had long conversations with each of his actors, sometimes in a group, occasionally alone, talking through each of the roles, both how they played as characters in the film and also historically.
Although the film first sounded and read like "a history lesson," Daniels said directing "The Butler," in addition to shedding more light on the African-American butlers in the White House, helped him connect his African-American identity with American history. "It made it personal," said Daniels.

OK, so maybe Lady Gaga's not picking up a racket anytime soon, but she's proof that you don't need to wield a powerful backhand to get in on the athleisure trend. Specifically, tennis whites have come a long way from the court, with pleats and tennis shoes turning up at your favorite shops, on the Fall runways and on Gaga—in the form of a brand-new Lacoste look.
"This is probably the most meaningful [trophy] I've ever won," Lindsey Vonn said today after capturing her 66th win this season—her seventh World Cup title, no less. Despite cementing her place in the sports world a few months ago when she became the most successful female athlete in Alpine skiing World Cup history, Vonn's not showing any signs of stopping, even after suffering crushing injuries.
"After being out for two years with two major knee operations was definitely hard. To come back this year to get the downhill title again and to have an amazing season means so much to me," Vonn told NBC Sports.
If you're looking for one move that will whip your lower body into shape, it's time to try gate swings. This deep inner-thigh stretch tones your glutes, quads, and both your outer and inner thighs, and it also gets your heart rate up! The cardio element comes from a little plyometric jump that helps you transition between the two positions of this move. The directions seem straightforward, but trust me, you'll feel the burn with this one.
It's a familiar pattern: you spend a night out splurging on indulgences only to roll into work the next morning with continual comfort-food cravings (chocolate cake, anyone?). Turns out, there may be a scientific explanation for the hankering that takes over your belly—and your brain. A recent study in BioEssays indicates that it might actually be the bacteria in your gut that's wreaking havoc on your snacking self-control, your digestive system and even your mood.
When some epic workout stylings meet the fitness song of the moment, the result is pure perfection. And while Team USA, these gymnasts and First Lady Michelle Obama all have gotten wild to Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk," it's a recently published YouTube video from actor and dancer Carson Dean that has us in a full-on groove.
Working out at home is a killer way to save time and money, not to mention avoid going outside when the weather is… well, you know, the way it is. And good news: Not only can you avoid delayed subways or traffic, you can get an effective workout in in less time than it takes to blow-dry your hair.
One of the biggest stories coming out of the 2015 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California is that the world's top-ranked player, Serena Williams, is making her triumphant return to the tournament, after boycotting it for over a decade. (Backstory there: Williams was booed when she won as a teen in 2001.) But there's a second major story happening: Heather Watson. This past Sunday, the young tennis pro knocked the eighth-ranked player in the world, Agnieszka Radwanska, out of the tournament—quite a feat for any 43rd-ranked female player.
After taking the last year (and the sports world) on by storm, Mo'Ne Davis is a force to be reckoned with. The teenage pitching phenom throws a 70 mph fastball, starred in a tear-jerking Superbowl commercial and landed the cover of Sports Illustrated. And throughout it all, Davis sported her red-and-blue Philadelphia Taney Dragons uniform—and is now using the color palette for a good cause. The teenager is launching a new line of M4D3 sneakers, of which 15 percent of its proceeds will be donated to underprivileged girls around the globe in connection with the Because I'm a Girl initiative.
Spring break and skimpy bikinis have become practically synonymous: the more skin you show, the better (and the more time on MTV you'll get?) However, model-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid proved the old adage wrong while relaxing at Victoria's Secret's Pink Spring Break bash in Miami over the weekend. Looking incredibly sexy, she sported a more-demure bralette top and high-waisted (belly-button covering!) bottom.
"I've always known exactly who I am. I was a girl trapped in a boy's body." Meet Jazz Jennings: at 13, the transgender teen is already a YouTube star and inspiration, and now she's the latest face of Clean & Clear's "See the Real Me" campaign.

The class comes with an emphasis on the defensive side of the ball and features nine mid-year players who are already enrolled at the University of Nevada and will go through spring drills with the team.
"This is a solid class," said Ault, the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. "Our recruiting priorities were on the defensive side, as well as tight ends, running backs and a freshman quarterback. I feel this class will create some quality competition as well as develop much needed depth.
"There is no question we lost some outstanding seniors off a championship team. Our challenge now is to redefine the role of each position and develop the individual skills necessary to meet the demands of our offensive and defensive schemes."
The class consists of 17 players coming from the high school ranks (six of whom have already enrolled at Nevada this semester), four junior college transfers and three sophomore transfers with three years of eligibility remaining. Fourteen of the players are on the defensive side of the ball with nine offensive players and one player classified as an athlete.
The lone quarterback of the class is Tanner Roderick, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound product from Bozeman, Mont. Roderick was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Montana and is also an all-state basketball player. He threw for 2,500 yards and 28 touchdowns while running for more than 1,900 yards and 23 touchdowns during his senior season.
Nevada's two running backs are Kendall Brock (5-9, 193 pounds) from Fresno, Calif., and Anthony Knight (6-1, 225) from Groton, Mass. Brock was the Fresno Bee Player of the Year and was widely considered to be the player of the year in the San Joaquin Valley after running for 2,400 yards and 40 touchdowns. Knight tallied 1,300 yards in just eight games last season, with an average of 14.7 yards per carry.
Nevada brought in four offensive linemen and two tight ends with four of those players already enrolled. Of the two high school products coming in the fall, Ault noted that Andrew Main (6-3, 253) was an All-CIF center at Los Alamitos (Calif.) High School, a traditional powerhouse in Southern California.
The Wolf Pack inked five defensive linemen, including Rykeem Yates (6-2, 271), who signed with UCLA a year ago but enrolled at Nevada this semester, and Reginald Coates (6-1, 232), a multi-sport star who was All-CIF at Crespi High School in Encino, Calif.
With three seniors projected to start at linebacker in 2011 for Nevada, that position was a defined need and the class includes five newcomers to the linebacking corps. One of those players, Burton De Koning (6-2, 218), was a standout on the Folsom (Calif.) High School state championship team who was named Player of the Game in the section championship, the state championship and the end of the season all-star game.
There are four newcomers in the defensive backfield, including two spring enrollees. One of the newcomers, Desman Carter (6-1, 200) of Kasier High School in Fontana, Calif., turned down offers from multiple Pac-12 and Big 12 schools to sign with Nevada.
Nevada is coming off a historic season in which the Wolf Pack went 13-1, won the WAC championship and defeated Boston College of the ACC in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in front of more than 30,000 Wolf Pack fans at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
"Nevada has always had a great name but it's recognized everywhere we go now," said Jim Mastro, Nevada's running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. "The success of 'The Dream Team' this past season and Coach Ault's Pistol Offense have made Nevada football a nationally recognized name."
The signing class was unveiled at a press conference Wednesday, and the football program is holding a National Signing Day Party Wednesday evening at the Bully's Sports Bar location on Robb Drive.
Ault and his coaching staff will unveil the 2011 Wolf Pack Football recruiting class with a detailed rundown on each member of the class with a video presentation. The Fremont Cannon will be on display along with the WAC Championship Trophy, the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Trophy and the ESPN Herbie Award for the Game of the Year. The Wolf Pack's team highlight video from the historic 2010 season will also be shown.
The function is open to the public, and Bully's will be offering food and drink specials throughout the evening. The event runs from 6-8 p.m., and Wolf Pack fans are encouraged to stay afterward to watch the Nevada basketball team take on Utah State in a pivotal WAC showdown on ESPN2.
Season tickets for the 2011 football season will be on sale at the event.
The Wolf Pack will open spring drills on Thursday, March 24 with the annual Silver and Blue Game set for Saturday, April 16.

Oscar was the star of the night for Chelsea as he scored a stunning brace against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. However, Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is furious after he was forced to take the Brazilian off the pitch at 75 minutes after a stamp from Juve enforcer Leonardo Bonucci. The Italian manager has appealed to UEFA to reprimand Bonucci for his action on the night.
Oscar handed Chelsea the lead scoring twice within the span of 3 minutes. However, the Italians responded with goals from Arturo Vidal and Fabio Quagliarella to clinch a well-deserved draw. The Brazilian youngster's full debut for the Blues was marred by Bonucci, who appeared to land on Oscar's foot after a challenge.
Di Matteo made vehement protests to referee Pedro Proenca, who did not penalise the defender for his rash conduct. The Blues boss has asked UEFA to study video footage of the incident and take retrospective action against the Juve star.
Di Matteo said, "The referee did do nothing about many challenges. If UEFA has a look then good. But we have to move on from it. We will have to assess him [Oscar] tomorrow morning but he got a knock on his ankle"
The Italian boss also praised Oscar for his performance saying, "It was a great debut for Oscar. I thought it was the right game to start him and he did a perfect job tactically."
Di Matteo rues the missed opportunity to claim all three points against Juve but can now go ahead with more vigour, with Oscar proving his worth on the big stage. The young Brazilian could soon establish his first team spot at Chelsea, making them strong contenders for the Premier League title this season.

Morgantown, W.Va. (AP) -- A brief scare at the Health Sciences Center at West Virginia University was triggered by a graduate student who dropped a bottle of a chemical called phenol in a second-floor lab.
Spokeswoman Amy Johns said Tuesday the unidentified student was treated for minor burns on her leg, but there were no other injuries.
The second floor of Health Sciences North was briefly evacuated Monday night while fire officials cleaned up the spill.
Phenol is used in disinfectants and antiseptics, and in preparations such as mouthwash and throat lozenges.
The agency for toxic substances and disease registry says short-term exposure can cause respiratory irritation, headaches and burning eyes.
The accident occurred on the first day of the fall semester.
