Solutions for Chapter 15
In the text, we posit that formal or position bases of power engender compliance while informal or person power engenders commitment. Do you agree? Can you share an example?
- Commitment occurs when a follower agrees with the leader and works hard to carry out the leader's requests. Compliance occurs when the follower is willing to do what the leader requests but makes only a minimal effort, as they are not convinced that the task or change is needed. Today's effective leaders rely less on position power and more on personal power to influence others. In addition, they are open to being influenced by followers.
- Some students with limited work experience assume that being a boss means being able to tell people what to do. Clearly, being in a supervisory role affords position power, meaning that as a boss, you have the authority to require certain actions. Most employees (just like children) will do what they're told—no more, and quite possibly less. Being ordered around makes subordinates feel like they are nothing more than a robot or slave as opposed to a valued employee. Employees do what they're told to avoid negative consequences such as being demoted or fired. After a time, some employees will search for a more positive work environment.
o An example is found in the movieA Cinderella Story(starring Hillary Duff). Samantha, the Cinderella character, complies with her stepmother's every command for fear that not doing so could cause her stepmother to not pay for Sam to attend college. Sam finally realizes that the negative consequences of not obeying are far outweighed by the stifling environment in which she lives, so she quits her job (working in her stepmom's diner) and moves out of the house. Similar effects of position power can be seen in the movieOffice Space.
- When managers (or nonmanagers) use informal bases of power to influence their employees' (or co-workers') actions, the effect is different. Employees comply because they admire, respect, and want to please the manager. Many will approach these tasks proactively, considering the reason and doing more than what was asked.
o High performing teams operate on the basis of personal relationships with one another—an example of referent power. Star athletes are able to command multimillion dollar contracts because of their expert power.

Malcolm Berko: Options to beat inflation
Dear Mr. Berko: My husband and I are 76 and in good health. We are debt-free, and our home, which we nearly sold for $328,000 in 2009, is paid for. Higher prices have silently sneaked up on us, and we're nervous. We don't own any investments; we just have $116,000 in the bank, paying 0.55 percent. We receive $47,000 in income from Social Security, and we also have an annuity we bought 26 years ago and two pensions. And up until April 2010, we got more than $5,000 yearly from our CDs.
When we retired in 2004, we thought we had enough excess income to be worry-free. Now we must invest this money, and a stockbroker recommended a $100,000 variable annuity. He said that it can grow 4 percent in value each year and pay us 5 percent or $5,000 in annual income and that it can't lose money, because it's guaranteed.
Please give us your opinion, or please recommend safe dividend stocks we could buy to increase our income.
-- GA, Troy, Mich.
Dear GA: Since you folks retired in 2004, the costs for many things have increased by more than twice the advertised U.S. inflation rate.
Sadly, millions of retirees have been financially sacrificed by Washington's lower rates, which haven't done diddly to help the economy but sure have helped Wall Street. Unfortunately, you talked to the wrong person. Instead of a broker, you should have talked with a registered financial adviser, who might recommend a reverse-annuity mortgage.
Assuming your home's appraised value is $228,000, you might qualify for a monthly income of $750 tax-free (you're getting principal back), as long as you or your spouse remains in the home.
Then, when the last spouse passes, the home is sold to repay the mortgagor. If it's sold for less than your cumulative payments, the mortgagor eats the difference.
Neither you nor your estate is responsible for any deficiency.
So a RAM can increase your income by $9,000 a year, and you get to keep $116,000 in the bank.
Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The left-hander won his fourth consecutive decision and now has a 1.91 ERA, 95 strikeouts, and 45 hits allowed in 70 2/3 innings with Iowa.
Showcasing the same arsenal of pitches as he did the last time he faced New Orleans, Hill was in control from the first at-bat of the game, effectively throwing his fastball (clocked between 89-92 mph throughout the game), curveball, slider and changeup for strikes.
"I had a lot of guys 0-2 and 1-2, and the efficiency to put them away with the strikeout pitch and to get a lot of groundball outs, that's the way we play this game," Hill said. "I had a lot of good defense behind me tonight. All of my pitches were working. Sometimes I get too aggressive with my curveball and try to do too much with it, but I had good command tonight."
Hill now has 19 strikeouts over his last two starts with no runs and only five hits allowed in that span.
"He worked ahead in the count and had a good feel for all of his pitches," said Iowa pitching coach Alan Dunn. "He retired the leadoff hitter in six of his seven innings, which is huge."
Dunn said that he has been working to fine-tune Hill's approach to the game mentally, which the southpaw admits played a critical role in his struggles with the major league club earlier this year, in which he was 0-4 in as many starts with 15 walks and a 9.31 ERA.
"It's just the aspect of attacking the hitters and not letting one pitch effect the next from a negative standpoint," Dunn said. "We want him to build off of his success and not think about anything negative. His focus has been really locked in on his execution."
Hill worked with a 2-0 lead from the third inning on Monday. Buck Coats led off the third with his fourth home run of the year, a drive to right center that just cleared the outfield wall.
Geovany Soto then hit the very next offering from Zephyrs starter Anastacio Martinez down the right field line for a double. Following a sacrifice bunt from Hill, Soto advanced to third and then scored on Ryan Theriot's RBI single to right for the only offense Iowa would need.
Kerry Ligtenberg and Michael Wuertz each threw a scoreless inning in relief with Wuertz picking up his seventh save.
"You never worry about a one or two-run lead when you have as good a bullpen as we have here," Hill said. "It's shutdown time with these guys."
Iowa improved to 36-40, still six games back of first-place Nashville in the Pacific Coast League's American Northern Division. Ryan O'Malley is scheduled to start game two of the series Tuesday with Glendon Rusch starting Wednesday in a minor league rehab assignment. Rusch has been on the DL since June 18 with lower back spasms.
OF Angel Pagan, on the disabled list since late April after straining his hamstring in a game against the Pirates at PNC Park, made the first of three starts against New Orleans this week. He finished 0-for-2 with a walk and stolen base. Pagan will start Tuesday night, have a day off Wednesday, and start again in the series finale Thursday.
With Coats in center, OF Felix Pie was out of the starting lineup with Pagan in right. Pie later took over for Pagan and flied to left in his only at-bat.
Prior to the game, LHP Mark Watson was traded to Oakland and will join Triple-A Sacramento. It was not known at the time who or what the Cubs received in return. Watson was 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 23 relief appearances with the team.
On hand for the start of the series were Cubs Assistant to the General Manager Randy Bush and Minor League Field Coordinator Dave Bialas.

Forgive me for rummaging through the writerly bag of overwrought cliches, but heed this advice on draft night: Expect the unexpected.
If it is at all possible, we now know less about how Thursday night's event will play out than we did at the time of the lottery. Joel Embiid was locked in as the No. 1 pick before his medical exam turned up a foot fracture, and the pair of Jabari Parker (Milwaukee) and Andrew Wiggins (Philadelphia) also seemed settled in their destinations.
Only beginning at No. 5 did we have any palpable intrigue. Now, we're in the midst of NBA anarchy. No one has any idea what the Cavs are thinking, and their decision will dictate almost the entire lottery. Without a chance in the world of discerning fact from fiction, smokescreen from tangible rumor, at this point it's almost impossible to figure out how this draft will shake out.
To throw a cherry on top: LeBron James decided to exercise his early-termination option. The mere possibility of luring James may cause teams to alter their plans—including (rather, especially) the Miami Heat. I'm 24 years old and cannot remember a draft having this many moving parts still left to be decided with just hours remaining.
With that in mind, I'm turning in my Draft Day SAT. If deals are consummated between now and Adam Silver stepping to the podium, I'll quickly update my picks via Twitter. But, as far as actual analysis goes, here is a look at my final outlook for the 2014 NBA draft.

On the legs and arm of Everett Golson, the Irish took care of business and beat the Oklahoma Sooners by a score of 30-13.
Although not an impressive performance from a statistical standpoint, the young quarterback from South Carolina matured and took the next step as a quarterback on the big stage.
For Oklahoma, this is a disappointing defeat. The Irish rush attack proved to be too strong for the Sooners' defense, and Landry Jones just couldn't exploit matchups down the field with his myriad of wideouts.
Notre Dame moves to 8-0 with the victory, while the Sooners fall to 5-2.
Let's take a look at 10 things we learned in this contest.

Talking vending machine is filled with attitude
- From: NewsCore, news.com.au
- January 27, 2012
GREASY chips, sugary chocolates and saccharine sweets are speaking up.
But kids might not want to hear what they have to say: The snacks are telling them to make healthier food choices.
As part of its LiVe public service program, Intermountain Healthcare has installed a fake, talking vending machine in an Elementary school in America.
The machine is filled with faux snacks and doesn't take money, but when students press its buttons looking for gooey, crispy goodness, they instead get nuggets of wisdom on their choices.
"Unfortunately most of the products found in vending machines these days aren't very healthy," LiVe's website states.
"To encourage kids to give more thought into what's offered in them, we present the LiVe Vending Machine... Call it a vending machine with attitude!"
The vending machine's website also hosts a feature that lets you hear each product's line. Our favourite? The Barbecue Potato Chips:
"If you want someone to hold your hand, you should probably stop coating it with barbecue flavouring"
Watch the kid's reactions above, and see the products here.

This is a good way to educate people about things that go unmentioned, processed food can contain many compounds that are not overly healthy. Making it simple proves effective for the ignorant masses, to highlight how ignorant some folks can be I refer to the post by AJ and wonder if reading the article might have prevented that idiotic nugget that makes neither sense nor has relevance. Probably not, some folks are beyond help but this fake vending machine is a great idea.

Mark Shuttleworth Resigns as Canonical CEO
Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and CEO of Canonical has announced the transfer of his post to Canonical COO Jane Silber.
Shuttleworth intends to concentrate his energy on product design, partnerships, customer contact and relationship building. The current CEO reported in his blog that these are the areas he thrives most in. Furthermore, these are points where he can use his abilities and influence most effectively. Shuttleworth intends to transfer the reigns to Jane Silber, who has been a trusted colleague of his since the beginning (more or less), in the year 2004, at Canonical. Silber is the chief operating officer and also lead the Ubuntu One project. Due to her change of positions, the post of COO and leadership of Ubuntu One will be open and the new occupant will take on both duties.
Mark Shuttleworth considers his commitment to Ubuntu very high: "I am more committed now than I have ever been." His positions at the Ubuntu Community Council and in the Ubuntu Technical Board will not be affected by his change of position at Canonical. Shuttleworth and Silber answered questions in an interview regarding the switch.

If you're heading up to your cottage this weekend for the first time this season, you will likely have to do some cleaning before you can relax in the sun.
What happens if you pull up to your seasonal cottage and there's damage from that nasty, windy winter we had?
Anne Marie Thomas with InsuranceHotline.com says the first thing you should do when you arrive is take a walk around the property.
"Look for any sorts of tree damage, roof damage," she says.
If you find something, Thomas says you should report it to your insurance company right away and then take photos and video.
She points out that cottage insurance plans are quite different from those you get for your home in the city.
"It's almost a la cart with some insurance companies," she says.
While most cottages are covered for fire, theft and other named perils, she says you might not be covered for wind damage unless you added that to your plan.
Thomas says you should go over your coverage carefully and upgrade if you need to.
She adds that if you have done any recent renovations to your cottage, like adding a bathroom or upgrading the kitchen, your insurance company needs to know or they could deny a future claim.
"Because the insurance company might think it's a little cabin or a shack, but it turns out to be actually a whole second home."
And she says something else your seasonal cottage will not be covered for is damage by vermin. Hopefully you secured it from animals before you left last fall.

Maurice Tourneur
Jump to
Former student of painter Auguste Rodin who turned his attention to the theater and then moved into films as an actor and assistant director at the Eclair studios. Tourneur moved to the USA in 1914, initially as head of Eclair's Fort Lee, New Jersey, subsidiary. He soon became known as one of the most stylish directors of his time, partly thanks to his collaboration with pioneering art director Ben Carre, who designed some 35 features for Tourneur through 1920. The pair's best work was in the mystery and fantasy genres. Tourneur's most important films highlight his inimitable visual sensitivity and include the delightfully wistful "The Wishing Ring" (1914); "The Poor Little Rich Girl" (1917), one of Mary Pickford's best showcases; and a vivid rendition of "The Last of the Mohicans" (1920).

This fall, international scholars, educators, and policymakers will gather at Teachers College Columbia University to share educational visions and design in language and literacy education associated with speakers of various African languages as well as speakers of Creole languages and African American English.
The three-day symposium addresses theoretical and pedagogical concerns and their political consequences in the areas of discourse and literacy studies, policy, international development, and education. The symposium highlights a different language group each day, beginning with an exploration of the cultural, historical, and linguistic roots of African language, education, and policy on the African continent as well as in the United States. The second day focuses on Creole-speaking regions, investigating the interface between language, education, and policy, and the third day turns to the sociolinguistic situation in the United States, this time addressing these questions for speakers of African American English.
Based on the theme of paradigms, practices and politics of language in education, we combine theoretical presentations with educational development sessions (putting theory directly into practice) and roundtable discussions among educators, policymakers, and language scholars (translating theory and practice into conversation toward change). We invite you to join us as we engage in conversation, reflection and action as an international community. Please visit our website at www.tc.edu/ceoi/multiplelanguages

Valero recognized
Valero Energy has again been named one of Fortune magazine's 100 Best Companies to Work For and one of Forbes magazine's Platinum 400 Best Big Companies.
In the Fortune list, printed in its Jan. 22 issue, Valero ranked No. 22 overall and No. 6 among large employers, defined as companies with 10,000 employees. Valero has been ranked every year since it first appeared on the list in 2000.
Valero CEO Bill Klesse credited employees with making the ranking possible.
"As in years past, Valero is the only San Antonio company and the only refining/marketing company represented in the rankings," he said.
Fortune magazine said: "Of the 23 refineries designated by OSHA as having the best safety programs, 11 are Valero units. ... Another plus: The company has never laid off a single employee."
Valero's McKee Refinery in Sunray has about 430 employees and refines an estimated 170,000 barrels of oil per day. The refinery, one of 18 plants owned and operated by Valero Energy, produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other petroleum products.
Border States buys firm
Fargo-based Border States Electric announced Monday it has agreed to buy Minnesota Electric Supply Co., an electrical product supply company with eight warehouses in Minnesota. The transaction is expected to close in April.
Last year, Amarillo-based Nunn Electric merged with Border States and 19 Nunn Electric locations became divisions of Border States. Nunn Electric was founded in Amarillo in 1910 by Lindsey Nunn. In 1926, it was bought by the Carl Hare family.
With the acquisition, Border States now will have about 1,200 employees and 51 branch operations in 11 states and Mexico.
Oil prices retreat
The oil market pared its losses to settle above $55 Tuesday, after a volatile trading day that saw prices sink to 18-month lows on expectations for more mild weather and selling by large investment funds.
Crude prices have plummeted nearly 9 percent this year.
Wall Street ends mixed
Wall Street was mixed in an erratic session Tuesday as investors, uneasy about approaching earnings reports, debated whether the drop in oil prices would eventually bring stocks down as well.
Investors had already lost some of their recent ebullience going into the earnings season, worried that 18 straight quarters of double-digit growth in Standard & Poor's 500 companies might be ending.
And finally ...
** Dow component Exxon Mobil fell 56 cents to $72.09. BP dropped $1.85, or 2.9 percent, to $62.44 after it announced a lower output and narrowing margins. Chevron fell 82 cents to $70.63.
** The unofficial start of the upcoming earnings season kicked off Tuesday after the closing bell when Alcoa posted results. The world's largest aluminum producer said fourth-quarter profit rose 60 percent to beat expectations. Alcoa shares rose 4 cents to $28.52.

About Allen Sheffield
I am a retired University lecturer, however I have been an avid photographer for some 50 years. My wife and I love to travel - usually with our little travel trailer RV behind us, but we have made some wonderful journeys over the past half dozen years. We went to Peru and Ecuador where we saw and photographed the plains of Nazca, Machu Picchu, a bit of the Amazon rainforest, and of course, The Galapagos. Less than a year later we spent two weeks driving around England (her birthplace.)
In 2012, we traveled to France. We began on The Cote d'Azur, please see my panoramic views of the beaches at Cannes and Antibes. The main attraction of this trip was a week on a river cruise ship from Arles to Macon. Later we were able to spend a couple of days in Paris.
In January 2014, we spent more than a week on the Amazon River and its headwaters above Iquitos, Peru. Please check my gallery 'People of the Amazon Rainforest.' Fourteen of these images were on display at El Paso Library's Dorris van Doren Branch as a one man show for two months (June & July 2015.)
My wife and I are members of El Paso Art Association (EPAA.) I have exhibited in several shows organized by EPAA, as well as at The El Paso International Museum of Art. Christine and I each had two works in Hal Marcus Gallery during the 'All You Can Eat' exhibit organized for the benefit of the El Paso Vegetarian Society - I was especially happy that my photo 'Market - Cusco, Peru' sold during that show. Please take a look at that image in my 'Markets' Gallery.
I have submitted four images to the International Eye of the Camera Exhibit that will be at The El Paso International Art Museum. Please click on my 'International Eye of the Camera' gallery to see my 2016 entries (and also my 2015 entries.)

Two memorable photos
We took a lot of photos on our trip this summer. That's the curse of digital photography: you can just keeping snapping away, deleting the duds later. Much later…
I won't be posting many pictures of our trip, but there are bound to be a few, marking the high points of our thirty memorable days in Greece-Turkey-Czech Republic.
Here I am, touching the stones of Homeric-era Troy. Can't put into words how powerful it felt visiting a place I'd read about since childhood. Glorious!
I also got the opportunity to make a pilgrimage, of sorts, to the grave of one of my literary heroes, Franz Kafka. Sherron snapped this one, then discreetly wandered off, letting me have a few private words with my old Master. No touristas about, no unwelcome intrusions. Special, special moment…
If I may get a bit political for a moment…
Choosing Our Poison
Over the past couple of years, I've increased my readings of history, economics and politics, and I think that comes from my determination to better understand the world as it is unfolding, and gain at least a few hints into what the future might hold for those of us who are left vulnerable to larger forces because of our class/caste, income, race, etc.
I've kept track of relevant quotes, statistics and observations by jotting them down in a black notebook, filling it to the margins. Recently I came to the last few pages of the notebook and decided to try and distill what I had gleaned from my readings into a mini-essay.
I've polished it some, clarified my thoughts in a few places, but tried to retain the surge of inspiration and anger that provoked its composition:
"Now and then I see the truth above the lies…"
Paul Banks, "The Base"
The uneasy truce between capitalism and democracy is breaking down.
At some point—if it hasn't happened already—we're going to have to choose between those two opposing ideologies and that choice will define (and haunt) our species for generations to come. Which will it be: a smoothly running corporate machine or our personal freedom?
Slavoj Zizek (among others) insists we're living in a "late capitalist" world.
Capitalism is in the process of transforming into a more autocratic version of itself—something like China or Singapore, where individual rights, many of the privileges we enjoy as a western society, either do not exist or are drastically scaled back. Doled out in increments by an unholy alliance between state and industry.
It has gotten to the point where capitalism can no longer tolerate the constraints of democracy. Anything that slows or inhibits growth/profit, must be neutered, rendered harmless. And that can be accomplished, for example, through trade pacts that supersede or nullify a country's legal codes and charters, fatally undermining national social institutions and standards.
Environmental laws, legislation restricting monopolies or policing the financial industry, are anathema to the one-percenters and business elite. They still exist in a magical land where growth is limitless, the stock market their personal Ponzi scheme and there are sufficient resources to sustain their extravagant lifestyles indefinitely.
Their narrative simply does not allow for maintaining a more modest standard of living, conservation, thrift, environmental stewardship…
All their talk of GNP and GDP and TTIP, but they persist in refusing to factor in the short and long term consequences of ruinous, wasteful industrial practices, mindsets that more properly belong to the notorious robber barons of the 19th Century, rather than enlightened and highly educated men and women (okay, mainly men) of today. And the toll continues to mount: pollution and ecological devastation on an unimaginable scale, with all the attendant health problems; a growing disparity between rich and poor; human populations becoming more fearful and anxiety-wracked as they face a future that no longer guarantees food security, let alone the safety and sanctity of their homes and persons.
Clean air, safe food, pure water, human dignity and basic, inalienable rights…these things are non-negotiable. In fact, they are the basis for life itself.
Why would we cede responsibility over such crucial issues to petty bureaucrats and corrupt apparatchiks?
Have we become so lazy and stupid, such sheep, that we would willingly hand the keys of liberty to our warders and bare our throats to ravenous wolves?
Looking back…and ahead
"Out with the old, in with the new", that seems to be the sentiment around Casa Burns these days.
Our youngest kid has now flown the coop and we are, officially, empty nesters. The house seems damn strange without our boys pounding up and down the steps, blasting music or bellowing at their video games in their basement hidey-hole. The silence, as they say, is deafening. But they're both ready to be out in the world, anxious to be on their own. They'll have their tough days, intervals when it seems like the whole universe has lined up against them. But they'll make it. They're tough and resourceful and bloody smart. Which gives them a leg up in any society.
So we begin 2014, Sherron and I, somewhat sorrowful, missing the lads but eager to get on with the next phase of our lives; back to being a couple again, exploring the world together, seeing where our dreams take us.
I'm fifty years old, as of last October, and that's also made a difference. I thought any change or transformation would be largely symbolic but turning fifty combined with our sons' departure has put a whole new slant on things. I feel like another man.
To start with, I realize that more than half my life is gone and if I'm lucky I could have twenty or twenty-five healthy years ahead of me (with my genetics, that might be pushing it). That's not a lot of time. As a result, I'm not going to waste any of it on stupid discussions, movies, books, music, feuds or anything that doesn't further my pursuit of wisdom, joy and matters relating to the spirit.
I did a considerable amount of writing in 2013 (not unexpected) but I also found myself exploring other media, employing a variety of means to express myself. As a result, I created more visual pieces than ever before: acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings, lots of photographs, ambient soundscapes, even a short film. Will this trend continue in 2014 or were all these non-literary ventures merely an aberration? Experiments, nothing more.
We shall see.
I know that for some time I've occasionally experienced a certain amount of frustration with the limits of language and wish to communicate via non-narrative, non-linear means. Abstraction invites collaboration, interpretation, input from the audience/viewer. The vast majority of my visual work frustrates literal-mindedness—the equivalent of Rorschach Tests, shapes demanding speculation and discussion.
Not for everyone.
Obviously, one of the high points of 2013 was the release of my short story collection Exceptions and Deceptions. The book features what I think is our best cover thus far and includes a batch of stories drawn from the past fifteen years, a couple of them previously unpublished and available nowhere else. Every time I glance up and see it on my shelf, I get a tingle. Fans of Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, Jonathan Carroll, Neil Gaiman take note: this one'll rock your socks off. Trust me.
Another fun experience was collaborating with my son Sam on an instrumental number which he then incorporated into a short film for Sherron's "Agassiz" mask/puppet production, debuting later this month. Sam's film is a gem and as soon as he uploads it to YouTube or Vimeo, I'll post a link.
Let's see, what else…in November I was astonished to learn my volume New & Selected Poems (1984-2011) was shortlisted for a ReLit independent press award. My bizarre verse? Really?
Managed to read one hundred books in 2013, though at one point I didn't think I'd make it to #80. A big surge in November-December put me over the top. The 100th book, completed December 30th? Italo Calvino's Under the Jaguar Sun. What a way to finish off the year.
I've been noticing how much my reading tastes have changed over the past number of years—hardly any genre stuff these days, except for a bit of SF and the odd mystery/thriller by LeHane or Philip Kerr. Much less fiction, overall. Gimme a fat, juicy history book any day.
We don't have cable, so we don't watch television. Have no idea what shows are popular on the boob tube and couldn't care less. Ditto with movies. By far the best movie I saw last year was Peter Strickland's "Berberian Sound Studio". Haven't heard of it? Tsk, tsk. Grab it off NetFlix, buy or rent it from Amazon, do not miss this flick.
Music? The new Queens of the Stone Age, as well as Nine Inch Nails (live), Steven Wilson, Mogwai, Benjamin Britten and Gene Autry's Greatest Hits. Keepin' it diverse.
Looking ahead: I'll be working on my new novel, as well as prepping…ah, well, mustn't give too much away. Let's just say that Black Dog Press has a number of releases pending in the next eighteen months and there will be further information announced in the days to come.
All the best in 2014.
Thanks, as always, for dropping by and hanging out awhile.
My first professional submission
True story:
When I was around twelve years old, there was a program on CBC Television called "Pencil Box". The show wasn't very good (even for kids' fare) but it did feature one interesting wrinkle: young viewers could send in a skit or playlet and, if it passed muster, a cast of "professional" actors would stage and perform it.
I watched an episode or two and, as has happened with many writers since time immemorial, decided I could write just as well as some of the material being selected. At the time, I was obsessed with World War II, immersed in William Shirer's The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, religiously watching episodes of "The World at War" (narrated by Laurence Olivier) every Sunday afternoon. I decided my piece was going to be an historical mystery and it didn't take me long to come up with a concept. I scribbled out a draft in a couple of hours, sealed it in an envelope and sent that handwritten version to the show's producers.
I wish I'd kept a copy.
And I would've loved to have seen the look on some poor, underpaid story editor's face as he scanned the 3-4 page skit.
"Good God…"
The plot involved a series of suspicious deaths that seemed connected in some way to a particular field somewhere in central Europe. The inexplicable and unsettling incidents baffle authorities, so they summon a master detective and this Holmes/Dupin type paces about, scrutinizing the ground until he is struck by a notion, does his research and sure enough—
He calls everyone together and announces his brilliant solution. Years before, after the defeat of the Nazis, the area had been used as a dump for some of the waste of war, including (wait for it), numerous canisters of Zyklon-B gas. The canisters were leaking, seaping up through the topsoil, and, voilá, it was those noxious vapors that were sickening and killing the local populace.
Everyone applauds the detective's extraordinary powers of deductive reasoning, he takes his bows and…Fade Out.
My dramatized detective story wasn't accepted.
My first submission and my first rejection.
But the note (typed on official "Pencil Box" stationery) was kind, encouraging to send more ideas and stories and perhaps, some day, one of them would make it on to the show. They also enclosed a free pin, which I've kept to this day.
Happy 100th Birthday, North Battleford
Our little city officially celebrates its 100th birthday today.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a poem paying tribute to the river valleys that have been home and sanctuary to our species for many millennia. We're blessed with a particularly lovely one here and I've often driven or walked through these hills and imagined this place when it was younger, wilder, populated by an entirely different kind of people.
Happy birthday, North Battleford.
Irresistibly drawn to these green
descending hills, natural cradle
for a squalling, nascent civilization
offering the allure of water, game
shelter from on-rushing tempests &
killing winter winds that seek
but fail to penetrate the draws
& shallow, dipping coulees
grudgingly retreating only when
the first crocus, purple with apoplexy
sends them packing back to their
Rocky Mountain redoubt
Summer settlements along the
sandy riverbanks, for trade &
contact after another hard winter:
fishing & hunting & sport
rough games to occupy the young men—
old feuds recalled, raids re-enacted
blood alliances forged between families
& lodges, only the occasional grass fire,
torrential hailstorm or inevitable drowning
dispelling the illusion of idyll
& so it was & remained until one day
(overcast, with a promise of rain)
on the horizon, no attempt to hide
(there! there! see?)
strangers & from the look of them
they'd come a long way…
Rounding the big curve, topping the hill
the familiar sight of the river valley
spread out below us & then crossing the
newly repaired bridge, gazing down at the
olive-colored water, suddenly realizing
Heraclitus was wrong, this is that same river, we
are merely the latest arrivals, on our way to
supper with friends in Old Town, who will
excitedly tell us about the moose spotted on
the island, offer to show us the nest of the
Great Horned owl so that we, too, can
endure her cool, dispassionate regard, whispering
so we don't spoil the moment

"Subsidence" (Prose)
It has something to do with the persistent damp. Seepage; the ground fluid, churning. Things constantly coming to the surface that are better left buried.
In the spring, when the snows subside, dissolve away. Sometimes a careless farmer will plough up the wrong field. Or children will make a grisly discovery in the woods.
We have been condemned, collectively, for those dark times. You would think we all owned Kalashnikovs and a cluster of hand grenades.
They will not forgive the desecration of the churches. Those pictures. Awful, awful. Though some of us insist they were faked…
Listen, we can't keep apologizing for the past. What's done is done. It could happen in any modern, civilized state.
They want to call it genocide but we reject that.
It was war and terrible things occurred.
We won't be treated as pariahs.
We have sinned but are answerable only to God.

After a long drive across the frozen wastes of Lake Baikal, Frazier arrived at a long-abandoned prison camp near the town of Topolinoe. The camps along the Topolinskaya Highway were among the most dreaded destinations in Stalin's gulag, the prison system that claimed the lives of more than a million people during the height of the Great Terror in 1937 and 1938. Frazier walked through one of the barracks where inmates starved and froze in the Siberian winter: "This interior offered little to think about besides the limitless periods of suffering that had been crossed off here, and the unquiet rest these bunks had held." As always, Frazier locates the apt historical anecdote that captures the horror with precision. He tells the story of two child prisoners who were given a pair of guard-dog puppies to raise, then struggled to find names for them: "The poverty of their surroundings had stripped their imaginations bare. Finally they chose names from common objects they saw every day. They named one puppy Ladle and the other Pail."
-Joshua Hammer (from his New York Times review of Ian Frazier's Travels in Siberia)

ST. LOUIS - Last June, no more than a few days after the Flyers bowed out of the Stanley Cup finals, goaltender Michael Leighton sat in coach Peter Laviolette's office for the usual exit interviews.
Except Leighton's meeting with Laviolette - one of the men responsible for his renaissance in net - was much more than routine. Leighton's conversation was very emotional.
Leighton thanked his coach for believing in him and promised he would be better if he got another chance to start this season.

Watseka: Battery outside City Hall
A disturbance outside Watseka City Hall last week has a 20-year-old Watseka man facing charges of Aggravated Battery and Disorderly Conduct.
Brett Ordonez was arrested after he allegedly battered an elderly male subject over some kind of civil matter.
It was just past 9 pm Thursday when police officers responded to cries for help in the City Hall parking lot. The victim was treated for injuries at Iroquois Memorial Hospital.
Ordonez spent time at the Iroquois County Jail and has since been released on bond.

PASADENA, Calif. -- From Wisconsin's first play, when Montee Ball ripped off a 40-yard run with the vast purple throng in the Rose Bowl gulping at once, to its final one, when TCU linebacker Tank Carder vaulted himself into school lore with the biggest pass bat-down in program history, the Horned Frogs never flinched.
Once the smoke from record-setting offensive fireworks in the first quarter cleared and the 97th Rose Bowl settled into mano-a-mano battles, it was third-ranked TCU that dictated terms on all fronts for a 21-19 victory over the mighty Big Ten co-champion and fifth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers.
Carder's play of the game on Wisconsin's two-point conversion attempt with two minutes to play prevented the Badgers from tying the score and sealed the biggest triumph for TCU since the program's last run to perfection in 1938.
TCU coach Gary Patterson was concerned about how this one would be chronicled. Would a TCU win be passed off as lucky? Or worse, excused away as Wisconsin simply not bringing its A-game? Since he arrived at TCU 13 years ago as defensive coordinator, Patterson said, that's the way it's always been.
No more. Across the country, Patterson's 10th version of the Horned Frogs, unbeaten and untied at 13-0, will be hailed as a worthy Rose Bowl champions and offered as more damning evidence against BCS tyranny.
"It's like anything else in college football or anything else in life," Patterson said. "There is a set of rules of how it is and right now this is the way it is. I've never been a whiner. I've never been somebody that's been out there griping about how it is and I'm not going to start now."
And Patterson's top-ranked defense didn't whine or gripe when the Badgers busted them in the mouth on their opening drive. Bell got the first carry and -- bang -- Wisconsin's behemoth offensive line opened a gaping hole that led to a run to the TCU 28-yard line.
But the Frogs held and forced a field goal. They'd force two more in the first half, with Wisconsin missing one attempt. Throughout, TCU played the ultimate game of bend-but-don't-break, surrendering 385 yards but just 19 points, and only nine over the final three quarters.
"That's definitely what we pride our defense on. That's what Coach P always talks about," Carder said. "Our defense can bend, but don't break. I feel like holding them to those two field goals kind of changed the whole tempo of the game."
On the other side, senior quarterback Andy Dalton avenged the personal pain of last season's Fiesta Bowl loss with an efficient, near-flawless game through the air (15-for-23, 219 yards, one touchdown) and on the ground (nine carries for 28 yards, one touchdown).
Despite having the football for just 1:30 in the second quarter because Wisconsin's powerful offensive line had buried the Frogs' lighter defensive line, TCU still held a 14-13 lead at halftime.
"It was a real calm feeling," senior safety Tejay Johnson said of the halftime locker room. "We were just told to play TCU football."
As long as the Frogs could get the football, they could move it, leaving this game up to Patterson's defense. Even Patterson had tried to hype the real matchup as being the Frogs' offense against the Badgers' defense, but forget that.
Wisconsin's defense was the only non-elite unit on the field. This game would come down to the original hype: the Badgers' brute force up front against the Frogs' defensive speed. As much as this game was a referendum on whether TCU and any other little sister of the poor belonged in such a big game, perhaps even Patterson's chops on such a national stage were under examination.
"I think he was real excited. He was salivating," linebacker Tanner Brock said of Patterson as he prepared for the Badgers.
Wisconsin averaged 67 points in its last three Big Ten games. It was playing as well as anyone in the country and as each day passed, the size of its offensive line and the brutality of its rushing attack seemed to grow to mythical heights.
"All we'd been hearing about is how big they are and how much more weight they have on their line on average, and we just knew we were coming in here with speed," Carder said. "Because I feel like speed beats power any day."
It certainly did in the third quarter with Wisconsin facing third-and-6 on the TCU 37-yard line after starting at its own 5. Dalton and the Frogs opened the quarter with a composed, 71-yard march into the end zone to extend their lead to eight and the Badgers were again building momentum of their own.
Carder, on a blitz, blasted into the backfield and crushed Badgers quarterback Scott Tolzien to force a punt. Wisconsin started its next drive at the 3 after a sensational TCU special-teams play. The Badgers punted after three plays netted 9 yards.
Wisconsin returned to its roots on its next possession, turning to the fresh legs of John Clay. With two minutes to go, a tie score was a conversion away. Yet another surprise came when Wisconsin broke the huddle in a shotgun, spread formation.
"I thought they were going to come out and run the ball," said Johnson, who shook off a missed third-down tackle that kept the drive alive at the Frogs' 19. "When they came out in the spread, it really surprised me."
Patterson said the Badgers made the right call. He dialed up a blitz and Wisconsin tight end Jacob Pedersen sat in the end zone wide open. Tolzien's pass never made it to him. Carder bounced off a blocker, jumped up and swatted it down.
"We were lucky Tank was in the game," Patterson said, "and knocked the ball down."
Lucky? That's not how TCU's triumph in the 97th Rose Bowl will be chronicled.

Skip to comments.Caption Bill and Hillary at an ice cream parlor
Posted on 07/05/2007 5:26:05 AM PDT by redstates4ever
"Democratic Presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton place an order at Whitey's Ice Cream during a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa, July 3, 2007."
Bill and Hillary ice cream parlor caption *ping*
I thought she was looking out for his weight?
Her butt's so big it starts at the back of her knees...
God help and protect us from these two...
Beast: "I'll have what he's having ..."
Maybe! Lets make it Official!
Chelsea is getting a new bro or sista!!
H!: I'l have the banana split.....hold the nuts, I've got some...........
"it's bob barker!"

Hillary's Worst Outfit Yet
On Drudge ^ | 7/3/07
Posted on 07/03/2007 7:54:50 PM PDT by AnnaZ
Okay, frankly I'm demoralized when we focus too much on Hilliary!'s looks.
The fact that she's an unapologetic Marxist should be enough.
(Plus, she doesn't look that bad... it's just the maniacal facial expressions.)
That said... what the hell was she thinking?!
To: AmericanMade1776
I have seen Hillary in worse outfits.
I don't know, babe... the short pants, the cheap yellow shirt, the socks with flats... MY EYES!!!
It's not Chairman Mao... it's not even Ol' Crusty... but good grief, it's BAAAAD!
CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
What her half moons???
I was going to compare Hillary's "Walmart" outfit with Big Bird -- yelllow, goofy shoes, etc......but Big Bird has WAY more class than the Hildabeast:
"Whitey's" Ice Cream?? Not too PC a name is it Hill???
"Looks like chubby ate a tubby of vanilla."
"Put some ice cream on it."
I think her stylist is a GOP mole.
Hill: "Better enjoy it. That's ALL you get, tubby."
It looks like Hillary is now the 'heavy' in that marriage.
I always thought the photographer for Kerry was a GOP mole. The pictures just couldn't get funnier. Prissy pass..Brand new hunting duds...blue bunny!!!!!!!
It was either this or be an MC at Gore's Live Earth concert.
It doesn't show sweat stains.
"Do these pants make my feet look fat?"
Hillary: I don't care if it's Ben & Jerry's, I STILL don't like sperm flavored ice cream. Go back to Monica!
What a pair of turds.
Third picture: "Hillary, this is not want I meant when I said I'd like a taste from the girl behind the counter!"
This is how we're running, and this is how we'll rule, folks. The both of us together, two for the price of one.
OMG! She is not looking so great.
Notice anything unusual about the ice cream pictures? The photographer is standing behind the counter and you don't see any other photographers.
Clearly, it's a campaign photo.
All the pictures show Hillary looking at Bill as if she actually likes him. You rarely saw that before now. It must be the new strategy.
She wants to loook just like the schlubs in Iowa.
She thinks she's looking hinterlandish in that outfit.
He is working harder than he ever has. Just retire, already.
The only question is; will Obama seek to get mileage on the Clintons hanging out at "Whitey's"?
"She wants to loook just like the schlubs in Iowa."
Just curious what a "schlub in Iowa" would be?
You also don't see any secret service agents...
She looks like a presidents wife, not presidential material.
Those pictures stink so much that I can smell the odor through my computer.
