This course fulfills requirements for the following specialization(s):
Description: Policies have become more complex, the players more diverse, and the consequences of policy creation and adjustment more serious and immediate. As students of public policy and public management, understanding the nature of policy development will better position you to successfully engage in the policy arena and to be critical, wise users of policy-related research, data and information.
During our time together we will focus on the nature of public policy problems, examining the unique roles the Congress, the President, the Executive Branch and the courts play in the creation and oversight of public policy. We will examine several public policy problems with roots in contemporary society including: the environment and global climate change, health care financing, the quality of elementary and secondary education, and the impact of the aging of the population on US policies. In studying these issues we will identify the nature of these problems; analyze the attendant challenges these problems create for the future well being of our Nation; explore ways the problems have been addressed; analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions offered thus far; develop new options for addressing these problems in the future; and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these options.
The course is designed to integrate knowledge generated through sound policy analysis with political and organizational realities so that you will develop an appreciation for the complexity of public policy problems; and an understanding of the key players who tackle these problems, the environments in which they act, and processes they use to assess the feasibility of options offered to help solve these problems.
The course requires extensive reading to prepare for class and a very high level of participation in class. Student assessment will be based upon: an on-the-spot briefing; a team project; an in-class collaborative project; an analytic memorandum discussing a current public policy problem of your choice; one 15-20 page report analyzing a policy problem; and class participation. There is no final examination.

A man police described as elderly was uninjured when three men robbed him at knifepoint in north Amarillo Thursday afternoon, investigators said.
The man told officers he was taking a walk near Martin Road Park about 2:30 p.m., when three black men wielding kitchen knives approached him, police said. The men forced him to look at the ground while they took undisclosed property from him, police said.
The victim, who does not speak English, was in Amarillo visiting family who live near the park, police said. After the incident, he walked to his family's home in the 1800 block of Darden Street and called police.
The investigation into the incident continued Thursday afternoon. No other information was available Thursday.

What is Literary Criticism? How do I find it?
Literary criticism is the term given to studies that define, classify, analyze, interpret, and evaluate works of literature. There are many types of literary criticism: some examples include historical criticism, textual criticism, feminist criticism, and formalist criticism. Literary criticism may examine a particular literary work or it may look at an author's writings as a whole. Finding literary criticism can be challenging. This research guide is designed to help students research and write a literary criticism paper. Please contact the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of Mitchell Memorial Library, (662) 325-7667, or use our Ask-A-Librarian service for further questions about any of these resources.

Although the match was scoreless for 120 minutes, Argentina were able to finally defeat the Netherlands on penalty kicks, 4-2, to advance to the 2014 World Cup finals against Germany.
Lionel Messi did not have the stunning performance everyone was hoping for, but he came through when needed along with Maxi Rodriguez, who ended the competition with the game-winning goal.
Coming into the match, stopping Messi was a major goal for the Dutch. Manager Louis van Gaal knew it was not the full game plan, but there was certainly a lot of focus on the star, via FIFA.com:
I'm not thinking about individual players, I'm thinking always that we have to play against a team, but Messi is a very important player. But we also have very important players in our team: Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder. They have never won the [FIFA Ballon d'Or], but they are very good players who can decide a game, like Messi. So we have to play against Argentina and we have to try to stop Messi getting the ball, passing the ball, scoring goals, and you do that as a team. I hope my team can do the job.
His squad did a great job of accomplishing this feat right from the beginning. As Brian Straus of Sports Illustrated pointed out, Messi's positioning helped limit his production:
Messi playing pretty deep, allowing NDJ to shadow, back 4 to keep shape and #NED to foul in less dangerous spots. Time to push him higher?— Brian Straus (@BrianStraus) July 9, 2014
This was likely due to the absence of Angel di Maria, who was unavailable for the match due to a thigh injury. Still, this allowed Nigel de Jong to do his job of marking the superstar from the midfield, something he did very well, according to Mike Foss of For The Win:
Messi is going to need to take a restraining order out on Nigel De Jong when this is over. De Jong clearly has one job today.— Mike Foss (@themikefoss) July 9, 2014
The Barcelona star's best play in the first half—and the most exciting moment early in the match—came on a free kick, as described by ESPN FC:
Messi with a shot on goal from the free kick but right at Cillessen! Still 0-0, 16' #NEDvsARG— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 9, 2014
While the Netherlands deserved credit for keeping the top scorer in check, American player Michael Parkhurst questioned the effort from Messi:
No doubt Messi is one of worlds best but you don't see anyone on Germany walk around on defense— Michael Parkhurst (@MFparkhurst) July 9, 2014
Benjamin Morris of FiveThirtyEight backed this up to a degree:
Messi had 26 touches in the first half, has averaged 33 per half throughout the tournament.— Benjamin Morris (@skepticalsports) July 9, 2014
Messi continued to work in the second half but the action was still limited as neither side was able to break through. Miguel Delaney of ESPN FC was amazed that the forward could not get anything going:
Dutch have done a great job on Messi. Still difficult to think he can go a full two hours without getting at least one moment...— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) July 9, 2014
There was not much more action in extra time, leading the two sides to settle things in penalty shots. After Ron Vlaar missed the first shot for the Dutch, Messi was able to give Argentina the advantage with an easy score, as The New York Times shared:
Messi went left, Cillessen right. And that looked easy.— NYT Sports (@NYTSports) July 9, 2014
A few moments later, Rodriguez was there to finish it. The 33-year-old midfielder only came onto the match in the 101st minute for Ezequiel Lavezzi, and he missed on his earlier attempt, as noted by The Sun:
CHANCE! Brilliant, mazy run from Messi, who has been quiet. Cross to Maxi Rodriguez who scuffs his shot straight at the keeper #NEDvsARG 0-0— The Sun - Football (@TheSunFootball) July 9, 2014
However, he made up for it as the fourth shooter for Argentina in the penalty kicks. With the pressure on, he fired the ball off Jasper Cillessen's hands and into the net:
VINE: Rodriguez scores to send #ARG to the World Cup final http://t.co/FOguWvKtXq— LiveFootball (@livefootball) July 9, 2014
Ives Galarcep points out that the power of the shot helped it go in:
Cillessen got his hands to Rodriguez's PK, but there was 2 much power behind it. Mascherano in tears, Messi overjoyed. #ARG fans in heaven— Ives Galarcep (@SoccerByIves) July 9, 2014
The clutch goal was enough to clinch the 4-2 victory on penalty kicks and help Argentina win the dramatic World Cup semifinal. The South American squad will now face Germany—a team that recently blew out Brazil 7-1—for the title.
If the defense can play as well as it did against the Netherlands and Messi finds a way to break free for a goal, Argentina can come through with the win.

Body talk: When Edwin Friedman faced quadruple bypass surgery, he wondered whether he had heretofore seen his body as a friend. Perhaps—but if so, he had abused this friend. "If my symptoms could talk, what would they say to me?" he wondered. He imagined his symptoms saying, "You take care of us and we'll take care of you." Friedman concluded that his recuperation had to begin before the surgery (What Are You Going to Do with Your Life? Seabury Books).

Near the end of the high energy concert special "Bon Jovi — The Circle Tour: Live from New Jersey" frontman Jon Bon Jovi tells a full house at the new Meadowlands Stadium how much the old stadium meant to him as an artist and as a member of the audience.
The original stadium was a sports venue that eventually turned into one of the country's biggest grossing sites for everyone from U2 to Bruce Springsteen.
Backed by the marketing power of major record labels and pop music radio stations, the biggest acts in the 1980s and 1990s could sell out the vast arena in a matter of minutes.
Watching "The Circle Tour" I couldn't shake the question of whether or not there will be a market for rock shows on this scale in just a few years.
The audience has been so fragmented and scattered in recent years that even the biggest acts are thrilled if they can fill Madison Square Garden for a single night. Hell, most of them would be happy to sell out Radio City Music Hall.
It's not coincidental that the few acts that still play the sports arena circuit — The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen — have been around for a long time and rose to power under the aegis of the old-school music industry/rock radio consortium. None of these acts are the recording powerhouses they once were — nobody is — but they have huge and loyal (and nostalgic) fan bases who will turn out for a big live show.
Now that contemporary acts are working in smaller venues, they're not developing the unique out-sized showmanship and musicianship that is necessary to rouse a mammoth crowd, qualities that Jon Bon Jovi and his bandmates have in abundance, judging by the special that debuts today on the EPIX channel as well as EPIX On Demand and on EpixHD.com.
I've never been a big Bon Jovi fan — they've always seemed to me like Springsteen without the social awareness — but the Meadowlands show is a model of pacing and arena theatrics that augment the performance without dwarfing it.
The band plays in front of some sort of giant Jumbotron screen that flashes with epic mood lighting as well as live pictures of the performers (for the folks in the cheap seats).
The camerawork is excellent, and the editor has wisely kept the hysterical crowd footage to a minimum. The mixing of material shot at all three of the sold-out shows last May is also handled deftly.
The band does a tight 90-minute set — containing nearly all of the big hits — a powerful encore, and then calls it a night.
Although I've never thought that any artists are seen at their best in this over-sized format, it is thrilling to witness the energy exchange between a hot band and tens of thousands of fans. And now, there is a strong aura of nostalgia surrounding a style of performance that is quickly vanishing from pop culture.

Me & Mrs. Jones
updated 03.11.2003
Good stuff! I honestly think this was the first time I ever watched Masterpiece Theatre the whole way through and liked the show enough to tape it on overnight. It's a very cute, funny and romantic film. I enjoyed it a great deal.
Victoria Morris
Las Vegas, NV
That was the silliest, most inane production of Masterpiece Theatre that I've ever seen. Your standards have been lowered to produce such a ridiculous program. As Russell Baker said, a "willing suspension of disbelief" was needed. Too bad, I was unwilling. It was too ridiculous!
Adele Gorham
Northford, CT
Robson Green is delightful and I have enjoyed him in previous programs. Please show more of him in the future, either on Masterpiece Theatre or Mystery! The latter, I hope, won't be so gruesome.
Barbara Tilsley
Ocala, FL
It's a pity that the first part of Me & Mrs. Jones was shown on the night of the Super Bowl. This is the one night that PBS could have and should have aired a repeat, as there was no way that Me & Mrs. Jones could have drawn too many viewers. Last year the same thing happened. They aired another excellent show during the Super Bowl. I hope they learn from their mistakes and either re-play the same episode on a different night, or not bother showing it at the same time as what is deemed the single biggest "television event" in America.
Jaideep Desai
New York, NY
I love the more contemporary Masterpiece Theatre productions. I especially enjoy Robson Green as an actor. Thank you!
Theresa Wanta
Saint Paul, MN
I am a big Robson Green fan. I have been ever since I saw him in Reckless. I watched Me & Mrs. Jones and I really wasn't impressed. I thought that Reckless & Reckless (The Sequel) were better productions.
Mara Pemberton
Eureka, CA,
I love Robson Green and will watch anything that he is in. He is never a disappointment. What a great show! Please keep up the romantic comedies.
Mary Richeson
Cedar Rapids, IA
Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed Me & Mrs. Jones. I say "surprisingly" because I have grumbled about Masterpiece Theatre presentations since the much acclaimed I, Claudius. But I must say that I was completely taken by Liam and the Prime Minister. I watched it on its first run, and stayed up well past my bedtime to view it again. It's light, but delightful and charming. By the way, the dance scene was the most sensuous display on film that I've seen in sometime. Can we expect to see more of Liam and the Prime Minister?
Gwen Moore
St. Louis, MO
Me & Mrs. Jones is an absolutely wonderful movie. I love it so much! It's so romantic and Keeley Hawes is amazing as Jane.
Tiffany D.
Panama City Beach, FL
Me & Mrs. Jones was a wonderful movie. It's not often that a movie (on television anyway) keeps me glued to my seat. It's so charming, and thank you for the ending. I didn't really believe it could have that happy twist to it. Now, I don't much like watching Robson Green in his television series, but he was perfect for this part. The other characters were good too. I definitely plan to buy the video when it comes out.
Moira Eicholtz
Lakewood, WA
I so enjoyed this "modern" production, and look forward to seeing future works starring these two fine actors!
Ellen Mrja
Mankato, MN
Frankly, I found Me & Mrs. Jones silly, shallow and unbelievable. Why would you insult viewers' intelligence with this juvenile mess? Robson Green is a fine actor, as he has proved many times, and I'm sure Caroline Goodall is capable of good work too. It's a shame Me & Mrs. Jones is such a stupid play.
Judging by the dialogue, nobody could possibly believe that she was the Prime Minister of Great Britain, leader of the second most powerful nation on earth. 'Harry Fletcher's' easy access to 10 Downing Street boggles the mind, and the casual familiarity with the Prime Minister is simply not EVER likely to happen, no matter how sexy the male or how attractive the woman he's pursuing. It was a waste of time, unconvincing, dumb and badly written. The best thing about it was the sets.
Quentin Rinehart
Tacoma, WA
Robson Green is always fantastic. I laughed through and loved the whole two hours. What a delightful and honest presentation.
Lauren Darman
Albany, NY
Thank you so much for the Masterpiece Theatre production of Me & Mrs. Jones. It reminded me in many ways of Reckless, with the somewhat similar plot and characters (a woman with an unfaithful husband and a rogue leading man). I thoroughly enjoyed Me & Mrs. Jones and I have my own copy of Reckless and Reckless (The Sequel). There's nothing like a comic adult romance that turns out for the best. Hurrah! Plus Robson Green is absolutely irresistible!
Karen Sturgis
Windsor, CT
I just watched this excellent Masterpiece Theatre production, which is up to the usual high standards. Robson Green is such an excellent actor. It's a romantic fairy tale. I hope you do more.
Connie Acton
Walnut Creek, CA
I just watched Me & Mrs. Jones and I wanted to say that I was enthralled. I must admit that the image I had of Masterpiece Theatre was a bit dusty, but it looks like it's changing. It's good to see a little of what modern London is like. If the programming continues to be of this same genre, then I dare say you've got yourselves a new viewer. Cheers!
Randy Hsieh
Boston, MA
I loved the show.
Genevieve Hester
Pinckneyville, IL
I enjoyed the show very much, as I do most things I watch on PBS. I am particularly fond of British mysteries, and like British writing and acting. I have an MA degree in Theatre and find the more low key approach of the 'Brits' very nice.
Isabel Vandervelde
Aiken, SC
I enjoyed Me & Mrs. Jones and the Mystery! episodes Touching Evil. I hope you will continue to show movies and films starring this Robson Green. He's seems to be a great, interesting and exciting actor in whatever role he portrays.
Sue Meyer
Georgetown, TX
It is now 1:10 a.m., way past my bedtime, and I am on my computer writing about how much I enjoyed Me & Mrs. Jones. I had been out for the evening, having taped Masterpiece Theatre, and on returning started watching it, thinking I would watch for a bit and then go to bed. I couldn't stop watching! Like a good book, I couldn't put it down. Of course all Masterpiece Theatre episodes are excellent, but this was a modern day romance and was wonderful.
Kay Wynne
Mississauga, ON
I really enjoyed watching Me & Mrs. Jones on PBS this evening. As with many Masterpiece productions, it was excellent. I must admit to being a little biased, as I am a 'Brit' who has lived here in the United States for approximately twelve years. It's always nice to see a British production for many reasons including seeing British actors and the many scenes and views of Britain, and also for the very best in anything British! Not to take away from all the excellent shows produced here in the United States. I really get the best of both worlds! I would be interested to know if anyone else shares my feelings in this matter. Well-done PBS! I look forward to seeing much more in the future.
Penny Reigel
Scottsdale, AZ
Thank you for presenting Me & Mrs. Jones tonight. It was an absolutely brilliant love story. Once again, Masterpiece Theatre has shown a first class production. Please keep up the good work.
Angela Flear
Mississauga, ON
I always look forward to ANY Masterpiece Theatre program. They are a delight to watch! Tonight I watched Me & Mrs. Jones, and felt the tension build between the characters as though I was involved myself. The program kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the twists and turns that the show brought. It also doesn't hurt to have Robson Green as the lead. He can get me to the television set in a flash! Thank you for the wonderful work you produce.
Julia Paul
Charlotte, NC
How disappointing! The writing was predictable; it was almost a parody of the genre. The casting was disappointing, because the two leads have been great elsewhere, but here they were an unlikely and unattractive couple. Strike this feature from the archives. Nonetheless, Masterpiece Theatre is the highest quality presentation on television.
P. Trudeau
Dallas, TX
Any time I see an advertisement for a show on PBS that Robson Green is in, I have to see it. I think he is such a good actor, and the story is always interesting.
Patricia Croasdale
Manchester, NH
Robson Green is finally back! I have been anxiously awaiting his return to PBS. I was very excited to see Me & Mrs. Jones advertised on PBS. I am usually watching Clifford, Dragon Tales or Jay Jay. Thanks!

Comparison of Stretching Versus Strengthening for Increasing Active Ankle Dorsiflexion Range of Motion: Erratum
In the article that appeared on page 211 of the July–September 2009 issue, an author's name was omitted. The authors of the article should have appeared in this order: Richard J. Kasser, PT, PhD; Kevin Pridmore, MPT; Karen Hoctor, MPT; Leah Loyd, MPT; Matthew Washburn, MPT; F. Auston Wortman III, MPT, JD. This error has been noted in the online version of the article, which is available at www.topicsingeriatricrehabilitation.com.
Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation.
October/December 2009.
Purpose: Ankle motion at the talocrural joint is important for normal gait. Dorsiflexion, both active and passive, occurs during stance and swing phase, respectively. It has been found that about 10° of passive dorsiflexion is required during stance phase. During swing phase, the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg must be of sufficient strength to produce active dorsiflexion to near neutral (foot at 90°). Moderate lack of passive dorsiflexion results in early heel-off during stance phase. More extreme dorsiflexion limitations may result in overpronation at the subtalar joint. The purpose of this study was to determine an efficient intervention to increase active ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM).
Patients: Three groups of 9 healthy college students (27 in total, 54 ankles) were recruited for the study. Each volunteer signed an informed consent form. The patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups. The stretch group stretched the triceps surae using a rocker designed stretching system, the strength group strengthened isotonically the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg, and a control group received no intervention.
Methods: Patients in the strength group used a 10-lb ankle weight strapped to their forefoot and performed 30 repetitions each day, 5 days each week, for both lower extremities, for 6 weeks. The stretch group stretched for 30 seconds, 3 repetitions each day, 5 days each week, for 6 weeks. The control group maintained its prestudy activity level. Active ankle dorsiflexion ROM was measured prior to intervention and at 3 and 6 weeks. The same examiner who was blinded to group assignment did all measurements of active ankle dorsiflexion.
Analysis: A 1-way analysis of variance for repeated measures was done to determine whether a significant difference existed between groups. A post-hoc Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test was performed to determine which ROM measurements were significantly different. Significance level was P < .05.
Results: It was found for the strength group that the baseline active ankle dorsiflexion ROM measurement 4.2° was significantly different from the ROM measurement at 3 weeks, 6.6°, and 6 weeks, 7.1°. The stretch group baseline dorsiflexion ROM measurement 1.6° was not significantly different at 3 weeks (3.1°) but was significantly different at 6 weeks (4.2°). No significant differences were observed for the control group.
Conclusions: Active ankle dorsiflexion ROM was increased more quickly for the strength group than for the stretch group. The stretch group took 6 weeks to gain enough dorsiflexion to be significantly different from the baseline dorsiflexion ROM. Clinically, it may be appropriate for patients lacking ankle dorsiflexion to strengthen the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg along with a stretching program for the triceps surae muscles.

Today, I hang my head in shame. Attempting to keep the tears at bay & failing dismally, I contemplate ending it all & making that leap over the Brink Of Insanity. Surely I deserve such a fate, throwing myself in to the abyss, after a day that finally saw my children turn on me…nearly in unison, almost as one, declaring me the "worst Mommy ever!". And what was it that brought about this turn of events here in Crazy Town? What exactly was my crime? How could I, Martha Stewart Mommy, commit a parenting fail so epic as to suddenly be labeled persona non grata to my perfect little angels? Despite my despair & humiliation, I'd be remiss if I didn't impart this parenting wisdom, learned too late for me, in hopes of sparing you a similar tragedy.
There's A Storm Brewing…
It was a seemingly normal day. You hear that sometimes, how people never saw it coming. I had no idea there was a storm brewing on the horizon. The kids arrived home from school, & immediately headed off to their usual activities. The One I Butt Heads With on the computer with the phone growing out of her head, The Diva & The Baby off to the Barbie basket to fight over Edward, & The Boy up to his room & the lure of the X-Box. Being a cheer night, I started dinner early to ensure it was on the table by 5 p.m., & as I puttered at a pot of rice, I went through backpacks & agendas for the next day. The One I Butt Heads With, my 10 year old daughter, had an upcoming French test noted. I poked my head in to the adjoining room & reminded her of the rules. As our struggling student, with no interest & little effort put forth, she must complete homework prior to being on the computer or the phone. She barely passed a science test last week, having left the studying to the last minute, & when she shot me a "look" & stated the French test wasn't until Thursday, I reminded her of this & told her to get to it. And sadly, that was my fatal mistake. Out of nowhere, thunder clapped, the lights flickered, her head spun around 360 degrees, & a demonic screech came out of her mouth…"SHUT UP MOTHER!". As the words assaulted me, I realized the clapping thunder & flickering lights were the result of the blinding rage washing over me, & her head spinning round was merely a flash of fantasy in which I myself had knocked her silly. Because not only had this child just spoken to me like that, she was still on the phone with her little friend when she did it! The rest is a little hazy, but it involved deep breathing, counting to ten, & my own demonic hiss telling her to hang up the phone. As I shut down the computer, yanked the phone away from her, & tucked her iPod in to my pocket, I told her she had lost them all for the rest of the day, & she was to take her French to her room & study until dinner. "NO! I'm NOT studying!". "Do you want to lose the computer for the rest of the week? Keep it up." "SHUT…UP!" Fine, the rest of the week it is. "SHUT UP!". Well, there's the weekend, shall we keep going? "SHUT UUUPPPPPPP". Two weeks. By now, her face was purple, & I had, quite wisely, backed away from her so as to no longer be within smacking range…after noting my hand, seemingly of it's own accord, reaching out towards her. We went on like this, back & forth, eventually getting to four weeks with no computer or iPod. But by then, I'd had enough…those are the only things that ever keep this child quiet, without them, she is everywhere, fighting with everyone, & making the noise of ten kids. I'd never survive 5 weeks. I went over to her, put her French in her hands, & steered her by the shoulders to the stairs. She, of course, made sure to slam her feet through every step on her way up, & for added emphasis, slammed her door hard enough to rattle the windows…& my teeth…screaming, "I HATE YOU!!!!", at the top of her lungs. I slunk back to the kitchen, wondering how I'd missed the Dr. Phil episode warning me that if I enforced the rules & revoked privileges, my child would hate me. Thanks for nothing, you bald, hairy lipped bastard. I turn off the burner, & scoop out a spoonful of rice to cool down & taste test. Then it's off to the laundry room to switch loads, hoping these mundane tasks would help me push through the pain. I return to the kitchen to find the spoon on the floor & rice everywhere. The Diva is nonchalantly scrunched in to a corner of the couch with a book, while The Baby has just come in dragging all their sleeping bags behind her. Because I'm a Mom, I immediately deduce from the scene before me that The Diva had jumped up on to the counter to steal my spoonful of rice, it had proven too hot, causing her to drop it, scattering it everywhere, then, fearing trouble, tried to pull her usual, "Who, ME??" routine. As I inform her in no uncertain terms that I'm not buying it for a second, & begin to crawl around picking up rice, The Baby is suddenly spreading sleeping bags out all over the floor. I turn my grousing from The Diva to The Baby, & tell both of them to just skedaddle & stay out of my face until dinner. Now The Diva storms out of the room, in full blown diva fashion, screaming that I never let them do anything & all I ever do is yell at them not to make a mess. Damn that Dr. Spock for not including a chapter warning to never ever ask your kids to clean up their messes. If only I'd known what heartache that would cause. Sniffle. The Baby is hot on her trail, dragging the sleeping bags with her. As I poke through my dishwasher looking for kleenex…yes, my dishwasher is used as a cupboard, shut up…I turn to see The Baby has returned, & is apparently doing her best to look haughty. I'm dismayed to realize she's pulling it off. Clearly she has something to say. I wait. She crosses her arms & continues with the "look", though I can see the internal struggle all over her face. Finally she says this…"I hate you.". I counter with a look of my own, & say, "Pardon me?". She quickly says, "(The Diva) hates you. You're being mean to her.". I press her, "And you?". She hesitates, then says it again, "I hate you!". And stomps her little four year old feet out of the room & after her sisters.
Gone To The Dark Side…
And there it was…she is one of "them" now. I expect it won't be long before they organize a full blown mutiny, & oust me from my position as Mayor. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some sorrows to drown, some little girls to cold shoulder, & an abyss to throw myself in to.
The Mayor!

Peter and I were golfing buddies for years until one day he started asking me about my compensation. I refused to tell him for weeks until he mentioned he was in a tough situation, negotiating a package with a potential new employer and sought my advice as someone several years his senior.
As I stood over my ball, ready to attempt a 30 foot birdie putt, Peter chimes up, "Sam, you'd really be doing me a favor by letting me know, so I can go back and counter them in case they are low balling me." Peter then proceeded to tell me what he was making at which point I felt forced to reveal my income because he was so upfront. When I did, he quieted down, walked to the next hole and smacked his driver down the pipe.
"280 yards with only a sand wedge in!" I applauded after I missed my putt. "Hmprh", was the only sound that came out of his mouth as walked further and further away.
As weeks turned into months, I realized he no longer pinged me to play golf. It also turns out that he never took the new job offer and remains at his company 'til this day. Peter turned cold and I later found out that the reason why he never took the new job was because he countered them so high based on what he heard from me that they pulled the offer. Peter blames me for not getting the job and not making the money he feels he deserves to make. I have no control over what the potential suitor was willing to pay so why is it my fault?
I've known Peter for years, and it saddens me that we no longer hang out. He asked me to be his mentor when he first graduated from college, and his competitive drive drove him overboard. He compares everything from cars to property with everybody. As an example, he purchased a two year old Aston Martin Vanquish around his 30th birthday. All he had to do was buy a two year old Honda Civic and it would blow away what I was driving and most of our circle since we take the bus!
It was an absolute mistake revealing my income to him. I like to wear worn t-shirts and jeans, because I don't like to draw attention. In fact, perhaps this is why I so often wear baseball caps, so I can be left alone to do my own thing. Blending in is why I drive Moose, my 11 year old SUV that's worth $4,000. He's handsome and clean, but will never turn heads. It's the best feeling when people look at me and think I'm just a kid with very little.
I'm not going to apologize for making more than Peter when I was his age. I was just trying to help him out in his negotiation process as he wouldn't relent on asking. We could have come up with a strategy for negotiation, and use my figure as a realistic anchoring point for further talks with his potential new employer. Instead, he decided to huff and puff and curse the world for life's inequities.
* You can always play down your wealth.
* You can play up your wealth if circumstances dictate.
* You don't have to feel like you always have to pay because you make more.
* You can buy things and go on vacations in peace.
* You blend in with everybody else.
* If you make more than the average, nobody will envy you or try and take you down.
* You start associating your identity with your income.
* You might come across as arrogant and boastful.
* You lose ground in salary negotiations if you ever change jobs.
* People will start expecting things from you i.e. "Larry makes $10,000 a month, let him get the dinner tab!"
* You might get reported to the IRS agent who might think, "Oh really now?"
* You will be judged by everything you spend and don't spend your money on i.e. "You only donate that little to charity?" "How can you afford a $25,000 car when you only make $60,000 a year?" "You're 45 years old and still only make that little?" "You make that much and still drive a beater?" "You're selling the dream, and your client's dreams are failing." etc.
If for whatever reason, you just have to reveal your income to others, use this guideline to decide whether you should or not:
Reveal income if your income is equal to the median income of your peer group (industry, level, experience) up to +15% over. If you are making any more, then it's probably best not to reveal and speak in generality. Any income below 115% of the median income of your peer group is fine.
If your business model is making money by showing others how much money you can make by making money off others, really try and reach out to those who've bought your products and failed. Reimburse the occasional failure and set up some type of safety net fund or charity fund to help.
The next time someone tries to dig compensation information out of you, stand strong and don't reveal any details! Practice Stealth Wealth! If you must share info given the other party has bared their soul, talk in percentages and temper them while you are at it. The other strategy is to provide a wide range below and above his or her salary so as to appease some of his/her desire to know, without making them feel unsatisfactory.
Look around at the most financially successful people out there. You'll never see or read about them disclosing how much money they are pulling in. They are secure with themselves and understand the upsides of keeping their finances private.
I've recently tried out driving for Uber in 2015 because they are currently giving up to a $300 bonus after you make your 20th ride. After 125 hours and 53 rides, my gross pay is $36/hour, which is not too bad! I can see how people can easily make an extra $2,000 a month after commission and expenses with Uber or any ridesourcing company. I'd definitely sign up and drive until at least the bonus . Every time I plan to drive somewhere, like my main contracting gig down in San Mateo, I'll just turn on the Uber app to try and catch a fare towards the direction I'm going. Why not make extra money?
$36/hour is a huge pay cut for me and it's a humbling experience as well. But discovering the whole ridesourcing experience first hand is fascinating! I've got so many stories to share in the future about my experiences picking up random people. You can make $40,000 a year easily if you work a normal 40 hour a week shift based off my experience. The process is so easy to set up and they pay every Thursday!

Am I alone in thinking we need a curfew in this town?
I woke up recently to find my mail box smashed flat. Just one of many around town, I guess.
This latest wave of destruction is part of a problem that has been going on in Tucumcari for many years. I had visitors from back East a while back, and they could not believe our citizens put up with this constant destruction — broken windows, shot-out windows, slashed tires, on and on, for years!
And it seems nothing is ever done. No one is ever brought to justice.
When I was a teen in the 1950s I don't ever remember not being under a curfew. The curfew was 10:30 p.m. If you chose to vandalize property, your parents paid for the damages. And you paid.
I think it is time we changed this disgraceful situation.
