Then, as soon as the gate dropped, he would chase me around the entire track. Pops used to be fit back then. Anyone who ever rode at Escape Country [behind Saddleback Park] knows how many hills there were, and he used to follow me up all of them." His father's support didn't stop there. The two made a few of the amateur nationals in 1982 in the family truckster they called Betsy, an old pickup with a camper shell on it. They pulled a tent trailer behind that and strapped the bikes to the top of the trailer. The Antunez crew looked a little ragged at first, but Buddy finished fourth at the World Mini and then won several classes at Ponca City later that year. Those results helped him get a Team Green ride the following year. Antunez continued to be competitive for the next several years in the minicycle ranks with Team Green. In 1985, however, Buddy got an offer he couldn't refuse: Rudy and Dean Dickerson of R&D Racing offered him one of the spots on their minibike team. For the next five years, Antunez went on a tear, winning every mini race on the calendar. He is still considered one of the best 80cc riders ever. Antunez rode for Team Great Western Banks photo: Racer X Archives "R&D was the equivalent of having a factory ride in '80s," Buddy says. "Their bikes were total works bikes compared to anything else at the time. I think DMC had a pretty sweet bike back then, but Rudy and Dean's stuff was just amazing. Those guys made my days on an 80 really special. They were a huge part of the success I had." In 1990, Buddy turned 16 and signed with factory Suzuki. He won three 125 supercross main events in his first year and finished third in the series. He finished fifth in the national motocross series. The following year was rough for him, as injuries kept him off the bike for much of the year. He left Suzuki and signed with the newly formed Peak/Pro Circuit Honda team for the 1992 season. It turned out to be a good move. Buddy finished second in every single supercross race that year to his teammate—a guy named Jeremy McGrath. It was a good season, but the next year he was not eligible for 125 supercross and it cost him his ride. He was a privateer in 1993 on a Honda, logging consistent finishes. The next four years saw Buddy go from privateer team to privateer team, trying to get a break racing 250 supercross and 125 nationals. He finished as high as fourth overall in the outdoor national series with the Great Western Bank team in 1996. In 1997, Antunez made another brilliant career move. He took a privateer Honda and started racing the Mike Kidd arenacross series. Antunez went on a streak that still hasn't been broken, including more wins than any other rider in arenacross racing and five titles! Buddy is to arenacross racing what McGrath was to supercross: The King. In 2002, Buddy decided to give supercross and motocross one more try. His 125 eligibility had been reinstated and he signed with his longtime arenacross supporter, Suzuki, for the season. He finished a respectable fourth overall in supercross and seventh in the motocross series. The next two years were tough for Buddy, as the four-stroke era began to change racing as he knew it. The end of the 2004 season would be Buddy's last as a racer. In 2005 he started his own arenacross team with the help of Suzuki. He signed Shane Bess and Brad Hagseth, and for the next couple of years he ran a successful operation. He also worked with Nathan Ramsey in 2006 as a rider coach. Today, Antunez works for Suzuki as a representative. He is assigned to the Rockstar Energy team to help with testing and development of the bikes and also to help the riders with their programs. Buddy still rides on a semi-regular basis and has two kids, Bailey (11) and Boston (5). When he isn't working, he's hanging out with his wife, Shelley, and his family.

The Lantern
Young Alice Markham loves to read. When she walks into a strange book store and encounters the friendly woman who works there, however, she finds that there is a way to be too involved in a story.
A bell tinkled suddenly, as Alice Markham pushed open the heavy door. "Hello?" she called. "Hello? Is anyone here? The door was unlocked, so I came in. You're open, right?" There was no answer and slowly the little girl shuffled all the way inside. The door swung slowly shut behind her as she took another step forward. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around at the small bookshop she'd wandered into. It was near her school and she'd been curious about it for a long time. That afternoon, she'd finally decided to venture inside.
It seemed like the sort of shop she'd read or dreamt about - because, to all extents and purposes, it was perfect. Every dark, wooden shelf was filled with books; they were all in alphabetical order, their spines unbent and in pristine condition. The walls were painted a cool, welcoming blue, with a wallpaper border of books wrapped around at about adult shoulder height. There were even squashy reading chairs of various sizes scattered throughout the room. Alice let out a gasp of delight and tugged on the hem of her pastel pink shirt. "It's... it's perfect!" she whispered to herself, struck hard by the sentiment once again. Biting her bottom lip in an attempt to stopper her joy, she rushed over to the nearest book shelf and plopped down eagerly beside it, taking a book from the very bottom.
"Excuse me, dear. Were you calling?"
Alice gasped and dropped her book as a tall, middle-aged woman came around the corner. She picked it up and handed it back to the girl. Nervously, Alice took it.
The woman smiled. "Here you are. Now - how can I help you?"
"H-help? I... I was just looking."
"That's fine, dear. Look around as long as you like." She smiled again, her gray eyes sparkling behind her thick glasses. Her dark brown hair was slowly going to gray, and she had it tied back in a thick, misshapen bun. Her crisp, white blouse was tucked neatly into her pleated black pants, and the prim, ruffly collar was fastened with a black and white cameo brooch. She was exactly what a librarian - or book-seller - should look like, Alice thought. Her nervousness dissipated and with only a little hesitation, she returned the smile. "Where are your parents?" she asked suddenly, looking a little worried. "You aren't lost, are you?"
She shook her head. "I'm supposed to go to the daycare across from the school, but the kids there are mean. I wanted to come here instead and look at the books."
"Oh. Well then." She adjusted her thick glasses and gave another, warmer, smile. "You may stay here as long as you need to. What's your name, dear?"
"My name is Alice," she said, her voice small and quiet.
The woman knelt down beside and extended a hand. Alice stuffed her book under one arm and took the woman's hand in her own. "It's very nice to meet you, Alice," she said kindly. "My name is Mrs. Darling. I own The Lantern."
"The Lantern?"
Mrs. Darling laughed a little, covering her mouth with one long-fingered hand. "Oh, I'm sorry, dear! I should have explained. That's the name of this little shop. The Lantern. Illuminating lives with literature." She smiled even more broadly, her eyes closing.
Alice felt more and more at ease the more the woman spoke - her voice was that of an adult used to dealing with children: smooth, soft, and encouraging. "That's nice." She shifted slightly, crossing her legs and stuffing the book back onto the shelf. "Is..." She paused, looking down at the clean, pale yellow carpet.
"Go on, dear. What is it?"
"Is your name really Mrs. Darling?" she blurted out, her pudgy cheeks brightening with embarrassment. The book-seller nodded. Alice gasped with delight, clapping her hands together once. "That's... That's from Peter Pan! The Darlings!"
She laughed again, just a quick, polite little chuckle. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Alice. "You're very clever; that's right! Though I must admit, my name doesn't come from the book. It's just a very nice coincidence."
Alice still seemed very impressed. "Is it okay if I stay here and read?" she asked, her little hands in timid fists on her dirt stained knees. "Just for... for a little while."
"That's more than fine, my dear!" Mrs. Darling replied, standing up and brushing invisible dirt off her immaculate trousers. "Please - enjoy yourself. It's so good to see young ladies with a passion for the written word! Young people today have no appreciation for literature, it seems." And with that she left Alice to the books, peeping around the corner only once or twice just to check up on her.
The girl stayed there for two and a half hours, engrossed in an adventure novel about a courageous boy and his favorite horse. When finally she closed the book, she sighed in contentment. With some ceremony, she placed the book back on the shelf, looking at it and its brothers with something not far from reverence.
"I'm going home now. My mom's going to come and pick me up soon" she said to Mrs. Darling, who was manning the check-out counter. Alice stood on her tiptoes, hands clutching the edge of the counter. "Thank you for letting me read."
"It's no trouble at all. I know that really I'm running a business and I should be looking for customers, but..." Mrs. Darling sighed and took off her glasses, wiping them quickly with a small, gray cloth. She turned her head towards Alice and smiled. "I do like children, and you seem to love the books very much. So it will be our little secret, all right? Come in whenever you like."
"Really?" Alice's face plumped out in joy and she smiled broadly, bouncing happily in her small pink sneakers. "I can come any time? And just read? Oh, really?"
Mrs. Darling stared at her, eyes unreadable behind the big frames. "Oh yes, dear. Anytime."
After that, Alice came in to The Lantern at least once a week. The shop was almost always empty except for her and Mrs. Darling, so Alice felt no qualms about just finding a book and settling down to read. She was an extremely shy girl and it didn't seem at all odd to her that there were so few customers - in fact, she was glad of it.
"Here, Alice dear," Mrs. Darling said one afternoon. Alice was sitting in an oversized green armchair and she had just finished a new book. She looked up and grinned, a little gap in her smile where she had just lost a baby tooth. "I've found something that I think you'd like."
"What is it?" Alice asked, setting the book she'd just finished on a table off to one side.
"It's called Matilda and it's by Roald Dahl. It's about a very smart girl who also loves to read; it's a children's classic and I think it would be perfect for you."
Alice took the book with wide eyes, honored that Mrs. Darling - whose opinion on books she'd come to view as the highest - had chosen a book especially for her. "Thank you," she murmured, tracing her fingers in cobwebby lines over the cover. Immediately she dived in and by the end of her next visit she had finished it. After that, Mrs. Darling recommended A Little Princess and then Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which, she gently teased, featured Alice's own namesake.
And more than just sharing literature, Alice found the kindly book-seller to be a valuable friend. If she ever had a bad day, Mrs. Darling would always be there to lend a ready ear; and she seemed genuinely interested in helping Alice out. She came in one day, tears running down her cheeks, her coffee-and-milk complexion tinged with red.
"Oh! Alice! What's wrong?"
She settled down into her favorite chair, hugging her knees tight against her chest. "Th-the kids were... were picking on me again."
Mrs. Darling gasped. "Oh, no! Children can be so cruel. I'm so sorry, Alice. You should just ignore them."
"That's what my Daddy always says. B-but... It's hard. I want them to like me! I don't have any friends." She turned her wet face towards the older woman and smiled, lips just trembling. "Except for you, Mrs. Darling. You're my friend."
"Of course I am," she agreed, smoothing down Alice's thick, curly hair. "I'll always be here for you, Alice. I care about you."
Her schoolmates had a tendency to tease Alice; she was pudgy and so shy she could hardly speak, and her family didn't have much money. Some of the crueler children even jeered at her for having parents of different races. She didn't have any friends at school and she spent all the time she wasn't doing class work reading - which, of course, didn't create any favorable impressions with the other children. And her home life wasn't the best, either. Her parents loved her, but they fought, and her father spent most of his time at work, and drank when he got home. Alice wanted to play or talk with him, but he spent his evenings in front of the television set, not to be disturbed. And her mother was a neurotic, high-strung woman who, though caring and attentive, did not have the patience needed to befriend a child. Alice loved them and knew they loved her, but if she wanted companionship she had to find it outside her immediate family.
In halting narrative, over several visits, she explained as much to Mrs. Darling.
"That just isn't fair! Alice, you are a lovely girl, and I think that if only they would get to know you a little better, no one could possibly ignore you!"
Alice smiled a small, tentative smile. "Thank you," she whispered, wiping the tears away with one chubby hand. "You're really nice, Mrs. Darling. I'm glad you'll listen to me."
"Oh, I'm more than happy to listen, Alice! And you know what you deserve?" She took off her glasses and stared at Alice, her lips twitching in the first hints of a broad smile. The effect was somewhat startling; behind the glasses her eyes looked kind and wise. Now, suddenly, they had a sly, cunning gleam.
"Wh-what?" Alice asked, half-worried at hearing the answer.
Mrs. Darling let herself smile. "A happy ending."
With that she stood up and bustled away, asking Alice to wait just one moment. Alice watched her go to the back of the store, swinging her legs absently as she waited. The leather of the chair stuck to the backs of her legs, right where her denim shorts ended. A moment or two later, Mrs. Darling was back, one red leather-bound book cradled in her arms.
"I'd like you to read this one, Alice," she said, her pale cheeks turning a bright, eager pink in her excitement. "It's... it's a very special book."
With trembling hands she handed it to Alice. The girl took it and, after a nod of encouragement from Mrs. Darling, immediately started reading. It was a story of a boy in a situation much like Alice's. He loved reading, didn't have many friends, and his father had left his mother when he was a baby. It was a good story - until the very end. Instead of a conflict and climax with resolution like Alice was used to, the story just ended. Everything worked out for the boy and his life just suddenly and drastically improved. Alice didn't think it was a particularly good book.
"So," Mrs. Darling asked, running a tongue quickly over her lips, "did you enjoy it, my dear? Did you like it?"
Alice's smile faltered a little and she suddenly realized the meaning of the "little white lie." She coughed. "Oh, um... Y-yes. I thought it was very nice that the boy got to be happy in the end." Which was true, of course, but it hadn't made for a very interesting story. Mrs. Darling, however, seemed to think that it was one of the best stories ever; Alice had to wonder if maybe she'd read a different version.
"I'm so glad, my dear. I'm so very glad." Mrs. Darling petted Alice gently, running a hand over her hair before gently cupping her shoulder. "Everyone deserves a happy ending. And I like to make sure that everyone gets one."
Alice looked up at her, confused. "What do you mean, Mrs. Darling?"
"Oh, Alice..." She extended her hand and helped the little girl to her feet. "I'm so very glad you asked." She smiled her odd, excited smile and looked down at Alice with her gleaming eyes. "Would you like to see the back of the store, Alice? I keep my most precious books back there."
Mrs. Darling smiled again and then led Alice away.
A week later, a new customer entered the store. It was an adult this time, a large, dark-skinned man in a button-down shirt and khaki slacks. He looked troubled, circles under his eyes and his thick brows furrowed. With broad, confident strides, he walked up to the counter. "Excuse me, ma'am" he said, "but could I ask you a question?"
Mrs. Darling looked up, a little startled to be so baldly addressed. "Oh! Yes, of course, sir. Welcome to The Lantern."
He nodded away her pleasantries. "My name is Markham - Steve Markham. I heard that... that my little girl used to visit here. She's missing," he said, his eyes burning with worry and fear. "Her name is Alice; she's short, a little chubby, with a full head of curly hair. And she's always wearing pink - it's her favorite color." He paused for a moment to reign in his emotions. "I heard from one of the kids at her school that she used to come in here a lot after school."
"Alice? Why yes, that name does seem familiar. She used to come in here all the time! Oh, she loved reading."
His face fell. "She... used to come in here?"
"Yes," Mrs. Darling said sadly. "But I'm afraid that lately I haven't seen her. Oh dear, I hope nothing's happened to her; she was such a sweet little girl."
"Yeah, she... she really was." Mr. Markham sighed. "Well, thank you for your help. And please - if you see her, will you let me or the police know?"
Mrs. Darling smiled to herself, stroking the cover of a book bound in fresh pink leather. "Don't worry," she said softly, her stormy eyes gleaming. "If I see her, you'll be the first to know."

Sheryl Crow, Blondie and Lindsey Stirling Set for "Song by Song" This Fall
Fri, 08 Aug 2014 15:33:06
Sheryl Crow Photos
Sheryl Crow Videos
Ovation original series Song by Song will be back with some big names participating.
The network has ordered new blocks of the documentary music series with new episodes featuring Sheryl Crow, Blondie and Lindsey Stirling. That's three MAJOR reasons to tune in!
"Song by Song is a different twist on the music documentary genre. This series uses the featured artists' hit songs to tell the story of what was happening at that time in their lives, what inspired them to write the music and how their songs impacted their careers and popular culture," said a network exec. "Ovation had great success with our first two seasons, focused on legends Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. The series continues to grow and cross musical genres and eras with Sheryl Crow, Blondie and Lindsey Stirling, and we couldn't be more excited to work with these cultural icons."
Ovation will kick off the new season this October with Song by Song: Sheryl Crow, focusing on the singer/songwriter's hits "Strong Enough," "If It Makes You Happy," "My Favorite Mistake," and "Redemption Day."
Song by Song: Blondie will premiere this November, featuring the pop/rock/punk super-group's mega hits "One Way or Another," "Heart of Glass," "Call Me," and "Rapture." Founding band members Deborah Harry, Chris Stein and Clem Burke are interviewed.
We are SO tuning in.
Also, Song by Song: Lindsey Stirling will focus on the classically trained electronic violinist, performance artist and composer who has become an Internet sensation since first launching her YouTube channel, Lindseystomp, in 2007, which now has over 5 million subscribers. With over half a billion YouTube views, Stirling has become one of the biggest artist-development breakthrough stories in history.
Again, a third reason we are SO tuning in.
Who will tune in?
—Amy Sciarretto

PeopleBrowsrŌĆÖs case against Twitter heads back to state court after federal court ruling - The Next Web
Rohit Khare stashed this in Startups

I want to hear what the lawyers who drafted the contract have to say. I can't believe the debate over termination-for-convenience has gone this far... guess I don't understand the law, or the risk of putting ToS cases in front of CA courts.
PeopleBrowsr feels genuinely wronged:
PeopleBrowsr, a social analytics service for marketers and parent company to social influence service┬ĀKred, sued Twitter last year alleging that it had unfairly lost access to the Twitter firehose.┬ĀThe lawsuit claimed that Twitter receives more than $1 million per year from PeopleBrowsr for access based on an agreement the companies had in June 2010.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The executive director works full-time for the non-profit, but can the other two board members be paid on a contract basis for their knowledge and skills, since that is why we wanted them to join with us in the first place? OR is that a conflict of interest to the IRS?
Of course they can be employees of the organization and in fact in most instances they will be. There is no problem with that and the people that operate the non-profit are not expected to do so for free. I mean, the Director of the Red Cross makes millions per year and the President of my NFP undergrad college made over 500K.
You just need to make sure that the salaries that are paid are reasonable for the position.

Yes, it is okay for nonprofit organizations to pay its directors who work for the organization.
Usually nonprofits should not pay board members for "knowledge and skills" solely in their capacity as directors. But if the individuals are using their knowledge and skills in actually providing services to the organization, they may be compensated reasonably. The IRS would want the nonprofit to determine what is reasonable compensation based on what others are paid in similar situations (i.e., doing similar work for similarly situated nonprofits).
There is a potential for a conflict of interest or an "excess benefit transaction" whenever the activities of a tax exempt organization benefit the private interest (compensation) of an officer or director of the organization. The nonprofit organization should adopt a conflict of interest policy and should follow the policy diligently. The IRS publishes a sample conflict of interest policy.
Finally, be sure to consider carefully whether the contracted workers are independent contractors or employees. See IRS guidance on this issue, as well.

While I agree with the other answers given (compensation needs to be reasonable, services need to be necessary, etc.), one problem inherent with this type of situation is setting appropriate compensation. Certainly the individual should not vote on his or her own compensation; however, where the entire board is "interested" (i.e. receiving compensation), I suggest the board take care to document how it arrived at the compensation amounts (comparable salaries paid by similarly situated charities for example).Ask a similar question

Is industrialization advantage or disadvantage?I want to write an essay,so need explanation.
7 Answers | Add Yours
One big advantage to industrialization is that over time it tends to raise the standard of living for most of the people in a society. Machines can be used to do the more dangerous and physically demanding types of work, which saves lives and injuries. Industrialized nations tend to have better health care systems, and there is more money to build infrastructure, such as roads, power distribution networks, schools, and communications systems.
As far as disadvantages, I agree with post #3 about social disruption, and industrialization and the things it brings with it also usually create pollution, fragmentation of natural habitats, and general environmental degradation.
It's both, I suppose.
Economically, it's a major advantage to go from pre-industrial to industrial. That is how every economy that is now strong has built itself. Manufacturing is a relatively high value-added sector and can create a middle class that can drive economic development in a country.
Socially and perhaps environmentally, it can be a bad thing. Industrialization tends to pull people out of villages and into cities. This can disrupt social networks and cause people to feel much more alone in the world. This change can upset the whole culture of a country.
it can be good as it offers job opportunities , enhancing home development for better living conditions. Striking out improvished communities , reduce marginalization, and close the gap between the wealthy and the poor. It provides experience for the trained youth or the young adult who have just graduated from university with limited skills, here is the opportunity to enhance one's skill. Children can feel more secure knowing that their parents can provide for their education , their nutritional needs, health care and above all provide the youth with a brighter and better future.
However, there is the fear of the negative impact it may have on society as some parents in their quest for a better tomorrow the next generation is neglected. An older sibling most times a teenager girl may be left in charge to manage household demands plus her own education, taking on early parental role. This may prove very stressful for the young child. She may pass on values which could either make or break the remnants of the family. Sometimes children get exploited at an early age destroying their self esteem; Marring their moral slate, warping their minds and destroying the very fabric of the society which is the home.
While industrialization is good many dive into it seizing every moment and every opportunity it offers without considering the negative impact. Without planning it can carry with it a heavy back lash.
i guess everything has its pros and cons... the most obvious advantage of industrialisation is the advancement in technology that makes our life easier and improves our lives. also, there are a number of disadvantages such as pollution from factories. i agree with #3 and #5.
both advantage and dis advantages also

The official PASS blog provides all the latest announcements, developments, and informative updates from the PASS Board. The blog is updated regularly, so please check back often or subscribe to be advised when new posts are published.
By Erin Stellato
Cross-posted from Erin's The SQL Sequel blog
August 8, 2013 – Yesterday, August 7, was the last day to submit applications for the PASS Board of Directors election. I have the honor of serving on the Nomination Committee this year, and while there is very little I can disclose, I do want to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to those that submitted an application for a Board of Directors position.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the application, I know it can be daunting.
Thank you for taking the time to think through what you want to see happen as a Board member. Whether you are elected or not, I hope that you will still endeavor to make those things happen.
Thank you for talking to your friends and colleagues and asking them to be references for you (and thank you to those that agreed to do so).
And thank you, in advance, for committing additional time to meet with the NomCom to share your story and your goals.
When you run for any office, or any board, in any arena, you take a risk. You become vulnerable, and you put your own name out there for discussion. That takes courage, and I applaud all of you for stepping forward and taking a risk so that you may serve the SQL Server community as a member of the PASS Board. I wish all of you the best, and I am confident that three very qualified individuals will fill the Board positions this year. Good luck!

July 26, 2013 – Last week's Executive Committee election saw myself (Thomas LaRock), Adam Jorgensen, and Denise McInerney join the 2014 PASS ExecCo team as President, Executive Vice President Finance, and Vice President Marketing, respectively. Along with Bill Graziano as Immediate Past President, we will serve the community for 2 years beginning January 1, 2014.
As part of the ExecCo elections process, we were asked to outline and discuss our vision for PASS for the next 2 years and beyond. When the elections were over we compared notes on the handful of items we feel are most important. The ones we believe deserve the most attention include:
Thoughtful comments and questions in a recent blog post by Kevin Kline spurred this post. Kevin mentions two additional initiatives he'd like to see the new ExecCo focus on: a better volunteer structure and process and improved utilization of social media.
A PASS Volunteers portfolio was established at the start of the year, headed by PASS Board Director Sri Sridharan. Efforts are underway to better help PASS identify active volunteers and to provide a mechanism for PASS HQ and community leaders to publish volunteer opportunities. Look for updates on this project during PASS Summit 2013.
Kevin's comments about PASS's use of social media have not gone unnoticed, and the marketing team is looking at ways to take better advantage of all social media opportunities. You can expect to see more of PASS through various social media channels over the next 2 years.
So what are your thoughts about the direction we're working on for PASS? Have feedback or suggestions? Drop the 2014 ExecCo Elect a note with your comments or post a response below.

July 18, 2013 – The PASS Board of Directors elected a new Executive Committee today at the in-person Board meeting in Kansas City. The following officers were elected to a 2-year term that begins on January 1, 2014. Congratulations to:
Current PASS President Bill Graziano will remain on the ExecCo as Immediate Past President.
According to the PASS bylaws, any PASS Board member can stand for the Executive Vice President and Vice President, Marketing roles. The role of President must be filled by a Board member who has previously served one term as a PASS Board officer.
A reminder that applications for three seats on the PASS Board open next week – watch for the announcement on July 24. If you have a passion for the PASS community and desire to serve our members, we encourage you to apply. To learn more about why you should run for the PASS Board, check out these sound bites from current and former directors.

May 28, 2013 – With the election season for the PASS Board of Directors fast approaching, there will be three seats up for grabs in September. These seats will represent US/Canada, EMEA, and one open seat. As such, the Nomination Committee (NomCom) will reflect the composition of the 2013 Board elections. The NomCom will be composed of five members and chaired by Immediate Past President, Rushabh Mehta. One of these positions will be filled by a member of the Board of Directors, and the final three members of the NomCom will be elected by the PASS community.
Being a member of the NomCom is an exciting opportunity. Members of the NomCom get a behind-the-scene experience with the Board of Directors election process, using their knowledge and previous volunteer experience with PASS to review applications for candidacy of the Board according to process and criteria outlined by the Board of Directors. Once complete, the NomCom then presents a list of recommended candidates to the Board of Directors, which then approves the final slate.
Think you might be up for the job? The NomCom election process starts with an application, opening June 12 and closing June 19. Stay in the know and watch the next issue of the Connector for application information.

April 16, 2013 – Last week was important for PASS. Not only did we hold our first Business Analytics Conference, but the PASS Board of Directors also unanimously passed two motions that enable PASS to take the next steps in growing the organization's international reach and influence.
Our focus was to increase the international makeup and perspective of the PASS Board, by voting to:
With the EMEA slot, the 2013 elections will have two seats reserved for specific regional representation: one for the US/Canada and one for EMEA. The recent PASS by-law changes already convert one Director-at-Large seat to a regional seat specifically designated for the US/Canada region every other year. However, the Board had to vote separately to convert another Director-at-Large seat to an EMEA seat.
By aligning the three elected NomCom community seats to match the Board seats that will be up for election this year, we help encourage balance, international influence, and local investment in both the NomCom and the Board elections.
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and suggestions about streamlining and improving our elections process for candidates and members alike.
As we focus on engaging more qualified candidates and a more invested, involved electorate, we will also create a PASS election ethics and process guidelines document. It will address and clarify existing processes so that community members and candidates know what is expected of them and what to expect during the elections.
With these important steps toward gaining more international perspective on the PASS Board and improving and refreshing our elections processes, I think we can all expect great things.
Thank you for your time,
April 2, 2013 – Serving on the PASS Board of Directors is a rich and rewarding experience. It's also a responsibility that should not be entered into lightly. As we prepare for this year's elections season, we have the opportunity to review the process for involving and evaluating candidates and for taking full advantage of this chance for the community to come together and share in the vision for PASS.
As part of a lean, not-for-profit, community organization, we must also evaluate the time invested in the election process to protect the return on community investment. With this in mind, a subset of the PASS Board is leading a review of the election process, and we are seeking your feedback on these objectives and their direction.
The objectives set out by the committee are threefold:
These objectives may expand or contract based on your feedback. Please share your thoughts with the team by emailing email@example.com or by posting on the Elections Feedback site.
Achieving Success
The team has also given serious consideration as to how these objectives may be achieved. We would like to get your input on these proposals too as we will discuss them at the next board meeting, which will take place in Chicago on the 8th-9th of April. We are continuing to shape our plans and ideas, and commit to open communication as we move forward in the coming weeks and months with changes to the election process.
Inspiring Candidates
Of the goals identified, this is the most important one to me. We do need to inspire more well-qualified community members to apply and share their experience at the board level. We are also keen to ensure that we attract an international audience. It is important to remember that as part of the Global Growth program, we will have at least one regional seat in 2013 (for the US and Canada). I will also be asking the board to vote in the April Board Meeting to create the EMEA regional seat.
Our focus at this time is to:
As part of his work with the new Volunteers portfolio, Sri Sridharan has taken up the challenge to identify ways to encourage members to apply for the board. We realise we cannot simply wait for people to apply nor rely on our own networks. We must make it clear what the benefits of being part of the board are and also outline the commitments involved.
We can make two significant improvements to the application process that will make it less onerous for candidates:
Finally, by providing a more structured program of events and activities during the campaigning process, we can make it easier for candidates to be heard. It also helps to level the playing field.
Streamlining the Election Process
There are a number of changes we are thinking about to streamline the overall process. By shrinking the timescales, we aim to inject greater interest and enthusiasm into the election process. It is difficult to sustain interest when a process is drawn out. We believe we can optimise the schedule to really help drive interest with these changes:
Part of the NomCom's workload is driven by the data they are provided by the candidates. We need to ensure that simplifying the application process for the candidate doesn't dramatically increase the workload of the NomCom. In an ideal world, the workload would be reduced for both parties – so that is the goal.
Improving Opportunities for Community Engagement
To date, the opportunities for the community to engage with candidates have been limited to the PASS election forums. We are looking to improve this area significantly and hope to share more with you in due course. Wendy Pastrick will be spearheading this area of the initiative. Items under consideration are as follows:
By improving the accessibility of campaign materials and providing greater public interaction with candidates, we aim to significantly increase the engagement level between candidate and community during the election process.
We are in the process of defining what this is all going to look like. However, you should expect much greater use of social media, such as hosted Twitter Q&As with candidates, to really drive a deeper, more personal and impactful campaigning period in this election.
INSERT <Your Idea> HERE
Being on the PASS Board is a fantastic experience, but it does not give anyone sole rights to good ideas! Please share yours with us. Feel free to post them to the Elections Feedback site or in private via the email@example.com email alias.
Thank you for your time,
Last week, the PASS Board of Directors ratified the official slate for the 2012 Board of Directors General Election. It's my pleasure to announce the candidates for three Board seats up for election, listed in the order of their Nomination Committee (NomCom) ranking:
• James Rowland-Jones
• Sri Sridharan
• Allen Kinsel
• Wendy Pastrick
• Kendal Van Dyke
The NomCom began evaluating applicants for the PASS Board in August, carefully reviewing each application and interviewing each applicant. Now, it's up to the community to decide who will fill three 2-year terms on the PASS Board.
As PASS's Immediate Past President, I can tell you that it takes a lot to be effective on the PASS Board. And as Chair of the NomCom, I can tell you that all the candidates have valuable leadership experience and are "PASSionate" people. To decide which candidates you want to lead your organization, especially as PASS continues its rapid growth, it is important to research and evaluate each candidate. You can learn more about each candidate on the 2012 Elections' Candidates page.
The elections forums and campaigning are open now, and voting will take place September 28 to October 12. If you were a PASS member before June 1, 2012, you are eligible to vote and will receive a ballot by email. The top three vote getters will be elected and will begin their terms January 1, 2013.
I encourage you to have your say – both in the elections forums, where candidates will be replying to your questions, and by voting. Good luck to all the candidates, and happy voting everyone!
Rushabh Mehta,
Immediate Past President/NomCom Chair
Several years ago, someone gave me some advice that changed my life. Now, I'd like to pass it on: "You should run for the Board."
The year was 2006. I was at PASS Summit in Seattle, talking with someone about PASS when they made that comment. Until then, I had been involved with the PASS Special Interest Groups (SIGs, now called Virtual Chapters), but I wasn't well known in the PASS community as a whole. I looked over the requirements for serving on the Board of Directors, talked a bit about it with then PASS President Kevin Kline, and in the summer of 2007, I submitted my first application for the PASS Board. (I wasn't elected that year, but ran again and joined the Board in 2009.)
I can say with all sincerity that applying for (and ultimately serving on) the PASS Board has been one of the most rewarding things I have done as a database professional. I've had the opportunity to learn so much by serving the PASS community as a Board member, including leadership and presentation skills, budgets and finance, and communication and marketing strategies. Serving on the Board has made me a better person, and I hope along the way I've been able to help others improve their skills, careers, and overall well-being.
I believe SQL Server professionals have tremendous opportunities to grow themselves simply by being members of or volunteers with PASS. They can grow technically (such as learning more about SQL Server Reporting Services) and non-technically (by leading a Virtual Chapter, for example). It is important that we continue to offer such opportunities to develop leaders within the PASS community. Serving on the Board of Directors is one of those non-technical ways you can grow, and for some reason most folks are uncertain if they are right for the Board.
Today is the deadline for applying for 3 seats up for election on the Board. (You can see the complete 2012 elections timeline here.) If you are on the fence about applying, or are interested but aren't sure if you are good enough, let me help you decide:
You should run for the Board.
Big thanks to the nearly 1,400 PASS members from 57 countries who made their voices heard in the 2012 Nomination Committee (NomCom) election. And congratulations to Stefanie Higgins, Angela Henry, and Jason Strate, who are joining NomCom Chair Rushabh Mehta and Board of Directors representative Thomas LaRock on the committee to manage this year's PASS Board of Directors general election.
A total of 1,339 voters cast 3,603 votes in this year's active NomCom election, featuring a slate of 12 incredible candidates. For comparison, 1,951 PASS members voted in the 2011 Board of Directors election.
The NomCom's role includes finalizing the Board of Directors election application, interviewing and ranking candidates, and putting forward the final slate for Board approval and community vote. Applications for the three open PASS Board Director-at-Large seats will open July 25.
To learn more about the 2012 NomCom election results and preview the upcoming Board of Directors general election, see the PASS Elections page. The discussion forums will be closed until the Board elections open, but if you have any questions or concerns, please contact PASS HQ.
Congratulations again to Stephanie, Angela, and Jason. And a special thank you to Louis Davidson, Mark Ginnebaugh, Ryan Adams, Mark Broadbent, Dave Schutz, Neil Hambly, John Morehouse, Nicholas Cain, and Rick Heiges for their enthusiastic candidacies in this year's NomCom election.
It's your turn! Voting opens today for three community seats on the 2012 PASS Nomination Committee (NomCom), which will manage the Board of Directors general election. Thanks and good luck to all 12 candidates who applied for this important role.
All applicants have been vetted by NomCom Chair Rushabh Mehta, and in compliance with Election Review Committee recommendations, the slate is being put forward for community vote to decide who will join Rushabh and Board member Thomas LaRock on this year's five-member NomCom.
The 2012 NomCom candidates are:
Secure, individualized ballots are being emailed today to all PASS members in good standing as of June 1, 2012, and all ballots must be submitted by noon PT on June 22. The ballot allows you to choose up to three candidates you feel will best serve PASS as part of the NomCom.
NomCom members will review applications for the 2012 PASS Board election, check references, and interview and rank the applicants who wish to run for the PASS Board. Volunteer experience and a good understanding of PASS as an organization are critical to success on the NomCom. Check out the Nomination Committee page to learn more about the candidates and the NomCom's role in the PASS elections process. If you have any questions or concerns about the NomCom election, please contact PASSHQ.
Thanks in advance for taking time to participate in the NomCom election and the running of your organization – and good luck again to all NomCom candidates. Happy voting!

In Pari Delicto: Can A Law Make It Go Away?By Francine • Jul 27th, 2013

Early Returns: Scott London, KPMG and Another Partner Trading On Inside InformationBy Francine • Apr 15th, 2013
This is the fourth big insider trading case in the least few years against a senior tenured partner that betrayed the public's trust. In none of the cases did the firm's "extensive" and "comprehensive" independence compliance programs spot the behavior or the illegal actions. Stay tuned. There will be much more to this story, I guarantee.
E&Y, Their Audit Client Wal-Mart, and Value PricingBy Francine • Mar 23rd, 2013
This post about Ernst & Young's aggressive tax advice to audit client Wal-Mart was originally posted October 29, 2007. It's worth everyone – I'm talking to you SEC and PCAOB – taking another look at this given Wal-Mart's new Mexican bribery problems and the SEC investigation of Ernst & Young for tax lobbying to audit clients. (Ernst & Young has been silent and left out of most media discussion about Wal-Mart's FCPA problems in Mexico and elsewhere.)
Tax Pays: HP Pays Ernst & Young Two Million To TestifyBy Francine • Feb 18th, 2013
The issue of tax avoidance by corporations is a hot one. In the US and in the UK, legislators and pundits seeking "tax justice" have changed the discussion from one of tax breaks that stimulate "jobs and growth" to one of tax fairness to provide much needed funds for public works and public commitments in times of economic hardship. The Big Four audit firms play all sides like a fiddle.
Foreclosure Settlement Shuts Down Reviews: Banks Will Continue Business As UsualBy Francine • Jan 13th, 2013
It's easy to forget, with all the propaganda being published by major media, why these Fed/OCC consent decrees were issued in the first place. The fact that a borrower may be in default does not negate the overwhelming evidence that court cases have provided that banks proceeded fraudulently and illegally in some foreclosures and looted those borrowers and institutional investors in mortgage securities by charging fraudulent and illegal fees in the process.

My column at American Banker last week focused on the latest PCAOB inspection report for KPMG. We've got three more "Big Four" inspections reports to come – Ernst & Young, Deloitte and PwC.

We have a lot of students at Globe University-Minneapolis that like to ride their bike to campus. Unfortunately, many bike commuters have to worry about preventing bike theft, especially when they are students who have to leave their bike unattended while attending class. Here are some tips on how you can be proactive and prevent bike theft.
When you lock your bike up in any outdoor area, you always take a risk. There will be individuals no matter where you go that will try to steal your bike. Here are some tips to protect yourself:
1) Take any removable parts with you: Typically, a thief will not just go after the frame. If you take any removable parts with you, you are discouraging a thief from targeting your bike.
2) Locks, part I: When locking your bike, use more than one bike lock. A chain/cable to lock onto pole or bike rack, and a U lock to lock the wheels and frame together. This allows a thief less movement if their goal is to steal your bike.
3) Locks, part II: Look into a good lock company, like kryptonitelock.com. This company offers a warranty and anti-theft protection with certain lock purchases.
4) Locks, part III: When locking your bike, make sure the locking area is thick, and it is directly mounted into the ground with no separate parts that can be unbolted. There are designated bike racks located right outside of the IDS Center that are utilized by many people on a daily basis.
5) Sacrifice the ease of quick release levers: Get a pair of bolt-on levers. These are only accessible if the thief has an allen wrench and are more complicated for a thief to steal. In a heavily populated area like Downtown Minneapolis, people are constantly walking by and although your bike might be out of your own sight, chances are there are many people walking near where your bike is locked up. Keep it locked up in a high traffic area. Thieves do not want witnesses.
Remember: there is always a risk when you leave your bike locked up unattended anywhere. There are, however, steps you can take to protect yourself from being a victim of bike theft. We hope that you will keep these tips in mind next time you decide to bike in to campus!

"Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated / there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus."

Your Cadillac dealership isn't the only place to buy the best repair parts to fix your Series 85. Auto enthusiasts know that luxury is built into each Cadillac, and know that only top quality repair Series 85 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Distributor Cap to repair your automobile. Anyone who drives a Cadillac knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do.

One durable part in your Cadillac Series 85 engine that will not last forever is your distributor cap. It has posts on the top where the spark plug wires connect. When the ignition coil sends current to the rotor underneath the Cadillac Series 85 distributor cap, whichever post is making contact with the rotor will be charged and current will be sent to the appropriate wire.
When your Cadillac needs a new replacement Distributor Cap, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Let's assume that Obama had nothing to do with it, that means that the IRS is setting its own agenda.
Isn't that actually worse than if Obama is controlling the IRS?
Two years after activists for same-sex marriage obtained the confidential tax return and donor list of a national group opposed to redefining marriage, the Internal Revenue Service has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit.
The Daily Signal has learned that, under a consent judgment today, the IRS agreed to pay $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage as a result of the unlawful release of the confidential information to a gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign, that is NOM's chief political rival.
"Congress made the disclosure of confidential tax return information a serious matter for a reason," NOM Chairman John D. Eastman told The Daily Signal. "We're delighted that the IRS has now been held accountable for the illegal disclosure of our list of major donors from our tax return."
The Daily Signal is seeking comment on the settlement from the IRS and Justice Department.
Update: At 5:28 p.m, IRS spokesman Bruce I. Friedland emailed: "Privacy law, specifically Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, prohibits us from commenting."
In his order entered this morning, District Court Judge James C. Cacheris granted the settlement of NOM's suit against the IRS, which was represented by the Department of Justice.
In February 2012, the Human Rights Campaign posted on its web site NOM's 2008 tax return and the names and contact information of the marriage group's major donors, including soon-to-be Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. That information then was published by the Huffington Post and other liberal-leaning news sites.//

99 STS trans fluid
which should i use, ours is a little low and i want to top it up with the correct fluid, i presume its not what my BMW 3 series uses?
Re: 99 STS trans fluid
Dexron III.
I think GM now has a Dexron IIII or V (can't remember which) but it is compatable.

Re: 99 STS trans fluid
There's a Dex 4, but it's only at dealers as far as I know, and it's also expensive. They claim it's one of those "Lifetime" fluids. If your BMW 3 series has a GM Hydramatic trans, you can use the BMW fluid. If it's the ZF, you can't. I mean you could flush out all the Dexron fluid in your Cadillac and convert to Esso LT71141, but at $20-30/L... I wouldn't. Just so you know, do not EVER put GM Dexron in a BMW that doesn't use it. There's a TSB for the E38 7 series regarding transmission malfunction eventually leading to failure resulting from the installation of GM trans fluid, even as a top off. It's somehow not compatible with BMW's ZF transmission clutch material.

Ever since I wrote my post about getting rid of the mom uniform for the Secret Style Suite contest from Mom's Fashion File, I've been feeling a little more schlubby than usual. There's something about realizing that I wear the same thing every day that made me a wee bit ashamed. Seriously, I used to be something of a fashion plate. Have I really descended so far into rutville that I need to call in fashionistas to rescue me.
Looking at my closet this morning, my answer was yes. But the mom uniform doesn't work as well in the summer. And there was the ad from Target staring up at me while my kids screamed at me. So I shoved them my husband's way and set off for some clothes trying on and some mindless aisle browsing for good measure.
I limited myself to the Merona stuff on sale. Because if I don't limit myself at Target I end up browsing the clearance aisle and buying clothes for lives I don't lead. Like this hot pink strapless dress which will hopefully make an appearance at BlogHer. Because it's a little much for the playground. I managed to pick up several things to mix and match, all for the low price of $75 (with a coupon.) Woo! I should be cool literally if not cool figuratively during my summer of full time hands on parenting.

SI.com's Peter King wrote in his Monday Morning QB post that, "There's no clear best team in football after four weeks, but Baltimore's the best, for my money."
While he does credit the Ravens he also states that the Steelers and Jets should be considered a close second, but he picks the Ravens because "I think after four weeks they can win games in more ways than any other team."
My favorite part of King's section on the Ravens is when he talked with Joe Flacco after the game: "You ever think you'd see a receiver running wide open in the end zone, in this stadium?'' I asked him.
"No,'' he said. "Not even close. That doesn't happen. But when he froze on the little pump, I knew it'd be open.''
King also talks about how big Lardarius Webb played in this game and credits the secondary for the win. King points out that Baltimore's allowing 119.0 passing yards per game, which is the stingiest in the NFL. He is surprised by those numbers, which I'm pretty sure the rest of us are too.
It's nice to get some credit from the national media. Check the whole column out it you'd like, it's worth the read.
