Originally, Jason Washburn wasn't a believer.
He wasn't on board with Larry Krystkowiak. He missed departed coach Jim Boylen, a man he loved playing for. He was skeptical of the new regime, and it wasn't difficult to figure that out.
"Those first few months were a bit strained," Krystkowiak recalls.
On Saturday night when Utah travels to Washington, the Utes will start Washburn at center. He is now an all-conference candidate with three double-doubles in five Pac-12 Conference games. He is now at the center of every opponent's scouting report.
While what's happened between early last year and now has been quite a leap for Washburn, the relationship between coach and player has made just as big, if not bigger, of a jump. The two have gone from being at odds to becoming close in action and philosophy.
Washburn has gone from resisting to being one of the biggest supporters of Krystkowiak among the players.
"When he first came here, it took me a while to adjust," Washburn said. "Coach is a very action-oriented person. He doesn't talk a whole lot. Once I figured out what he wants, I think our relationship took off. I consider him a great coach and a friend."
Krystkowiak made his name in the NBA as a rough-and-tumble power forward in the paint. He's always had a nose for rebounding the ball. He's always had a soft touch from the perimeter. What he lacked in talent, he made up for in toughness and intangibles.
His ability to produce big men in his coaching career has been notable as well. He's employed tough love on Washburn, has yanked him when he hasn't played hard, has yelled at him through inconsistency.
And it's worked. Washburn has evolved into a leader. The improvements to his game have been dramatic. Against Arizona State, Washburn kept Utah in the game, outplaying Jordan Bachynski while scoring 19 points and grabbing 18 rebounds.
He did much of the same against Arizona, outplaying a much more publicized Wildcats frontcourt in the process. Not many saw this outburst coming, as Washburn lost his spot in the starting lineup to Dallin Bachynski in November.
Instead of pouting, Washburn played harder, won his job back and has thrived ever since.
"Jason has come a long way, even since the beginning of the season," Krystkowiak said. "We talk a lot off the court, and we feel the same way about a lot of things. He's a guy that I'm very happy for and a guy that's easy to root for because of everything he has endured."
Sometimes during warmups, Washburn will say something to Krystkowiak that leads him to believe Washburn could make a good coach someday. Once thought to be one of the more immature players in the Utah program, Washburn has evolved into an unquestioned leader of the 2013 Utes.
The losing has been tough, difficult for all involved. But Washburn has refused to succumb to negativity, pointing out that he has two months remaining in his college career and that he fully intends to make the most of it.
When he leaves the program, though, he won't lose contact with Krystkowiak.
"We've developed enough of a friendship that I will always feel comfortable coming back and talking to him, or calling him to seek his advice," Washburn said. "He's been a great coach for me and has helped my game in a lot of ways."

Lou agreed, until the photographer suggested that Dahlgren pose in a fielding position at first base, with Lou cheering him on.
One afternoon, with [Babe] Dahlgren near him in the dugout, a photographer asked Lou if he could take a photo of the two of them.
McCarthy, fearful that Lou might fall, had whispered to Dahlgren, "Catch him if he starts to go down."
Dahlgren was only about thirty miles south and just nicely took up the climbing time.
Then, by way of interlude, on the 28th March, came the notorious Dahlgren raid.
A few mortars stood in position by the river side, and there were Parrott, Griffin, and Dahlgren pieces in the shore batteries.
But for the Dahlgren guns, with two vents, some other plan is better.
The galleys "rammed" each other at Actium; but there was no Dahlgren or Sawyer to thunder from their decks or turrets.
The raid of Dahlgren and Kilpatrick had sent a thrill of horror through Richmond.
Dahlgren can only send 11 and 15 inch shells to crush the enemy; brother politician Seward can be useful for some scheme.

Yes, it does sound like you may be beating the batter too much. Follow your recipe/mix instructions exactly, using a timer to beat the correct amount of time. You might also want to check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. Sometimes an incorrect oven temperature can cause the cake to rise too quickly or too slowly, resulting in some larger holes in the baked cake layer.

Johnny Goes To Soundwave Brisbane
So I went to Soundwave Brisbane 2011. That's right, the fat bearded geek went to Soundwave.
First off, big thanks to the guys from Eden Must Burn for the invite. Rad gents all of them… and major props to Liz for driving. There is a reason I'm a fan of these people, and it goes way beyond their music.
So, classic fish out of water scenario. I've never been to a festival, let alone one which, from the line-up, was a few notches above my usual play list. I went in with an open mind and I left with a head full of tunes and a happy iTunes account.
Oh, yeah, and my camera is still broken, so I took my little Lumix. The photographic adventure is below:
Epic band. I knew the EMB guys were a fans but listening to their album I didn't get it. Then I saw them live and it clicked.
Bullet For My Valentine:
Way outside my usual play list… but I give them major props for the energy in their stage show.
Enough said.
30 Seconds To Mars:
My biggest Hmmmm. I didn't like them for so many years. Then Closer To The Edge came out. My walls were tested until they collapsed. What a stage presence. Props to the dude behind me who was uber excited to see Jared Leto… My butt crack will call you.
Coheed and Cambria:
THE. BAND. OF. THE NIGHT. I'm in, in a big bad way.
In summary. Rad day. The music was rad, the company was radder… The fucking $11 hamburger was raddist…
PS: I want to be a concert photographer

Khloe Kardashian & Kendall Jenner: LA Clippers Chicks
Treating themselves to a sporty sisterly bonding moment, Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner showed up at the Staples Center last night (January 22).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" ladies were in the house to watch the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder and they had a marvelous time in their primo courtside seats.
Meanwhile, Khloe recently confessed that she's frustrated that the public always seems to focus on her larger body type as compared with sisters Kim and Kourtney.
"A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty? I think I'm beautiful either way."

A Champion is Crowned After Another Successful Regular Season
Monday, January 11, 2010
With Alabama earning the BCS Championship and the number one ranking in every other major poll, the BCS group is highlighting another spectacular season of college football.
The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl game between TCU and Boise State drew a rating of 8.2, the fifth-highest rating among the 12 non-championship BCS games that Fox aired over the past four years, although down 21 percent from last year's Texas-Ohio State game.
The FedEx Orange Bowl rating was 6.8 for Iowa and Georgia Tech, up 26 percent from last year.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl game between Cincinnati and Florida earned an 8.5, up 9 percent from last year.
The Rose Bowl presented by Citi, Oregon vs. Ohio State, earned a 13.8 overnight rating, up 10 percent from last year.
*Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned into a program.
Each of the six conferences with automatic qualification (ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big 10, Pac-10 and SEC) are expected to receive approximately $17.9 million in net revenue. The SEC and Big Ten, with two teams in the BCS games, will receive an additional $4.5 million.

For years, a street named "Charles Eames" has run through the heart of the German campus of Vitra, the manufacturer that owns European rights to furniture designed by the Office of Charles and Ray Eames. But last Friday, standing on a ladder, Eames Demetrios, the couple's grandson, unveiled a sign for a street dedicated to Ray when he pulled off a sock made in a gridded fabric of her design. The ceremony and press conference celebrated Ray's 100th birthday, but the new Ray Eames Strasse also marked a high-profile step in the growing recognition of her contributions as a painter who brought a highly trained artist's eye to the partnership that changed 20th century design history. She was a pro.
We've heard the lament before: the charismatic male lead in a design partnership got all the credit. A recent book by Marilyn and John Neuhart, The Story of Eames Furniture, sadly and erroneously strips Ray of credit, only perpetuating the prejudice against the female half of a partnership of equal talents. The received assumption, perpetuated by the book, condescendingly stereotypes her role to that of the "little lady" behind the "great man," effectively relegating her talents to having a "knack" for color and form. Good at pink.
At the press conference, Fehlbaum, who remains a faithful supporter of Eames designs even as he champions new talents, supported Ray's claim to design credit with an incontrovertible piece of evidence, which he conspicuously placed at the front of the press conference, like a diamond broach too big and brilliant to miss. Standing near the speakers' platform, encased in plexiglass, was one of the plywood sculptures that Ray had shaped, with Charles. In Los Angeles during the War, like other inventors of the time experimenting with plywood, he developed the technology for bending the laminated wood into compound curves, and she carved what had been flat sheets into beguiling pretzels of form weaving in and out of the surrounding space. She locked form and space into space-form.
The couple did not consider the highly sculptural piece "art," but a test in bending wood into the curviplanar shapes that would inform their organic chairs. The rare experimental "sculpture" (pictured), which the eagle-eyed Fehlbaum recently scooped up at auction, contains the DNA that would inform a generation of chairs that came out of the Eames Office. Architecture historian Esther McCoy called the DCMweaetxdyvaydzcwq, a direct descendent of the sculpture, "the chair of the century."
The key to unlocking the facts of what Ray knew, when she knew it, and what she brought to the partnership lies among the mountain of papers and artifacts she left to the Library of Congress, in what is affectionately called "Ray's trunk." McCoy called Ray a "sublime packrat," and during the 1930s Ray swam in the heady artistic waters in and around Manhattan, when she studied at the avant-garde Bennett School and enrolled in courses taught by Hans Hoffman. She was exposed to the tense, dense and rich artistic milieu in which European modernism confronted American realism during the furious debates of the time.
From Hoffman, she learned how to paint abstract forms that activate space around them in what he famously called the "push and pull" that spatialized two-dimensional canvases. Just as Kandinsky, Klee and Feininger informed the design process at the Bauhaus, where art was used to elevate the quality of utilitarian products, Ray acted as the artistic conscience of the office, importing the rigorous training she received with Hoffman to the design studio. At the Eames Office, the goal was the same as at the Bauhaus: to bring good design informed by both artistic principles and advances in technology to the masses. Life would be better for everyone. Any scholar who attempts to understand Eames furniture without diving into Ray's Trunk misses a fountainhead of influences that informed the everyday workings of the office, especially during its early post-War period. Not only is Ray shortchanged, but the furniture's roots in Modernist traditions of European abstraction are inadequately acknowledged.
Ray was not just the little lady with a knack for color and form. She was highly trained in a way that brought spatial richness to furniture that floated in spaces that its forms activated. The chairs no longer belonged to the wall but fluttered into the room. When Charles first met Ray after she completed her studies in New York, he not only married her. He hired her. As she signed onto his enterprise, she also hired him: her expertise found an unexpected canvas.
It was a partnership of equal talents in different spheres of complementary expertise. As one observer of the time noted, "Charles could not have been Charles without Ray." Thanks to Fehlbaum and a growing body of research, the reciprocal argument holds: Ray would not have been Ray without Charles. As Fehlbaum noted during the press conference, acknowledging Ray's contributions does not diminish Charles's role. The process is one of addition rather than subtraction in one of the most productive design equations of talents of the 20th century.

Photo of Cory Monteith character in drug-related film released
An upcoming film starring recently passed "Glee" star Cory Monteith is reminding fans of the circumstances surrounding his death.
The cop drama called "McCanick" is set to make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month, and producers are releasing images of Monteith in character, as a drug-dealing addict.
The actor died unexpectedly last month from a toxic mix of alcohol and heroin. He had struggled with addiction since he was a teen.
The new photo shows a long-haired Monteith wearing a hoodie and being confronted on the street by a detective.
The role is much darker than the one he was best known for on the Fox comedy "Glee." "McCanick" is one of two films starring Monteith to be screened at next month's festival. He also appears in a dramatic role in the Gia Milani film called "All The Wrong Reasons."

Crack Open a Classic
Summer is the ideal time to pick up a book that you never finished—or always meant to read. If you are looking for some great summer reading recommendations, the Library has got you covered. Check out these suggestions from Library personnel.
Nancy, University Librarian
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
If you want the flavor of August in 1928, told through the lens of a 12-year-old boy, this may be the book. Ray Bradbury based the book on his own childhood, but it is a work of fiction. Douglas Spalding is 12 and his brother Tom is 10. Their Grandpa makes dandelion wine—"summer in a bottle," he calls it. Greentown, IL is the setting for the group of boys who learn the past from a Civil War veteran they call the Time Machine, but the old soldier can't remember if he fought for the North or the South. They see the future as buses replace electric trolleys, and other events [no spoilers here] cause them to begin to understand their own mortality. The large and close Spalding family passes much of the summer on the front porch, but Bradbury gives only the barest outline of his characters' appearances, allowing the reader to add faces of one's choosing to bring the book to life. As in his other books, Bradbury's imagery alone is worth the read: "shoes, as quiet as a summer rain falling on the walks."
Kathryn, Reference Librarian
Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
Nobel Laureate Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain (Der Zauberberg) is a masterful commentary on Europe careening toward the Great War. Through the eyes of young Hans Castorp and the international clientele of an elite TB sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, Mann's bildungsroman chronicles the intellectual, political, and social scene of early 20th century Europe. The complex themes of Magic Mountain are particularly relevant as the 100th Anniversary of World War I refocuses attention on the "war to end all wars." (Want to learn more about the WWI but don't like fiction? Try Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August.)
Sam, Music Library Coordinator
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
I heartily recommend Moby Dick as a summer reading classic. I mean, it's the quintessential American novel, but I do think it deserves its status. A who's who of under-dog miscreants traverse the globe looking for wealth and revenge. Pure American hubris at its best/worst. It is long, but takes place on a boat—and we all want to be on a boat in the summer, right? I've read it four times.

If you're reading this then I guess the world didn't end, so welcome to 2013!! Once again the holidays are behind us and we are taking in a new year. I hope 2012 was good to you and am hoping 2013 will be your best year ever!
I started a project back in August and I thought this would be a good time to share it with you.
It all started one morning when I was listening to my radio station K-Love and a lady came on the air to share her story. She began telling the DJ's she wanted to witness more to other people but didn't know how. One night she and her family went out to dinner. They always pray before they eat, but this night, the lady had a nudge from the Holy Spirit to ask her server if she had any prayer requests. So when their server brought out their food, the lady asked their server, "Ma'am, we pray before our meals and were wondering if you have any prayer requests you'd like us to pray for this evening?"
The server was bit stunned at first and then began to share her story. Yes, she needed prayer. The family then prayed for her and her situation. As the lady on the radio shares this story, I immediately think to myself, "Wow—I can do this!" The lady continued talking for a few minutes explaining how this simple act of kindness and prayer has changed their lives and those around them. She said every time they go out to eat they do this. Many times, the servers are hesitant and don't need prayer, but there are some that really open up and let them prayer for them. They often go back to the same restaurants and check in on those they have and haven't prayed for.
This is where and how I got the idea. I couldn't wait to go out to eat and see my family's reaction and the servers!!
The first time we were able to do this, we were in Midland for a volleyball tournament. We stopped at Taco Villa for lunch. Our server was shocked when we asked. She really didn't know what to say and she began looking at her co-worker for help. By her reaction, I'm assuming she has never been asked that before. Before she really started to panic we explained what we were doing and she finally answered, "Just general stuff I guess." So we did—but we also prayed a little more for her than that.
The next restaurant we visited was Outback Steakhouse in San Angelo. We had a very nice young man as our server. He took our drink and food order and just as he was about to leave we asked the big question. Again, another surprised look appeared on our server's face. He then smiled and stated, "To remain healthy." We bowed our heads and prayed for this young man to remain healthy.
I meet with a group of wonderful ladies on Tuesdays at McAlister's Deli at least twice a month. We were waiting on our food and I began telling them about what my family and I were doing when we went out to eat. I asked them if they would mind if I asked our server if he or she had any prayer requests. Of course they were on board and immediately wanted to participate. Our server arrived with our food. As he handed me my plate, I began the conversation.
"Sir, we pray before we eat and I was wondering if you had anything you would like us to pray about for you?" He looked stunned just as the others had, but something was different about this gentleman. He looked right at me and said, "I don't know." My response, "Do you know our friend, Jesus Christ?" He replied, "I'm beginning to. He keeps showing up. But I would like you pray that I have a good semester at college." I told him we would be more than happy to pray his request.
Over the next two months we continued to meet there, but never saw the gentleman again. On this last Tuesday (Dec. 11) I finally asked our server if this man still worked there. She didn't know right off hand, she was new, but would find out. She came back to our table and informed us he no longer worked there. All of us just kind of sighed.
We continue to pray for this young man often. We were so looking forward to find out how well his semester went and to see if God was still showing up in his life. Sometimes, we plant the seed, sometimes we water it, but all the time God gets the glory. I pray this gentleman now has a relationship with Christ and I am hopeful our paths will cross again.
In four months we have had one server tell us that she had been asked that before. She was gracious to share with us her request. And once again we prayed on her behalf.
Since August, I have kept a log of where we have eaten, our server's names and their prayer requests. I look forward to many more names and requests in 2013.
That is a good idea, but I realized the reason we sit on the furniture. I had to explain to her we might try it, but if I get on the floor and can't get up she is going to have to help me up and we might have to have a different new tradition next year!
Then, she answered the question on which tradition to exile. Of course it was the opening of presents only on Christmas morning. She suggested I start the new tradition of buying one extra present that is just for Christmas Eve. That way I wouldn't be totally breaking the old tradition of waiting until Christmas morning! Gotta love the thought process of an 11-year-old at Christmas time!!
Well, now you know some of my family traditions for the Christmas Season. I hope that you make new memories this year with a few of your own traditions. But, no matter what you do this holiday season, remember Santa's watching!
HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas!!

Body Found Near the Jordan River
Police are investigating a badly decomposed body -- found on the bank of the Jordan River, near 90th South, 7th West.
The body was discovered about 1:00 a.m., Friday morning, by a man who got his vehicle stuck in the mud, nearby.
While waiting for a tow truck, the man spotted the remains.
Police say it is proving difficult to determine the identity -- or even the age or sex of the person -- due to the poor condition of the remains.
They are investigating the case as a possible murder...and asking the public for any information they may have about a missing person.

Retailers are looking for an affordable and secure network, but telecom networks—and the business requirements that drive them—are more complex than ever. At the same time, retailers are deploying more applications and need to prioritize data traffic. Sophisticated new WANs are optimized for cost-effectiveness and provide outstanding benefits that go far beyond simple connectivity, according to the panel discussion, "Managing Your New Telecom Network."
The panel, which featured Ken Brame, CIO of AutoZone; Greg Buzek, founder and president of IHL Consulting Group; and Paul Salzinger, director of business development of New Edge Networks, discussed retail's new network needs, choosing the right network, planning around new and upcoming applications, and overall, getting the most benefit for your network investment.
"The notion of running a business on a dial-up network connection is ancient," Salzinger said. "Retailers can do so much more with broadband and we are seeing a shift in the network trends from dial and frame [low speed/dial up] to Net VPN and MPLS, a technology that helps retailers segment the type of traffic to ensure the highest performance."
Ken Brame, CIO of AutoZone, said the Memphis, Tenn.-based auto-parts chain started to recognize a need for a new network in 2005.
"We started to look around and weigh our options," Brame said. "RadioShack was one of the first retailers to roll out its stores in DSL environment, and we saw that it was really working for them. We decided to head down that path and tested it in four or five different stores."
Today, all of AutoZone's 4,000+ stores are on broadband.
About 50% of all retailers are currently running networks in real time. But previously, retailers tried to build access from any connection (from cable to DSL) and didn't have control over support from multiple vendors. Now, more retailers are switching to a network-based application that better manages and supports latency-sensitive applications through class of service (COS).
It's critical to have an updated network, as IP devices now penetrate all aspects of retail operations, from self-service kiosks to RFID and music services. Business intelligence also drives competitive advantage, as retailers look toward real-time inventory management, strong workforce management, store traffic monitoring and supply chain management. But one of the key drivers early on involves faster transactions, Salzinger said. Customers don't want to wait for a dial-up modem with six people in line. It's important to select a network method to simplify and speed up this process.
Salzinger suggested that retailers pursue a network system with less equipment and less management, all from a single source. He also asked retailers to consider their network design, such as either a hub and spoke (controlled Internet access) compared to a fully meshed system (more real-time access).
It's critical for retailers to plan ahead and consider what they are using now vs. what may come in the next year, according to Salzinger. Voice over IP (VoIP) and video surveillance, for example, are also a part of it.
Salzinger's checklist of what retailers should look for when choosing and managing a network is available at

Sooner or later, it had to happen.
The Utah women's volleyball team, due to its move into the Pac-12, eventually had to begin playing in the Huntsman Center.
Although, for now, the Utes will continue to play in the cosy confines of Crimson Court, on Sept. 21, when Utah (7-4) opens its conference home season against Stanford, it will be in the Huntsman Center.
This will be the first match there since Oct. 1, 1993, when Utah hosted against BYU. The holes for the netting have been drilled and the court layout is nearly complete and the Utes have begun to practice in the arena that's been home to basketball and gymnastics.
"It's a big change for us," Utah coach Beth Launiere said. "It's a different feel. Different depth perception."
Right now, the Utes are preparing for their annual Utah Classic on Friday and Saturday at Crimson Court. Utah will play a doubleheader on Friday, starting against Cal Poly at noon, before taking on Nevada at 7 p.m.
"Honestly, moving into the Huntsman Center full time is something that's been in discussion for a number of years," Launiere said. "We'll play a match and see how it feels. [Stanford] is a big draw and a big challenge."
Since 1994, the Utes are 183-58 in Crimson Court. But a new conference means a different level of recruiting. And nearly all of the Pac-12 teams play in expansive arenas.
Five Pac-12 teams are ranked in the top 10 of the AVCA Coaches Poll, including No. 2 UCLA, followed by No. 3 USC, No. 5 Washington, No. 7 Stanford and No. 9 Oregon.
For now, only the Stanford match is set for the Huntsman Center.
"It's a new ball game," Launiere said.
Utah State goalkeeper honored
Utah State goalkeeper Ashlyn Mulford is on her way to what could be another special season for the Aggies. The West Valley City native did not allow a goal in two games to earn her second Western Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Week this season.
USU (5-1-2), which qualified for its first-ever NCAA Tournament in 2011, defeated Eastern Washington 1-0 and played to a scoreless tie against Portland State. Mulford had 15 total saves in the two matches
Utah State hosts No. 22 Washington on Thursday at 4 p.m.

I read on the Heat it to Beat It web site that the event was even more successful than first thought! It turned out 500 attended (250 were initially expected), and while the goal was (I thought) to raise $50,000 for research, $90,000 was raised. How great is that!
One of Dr. Sardi's and Heat it to Beat It's goals was to raise awareness for cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC (heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy) as a proven treatment to prolong life and to potentially cure those diagnosed with cancers that have spread into the abdomen from several different primary sources including the appendix, the ovaries, colon, rectum, peritoneum and stomach. For many years, these cancers, once spread into the abdomen, have been considered terminal and untreatable, with IV chemo only used to prolong life for awhile. When I first became a nurse, before CT, PET and MRI scans, patients had "exploratory laparotomies", abdominal surgeries to look inside their abdomens to find the problem. When cancer was found, they were closed up, and referred to hospice when they were finally awake. There was no attempt to treat their disease. It was terminal.
Dr. Sardi has several long-term survivors of 10 years, 16 years etc. I met a woman on the walk who was diagnosed with advanced primary peritoneal cancer 2 1/2 years ago who is now cancer free and healthy after being treated with cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC. Her sister died of the same cancer just before she was diagnosed; she did not receive these treatments. Most of those with advanced primary peritoneal cancer survive only 3-6 months without treatment.
The sad thing is, I communicate still with many who after diagnosis are told they have no treatment options and only six months to a year to live. My goal is to convince them to self-refer to a HIPEC specialist. I know they love and trust their local doctors, but their local doctors just don't know. Much of the medical community is unaware of this treatment. Some in the medical community are vaguely aware of the procedure, but don't know much about it and think it's experimental. Many insurance companies don't see it as a "standard of care" treatment so refuse to cover it.
We all (myself included) need to be more vocal. If we have the procedure done and are doing well, we need to go back to those in the medical community who told us we were untreatable and show them that thanks to this treatment, we have survived. When we see our GPs or other doctors, we need to tell them about our procedure and survival. We need to spread the word!
My dream is that one day this will be seen as "standard of care" for our cancers. Insurance companies cover treatments that are "standard of care" for an illness. Many other cancers, like breast cancers, have a "standard of care", in a sense a recipe for treatment that is accepted by all in the medical community. If a hospital or doctor was unable to provide the accepted "standard of care" for a breast cancer patient, he or she would be obligated to send the patient to someone who was able to provide the standard of care or be legally liable for denying that care to their patient.
One cool thing, I have a stat counter on my home web site. I can see who has viewed it. I haven't checked in a really long time, but decided to look at it today. Ten medical facilities and several insurance companies viewed my www.appendix-cancer.com website just today, along with several universities. My web site is all about cytoreduction surgery and HIPEC treatments for our cancers. Maybe, just maybe, one health care facility decided to refer a patient to a HIPEC specialist. Maybe, just maybe, one insurer covered the procedure for a patient. I hope so.
But I need to "put my money where my mouth is". A surgical oncologist at large university hospital renowned for cancer treatment told me I was untreatable and terminal 9 years ago. I self-referred to a specialist and am alive 9 years later. I need to talk to him, to tell him that yes; there was treatment for me after all. That no, I didn't die, I lived to raise my kids to adulthood in spite of his predictions. There was something out there for me he didn't know about, and if he has other patients like myself, he needs to refer them to a specialist.
We all need to work towards that goal, for all who will follow us. We need to create our own grass roots movement, to make it easier for those who will travel our path.

Hi Kelly,
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I've known several patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoid of the appendix. Like signet ring, it is one of the rarer pathologies. I know of at least one woman who had HIPEC for adenocarcinoid who is still cancer-free 4 years later. I don't have contact info for her now, but if anyone reading this blog wants to contact Kelly, post here! We are a community and need to support each other!

Hi Carolyn: I'm interested to know whether or not you've received this treatment and am not finding that here. I am forwarding this info to my gynecologist who just told me about cancer of the appendix (I've been having mysterious lower pelvic burning) and a patient who suffered from this. I'm forwarding your website info to her along with the info on the procedure which sounds very promising. Thank you and warmest wishes - Robin

The 113th Congress began Thursday as freshman members took the oath of office and joined congressional veterans serving as parts of what has become a very unpopular legislative body.
The question hanging over Congress' new term is whether the Democrats and Republicans will be able to negotiate meaningful compromises as the government faces difficult decisions.
The muck isn't expected to change anytime this session, experts say.
"If you like the gridlock of the last Congress, you're going to love this year's version," said Dan Schnur, director of USC's Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics.
Compromise seemed to be nearly impossible for Congress over the past two years, which concluded with the House of Representatives missing the government's self-imposed deadline to avoid a "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts.
Although Schnur and others pointed to divisions between Tea Party Republicans and the rest of the GOP as a major source of gridlock, the USC scholar said recent polling shows that when voters say they want "compromise," they're only willing to go so far.
For example, a USC-Los Angeles Times poll conducted shortly after the November election revealed 60 percent of Californians wanted their party to compromise on a plan to reduce the national debt.
The rub, however, was that 61 percent of Democrats opposed a compromise that included cuts to Social Security and Medicare, which are two of the government's most expensive programs.
A majority of Republicans - 55 percent - said they opposed higher taxes as a means to reduce deficit spending.
"The lesson is that everyone wants compromise, as long as the other side is doing the compromising," Schnur said.
Former Assemblyman Anthony Adams said many politicians are afraid to appear to be too willing to compromise.
Adams, who represented a district that included the Claremont and Victor Valley areas in the state Assembly as a Republican for two terms, decided not to seek a third term after surviving a threatened recall attempt that followed his vote in favor of tax increases.
Adams and five other Republicans voted for a compromise in 2009. The deal was then estimated to raise $13 billion in temporary tax hikes for $15 billion in spending cuts.
Although the vote led to the end of Adams' career in the Assembly, he said Thursday he believes he made the right choice.
Even so, he said the kind of forces that led to his decision to leave the Assembly make other office holders too afraid to cross party lines.
"There is a great deal of incentive not to work with other sides on a matter that a minority, a vocal minority, care about," Adams said.
"They tend to be the ones that are the most active in terms of the campaigns and as the axiom goes, the squeaky wheel gets the oil."
On New Year's Day, the House voted to pass a bill maintaining income tax cuts for most Americans, but also raising payroll taxes across the board.
The arguments that led to the fiscal situation followed Congress' imperative to bring federal revenues in line with spending, but the new tax laws are estimated to increase the deficit by nearly $4 trillion by 2012.
That leaves the issue of spending cuts hanging over Congress, which has about two months to figure that one out.
"There are cuts that are going to be very difficult," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Pasadena. "I think people are going to have to understand that if they want the same level of service, they're going to have to pay a little more, failing that, we're going to have to accept a lower level of service."
Schiff did not name any specific cuts, but said Congress could find inefficient or failing programs in just about any policy area or cabinet department.
Schiff said the past Congress was the most dysfunctional in recent memory and he hopes the 113th can do better.
House Republicans reelected John Boehner of Ohio as Speaker on Thursday, but Claremont McKenna College political scientist Douglas Johnson said he sees little signs that the nation's most prominent politicians are demonstrating the leadership needed to overcome gridlock.
While the Republican conference is divided between Tea Party conservatives and the remainder of the GOP, Johnson said his opinion of the Senate is that members of the upper house spend their time "picking up the pieces of whatever is left" from other politicians' ideas.
Johnson also said he doesn't see much in the way of concrete ideas from President Obama.
"Usually, leadership comes from the president, and he's not trying to lead anything," Johnson said. "(Obama's) leaving it in their court."

By Ryan Divish The News Tribune
PEORIA, Ariz. — Unlike many teams around major league baseball, the Seattle Mariners have been relatively healthy this spring.
They've had a few minor dings and dents — a stiff neck here, some tight leg muscles there — but they've avoided the season-affecting injuries that can cripple a team.
It looked as though that run of good fortune was going to come to an end on Saturday afternoon at Peoria Stadium in a 10-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
In the top of the second inning, starting pitcher Blake Beavan delivered a 1-0 fastball to touted Indians prospect Francisco Lindor. The switching-hitting infielder — batting left-handed — took a wild hack at the pitch, missing badly. And yet there was the sound of his wood bat colliding with something a second after the pitch went by.
It wasn't the ball. It was Jesus Montero's head and catching helmet.
Lindor's follow through on the swing drilled Montero on the right side of his head. The catcher crumpled to the ground and into a fetal position. He lay motionless in the dirt as Mariners trainers and manager Eric Wedge rushed to his aid.
After a few minutes, a groggy Montero sat up. It was than a egg-sized knot on the right side of his forehead became visible. The trainers got Montero to his feet and had him carted off the field.
Preliminary tests indicated Montero did not suffer a concussion.
"I was just hoping he was OK, and the reports are that he is," Wedge said. "It's always scary when something like that happens up around the head."
Montero has battled concussions in his past. Last season, he took a foul tip off a 92 mph fastball from Hector Noesi on the forehead of his mask. It left him woozy. He was later diagnosed with a minor concussion and missed a handful of games.
Wedge said he would meet with Montero after Saturday's game to see how he's feeling. It's likely he could miss a few days.
Wedge joked that it might take a few days for the massive welt to shrink so Montero is able to get his helmet on again.
What wouldn't be funny is if Montero had to start the season on the disabled list. The Mariners only have one other catcher — Kelly Shoppach — on the roster. The team would likely use Jesus Sucre as his backup, but they would have to put Sucre on the 40-man roster. With the potential of a few other non-roster players making the team, having to make an additional roster move might cost the Mariners a player or two.
Beavan hit hard
No matter what Blake Beavan tried to do, he couldn't stop the hits from coming. The Mariners starting pitcher fought his way through 51/3 innings and his pitch count reached 100 pitches — which was the goal of his outing. However, giving up nine runs (eight earned) on 16 hits is not something that was enjoyable for Beavan.
To be fair, of those 16 hits, there were more than a few bloopers, broken bat bleeders and ground balls with eyes.
"He just wasn't as crisp as he was the last time out," Wedge said. "We got him up to 100 pitches which we needed to do. I liked the way he fought through it."
Still, 16 hits is a lot and Beavan had never given up that many in a start in his baseball career.
"That was a fiesta today," Beavan said. "I couldn't believe it myself. Every time I tried to make a better pitch or when I did make a good pitch, they still found a way to get a hit. It was just one of those days where you can only do so much."
Beavan did give up some hard-hit balls. Cord Phelps and Jason Giambi hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning.
"I was having trouble getting the ball down today, whether it was a good pitch or a bad pitch," Beavan said. "When I got ahead, I just couldn't put them away."
Obviously, the result wasn't ideal. But Wedge said it wasn't going to knock Beavan out of the competition for a starting rotation spot.
"You evaluate everything — the good days and the not so good days," he said. "Then you figure out why. We assess everything in its entirety. We talk about their path to get here and where they are right now."
Short hops
The club officially released pitcher Jon Garland and first baseman Mike Jacobs from their minor league contracts on Saturday. … Hisashi Iwakuma pitched seven-plus innings in a minor league game against the Cincinnati Reds Class AAA Team. Iwakuma faced 32 batters and threw 91 pitches. He gave up two earned runs on 10 hits and didn't walk a batter while striking out five.

The Hope family began planting vineyards in the area in 1978. Two decades of experience has taught them not only how to grow the finest quality wine grapes, but has also shown them the tremendous potential of the region.
Formerly, the Hopes sold wine under the Hope Family label directly from the winery's tasting room. Beginning with the 1990 vintage, the Hope ranches became the sole source of fruit for Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1996, they founded Treana Winery after years of hands-on experience in viticulture and winemaking. Today, the Hopes cultivate mature vineyards of the varietals best suited to their area; Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Petit Verdot, Mourvedre and Merlot.

Post Content
As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi
party ascended to power in the 1930's
various groups such as the O.T.O.
and the Freemasons were banned and
some of their members arrested.
Otti Votavova said that Hitler belonged
to the legendary "FOCG" or "99 Lodge"
of black magick, described in
Frabato The Magician and Fire And
Ice (see the bibliography). Apart from
this, Hitler and some of his
intimate friends were supposed to be
members of the "Thule Order,"
which was the external instrument of a
group of powerful Tibetan black magician
Haushofer and the Vril
This secret community was founded, literally,
on Bulwer Lytton's novel The Coming Race. The book describes a
race of men psychically far in advance of ours.
They have acquired powers over themselves
and over things that make them almost godlike.
For the moment they are in hiding.
They live in caves in the centre of the Earth.
Soon they will emerge to reign over us.
This appears to be as much as Dr. Ley could tell us. He added with a smile that the disciples believed they had secret knowledge that would enable them to change their race and become the equals of the men hidden in the bowels of the Earth. Methods of concentration, a whole system of internal gymnastics by which they would be transformed. They began their exercises by staring fixedly at an apple cut in half…. We continued our researches.
This Berlin group called itself The Luminous Lodge, or The Vril Society. The vril [the notion of the 'vril' is mentioned for the first time in the works of the French writer Jacolliot, French Consul in Calcutta under the Second Empire. Is the enormous energy of which we only use a minute proportion in our daily life, the nerve-centre of our potential divinity. Whoever becomes master of the vril will be the master of himself, of others round him and of the world. [Reich's "orgone"...? -B:.B:.]
This should be the only object of our desires, and all our efforts should be directed to that end. All the rest belongs to official psychology, morality, and religions and is worthless.
The world will change: the Lords will emerge from the centre of the Earth. Unless we have made an alliance with them and become Lords ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on the dung-heap that will nourish the roots of the New Cities that will arise. [shades of Crowley's Liber AL? -B:.B:.]
The Luminous Lodge [Silver Star, Argon Astron, L.V.X. and latter-day "Lightworkers" woven together in this Luciferian tapestry? -B:.B:.] had associations with the theosophical and Rosicrucian groups. According to Jack Fishman, author of a curious book entitled The Seven Men of Spandau, Karl Haushofer was a member of this lodge. We shall have more to say about him later, when it will be seen that his association with this Vril Society helps to explain certain things.
The Vril Society
from LetUsReason Website
The Vril Society was one of he most influential of the occultic groups in post-WWI Germany, many of Germany's social elite were members. Like the Thule Society, the Vril Society was at the base of the Nazi gnosis for the early leaders of the movement. The Vril Society was also known as the Lodge of Light, and as the Luminous Lodge. It is difficult to obtain reliable information most secret initiations in the Vril Society. As it is with most secret lodges like the Masons one must leave to divulge any information.
This society finds its beginnings in France and associated with French writer Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890). Who drew on the esoteric materials from occultic sources such as the Swedenborgians. Also associated with the Vril Society was the 16th-century teachings of mystic Jacob Boehme (a cofounder of modem Rosicrucianism) and Claude de St. Martin, a leader from French Illuminism during the early 19th-century. There seems to be a thread of parallelism of these and others related to the illuminati in the 18th cent from Bavaria (Adam Weishapt) (Ravenscroft)
The Vril movement is said to still exist throughout the orient where, it is claimed by Angebert, (The Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michel Angebert) there can be as many as two million converts, mostly in India. The current Vrilists are sun worshippers. Vril temples in India are said to be decorated with swastikas.
One of the primary qualifications for admission to the Vril Society was minimum competence in Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine. Karl Haushofer was alleged to be a master of the secret doctrines exposed by Blavatsky, and it was he who initiated prisoner Adolf Hitler at Landsberg Prison. Haushofer eventually became one of the earliest members of the fledgling German Workers Party (DAP), which is the group that changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP or "Nazi") when Hitler became its leader.
The Mother of The Nazi Party
from Whale Website
The Vril Society was the mother of the Nazi party. "Vril" means the Light Force. What Light force? Lucifer the light bearer's light force. The true nature of Nazism is being concealed. When Hitler came to plan, he was placed into power in accordance with the Illuminati plan which was spelled out in writing. This plan said,
"Nowadays if any state raise a protest against us it is only pro forma (provided in advance) at our discretion and by our direction, for their anti-semitism is indispensable to us for the management of our lesser brethren."
Illuminati international bankers brought Hitler to power, and Illuminati kingpins like Rockefeller, Onassis and the King of Sweden traded with the Nazis. Spain stayed neutral during the war to serve as a conduit of supplies to keep Hitler's war going. Hitler was a participant in rituals where human sacrifices were carried out. He himself killed a number of men by pulling their hearts out of their bodies while they were alive. One Monarch slave remembers his father, who was powerful in the Illuminati, describing how Hitler killed a man in front of him by pulling his heart out. Some of Hitler's key advisors and key men were in the Illuminati.
There are also lots of tie ins with the OTO, the Vril Society, the Thule Society, the Society of Green Men. The head of the Tibetan Monks that Hitler imported to help him lead Germany was known as The Man with the Green Glove. The monks were posted in Berlin, Munich, and Nuremberg.

You've seen the music video, made the Mashup and crooned along with the music, NOW its time to spend a little QT with the four gents behind the Sharpie Music Video!
Introducing Joe, Jayson, Dan and Graham, also known as California Wives, the men behind the music!
Tell me about yourselves! Where are you from? Interests? Likes? Dislikes? Pet Peeves? Give us the good stuff!
Three of us grew up in the suburbs around Chicago. Dan and I actually went to rival high schools, but we got over it. Graham moved to Chicago a few years ago, but he grew up in Florida. We all like Science Fiction and are proud fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Judge us if you must, but Captain Picard is one our heroes. Not too many pet peeves, but Graham cannot stand ketchup, or catsup for that matter.
Being Chicago natives, where did the name California Wives come from? ( Feel free to start with … "It came to me in a dream after a Real Housewives marathon"—we'd get it. We've had the same dream…)
California Wives as actually just something one of us said once. It was winter and it was super cold in Chicago and we happened to start making music that sounded sunnier. When we realized it, we all thought, "didn't somebody say something about 'California wives' the other day?
What is inspires you to uncap what's inside?
That moment when you start bobbing your head while playing a song, or beat, or melody. That inspires us to keep going. Once you've got a song that you really like to play, you want to write more.
Tell us how you got started with Sharpie!
We used to burn a lot of CDs of demos that we made. We'd mark each one a Sharpie marker so we could tell them apart. There are piles of CD-Rs with odd song names on them hanging around someplace. If you run across some, let us know, they might be ours.
Favorite Sharpie? Why?
The 80′s Glam kind, for obvious reasons.
How would you describe your style?
My mom describes us all as, "in need of a haircut." I respectfully disagree.
Color really seemed to impact your upcoming album, Art History, what is about color that influences your writing?
Colors are something that are easy to associate with moods. You can use them to allude to a feeling without necessarily having to name it. I think that's why they appear in so many of our songs.
(HEY Sharpie fans- don't forget to download this AWESOME album on iTunes!)
You crazy kids are about to head out on tour (with a full supply of Sharpie markers on hand!) What or where are you most pumped for?
Getting to see Stars and Diamond Rings live every night is pretty exciting. Besides that, it will pretty cool to drive through the Southwestern United States. Speaking of colors…
Do you have a soft spot for one of your songs in particular? (I know we do! Hint hint, Sharpie fans, check out "Purple," which debuted in our first ever music video!)
Light Year. It was the last to come together, so it's the newest to us. It's like the band puppy.
If each of you could have one super power what would it be and why?
I [Joe] would never get tired or have to sleep so that the band would not have to deal with my snoring. It would also be nice to not have objects thrown at me if I pass out in the back of the van. Seriously, though, if I didn't have to sleep, I would have an extra third of my life to do stuff.
Jay would have an infinity stomach. He's a pretty skinny guy so it would be funny to see him wipe the floor with some competitive eaters. They'd just stare at him and think, "where does it all go?"
Dan would be able to read 7 books at the same time. That way he might have time for a few other hobbies. Really, it only seems like's he's always reading because we spend so much time in the van.
Graham would be able to talk with dogs. He does all the time, anyways. It's just usually a very one-sided conversation. I'm sure he'd like to know what the dogs think of what he's saying.
If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who and why?
Ray Kurzweil seems to know a lot about what's going to happen in the future. I wouldn't mind having him drop some knowledge on me.
Dont you just feel closer to the coast already? Wanna check these guys out live?! Well you're in luck they are heading out on tour with Stars and Diamond Rings

Retrograde cystographyCystography - retrograde; Cystogram
Retrograde cystography is a detailed x-ray examination of the bladder in which contrast dye is placed into the bladder through the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
How the Test is Performed
You lie on the table. A numbing medicine is applied to the opening to your urethra, and a flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through your urethra into the bladder. Contrast dye flows through the tube until your bladder is full or you tell the technician that your bladder feels full.
When the bladder is full, you are placed in different positions so that different x-rays can be taken. A final x-ray is taken once the catheter is removed and you have emptied your bladder. This reveals how well your bladder empties.
The total test takes about 30 - 60 minutes.
How to Prepare for the Test
You must sign an informed consent form. You must empty your bladder before the test. You will be asked questions to determine if you may have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye, or if you have a current infection that could make inserting the catheter difficult.
How the Test Will Feel
You may feel some pressure when the catheter is inserted. You will feel an urge to urinate when the contrast dye enters the bladder. The person performing the test will stop the flow when the pressure becomes uncomfortable. The urge to urinate will continue throughout the test.
After the test, the area where the catheter was placed may feel sore when you urinate.
Why the Test is Performed
Your doctor may order this test to:
- Examine the bladder for problems such as holes or tears
- Determine if you have:
- Abnormal connections between bladder tissue (bladder fistulae)
- Bladder stones
- Pouch-like sacs called diverticulaon the walls of the bladder or urethra
- Tumor of the bladder
- Urinary tract infection
- Vesicoureteric reflux
- Learn why you keep having repeated bladder infections
Normal Results
The bladder appears normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
- Bladder stones
- Blood clots
- Diverticula
- Infection or inflammation
- Lesions
- Vesicoureteric reflux
There is some risk of infection from the catheter. Symptoms may include:
- Burning during urination (after the first day)
- Chills
- Decreased blood pressure (hypotension)
- Fever
- Increased heart rate
- Increased breathing rate
The amount of radiation exposure is similar to that of other x-rays. As with any radiation exposure, nursing or pregnant women should not usually have this test, unless it is determined that the benefits outweigh the risks.
In males, testicles are shielded from the x-rays.
This test is not performed very often, but is usually combined with CT Scan imaging for better resolution. Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) or cystoscopy is more frequently used.

(written from a Production point of view)
For the second movie in the Star Trek franchise, please see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Short story adaptations of eight Star Trek: The Original Series episodes, second collection in the series.
The stories in this volume were based on early draft scripts, and there are some significant differences between the printed version and what actually appeared on screen. Due to the lead times required for publication of print books such as these, James Blish was forced to use the only scripts available from Desilu promotions, which were draft scripts that had been discarded. As many of these draft versions have been lost in the years since the series ended, Blish's adaptations are now seen as valuable resources for those researching how the early episodes evolved from script to film.
- Arena
- A 12-page adaptation of TOS: "Arena". It mentions there were 512 people at the outpost on Cestus III.
- A Taste of Armageddon
- A 13-page adaptation of TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon".
- Tomorrow is Yesterday
- A 15-page adaptation of TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday". Blish changed the Enterprise's arrival date from "the late 1960s" to c. 1970.
- Errand of Mercy
- A 14-page adaptation of TOS: "Errand of Mercy".
- Court Martial
- A 16-page adaptation of TOS: "Court Martial".
- Operation -- Annihilate!
- An 18-page adaptation of TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!". Blish changed the ending because he didn't think the televised version worked in print.
- The City on the Edge of Forever
- A 17-page adaptation of TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever". Blish added elements of Ellison's original script.
- Space Seed
- A 17-page adaptation of TOS: "Space Seed".

Timbalier Island Sand Fencing
PA ID# 000-UCPOY-00; Louisiana Department of Natural Resources
PW ID# 4576; Timbalier Island Sand Fencing
Citation: FEMA-1607-DR-LA, Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, Timbalier Island Sand Fencing, Project Worksheet 4576
Reference: Other Federal Agencies
Summary: PW 4576 was prepared to remove and replace 4,500 linear feet (LF) of sand fencing in the amount of $55,876. On September 28, 2009, FEMA obligated PW 4576 for zero dollars because FEMA determined the repairs were under the specific authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and pursuant to Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR) §206.226(a) General work eligibility. General, not eligible for finding under the Public Assistance (PA) program.
In its first appeal the Applicant argued that EPA does not have specific authority for the repair of the sand fencing and provided a letter from the EPA dated August 5, 2009 stating that EPA does not have any specific authority to repair damages caused by Hurricanes Gustav, Ike and Rita. The letter confirms that the EPA does not have any specific authority to repair these damages
The Regional Administrator denied the first appeal because the Cooperative Agreement stated that long term operations and maintenance (O &M) of the project and funding would be through a Memoranda of Agreement (MOA). Furthermore the agencies that are parties to the MOA were responsible for the long term monitoring, maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of authorized project features. The decision also noted that the project completion report submitted in the first appeal established that the repairs have been funded by other federal agencies in the past.
Issue: Is another Federal Agency responsible for funding the repair of the sand fence?
Finding: No.
Rationale: 44 CFR § 206.226(a) General work eligibility. General; 44 CFR § 206.206 Appeals.

Exactly one year ago, I wrote about the results of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association Industry Data Survey, and took a close look at how the producers who rank in the top 25% of our industry compared to their peers. I compared Leaders, or the top quartile, to the performers in the 50th percentile, or the Typical Producers.
This year, the survey captured the bottom 25% of the financial performers, and our firm conducted the first-ever analysis of how the top producers' performances compare to those at the bottom of the ladder. The results are stunning and reflect how far apart the top is from the bottom in this industry.
First, the Leaders are blessed with the single most important ingredient to their success: selling price. This year, the Leaders actually grew the margin of selling price, expanding their profit advantage over the Typical Producer as a percentage over last year. In contrast, the lowest quartile suffered some of the lowest selling prices in the country, which reverberates all the way down through their income statements.
Specifically, the Typical Producer saw a jump of more than $11 per cubic yard in average selling price, from $69.44 to $80.98. This is not unexpected, given the pricing power the industry has had as a result of cement price increases over the last year.
But the Leaders enjoyed a selling price that was a significant $4.20 per cubic yard more than the Typical Producer, as compared to the lowest quartile, which suffered a selling price that is $8.67 less than the Typical Producer. Comparing the top to the bottom, the difference is a whopping $12.87 per yard.
That $12.87 goes a long way. It can mask a multitude of operational shortcomings, such as higher selling, general, and administrative costs the Leaders are saddled with.
Making comparisons
Here are the other major differences between the top and bottom performers that drive these differences:
Regardless of where you stand in relation to your peers, or in what segment of the concrete industry you participate, the message is clear: The key to success is managing the selling price.
As demand softens, managers must better-manage the selling price. For example, is your current price level temporary, or is it culturally ingrained? Only when you know the answer can you decide how to better compete.
