How well do you know your employees? Here are some insights to what employees really want to become engaged and motivated in the workplace.

If employees could collectively tell you what they want and need, here's what they might say: "I am your employee...
From smartbrief
Empathy is one of the most popular topics brought up for discussion by my executive coaching clients. It's not surprising because empathy is the most important instrument in a leader's toolbox. Effective leaders make it a priority to take care of their people. In return, their people give everything to protect and advance the mission of the organization. They know how to inspire and motivate by tapping into what their team truly value and want. And, with millennials firmly in the workplace, this will only become more important.
donhornsby's insight:
Empathy is not sympathy, nor is it feeling sorry for others. Instead, it is understanding what others are feeling or thinking. People tend to focus on the touchy-feely aspect of empathy, and it is indeed important to understand where another person is coming from. However, an empathetic leader is also capable of sensing what another person is thinking. This can be extremely helpful in everything from negotiating a salary to planning a social event for the office.
From leaderchat
I can't get what I need. My boss doesn't understand me. My organization's systems don't work. I don't have the resources I need. My job doesn't take advantage of my strengths. No one appreciates me. My boss micromanages me. There's no room for me to grow. They don't understand how much I could be contributing if only they'd give me a chance.
Via Roger Francis
donhornsby's insight:
The responsibility for your success at work falls to you. The good news is that you have a choice. Is developing the mindset and skillset required to be a self leader worth your effort? Yes! A not-so-hard truth: the benefits of self leadership are as good for you as they are for your organization.
donhornsby's insight:
There are two mistakes that great leaders never make when they disagree.
Not listening
Point out why others are wrong and they are right
Leaders are scared and struggling in this new era of extraordinary and unexpected disruption.
Via Dr. Alison Eyring, Create Wise Leader, Roger Francis, Roy Sheneman, PhD
donhornsby's insight:
Our findings focus on the enormous potential to change things by modifying culture, mind-set and behaviour. Behaviour and profound lack of understanding of the changing public mood explain a series of leadership failures in the public and private sectors in recent months.
As a leader, if you don't like the culture that exists in your organization, you must understand your role in it, and your ability to address it.
donhornsby's insight:
The reality is leadership defines culture. People look to the leadership for their role models, for guides on how to behave. This goes for everything accountability, punctuality, sexual discrimination, etc., etc., if the boss practices these then the rest of the team will feel comfortable to follow suit. The leader sets the tone for whats acceptable. This is true for both positive traits as well as the negative traits mentioned above.
From smartbrief
What do you stand for? What is your "servant purpose" on this planet? Who are you serving and "to what end" are you toiling? What are your values, the principles that describe what is "right" in your heart, day to day? Most humans don't ponder these questions. The answers to these questions can lead one to be their best self daily. Your best self is when you're living in alignment with your servant purpose and with your values and behaviors. You serve others nimbly, willingly and kindly, all the time.
donhornsby's insight:
What are your values? What are the principles that guide you daily? If you hold values like integrity, service, excellence, and respect in high regard, take steps to formalize them - so you know exactly what values you're aspiring to daily.
From hbr
When faced with such decisions, we can examine one option at a time or review all our options together.
donhornsby's insight:
Why is it the case that people make better decisions when they view options all together rather than one at a time? One possibility is that with all the information in front of them, people can compare the options more thoroughly and can more easily identify the best option. But when people view options one at a time, they form an overall judgment about each option and then have to go back and compare.

It's about being known for your clever thoughts, rather than just being known. When you're a thought leader, you have earned some genuine respect, and admiration which comes from being innovative and sincere. It's all very inspirational, isn't it?
Even more inspirational are the potentially massive business returns. If people admire what you have to say and look to you as an authority in your industry, they will invest in you and trust your brand – no matter if you're a B2B or B2C organisation.
Now comes the hard part – being the innovative one who stands out over everyone else trying to be a thought leader at the same time. Luckily, we can help with that.
Here's how to be a thought leader at the same time as everyone else:

Traditional corporate performance evaluations need to be updated as they are having a negative impact on culture. The focus needs to shift from "managing talent" to creating an optimal culture where talent can thrive.
In a recent study published in the Harvard Business Review, close to 20,000 employees around the world say there's one thing that leaders need to demonstrate. Hint: Aretha Franklin sang about it 50 years ago.
Counterintuitive techniques for when you feel overwhelmed.
Uncertainty is scary. The unknown is scary. Leaders will always face uncertainty and the future will always be unknown. A company team I worked with recently has some pretty big anticipated hurdles coming up in about a year. The height of the hurdles is not clear, nor if there will be ground to land on…

As a business leader, you are either building relationship capital or disengagement in your organization. Employee disengagement has been a persistent problem for a number of years. There is no more performance to be gained by maintaining the status quo in our companies. Building a winning organizational culture today is an imperative.
Nice mini case studies on the effectiveness of measuring relationship capital!
You would think that asking for what you want would be the easiest thing in the world to do. But it isn't!

NEW YORK — The union for longshoremen along the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast has agreed to extend its contract until early February, averting a possible strike that could have crippled operations at the Port of New Orleans and 13 other coastal ports that handle about 40 percent of all U.S. container cargo, a federal mediator announced Friday.
A strike would not have affected passenger cruise ships, U.S. mail, military cargo or perishable cargo with a limited shelf life. It also wouldn't affect non-container, or break-bulk, cargo such as steel, wood products and cars.
Jay Hardman, executive director of the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, had said previously that he didn't think a strike would have any effect on the local port's operations.
That's because the Port of Greater Baton Rouge handles primarily bulk cargo and commodities, as do most Louisiana ports.
At the Port of New Orleans, which has substantial container operations, the impact would have been significant.
"Needless to say, we were quite relieved and really happy about it," Gary LaGrange, president and chief executive officer, said of the longshoremen's contract extension.
LaGrange said the economic impact of a strike on the greater New Orleans area would be about $1 million a day, affecting 2,500 workers, including the longshoremen themselves.
The contract extension came after the union and an alliance of port operators and shipping lines resolved one of the stickier points in their months-long contract negotiations, involving royalty payments to the longshoremen for each container they unload.
Negotiations will continue until at least midnight Feb. 6. Some important contract issues remain to be resolved, but the head of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, George Cohen, said the agreement on royalties was "a major positive step forward."
"While some significant issues remain in contention, I am cautiously optimistic that they can be resolved in the upcoming 30-day extension period," he said.
The terms of the royalty agreement were not announced.
LaGrange said he is encouraged that the container royalty issue appears to be cleared up since it was the biggest hurdle.
"I'm very confident, as I have been all along, that the two parties will agree to terms," he said.
The master contract between the International Longshoremen's Association and the U.S. Maritime Alliance originally expired in September. The two sides agreed to extend it once before, for 90 days, but it had been set to expire again at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.
As recently as Dec. 19, the president of the longshoremen, Harold Daggett, had said a strike was expected.
A work stoppage would have idled shipments of a vast number of consumer products, from electronics to clothing, and kept U.S. manufacturers from getting parts and raw materials delivered easily.
Business groups expressed relief that the two sides had agreed to keep the ports open.
"A coast-wide port shutdown is not an option. It would have severe economic ramifications for the local, national and even global economies and wreak havoc on the supply chain," National Retail Federation President Matthew Shay said.
Major ports that would have been affected included the massive terminals serving New York City overseen by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and critical seaports in Savannah, Ga., Houston and Hampton Roads, Va.
Other ports that would have been affected by a strike are in New Orleans; Boston; the Philadelphia area; Baltimore; Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Port Everglades, Fla.; Miami; Tampa, Fla.; and Mobile, Ala.
Longshoremen on the West Coast have a separate collective bargaining agreement.

Neck strain forces Lowrie out of lineup Sunday
OAKLAND -- A's shortstop Jed Lowrie was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Orioles because of a neck strain that occurred overnight while he was sleeping.
Adam Rosales got the start at shortstop in place of Lowrie, who deemed himself available off the bench as a right-handed hitter, with his neck mostly being an issue only when he turns his head to the right side.
"If it was a night game," said Lowrie, "it probably would've had time to loosen up, but it's just so stiff right now that we want to make sure it doesn't get worse. This is the first time I've ever woken up like this, and I knew right away. Even driving in, I couldn't turn my head to check the other lanes."
Manager Bob Melvin was going to do his best to refrain from using the infielder on Sunday.
"With an injury like that, you'd like to rest him, but you never know how it plays out," Melvin said. "He's the only other infielder on the bench, so if something were to happen to someone else, you'd see him out there."
Lowrie, batting .344 on the season, was confident he'd be back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener vs. the Angels.

On Jan. 7, 1875, the North Pacific Coast Railroad (pictured in 1883) was cheered as it carried its first passengers — 300 dignitaries — on its new route from Sausalito to Tomales. According to the Journal, "Signs of welcome and rejoicing were given by the people along the line. But if San Anselmo, San Geronimo, Nicasio, Olema and Marshall sounded the notes of welcome, the honor of outdoing them all was reserved for Tomales, for when the train came in sight of the town the hilltops were lined with people, flags were flying, the whole region had the appearance of a gay and festal time, while cheers of triumph, good will, and rejoicing swelled over the hills." Regular passenger service began Jan. 11.

Topic: Lauren's Theraspheres
Hi Everyone,
After waiting for almost a week and a half after Lauren's mapping for Theraspheres, I finally broke down and e-mailed her radiologist that will be doing the procedure. I had called the number I was given by the nurse practitioner three times last week. I finally reached the nurse practitoner on Friday last week. She said she would speak to the doctor on Monday and call us. Well, today is Wed. and still no call. We hadn't heard anything about Lauren being a good candidate for the procedure. I felt that if we hadn't heard anything, that everything was still a go. I was right. the wonderful doctor e-mailed me about 20 minutes after I e-mailed her and she apologized for nobody getting back to us. She is so busy doing procedures like this that I couldn't be upset with her for not calling. It was up to her nurse and she kind of dropped the ball. I'm sure she is really busy as well. She said the mapping went great and Lauren's lung shunt was only 7.1%. From what I understand, the amount that can go to the lungs has to be under 20%, so 7.1 is great!! They ordered her Theraspheres yesterday and she will be having the procedure next Wed. May 16. My birthday is the 15th, so what a great birthday present that would be if the procedure kills the tumors!! I will keep you all posted. Please say a few extra prayers for Lauren. Thanks. Love you all.
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

JOBSEEKERS in Northwich and Winsford are being offered a pioneering new way to find work.
An online UK-wide job search system is being rolled out to give residents quick and efficient access to vacancies.
The Kaonix system is available at community venues across Northwich and Winsford, including libraries and Work Zones.
It is free to use and jobseekers are given the support of a trained advisor to help them register and use the system.
Cheshire West and Chester Council's (CWAC) Northwich and Winsford locality team has been working with Jobcentre Plus, Mid Cheshire College, Cheshire Community Development Trust and Weaver Vale Housing Trust to roll out Kaonix.
Clr Herbert Manley, CWAC's executive member for growth and innovation, said: "The internet is transforming the way people find jobs, however, the sheer choice of websites can make online job hunting a daunting experience.
"Kaonix is straightforward to use and enables residents to quickly identify jobs from a vast database that match their skills and experience – as well as offering many other useful features.
"I am sure it will prove a valuable tool for jobseekers in Northwich and Winsford and complement the work of the council and our partners to help residents find job opportunities and reduce the number of people who are unemployed."
Kaonix can be accessed at Northwich, Winsford and Wharton libraries, Northwich and Winsford Work Zones, Cheshire Community Development Trust, in Navigation Road, Mid Cheshire College's Hartford Campus, and Weaver Vale Housing Trust, in Gadbrook Park.

Pictures of Ivanka Trump After Giving Birth
Ivanka Trump Takes Care of Business During a Day Away From Baby Arabella
Ivanka Trump was spotted on her way to The Today Show studios in NYC this morning. She stopped to pose for a photo with some young fans before heading inside to chat about real estate on air. Ivanka gave birth to daughter Arabella Rose just one month ago, and she looked fabulous in a fitted purple dress and pink heels for the appearance. Ivanka explained the meaning of Arabella's name recently, saying she's "always loved the name Arabella, and [her husband] Jared's grandmothers had names beginning with an A and an R. Plus, we thought that the initials — ARK — were cool!" Ivanka spent a little time away from her baby in order to attend a pal's bridal shower last week. Arabella, though, was in Ivanka's thoughts when she made a cake featuring her child's initials at the event.

Padres hit homer trio, hang on for sweep
Denorfia makes key catch in eighth to preserve fourth straight win
SAN DIEGO -- Chris Denorfia sat and watched a majority of Sunday's game from inside the home dugout at Petco Park, preparing himself for any circumstance in case he got into the game against the Giants.
It's a good thing, too. Because Denorfia got a little bit of everything once he entered the game, including a wild five-minute stretch where his disposition essentially mirrored that of his team.
"Very rarely do you come off the bench and have a chance to alter a game in just five minutes," Denorfia said.
Call it deflation followed by elation.
Denorfia's grab of a sinking liner in the eighth inning prevented two runs from scoring and allowed the Padres to pull off a three-game sweep of the Giants with a 6-4 victory.
It was the Padres' first sweep of a series against the Giants (13-12) since May 11-13, 2010, and, despite how well Sunday started for them, it nearly didn't happen.
The Padres, who have won their last four games, built leads of 5-1 and later 6-2 on home runs by Chase Headley, Nick Hundley and Alexi Amarista.
But the Giants -- who just last weekend swept a three-game series from the Padres at AT&T Park -- came back to score twice in the eighth inning.
The two runs scored as Giants catcher Buster Posey took a pitch from Brad Brach the other way to right field with Denorfia -- who entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the sixth -- tracking it to the wall, a wall that is 11 feet shorter after offseason dimension modifications.
Denorfia wasn't exactly camped under the ball but felt he was in a good position to catch it. But it glanced off the side of his glove and two runs scored to make it 6-4.
"I was mad more than anything else," he said.
But that passed soon enough as later in the inning, and with two runners on, Andres Torres hit a liner to right field that Denorfia made a tumbling catch on to end the inning and the Giants' only hope of salvaging a game in the series.
"I was mad I didn't get the first one and then elated I got the second one," Denorfia said.
Said Giants manager Bruce Bochy: "They made a great play on it. That's what wins ballgames for you."
That up-and-down inning for Denorfia reflected the kind of month the Padres (9-15) have had to this point.
The Padres have now played eight series in 2013 and five have ended in sweeps -- victories over both the Dodgers and Giants and losses to the Giants and Rockies (twice).
"You can't explain it," said Padres manager Bud Black. "I wish that I could. You never know how a month is going to play out, let alone a week."
It was just a week ago that the Padres came home from being swept by the Giants, as their hitters were reduced to rubble -- two runs in 27 innings -- by the pitching of Madison Bumgarner and Barry Zito.
But in this series, the Padres scored 16 runs in three games. They had 10 hits Sunday, three by Headley, who raised his average from .182 to .250 with his second home run of the season and two doubles. He also reached base on a walk and is starting to look like the hitter he was a year ago.
"Just good swings," Headley said as he compared the two series. "The guys are having good at-bats. It's great to see guys hit some home runs."
This was Headley's 10th game back after missing the team's first 14 games with a fractured tip of his left thumb.
"It's been frustrating -- the last few days I was having good swings and good at-bats and not getting the results," he said. "But you keep grinding away at it and today I got the results."
San Diego pitcher Jason Marquis (2-2) wobbled early, allowing seven baserunners over the first four innings. He allowed a run in the second inning and the Giants were looking for an even bigger inning during the third after Marco Scutaro walked and Pablo Sandoval had the first of his four hits.
But Marquis got Hunter Pence to bounce into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning. One inning later, Marquis allowed a leadoff single to Brandon Belt but got another double-play ball. Marquis pitched better thereafter, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings.
The Padres needed a longer start from Marquis after the bullpen was squeezed for eight innings in Saturday's 8-7 victory in 12 innings.
"We needed it," Black said. "... If you look at the use of all those guys [the relievers], it was big Jason gave us those outs. He started making pitches as the game progressed. The double-play ball to Pence in the third was a big point."
The team's fence modification completed this past offseason might not have been center stage Sunday, though it came into play -- for both sides.
Amarista hit a two-run home run just over the right-field wall in the fourth inning. That marked the first time in 12 home games the Padres have benefited from a home run that would not have been one a year ago.
What does it all mean?
"We'll see. ... It's a small sample," Black said. "But it has had an impact."

Baltimore's Machado disciplined
Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado has received a five-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing his bat on the field during the bottom of the eighth inning of his Club's game against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Joe Garagiola, Jr., Senior Vice President of Standards & Operations for Major League Baseball, made the announcement.
In addition, A's pitcher Fernando Abad has received an undisclosed fine for intentionally throwing at Machado in the eighth inning.
Unless appealed, Machado's suspension is scheduled to begin tonight, when the Orioles are to continue hosting the Boston Red Sox. If appealed, Machado's suspension will be held in abeyance until the process is complete.

I've had a Mini-Canadian for five or six years now and it's the bee's knees for dressing out the small whitetails we have here in Texas. I'm thinking about buying another one to give to my brother but then I ran into the PSK. I'm not near anywhere that I would actually be able to handle one; just looking at catalogs on the interweb. Is the length of the working edge of the two blades much different? Other than the general shape of the two knives, is there really any practical difference between the two?

PM Comparison Test: 5 Eclectic Autos That Defy Categorization
This racing Harley has no exhaust system whatsoever, and was the last, most advanced bike in a series of factory racing bikes based on the "F" series production engine. It was a 1000cc four-stroke with four valves per cylinder. It cost an astounding $1500 back then, and somewhere between 10 and 50 were produced. The gray bike in the background is a 1910 Harley Single.
The heart of the Panigale is the 195-hp Superquadro four-valve engine. Ducati lovers might not like the wet clutch, but they'll love the Ohlins shocks and steering damper, and the electronic development over the 1198, which is huge. The Panigale has ABS, traction control, full ride-by-wire, and a host of other trickery. It's gone on a diet, too, weighing just 361 lbs dry.

Marin County supervisors called for a crackdown on mountain biking scofflaws Tuesday as they expressed outrage at a hit-run incident in which speeding cyclists spooked two horses, severely injuring one rider as well as a horse last month.
Officials called for ranger patrols and sharper penalties, perhaps including consideration of "bike free" zones as well as seizing the bicycles of those who don't follow the rules on the county trail system.
"We need enforcement," declared Supervisor Susan Adams. "We need people out there ... and some meaningful enforcement and fines," she said, advocating a nominal annual fee for use of trails by cyclists and equestrians. "I'm not so sure shared-use trails is the way to go."
"We haven't had good enforcement," said Supervisor Katie Rice.
"I am beyond disappointed the children and their parents have not come forward," Supervisor Kate Sears said of the June 20 incident in which two youths whizzed around a blind curve in the Indian Tree Preserve in northwest Novato, spooking horses that threw their riders. "It's really sad what's happened to our sense of responsibility, our sense of community and respect for others. This is not OK."
The boys, who appeared to be 10 to 12 years old, rode away despite the equestrians' pleas for help. One of the riders, Lisa Zeppegno of Oakland, suffered spinal fractures. The Willow Tree Stables horse she was riding, Coco, was found the next day in a gully, suffering from gashes and a broken nose.
County parks chief Linda Dahl said reckless behavior will not be tolerated in the county's open space and park system. "It will surprise me if we don't end up with a bike-free zone near the stables" where the incident occurred, she told supervisors.
To that end, a new county roads and trails plan Dahl has scheduled for a July 23 unveiling at a county board meeting will provide a "decision-making matrix" to determine whether and where such zones or single-use areas should be imposed. Although that session is just two weeks away, the long-awaited $500,000 plan is not available yet because it is at the print shop, she said. The Independent Journal filed a public records request for the document last week.
As far as enforcement, fines and penalties for illegal biking in open space range from $199 for the first offense to $615 for the third. "It is very difficult to catch them because they are going very fast," Dahl said. The rangers recommend "we start taking away bikes," she added.
Dahl reported that two rangers at the Cal Park Hill Tunnel between San Rafael and Larkspur Landing recently counted 50 cyclists, "and not one of them stopped" at the stop sign. "It's a cultural thing ... that they don't follow the rules."
Tom Boss, off-road and events director for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition and a founding member of the Marin Trail Stewards, noted the behavior of the young bikers was unacceptable. He said the coalition is helping with fundraisers scheduled for the injured equestrian and distributing bike bells to cyclists as an alert for hikers and horsemen.
"We all look forward to the unveiling of the road and trail management plan" and its options for conflict resolution, Boss said. "I just want to mention that mountain bikers came out to the polls last November and helped give a mandate to Measure A," he added. The sales tax measure provides $10 million a year for parks, open space and farms.
Dahl said the plan will propose several policy changes and a "decision-making matrix" for modifications to roads and trails. But she said other changes have already occurred, such as increasing the fines for trail violations, switching some rangers' assignments from maintenance to enforcement, and recruiting additional rangers through Measure A funds.
Supervisor Judy Arnold concluded the session with a plea to the parents of the youths who caused the trails accident.
"Encourage your sons to come forward and apologize," she said.

1. What do you like best about working at MU?
The people – I love getting to know our students and interacting with them every day; they are always teaching me something! Our faculty and staff are the best in the business. I can't imagine working with a more caring, sharing and giving group of people.
2. Fondest childhood memory?
I grew up an only child in a small town in Eastern Ohio, and was blessed with a wonderful extended family and many dear friends who loved me, believed in me and supported me every day of my life growing up. And today! My memories are of walking to school with friends, playing outside until the street lights came on, riding bikes every day all summer long and sitting down to dinner every night with my mom and dad. Just like on 70's TV shows!

1. What do you like to do when you aren't at work?
Although I love my job helping students get admitted to Muskingum University, there's a ton of other stuff that keeps me busy at home! I have two gardens that take up a lot of my time in the summer. I also have two dogs, chickens and honeybee hives. I am never bored at home – there is always something that needs to be done! I also love to cook and travel.
2. What's the most adventurous thing you've done?
I love the outdoors, and the most adventurous thing I've done is taking up backpacking with my husband several years ago. We've seen some amazingly beautiful scenery and I've accomplished physical things I've never thought possible. We love our country's National Parks, but there are also many other areas that we've visited. Any backcountry trip is open for discussion

Gary has served the Muskingum Admission Staff since 2000, and works with students from NW Ohio, SW Ohio, Southern Ohio, and SE Ohio along the river, upstream to Jefferson County.
1. What are your most-prized possessions?
My music collection: vinyl, cassette, CD, and digital--I value it all (though I surely prefer the seek/find process for the non-digital). My high school years were all about soul and funk; college radio in the early 80's exposed me to punk (and post-punk), new wave, reggae and world music, and electronic and industrial music (among others); and working in an independent record store in a university town from 1990-95 only poured gas on the flames. Twenty years later, they're still burning. Oh, and my mountain bikes: I have two Specialized Stumpjumpers--one set up for road riding (strictly for exercise), and the other for off-road use...because, as the saying goes, the fun begins where the pavement ends!
2. What are your "go-to" nature destinations?
If I had an hour, it would be a walk around the New Concord Reservoir with my dog, Woody; a day, the AEP Recreation Lands a half-hour south of town; a week, the Jefferson National Forest and the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in my beloved homeland of SW Virginia; a month, the Clearwater National Forest in northern Idaho (specifically, the Kelly Forks area, near the Montana border). Great--now I'm daydreaming, and worthless for the rest of the afternoon!

1. Favorite Activity: Every summer, I try to take a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota. There's not much I'd rather do than paddle through those lakes and rivers, camping out and catching fish for dinner.
2. Best thing about Muskingum: During my sophomore year here at Muskingum, I met my future wife. We've been married since 2006 and I can't imagine a better life than what we have shared here in this community. Muskingum truly is a special place.

1: What's your "15 seconds of fame"?
I once made it on the ESPN "Top 10." Unfortunately, it wasn't because I was doing anything athletic. I was on the official stat crew for the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament when Brittney Griner threw down a dunk. Front row seats meant I made the clip that was on TV!
2. What's your favorite sports memory?
Well, I'm a Cleveland fan (Go Browns!), so I don't have a lot to choose from. Kidding aside, I'm a golfer, and seeing Jack Nicklaus play in his final round at The Memorial was awesome! To see a living legend play in his own tournament for the last time was an experience I won't forget!

If I was a flavor of ice cream, what flavor would I be?
Vanilla, because you can dress it up with any kind of topping and it will always work!
2. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy crafts I find on Pinterest (most have turned out well if I do say so myself), ride horses (I have since I could walk), play with my bulldog, Oliver (he is a handful and a half), and shopping (buying all things Magenta!).

Ubaldo to throw another bullpen session
OAKLAND -- Ubaldo Jimenez will throw another bullpen session on Sunday, and if all goes well, he could make a rehab start Wednesday and potentially rejoin the Orioles when they return home from their 10-game West Coast trip on July 29.
Jimenez went on the disabled list on July 13, retroactive to July 8, with a sprained right ankle. He threw on Thursday, and manager Buck Showalter said the next hurdle for Jimenez is to pitch out of the stretch.
"Yesterday was better. The only thing he lacks is throwing from the stretch," Showalter said on Friday. "I'm hoping that goes real well Sunday and he can go out and pitch."
The ankle sprain, which occurred in a parking lot outside Jimenez's apartment, was another road block in the righty's frustrating year. Jimenez is 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA after the O's signed him to a four-year, $50 million contract -- the largest for a free-agent starting pitcher in club history -- this offseason.
Kevin Gausman, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk to take Jimenez's spot, has been optioned or recalled nine times in 2014.

Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to discover if differences in the surface markers of B-cells (antibody producing cells of the immune system) in Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) are related to CVID or its complications/treatment (e.g. bronchiectasis, granulomatous disease, immunoglobulin treatment).
The study hypothesis is that the altered B-cell surface markers are related to CVID, and not to the complications or treatment of CVID.

Further study details as provided by Barts & The London NHS Trust:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Percentage of B-cells of all lymphocytes [ Time Frame: 5 months ]Look at percentage of cells within the lymphocyte gate that express the B-cell marker CD19, and compare to healthy controls and non-healthy controls.
- Percentage of class switched memory B-cells as a percentage of B-cells [ Time Frame: 5 months ]Percentage of class-switched memory B-cells (expressing CD27 and CD19), that do not express IgM or IgD, as a percentage of B-cells. This is reduced in CVID and this will be compared between controls and the patients with CVID.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Percentage expression of CD21 and CD38 [ Time Frame: 5 months ]Look for abnormalities in the CVID group and compare to control groups in the numeber of B-cells expressing low levels of CD21 (CD21 lo), and high CD38.

Detailed Description:
Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) is a syndrome containing a spectrum of disorders which results in weakened immunity and recurrent infections. The ESID (European Society for Immunodeficiencies) CVID definition includes patients with marked decrease of IgG (at least 2 standard deviations below the mean for age). Patients must also have disease onset at an age over 2 years, absent isohaemagglutinins and/or response to vaccines and other defined causes of hypogammaglobulinaemia must be excluded. The Euroclass system of classifying CVID is the result of a European multicentre trial attempting to develop a consensus of two existing classification schemes of B-cell immunophenotyping. In this paper it was shown that B-cell immunophenotype correlated with coincidence of clinical sequelae and it suggested implementing this to further classify CVID to give prognostic and therapeutic information. However, it has not yet been shown that these alterations in B-cell immunophenotype are the result of CVID itself and not caused by the treatment or complications of CVID (e.g. immunoglobulin replacement therapy, granulomatous disease, bronchiectasis). The aim of this study is to show that alterations in B-cell immunophenotype are caused by CVID itself and not by its complications or treatment. The study will therefore compare CVID patients to suitable control patients with granulomatous disease, bronchiectasis and on long-term immunoglobulin therapy. A control group of normal people will also be included to ensure the assay can detect normality and to show differences between normal people and patients with CVID.

Muttar Paneer reminds me of one of my closest friends. It used to be her favorite thing to cook. I haven't seen her in a few years so while I was stirring up a pot of it for Curry-Palooza this week, I wondered if she still likes to make it.
I'm not very fond of peas but my husband and kids are. I had a bit of a disaster with the paneer that I
burned over-fried but otherwise this was a fragrant, flavorful curry that my family enjoyed very much. My curry had a thinner consistency than the ones Rocquie & Margie made and I served mine with Pita breads instead of Rice. I had planned on making my own Paneer but was then short on time so I used a bag of cubed, frozen paneer. For those who don't know - Paneer is simply cottage cheese that has been drained, pressed into a container with something heavy placed over the top for a couple of hours so that it retains a solid shape. I did a post on making homemade cottage cheese early last year & will hopefully get around to making my own Paneer soon!
Please check out Rocquie's blog for the recipe for Muttar Paneer, or the original source at A Pot of Tea and a Biscuit.
Curry-Palooza is a monthly event & we take turns picking random Indian recipes each month. If you'd like to participate, please email either Rocquie or myself. I hope you will join us!

Mariano's latest bullpen session goes smoothly
TAMPA, Fla. -- The problem was with Mariano Rivera's knee and never his arm, so the Yankees' closer expressed no surprise that his 30-pitch bullpen session flowed so smoothly on Saturday.
"I always tell you guys that I trust myself," Rivera said. "I trust God first, then I trust myself. I'm capable to do this. I was expecting this. It feels good. Everything feels good."
Rivera completed his work off the mound while wearing a protective brace on his surgically repaired right knee, which he said is not bulky and feels almost like he is pitching with a tight sock on.
The 42-year-old said that he is not worried about getting into shape to close out save opportunities this season. He will be back on a mound Tuesday after two days off, but Rivera said he is paying close attention to his progress in daily pitchers' fielding practice and looks forward to actual game conditions.
"I will be looking for the games," Rivera said. "The reason why is because you have to react there: bunting, comebackers, cover first, all that stuff. You can't think, you have to react. That will be, I would say, the biggest test."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi agreed, saying that while he is confident Rivera will be ready on April 1, he wants to see the all-time saves leader on the field before he makes that assumption in concrete.
"Mo's been throwing for a while, so I feel pretty good about it," Girardi said. "But I want to see Mo in a game have to break for first."
Girardi said that Rivera will not appear in games until later in March. Even though a pair of gray pants hung in his locker on Saturday, Rivera will be excused from making all Spring Training road trips, as usual.
"There's no rush," Rivera said. "We have a long, long, long Spring Training. I want to take every day one day at a time, and take as much [time] as I need to be in that position to be ready to field balls and cover bases and all that stuff. No rush; I have no rush."

VALDEZ made the most of having his sights lowered as he strode clear in the Race Passes At timeform.com Novices' Hurdle at Plumpton today.
A dual bumper winner last season for Barbury Castle trainer Alan King, the six-year-old opened his account over obstacles at the second attempt at Huntington in mid-November before coming up short in a race won by subsequent Tolworth hero Melodic Rendezvous at Cheltenham.
With no horses of that calibre to worry about in East Sussex, Valdez was a warm order, sent off the 1-2 favourite and the result was scarcely in doubt.
Never far off the pace over two miles, the market leader was pulling for his head in the early stages and jockey Robert Thornton let his mount stride to the front with a circuit to run.
Valdez gradually quickened the tempo and soon had his rivals cooked, pulling clear in the home straight to score by 10 lengths from Asker.
"We dawdled and he has always been a free-running type. He did settle better the last day, obviously in better company," Thornton told At The Races.
"I didn't want to be going that slow so I've let him run. I thought he'd settle in front and he's actually rushed a bit, but it won't do him any harm.
"He's won as he liked and he's going the right way."
Sprinter Sacre is one of nine confirmations for the Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot on Saturday.
Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old is unbeaten in six starts over fences and was a brilliant winner of the Tingle Creek at Sandown on his seasonal reappearance in early December.
He is set to head for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March as a long odds-on favourite, provided there are no hiccups this weekend.
Sprinter Sacre would appear to face a relatively straightforward task, with the Paul Nicholls-trained Sanctuaire the second highest-rated horse in the field.
He was over 19 lengths behind Henderson's charge in the Tingle Creek and subsequently won the Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton.

Sreekanth, CFCA communications liaison in Hyderabad, India, contributed to this report.
Did you know Nov. 14-20 is Global Entrepreneurship Week?
During this time when entrepreneurs are honored worldwide for their achievements, we'd like to highlight the entrepreneurs in our CFCA community, particularly mothers of sponsored children.
In just one example, the CFCA project in Chennai, India, organized a mothers group conference Sept. 24 called Sangamam (from a Tamil word that means a get-together or conference).
The conference is a daylong event of fun and learning, including an awards session for recognizing groups and individuals who have started entrepreneurship programs and projects for coming out of poverty.
These enterprises started with the help of loans from CFCA mothers groups. As the businesses grew, mothers then repaid the loans to the groups.
The Anna Theresa mothers group won the best group entrepreneurship award. Its members run two businesses ñ a hotel business and an orchid business.
For the orchid business, group members made arrangements with a farm, planted orchids and then sold the flowers in retail outlets.
"This award is encouraging us to take our business to a higher level," said Lourdu Marry, leader of the mothers group.
The best individual entrepreneurship award went to two mothers, Nazeera and Sakunthala.
Nazeera's husband works as a steel worker, but his job didn't provide enough income for their family of two daughters.
Financial worries were a source of constant anxiety for the family until Nazeera started a clothing business through a mothers group loan.
She now employs six workers from her community to run her business, which now helps support her family.
Now, Nazeera says, she can concentrate on her children's education and their future as the situation in her home has improved.
The other award-winner, Sakunthala, now works in the construction industry, purchasing building materials with her mothers group loan and then leasing the materials to her clients.
"The Sangamam helped us learn how other groups are running and maintaining their records," Sakunthala said. "As I received the best entrepreneurship award for the individual category, I felt very proud to receive this."
By helping mothers of sponsored children become self-sufficient, the CFCA project in Chennai is directly helping the sponsored child and also the entire family.
"For many parents of sponsored children in India, most particularly mothers, finding a job and a steady wage can be elusive," said Janet Tinsley, CFCA project director for India.
"An important aspect of the CFCA program in Chennai is the support to mothers who have the motivation to start their own businesses.
"Through income-generating activities, many mothers have succeeded in providing a more stable source of income for their families, which is one of the first steps in breaking the cycle of poverty."
Congratulations to all these female entrepreneurs. We wish them and their families all the best!

Washington, D.C.–President Obama missed a major fundraising event yesterday due to cancellation of his JetBlue flight. The President had arrived on time at Washington National Airport in a Hertz rental car—a subcompact, according to his press secretary—and had been whisked through security. But then he spent two hours checking his bags and signing autographs while waiting to board his flight, only to learn that it had been delayed and—an hour later—canceled entirely. Having already returned his rental car, the President called the First Lady for a ride back to the White House.
Obama's aborted trip came only two days after Republican contender Mitt Romney missed a connecting flight in Charlotte, N.C., because he'd sat on a Newark runway in a Continental jet for three hours. Then, when he finally reached Memphis (still 150 miles from the site of his scheduled speech) he learned that the Budget Rent-a-Car he'd reserved had been reassigned—and that the airline had lost his luggage. He arrived at his campaign rally six hours after all his supporters had left. Continental subsequently apologized for its delay by awarding double frequent-flier miles to Romney and his fellow passengers.
Silly? Absolutely. But we might well be reading such stories if presidential candidates were to start relying on public transportation. Is there really anyone who thinks that would be a productive use of time for politicians intent on quickly convincing tens of millions of people in 50 states to vote for them?
Apparently so. Because if you Google virtually any presidential candidate's name and the words "business jet," you'll come up with reports suggesting that they're somehow misbehaving by flying privately. "Mitt Romney spent $125,000 on private jets—despite a pledge to scale back on luxury travel," according to one story. Ron Paul "has made fiscal conservatism his hallmark" but uses a private jet, said another. There's even an MSNBC Web page that invites visitors to "take a look through our gallery to find out which big-name lawmakers have encountered private jet troubles."
And it's not just the media doing the finger pointing. At a campaign event in Amherst, N.H., Rick Santorum—who has been known to fly privately himself—heard an airplane overhead and took the opportunity to portray Mitt Romney as a candidate who lacks the common touch. "Probably Romney flying in," Santorum told the crowd as the airplane passed. "Probably a private plane."
Isn't it time we stop all this nonsense and recognize that it's campaigning via airliner, not via private jet, that would represent a misuse of funds?
If we want the candidates to cut expenses, a much better idea would be to push for a moratorium on their frequently mindless and fact-free TV attack ads. Before the last presidential election, according to the Campaign Media Analysis Group, candidates spent more than $450 million on television advertising in the period from April 3 to Nov. 5, 2008. And those ads didn't transport anybody to anywhere—except maybe to medicine cabinets for aspirin.

I think it's perfectly fine for cadidates to use private jets....that is why their were invented: to save time and aggravation. My disagreement with the idea is when Obama could use a government Lear or even a Gulfstream to minimize the expense, instead of a $100,000/hr 747.
Any anyone else ever used a taxpayer-funded 747 to fly DC-NY for a date with his wife?...Talk about abuse and hypocrisy on the part of one who claim to soooo concerned with the environment.

I totally agree. People don't realize flying private is like you taking a taxi for time sensitive matters instead of public transportation. (well, let's say limo service realistically). Don't people want a president to choose the quickest option to take care of important matters that affect their life? Do they want their favorite candidate to keep loosing his supporters by missing flights? I don't.

THE FAMILY ROOM Plays the Berlind Theater, 7/23 & 7/24
July 23, 2011 at 2 PM; July 24, 2011 at 7 PM
The Berlind Theater, McCarter Theatre Center / 91 University Place / Princeton, NJ 08540
Staged Reading presented by American Opera Projects and Opera New Jersey
Starring Lauren Flanigan and Catherine Malfitano
Composed by Thomas Pasatieri
Libretto by Daphne Malfitano
Directed by Scott Schwartz
American Opera Projects (AOP) and Opera New Jersey reunite sopranos Lauren Flanigan and Catherine Malfitano in The Family Room, a new one-act opera written especially for them by composer Thomas Pasatieri (The Seagull ) with an original libretto by Daphne Malfitano. The dark drama tells the story of two nameless women living in a windowless studio who speak of dinner parties and relatives, of husbands and love and a child named Georgie, but their only company is ominous sounds from above. The staged reading of this opera-in-development is directed by Scott Schwartz (Séance on a Wet Afternoon) with piano accompaniment by Chris Cooley and will be followed by a talk-back session with the artists. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased through the McCarter Theatre box office at (609) 258-ARTS (2787) or online at www.mccarter.org.
The Family Room marks the first time Lauren Flanigan and Catherine Malfitano have starred together in an opera since the premiere of William Bolcom's The Wedding in 2004. It is also the first libretto from playwright Daphne Malfitano, and the first time working on a project with her mother Catherine. Composer Thomas Pasatieri has written numerous new operas for both singing actresses including Frau Margot and Monologues for Ms. Flanigan and Washington Square and The Seagull for Ms. Malfitano.
Opera lovers can make The Family Room part of a double bill with Opera NJ's mainstage productions in The McCarter Theatre - the Rossini favorite, The Barber of Seville on July 23 at 8 PM or Gian Carlo Menotti's The Consul on July 24 at 2 PM.
Lauren Flanigan - Named by TIME Magazine as "the thinking man's diva" and awarded by ACSAP and the Center for Contemporary Opera for her commitment to performing the works of living composers, soprano Lauren Flanigan has firmly established herself as a unique musical presence in the world today.
Catherine Malfitano, Singer, Actor, Director, and Teacher, has sung an eclectic, wide-ranging, and glamorous repertoire of over seventy roles, encompassing the entirety of operatic history from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries.
Thomas Pasatieri - Among his 22 operas are La Divina (1966), Padrevia (1967), Black Widow (1972), The Trial of Mary Lincoln (1972), Signor Deluso (1974), Washington Square (1976), Before Breakfast (1980), Three Sisters (1986), and his best known work, The Seagull (1972), which received its world premiere recording in 2003 (Albany Records).
Daphne Malfitano has written two full-length plays, Ballad for the Obsolete, and A Good Man, as well as a one-act, Paternus.
Scott Schwartz - Scott Schwartz directed Golda's Balcony, the longest running one woman show in Broadway history. Schwartz directed his first opera Séance on a Wet Afternoon at Opera Santa Barbara and New York City Opera.
