Rudeness can be a career-limiting tendency
The Chronicle ran an advice column this week on the etiquette of academe – or rather the lack thereof. Academics, it seems, are not immune to social gaffs, inconsiderateness and sometime unadulterated rudeness.
No doubt, we all have stories of major faux pas in the academic workplace. But make no mistake, what is tolerated as eccentric or annoying in a tenured professor will be much less tolerated by faculty who are further down the food chain. It is perhaps unnecessary to say job seekers should be on their best behaviour at all stages of the job search. It is wise to remember that if you only start minding your manners with your first interview, you may have already burned your bridges to programs and departments where your reputation as a boor or cad is well established. In an incestuous sector like higher-ed, such a reputation can be difficult, if not impossible to shake, once established.
This call to civility is no less imperative for tenure track and adjunct faculty. With competition for any academic position at an all-time high, you simply cannot forgo basic etiquette with students, staff or fellow academics. A word of warning – never underestimate the influence of a disgruntled student or departmental secretary on your T&P file!
Reading over the list provided by 'Female Science Professor', the anonymous author of the Chronicle column, you will notice a broad range of scenarios and issues, from the absent-mindedly forgetful, to the downright unethical. Some of these may sound like they happened in your own program. There may even be one or two you are guilty of yourself.
The point to take away from this is not to memorize a chapter of Miss Manners, but to simply follow the golden rule, 'Do unto others …' and clean up your messes if you do slip up. Saying a heartfelt 'sorry' once you realize someone may have taken offence at something you said or did still counts in today's world.
What position will you take in the dilemma facing academics?
Interesting. Last week I asked if you thought the use of contract faculty in universities ultimately enriched or eroded university education. So far, nobody has selected 'enriched'. Granted, this is hardly surprising given the options presented and the context in which the question was asked. Nonetheless, it does reveal a dilemma that has faced virtually every PhD that has graduated in the last generation.
Apparently many, if not most of you feel the (increasing) use of contract faculty is negatively changing what it means to be educated in a university. But do you feel strongly enough about this to draw the line in the sand and say 'no' I will not participate in destroying the quality of university education by actively, even enthusiastically pursuing whatever contract positions I can land?' Will you take a stand against your administrators, as did the adjunct faculty at York earlier this year, and risk being passed over for a CLA (contractually limited appointed) or miss a shot at a coveted tenure-track position?
Probably not. Most revolutions are halted before they gain momentum by the sheer necessity of earning a living, preferably through meaningful work. And face it, in the scheme of things, except in particularly abhorrent cases, working in a university does has its rewards, and is satisfying at some level, which is what keeps so many adjuncts returning year after year, rather than leaving academe altogether. Besides, after spending years working towards a particular goal, it's no small thing to walk away because of principles or ideologies.
The days of academic Camelot are over and show no sign of being resurrected in the foreseeable future. This sad reality is the new reality in the ivory tower. The global political economy, the evolution of capitalism and the rise computer technologies are forging tectonic changes around the planet on institutions and traditions that have endured relatively unchanged for millennia until now. What make us think universities alone should be impervious to these forces?
Where does that leave you? This is a time of revolution in the universities, and your role in that revolution is for you to decide. At least do not forge ahead blindly. If you don't know what the labour issues are in your university, get the facts, talk to your more experienced colleagues – adjunct, tenured, and tenure-track. And pay attention to what you see happening around you.
When change happens, it is often the case that what is lost is initially more obvious than what is gained. I think academe is currently in that space. Each of you must decide where you will put your professional energies – protesting the losses, or creating the gains. Or maybe there is a way to do both …
Adjuncts: the happy, the resigned and the bitter
The Chronicle of Higher Education has been taking another look at the life of adjuncts. In one of the most balanced approaches to the subject I've ever seen, they have released a series of first person videos of adjunct faculty describing their experiences as adjuncts. If you have ever though about following this path, or fear you may not have any choice in the matter, you owe it to yourself to take a look at these. They are unabashedly frank stories. They are also beautifully filmed and edited – kudos to the production team! Here's a summary clip – individual segments are on the site (text continues below).
Some of the speakers seem to be pretty happy with their positions. These folks generally have other sources of income which 'adjuncting' supplements, or several positions at different colleges. The rest would prefer tenure track positions, but for one reason or another aren't able to land one – not surprising these days – so are trying to keep the doors to academe open. These folks form two sub-groups: the resigned and the bitter, and I do mean bitter.
All the speakers seem share several important characteristics. They all love to teach and put a great deal of (unpaid) time and effort in to ensuring their students' learning experiences are positive. They all express a deep passion for their fields of research and they have all felt marginalized or ostracized by tenured or tenure track faculty for not being 'real' academics.
In Canada, some universities have experimented with multi-year contracts for full-time teaching associates, a trend covered in University Affairs last year. This strategy was intended to help university administrators meet the teaching demands of burgeoning enrollments without sacrificing the quality of their institutions' research. Since one academic simply can't keep up with both demands, they divided the expectations between two – one whose sole function was to teach, the other who taught but had increased time to research.
Not surprisingly, faculty associations, and indeed most people concerned about the universities growing reliance on cheap, undervalued contract faculty were considerably less enthusiastic. Undeniably, it provided a welcome respite from the annual uncertainty of most contract faculty, but I suspect wholesale adoption of such practices would bring the labour disputes felt so strongly in Ontario this past year across the country.
Where do I stand on this? Well, for the most part, I am in the camp of academics who are appalled by the working conditions of most contract faculty in Canada and believe that the percentage of faculty forced to work their entire careers in such circumstances is eroding the quality of university education in Canada.
Having said that, I do recognize there are probably hundreds of contract faculty, especially those truly working part-time in one institution by choice rather than trying to stitch a living together across multiple institutions, who are absolutely satisfied with their positions. In fact, I may end up joining those ranks myself. I believe strongly that there is an important role for contract faculty in academe, especially where they can bring the perspectives and experiences of non-academic contexts into the classroom. But contract faculty should never be used to replace tenure track faculty or as a an administrative solution to a budget crisis.
For those of you on the tenure track, or intending to go that route, please listen to the videos on the link above, and remember, should you actually realize your dreams, that contract faculty are your peers, your colleagues – perhaps even more skilled than you in some areas. Treat them with the respect that any highly trained professional deserves, that you hope to be treated with if that's where your path ultimately leads you.
In the meantime, where do you stand on this?

Is there really a place for blogging in academe?
If you haven't yet, take a few minutes and browse through the new batch of videotapes from Congress this year on Academic Blogging. Although this may seem like shameless self promotion since yours truly is one of the panelists, I do think that blogging presents an interesting variation of social networking for academics. It's not unusual now for faculty to have a website outlining their research, publications and CVs, but apart from occasional updates, these are rather static affairs.
Academics blogs however offer a much more dynamic way to disseminate your thoughts and encourage dialogue and input, akin to the days of yore when academics had time to regularly discuss their research with colleagues, often over a brew in the local pub. Alas, those days rarely, if ever exist for today's faculty. Blogging can be an alternative that may not be as satisfying socially, but nonetheless has the potential to fill an important gap left when academics can't manage to meet face to face due to conflicting schedules, time zones or distance.
The most prolific academic blogger in my field, Henry Jenkins is a senior-level faculty whose blog is a cornerstone in the area of participatory culture, which he founded. However, blogging can also be a useful vehicle for emerging scholars. A well-designed blog with thoughtful posts can establish the value of your research in your area of expertise. And, it can also provide a 'way in' to your field for undergrads seeped in the culture of social networking for whom traditional academic journals may initially be too much to digest. By providing a link to your blog on your homepage and doing a little shameless self-promotion amongst your family, friends, colleagues and students, you will be able to establish a respectable following over time.
It's not necessary to post daily, but to keep your blog interesting, try to post regularly. Providing an RSS feed will make it easier for people to follow your blog, as they will be notified whenever you post new content. If running your own blog seems like a huge commitment, consider starting a blog focused on a hot topic in your field with a couple of your colleagues. You can take turns composing posts, and the diversity of voices will add variety to the blog and prevent it from getting stale.
The blogging tool I am most familiar with is WordPress. It is both accessible for the neophyte and freely downloadable from http://wordpress.org/. You can post text, graphics, audio and video content, as well as links to other sites. WordPress also provides a neat app for adding polls and quizzes into your blog that can boost the interactivity of your readership. By inserting a range of media and resources, you will keep your blog stimulating and enjoyable to read – and hopefully one that others want to link to, as well.
While blogging will never be a substitute for scholarly publication, it can be a useful addition to your academic profile. It may come in handy during a job search or T&P process. If there is an academic blog that you think is well done, please post a link to it on Career Sense so we can take a look. It would be great to have a range of samples from various disciplines.
Who should provide career support for PhDs?
Please note From Aug 4 to 25th I will not be on vacation. Actually, I will be writing my comprehensive exams. Wish me luck and I'll be back in three weeks!
There is a debate that has been humming in the background of many PhD-granting university campuses for some years now. The topic concerns the career development of PhDs and the issue revolves around deciding whose job it is to provide such support.
One school of thought thinks this should be the responsibility of dissertation supervisor. The 2008 CAGS publication "Guiding Principles for Graduate Student Supervision" expressly supports this position:
"supervisors should be responsible for mentoring students in areas such as, but not limited to, the development of appropriate professional skills; applications for funding; networking opportunities with colleagues in academia and beyond; assistance with publications; and career development."[p. 4]
The problem of course is that the knowledge most supervisors have of the job market outside academe is scant, to say the least. With so many PhDs setting their sights outside the ivory tower this is no small gap. But even those PhDs focusing on academic positions will be hard put to get much more than targeted reference letters from their time-strapped supervisors, let alone substantive advice and support.
This is why another group think that university career centres would be a good alternative. After all, this is where relationships with employers are fostered and the most up-to-date information about work opportunities and job search techniques can be found. In many career centre in Canada's largest universities, you will find services and support aimed specifically at PhDs. Smaller universities simply don't have the resources to do this. However, recruitment-related events and programs are almost exclusively aimed at undergraduate students, particularly at those in professional programs, so there is little a career counselor can do in that regard beyond providing you with lists of employers in various fields, which is a good starting point, but after that you're on your own. Then there's the issue of legitimacy, especially regarding the ability of non-academics to provide accurate advice regarding the academic job market.
In the States, some universities have opted for a third option: to house the professional development of PhDs under the umbrella of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. This centralized resource has the advantage of reducing replication of services across programs while maintaining a sense of integrity concerning quality control. However, a pan-university resource may not provide very specific information about idiosyncratic application and hiring practices in specific fields. It also makes it difficult for students to anonymously inquire about 'alternative careers' before you've decided which direction you are heading in. In fact, at some universities with this arrangement, career fairs for grad students need to be housed in off-campus locations so that grad students don't need to worry about whether someone on their committee will see them entertaining non-academic options for fear of being labeled 'non-serious' about their commitment to scholarship.
The inability to reconcile 'who' is ultimately responsible for the career success of PhDs is one of the biggest impediments to providing accessible quality career education to Canadian PhDs. This at a time when there is intense pressure to radically increase the number of grad students in Canada.
Ultimately though, making sure you have the information and support you need to create a career path that works for you is your responsibility. Yes, your program, supervisor and career centre are valuable resources, and you should use all of them as often as you can. But it is rarely the case that any one of these resources will be able to give you all the support you need when you need it.
The challenge for universities is to ensure these resources are as up-to-date and accessible as they can be. The challenge for grad students is to take the intiative to use these resources creatively and intelligently to transition successfully in to the workplace.
It's time to stop finger-pointing and start focusing on how best to successfully integrate the skilled and able graduates our country produces — like you — into positions that reflect your abilites and aspirations.
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a country to help a PhD reach their potential. We can't afford to wait for the economy to strengthen to do that.
Predicting the future of academe? Don't bank on it.
Perhaps academics spend so much time analyzing the past because the future is too slippery to grasp. Predictions about the future of the academic job market have swung wildly across the pendulum from extreme pessimism to extreme optimism for 50 years now. Throughout this time, prospective and graduating PhD students have sorely tried to make sound career decisions. But with no reliable data, these have been almost impossible to make.
It is with this in mind that I read a recent article in the Chronicle that asked seven scholars across a range of areas and ages how they think the academic workplace — particularly the job satisfaction and expectations of a faculty career — will change over the next 20 years. Not surprisingly, the responses reflect shades of the opinion spectrum that continues to plague academe. But in spite of this, I still recommend giving it a quick read. Not for its predictive qualities, but because collectively they seem to capture much of what I believe lies ahead in the academic workforce.
Granted, workforces in every sector are facing unprecedented levels of uncertainty, except perhaps the Armed Forces. But this is academe, and the ivory tower has always felt 'apart' from the proletariat when it came to such mundane matters as finding jobs. It has never really acknowledged that the 1960s hiring boom was an extraordinary, never-to-be-repeated phenomenon, clinging instead to a pre-fluvial fantasy that such days of abundance will one day return.
Nonetheless, the unthinkable has happened. The academic community finally seems to have turned its critical eye on itself and discovered that far from a gleaming ivory, its towers are a muddy grey, not to mention more than a little decrepit. And centuries of ivy have grown weed infested and are now in need of a good pruning. The university is undergoing perhaps one of its greatest transformations in living memory and what it is transforming into is anybody's guess as the Chronicle article illustrates. The question is: do you still want to be a part of it? Either way, how does one plan for a future when the future seems so unknowable?
Slippery though predicting the future may be, it is clear that no matter where on the pendulum you congregate, you cannot bank on a tenured position, on being able to land decent and sustainable research funding, or on having classes of students who genuinely want to learn what you have to teach them. If the only certainty is uncertainty, then the only possible response is to be flexible and open to new possibilities no matter the sector in which they emerge. Judging by the perspectives of some of the Chronicle's clairvoyants, you may well be awfully grateful not to be in academe when all is said in done.
Freedom of speech on campus – really?
A current article in University Affairs asks the question, "Is freedom of speech disappearing on campus?" While the article focuses on the issue as it pertains to students, the question is no less relevant to non-tenured faculty or anyone wishing to be tenured faculty in the future.
During the long hours I spent on the picket line during the York strike this winter, the conversation occasionally drifted towards wondering why some of our peers were not picketing. Some, it seemed, simply didn't agree with issues on the table and did not wish to participate. Yet others, while sympathetic, were up for tenure, or hoping to land a contract position, and didn't want to risk doing anything that might be frowned upon by the administration.
I was shocked. After all, there were many faculty members, including my program dean, who joined us on the picket lines – but then these were the one with tenure. Maybe my timid peers weren't so paranoid after all. In a highly competitive field where many people vying for the same tenure track positions have outstanding qualifications and references, how difficult would it be for an administrator to pass over the file of someone seen to "lack loyalty" to the university?
It opens up a can of worms, doesn't it? On the one hand, the university is supposed to be one of the last institutions in our society where freedom of thought and speech is not just tolerated, but fostered. On the other hand, for contingent workers in the university, expressing these freedoms may well have unpleasant side effects.
Last week I sat in on a day-long meeting of contract faculty members representing five universities. A common issue on all five campuses was the difficulty filling union steward positions. Apparently no person hoping to one day land a tenure track job wants to be stigmatized that way. Even filing a grievance can be seen as showing a lack of loyalty to the home institution, which has led to the development of union or policy grievance processes which leave the person launching the grievance anonymous.
Reps from several universities noted that in the flurry of program closures necessitated by cutbacks, a disproportionate number of programs largely taught by active and vocal union members were axed, effectively ridding administrations of many faculty that would be likely to organize against unfair contracts.
In a context where freedom of speech, social justice and the ability to have a voice are held up as intrinsic values, why are so many people, afraid to be heard? It's not exactly an incentive to stand up against unfair employment practices is it?
It's time for a new 'normal' in academe
I've been watching with interest the poll from last week that asks if readers would still pursue a PhD if they didn't think it was leading to a tenure track job. As I write this, 74% of respondents have answered "no". This represents a potential crisis for universities. What would happen if 74% of doctoral students decided to opt out of graduate education? Would it be possible for undergraduate courses to continue without a steady supply of cheap labour? Yet, if grad students were told the truth about their academic job prospects, the survey results of this admittedly small sample suggest that that supply would quickly dry up. I can't help but wonder what a huge disincentive this scenario poses for universities to actually come clean with doctoral recruits about their career outcomes.
Now before I am accused of being a naysayer, let me emphasize that I do not mean to suggest that a PhD has no value other than leading to a professorship – nothing could be further from the truth. Quite the opposite I would claim. Based on my interactions with doctoral candidates over the past 10 years, I firmly believe that a PhD is a bit like a "get out of jail free" card in the knowledge economy. That is, there is not much you can't build on with a doctoral education as your base — good news in a rapidly fluctuating economy. The skills and knowledge acquired after 10+ years in the academic context, along with the sheer level of ability the average PhD possesses, are immensely transferable to many other contexts.
That is perhaps one of the least acknowledged aspects of a doctoral education — and one of the least understood. Provincial governments sort of get it, but for the wrong reasons. They have been pushing to expand enrollment in graduate programs for the past few years, which I would provisionally applaud. But they have, erroneously I believe, justified this in terms of market demand in specific fields. Given the timelines involved in obtaining a doctoral degree in particular, basing policy decisions on current trends is always a gamble. The current paucity of family doctors is a good example of such policies run amok. This misguided thinking is further exacerbated, as I argued recently, by the failure to also fund the professional development support these students will need to enter the workforce at levels higher than undergraduates.
It would have been better, revolutionary, in fact, if politicians acknowledged that in an economy built on innovation, rapidly shifting knowledge and unpredictability, the need for people not only to able to function in this environment, but to lead the way, is imperative. That will be the primary contribution of graduate level education in the 21st century – to produce the visionaries and policy makers who will help rebuild a strained society on some other basis than avarice.
Inevitably, some of these graduates will become teachers and researchers with universities, but most will permeate other sectors of society where they will develop and implement radically new approaches to a sustainable economy, social reform, knowledge management and technological advances. While some will bring expertise in particular fields, many more will morph into areas far removed from their disciplines, but closely aligned with their unique and highly developed abilities.
We can no longer afford to keep our brightest minds tucked away in disciplinary cloisters of the ivory tower while our society crumbles. Nor is it fruitful to force those who do forge a "non-traditional" path to do so surreptitously (in most departments, a graduate student who openly discusses an interest in a non-academic career all but closes the door on their own academic career prospects because they aren't considered "committed").
Our governmental agencies and industry recruiters would do well to develop mutual connections between themselves and graduate programs. Graduate students, with the support of their programs, can jump start this process by demanding that they have access to the same level of career resources and support afforded to undergraduates. Employers, in concert with graduate faculties and university career centres, can provide multiple venues to develop realtionships with graduate students before they graduate. Governments can increase the number of internships and other experiential learning opportunities for graduate students early on in their degrees. Most importantly, graduate faculty can stop talking about an academic career as if it is the only viable option for serious students. It's time to put that hoary legend to bed.
Hiring freezes raise issues for PhDs in the job market
In my last post, I mentioned the article published in the Globe & Mail this past Monday on the dismal academic job market. Not surprisingly, the economic downfall is hitting universities hard. In higher ed one of the most common strategies to weather this storm seems to be to implement hiring freezes. A gloomy prospect for PhDs waiting to land their first position.
The article is quick to assure readers that this can't last forever, and such "setbacks" can be excellent opportunities to strengthen CVs through postdocs and publishing. All relatively true. Although I can't help wonder at this rate how soon it will be until having books in print will be the industry standard for new faculty.
Historically, this is just the latest of a seemingly endless stream of events that have derailed the long-held prediction that a critical need for massive numbers of faculty is just around the corner. By now, this is beginning to take on the aura of apocrypha,which has been used to divert two generations of our brightest students towards academic careers that never materialized.
The fact is, the majority of PhDs who have graduated in the past 20 years have not landed up in tenured positions. Most have not ended up in academe at all. The Globe article is hardly "news." It merely reiterates that things are not going to improve anytime soon.
Yes there was that happy blip in Ontario when the double cohort of two graduating high school classes went through the system, amidst much political hoopla and well-publicized funding increases. In fact, the echo of that surge in enrollment is partly motivating the sudden interest in the opening of new spots in graduate programs.
In all fairness, many of today's realities – the economic downturn, the reluctance of increasing numbers of senior faculty to retire, the systemic shift to replacing retiring faculty with contract workers – were not anticipated in the the late seventies and early eighties when the legend of an impending academic renaissance began to emerge. But since then, universities have retold the tale to each new graduating class, in spite of no evidence that the situation was really about to change.
It's important that universities are up front with students they recruit into doctoral programs. A life in academe is not the likely outcome of this level of education. For many, that's not a problem, they have their sights set elsewhere anyways, and, I want to emphasize, tend to do very well in the private sector when they have time and motivation to prepare in advance of graduation. But many would at least think twice about pursuing a PhD if they didn't believe that there was a good chance they would land a tenure track position.
Only when the realities of the academic market are acknowledged, can its potential be truly realized. Only then will universities, governments and employers recognize that there is a growing pool of highly trained, extremely competent graduates who represent one of Canada's largest untapped resources.
Right now the onus is almost entirely on individual grad students to figure out how their abilities might fit into the workforce. It doesn't have to be this hard. Canadian universities provide a huge array of services, support, information and events to help our undergraduates transition successfully into society. It's time now, especially now, to do the same for our graduate students.

Post-academic, non-academic or alternative careers
The Career Centre at the University of Chicago has come up with an interesting turn-of-phrase to describe the career path of a PhD who decides against a traditional academic career. They call it a "Post-Graduate" career.
Hmm – definitely sounds better than "alternative" or worse, "non-academic" which are the phrases usually used. Career Centres struggle with these words because they imply that the norm is an academic career which, of course, is not the case for the majority of PhDs. So why pretend otherwise or make someone feel aberrant for exploring other options to an academic career?
So what do you think? Try it on – roll it around your tongue. How does it feel? What would it sound like to tell Mom and Dad that after 10 years of university you are ready for a post-academic career?
I'd love to know your take on this because it would really help those Career Centres that actually provide services for grad students to know what you would like careers outside academe to be called. Take a moment to fill in the poll below. Encourage your friends to do the same. I'll lay odds that whatever you choose here will start popping up in the terminology used by your Career Centres come September.

It's been a long and cold winter so far, but don't despair baseball fans because spring training baseball is here at last. Several teams have a lot of work to sort out before the season starts, so it should be a great time to watch your favorite team gel. Get your spring training and regular season tickets today before they sell out!
With MLB season right around the corner, baseball fans will be turning out in droves
to watch their team push for the World Series. Here are five simple tips to make
sure you enjoy your trip to the ball park:
1. Bring sunscreen. Protect yourself from harmful UV rays and enjoy a tan
instead of a sunburn.
2. Bring a glove. You never know when a home run or foul ball will come your
way, and when it does, you won't want to sacrifice your bare hand to get it. Having
a glove could make the different between a great souvenir and a broken thumb.
3. Stay hydrated. That doesn't just mean beer. It's important to have enough
water to avoid heat stroke and dehydration. Plus, water won't impair your ability
to drive home later.
4. Bring a camera. A baseball game is a terrific experience that you'll enjoy
looking back on. With passionate crowds and packed stadiums, there are plenty of
great photo opportunities to be had at a ball game.
5. Choose your seat carefully. A big part of baseball is cheering on your
team and heckling your opponents. It's well worth it to be close enough for the
players to hear you. And if you can throw that visiting outfielder off his game
in the bottom of the ninth inning, you may just win the game for the home team.

Chrysler Cars Canada
Walter P. Chrysler was a railroad tycoon who worked at Buick and Willys-Overland before establishing his own car company in 1925. A year prior, he developed his first car, the 1924 Chrysler Six, which featured a six-cylinder engine as well as four-wheel hydraulic brakes, an industry first.
The Imperial was launched the following year to compete with Cadillac and Lincoln with various body styles, including two- or four-seat roadsters, a four-person coupe, five-passenger sedan and ever larger limousine models. It remained the brand's flagship vehicle for much of its history.
Chrysler continued its innovation of the automobile in the '30s with the streamlined Airflow, Airstream, the Royal, the New Yorker and the Saratoga, many of which were powered by 8-cylinder engines. The Windsor sedan and the limited-run Newport were launched in 1940, while the Town & Country appeared in 1941, initially as a wood-paneled station wagon.
In 1951, Chrysler introduced its first V8 engine featuring a hemispherical combustion chamber design. The 1950's saw Chrysler develop its 300 "letter series". Padded dashboards, the push-button transmission and power steering were also introduced in the decade.
Over the years, Chrysler's R&D developed a turbine engine, which equipped the experimental 1963 Turbine Car. Only 55 were produced, and the project was eventually abandoned.
The mid-1970s saw the introduction of more V8-powered rear-wheel drive cars like the Cordoba coupe and mid-size LeBaron in coupe, sedan and wagon formats. The oil and energy crises had hit the automotive industry hard, but Lee Iacocca's arrival in 1978 ensured Chrysler's survival. The first result of his work was the short-lived Imperial coupe, produced from 1981 to 1983, which featured a digital instrument panel.
Meanwhile, in 1982, the front-wheel drive K-car platform was introduced to compete with the more fuel-efficient Japanese manufacturers; many of Chrysler's were spawned off it, such as the LeBaron and LeBaron GTS, the E-Class, the Town & Country wagon, the New Yorker, the Laser coupe and the Canada-only Daytona coupe. The K platform was the basis for the S platform used under Chrysler's minivans, launched in 1984. The division would eventually get its own in 1990 as the Town & Country.
Iacocca, the K-car and the modern minivan had saved Chrysler from bankruptcy. So well, in fact, that the company actually owned Italian supercar maker Lamborghini from 1987 to 1993. Chrysler even collaborated with Maserati to produce what was called Chrysler's TC by Maserati, a short-lived failure.
The '90s saw a robust Chrysler produce a host of vehicles. The Sebring replaced the LeBaron coupe and convertible, the Cirrus replaced the LeBaron sedan and the Concorde replaced the Fifth Avenue. The Imperial name was back in the line-up briefly, but was replaced by the LHS. By the end of the decade, the 300M was introduced in replacement of the New Yorker.
From 2000 to 2002, a Chrysler-badged version of the Dodge Neon was offered in Canada, while the successful, retro-styled PT Cruiser was introduced in 2001. That same year, the Sebring sedan replaced the Cirrus, while the 300 sedan replaced the Concorde in 2005. Models that came and went during the decade include the Prowler roadster, the Crossfire coupe and convertible with a Mercedes-Benz powertrain, the Pacifica which was arguably the first crossover in North America as well as the full-size Aspen SUV which briefly offered a hybrid powertrain.
Meanwhile, the Chrysler group merged with Daimler in 1998 to become DaimlerChrysler. The company then sold Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management in 2007, which became Chrysler LLC, and after declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, was bought out by Italian automaker Fiat.
The current Chrysler division line-up consists of the mid-size 200 sedan and 200 convertible, the full-size 300 sedan and the Town & Country minivan.

Take a peek at used hybrid models you may be considering
By now, you've heard of hybrids: they use electricity and motors and batteries to help drive the vehicle to which all that is bolted -- all with the intent of lightening the load on that vehicle's gas engine.
The deal
Mission accomplished for Chrysler, who successfully transformed the lacklustre Sebring sedan into the more competitive 200. Sales have doubled in 2012 compared to the previous year, and when you add the sales numbers of the very similar Dodge Avenger, Chrysler sells more midsize sedans in Canada than any other automaker, beating out the Toyota Camry, the Ford Fusion and the Hyundai Sonata.
The original luxury minivan still relevant
Way back in 1984, the Chrysler minivan was born as an efficient and family-friendly box on wheels. Five generations later it has evolved into... Well, consider this picture of our family (and one cousin) on a recent vacation, travelling in a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country Limited.

The Zenkaikon crew had a blast at Otakon! Lots of folks stopped by our booth to learn more about us, or to register for the upcoming convention. We even had a visit from past Zenkaikon guest Uncle Yo, and current guest Todd Haberkorn! We enjoyed plenty of events such as panels, screenings, and the Masquerade. The folks from Vidgle/Congoer also stopped by to interview us, so be on the lookout for the video!
Thanks to all the Zenkaikon staff who helped to man our booth, and all our friends who came to say "hello." We look forward to seeing you all again at future events!

By Sarah Millman
TRURO - London's Buckingham Palace may seem like the epitome of royalty to most people, but to former Truro resident Sarah Gorveatt it has become a part of her everyday life.
Gorveatt, 25, followed her passion for history to England last January in an effort to find work at one of the city's many prestigious museums.
Instead, she now finds herself as one of 450 employees who work at the palace, which is the symbol and home of the British monarchy, an art gallery and very popular tourist attraction.
"Honestly, the weirdest part of my job is that I get to walk into Buckingham Palace every morning and the police officers actually let me in!," said Gorveatt, who attended Cobequid Educational Centre"
Applying for work at Buckingham Palace is a similar process to any other job. Up to a point. There's a standard application and interview followed by three months of rigorous security and work permit checks. A position at the palace must be carried out discretely and meticulously.
Gorveatt's job comes with the title Warden of the Queen's Gallery and Royal Mews.
"I work within a close group of wardens to maintain a high quality of customer service and provide a warm welcome to visitors," she said.
Gorveatt has also volunteered at the palace to be part of the correspondence team, answering letters of congratulations the Queen has received in her Diamond Jubilee year.
And while she hasn't met any members of the royal family yet, there's always a chance.
Gorveatt has taken in many of the sights of London during her off-hours and she enjoyed the atmosphere when the city hosted the Summer Olympics in August.
"The energy was really exciting. Everyone was walking around with their country's colours splashed all over them," said Gorveatt. "Canadians are by far the most obvious people in the world. Some of my colleagues were commenting that the entire city of Edmonton must be empty because everyone was in London."
After high school, Gorveatt attended Mount Allison University to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies and classics. After her first year of university, she came home and worked as a summer curatorial assistant at the Colchester Historical Museum and Archives.
Graduating from Mount Allison in 2010, she became the heritage interpreter at the Hector Exhibit Centre and Archives and the McCulloch House Museum in Pictou.
Gorveatt plans to continue living and working in London until at least January of 2014, at which point she may return to school and pursue a Master's Degree in art history or museum studies so she can continue advancing in the museum world.

Nike Air Max FB Pack
Get a closer look at the upcoming release of the Nike Air Max 1 FB Pack, dropping in two eye-catching colorways. After recent releases the likes of the "Home Turf" London and an Engineered Mesh Pack that showcase Nike's technical prowess, the AM1 FB Pack returns with two strong colorways across their mesh, leather, and rubber builds, including a Black/Pink Flash/Mint and a Metallic Silver/Current Blue, both rocking the pop long their full-length mudguard. The Air Max units also pick up some complementary colors down in the crisp, white midsoles, but the Swoosh stamped inside the in-sole ratchet back up the heat. Peep them HERE
Nike Free Trainer 3.0
Set to launch in early 2013, the Nike Free Trainer 3.0 represents the culmination of Nike's pursuit of advanced performance technology for multi-sport athletes, originally taking the form of the Nike Air Trainer 1 in 1987. Harnessing stability and comfort through a minimalist design, the Nike Free Trainer 3.0 weighs in at just 9 ounces, featuring a mesh upper designed with enforced polyurethane support that made with flexible strand-like lines. Known as Kirum, the pliable material creates a pattern that's supportive, lightweight and breathable. A Dynamic Fit system cradles the midfoot while providing a superior lockdown fit, while the Phylon midsole provides lightweight, responsive cushioning. The outsole rates a 3.0 on the Nike Free rating scale, resulting in greater multidirectional flexibility that allows for barefoot-like training. Look for the Nike Free Trainer 3.0 to launch in stores next month. via
Nike Air Max+ 2013
Nike's annual Max Air-cushioned flagship silhouette returns for 2013 with the introduction of the Nike Air Max+ 2013. Offering a tweaked outsole and the sportswear giant's most advanced 360 Max Air unit to date, the low-top trainer offers flexible, soft and lightweight cushioning while pairing a ventilated Hyperfuse upper with a notched inner sleeve for added breathability and reduced weight. Finally, a molded collar supports the ankle while Nike's Dynamic Flywire offers added support by locking down the midfoot for an improved fit. The latest incarnation of the perennial classic, the Nike Air Max+ 2013 will make its debut at Nike Sportswear retailers in January of 2013. (via)

These one of a kind Vans, which combine the sneaker and dress shoe design will be dropping this June. The shoes materials are a combination of premium textiles, EVA midsole and a slim heel cup sole. Would you rock these with a suit?
Nike & Tom Sachs "Space Camp"
Today Nike released their collaboration video with Tom Sach titled Space Camp, which shows Tom and his team prepare for the "Space Program 2.0:Mars". Stay tuned for further details on a release.
By utilizing the relatively new manufacturing methodology known as high frequency (HF) weld production, Nike was able to construct an unique design for its Air Force 1 Pearl Collection's sixth installment. Also known as the 30th Anniversary Collection (or XXX Anniversary), the upcoming Nike Air Force 1 Premium '08 features a digital camouflage pattern in gray scale, inject intermittently with reflective pixalated blocks. But because of the HF weld, the pattern comes to live and into a 3 dimensional arrangement. Reflective heel and tongue tabs add additional flair to the design. The Nike Air Force 1 Premium '08 in High-Frequency Digital Camouflage will be available late this summer at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide.

Private, voluntary or independent nurseries usually provide full day care, early years education and play for up to the age of five. They are generally open 8.00am to 6.00pm, although some only operate on a sessional basis (this is either morning or afternoon sessions). The majority of these nurseries are open weekdays, all year round (except for Bank Holidays) but some are only open in term time and close for school holidays. Decided yet? If not there are a few brochures that you can request which will give you more information or get in touch with the Families Information Service.

text: [ietf-clear] CLEAR Charter2004-09-28 13:49:02I have noted some spelling errors and word changes. There is also several HTML character escapes present that should be removed. In the basic DNA draft, I think there needs to be some consideration as how this can be implemented. Rather than a simple ABCD rating structure, there seems to be a need for a type of class structure instead. You know I want more than this, but at the minimum there seems to be a need for more than what is provided. Something more along the lines: a) Known good b) Known good with pending complaints c) New d) Known bad Unlike addresses, there is no significant upper bound on names. As there is no clearing house to vet applications for domain names, there must be a way to deal with the expected flood. A "known good" with pending complaints could be cleared by the provider acknowledging the complaints. In the interim, some may wish to temporarily hold off accepting mail until corrections have been made. The new status may invoke a type of slow path process which limits the number of messages. Instant recognition could be achieved by agreeing to adhere to acceptable practices. I hope this does not exceed the limits envisioned for accreditation. -Doug DESCRIPTION OF WORKING GROUP: The Internet increasingly needs to improve the accountability of mail transfer activities. Accountability aids in determining the responsible party for fixing problems, and is useful in dealing with some categories [types] of email identity abuse. SMTP "envelope" accountability information <<delete is contained in the RFC2821.Helo/Ehlo and RFC2821.MailFrom commands. This working group will produce low-level techniques for validating these identities, based on information from the managers of their associated domains names. The techniques will be compatible with existing usage and operation[al] practices for <<spelling Internet mail. In order to provide validation that goes beyond simple authentication, the working group will also define DNS-based mechanisms for basic SMTP client service authorization and [domain] name-based service accreditation <<spelling (reputation). Inputs to the working group will be: draft-ietf-marid-csv-intro, draft-ietf- marid-csv-csa, draft-ietf-marid-csv-dna, and draft-levine-mass-batv. CSV performs extended validation of the HELO domain name. BATV provides a framework for bounce address authentication that supports multiple techniques. It also supplies a very basic technique for doing private bounce address authentication. An epidemic of forged RFC2821.MailFrom addresses is causing great confusion and reducing the overall reliability of email, by failing to match notification messages to messages actually sent from that address. This makes the need for SMTP client accountability, and detection of misused bounce addresses, urgent. Therefore, the working group will pursue near-term refinements to the input proposals, to permit early deployment and use. Discussion of enhancements with broader functionality or involving more extensive Internet mail infrastructure changes are out of scope for this working group. Authentication, authorization and accreditation each can be useful. Because accreditation involves new functional territory for Internet mail, the validation specification will first provide for private accreditation techniques, such as privately maintained whitelist and blocklist tables. A DNS-based technique for querying external accreditation services will then be added. Details about the operation of external accreditation services is outside the scope of this working group. Only the ability to query for basic accreditation rating is within scope. Milestones are in terms of working group deadlines, rather than IESG or IETF submissions. These latter milestones flow from the working group events. GOALS AND MILESTONES: Nov 1 04: Technical reviews on CSV input drafts Dec 1 04: WG Last Call Consensus draft on CSV, with private accreditation Technical reviews on BATV signature draft Jan 15 05: WG Last Call DNS-based SMTP Client accreditation mechanism WG Last Call draft on CSV, with DNS-based accreditation Mar 1 05: WG Last Call on BATV signature framework and initial method</pre>

This is claimed to be the all-new replacement for Isuzu's aging MU-7 called MU-X.
Posted on Isuzu's fanclub website, the MU-X is based on today's D-Max pickup and is built to PPV (pickup passenger vehicle) rules stipulated by Thai regulations.
The MU-X features the familiar front end of the D-Max donor vehicle and has a C-pillar design aping that of the Toyota Fortuner, one of its chief rivals.

The Coalition has released a scoping study as it begins the process of selling Medibank Private. Photo: Glenn Hunt
The Abbott government has taken the first step towards selling Medibank, announcing a scoping study for the sale of the private health insurance company will report back by February next year.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said on Thursday that there was no ''compelling reason'' for the government to continue to own Medibank.
It has long been Coalition policy to sell Medibank, with the former Howard government passing legislation to authorise the sale in 2006.
Senator Cormann said that proceeds from Medibank's sale would ''allow the government to fund other policy priorities or pay off debt''.
It has been reported that the sale of the health insurer is expected to raise about $4 billion.
Senator Cormann also said the sale would remove a current conflict of interest, where the government was both a regulator of the private health insurance market and a participant.
The scoping study will start in November and report back at the end of February, in time for the sale to be considered in the next federal budget, due in May.
It will provide recommendations on the sale method, timing, cost and estimated profit.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he thought the sale of Medibank would help its customers. ''We think that the services would improve and certainly it will bring some money back to taxpayers.''
He added that the the government wanted to sell the company at the ''right time, not the wrong time, so we maximise the price and get the best possible value for taxpayers''.
Also on Wednesday, Treasurer Joe Hockey said that the government would not be privatising its way out of debt.
''There is just not a lot of money left in privatisations at a federal level that is going to work to pay off the debt,'' Mr Hockey told ABC Radio.
''The only way you can start to pay off the debt in any meaningful way is to grow the economy, to improve the state of the budget, to run surpluses and run year after year of budget surpluses, which at the end of the day go to pay down the debt.''

Ellerson shakes up the Army coaching staff
This story originally published on
Jim Lawler
Posted Jan 14, 2013
Army head football coach Rich Ellerson has decided to shake up his coaching staff after miserable back-to-back seasons when the Black Knight won a total of just five games. Ellerson led the Black Knights to their first winning season in 14 years in 2010. Since that time Army has posted a 5-19 record over the last two seasons.
After Ellerson was hired he brought most of his core coaching staff from his previous job at Cal Poly to West Point. It was rather surprising that he kept six holdovers from Stan Brock's staff. Ellerson told me in an interview that the reason for the retention of so many on the staff was that he "wanted keep the West Point I.Q. high on the coaching staff."
After struggles of the last two years Ellerson felt it was time to make some changes. The only coaching change the first four seasons had been when Joe Ross returned to the private sector and was replaced by Luke Thompson as special teams coach. The decision to make changes to the staff was not imposed on Ellerson. Right now he has the support of the athletic director, the Superintendent, the administration even if some of the fan base as begun to lose faith. The opportunity to make changes opened up when Gene McKeehan, the associate head coach and offensive guards and center coach, decided to retire after a forty year college coaching career. ArmySports.com posted this information in the
Insiders forum. Bill Tripp, another forty year coaching veteran who coached the offensive tackles, then decided to retire. McKeehan and Tripp combined to make the offensive line the most productive, deepest and best performing area of the team the last two years. The Black Knights led the nation in rushing for two consecutive seasons. The 2012 team set school records as they averaged over 369 rushing yards per game and ran for an impressive 4,438 yards. For the second year in a row the team exceeded four thousand rushing yards in a single season.
The two coaches hired to fill the big shoes of McKeehan and Tripp are Todd Spencer and Tom Simi. I like Ellerson's choices. Spencer has extensive experience coaching mostly option offensive lines his entire career. Like McKeehan, who coached at
, Spencer coached eleven years at Navy before following
Paul Johnson
Georgia Tech
. Spencer resigned from the Georgia Tech staff last year after it was discovered he violated NCAA recruiting rules by sending a few text messages to recruits. The NCAA prohibits all electronic correspondence to recruits with the exception of faxes and emails. Spencer resigned after signing day and took an assistant coaching job at Orange Lutheran high school in California for the 2012 season. Todd is a very intense and fiery coach. Spencer is also a renown recruiter at both Georgia Tech and Navy with experience recruiting in Georgia, Florida and Texas among other areas.
The other new offensive line coach is Tom Simi who has been the head coach of the United States Military Academy Prep team since 2009. Simi is a graduate of Eastern Oregon University. He was an assistant coach from 1997 through 2001 at his Alma mater. Most of that time he served as an assistant under former head coach, current Black Knights offensive coordinator,
Ian Shields
. Simi has a thorough understanding of the Army offensive system and terminology. Before becoming the head coach at USMAPS Simi had been a successful assistant then head coach at Feather River Junior College in California. In 2008 Simi led Feather River JC to a post-season bowl game. They were among the conference leaders in scoring and rushing offense running a triple option scheme. Simi strength is as an offensive line coach. He deserves much of the credit for developing current offensive line starters
Ryan Powis
and Steve Shumaker and preparing them to play early in their careers. Simi has an outgoing, affable personality that should play well on the recruiting trail. He has an excellent eye for talent. The new offensive line coaches should help improve Army's recruiting efforts.
Long time college running back coach Wayne Moses who has been a running backs coach since 1979 is expected to join the staff. The 57-year-old Moses spent last season at
. Moses has lived a nomadic assistant coaching life. He has coached at
, Cal,
North Carolina State
and two seasons in the NFL for the
St. Louis Rams
among other places. Tucker Waugh, the running back coach and recruiting coordinator is being replaced at both jobs. He will probably stay on the staff and switch roles with Andy Guyader. I think removing Waugh as recruiting coordinator has been overdue. Waugh has a reputation as a good recruiter in some circles but he has landed only one impact player,
Raymond Maples
, from talent rich Pennsylvania the last four years. Pennsylvania is an area of the country that Colonel Red Blaik used to mine for future College football Hall of Famers like Bill Carpenter and Arnold Galiffa. It's been a barren area of late for the Black Knights, with Army's best recruits signing with the former Cal Poly coaching staff members Guyader, who has handled wide receivers since 2009, will be the new recruiting coordinator and will handle the quarterbacks and fullbacks. Offensive coordinator Ian Shields will no longer coach the quarterbacks and just run the offense.
The coaching casualty who was let go was former Army football player Captain Clarence Holmes. Holmes had served ten years on the staff and was a solid recruiter. Holmes' defensive line struggled the last two years. Holmes didn't have much to work with after all the defensive line attrition from the 2007-2010 recruiting classes that left him with virtually no upperclassmen the past two years. When Ellerson was seen getting down in a stance to coach technique to the defensive tackles after the defensive meltdown against
it seemed Holmes was in trouble.
Army has recruited much better since 2010 with the varsity experiencing an increase in impact freshmen, team speed and a lowering of attrition rates. These changes should help the staff put a younger, more outgoing face on its recruiting efforts. Ellerson hopes the changes will pay dividends. They better because his future maybe at stake.

By Robin Wheeler
While I'm planning to give a more thorough recount of the emotional experience of my weekend in Oklahoma, duty called first. I wrote two pieces for the Riverfront Times in St. Louis about the weekend.
First, a review of Saturday night's tribute concert in Tulsa, "This Land is Your Land". A sample:
Guthrie embraced populism as much as individuality. Presenting a song everyone knows – "Pink Houses" - so soon after the uniqueness of the Flaming Lips juxtaposed Guthrie's complexities of balancing personal innovation with group accessibility.
I also published a recounting of that day's academic conference, "Different Shades of Red":
What would Woody think of what's happening now? He would relate to the downfall of the middle class, having lived through something similar when his father lost everything. This led Guthrie to base his songs on emotions, not intellect.
Please disregard the header that claims Guthrie was a Communist. That was added by editorial, not me. Read the post and you won't find the word "Communist" mentioned one single time. I've asked for this to be changed.
Despite having a photo pass, I didn't get much that's usable. Luckily, others did. Here's a bit of the concert's finale, with Arlo singing one of "This Land is Your Land"'s lost verses:
Oh, and I did a little tree-hugging on the site of Woody's final Okemah, Oklahoma home.

You are so right!I am a NYC Corrections Officer and I can tell you that ignorance is alive and well when it comes to Police Officers and media outlets in reference to Correction Officers. I've worked hand in hand with court officers, orange county shreiffs, nassau county shreiffs, parole officers, probation officers, throopers, us marshals, etc and I can tell you the one agency which gives us the most problems is the NYPD. It's ignorance nothing more they feel that their the number one law enforcement agency in NYC. If you ask many of their members if we are law enforcement they will reply "no." The two premier departments in the world in the greatest city in the world, do not get along. This is breed into their members right from academy they are instructed to work with correction but also taught that they are there superiors, also they feel we are preps with a badge. They have no idea of the work ethic that a correction officer deals with, when you work in an housing area with the scum of the streets for 8 to 16 hours a day it will influence your life. Now I'm not stating your going to do time, no your language might take a hit, you willl learn to speak and act like them when your around them for so long. Now when PD stops a CO who just worked a mandatory 16 hour shift and is trying to get home, they will encounter a officer which is tired and frustrated because he/she might get some type of ignorance from the approaching officer. This is the most improtant time the encounter of the two departments at a car stop, this is where officers must learn to control their actions and I mean both departments. Yet if the CO states "I'm on the job" you chances of he reply " your not on my job" are high, then the CO will feel disrespected and will reply in an angry housing area remark, problem. This is the type of encounter that happens everyday and ignorance is the key factor to the wedge between the departments. There mut come a time when both departments must merge or correction receives police status the holy grail to PD, if we received this change it will transform corrections to law enforcement status in the eyes of the NYPD. It's sad almost every other PD and Correction Departments work hand and hand or are merged, not in NYC though and they are consider the elite departments, go figure. Media - have no clue to the job we do, they get there so call facts which are from former inmates (liars) and from movies & tv shows. They love to call us guards and love to demeanor our department and members when ever they get a chance. I've learn not to listen to their retoric because every time they print false accounts to anything pertaining to corrections we laugh and come to realize they only want to sell papers and you can't do that telling the truth.

Thompson Child & Family Focus, which started out more than 125 years ago as an orphanage, now has several centers around town that focus on the well-being of children and their families. The nonprofit provides education, treatment and care for those in need from birth to age 18.
April 26 was its 10th annual Portraits of Courage fundraising luncheon, which has become a must-attend event on my calendar thanks to supporter Kathy Rowan, who has encouraged me to be there over the past several years.
On one hand, it's a delightful event to go to because it's done so well. In recent years its been at the Westin where guests fill up the ballroom. And they keep it to exactly one hour, which is key because I've seen other nonprofit luncheons fail because they run too long on a weekday and most people don't have the time or patience for that.
But it's also a very difficult thing to sit there and hear some of the absolutely heartbreaking stories of the mental, physical and sexual abuse that some of children have to go through before they find a safe haven at Thompson. The nonprofit also helps children from loving homes who are suffering from mental illnesses or other problems.
Thompson's president, Ginny Amendum, spoke this year about a little girl named Destiny who had been neglected since she was an infant - no hugs or kisses, no attention, no exposure to anything positive. I really can't say any more because the details are so distressing and include being sexual abused numerous times by two men before she was six and ended up at Thompson. It's a reminder that even in shiny, happy Charlotte where so many people have big hearts there are also so many suffering.
It's truly hard not to just burst into tears except you also get to hear success stories. After years of support from Thompson, Destiny is healing and is on the path to a bright future. And then you look around the room at all the people who care, and read the program of all the generous people who give their time and money to help children in our community, and it gives you hope.
Through the luncheons, I've come to admire Ginny Amendum so much. I think it's ironic that Amen is in her name because she, her staff and all the supporters of Thompson are truly an answer to a prayer for so many children and families.
I encourage you to go to www.thompsoncff.org and learn more about how you can help.

[Kansas City.com] Matt Cassel received medical clearance Tuesday to resume non-contact drills, which effectively positions the Chiefs for a quarterback controversy as they enter the bye week in their schedule.
Brady Quinn started for an injured Cassel in Sunday's 38-10 loss at Tampa Bay.
"What I told them is I'm rotating the quarterbacks," Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said prior to Tuesday's practice. "They will get equal reps. (Ricky) Stanzi will be one who won't get as many reps."
Cassel suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs' Oct. 7 loss to Baltimore. While he is only currently cleared for non-contact duty, he should be ready for the Chiefs' next game, Oct. 28 against the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, barring a setback in the interim.
Asked if he had a feel for which quarterback the players might favor, Crennel laughed.
"They're going to favor the guy who gives us the best chance to win," he said. "No, no, I'm sorry about that. They're going to favor the guy who I say is the quarterback. That's who they're going to favor."

Honest or Dumb Trick or Treaters?
Ok…I really wasn't up for the whole trick or treat thing. I am just not in the mood. But I didn't want the kids to suffer from my Halloween hatred. So I bought the expensive Snickers to keep them up all night on a sugar high. (Let their parents deal with that!) So I put the candy out in a bowl on the porch rail in front of the doorbell. To me this means, take some but don't knock on the door! I either have very honest trick or treaters or very dumb ones. I hear this pounding on the door. Of course Chloe was freaked out. Soleil is like, "What's that racket?" Chloe goes to look out at them and then comes back to tell me they're pretty dumb. She gave me a look as if to say, "Surely you don't have to put a %#$@ing sign up to tell them to take the %#$@ing candy!?!" I just shrugged and told her I loved her and was sorry for all the trauma.
So we get a few trick or treaters and they keep beating on the door before finally taking the candy. And I figured they would be like many kids and just take a whopping handful. Nope! I just checked and the dang bowl is still 2/3 full. For real? So are these kids honest or dumb? I'm not sure. Shoot, if I was out scavenging for candy and saw an unguarded bowl, well…let's just say I would take more than one! And it is getting later in the evening so they should be sure we probably won't get many more trick or treaters. Enjoy it, kids! I bought it for you! I don't want the candy. And I sure don't NEED the candy! Take it. Please!
I am just quite surprised. I thought this whole trick or treating thing would be easier this year. Leave the candy at the door and everything will be fine. Not necessarily so. Oh those poor kids!
