Ernie Els will have a new footwear sponsor next season after
agreeing to a multi-year agreement with ECCO golf that will see him wear ECCO's
hybrid golf shoes next season, and sport the company's logo on his headwear.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"ECCO has clearly struck on the winning formula," Els said. "They make shoes
that look great, are incredibly comfortable, can be worn almost anywhere and
offer the kind of stability a guy like me really needs on the course."
Els' decision to sign with ECCO shouldn't come as a surprise. The four-time
major winner has worn ECCO shoes in the past, including the Tour Hybrid Wingtip
and BIOM Hybrid as recently as last season.
"Ernie's style, iconic swing and incredibly gracious
personality make him one of the game's truly unique figures," said Jesper
Thuen, ECCO's global sponsorship manager. "He's been a big fan and supporter of
ECCO since the dawn of the hybrid golf shoe revolution, and will now be a very
high-profile ambassador for years to come."
Els has been in the news for his equipment over the last month, after he was spotted using Titleist's Pro V1x at The Presidents Cup and TaylorMade's Lethal at the CIMB Classic. One report went so far as to suggest Els was leaving Callaway at the end of the year for a new equipment company.

season could be summed up in two words: Justin Rose. One staffer
usually doesn't make or break a season but Rose's major championship
victory at the U.S. Open turned 2013 into another successful PGA TOUR
season for the equipment manufacturer.
Rose's win was big on a
number of levels -- it was the first major win for a TaylorMade staffer
since Darren Clarke's Open Championship triumph in 2011 -- the most
important being that the 33-year-old was carrying a bag comprised mostly
of equipment that was recently released.
From the R1 driver --
Rose eventually switched to SLDR later in the year -- to RBZ Stage 2,
Spider Blade and Lethal, Rose put TaylorMade's latest gear on display at
a major and validated each product with the biggest win of his career.
this day and age, you can't put a price on that kind of exposure. Along
with the near-instant success of SLDR and R1, 2013 was certainly one to
remember for TaylorMade.
Equipment released on TOUR: R1
(driver); R1 Black (driver); RocketBallz Stage 2 (driver, fairway woods,
hybrids); SLDR (driver, fairway woods, hybrids); RocketBladez (irons);
RocketBladez Tour (irons); SpeedBlade (irons); Ghost Tour (putter);
Spider Blade (putter); Spider Mallet (putter); Daddy Long Legs (putter);
Lethal (ball).
PGA TOUR winners (2013): Dustin Johnson
(Hyundai Tournament of Champions); Brian Gay (Humana Challenge in
partnership with the Clinton Foundation); D.A. Points (Shell Houston
Open); Martin Laird (Valero Texas Open); Boo Weekley (Crowne Plaza
Invitational at Colonial); Justin Rose (U.S. Open); Ken Duke (Travelers
Rose goes long with Spider Blade: High MOI
and counterbalance were the buzzwords for putters last season, as
equipment manufacturers released new models following the USGA's
decision to ban anchored putting methods in 2016.
Spider Blade -- a high-MOI style blade putter with a 130-gram
counterbalanced grip -- ended up being the only counterbalanced model to
record a major championship win, as Rose used a custom 37-inch version
to win the U.S. Open.
Rose started using a 34.5-inch Spider
Blade at THE PLAYERS Championship that featured a TOUR-only black
stepped steel shaft with a No. 1 hosel, Short L neck; Rose's name along
the hosel and initials on the bottom of the putter; and custom weight
ports on the heel and toe that brought the total head weight to 346
Following a missed cut at the event, Rose decided to
switch to a 37-inch Spider Blade at the Memorial Tournament presented by
Nationwide Insurance. The U.S. Open winner noted that he really liked
the taller posture the longer model put him in. He also felt it allowed
him to release the putter more easily and consistently than his
traditional-length model.
Even though Rose finished the season
133rd in strokes gained-putting, the switch to Spider Blade paid off in a
big way at Merion.
SLDR slides up the ranks: It's rare
that a mid-season launch becomes one of the hottest equipment topics on
TOUR. But that's exactly what happened when TaylorMade unveiled an SLDR
prototype driver at the John Deere Classic, just one week prior to the
Open Championship.
It didn't take long for SLDR to catch the
attention of nearly every staffer in the field. TaylorMade ran out of
driver heads on the first day of TOUR testing, and saw nine players put
it in play that week.
Aside from the obvious buzz, the driver
featured new technology -- low, forward CG and a sliding weight channel
in the sole that allowed the clubhead's CG to be shifted horizontally --
and a glossy grey paint scheme on the crown that made it stand out from
current TaylorMade driver models.
Following the TOUR-only
release at the John Deere, it only took SLDR less than a month to become
the No. 1 driver model on the PGA TOUR at the World Golf
Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.
Back to black: When
an all-black TaylorMade R1 driver first showed up on the USGA's
Conforming Driver List at the end of April, TaylorMade officials were
quick to squash the rumors surrounding the smaller-headed 400cc,
left-handed prototype.
Less than two months later, TaylorMade
did an about-face, releasing the first driver with a black crown since
2010 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. Six R1 Black drivers went in play
the first week.
While R1 Black was a limited-run model, the
driver marked the beginning of a color transition for TaylorMade, as the
company shifted away from the distinctive white crown with R1 Black,
and again with SLDR and the soon-to-be-released JetSpeed line.
Mickelson makes headlines with SLDR: The
Presidents Cup is rarely the place for big equipment stories, but Phil
Mickelson changed things on Day 2 of the event when he showed up at
Muirfield Village with an SLDR driver that featured black paint on the
crown to mask the glossy grey paint, and a black sole that made the
driver almost unrecognizable to the model currently on retail shelves.
who's currently on Callaway's staff, used the driver on his opening tee
shot of the day and kept it in the bag for the remainder of the event.
As of the WGC-HSBC Champions -- Mickelson's last start -- he was still
using an SLDR with a Mitsubishi Rayon Kuro Kage Silver shaft.
R1's big start: Dustin
Johnson put TaylorMade's R1 on the map at the Hyundai Tournament of
Champions, becoming the first player to win with the new driver in the
winners-only event.
Brian Gay followed up Johnson's feat with
one of his own, winning the Humana Challenge the first week he used R1.
Until the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, R1 was TaylorMade's most-used
driver model during the season.
Laird notches first win for Lethal: TaylorMade's
Lethal golf ball was in the bag for three PGA TOUR wins in 2013,
including a major championship victory at the U.S. Open. By ball
standards, last season was a major success for TaylorMade's latest
Martin Laird was the first to notch a win with Lethal
at the Valero Texas Open, coming from five shots back to win. The ball
featured the company's 5-layer technology, which helped promote optimum
spin and a penetrating ball flight.

In this week's Equipment Report Mailbag, PGATOUR.COM Equipment Insider Jonathan Wall talks about TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons, equipment switches and more.
Have a question about the latest golf equipment or what the pros are playing? Send a tweet to @jonathanrwall.
What's the deal with TaylorMade's Tour Preferred line? Is it coming out next year? Will it have the TP Badge? — Austin Crawford
TaylorMade's still planning to release a Tour Preferred line in the near future. I actually had a long-winded response to this question, but Justin Rose forced me to revise it at the last minute when he tweeted a photo from the Nedbank Golf Challenge of a combo set of Tour Preferred CB and MC irons.
I posted the photo of his bag that clearly shows the words "Tour Preferred" in the cavity, so you know these are the real deal. TaylorMade has yet to comment on the release date, but I know TaylorMade Japan's website already has the Tour Preferred line up on its site.
The good news is the irons are now out in the open. I think it's only a matter of time before TaylorMade makes an official announcement.
I saw you tweeted that TaylorMade is going to release a 14-degree SLDR driver in the near future. Is this a fad or an actual trend? — Josh Humphreys
I think the increase in loft is here to stay. Do I think you'll see players switching to 14-degree drivers in waves next season? Probably not.
I had the chance to spend some time with TaylorMade executive vice president Sean Toulon recently on a trip to Las Vegas for the JetSpeed launch, and he mentioned that a low and forward CG was the way toward "that mythical land of ideal launch conditions, 1700 rpm's and 17 degrees of launch angle."
We've seen players like Carl Pettersson use drivers with as much as 11.5 degrees of loft recently. But Pettersson preferred the additional loft because he believed it worked with a longer-than-average shaft for increased carry and more spin.
The increase in loft this time around has more to do with the low and forward CG position. Solid-core balls that spin less and launch monitors that help optimize launch angle for increased carry have also played a part in the new loft trend.
But we're talking about going from 9.5 degrees to 10.5 degrees — in Dustin Johnson's case when he started using TaylorMade's SLDR driver — which doesn't seem like a massive a jump.
So who could benefit from a 14-degree driver? It really depends on your swing speed and launch angle. With the modern driver and ball, there's reason to believe more loft could be your friend. If the pros are going up in loft, you should at least consider testing out a driver with extra loft to see if it benefits your game.
Any big names switching equipment during the off-season? — Larry Pedersen
This is the number one question I get asked on Twitter. As far as switches go, Carl Pettersson moved from Nike to TaylorMade at the Frys.com Open, but that's really been the extent of the news.
The reason for the silence is that most players are still under contract through the end of 2013, which means you likely won't hear anything official until the beginning of the year.
However, that doesn't mean rumors aren't floating around in cyberspace. Barry Havenga, Golf Digest South Africa's deputy editor, tweeted this week that Ernie Els will depart Callaway at the end of the year for a new destination in 2014.
That's big news. Also, I've heard that a couple big names will be playing new equipment next season. I'm talking names that will raise some eyebrows.
Keep an eye on the Equipment Report and I'll let you know when the signings become official.

The USGA's ban on anchored putting methods doesn't go in effect until 2016, but that hasn't stopped several equipment companies from releasing legal putter models that provide anchored-stability over the last few years.
One of the most popular designs has been the counterbalanced model — putters that feature a heavier head and grip for added stability during the stroke. Building on the success of the Futura X putter, Scotty Cameron announced it is releasing a counter balanced version of the putter Adam Scott used to win the 2013 Masters, the Futura X Dual Balance.
The high MOI mallet design is milled from high-grade 6061 aluminum and features a rear balance bar with two 20-gram weights — the putter also has two 10-gram sole weights in the front corners of the putter — that help increase stability. The additional weight in the head, along with the perimeter weighting under the face, give the putter increased forgiveness and a solid feel.
Futura X Dual Balance also utilizes a heavy stainless center section — along with a stainless heel and toe — and an extra 50 grams of weight in the putter head for a headweight of 400 grams. According to Titleist, that's 50 grams heavier than the standard Futura X.
"We developed numerous prototypes using various counterbalance weighting techniques and tested them with golfers at the Putter Studio and on the PGA TOUR," Cameron said in a release. "When we introduced dual balance technology, the player feedback was extraordinary. It's very balanced, it's very controlled. It slows everything down and promotes a more flowing, lethargic stroke without the putter feeling too heavy. Some players have said it feels like an SUV versus a sports car."
The putter comes standard with a 38-inch grip and 50-gram weight in the grip that helps give the putter a counterbalanced feel. While the grip is 3 inches longer than a conventional version, Titleist suggests players choke down on the grip — the grip has red section on it that indicates proper hand placement at 35 inches — to get the maximum effect of the 50-gram counterweight.
"The higher we can get the butt weight, the more counterbalance effect there is," Cameron said. "The additional three inches provides stability but keeps the putter unanchored."
Scotty Cameron's Futura X Dual Balance comes in a "Frozen Titanium" finish with red cherry-dot weights and a double-bend, stepless steel shaft for $399. The putter will also be available in 36-, 37-, 39- and 40-inch versions through Custom Order.

Justin Rose gave golf fans a peek at TaylorMade's yet-to-be-released Tour Preferred iron on Thursday at the European Tour's Nedbank Golf Challenge, when he was spotted using a combo set of Tour Preferred MC and Tour Preferred CB irons.
TaylorMade last released a Tour Preferred line in 2010 but hinted that something new was in the works, posting three teaser photos to its Tour Diaries blog in November.
TaylorMade Japan's official website also posted photos of the Tour Preferred line recently, leading many to believe the irons released in the U.S. would look similar. Based on the photo from the Nedbank, the irons look identical to the Tour Preferred irons currently being sold in Japan.
The new irons feature the company's Speed Pocket technology in the sole and the words "Tour Preferred" in the back cavity. TaylorMade has yet to announce an official release date for the new iron line.

Tiger Woods switched drivers earlier this year at the British Open from Nike's VR Tour to a prototype version of the VR_S Covert. Now he could be on the verge of making a driver change less than six months later, after Golf Channel cameras caught him on the range at Sherwood Country Club, site of this week's Northwestern Mutual World Challenge, with Nike's new VR_S Covert 2.0 driver.
Although the original VR_S Covert and the latest version look almost identical, the VR_S Covert 2.0 driver features a white cavity-back that's visible in the above screenshot.
The prototype VR_S Covert driver that Woods put in play at the British Open was the non-adjustable version -- also known as the performance model.
It's unclear from the photo if Woods is still using the non-adjustable version of Covert 2.0, but based on his history of using non-adjustable drivers, it's safe to assume he's testing the performance model.
Woods made wholesale changes to the woods in his bag this season. Along with the driver switch, the 14-time major winner also added a VR_S Covert 5-wood at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship and VR_S Covert 3-wood at the Masters.
Rory McIlroy and Charl Schwartzel have already had success with the VR_S Covert 2.0 driver, winning the Australian Open and Alfred Dunhill Championship last weekend with it in the bag.
UPDATE (Dec. 5): According to Woods' official website, he will put the Nike VR_S Covert 2.0 prototype driver in play this week at the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge. Nike confirmed on Wednesday that Woods was testing the driver.
Aside from the driver switch, the other interesting piece of news is that Woods decided to use a Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Board 103x shaft in the driver instead of his usual Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana WhiteBoard 73X shaft.
The Blue Board shaft is the same version he currently uses in his VR_S Covert 3- and 5-wood. Woods stated on his site that the heavier shaft gave him better feel of the club at impact.

With less than a month to go before the end of the year, the equipment rumor mill appears to be picking up steam. On Wednesday morning, Golf Digest South Africa deputy editor Barry Havenga tweeted that four-time major winner Ernie Els will depart Callaway at the end of the year -- his contact was set to expire -- for a new equipment company.
Ernie Els leaving Callaway end of 2013. Will play equipment/wear apparel from 4 different brands – owned by 1 company. There's your clue...
— Barry Havenga (@LooseImpediment) December 4, 2013
While it's unclear where he's headed, Havenga dropped interesting hint, noting that Els will "play equipment/wear apparel from 4 different brands – owned by 1 company."
Over the course of the last few months, Els has tested new equipment, including UST Mamiya's Recoil graphite shafts at the Asian Tour's Venetian Macau Open; Titleist's Pro V1x golf ball at the Presidents Cup and Venetian Macau Open; and TaylorMade's Lethal golf ball at the CIMB Classic.
Going off Havenga's tweet, there's reason to believe TaylorMade, which refused to comment on Els' future, could be a potential landing spot. TMaG, the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company, is comprised of four equipment and apparel companies -- TaylorMade, adidas, Ashworth and Adams Golf.
Els also spent a portion of his career as a TaylorMade staffer, winning the 1997 U.S. Open and 2002 British Open with the company. And then there's the fact that Els played the Lethal ball at the CIMB Classic in October.
Wherever Els is heading, his move should become official at the beginning of 2014, which means golfers have another month to predict where the South African lands.

BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Armed with Nike's new RZN Black and Platinum golf balls, Nike's chief ball designer Rock Ishii made his way to Firestone Country Club earlier this year, site of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, for some on-course product testing with Rory McIlroy, Russell Henley and Paul Casey.
The goal behind the product testing? To glean as much feedback as possible on the prototype balls from the Nike athletes in the field. Ishii assumed the feedback would be mixed.
What he didn't expect was for everyone to have the same glowing remarks.
All three players noted the ball was longer, more responsive around the green and had better sound and feel. Not surprisingly, all three switched to one of the two versions in the coming months.
Others have since followed suit in what Ishii called the easiest transition to-date.
"I've been doing this for 23 years and this is easiest and best transition to a new ball I've been a part of," Ishii said. "It's so easy. We started bringing this ball out and players started saying, 'Wow, I can play this ball right now.' It's partly due to the design, but it also has to do with how closely we worked with the players on this ball."
Along with RZN Black and RZN Platinum -- both four-piece balls -- Nike also announced the new ball line will include RZN White and RZN Red -- three-piece distance performance balls that promote more distance (Red) and a softer feel (White) -- giving players of varying skill levels and swing speeds the opportunity to select a ball that best suits their game.
Black and Platinum version are the models Tour pros will likely use. The Black is a low-spinning ball -- Rory McIlroy used RZN Black to win the Australian Open -- while Platinum is a mid-spinning ball that's already being used by, among others, 2013 Irish Open winner Paul Casey.
Ishii also confirmed Tiger Woods has been experimenting with RZN Platinum, using the ball most recently during his exhibition match against McIlroy at Mission Hills Golf Club in China.
While Woods has been playing Nike's One Tour D ball for four-plus years, Ishii said he expects the 14-time major winner to switch to RZN Platinum at some point in the near future.
What separates the 2014 RZN ball from its predecessor is the company's new resin Speedlock core technology. The interlocking core design -- the core's surface is similar to that of a waffle iron -- interconnects with the compression layer to form a more cohesive bond that delivers more energy through impact.
"I think this new SpeedLock technology just makes the ball more efficient," McIlroy said. "For example, you've got 250 yards to the pin and 230 yards to clear the bunker. For me, I'd normally have to bust a 4-iron to get it over the bunker. With the new ball, I know that if I put a good swing on it, it's going to get there. I've gained about half a club with this new ball."
The energy increase also boosts distance, ball speeds and flight. According to Ishii, the unique design for Nike's new three-dimensional core came from studying the core of old wound golf balls.
"The [wound ball] was the inspiration for the Speedlock core technology," Ishii said. "The surface geometry of the wound core is not by design, because the wound rubber thread made the surface on the core. We started testing out new three-dimensional cores to see how it interlocked with the compression layer and found that the energy transfer was significantly better."
Along with a revolutionized core, Nike also added a new spin-optimized coating to the surface of the ball that's designed to grip the grooves of the club for improved control on iron and wedge shots. The softer cover and compression in the core also helps with improved sound and feel, especially on off-center shots.
Nike's RZN Platinum and RZN Black will be available Mar. 3 for $46 per dozen, while RZN White and RZN Red will cost $30 per dozen.

The NTSB has released initial findings on the death of an aircraft fueler at Denver International Airport two years ago, as he was tanking up a 777.
The report sheds new light on the death of 24-year old Joao Rodrigues, an employee of ground contractor Aviation Service International Group. Rodrigues was pumping fuel from a hydrant truck connected to a buried fuel line.
The NTSB suggests the angle of the nozzle in the wing fuel port of the 777 was so extreme that it unduly stressed the port structure itself. The NTSB said evidence suggests "that a significant angular force was applied to the refueling nozzle."
Another ground-crew member watching the refueling operation that day saw the fuel hose "separate from the airplane and flap around, 'violently spraying fuel in all directions,"' according to the NTSB report. "A pilot standing nearby said that a large ball of fire enveloped the hydrant dispenser truck and much of the airplane's left wing," and he then saw the fueler, on fire, "fly off the truck," the report said.
The high wing on the 777, and the added challenges it poses in the fueling process, may have contributed to the accident. The wing on the Boeing plane is 17 feet, 6 inches high, "the highest in the commercial airline fleet," the safety board said.
"Whenever you have a higher wing, it requires more precision in performing the (fueling) task," said James Struhsaker, a Denver-based NTSB official and principal investigator on the DIA fuel-fire incident.
Boeing may come up with new recommendations for 777 fueling after the NTSB determines a "probable cause" in the accident, said spokeswoman Liz Verdier. At least 449 Boeing 777s, one of the most technically advanced planes in the world, have been delivered to airlines and aircraft leasing companies around the world.

BY LIZA STROUT - When Rich Harsh visited Charlotte Harbor with his wife Janeen, they knew that they had found their new home.
"I've always been a water junkie," laughed Rich. "My grandfather took me fishing as far back as I can remember. It's in my blood. I wanted to live on the water and get into the professional fishing industry."
The couple sold their house in Michigan, packed up their belongings and family and restarted their lives in Englewood two years ago.
"We knew that we wanted to do it, and we decided that we should do it sooner rather than later," Rich said. "We wanted to do it while we could enjoy it, because you never know what the future holds."

BY LIZA STROUT - For the people of Gasparilla Island, Tropical Storm Debby was more a series of inconveniences than a major event. Streets were flooded, pipes backed up and the sun was not seen for days.
For the animals that make their home on the island's beaches, though, it was devastating.
BY MARCY SHORTUSE - Tropical Storm Debby was our first wake-up call of 2012's hurricane season, and it was a long, wet reckoning. While little damage was reported, flooding up to thresholds had many residents very nervous at high tide.
Hurricane hang tags need to be redone this year, and business picked up a bit this week at the Boca Grande Fire Department with more and more people remembering to get them.

The past year has been challenging for the economy and for business overall. Despite the downturn, some companies have managed to maintain a positive work environment with innovative programs that boost employee morale.
Baylor is one of these companies.
Baylor Health Care System, a faith-based, not-for-profit health care provider has kept their employees motivated by offering merit-based performance rewards and more. Becky Hall is Vice President of Talent Acquisition and Retention at Baylor Health Care System.
Monster: Amidst this year 's economic challenges, how has your company managed to maintain employee performance and satisfaction?
Becky Hall: Baylor keeps employees engaged and performing well by offering a pay-for-performance merit process and competitive benefits.
Our pay-for-performance merit process involves employees setting goals that tie into our system objectives around retention, quality care measures, patient satisfaction and financial responsibility. That way, employees can see how their work directly affects the company 's success. Employees who understand what is expected of them and receive regular feedback are more engaged and can make more informed daily decisions with their increased line of sight.
Also, while some companies have had to eliminate benefits to save costs, we haven 't. Our benefits still include competitive health plans, a rich wellness program, and a 401(k) plan with a dollar-for-dollar match up to 5%. For more than 20 years, we have offered flexible schedules so clinical employees can work the shift that 's best for them and their families.
Monster: Have employee recognition programs played a role?
Hall: Yes. We put a strong emphasis on providing excellent service to our patients and their families. We recognize service excellence with monthly Service Excellence Awards (SEA) of a $100 American Express Gift Card. Then the top monthly award recipients receive a quarterly award from our CEO, which is $2,500 and a luncheon with the CEO.
In fiscal year 2009, nearly 2,900 employees were recognized with monthly awards -- 105 of those earned quarterly awards. We also have employee picnics, monthly meals for staff, and recognition ceremonies.
Monster: Do you have any recommendations on how to initiate employee satisfaction and recognition programs on a limited budget?
Hall: Adopting the model for doctors doing patient rounds, managers regularly do employee "rounds " to make sure everything is going well. We ask employees for ideas they have for improvement and whether they have the tools they need to do their jobs. If a manager learns that someone was extra helpful to a coworker, the manager hand-writes a thank-you note and mails it to the employee 's home. Employees really like the gesture and have said very positive things about it.
Each hospital has its own recognition programs whose honorees are often nominated for cash Service Excellence Award. Before we instituted the SEA program, these recognition programs offered lower-cost awards such as pins that employees could wear on their badges or lunch with their President. These programs were well received and effective; we just wanted to put extra focus on service by implementing a system-wide cash award program.
Monster: What other efforts have helped your company maintain a positive workplace environment?
Hall: One of the most effective ways we have to maintain a positive workplace environment is to offer employees a variety of opportunities to influence decisions that affect their jobs. Every two years, we conduct an employee survey and then share the results. We then create an action-plan that involves every level of management.
The most impressive example of a change we made in response to our survey occurred in 2008. In late 2006, our employee survey showed dissatisfaction with our medical insurance options. We had eliminated a PPO plan and offered two different consumer-driven plans. We added a PPO plan to our 2008 medical insurance offerings and we saw a 32% jump in satisfaction with our medical benefits in the survey conducted later that year.
Non-management employees are encouraged to serve on staff advisory councils and partnership councils. They are consulted about decisions involving patient care, process improvement, equipment purchases and more.
In our environment, everyone has a voice, no matter what their role is. We listen and act on all our employees ' concerns.
Monster: Are there ways to build camaraderie when times get tough?
Hall: While it 's easy to lose sight of things during difficult times, we keep focused on our mission: to serve all people through exemplary health care, education, research and community service. Our employees are inspired by our mission, which doesn 't change when the economy changes.
Also, our employees often use the term "family " when referring to their coworkers. Everyone supports each other so we can all give exemplary care to our patients. If an employee is going through a health crisis or personal situation, it 's common for coworkers to help them out, support them or pray with them until they 've recovered. One employee even gave his manager a kidney.
Building camaraderie can be as simple as allowing employees to have fun together. Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine recently held an employee dance video contest. Winning videos were shown at their monthly "town hall " meeting, which had the greatest attendance in recent history. There can be a reluctance to engage in these types of activities when times are tough, but that may be the very time such team-building activities are most needed.
Monster: Do you plan to maintain any new initiatives even after the economy recovers?
Hall: Yes. Our new initiatives such as a revamped performance management process, Service Excellence Award program and a first-ever system-wide new hire orientation program were driven by Baylor 's dedication to continuous improvement. They weren 't developed as a response to the economy.
Monster: Do you have any other recommendations for maintaining a great work environment in a downturn?
Hall: We recommend always maintaining a great work environment because happy employees take better care of their patients. So we focus on the talent management cycle by hiring the best person for the job, onboarding them quickly and effectively and motivating them with clear goals to help them see the value of the work that they do.
In terms of potential new hires, we use behavioral interviewing to help us focus on a candidate's past actions and observable behaviors, which are strong indicators of future performance and their cultural fit. Peer interviews give us another valuable perspective on a candidate 's potential fit with the team. We focus on getting our new hires quickly engaged with a well-designed orientation program. This sets them up for success by facilitating the development of productive working relationships and acclimating them to Baylor 's culture. Then, we set performance expectations that show employees the value of their work and we reward them for good performance.
About the Company Baylor Health Care System is a faith-based, not-for-profit health care provider that exists to serve all people through exemplary health care, education, research and community service. The Baylor system is made up of 15 hospitals and more than 120 clinics united by our vision: to be trusted as the best place to give and receive safe, quality, compassionate health care.
About the Author As Vice President of Talent Acquisition and Retention at Baylor Health Care System, Becky Hall provides strategic leadership and direction on short- and long-term work force planning. She led the focus on a new recruitment structure and processes along with retention programs that are critical for Baylor's continued success. Since joining Baylor in 2001, she has implemented significant changes in HR programs such as enhanced retirement savings plans and implementation of a consumer driven health plan while in various management positions. Her 20 years of business experience continues to influence the human resources programs needed to support Baylor's more than 19,000 employees and the changing health care industry.

Yes, I have not been able to edit my lists either, and I tried to create a new one but I can't put any new names on it. It won't let me save or delete lists. I think it's something to do with the new site. Things look funny for me in general -- I wonder if they tested the site in multiple browsers, because even the homepage looks out of whack on my screen.
Mom to Alexander Patrick (9), Madelyn Esther (7), and Genevieve Susan (2). Expecting Theodore James in February 2014!
Baby #4 will be the last for us, so I am kind of sad to be saying goodbye to the beloved names I will now never use! At least I can still come here to encourage others to use them!

I think everyone is having this problem. It's really annoying because it's one of the main functions of nameberry. I wish they would fix it or at least acknowledge that there is a problem so that we know it is getting fixed.

I'm having this problem - I'm trying to add names to my list but it won't save them. It's really annoying because I end up forgetting names that I want to add to my lists, so have to spend a while trawling through my browser history to find names I've searched for.

From left: Sifiso Mazibuko, Logan Rathmann and Cristina Castro in The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Who will solve the mystery?
And what unexpected pair will sing the lovers' duet for a happy ending?
Theatergoers have the power to answer those questions and thus determine the ending at each performance of The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
The Ohio State University Theater Department and School of Music are presenting the interactive musical mystery, which continues through Sunday in Drake Center's Thurber Theatre.
"It's a frothy Victorian romp and a solve-it-yourself musical unique in the history of Broadway," said A. Scott Parry, director of opera at the OSU School of Music. Parry is director and musical director-conductor of the production.
"The conceit is when you go through the doors of Thurber Theatre, you're transported to 1892 to the London West End's Music Hall Royale, where the troupe is putting on their production of Dickens' mystery."
Rupert Holmes wrote the book, lyrics and music for the show, which he adapted from Charles Dickens' 1870 novel into an interactive play-within-the-play.
The interactive approach was born of necessity.
"Dickens died just over halfway through writing the novel," Parry said.
"He introduced a detective character called Dick Datchery, who was one of the other characters in disguise but he died before he revealed who that character was, who the murderer was or how it ended."
The Broadway production, which ran from 1985 to 1987, won five Tony awards, including best musical, book, score and direction.
"It's a meta-theatrical mystery, sort of like putting Clue the Movie onstage," said Cristina Castro, 23.
Castro alternates with Kristen Kuivial in the double role of Deirdre Peregrine, a British
music-hall actress, and Rosa Bud, an orphan engaged to young Edwin Drood, who mysteriously disappears one Christmas Eve.
"The other double roles are more different," said Castro, a second-year master's student in the School of Music.
"But it's more difficult for me because Deirdre — very innocent and a little ditsy and air-headed — is typecast for the role of Rosa Bud, so the two roles are similar."
Sifiso Mazibuko, 24, plays leading-man actor Clive Padgett and Drood's Uncle Hohn Jasper, the split-personality choirmaster madly in love with Rosa Bud, his music student.
"Jasper is quite a dual character, very obsessive and cunning," said Mazibuko, a South African actor in OSU's graduate-level master's acting program.
"He's the villain, an occasional opium, laudanum and wine user who's had too many fantasies about Rosa Bud. . . . It seems over the top, but it works for the Victorian-era play."
The performances need to be broad, Parry said, to underscore the hammy personas of the music-hall actors as well as the melodramatic characters they play in Dickens' tale.
But the broadness has limits.
"Although there is a certain caricature-ness to how we portray the comedy, underneath that are real Victorian performers who have stresses and relationships and are earning a paycheck," he said.
The Victorian actors emerge in an interactive pre-show to explain the rules and begin lobbying for the audience's votes so they have a greater chance of appearing in the final scene.
"There are many tens of different combinations of endings, actually hundreds given all the characters who possibly have to be paired up," Parry said.
"We have to rehearse every single ending but every night the audience only votes on one."

I'm new to this board, so I'm not sure where to post this question, but here goes anyway. I had a great-great uncle who was killed in the Civil War on April 7, 1865. An article in his hometown newpaper reads as follows:
However, I can find no record of a 'Battle of Petersburg' on April 7, 1865, only the Battle of Farmville (65 miles from Petersburg). Could this be a mistake in the reporting, or possibly a separate skirmish that did occur on the Weldon Railroad below Petersburg on the same date ? I'm confused and am wondering if anyone has any ideas ... Thanks. |

tcurrier- Petersburg fell on April 2, 1865. Its my guess that he was killed on that day. It would have been easy for the folks at the newspaper to confuse a :"2" with a "7." |

Welcome to the board, My guess is that your ancestor was a member of the 81st Pa. Infantry, which had a Clayton D. Grist in their unit. Your guess on Farmville is probably correct, as the 81st had an engagement there on the date of his death.... Continuing its pursuit westward on April 7, the brigade encountered the temporarily entrenched enemy at Farmville (50 miles west of Petersburg). Ordered to force the Confederate position here, division commander General Miles sent the 81st PA, 2nd NYHA, and part of the 5th NH to envelop the enemy's left. The attack, however, became suicidal. Made against superior numbers and over broken ground, it was repulsed severely, although counterattacks were beaten off. The Confederates abandoned this position at midnight, and the next day the brigade reached Holliday Creek (10 miles east of Appomattox/60 miles west of Petersburg) by late afternoon. Welcome again, and good luck on your search. |

You are correct. Clayton (I misspelled his name previously) was a member of the 81st PA infantry. In previous genealogies, it was mentioned that he was killed in the Battle of Farmville, so when I obtained the newspaper article, I was confused to see 'Battle of Petersburg' and the 'Weldon Railroad' mentioned. I have also recently obtained records from the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington that contains a 'Casualty Sheet'. In it, it does state that the date of his death was in fact April 7, 1865. Under 'battle of', it says 'not stated', but under 'remarks', it says 'killed in action April 7th 1865, near Farmville, VA. It's becoming apparent that it was in fact the Battle of Farmville that resulted in his death, despite what the newspaper article reported. |

Hello: To find this information about Clayton is a stroke of luck. As it turns out, he's an ancestor of mine, which makes you a distant relative. I won't burden this board with the genealogical details, but PLEASE get in touch with me and we'll share notes as to how we are related. I'm very pleased to see that newspaper clipping! That will go into my family research archive. Speaking of which, my record of Clayton's service always said, "Died in the Battle of the Wilderness." I'm happy now I can be more specific. I also believe I know where his grave is! Take care! Bruce |

Bruce, Clayton was my Great Great Grandmother Ida Grist's brother. I moved here from NY State 35 years ago, without even realizing that I had ancestors that lived close by here. I know where Clayton's grave stone is. It is located in Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Petersburg, VA. I have a photo of the grave stone, but the inscription isn't really legible. You may email me at firstname.lastname@example.com I'll be glad to share the genealogical details.... Tom Currier |

It is quite possible that he was wounded earlier and lingered until the 7th. At that time of the war, hospital folks were not too picky over noting the deceased's day of wounding. I have a relative whose death date is different on at least 3 documents... HankC |

tcurrier- Being mortally wounded does not necessarily mean that you will die on that day. It simply means that you have received a wound that it is recognized will be the cause of your death. For example, being shot through the intestines was recognizable as a mortal wound because the surgeons of the day were unable to do anything effective about it. General Stuart received a mortal wound on June 11, 1864 and died the next day. James Ewell Brown "J.E.B." Stuart (1833 - 1864) - Find A Grave Memorial Likewise, General Barksdale received a mortal wound on July 2, 1863 and died the next day. William Barksdale (1821 - 1863) - Find A Grave Memorial General Armistead lingered for two days in a field hospital after receiving a mortal wound. Lewis Addison Armistead (1817 - 1863) - Find A Grave Memorial All of this aside, I agree with you that it is more likely that the person who died on April 7, 1865 received his wound on the 7th, rather than on the 2nd. But that is not a certainty from the information available. |

You've noticed, tcurrier, all the guessing. There never was a "Battle of Petersburg." I'm figurting that your ancestor fell at Farmville. The date works. |

JB Hooks
Online Reservations
Great selection of seafood..prices fair.Service was exceleent.Would definitely go back again.Our waiter Tony was outstanding!!
We dined here for lunch. It was my 18 year-old son and his friend. They loved their meals (had seafood, as well as steak tips) and I had the BEST oysters I have ever had! They were fresh, huge, juicy and the horseradish was phenomenal! Incredible view was merely the topper!
The view of the Lake is second-to-none, the food - steak, shrimp or fish - is fabulous. You'll pay a lot, but you'll get what you pay for.
This restaurant has an excellent view of a large span of the Lake of the Ozarks. The views from the dinning tables are excellent as well. The food quality was outstanding, and exceeded every expectation. The plating was also very elegant. The price is slightly higher compared with most restaurants in the area, however it is well worth it. This is an excellent place for special occasion dinners. The attire is casual, although one would not feel out of place wearing a nice suit. The atmosphere is fantastic, having a nice open dining room filled with a great view. Overall, this would be one of the finer restaurants around the Lake of the Ozarks
Excellent food,awesome service and a quiet setting make for a really awesome dining experience that can't be beat. Had an awesome time and will return soon.
Everything was absolutely PERFECT! We are foodies and quite particular and we would not have changed 1 thing! WOW! We will be back!!!! The service could not have been better and the view spectacular! Thanks you for an incredible evening!!
We had a wonderful meal. Service could not have been better. After dinner we wanted to sit by a window in the bar and have a drink and they opened a room that was closed so we could have a beautiful view. Very impressed. We will be returning.
We took out of town guests to JB Hooks, telling them it was our favorite place at Lake of the Ozarks. The food and service were top-notch as usual. Thank you for a great evening!
Overall was very good dining experience. We went for my wifes 40th B-Day and were surprised that on a Friday evening that they were out of baked potatoes. I would say just a strange fluke with the potatoes because everything else was very good. We sat outside and had a wonderful view, probably the best view at the lake. They brought my wife a B-Day dessert and the young man cleaning tables sang Happy B-Day to her, and was very impressive with his vocal talents. Price is on the upper end, but was very good. Overall I would give an A- (no baked potatoes).
We had been to J. B. Hooks many times over the years. The experience was as good as we remembered it. The ambiance was great as was the service. The only negative was the sharp increase in prices since the last time. My wife and I had the Steak Neptune and it was more expensive than before and smaller in size. Supposedly 6 ounce, it appeared more like 4 ounces, had a few tiny pieces of lobster and no sauce. That had always been our favorite dish at J. B. Hooks. Still enjoyable, but at $39.00 for the entree, it was not much for the money and a bit disappointing. Despite that, we would still recommend it and we will return when at the lake. we'll just order something else.
This was my first time there but will not be my last!! Although it is a bit pricey you get what you pay for. The food was amazing! I can't even describe how good everything was...mouthwatering! Service was outstanding!! And the ambiance of the place was so romantic!! I can't say enough about JB Hooks! WOW!
We had a great view of the lake. We enjoyed a bottle of wine as we watched the boats below. Our meals were excellent. We didnt leave room for dessert.
Took friends who had never been there before and they were very impressed with food and view. Thank you.
My first visit to Hooks was an evening to remember. Both the food and the view were exceptional. I look forward to many more visits.
the best seafood in Missouri! [oysters] Great views and service - expensive so it is for a special occasion. The Woodbridge filet was outstanding. Can sit inside our out right above the lake.
found this place by accident when googling restaurants in the area and what a find, with beautiful views and great food what more could you ask for, excellent service as well,
Hands down, the best meal we've experienced at an eatery!
We treated my cousins on their 60th wedding anniversary at J. B. Hooks. They loved it. They had never been there. It was a great evening. The restaurant gave them a complimentary crème brulee.
Had a great meal and service. Richard did a outstanding giving us the details of the food items. The meal was very good and the oysters were some of the best I've had and being from Baltimore I've had some great oysters. Keith the manger was very understanding that we arrived a little late as was the whole staff. Thanks again for a great time and I highly recommend JB Hooks for a wonderful experience.
My wife and I came here for our 10 year anniversary. The view was amazing of the lake! The service was outstanding and the food was incredible! All of this should make for a romantic meal, however it was SO LOUD, I couldn't hardly hear my wife when she was talking! There were some very large groups in there that were not respectful of everyone else around them and I understand that the management really couldn't do anything about it, but maybe some acoustic panels or something in there could help with that problem. I'm sure it's not everyday that it is so loud, however - I still would highly recommend this resturaunt to anyone!!
Great outdoor covered seating area overlooking the lake! Our dinner was really good and we would come back again. The happy hour appetizers were good, especially the bam bam shrimp. The only issue we had was that there weren't more 'customer friendly' drink specials during happy hour. We ordered wine and it was only $1 off the regular price, which made the cost $9/glass. Not much of a "happy" hour price.
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience with our college daughters! The food was amazing and so was the service. Will definitely come back. Thanks
I made a reservation for my husband and me for dinner. We were very pleased with the service and the food. We sat out on the patio. What a fantastic view of the lake! It was a beautiful night and we watched the sunset. We both ordered fish dishes and they were deilicious. Loved the wine list and the pita bread that was served with the salads. We will definitely return.
I made reservations online which was extremely easy. Ordered the stuffed mushrooms, steak & Australian lobster. It was such an incredible meal! Also a storm was moving in so we had a great view of the lightning show on the patio. Staff was attentive & didn't rush us. Overall a great experience. We'll be back!
This was one of the best places I have ever eaten at. The food was so good and the view was fantastic. I wish I could eat here everyday!
Had a great meal at a very reasonable price. Great view from our table of six. John our server was excellent.
This is the best restaurant at Lake of the Ozarks! You can make a window table reservation online, did not wait 5 minutes for our table, the server and service was exceptional and it was the highlight of our vacation. We just bought a condo at StoneLedge so we will be back time and again. Thank you Hooks!
The experience was exactly what everyone said it was. The food was great and everything turned out perfect from the reservation and being able to change the time but still get the same type of seating, I couldn't have asked for better. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great date night dining experience.
We ate dinner on the deck. We not only saw a spectacular sunset, we had excellent wine and a delicious meal. I ate the salmon special, which was prepared perfectly with a fantastic sauce and lump crab meat. The others really enjoyed steak Woodrow. We loved the bar be que shrimp! The ambience can't be beat and for all of the food (and wine) the price was reasonable.
Went here for our 25th Anniversary. Dinner and service were 5 star quality. We both had the Steak and Lobster, best we've ever had! My husband had his with a Kansas City Strip, I had a Filet done "Neptune" style with stuffed shrimp, crab, and bernaise sauce....absolutely heavenly! The views of Lake of the Ozark are stunning. The ambiance is amazing. The bar has a fabulous Happy Hour on Tuesdays and Fridays with great drink prices, 1/2 off delicious appetizers, and great piano music. This place is a must for dinner or any special occasion!!!
Good food, very good service and the view of Lake of the Ozarks is unmatched. Lovely dining experience. Very pricey. Factor the price in for an impressive evening overlooking the lake and you will certainly have a nice evening.
Everything was excellent (service, enviornment, food, etc.). I got the crab cakes and they were really good, my boyfriend got a steak and that was very tasty also. They have a good cocktail menu. We had good service before and after dinner. My boyfriend's car battery died and they were willing to help us jump his truck and recommend us where to go!
Was a great place to dine for our Anniversary, excellent food, service and great view of the lake,
The food was great, it was incredibly busy but service was still very good. The view was excellent. The cocktails and appetizers were great! We ate way too much but it was way too much fun. I'd recommend to anyone and everyone.
The food here was excellent. We went to Baxter's the night before and I would say that both places are both equally outstanding in their own ways. The steak was cooked to perfection. Our server was hilarious. We enjoy a good laugh. Would return here.
J.B. Hooks is the class of the Lake of the Ozarks. The view of the Lake, the great food and the service of John G made our anniversary dinner a special occasion. The prime rib was the best I have ever had and the Mahi Mahi was very good as well. John gave us some great guidance on sides, appetizers and desserts and was he made sure we had a great time as well! Can wait to come back!
We were able to get a reservation and a wonderful table with just a little bit of notice. The food was excellent in spite of the number of orders that were being prepared and the service was outstanding. We really enjoyed our evening on a crowded weekend.
This is the nicest dining spot that I have found at the Lake of the Ozarks. The view from the dining room is wonderful and the atmosphere is romantic if you are in that mood. The seafood selections are as good as any most anywhere and certainly as good as any in Missouri. The service and attention are excellent. It was definitely memorable.
I was extremely pleased with everything at JB Hooks. There were 4 people in the party that had never been there before and they absolutely loved it as did we Thanks for making our night special
We were in a confined room with another large group, and the noise was unbearable. The other group was exceptionally loud and disruptive, unusual for a restaurant with the JB Hooks reputation. We couldn't hear ourselves think, let alone have a normal conversation.
Tony was a great server! Our food order came out fast, and delicious! We sat inside because it was dark, but I can imagine how beautiful it would be to sit outside at sunset!! Love it!
Excellent service and food, very accommodating every time we go. (About once a year while on vacation) they are very attentive without being intrusive.
Elegant outdoor dining accompanied by a beautiful sunset, JB Hooks is on our return list!!
It was our first time at JB Hooks and everything was perfect! Service was great and had extra attention not just from our server, Kim, but owner and another gentleman stopped to check on us. Wonderful BBQ shrimp appetizer, French Onion soup and perfectly done Prime Rib. View is exceptional, atmosphere is warm and inviting, and staff exceptional. It was a treat for us and we'll be back!
JB Hooks never disappoints we have gone several times. One of my favorite restaurants of all time,and I travel world wide for work. I love their wine list and have never had something on the menu I didn't love. I recommend this place to everyone I talk to. Staff is amazing and the menu is better,the pricing is exactly where it should be for the quality you receive.
We had a beautiful spot overlooking the lake just as the sun was setting everything would of been perfect except for the screaming child the was allowed to go up and down the stairs, right in front if us. He was around one and he's two older sibbing was taking him for a walk up and down the stairs probably because he wasn't well behaved at the table.I could tell this was even bothering the waiting staff. We had steak and lobster and lobster dinners three of us celebrating BDs it would be nice to enjoy a beautiful dinner at a beautiful setting in a less noisy setting. Our bill for four was almost four hundred dollars. Maybe you need a family section and a adult one. Someone should of talked to the parents
JB Hooks has consistently been outstanding over the years and we keep going back time and time again-we are never disappointed. The food is of the finest quality and the lake views are amazing.
Had a lovely dinner here. Service was great. Highly recommend the scallops - generous portion and prepared perfectly.
Thank you for a very enjoyable dining experience. The staff could NOT have been more friendly or accommodating. The food was great. You made a special evening into a memorable evening.
Such a wonderful place. Food was excellent and the staff were very gracious and accomodating. This is our "special" treat restaruant--and sometimes just our drop in for lunch restaturant.
