Many of the campaigns to stop texting and driving have been aimed at hyper-connected teens, but a new survey from AT&T shows adults are more likely to be driving distracted.
Nearly half of adults surveyed, 49 percent, said they text and drive – even though nearly all of them say they know the habit is dangerous. Ninety-eight percent of adult drivers surveyed said they know that distracted driving isn't safe. But the trend actually appears to be on the rise, AT&T said, as six out of 10 drivers said they never texted behind the wheel just three years ago.
The top reasons that adults gave for their behavior were that sending a text while driving has become second nature, they feel it makes them more productive and it helps them feel connected.
While the survey showed adults were more likely to engage in the bad habit, 43 percent of teens also said they were sending messages while behind the wheel.
The survey on teens provided a bit more data on why young people choose to text and drive. One reason is that most text-message users, the survey said, expect a reply within five minutes or less – 48 percent of teens said they expect a response right away once they send a text message.
Parents' behavior, teens said, has a big influence on their own actions.

July 16, 2014, 11:07 AM

Big House Red has always been somewhat of a social deviant. No more Mr. Rhônely-hearts; sangiovese became him. Donning a crushed-velvet cape he quickly headed out for pizza. The 1998 Big House presents a distinctly Tuscan profile with a little more smoke, tar, and blacker fruit than we have seen in the recent past: a little more earth, a little less lip gloss. Black cherry, black pepper, and the everpresent raspberry are complemented by slightly furrier tannins and, of course, a longer Roman nose. Varietal composition: Sangiovese, Carignane, Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, Valdiguié, Barbera, etc.

NVD Sports Blog with Chuck Mcgill Archives
Friday Night Football -- Week 6 -- Live Blog (from the sports desk)
Here's a list of tonight games:
4:38 -- I'm Tommy Keeler filling in for Chuck this week as he gets hitched and I'm literally sitting in his chair. This week should be another exciting week and I'll try to keep everyone informed with updates as much as possible.
6:39 -- Sorry for the delay. I took a break to get a bite to eat with Craig Juer at the Strasburg Theatre. Good food! Tonight we have a fine selection of reporters out covering games for us. Craig is at the Skyline-Handley game, Dennis Atwood is at Stonewall, Jeremy Stafford is at Warren County, Robert Edmonds is at Strasburg and Alyssa Goodson is at Clarke County. Look for their stories on the games in tomorrow's sports section.
6:53 -- Feel free to send comments on the games throughout the night. Also, check out Tim Tassa's story in tomorrow's section on Shenandoah's game with Christopher Newport. There is also another diary entry from Sherando's Hunter Taylor. Games should be starting soon and I'm sure updates will be coming shortly after.
7:37 -- Craig Juer reports Handley leads 3-0 9:09 left first quarter. This could be a high-scoring game.
7:52 -- I want to give a shout-out to the Strasburg class of 88, celebrating its 20-year reunion at the Strasburg game tonight. Yes, I am a part of that class and I won't comment on my age.
8:06 -- Update from Nokesville, Brentsville 10-0 over Millbrook. That's very surprising. The Pioneers need to turn it around quickly or their playoff hopes may be down the drain.
8:22 Craig reports that it is still 3-0 Handley at the half. So much for the offense in this one. Handley's strong defensive front has held Skyline to only 10 yards rushing, despite being without Warren Pink (shoulder injury). The Judges are using zone coverage to also slow down Skyline's passing game.
8:28 -- No, Bernie that is not a misprint. That is his name. He's actually one of Handley's better defensive lineman, but he's been battling injuries all year. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the game plays out.
8:33 -- Brentsville is now up 17-7 at the half. The Pioneers will need another strong second half like they had against Spotswood earlier this year if they're going to come back.
8:44 -- Alyssa reports Clarke is up 17-0 at the half. Dennis is reporting a 13-13 tie in the Stonewall game. The Generals are doing it without Colton Koontz, who broke his ankle in last week's win and is done for the year. They led 13-0, but undefeated Madison County came back strong in the second quarter. One note here: Craig was the only one who picked Stonewall. He could gain a game on every one if the Generals can pull it out. John-Michael Pirtle threw a touchdown pass for Stonewall (The Generals don't throw touchdown passes very often). Bernie, you'll be sad to know that Riverheads is up 24-7 at the half on Bath County.
8:55 Skyline has taken a 6-3 lead on a 5-yard TD run by Cliff Woodard. The run was set-up by a 37-yard run by Woodard and a 47-yard reception by Andrew Thorne. There is 7:20 left in the third quarter. I don't think there's any doubt Skyline is for real.
8:59 No, Bernie we do not put wagers on picks. If we did, it wouldn't be looking too good for me these days. There's no way I would wear a Hannah Montana t-shirt! Clarke County plays Madison in two weeks and that should be a great game that could decide the district title. On another note: It looks like Chuck's Tampa Bay Rays will go up 2-0 in their series.
9:16 Jeremiah Wilson just did it again. He returned a punt for a 66-yard TD. Handley leads 16-6 with 11:43 left in the game. That's at least 14 TDs for him already this year.
9:29 Millbrook now leads 21-17 heading into the fourth quarter. I have not heard from the Warren County game, but I will pass that along as soon as I hear something. Madison County now leads Stonewall 26-13 in fourth. Looks like Craig may not gain a game after all. Bernie, I'm not sure what the record is, but he has to be on pace for one. The good news for Handley is he is only a junior.
9:41 Updates! Madison County 26, Stonewall Jackson 13, final. Skyline just scored on a 7-yard pass from Nathaniel White to Thorne. It's now 16-12 in the fourth.
9:49 Another final. Handley beats Skyline 16-12. That puts the Judges at 4-1 this season, while Skyline falls to 5-1.
9:59 -- Another final, Millbrook 33, Brentsville 23. It looks like the Pioneers' offense got it together in the second half.
10:01 The final scores keep rolling in. James Wood beat Warren County in a shootout, 35-26.
10:21 So much for Strasburg's Homecoming. Luray 35, Strasburg 0, final. Clarke County also beat Page County 24-6. Yes, Bernie I will be back next week, while Chuck is on his honeymoon. Thanks for the kind words.
10:42 -- Some noteworthy numbers from tonight: Jeremiah Wilson had 126 yards on 22 carries for the Judges. Andrew Thorne, who was named Homecoming King, had 100 yards on four receptions and a TD. In the James Wood game, the Colonels rushed for 342 yards. Brandon Shiley led the way with 103 yards on 10 carries. Make sure to read our sports section tomorrow for the stories on the games.

I was affiliated with Dr. Michels because he was my brother's doctor and I was my brother caregiver. He was an excellent doctor and medical advisor. He was straightforward and didn't tell you what you wanted to hear, he told you the truth. Maybe this is why someone rated his bedside manners one star. Some people can't deal with the truth. However, he stayed on top of your healthcare. One of main reasons I care so much about Dr. Michels because he always had blood work done, which kept him on top of what was going on and if your lab results was irregular, he followed up until the problem was resolved. How many primary doctors order blood work each time you see them?? Even when a doctor prescribed medications that can cause other problems and you should have blood work done to prevent other complications; there are many doctors who don't care. All they want to do is listen to your heart and breathing, ask what problem you're experiencing, write you a prescription and leave. They've scheduled so many patients to see, where they can only spend 10 minutes with you. Dr. Michele wasn't like that at all. Now, if you needed to see others doctors regarding other matters and asked Dr. Michels to refer a doctor; his choices always turned out to be exceptional as well. From a neurologist to a podiatrist he had excellent referrals. I kept Dr. Michel my brother's doctor for 16 years and told him if he would leave the state, we would have to pack up and follow him. So if you're looking for a exceptional doctor who's going to be honest with you, tell you some things you may not want to hear but its the best for your health and situation, then go see Dr. Michele. One last thing, when he moved to another faculty who had their own staff, those staff members wasn't has good as the staff at his previous office. I wish he could have taken all of them with him: they were the best supporting people that worked with Dr. Michels.

The Obama campaign often sums up the president's accomplishments like this: "Osama bin Laden is dead. General Motors is alive."
But Mitt Romney, whose campaign has struggled to overcome his "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" op-ed, is no longer ceding the bailout ground. In an ad running in Ohio to coincide with President Obama's trip there Wednesday, the Romney camp contends that "in 2009, under the Obama administration's bailout of General Motors, Ohio dealerships were forced to close."
The spot, financed in part by the Republican National Committee, features Al Zarzour of Lyndhurst, Ohio, voice shaking as he recounts receiving "a letter from General Motors. They were suspending my credit line. We had 30 some employees that were out of work."

Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen lead tributes to late cinematographer Gordon Willis
Directors Francis Ford Coppola and Woody Allen have lead the tributes to Gordon Willis, the cinematographer behind 'The Godfather' and 'Annie Hall', who passed away at the age of 82 recently.
According the Deadline.com, 'The Godfather' films helmer Coppola, said that Willis "ice-skated on the film emulsion" and was a rare cinematic mastermind with a "precise aesthetic".
Allen, with whom the late cinematographer worked on films such as 'Manhattan', 'Annie Hall' and 'Stardust Memories' among others, said that Willis was one of the few people who actually lived up to all the hype about him.
The 82-year-old, who was known as 'The Prince of Darkness' for his use of shadow in cinema, had earned the first of his two Oscar nominations for Allen's 1983 film 'Zelig'.
Meanwhile, Stephen Pizzello, Editor of American Cinematographer Magazine, who worked with Willis on a book based on the cinematographer's career, added that Willis' features would be carved into the rock face if there were a Mount Rushmore for cinematographers.
His legacy as one of Hollywood's greatest cameramen is secure and his work remains a key influence on many top cinematographers, he added.

1. Jimmy Graham has a high tolerance for pain!
I was surprised to hear that Jimmy Graham was going to be active in this game after hearing the details about his injury. He had a partially torn plantar fascia in his foot. The plantar fascia is a band of fibrous tissue that extends along the underside of the foot. The pain feels like it is radiating throughout your entire foot. This injury usually sidelines wide receivers for weeks! Then he goes out and catches 3 balls for two touchdowns and 37 yards! Big props to Jimmy!

Western PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous 2013
Posted by: 85dragonfly on Oct-13-12 12:07 PM (EST)
A way in advance heads-up so y�all can mark your calendars - The 6th Annual Western PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous will be held on the first full weekend of June in 2013. This is Friday (May 31) through Saturday/Sunday June 1,2. It will be held again at the usual site at Cooper�s Lake Campground in Portersville PA. The Rendezvous is a gathering of solo canoe enthusiasts� in particular (though tandems are by no means excluded). It features various manufacturers and designers of solo canoes with demo models of their boats available for test-paddling; demonstrations of, and informal instruction in, FreeStyle paddling; assorted programs on various aspects of canoe design, construction, and use in the real world; food; sometimes some live entertainment (depends on who we can lean on) on one or both evenings (Fri and Sat)(perhaps a few members of the FreeStyle String Band shall be in attendance); Dead Fish Polo; a Candlelight Paddle on Saturday evening if the weather smiles; pick-up paddling trips on local streams/rivers;� informal gear/boat sales and swaps; a pot-luck Vegetarian dinner on the Friday night that can�t be beat: and Goodness Knows Whatall.� It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in solo canoes for 60 some hours (or more) to the exclusion of all other reality. An event which is informal and laid-back to a fare-thee-well.
Everyone is encouraged to bring their own solo craft, since at least part of the experience is being able to look over (and perhaps paddle) a large array of classic solo canoes that you just don�t see all that often.�
There is no charge for the Event per se, though the Campground does charge a modest fee for Day-Trippers, and of course assesses a fee for camping. This early in the game precise details as to scheduling, who will be attending, and the like are by no means set. �We will provide such info as it becomes available on the Rendezvous� website� wpascr.org�� so check with us periodically.� That website will also contain info on directions to find us, and a link to the campground�s site so you may contact them directly as regards camping reservations (though there�s many acres of space in the area where the Rendezvous is held, and reservations are generally not really necessary).
And speaking of the website � one of our attendees in 2011 was Nelson Hermance, from the Chicago area. Nelson�s business, Fischer Software, is (among other things) the creation, design, and maintenance of websites. Nelson and Fischer very graciously offered to rehab/redesign� the site, and make a number of changes, and continues to maintain the site for us. For this Becky and I could not be more grateful. The archived pictures from our first five years give one a pretty good idea of what the event is like. Thanks Much, Nelson and Fischer Software.
So please do come � like the sign says, it�s a Very Nice Affair Indeed.

Posted by: RedCrossRandy on Nov-30-12 11:14 AM (EST)
for 2013. Much as I love Raystown weekend, it always conflicts with the Charlotte Nascar race and the Suwanee River Challenge which I've been dying to do. I imagine I'd probably see much of the same folks from Raystown at Cooper's Lake!
Posted by: pblanc on Nov-30-12 12:46 PM (EST)
You will certainly see some of the same people there and as I recall, the camping fees are significantly more modest than they are at Raystown.
Also Lake Aurthur....
Posted by: coronaboy on Dec-01-12 1:55 PM (EST)
is right around maybe 15 minutes away and is a substantial body of water...
Isn't Moraine State Park nearby?
Posted by: RedCrossRandy on Dec-10-12 9:19 AM (EST)
Good water there too! Is there a Saturday night pot luck supper too?
Posted by: pblanc on Dec-10-12 9:52 AM (EST)
Moraine State Park is on Lake Arthur which is right next door.
west PA solo canoe rendezvous
Posted by: 85dragonfly on Apr-11-13 6:09 PM (EST)
Just to check in and remind everyone � indeed the 6th annual (2013) West PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous is a Go for the first full weekend of June, which is to say Fri, May 31, Sat/Sun June 1,2 In keeping with the traditionally laid-back nature of this event, most stuff will take place on the Saturday, and we probably won�t know what that is until some time Sat AM. Friday tends to be a day of arrival, sayin� Hi, and lookin� at boats, lotsa visiting and catching up, though there are always a few of us around beforehand, and if the waters will allow, we may do some pick-up paddling on some local waterways. We expect some manufacturers to be present with some demo boats; there will be some FreeStyle instruction and exhibition; Dead Fish Polo is always an option; a candle-light paddle Sat eve if the weather smiles; possibly a Giant Schlalom buoy race (must be seen to be believed, but even one�s own eyeballs may not convince � loads of Fabulous Prizes!); some iteration of the FreeStyle String Band should be on hand for some (very) informal music in the evenings; the LAR Vegetarian Pot-Luck on Friday night for the fun (and taste) of it; and like that. Yeah the emphasis is on solo canoes, but tandems are equally welcome. Got a boat or some gear to sell? Bring it. There will be some food available on the Saturday and Sun Am � we�ll let you know about that a little closer. Details on Whatever available on the website wpascr.org as they are known. Questions may be asked there too � I try to monitor the site regularly for that purpose, but �regularly� is a relative term. Use �contact� to reach us directly. Do come. As we always say � and it�s true � it�s a Very Nice Affair Indeed.
2013 Rendezvous update
Posted by: 85dragonfly on May-12-13 1:36 PM (EST)
All is good for 2013. We know that Hemlock Canoe, Colden Canoe, and Dogpaddle Canoe and Woodworks will be on hand. Not yet sure about Placid Boatworks yet - they are still recovering from their disastrous winter fire, but are back in production again. Our local Boat shop, Wind 'n Water Boatworks will be represented, and we know a number of our FreeStyle friends will be along.

November 2009 - Alumni Spotlight - Randy SuttonThis alumni spotlight was originally shown in the November 2009 IEM Newsletter.
November's featured IEM alumnus is Randy Sutton, Engineering Manager at Vulcan Engineering Company. Randy's responsibilities include; completing design reviews, creating project control mechanisms, and initiating and refining standards for pricing and project control. Prior to joining Vulcan, Randy was a Project Engineering Manager with HMC Technologies in New Albany, Mississippi. A common thread throughout Randy's career has been a passion for process, more on that later.
Randy received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UAB back in 1991. Randy entered the IEM program in the fall of 2007 and graduated in 2009. Randy is a member of several professional organizations including; ASPE and NCEES. Another interesting fact about Randy is that he is a Registered Professional Engineer in seven states throughout the Southeast.
Recently Randy shared some of his thoughts regarding his IEM experience. Here they are in his words:
"I felt much improved in several aspects, but certainly the greatest value I took away from this program was the confidence it built for me. I have a new found desire to believe, develop, and execute new plans both business and personal that I once would have dismissed, or made excuses to avoid. This confidence and expanded tool set has made me more keenly aware of my desires and capabilities. It indeed enhances my performance and maybe more importantly my motivational point of view.
My technical interests were jolted back alive in software engineering. My experience in project management made "Technical Project Management" very fun for me, I got to share a lot of insight based on my experiences. But I would have to say my favorite was probably Don Appleby's "Strategic Management." It kind of brought it all together for me and reinforced my comfort level with ways to evaluate strategic thinking and decision making.
The human aspect of this experience snuck up on me. I did not expect to have so much in common and become so close to many of my classmates and instructors; it was truly a pleasure to be there, in the moment."
In "Business Process Modeling" Randy authored a well written and interesting article on flowcharts. Randy uses flowcharts in order to "foster understanding" and "bridge the gaps" when he has a process to explain.

October 2009 - Alumni Spotlight - Alan HillThis alumni spotlight was originally shown in the October 2009 IEM Newsletter.
October's featured IEM alumnus is Alan Hill, Center Director and Regional Coordinator at the Alabama Technology Network (ATN). Alan's responsibilities include: coordination, directing staff, marketing, and business development. Prior to joining ATN, Alan was a Senior Project Engineer/Senior Sales Engineer with Clarage Fans/Zurn Air Systems Division. A common thread throughout Alan's career has been a passion for ISO, more on that later.
Alan received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UAB back in 1988. Alan entered the IEM program in the fall of 2007 and graduated in 2009. Alan is a member of several professional organizations including: Society for Quality (ASQ) and the Alabama Automotive Manufacturers Association (AAMA).
Recently Alan shared some of his thoughts regarding his IEM experience. Here they are in his words:
"The greatest value I received from the program was its focus on management practices and principles. I especially liked the speakers that were brought in for the various classes. Insight into their management strategies was interesting and beneficial in my management development.
My favorite class had to be Strategic Management. Shortly before I pursued my IEM degree, I was promoted to Center Director. As part of my responsibility, I became more involved in my organization's strategic management process. This class provided me more insight and a better understanding of this process.
I had several unexpected things that I valued from the IEM program. One was a better understanding of information technology processes such as network systems, network security and software development. The other was the caliber of professionals the program brings in. I thoroughly enjoyed working on class projects with fellow students and found myself learning a great deal from these professionals."
Alan chose to partner with Janaki Peri for his graduate project . Alan was able to utilize his expertise with ISO in order to create a book entitled "A Practical Guide For ISO Quality Management System Implementation."

August 2009 - Alumni Spotlight - Chris LumpkinThis alumni spotlight was originally shown in the August 2009 IEM Newsletter.
August's featured IEM alumni is Chris Lumpkin, Chris is an ASP Administrator III with Automatic Data Processing (ADP). Overall Chris has ten years experience in system administration and seven years of Systems Design and Architecture. In addition to his day job, Chris is also teaching Implementing Active Directory in Windows 2003 Environment at ITT Tech.
Chris came into IT from an untraditional path when after receiving a Bachelor of Social Sciences from Montevallo University. In 2007 he entered the IEM program and hasn't looked back since. One of the biggest surprises for Chris was that the IEM program was very introspective. He learned about goal setting and controlling his destiny and now feels he is capable of achieving more than he ever thought possible.
Chris' favorite class in the IEM program was Business Process Modeling, because he felt that it really summed up the whole program. During the class, he was able to utilize many of the skills gained in the program in order to look for ways to make business processes more efficient. A close second was the Software Engineering course where he was able to see how a software project comes together from behind the curtain.
Chris took a different tact when choosing a topic for his IEM senior project, he decided to pull several goals together and achieve them all at once. He ended up writing a book entitled E. mortal. Chris got the inspiration for this project from many sources; after reading The Goal, he realized that you can teach technical concepts by telling a story, in addition he had committed to a writing group to product a chapter, and finally with the guidance of Don Appleby, his technical advisor. If you are interested in learning more about Chris' book visit his website at http://projectemortal.blogspot.com.

For her graduate project, Johna revisited the premise that IEM was founded upon, "asking senior leadership about their needs in future leaders". This project represented Johna's favorite class in the program. One unexpected benefit that Johna received from IEM program was having an accountability partner to help her grow.
Since graduating from IEM in May 2009, Johna has been filling her spare time with reading, attending cooking classes and wine tastings.
Johna and her husband, Jim, reside in Trussville and attend Holy Infant of Prague Catholic Church. Johna enjoys spending time with Jim, their four dogs and cat.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson is back at practice and has been cleared to face live competition but it sounds like the wait to play in a game will continue. ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted earlier this afternoon that the plan is currently to sit Burleson at least another week:
Lions do not plan to play WR Nate Burleson on Sunday vs. PITT despite fact that he is practicing and feels recovered from broken arm.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 14, 2013
The early thought was that Burleson might be able to return as soon as last week, but that obviously didn't happen. With the team performing well there has been no reason to rush him back and it sounds like this decision is based more on that thinking than anything else.
With the a game against the weak Tampa Bay Buccaneers up next before a short week for Thanksgiving, it is worth wondering if Burleson may not see the field until the Packers come to town.

Squaw Valley, Chamonix, Crystal Mountain
1980-2010 RIP you will be with us always-
The following excerpts are from Arne Backstrom's biography at www.patagonia.com.
During my earlier ski days, my family rolled up to the mountains in a rusty brown 1954 GMC bookmobile. It was a grotesque machine in both looks and mechanics, but every Friday night from December to April, that neurotic old vehicle delivered our family of five the 100 miles from Seattle to Crystal Mountain and provided lodging for the weekend. My sister and brother and I would sit at the table/bed in the back and Mom gripped the dash from the co-pilot position while Dad worked the shifter and struggled to manage 26,000 lbs of momentum with less than adequate brakes. It was an eyesore, scary to drive, cold, and smelled funny, but when it snowed two feet we laughed and said it was paradise. It wasn't luxury living, but it brought the family together, and we skied hard. I probably wouldn't have wished it back then, but those days seem to have set the tone for my life thus far, at least in spirit. I still do whatever it takes to ski as much as I can.
After some years of tearing around the mountain finding secret trails and powder stashes, I began racing at 11. It was the logical next step and provided speed and adrenaline and taught me to push the limits. I enjoyed the competition, and the discipline was good, but I was still out freeskiing as much as possible, and I poached the snowboard park on occasion, too. I ski raced through college, and then with some hard-earned summer cash, took off to Europe and succeeded in spending a serious amount of time on snow, racking up lots of vertical in big terrain. Since then, the thought of a real job has been less and less attractive, and when winter comes around I put everything else aside.
Skiing is a beautiful way to travel in alpine terrain. It provides access to amazing places while leaving only a fleeting trail and allows one to interact with a huge amount of terrain in a short period of time. It allows effortless speed and grace over what would otherwise be scarcely navigable terrain. It's a simple game of resisting and manipulating gravity, and is made possible by the most vital of substances. I am continually amazed and always grateful that this crazy sport exists and has progressed to its current state.
It should be encouraging to all that the smoothest, best skiers on the mountain are almost always the older guys and gals who have perfected the art of matching speed and turn shape with snow and terrain. With the right amount of power and control, skiing is low impact, a great workout, and can be practiced for a lifetime. I plan to do so, but my biggest concern is rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns. Most skiers have already noticed that things are getting weird, with feast-or-famine snow years and wild weather. Though it may make for a great season here and there, it's disturbing and indicates that we need to change our ways so that our sport may continue in as many places as possible. Skiers have special incentive to do their part with responsible energy consumption and helping the environmental movement gain momentum.
I've tried a bunch of different ones and this is by far the most comfortable, and for that reason the only one I don't mind wearing. I can put this one on and pretty much forget about it, which is what i've been looking for in a back protector.

I've been super happy with everything about the tracker, except that it falls out of the holster if I'm jumping cliffs. Can be slightly annoying...

These goggles have been great for me. They've never fogged up, but I'm careful to take them off if I'm going to max out on hiking. They're comfortable and the optics are great (which surprisingly isn't always a given on goggles these days). Also this blue mirror is the best all around lens I've ever had. At first I figured I'd be using different lenses for low light days, but I found my friends would be complaining about vis with their flashy lenses and I'd be just fine. I used this lens all season and loved it!

I got to spend a lot of time with my close friend Rand Fishkin the past few days. The first was at Denver Startup Week, where we did a panel discussion with Ben Huh and Bart Lorang where we discussed the pact between CEO and Board, the pact between Founder and Investor, and how to be transparent and direct.
The next day, Rand led a full day offsite for a number of CEOs in our portfolio.
In between, he wrote an epic blog post titled A Long, Ugly Year of Depression That's Finally Fading. Go read it now – I'll wait.
I love Rand – not in that surface "I love you man" kind of way. Ever since I met him and his wife Geraldine, I've adored them as a couple and each as individuals. I often develop deep personal relationships with the people I work with which can be challenging when businesses struggle and difficult decisions have to be made. I've had a few friendships fail as a result of the pressure, stress, and intensity of working through certain situations, but far more have strengthened as a result. It's a risk I decided to take a long time ago and I'll continue to do it, even when I have to cope with my own anxiety, emotional struggles, and even depression, as a result.
We invested in Moz in April 2012. Rand wrote so extensively about it in his post Moz's $18 Million Venture Financing: Our Story, Metrics and Future that almost all of the major tech blogs declined to write about it "because all the news was covered in the post." Whatever.
The first nine months were great – the business grew as planned as I started to get to know everyone and how things worked at Moz. The company was working on a major rebrand (from SEOMoz to Moz) as well as a huge software expansion which was started before I invested. But by mid-year 2013 things were not going as planned. Rand has written extensively about it, but when he and Geraldine visited us in Boulder for a few days around that time both Amy and I thought Rand was depressed.
By the winter time, Rand had decided to hand the CEO roles to his longtime partner and COO Sarah Bird. Shortly after, he acknowledged his depression in his post at the end of 2013 when he wrote Can't Sleep; Caught in The Loop. Regardless of his struggle, he continued to work incredibly hard, but we started having a different conversation, this time as friends rather than investor / board member and CEO / founder. I was more concerned about Rand's mental health than his activity at Moz, and our conversations were generally around this. At the same time, Sarah grabbed the CEO reins firmly and has done an outstanding job, which I knew would ultimately be helpful to Rand.
Rand looked better in the past few days than I've felt he looked in several years. I was thrilled to see his post come out between our rambling Denver Startup Week discussion and the full day of the CEO offsite.
Most of all, I'm delighted that my friend Rand's depression is finally starting to fade. Rand – you are amazing – and loved by me and many. Carry that with you all the time.
I had a fun email exchange with an investor I've worked with for almost 20 years in response to something a CEO send out from a board we are both on. I said "fucking awesome." He said "that's an understatement." I said "CEO is such a delight." He said "CEO is negative maintenance."
I loved this. So I'm going to use this post to think through the idea out loud and I'd love your feedback since it's still a messy / blurry concept in my mind.
My hypothesis is that the opposite of high maintenance is not zero maintenance but rather it's negative maintenance.
There are days that I'm high maintenance. Everyone is. But if you subscribe to my "give before you get", or #givefirst, philosophy, you are constantly contributing more than you are consuming. I've talked about this often in the context of Startup Communities, but I haven't really had the right words for this in the context of leadership, management, and employees in a fast growing company.
Suddenly I do. When I think about my role as an investor and board member, I'm often tangled up in complicated situations. I've often said that every day something new in my world gets fucked up somewhere. This used to be distressing to me, but after 20 years of it, if I don't know what the new fucked up thing is by 4pm, I start to get curious about what it's going to be.
We all know that creating companies from nothing is extremely difficult. The problems that arise come from all angles. Some are exogenous and some are directly under your control. Some are random and some are obvious. Some are compounded by other problems and mistakes, resulting in what my father taught me at a young age was the worst kind of mistake – one that was a mistake compounded on a mistake compounded on a mistake – which he called "a complicated mistake."
Personally, when I find myself in a complicated mistake, I stop. I step back and pause and reflect. And then I try to figure out how I can change the dynamic into something positive, not continuing to build on my complicated mistake, but instead getting clarity on what the right thing is to do to get out of the ditch.
Negative maintenance people do this. I've seen, been involved in, and made some epic mistakes. The CEO I'm referring to above has a great company, but has also experienced some epic mistakes. How he handles them, works through them with his team, and his board, is exemplary. There is work involved by me and the other board members, but it's not inappropriately emotional. It's not high maintenance. It's just work. Decisions have to be made and executed. And there are impacts from these decisions, which lead to more decisions. Ultimately this CEO is putting energy into the system as we work through the issue, which is where the negative maintenance (as opposed to high maintenance) behavior pattern arises.
I like this idea of negative maintenance people. I'm obviously trying to think it through out loud with this post, so weigh in and help me understand it better.
A few years ago, David Cohen and I started a Colorado CEO Jobs list in response to the regular stream of inbound email we got from folks looking to move to Colorado and interested in tech-related jobs. We seeded this list with CEOs from companies Foundry Group and Techstars had invested in. As other CEOs requested access to the list, we added them.
The list was managed in Yahoo Groups and had about 100 CEOs on it. It was simple – emails from people looking for jobs came to me or David and we forwarded them to the list. The hit rate was very high – I regularly get feedback from people that they've ended up with multiple interviews and a job from the introduction.
Both David and I felt like the list was pretty tedious to manage in Yahoo Group so about three months ago we restarted it and made it a Google Private Community. We culled the list a little and re-invited everyone, ending up with 56 active CEOs. We've been using the Google Private Community for a while and are comfortable that it's a significant improvement over the Yahoo Group.
We are still keeping it private for now but are looking for any CEOs of tech companies in Colorado who want to join the list as we expand it from Foundry / Techstars related companies. Our goal is to have a wide audience of CEOs for anyone coming to Colorado who is looking for a tech related job.
We are keeping the list ONLY to CEOs for now as we plan to expand some of the things we are doing with the list.
So, if you are a CEO of a tech company in Colorado and want to be on our Colorado CEO Jobs List, just email me (firstname.lastname@example.com).
And – if you are looking for a job in a Colorado tech company, email me also and I'll forward your info to the list.
I spent the last few days at CEO Bootcamp – Leadership Reboot. It's run by my close friend Jerry Colonna with an awesome team of four. The next one is going to be in Tuscany, Italy from 6/4/14 – 6/8/14 and I expect it will be amazing. I encourage you to explore it and apply – the deadline for applications is 4/20/14. I arrived at Devil's Thumb Ranch on Wednesday afternoon.
The first evening was a wonderful dinner and introduction to each other (about 20 of us) along with an evening session with a taste of what was to come. I attended as a special guest (I'm the only non-CEO / entrepreneur here) but participated as a peer.
Thursday was extremely intense with the focus on what a CEO does and the five challenges of a CEO. Everyone opened up, the discussion was incredible, and emotions were high, and yes, there were tears, as one of Jerry's superpower's is getting the tears to flow.
If you need a taste of Jerry and haven't seen him in action before, the following TWIST Interview on The 6 Biggest Mistakes Founders Make is dynamite. By Thursday evening, we were deep into it. Some people were tired (I ended up taking a nap for 90 minutes during the late afternoon break), others were confused, and some were inspired. A word that was repeated regularly was grateful. Grateful to be with peers. Grateful to realize one wasn't alone. Grateful to be able to be human in the midst of a group of other entrepreneur/CEOs.
A magical thing happened after Thursday dinner. The gang from Playback Theatre West came and spent two hours with us. I'd experienced Playback Theatre West last year at Boulder Startup Week. I was one of the stories they performed – I shared my story of moving to Boulder with Amy and they re-enacted it – interpreting things in real time – magnificently. Since I knew what we were in for, I knew that once things started happening the collision of improv and entrepreneurship would be a wonderful capstone to the day.
After a warm up, Rebecca asked for volunteers. Sam, who had been with us all day (as he's one of the CEO Bootcamp founders as well as a member of Playback Theatre West), was one of the actors.There was a lull – everyone was unsure what to do next. So I stood up and went first.
When I stood up, I had no idea what story I was going to tell, so there was some meta-improv going on. By the time I sat down next to Rebecca to start telling my story, I decided I'd tell the story of my 50 mile race. The emotional fallout from the race, which I only mildly understood two weeks after I finished it, has had a profound impact on how I'm currently living my life given the deep depression that set in for me about seven months after the race and then lasted six months.
I told the story of the race. Rebecca and the gang asked questions along the way, pulling out pieces of my motivation for the race, along with the implications of the race. Some of the questions were simple, like "Why", but set me off on a tangent that had nothing to do with the race. Then I sat back and watched them perform for five minutes. I laughed. And then I laughed some more. And then I had tears in my eyes. And then a wave of emotion flowed over me as I made a connection to something I hadn't realized before. And then I settled down and smiled as they tied together some threads around my own motivations that had eluded me.
They did several more performances for different CEOs in the room including one about a hiring story that was happening and was unresolved and one about starting a company. Each was a hilarious and absolutely beautiful interpretation of the story told. After a super heavy and intense day, it was a perfect way to wrap things up. To realize we are all humans, by acting out the reinterpretation of our human stories.
I've become a huge fan of Playback Theatre West. I hope to do a lot more with them in the future.
I've been thinking about the concept of "the duo" a lot recently.
Many of the companies I'm involved in have either two co-founders or two partners who partner up early in the life of the business. Examples of founding partners including Andrei and Peter (Kato.im), Keith and Jeff (BigDoor), James and Eric (Fitbit), and Matthew and Cashman (Yesware). Of course there are many other famous founding duos like Steve and Steve (Apple), Jerry and Dave (Yahoo!), Larry and Sergey (Google), and Bill and Paul (Microsoft). My first company (Feld Technologies) had a duo (me and Dave) and the company that bought Feld Technologies did also – Jerry and Len (AmeriData).
But many of the companies I'm involved in have duos that develop over time. Sarah and Rand (Moz). Bre and Jenny (MakerBot). Matt and George (Return Path). David and David (Techstars).
Now, these duos are not the leadership team. But there is a special magic relationship between the duo. I like to think about it like the final fight scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith where Brad and Angelina are back to back, spinning around in circles, doing damage to the enemy.
This is not just "I've got your back, you've got my back." It's "we are in this together. All in. For keeps."
It's just like my relationship with Amy. We are both all in. It's so powerful – in good times and in bad times.

You should pay attention to all the small things in checked the lead from the trees to make sure that they're falling at the correct angle. Something that a lot of people like to do in their leisure time is play games. For your rotisserie oven, we want to offer some money. We saw that you found the best rotisserie oven. It's not always easy, but you CAN find the best rotisserie oven.
The Food Steamer Had To Do It For The Street
There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing games and it is something that I recommend people do on a daily basis. From the time we found a meat grinder, it was almost like heaven. We used the discounted but powerful meat grinder. To be honest, you really don't need the best meat grinder for certain products.
If you have a large piano you can play a lot of different music that you never thought he'd be able to play. If you get a chance, buy a meat slicer. It's perfect for meat slicing. Avoid the meat slicers that don't seem to cut cheese.
When you hear a song that touches you it is a very magical experience and you want to go and hug the person who just saying it. The food steamer isn't the top reason for listening. We always force the food steamer to work correctly. It can be used to steam vegetables and other things. Is person is able to sing into a microphone in a way that nobody has ever heard and seen before.
You can look at the screen in the background and see lots of orange light in little snowflakes falling from the sky. Oftentimes, you need to act like you don't own a coffee grinder. Withj some quality research, you can buy top coffee grinders from the store. As kids, we all love to go outside and play in the snow. There's no doubt that a snowy day is one of the most enjoyable days that a kid could possibly have.
It is extremely important that parents do not deprive the children of such a magical experience that involves snowflakes building snowmen and throwing snowballs at the neighbors.

Section: GENERAL ACCOUNTING
|Section 3000 Policies
Policy Number: 3102.11
Policy Title: Deposits and Transfers to the Bank
Policy Effective Date: May 23, 2013
Last Revision Date: May 23, 2013
(see revision history)
It is the policy of the CSU that bank deposits be made on a timely and secure basis and are supported with appropriate documentation. Accountability for and documentation of the custody of cash must be continuously maintained when preparing and transferring deposits to the bank. Campuses must prepare written procedures to implement this policy.
The campus procedures must incorporate the following operational controls, or define mitigating controls if campus circumstances do not allow for all of these distinct steps:
- Collections made by cashiering locations depositing directly to the bank are deposited the same day as they are received, or at a minimum, on the following business day.
- Collections at other cashiering locations and departments are deposited at the designated main cashiering station at least weekly or whenever collections exceed $500(1).
- The depositing location is able to reconstruct transmitted deposits if necessary.
Hard or electronic scans of checks and other cash equivalents will facilitate this.
- All bank deposits are accompanied by appropriate documentation, such as a numbered deposit slip, system generated counts, or other bank requirements.
- Deposits are validated and prepared under dual custody so that all cash counts are confirmed by a second count performed by a different employee. The validation and preparation of cash deposits is conducted discretely in a safe and secure area.
- Before a daily bank deposit is finalized, cashiers reconcile receipts to deposits.
- Documentation signed by the preparer and recipient is maintained for each deposit to a main cashiering station from a cash-handling department or sub-cashiering station.
- If cash transfers after business hours are necessary, a secure, locked receptacle is provided by the main cashiering station to allow for passive acceptance of deposits. Documentation is provided back to satellite stations confirming the amount of the deposit received after a count under dual control is conducted.
- The main cashiering station records each deposit from a cash handling department
or sub-cashiering station. A record of cash recorded and any overages or shortages is reported daily to the campus designated cash reconciliation unit(2) . Supporting documentation is maintained (i.e., cash register audit tapes).
- If electronic-mechanical or electronic cash registers are not in use, a report of account distribution of cash collections is sent daily to the campus' cash reconciliation unit.
(1) Refer to Physical Protection of Cash and Cash Equivalents for policy guidance regarding security requirements for physical transportation of cash and cash equivalents.
(2) The cash reconciliation personnel should not be anyone from the cashiering unit. Refer to ICSUAM policy Segregation for Cash Handling for policy direction regarding appropriate separation of duties.

Russian Bizav Growth On Display At Moscow's Jet Expo Show
Russia's seventh annual Jet Expo show is set to open on September 27, with organizers expecting more than 100 exhibiting companies from 27 countries and up to around 50 business aircraft at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport. According to Jet Expo managing director Nikita Gorchakov, the rapid expansion of the three-day show reflects strong growth in demand for business aircraft in Russia and the wider Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In addition to the majority of the world's business aircraft manufacturers, the Jet Expo indoor and exterior exhibit areas at the Vnukovo-3 Business Aviation Center will also features leading service providers from across the CIS itself, as well as from Europe, North America and the Middle East. Also on display will be a selection of luxury yachts, reflecting the visible growth in personal wealth in Russia over the past decade.
According to Jet Expo organizers, there are now 158 business jets registered in Russia, of which 83 percent are either operated for corporate use or in the charter market, with the remaining 17 percent being operated on behalf of private individuals. Due to complications involved in registering foreign-made aircraft, and other considerations, many more aircraft owned by Russian companies and individuals are registered in other countries. Among the major Russian corporations owning business jets are Gazprom, Norilsk Nickel and Severstal.
In a press release issued before Jet Expo 2012 opened, show organizers reported that the average price paid for business jets operating in Russia is between $14 million and $26 million, with many of the aircraft having been previously-owned. According to the company, the most popular aircraft types in Russia today are the Embraer Legacy 600, Bombardier's Challenger 300 and the Challenger 604/605.
According to Jet Expo, almost two-thirds of all business aviation traffic in Russia is in and out of four Moscow-area airports: Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Ostafievo. Almost one-quarter of traffic operates into St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport. Other popular destinations are Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Ufa and Novosibirsk.

I ask you to please show this list to as many people as possible – and especially, to please show it to as many Obama supporters as possible. Sunshine really is the best disinfectant. I can't stop Obama from doing any of these horrible things, but I can tell people about what he is doing. So please share this list with others on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Thank you. The short link for this is http://tinyurl.com/ku9vxug
Every President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and engages in acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign promises were so much better sounding than anyone else's – no lobbyists in his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money isn't being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it's legal, high levels of transparency. Obama's promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other Presidents broke their promises.
In the 2008 United States election, I wrote in Ron Paul for President. In the 2012 election, I voted for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Those who are of a more leftist persuasion than myself might want to consider voting for the Green Party in future elections.
Some of the things on this list are major events that should scare the daylights out of any true liberal who cares about civil liberties.
Advertisement-content continues below
Other things on this list are medium things that some Obama supporters may dislike, but would be willing to overlook in light of the things that Obama has done which they like.
And some of the things on this list may seem trivial, but I still think they are an interesting reflection of the kinds of policies that Obama supports.
Every claim that I make in this list is sourced. Click on the blue text to see the sources. I have cited a wide variety of sources, from right wing, to left wing, to middle of the road.
I welcome any comments and criticisms that you may have. If you say my list is wrong, please back up your claim by citing specific examples.
And now, on with the list:
1) Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval
In June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libyawithout Congressional approval.
2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did
In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.

Transforming a '50s Kitchen
Designer Karen Feldheim lets in more natural light and divides a long line of appliances to modernize a dated kitchen.

In remodeling a 1950s-style kitchen, Karen Feldheim eliminated a solid wall of outdated appliances and installed new versions in niches that divide the work areas, improving traffic flow and allowing the cook plenty of counter space. "The budget allowed for all new appliances and we really gutted the place," says Karen, part of a team of designers from Dream Kitchens Inc., which serves the Chicago area.
But, she notes, a much more modest alteration included in the same design also had a big effect. "We added an attractive, light valance on the existing window and it makes a huge difference to have more natural light coming from there," she says. "That's the sort of little touch you can add to a lower-end kitchen without adding tons to your budget."
