I'll start with a typical intellectual's sort of insight on practical technodevelopmental politics, useful enough as far as it goes.
If technoprogressives are right to insist that technological development is always also and first of all social struggle, then it is key to recognize the somewhat paradoxical priority of politics over technology for progressive technological development. This explains why technoprogressives know to prioritize a shared commitment to democracy and fairness over a shared enthusiasm for particular technologies as the source of their solidarity.
The funding of, regulation of, assessment of, deployment of, distribution of costs, risks, and benefits of, meaningful dissemination of and education about technologies are always ineradicably political. Enthusiasms about particular technologies will themselves always be articulated by political positioning, just as different political assumptions will expose deep differences in superficially shared commitments to the role of technological development in securing human freedom, dignity, diversity, and choice. What people mean by "freedom," "dignity," "diversity," and "choice" will be articulated by these political assumptions more than anything else.
We should certainly expect that an "avant-garde" of committed technoprogressive activists and intellectuals will advocate a coherent general program and theoretical perspective -- even more likely, a few of them -- that discerns a shared sensibility or common aims in certain figures (Condorcet, Wells, Dyson, Haraway, etc.) and certain momentous ongoing social struggles (sustainable development, reproductive freedom, copyfight/p2p, Green/fair trade alternative globalization, basic income, etc).
But it seems misguided to me to expect or demand all of the individuals actually contributing to technoprogressive campaigns, struggles, and cultural work to recognize their efforts as such a contribution or even to approve necessarily of such a consequence should it be explained to them. And so, technoprogressive intellectuals (like me) must resist the temptation to identify the struggle itself with whatever it is we say about it or, even worse, imagine that we are somehow directing that struggle. We are, I suppose, just making sense of the struggle as best we can with the tools at our disposal like everybody else does and contributing to that struggle as best we can with the gifts and efforts we bring to bear like everybody else does.
It will be very useful of course to articulate a program from which these larger connections can be discerned, to provide a wider and more historically informed perspective which recommends developmental interventions, practical tactics, unexpected rhetorical moves, strategies for outreach and alliance, etc. and which provides further resources for understanding the implications and interdependencies of particular contingent developments. But what should be the role of such programs or perspectives for their "adherents"?
I think political programs and theoretical perspectives are tools that enable us to better discern and understand currents and struggles and opportunities already afoot in the world, and to help nudge them in desirable directions and into desirable affiliations where possible. I personally think it is better and more practical to join on to ongoing efforts and struggles that are contributing now to technoprogressive ends according to the criteria suggested by a program or perspective than it would be to attempt to create a mass-constituency or mobilize a mass-movement around any kind of explicit shared belief in the terms of a program or perspective.

If you are taking someone hunting with you what rules do you make them follow? What if you were taking clients to a deer lease to let them hunt? Some people just don't have common sense and you never know until they're wandering around you with a firearm.

Here are the regs, memorize them.
You shoot it, you gut it and eat it.
You shoot me, I shoot you.
When I take new guys out with me I always go over basic firearm safety with them first. It seems like common sense stuff but way to many poeple are lacking that anymore.
No loaded firearms in the vehicle is a biggy.
Safety on until you are ready to fire. Always keep a keen eye on the other's safety's.
Another big one. Absolutely no booze until after the firearms are put up! It doesn't take much for new guys to get excited and forget the simplest things.
And if someone's just plain stupid, keep 'em out. I'd rather send an idiot packing than loose a great hunting buddy due to someone's incompetence.
Amen Longshot!
If we are talking deer hunting, and I assume we are, I tell them to count to 10 before they shoot. That way they can calm down, and make sure it really is a deer! I never want to hear someone say, "I though he was a deer."
John Q.
I've never took anyone hunting with me but I've been with my father-in-law. Here are a few of his rules.
-Never load a gun until outside the house, likewise after the hunt, never bring a loaded firearm inside the house.
-Never kill anything unless you intend on cleaning and eating it.
-Keep weapon pointed in a safe direction
-Never attempt to cross over or go under a fence with a shotgun or rifle in your hand, hand it over to your hunting buddy and hold his weapon while he does the same.
-Never shoot at something you can't see, don't shoot at sounds. This one gets a lot of hunters killed.
Most of them where common sense, we all should us common sense while around firearms. Safety first.

Do not use your scope as your bio's the thing you maybe looking at just might be another hunter. (felony in Montana pointing a firearm at another person) no exceptionsIf they have not had Hunters Education, these are usually taught and enforced with aiding them with their hunt.
Know your target and beyond.
You will wear hunter orange vest unless bowhunting.
If you have never hunted before, and shoot a deer etc that you have a tag for, you will learn to properly tag it first and then learn to gut and clean that animal.
Mhy uncle found out the hard way, while he was out of my truck I inspected his Enfield when I noticed the fireing pin back, and safety off with the muzzle pointed right at my transmission. I discovered a loaded firearm and proceded to empty all cartridges from his rifle. Several hours later he went to use it...... CLICK and his deer got away.
I told him, the next time I find a rifle of his like this in my truck, no matter where we are at and I don't care if we are 50 miles back into the back country..... you will walk out.

The country's power situation needs attention
May 03 2013, 15:36 | By Entrepreneur
By Bharat Banka
In the last couple of years, the ground situation on the new plans to add power generation facilities is turning from bad to worse. There have been various contradictory views on realistic achievability of the Twelfth Plan of the Planning Commission which estimates targeted addition of more than 75,000 MW during the five years. However, the broad issue at ground level remains in case this target is not achieved in totality (which looks like a serious possibility). An emerging view, call it cynical if you will, is that more than half the nation would have to go without electricity for more than half a day, every day of their lives.
Slowing growth rate
The plan also talked about more than 90 percent of the targeted additional capacity to be coal-based projects and harped upon the need to make adequate domestic coal available. And, meeting shortfall through imported coal, while recognizing the impact on increase in tariffs. It stressed upon the need to increase production of domestic coal as well. But, importing coal from Australasia and other zones have become increasingly difficult over the last couple of years.
Back home in India, the entire episode of allocation of coal mines and even sale of coal to power producers is going through its own challenges. One reason can be the general conundrum and pandemonium about decision-making and policy-making. However, one strong stated and unstated driver on the subject also appears to be a notion. While the state provides access to quantum of concessional coal for generation of power at the expense of the exchequer to benefit the common man, such access leads to unjustifiable super-normal profits in the hands of the power producers. And the eventual cost for the super-normal profit is being footed by household consumers and hence, planned loss to exchequer may not be resulting in intended benefits for
Are end-users benefited?
The fertilizer industry has worked for decades on the principle of a fair return on capital employed for the fertilizer manufacturers, who depend on the state for inputs and the input cost being a pass-through. Doesn't the power generation industry look similar in its characteristics and wouldn't it follow the same principles? This would meet the requirements of all stakeholders i.e. the state meeting its responsibility to provide affordable utility service, the power manufacturer making a regulated but fair return on capital and the end-consumer receiving quality utility service at affordable rates, subsidized for inputs like coal provided by the state.

This is a sham of a restaurant compared to what it was under the prior owner. THE PIT epitomizes the axiom about restaurants: the quality of the food is inversely proportional to the amount of money spent on renovations and expanasion. What was an excellent out of this world barbecue joint has become a has been, undercooked, often cold, barbecue restaurant. I used to stop here when I'd go bike riding in Shark Valley. Now I just shake my head everytime I drive by and think what it once was. Awful.
Best Barbecue Miami 2011 - The Pit
16400 SW 8th St.
West Dade, FL 33194
The Pit has kept the flavor of PURE SMOKE and plenty of food at a reasonable price! The place is CLEAN and invites you to dine outdoors to enjoy Florida living. Today everyone is welcome!!! The only thing that bothers some people is the fact that today The Pit belongs to Cuban Americans and may I say BLONDE and BLUE eyes!!! For those that want to experience what Florida use to be and what HOME cooking is all about drive WEST on 8 Street and find THE PIT BBQ you will enjoy the FOOD and the Trip!!
It never ceases to to amaze me what passes as good, or even edible, barbecue in Miami. The Pit is simply terrible. Like Canes78 said - it used to be very good, but that's simply not true anymore. Best stick to Peoples, Mama Lucies, or find out where James is parking is cue wagon.
Have you actually been there in the last couple of years? It used to be the best, but it has changed hands and sadly gone downhill.

For those families that are very money conscious, and for lack of a better word, "Frugal"- it is just you with this mentality or are your S/O, kids, etc on the same page with saving?
I've been with my husband for almost 10 years, & in the beginning he was not conscious with finances the way I was. A few years into our relationship, he definitely became more like me and started saving too. The only "Issthat he likes to carry cash and I think we should not- I like to use the credit card for everything- to earn (Disney) reward dollars and pay it off each month.
Are you and your significant other/spouses both savers or even, both spenders?
PS- I also don't think I'm too "Frugal" since this will be our 3rd consecutive year we are heading to Disney. Our favorite family vacation spot!!

Dh and I are both savers. He's not so practical about it though, so I handle the investments and most of the money. He'll get on a kick where he'll have an impractically large chunk of his salary deposited in savings instead of our checking account and then we have to undo that because we don't have enough for daily expenses. I keep telling him slow and steady is the way to go. He'll freak out periodically that we won't have enough for retirement without looking at what we're actually doing, which has us saving well more than we should need.
The kids think money grows on trees. They don't want to understand why we won't throw huge sweet sixteen parties, buy them cars and send them on school trips abroad. I think they will change their minds when they go through college debt free.

In the beginning, I was a total cheapskate who watched every penny and he spent like money was going out of style. Over the years we've met more in the middle. I absolutely hate debt and refuse to have credit cards or finance anything. We do have a mortgage and I have student loans and to me, that's more than enough debt for anyone. Once I forced him to start using cash and stop swiping that card, he got a real feel for what he was spending. Now I am less cheap and he's less spendy. We like having nice things but we also get excited about paying cash for them.

DH is the spender and I am the saver. However, he is the one with the best retirement account. Figure that one out.
I have slowly converted him to the saver side of things - we now have a healthy rainy day fund, and so long as he can see it everytime he logs onto to see our checking account balance, he is all excited about adding to it - he's turned it into a sort of game and his "score" is how much money we've socked away into it. He was going to buy a FEMA trailer, but couldn't find one he really liked at the price he was willing to pay and recently told me how glad he was he hadn't bought it when he saw the nice balance on our savings account.
I haven't mentioned to him that his next big outage (OT galore) and our Income Tax return money will be dumped in there (both were mutual decisions) in the next few months so even if he had bought it, we'd still be on the okay front, but I figure, hopefully, he'll be so happy when he sees the "score" go up that it won't get mentioned until he finds a trailer he wants at a price he wants.

My husband and i met about 22 years ago. When i met him he owned a good few thousand dollars in credit cards. To his defense he was living alone - not making much $$ etc. Anyway - i told him he must pay off that debt so he called the creditors got the payment down - borrowed $ from his dad that got rid of all his debt.
I have always been a saver - My parents were savers also, as is my brother - must be in the blood LOL.
We are now married 18 years! I am in charge of ALL the money - i love handling the bills etc.
My husband just goes along with me....I use credit cards for certain things - i have different savings accounts etc.
I pretty much set the goals and he just goes along with me...we each get a certain amount of spending $ per month - small items we'll also charge. All in All i'm happy with our finances - i am frugal with some things but over all not - we go out to eat 1 or 2x a week go on vacations - kids go to day camp BUT i pay off my credit cards each month - if i want new furniture i save for it before buying - I just bought a new car - i also drove my old car 12 years!
My kids are 12 and 10 - i always talk about money with them - buying more if things are on sale etc etc. In the summer for camp this past year i gave them a certain amount to spend - they could pretty much split it up how they want. They both had extra money at the end of the summer so now this summer they will have extra to spend or roll it over again -

We are both savers. In fact, I don't think we've ever argued about money (having our 25th anniversary in May). If we need something, we shop around for the best price and buy it. If we want something that we don't necessarily need, we discuss it first. We both try to hold costs down as much as possible. Any extra money goes directly to savings and stays there. I've been booking a Disney trip for August. I ran the cost of the airline tickets by him before I booked. As long as we both know what is being spent, it's all good!

I am the saver, he is the spender.
When we first met (I was a single mom of 2, he was still living at home but making very good money), it was obvious our monetary styles were different!
He is less "spendy" than he used to be, but I am still the saver.

My dh was definitely better at it. That man could set a goal and stick to it like nobody's business. LOL. I'm a forced saver. If you get it out of my greedy little hands I have no issues but I do like to shop.
I'm the better shopper though. Dh did not know the meaning of the sale, basically he went into a store and the first and easiest thing he saw that's what he brought.
Same thing with vacations. I comparison shop, find bargains and deals. Dh, he would go into a TA plucks down a deposit and calls it a day.

I am more frugal than DH but he sleeps better at night with a big emergency fund, so it's easy to remind/convince him that money should be going into there instead of a hobby. He is getting better about shopping sales, price matching when he picks up milk at Walmart, and even uses a coupon occasionally!
DS16 is good at saving money; DD13 still blows a lot on clothes but has been saving for an iTouch lately.

DH is a saver, I am a spender.
Over our 17 years together, he has learned to loosen the wallet a bit and I have learned to keep mine shut more often.
We have found a balance that keeps both of us happy.

We're both savers in this household.He has a pretty good balance in his 401K but I'm really good at saving $ into our ING account from our paychecks. It's like a game for me to see how much of our paychecks we can save each month. Not that we don't spend, but we limit it to mainly Christmas. I swear I never buy any gift at full price and am not afraid to buy generic products.

I'm the saver, he is the spender. He basically says we'll get more money.
He's not awful. For several years we didn't have extra money but we have always managed to live within our means (one car!) and pay off credit cards monthly. We had a particularly rough 2-3 years and the credit cards were higher than I liked (less than $5g but I was losing sleep over it), and we paid it off as soon as we were able.
I actually hoard money. My dh eventually found out about my stash and it's now a joke - he sometimes asks if I'm socking it away again. I have a terrible fear of not having money AND of having debt. I take care of all the bills. We are now trying to live on one paycheck a month and saving the other. We have come a loooong way in the past few years and he is making significantly more money while our living expenses have stayed the same or, in some cases, lowered. We have the goal of buying a different house and want a really good down payment. We also want to pay for movers!

We are both savers but we save differently. He never knows how much I have and owes me a lot of money. He borrows from me and keeps track of what he owes me. If he ever pays me back for the 34 years I'll be loaded.
I do carry several hundred dollars with me all the times, less now that I use my debit cards. kind of a safety net thing. I don't use credit cards though.

I'm the saver and he's the spender. He's rubbed off on me more than I've rubbed off on him, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. When we met, I was a total cheap skate but mostly because I had to be. I was so focused on being able to buy a house, but after a few years of being together, he inherited his grandparents (very modest) house, but a house all the same....so I've eased up a bit. Now I'm all about saving for the future. Although the retirement account is nowhere near what I'd like, I'm not quite 30 yet so I have time. He likes to remind me that in reality we both probably won't live as long as what I say we need to plan for! Talk about optimistic!
He's right though. I like to save money, but I'm not going to save for tomorrow at the expense of today. There has to be a balance.

We are both spenders and savers. We have our retirement plan in place and we save for that. We have large purchases we want to make and we save for them. We also live for today too.

Happy Hour: Fuoristrada Grillo
At a recent Beard House dinner, we noticed some unusual packaging for the wine served with chef Mark Ladner's timballo di gattopardo. The pairing, a 2012 Fuoristrada Grillo, wasn't poured from a bottle, but from a slim, rectangular carton that was not unlike a cafeteria juice box. We reached out to Momofuku beverage director Jordan Salcito, who coordinated the evening's pairings, to learn more.
Salcito explained that she was on the lookout for Grillo, a Sicilian grape whose "naturally rich texture and earthy, mineral profile" would complement the timballo's braised poultry, green peas, and summer truffle. She landed on the Fuoristrada Grillo by Monte Bernadi, a winery known for biodynamically farmed Tuscan bottlings.
The wine also had a surprising feature: it was packaged in... Read more >
Wine Wisdom: Add These Regions Less Traveled to Your Bucket List
Fresh off the Barn at Blackberry Farm's win of the 2014 JBF Award for Outstanding Wine Program, Andy Chabot, the restaurant's food and beverage director, tells us about his favorite less-traveled wine regions.
Paso Robles, California
I imagine that Paso Robles is what Napa was like in the '70s: farm country, plenty of incredible wines, and friendly winemakers who open their doors to visitors. A nice bonus is that local restaurants sell many of the area's hard-to-find wines.
Chablis, France
A quick trip from Paris, this is a fantastic region for white-wine lovers. It's not overly touristy, and there are some very fun restaurants and hotels with great wines. All seven of the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis sit together in a bowl like an amphitheater.
Tokaj, Hungary
The traditional Aszu Tokaji wines from this region in northeastern
Hungary are among the world's finest dessert wines, but... Read more >
Happy Hour: Sherry Bloody Mary
Few classic cocktails are more storied than the Bloody Mary, which is reportedly celebrating its 80th birthday this year. With roots stemming from the Russian Revolution and Prohibition, its original name and recipe have long been disputed—but one thing is clear: it's a beloved brunch tradition, hangover cure, and one of the most ubiquitous libations in America today.
This weekend, spice up your cocktail routine with a unique twist on the zesty tomato-infused treat. Created by Leo Robitschek of the Bar at the NoMad Hotel, our 2014 winner for Outstanding Bar Program, this sherry-anchored Bloody Mary doubles up on veggies by featuring beet juice along with the classic tomato juice. This inspired variation is perfect for adding a little spice to your Friday evening happy hour ritual—and for reviving you again in the morning if you happened to get a little too carried away.

Happy Hour: Mr. Beard's Citrus Cooler
It's Friday afternoon, which means you officially made it through another week! Celebrate this weekend's Summer Solstice with our latest Happy Hour cocktail, Mr. Beard's Citrus Cooler. This recipe comes care of Beard House staff member Victoria Jordan-Rodriguez, who has been making a version of the drink every summer for years. "The base is strong," she explained, "but the Perrier really lightens it up. And if you don't add the soda water, the base can be made in the morning and marinate until you want to drink it. Mr. Beard didn't make this recipe, but I like to think that he would have enjoyed it!"
We sampled Victoria's refreshing cocktail this past week at the launch party for JBF's Taste America®, where it was a hit with the All-Star chefs and guests alike. It's the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, so mix up an entire pitcher's worth. Tomorrow... Read more >
Happy Hour: Letter of Marque
We know you're itching to shut down your computer and unwind for the weekend, ushering in the blissful two-day respite with a Friday evening cocktail. Get into the spirit of summer with a tropical tiki libation; one of our all-time favorites is the Letter of Marque cocktail served at Julie Reiner's Clover Club in Brooklyn. Created by bartender Ryan Lilola, who keeps a stash of coconut cream and tiki gear with him anytime he's behind the bar, this concoction is a clever homage to an unusual tradition.
"A letter of marque was essentially government-sanctioned piracy, a document that let privateers get away with acting like pirates," he explains. "Considering that tiki was founded on escapism, this drink was a ticket for our guests to escape their daily grind and get a little rowdy."

Wine Wisdom: Sustainable Winemaking with Merry Edwards
2013 JBF Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional Award winner Merry Edwards is a longtime champion of sustainable winemaking. We caught up with Edwards (who is also curating the wine pairings for our gala this fall) to discuss her pioneering work at her eponymous Russian River Valley property.
JBF: Can you give us a specific example of how a sustainable practice in your vineyards ultimately affects the quality of your wine?
ME: We use organic mushroom compost, a by-product from our neighbor, Gourmet Mushroom, as a supplement. In some vineyards, we apply the material on a vine-by-vine basis. It evens out the vines' growth, giving us consistent vine size and ripening. Much of our farming energy is focused on this end result.
JBF: What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced when implementing green practices at the winery?
ME: We wanted to operate... Read more >
Thanksgiving Wine Recommendations from Terroir's Paul Grieco
With so many flavors on offer at Thanksgiving, the task of finding a bottle that plays nicely with all of them can make us even grouchier than our in-laws. Thankfully, we've enlisted Paul Grieco, who won the 2012 JBF Award for Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional, to do the pairing for us. His suggestions, which range from values to splurges, will take you from stuffing to turkey and back to leftovers.
Hirsch Zöbing Riesling 2009 ($24)
"Because nothing needs good, bracing acidity and crunchy terroir like a plate full of turkey and all the fixings."
Argyros Assyrtiko Santorini 2009 ($20)

Six Bitters to Have on Hand This Summer
During these most idle of summer days, we need a damn good reason to abandon our towels and mindless reading. A nicely mixed drink is one acceptable excuse. To ensure that our August libations are of the low-effort, high-reward variety, we turned to Brad Thomas Parsons—author of the JBF Award–winning Bitters: A Spirited History Of A Classic Cure-All With Cocktails, Recipes, And Formulas—for suggestions for unconventional bitters that will add instant pizazz to whatever we're sipping poolside. - The Editors
Bartenders love to describe bitters as the salt and pepper of the bar, but I like to think of them as an entire spice cabinet of liquid seasonings. They play a pivotal role in bringing balance to well-made cocktails, and every serious home bar should have three essential bitters on hand: Angostura, Peychaud's, and an orange bitters. While this trio will allow you to craft a multitude of classic and... Read more >
Q & A with Roman Roth of Wölffer Estate Vineyard
For more than ten years, the postcard-perfect Wölffer Estate Vineyard, located on Long Island's South Fork, has hosted our annual summer tasting, Chef & Champagne® New York. We caught up with head winemaker Roman Roth to discuss his favorite summertime wines and what's on the way from Wölffer's cellars.
JBF: What are your favorite wines to drink in the summer?
RR: Dry Rosés, Riesling, or white blends are perfect for the beach or the pool. Our barrel-fermented (but not overoaked!) Perle Chardonnay is a perfect match for fresh-caught local striped bass.
JBF: It's no secret that Rosé is a popular choice for summer. What do you like to eat with it?
RR: I love cured salmon, sushi, and fresh salads with Rosé. It also goes great with barbecued chicken or grilled octopus.... Read more >
Spirited Artisans
After states lifted Prohibition-era distilling bans a few years ago, craft spirit producers started to crop up in cities all over America. Jamie Feldmar reports on the comeback of the urban distillery.
Move over inner-city farmers, rooftop beekeepers, and backyard chickens. It's time to meet the latest urban industry: moonshine.
Well, not exactly; it's legal. In recent years, a growing number of craft spirit producers have been building aboveboard distilleries in city centers, eschewing wide-open spaces in exchange for the opportunity to connect directly with their customers. Inspired by the do-it-yourself philosophy of the local-food movement, they're injecting that same spirit into, well, spirits.
During Prohibition (1920–1933), moonshiners illicitly distilled corn mash into low-grade liquor with a smell and taste so strong it's a wonder anyone wanted to smuggle it at all. After the repeal it became... Read more >

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee junior forward Glory Johnson has been named Southeastern Conference player of the week for a second time this season.
After coach Pat Summitt benched her for not showing enough effort, Johnson came off the bench to average 15.5 points, 12 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and a block in wins over LSU and Rutgers.
The Knoxville native hit 58.8 percent of her field goals and 73.3 percent of her free throws in those two games.
Johnson scored a season-high 19 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the Lady Volunteers against the Lady Tigers, her fourth double-double this season and 14th of her career. She was one rebound shy of recording the double-double in the first half.
Tennessee (13-2, 1-0) hosts Alabama on Thursday.

What does it mean to be a powerful woman? Do we have to be aggressive and domineering, exerting power over others to drive success? Or if you favor collaboration, can you transform the meaning of power?
There are two steps to consider when determining how you can be powerful if you desire to be.
First, you need to be aware of the various types of power you can use.
In my experience teaching leadership for 32 years, I have found the following six types of power plus one where you give away your power.*
- Power Over – the decisive, goal-directed, task/measurement focused approach where you force or motivate people to perform using either threats or rewards.
- Positional Power – when others accept your decisions and suggestions due to your title, job responsibility, or expertise. You might use this power to exert your power over, your soft power or your creational power.
- Relational Power – when others accept your decisions and suggestions because they trust and like you. They follow you based on admiration.
- Soft Power – when you achieve a desired result by inspiring, encouraging and giving hope to others or by an attraction to your values, ethical stance, or vision (people believe as you do and want what you want).
- Creational Power – when you work hard to create an environment or circumstances where others can realize their power or potential. Your work impacts their lives. They are able to manifest greater results because of what you design and implement. You may use any of the other powers as you work to create these conditions. Oprah told Pattie Sellers from Fortune Magazine that she learned to love the concept of power when she realized her power was to create "an impact with purpose."
- Empowerment – when you transfer responsibility and full authority to a person or group. You then operate to support the development and use of their power.
- Conceding Power – when you give up your power to others either willingly or due to your fear of consequences. There are times you might choose to put your energy elsewhere.
The second step is to create your own criteria for when to choose each power. In today's world where collaboration and globalization are critical competencies, the leader who can stimulate and tap into collective intelligence can gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace over the leader who focuses on pushing individual achievement.

Forrest Wickman of Slate reports for NY1 on newly released book titles and the world of publishing in "The Book Reader."
Two new books look deep into the history of two of the greatest musical acts of the 1980s.
Tony Fletcher's "A Light That Never Goes Out", published by Crown, is a comprehensive biography of the alternative rock band The Smiths. And I mean comprehensive. After describing that fateful first meeting between singer and lyricist Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, the book flashes all the way back to the 18th century for a 200-year history of Manchester, the English city that gave birth to the band. It's a tad obsessive, but the 630-page book eventually comes back around to that meeting about 180 pages later, when the band begins writing music.
"I Would Die 4 U", by Touré, and out this month from Atria, might not be as exhaustive a work of journalism, but at 150 pages, it's a great starter for anyone interested in the appeal of the artist (still known as) Prince. The subtitle of the book is "Why Prince Became an Icon", and this does a remarkably good job of summarizing the thrust of the book. Prince, Touré argues, connected on a deep, spiritual level with Generation X.
The book is less about the technical decisions that make up his music than about how he became a redemptive figure for a whole generation born into sexual fear, religious doubt and divorce. Plus, it has an all-time great anecdote about the time the author challenged His Royal Purpleness to a game of basketball.
Both are rewarding reads for fans of any generation, but those not-so obsessed with The Smiths might want to skip those two chapters about Manchester.

(CNN) -- Seven gold medals will be at stake Saturday in Sochi, Russia, giving dozens of Olympic athletes another shot at history.
But the day's most highly anticipated event may be a preliminary round men's hockey game. The U.S.-Russia contest may have no bearing on the final standings, yet it's sure to generate a lot of passion and interest in those countries and beyond.
Russia vs. U.S. highlights men's hockey slate
It's been a long time since Lake Placid.
That New York community will forever be associated not just with the 1980 Winter Olympics, but its signature moment: The underdog American men's hockey team besting their Cold War rivals from the Soviet Union en route to a gold medal.
Sportscaster Al Michaels wasn't the only person who considered that win a miracle. That description probably wouldn't be apt if the 2014 incarnation of the American team beats the Russians (alas, the closest you can get to the Soviets nowadays) on Saturday in Sochi.
Still, it will be a big deal.
The U.S. team is fresh off a 7-1 trashing of Slovakia, a win that suggested that the Americans are a legitimate contender to win their first gold in this competition since Lake Placid. The Russians, paced by Alexander Ovechkin, beat Slovenia by a 5-2 score.
The continued icy relations between Russia and the United States ratchet up the tensions a bit, and history counts for something, too. Russia's coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov was on the 1980 Soviet team, and that squad's goalie, Vladislav Tretiak, now heads the Russian Hockey Federation.
This isn't the only preliminary round match-up in men's hockey Saturday: Slovakia and Slovenia, Sweden and Latvia, Switzerland and the Czech Republic also face off on the men's side.
The women's bracket is already into the quarterfinal stage, with Finland-Sweden and Switzerland-Russia contests on tap.
Will fresh skin suits help America's speed skaters?
It's gotta be the shoes, Spike Lee -- playing Mars Blackmon -- once intoned in Nike commercials hawking Air Jordans.
So for the U.S. speedskating team, it's gotta be the skin suits, right?
That's one theory that's been floating around Sochi to blame for the Americans' relatively lackluster performances so far. To that point, U.S. Speedskating President Mike Plant announced Friday that his skaters would switch to "previously approved Under Armour skin suits" -- and away from those outfits worn earlier this Olympics that, some suspect, may have been a drag, as in slowing skaters with air resistance.
Probably the biggest name in U.S. speedskating, Shani Davis, will get a chance Saturday to prove whether this theory is correct.
The four-time medalist -- with golds in the 1000-meter race in both 2010 and 2006, to go along with silvers in the 1,500 meters at those two Games -- has had a tough time in Russia so far this February.
He was never in contention in the 5,000 meters, and placed eighth in the 1,000 meters despite being the clear favorite.
On Saturday, Davis will get his last chance for gold in the 1,500 meters. And he is anything but a shoe-in, even for a medal.
The Netherland's Mark Tuitert -- the winner in Vancouver -- leads the list of contenders, which also includes Norway's Havard Bokko and Russia's Ivan Skobrev.
World's best female skiers vie for Super-G title
The Super-G is a bit of a mish-mash -- a blend of the speedy downhill and more technical slalom events. That mix also tends to draw in the sport's best skiers, in whatever discipline, and makes for must-see TV.
Saturday shouldn't be any different.
No, there's no Lindsey Vonn, after an injury knocked the vaunted American out of this year's Games. But there is Julia Mancuso, who won the super combined downhill a few days ago much like she did the giant slalom at the 2006 Olympics.
Still, it's a long shot for Mancuso or her U.S. teammates to top the podium Saturday.
The 2010 gold medal winner, Austria's Andrea Fischbacher, isn't in contention. But Slovenia's Tina Maze (who finished second that year) and Switzerland's Dominique Gisin -- who shared the gold medal in downhill in Sochi -- will be.
Other women who could be jostling for first place include Switzerland's Lara Gut (third in the downhill) and Germany's Maria Hoefl-Reisch (who recently took gold in women's super combined).
Men's face-down skeleton course
Who will be the next Lizzy Yarnold?
There are 27 men's who would love nothing more than to do what the British woman did Friday: become an Olympic gold medalist in skeleton.
If you think they'd be crazy to do it, you might be right. Lying face-down on the slim sled known as a skeleton, racers plunge head-first down the twisty course at speeds of up to 90 mph. That means there's plenty of danger but little protection around them.
The sport has been tried out by many winter weather daredevils over the years, appearing in the 1928 and then 1948 Olympics before reemerging in 2002 at the Salt Lake Games.
So who will not just survive but thrive on the Sochi track?
Russia's Alexander Tretiakov is the host nation's favorite, and a definite contender to stand atop the podium. But in such a relatively new sport where anything can happen, there are a lot of possibilities.
Sports Illustrated, for one, predicts a family affair: Brothes Martins and Tomass Dukurs, of Latvia, will finish first and third, respectively, according to the magazine.
Ski jumpers set to soar
It's a bird, it's a plane.
Scratch that, it's a ski jumper.
People in Russia and, thanks to TV, will be able to take in such impressive sights in the crown jewel of ski jumping -- the men's large hill event.
Switzerland's Simon Ammann leads the pack, hoping to add a fifth Olympic gold (after getting two apiece in 2002 and 2010, including in the large hill events).
Then there is Poland's Kamil Stoch, who took home the top prize in the normal hill competition earlier this week.
Yet the sentimental favorite, for those of a certain age, may be Japan's Noriaki Kasai.
The 41-year-old made his Olympic debut way back in 1992 in Albertville, France. He's competed in every Olympics since then, posting reliably strong results.
Yet, while he won silver in 1994 in Lillehammer, Norway, in a team event, Kasai hasn't medalled in an individual competition. He hopes that changes Saturday.

Spring Awakening is an extraordinary new rock musical with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Grammy Award-nominated recording artist Duncan Sheik. Inspired by Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 play about teenage sexuality and society's efforts to control it, the piece seamlessly merges past and present, underscoring the timelessness of adolescent angst and the universality of human passion.
Steven Sater's plays include the long-running Carbondale Dreams, Perfect for You, Doll (Rosenthal Prize/Cincinnati Playhouse), Umbrage (Steppenwolf New Play Prize), and a reconceived version of Shakespeare's Tempest, which played in London.
Duncan Sheik is a singer/songwriter who also collaborated with Sater on the musical The Nightingale. He has composed original music for The Gold Rooms of Nero and for The Public Theater's Twelfth Night in Central Park.
