The best advice I ever received for my business, and my blog
Jan 22nd
I was recently asked by an interviewer, "Who has had the greatest influence on your personal growth?" Pretty good question! But the answer was easy. In fact, there was one lesson I learned from one man that has had a profound impact on my approach to life, my business, and my blog. I'll share that important lesson with you today.
Sensei and sensibility
When I lived in Los Angeles, I desperately wanted to attend the MBA program at Claremont Graduate University for one reason — Peter Drucker taught there (in fact, the school was named for him). If you have never heard of Peter Drucker, discovering his books and articles might be the most important thing you can do for your career.
I applied for entry to the college, but was told I was too young to be accepted to this prestigious program. I would not quit that easily, however, and went through an appeal process, arguing that they needed my youth (27 at the time) to add to the diversity of the program! I made an unlikely stand on the grounds of EEO, which was quite a stretch, but incredibly, I was admitted! Perhaps my tenacity amused them.
Peter Drucker was one of the handful of people I have known who could distill vast complexity into simple wisdom. The scope of his knowledge was breathtaking. He would sit on the edge of his desk and lecture for three hours straight without a break, and without notes. He generally lectured about one of his books. My favorite was Innovation and Entrepreneurship a remarkable book that still holds up today.
A new approach to leadership
Professor Drucker taught via the Harvard case study method. We would be assigned to read a long, detailed, real-life business case and then dissect it in class to discover the true nature of how business worked.
The students in this class were high-flyers — the brightest business executives in the Los Angeles region — and they were always trying to "solve" the business case. Nothing made Professor Drucker angrier than that! "What makes you think you are smarter than the people in the case?" he would ask, "Smarter than people who have worked in this industry for decades? How can you be that arrogant?
"Your job as a business leader is not to provide the right answers. It is to provide the right questions."
Over and over he would pound this truth into our heads until it became part of our DNA. And he was so right … so profoundly right. There is not a week that goes by that I don;t think of some lesson from Professor Drucker, but this was the most important of all.
Think of the power of leading people to the most effective solution, not by pontificating and telling them what to do, but by distilling the issue down to the essential question and letting them discover the answer themselves.
Adopting a strategy of professional humility is anathema to our modern Western culture. We may associate humility with weakness, when in fact it is strength.
The essence of blogging?
Like most young people starting out in business, I felt a need to know all the answers, especially when I was promoted to a leadership position. But from Professor Drucker I learned that being vulnerable, involving others in the process, coming up with a better solution together, sharing the weight of decisions – those are all benefits of humility. Being deeply human, instead of trying to wear the Superman cape, is powerful and liberating.
This is also a key to effective blogging I think. Most bloggers adopt a mantle of invincibility and that is certainly the easy path to take: "I publish, therefor I'm correct."
But being a humble blogger leads to meaningful social media engagement and ultimately, crowd-sourced wisdom. I almost never have the answers. But I think my blog posts do present the essential questions: Does every business need a social media strategy? What is the value of social media engagement? How do we measure success?
And then YOU provide the answers through your comments. A much better system, don't you think? How could I possibly sustain this blog for the last four years by only giving you answers? Nobody is that smart.
I hope this resonates with you in some small way. How does this idea land on you? Could being a humble leader become a key to making you a better leader, a better parent, a better blogger?

The insider's guide to social media consulting success
Jan 20th
When I have been asked for a proposal to create a social media marketing strategy for a company, I have won the business 95 percent of the time. That may seem remarkable but I've found there is one simple secret of social media consulting success and connecting with companies at this early stage of engagement.
Competing agencies typically try to impress by piecing together glossy, elaborate plans spanning from Facebook promotions to blasting out a Pinterest campaign.
I do no such thing. In fact, I put together no plan at all. I simply, and truthfully, tell the client that I don't know what they need. And neither do they. We need to start with a foundational strategy (not an action plan) that is aligned with the company's goals, and even more important, aligned with the company's CULTURE.
Social media consulting success secrets
This is the difference between creating a glimmering strategy that crashes and burns on take-off, and a realistic strategy that can actually be accomplished and change the company.
In every organization there are five common hurdles to social media success. A critical step in the strategy development process is to provide a painfully honest assessment of these factors and the company's ability to execute and sustain a social media marketing initiative. That is where the consulting process should begin — not picking out the colors for the Facebook page!
Assessing the social media "engine"
Here are the five critical components I assess before even thinking about creating a social media plan:
Budget and resources — Is the company willing to commit the proper financial and human resources to execute the right way, or are they just checking a box to create an image? Do they seem committed to adopting "digital" as a business philosophy? How will they make this transformation?
Technology — I look at this very broadly. Is this a tech-savvy company eager to embrace new platforms or are they stuck in the 1990s? Are they fast and flexible, or ponderous in their approach to development? Have they erected security firewalls that will jeopardize success? Is the IT department a fortress resisting change or an agent propelling progress?
ROI and measurement — Does the company have a realistic view of the social media opportunity, or are they looking for immediate gratification? Are they willing to consider qualitative, as well as quantitative, measures of success? Do they even have measurement processes in place that we can build upon? Are they looking at this as a band-aid or a long-term strategy?
Legal — Can the Legal Department adjust to the new demands of the social web? Are they willing to push accountability down through the organization or will they have to approve every tweet? Are they also willing to make the cultural adjustment necessary or will they "review" an initiative into oblivion?
Corporate culture/leadership — I mention this last, but it is not the least. In fact, it is most important of all. A corporate culture is very complex but is largely determined by the leadership of the organization. If the leadership does not understand, embrace, and become actively involved in the change, a social media initiative will never move past checking a box. There is no such thing as a grassroots cultural change in a company> The leader has to be actively on board. Is the company culture customer-centric? Conservative? Slow to change? Nimble?
Now what?
Once you do this analysis, what do you do with it?
Creating an actionable and sustainable social media initiative requires all five of these building blocks to be in place. Think of these elements as integral parts of an engine. If even one part is not working, the car may start quickly, limp along for awhile, but ultimately sputter and stop.
So the strategy must be created in the context of the political reality of the company. Perhaps the first step toward social media success is not starting a blog or Facebook page, but hosting a series of social media workshops to get everybody on the same page. Or maybe it's one-on-one counseling with a leader, or creating an internal social media council.
Social media consulting success doesn't start with a Facebook page, it begins (and perhaps ends) with corporate culture. Agree? Do you see these landmines and opportunities at your companies too?

How to overcome the "I'm not an expert" fear
Jan 17th
By {grow} Community Member Sarah Santacroce
When I speak to my clients about the benefits of blogging, I often get a pair of big, frightened eyes looking at me. 'Sarah, I'm not an expert, who would care to read my stuff?'
According to Wikipedia an expert is "A person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area." OK, that's pretty impressive. What probably scares my clients is the word "authoritative" which, means a) Able to be trusted as being accurate or true; reliable, clear, authoritative information' and b)'Considered to be the best of its kind and unlikely to be improved upon.
Fair enough, that scares me too!
Reframing the discussion
What if we replaced the word "expert" with "specialist?"
My clients seem to prefer that! It's not as exclusive, and if someone calls themselves a specialist, it tells me that they specialize in this topic, and has valuable knowledge and skills in this area. You don't have to know absolutely everything, because of course there's always room for improvement.
In fact, even pretending to be an expert can be a negative, right? Let's face it, the person who pretends to know everything is just fooling themselves. I've always been more impressed by someone who admits that she doesn't have all the answers, but promised to look them up, do her research, and then report back to me.
Let's focus on your specialty
So how does that specialist title sound to you? Not that scary anymore, right?
You truly are a specialist at what you do, now you just need to let the world know about it. There's no better marketing method than to position yourself as the expert/specialist and then writing about what you do.
Funny enough it's often the same people who are scared of not being an expert, who are also not comfortable with selling their services. Well, that's the nice thing about blogging — you don't have to sell! You are just sharing your knowledge, educating your audience without bluntly selling your services.
Through your content people will get to see that you know your stuff and when they are ready to buy, they will contact you !
A few examples
Still not sure what you should write about? Let me give you a few examples:
- If you are a coach, write about your coaching approach, about the most frequently asked questions you get from potential clients, a series of coaching tips, a list of inspirational quotes.
- If you are a stylist, write about the different colors and which color fits which body type, about the latest winter fashion, about Coco Chanel or your favorite fashionista.
- If you are a nutritionist, write about the different food groups, about your best recipes, about the good fat in avocado, about the holiday over-eating.
Do you see where I'm going with this? There's an endless list of topics for every specialty. What are you curious about? Write about it. You just need to get over that fear and start thinking "Yes, I'm a specialist at what I do and I'm going to tell the world about it!"
I call myself a specialist in Social Media, Online Presence & Internet Marketing, NOT an expert. Far from that in fact! I learn new things every day and there's people out there who are way more experienced than I am. And yet you are reading my blog post
What do you think? How are you overcoming the fear factor in blogging?

Maxine Bahns Fought To Get Her Routine BackTrix
Maxine Bahns, oh how I aspire to be you when I grow up. She's a triathlete and an Ironman veteran and here I sit, on my chair, with my computer in my lap.
She talked about the difficulty of adjusting to her status as a new mom in the magazine Experience Life.
Here's an excerpt:
For the first three weeks after giving birth in March, actress Maxine Bahns felt like a zombie. Sleep-deprived from tending to her newborn daughter, Madison Rose, every hour and a half, Bahns didn't have the energy to cook. So she devoured peanut butter sandwiches and anything else that was on hand — including ramen noodles. "My husband, for some crazy reason, loves Top Ramen, and I normally would never, ever eat that," she recalls, "but it was the only thing in the cupboard."
The more she ate, though, the more tired she felt. It didn't take long for her to ditch the convenience foods and get back on track. "My fall off the health wagon was short-lived," says Bahns, who most recently played Simon Baker's wife on the hit CBS drama The Mentalist. "When I started exercising and eating clean again, I looked and felt so much better."
Oh the craziness of having a newborn, I remember it well. It seems that she had better luck getting back in to a routine of working out and spending time with her husband than I did.
How did you do getting back into the routine?

Frank Langella has signed on to star opposite Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, and January Jones in the Jaume Collet-Serra-directed thriller Unknown White Male, according to Variety.
The script is based on the Didier Van Cauwelaert novel Hors de moi (Out of My Head) and tells the story of a man (Neeson) who wakes from a coma following a car accident. He finds that his wife of ten years (Jones) does not recognize him and has struck a relationship with another man who has stolen his identity.
Both Kruger and Langella will portray characters that help the protagonist in his quest to recover his identity and his relationship with his wife.
This will be the fourth project for Langella following his Oscar-nominated performance in Frost/Nixon. He had a memorable role as the enigmatic Arlington Steward in Richard Kelly's The Box and has completed shooting on Andrew Jarecki's thriller All Good Things and Oliver Stone's sequel Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps.

When I left Cincinnati to come to LeTourneau many years ago, a friend of mine gave me a verse:
Mark 10:29-30 says that "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age and in the age to come, eternal life." This promise has been fulfilled in my life, time and time again, as God has poured out abundant mercy.
At LeTourneau University, we work together to prepare workers for the harvest. In a dark and dying world, Christian psychologists can be salt and light to the lost. We are in the business of training "missionaries."
Dr. Sheafer was born on a military base in Great Falls, Montana, but grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is an active member of Pine Forest Baptist Church in Hallsville, Texas, where she sings in the choir and serves as a substitute teacher whenever needed.
Dr. Sheafer's hobbies all revolve around sports and music. She plays basketball, softball, tennis, racquetball, soccer, volleyball, and runs in local races. She also stays up way too late watching Sports Center on ESPN.

Green Gala: A Runway Show Amongst the Redwoods at UC Berkeley
Whispers of "nice stems" and "check out the trunk on that one" at one Bay Area fashion event taking place this weekend are likely to have nothing to do with willowy models coming down the runway.
Green Hot: Meet Mr. Larkin
These days, it seems like everybody wants a piece of Mr. Larkin. And who wouldn't? Along with elegantly edgy good looks, a sense of humor and a certain way with the ladies, just about everything Mr. Larkin brings to the table is completely sustainable. We're not referring to the latest eligible bachelor in town, but rather what we're betting will be one of San Francisco's most-talked-about local labels before the summer is through.

While dining outdoors has always been a mainstay of European culture, Americans have historically been slower to adopt dining "al fresco" outside of private homes. According to Kate Krader, Food & Wine Magazine's restaurant editor, "Once upon a time, it was challenging to find restaurants where you could consume truly good drinks and food in natural daylight, or twilight or moonlight. The best cocktails were in deep, dark speakeasies accessed through unmarked entrances and phone booths. The places with good food were protected by thick walls; invariably, light wasn't pouring in from the outdoors, it was coming from the open kitchen." These days, culinary trends are shifting, and it's just as likely to find a foodie-worthy menu and handcrafted cocktails on an expansive street-facing patio as it is in the basement of an urban hotel.
But as the rest of the country slowly catches on to what Italians have always known (that fresh, thoughtful food just tastes better with a light breeze blowing across your face), it is important to emphasize that Arizona has long provided diners with five-star meals outdoors. In fact, our expansive spaces and gorgeous year-round weather have made our state a mecca for anyone looking to get out of the confines of indoors and out into the fresh air. And while you can definitely find frozen margaritas and bar food served on many local patios, you can also find a dedication to a craft, to providing guests with the best meal they can get – outdoors or not. Here are a few signature spots across the Grand Canyon State that exemplify dining at its best (and just happen to have gorgeous, open-air spaces as the setting for a meal):
Lon's at the Hermosa (Phoenix)
Truly embodying the "farm to table" concept that has invaded the national culinary landscape, Lon's at the Hermosa infuses its menu and specialty cocktails with herbs and produce grown in the one-acre onsite garden. This freshness is only further enhanced by the expansive Spanish-style patio that's covered in bright, fragrant flowers and has a picture-perfect vista of Paradise Valley – when it comes to this fine dining restaurant, the open-air setting and elegant cuisine are a natural pair. Be sure to hit the patio during a cool desert night as well, when a stately adobe fireplace keeps you warm under the stars.
La Cocina (Tucson)
A staple of Tucson's historic Old Town neighborhood, La Cocina fuses old world charm with new world sensibility. The outdoor setting is spectacular, with lush trees and adobe architecture, but there is a vibrant and progressive spirit to the place that elevates it from a traditional patio to an inclusive neighborhood gathering spot. From the food with a conscience (farm-raised beef nachos or Vegetarian Reuben, anyone?) to the diverse crowd that frequents the place, La Cocina knows that a great restaurant is more than the sum of its parts. So bring a friend – or your trusty dog – grab a glass of the cinnamon-infused sangria, and get comfortable. You're home.
House of Tricks (Tempe)
Open since 1987, when the Trick family made an investment in a 1920's cottage in a state of disrepair, House of Tricks is just a few blocks away from busy Mill Avenue, the center of downtown Tempe and the Arizona State University campus, but feels worlds apart from the hustle and bustle. Capturing the essence of a time when the area was primarily residential, the restaurant feels tranquil and romantic, largely because of its multiple patios, surrounded by green, expansive trees that shade the area and provide a sense of seclusion. But, of course, like any great Arizona restaurant, House of Tricks is more than just its outdoor spaces. The food is seasonally and globally inspired, with both local ingredients and eclectic touches (Asian flavors take a starring role in many of the new American dishes). In this sense, House of Tricks is a place to escape from the ordinary, whether with a cherished friend or a new romantic interest.
L'Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek (Sedona)
A lesser known component of the Sedona's natural beauty is the pristine Oak Creek, framed by lush greenery and truly unexpected in an area defined by its striking and majestic red rock vistas. Nothing seems to represent the purity and freshness of nature more than a river, and the L'Auberge Restaurant on Oak Creek therefore couldn't have picked a better spot than the banks of the creek for a restaurant with a truly unadulterated focus on organic, local ingredients. As diners enjoy dishes such as roasted summer vegetables and all natural grilled ribeye, they are treated to the natural soundtrack of rushing water and birds chirping in the trees. There is little that's more idyllic than that.
Kai Restaurant at The Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa (Chandler)
With only three tables on its patio, Kai Restaurant might be a surprising addition to this list, but the spectacular views of the uncorrupted desert and stellar Native-American-inspired cuisine (which have earned the restaurant the Forbes Five Star Award and designation of AAA Five Diamond Award Signature Restaurant) make it an al fresco destination that can't be missed. The sweeping vistas over the Gila River Indian Community lands capture the imagination, but it's the truly creative and local menu that provides each diner an experience that is intimately tied to nature. "Kai" means "seed" in the Pima language, and enjoying the restaurant's farm-to-table cuisine in a pure outdoor setting is the ultimate celebration of those roots.
Grapes Restaurant (Jerome)
The town of Jerome is a former mining town tucked into the hills of Yavapai County and with its historic buildings and rich legacy, it is an unlikely location for a wine-focused restaurant with a romantic and airy patio. Grapes Restaurant pulls it off though, while still maintaining the historic roots of the town. Originally the telegraph and pony express station, the building that houses Grapes speaks loudly and clearly to a specific past while inviting today's diners to enjoy affordable, fresh dishes thoughtfully paired with some of the world's best wines. Perhaps the best thing about Grapes is that locals and tourists alike frequent the spacious patio – after all, there is something universal about wanting to escape from it all, and both the crisp air and the restaurant's fresh cuisine make that so accessible and possible.
From the unmatched beauty of a desert sunset to the romance of sweeping floral vines, Arizona's patio restaurants offer the kind of ambience that elevates eating out to an experience. Best of all, their passionate approach to thoughtful and sustainable cuisine is not only fitting for al fresco dining, but also helps to ensure that generations to come will be able to enjoy the timeless experience of a delicious meal enjoyed outdoors.

Christine Olivas moved to Phoenix in 2008 and has made it her mission then to try as many restaurants in Arizona, as quickly as possible. A self-proclaimed foodie, she appreciates great cuisine and cocktails, even more so when they can be enjoyed outdoors in Arizona's gorgeous weather.

Beavers, Orcas and Other Surprises
Patagonian Paradise
The next few hours are passed easily: breakfast and lunch on the boat are scrumptious, and between meals Cory and I join some fellow cruisers for a viewing of the documentary ''Shackleton'' detailing the famed explorer's trips to the Antarctic. We decide to take another nap in anticipation of our afternoon excursion to Wulaia Bay, but our sleep is soon interrupted by the Captain's announcement that orcas - aka ''Killer Whales'' - having been spotted swimming alongside the boat. We rush out to catch a glimpse, and all I can think of are childhood trips to SeaWorld to see Shamu. Although the beautiful whales never jump out of the water, they come up for air enough for us to see their distinctive black and white coloring.
Our second disembarkation of the day is to Wulaia Bay, where Charles Darwin made contact with the Yaghan aborigines in the 19th century. Passengers are broken up into three groups and are led on a fairly easy hike that ends with a magnificent view of the ocean and our ship below. When the time comes to head back, a young guide - Pablo - pulls me and Cory aside and asks, with a mischievous grin, if we were interested in seeing a giant beaver that lives nearby. Of course we were! After discretely separating ourselves from our fellow passengers, Cory and I wait for our private, impromptu tour. As he leads us through the trees, Pablo tells us about his family, his tourism studies and his love of nature. ''Sometimes you just have to break away from the group,'' he says. ''But you can't tell anyone I've brought you here.'' The three of us sit on an enormous log near a damn and wait for the beaver to appear. After ten minutes of following air bubbles, we spot him, working diligently away on his masterpiece. We have to hustle back down the hill to the Zodiac boats shortly thereafter - where a whiskey and hot chocolate is waiting - but the sight was well worth it.
That evening we play Bingo and I win the last prize of the night, a joke for having the ''worst'' board. After a good laugh, we turn in for the night, eagerly anticipating the next day's adventures.

The offense is held without a touchdown during scrimmaging
Seven spring practices is by any definition a small sample size.
But after a Saturday workout that included the most extensive scrimmaging yet for the Washington Huskies, UW quarterback Keith Price said he's seen enough to make an assessment of his team's defense.
"They are definitely getting better," he said. "It's tough because they are throwing different kinds of looks at me that I haven't seen before and it's a matter of me adjusting. So next week, the offense should be ripping."
Saturday, though, a defense last seen allowing 67 points to Baylor in the Alamo Bowl got the better of the offense.

During a roughly 30-play live tackling session featuring five series of the No. 1 and 2 offense going against the No. 1 and No. 2 defense, the offense didn't score a point.
The best chance for the offense was thwarted when junior safety Sean Parker picked off one of Price's throws near the goal line to end one drive.
On another possession led by Price, linebacker John Timu broke through to stop Bishop Sankey short on a fourth-and-one from the 26. And during a live contact goal-line session, the defense won, stopping the offense on six of 11 tries.
Such performances haven't been uncommon this spring as the defense — featuring four new coaches, including coordinator Justin Wilcox — has more than held its own. The offensive line issues no doubt contribute.
But UW coach Steve Sarkisian said he thinks some of what is being seen is real defensive improvement.
"It's been pretty cool (to watch)," he said. "And by no means do I think it was manufactured. The defense is winning these plays. I think it's exciting for our defensive players that they are winning some of those head-to-head competitions with the offense. I think that builds spirit and builds morale and builds want-to."
Because it's just seven practices into spring, Sarkisian said he didn't want to make too many big assessments yet. But he said one noticeable change is the ability of the defensive backs to play tighter coverage.
"I am really excited about our ability to … we're much more sticky in coverage, I can say that," he said. "That's definitely very evident to me in the back end. We're on guys. We're covering guys. We're matching routes really well against good receivers. They are contesting balls, which is making it tough on our guys."
Wilcox has said as a general principle he would like to play tighter coverage.
"I think it's a coaching style and brand," Sarkisian said. "That's Justin's specialty is the back end and really understanding that, and he does a great job of coaching it and teaching it.'
It also helps that the secondary is one of UW's most experienced position groups with all but one significant player from last year returning.
Wilcox is also installing more 3-4 looks and has shuffled a few players in the front seven, such as lineman Andrew Hudson, listed as an end but often playing essentially a tackle spot.
"I feel as a defense we are all becoming smarter and better players," Hudson said. "I feel good about the defense — I really do."
Price threw a touchdown to Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the goal-line session, and backup QB Derrick Brown threw one to Michael Hartvigson.
Including those sessions, Price was 7 for 11 for 69 yards and Brown 5 for 9 for 80.
Brown, a redshirt freshman from Winchester, Calif., is the only other scholarship quarterback on the roster this spring following the decision in January of Nick Montana to transfer. Two signees from the Class of 2012, Jeff Lindquist and Cyler Miles, will arrive in the fall.
Sankey, competing with Jesse Callier to take over for Chris Polk at tailback, continued a nice spring with 21 yards on three carries during the live scrimmage and two receptions for 12 yards. He had a 3-yard touchdown run during the goal-line session.
• Sarkisian also praised the defense for its tackling and said he was pleased with the overall team in that there weren't a lot of penalties or other mistakes.
• Sarkisian said the knee injury of center Drew Schaefer is not serious and that he could be back in a week or two. He called it a sprain and said "it's not season-threatening, by any means." With Schaefer out, sophomore Mike Criste worked as the first-team center.
• The Huskies have eight more practices this spring, going Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Saturday the next two weeks. A practice next Saturday at 11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium is open to the public as is the Spring Game April 28 at 1 p.m. at CenturyLink Field.

Softball's 10-Game Winning Streak Snapped With 5-3 Loss To UW-Green Bay In Doubleheader Nighcap
April 17, 2004
Chicago, Ill. - The UIC softball team saw its 10-game winning streak snapped and suffered its first Horizon League blemish with a 5-3 loss to UW-Green Bay in game two of an afternoon doubleheader at Flames Field.
With the loss, the Flames are now 21-19 on the year and 6-1 in league play. The Phoenix improve to 6-18, 3-4 with the victory.
UWGB reliever Stephanie Hansen pitched three innings of scoreless relief for her first win of the season. She is now 1-7 on the year.
UIC hurler Chelsey Barclay went the distance and struck out a career-high 10 batters, but still came away with the loss despite allowing just one earned run. The defeat leveled her record at 5-5 this season.
UW-Green Bay jumped out to an early lead, scoring a pair of runs in the top of the second inning.
Both runs scored on an odd play in which UIC committed three throwing errors. With Jenny Pingle on first base and two outs, Michelle Kaminski chopped the ball out in front of the plate. UIC catcher Elizabeth Jacoby fired wide of first base, putting the runners in motion. Right fielder Nicole Shepard tried to throw the ball back in, but the ball skipped past the cut-off man and rolled all the way to the backstop. On the overthrow, Pingle headed home. Pitcher Chelsey Barclay attempted to throw out the runner, but her throw sailed past Jacoby, which allowed Kaminski to come all the way around to score to make it a 2-0 game.
The Flames cut the lead to 2-1 in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI single by Sara Hernandez, which plated Cameron Astiazaran. Astiazaran extended her hitting streak to 16 games to open the frame, doubling over the head of the right fielder.
The Phoenix would get that run back in the top of the fifth on a solo home run off the bat of Michelle Kaminski for a 3-1 UWGB lead.
UIC knotted the score in the bottom of the fifth on a two-run homer by Astiazaran that chased Phoenix starter Lisa Meissner. It was Astiazaran's career-best sixth home run of the season.
The score didn't remained tied for long as UW-Green Bay tallied a pair of unearned runs in the top of the sixth inning. With two outs and runners on second and third, shortstop Joyce Cathey fielded Anna Nieznanski's ground ball and fired a low throw to first. Senior Alycia Creese made the stretch, but bobbled the ball, allowing Nieznanski to reach first and the go-ahead run to score. Two batters later, Kaminski made it a 5-3 game with an RBI infield single.
The Flames threatened by putting runners on first and second with two outs, but Hansen got Creese to fly out to end the game.
The Flames and Phoenix will conclude their three-game series tomorrow afternoon at Flames Field at 1:00 p.m.

Canthopexy is done to correct the position of the lateral canthus of the eyelid which tends to descend with age. It is typically done via an upper blepharoplasty incision and its main indication is actually a lower blepharoplasty to avoid descent of the lower lid during the healing phase. Therefore it typically is not done by itself although such a situation may arise from time to time.

"The passage he was reading was this: "As a sheep led to slaughter, and quiet as a lamb being sheared, He was silent, saying nothing. He was mocked and put down, never got a fair trial. But who can count His kin since He's been taken from the earth?" "The eunuch said, 'Tell me, who is the prophet talking about: himself or some other?' Philip grabbed his chance. Using this passage as his text, he preached Jesus to him." Acts 8:31-35 (The Message).
What a golden moment? Just Philip and the eunuch, riding along in an open chariot, far from anywhere, engrossed in the Scriptures together. Philip was in his element, unfazed by colour, culture, race and language differences, sharing the precious truth about Jesus. The eunuch's heart was wide open to receive the truth and respond with life-changing faith in the Master.
What did Philip say to the man? He preached Jesus. What does that mean? No doubt his theme was the prophecy of Isaiah and prophecy about Jesus in general. What better way to present Jesus to this man than that He was the focus and pinnacle of Old Testament prophecy!
It was Peter's theme on the Day of Pentecost. "These people are not drunk. This is the fulfilment of Joel's prophecy," he thundered to thousands of curious onlookers. It was Jesus' theme on resurrection day when He joined the grieving pair on their way home from Jerusalem. It was Matthew's theme when he unfolded the fascinating story of Messiah, tracing every stage of His life back to the words of the prophets so that his own people, the Jews, would be convinced that Jesus was their Messiah, the king of the Jews.
Why is this such a vital theme in our faith in Jesus as the Son of God? Prophecy is God's trump card. There is no religion on earth that can point to prophecy to authenticate its message. No one can stop people from making outrageous claims but to prove those claims to be true is another matter.
Such is the foolish gullibility of man that people swallow the most ridiculous beliefs ever spawned by human imagination without questioning their source or their authority. Can people in their right mind, for example, really believe that an image carved out of wood or stone has any power or influence in their lives? What about the random powers of nature? Do they have any intelligence or desire to affect human beings for their good?
All these false systems are an attempt to evade the truth that there is only one authentic and authoritative God. He gave us a detailed written record of His dealings with a people He chose to be His channel and through whom He came in person to show us what God is like. Even more amazing, He wrote the whole story before it happened so that we would know that it's true.
When Philip told the eunuch the story of Jesus, it was no thumb-suck for entertainment; it was the poignant story of a God who cares. How much does He care? He cared enough to humble Himself to the level of a human baby, to live the same struggle-filled lives as ours and to be so misunderstood because His people wouldn't consult the prophetic record, that they murdered Him as a lying imposter.
But the story didn't end there. The prophets wrote the end of the book too. He came back again, just as He said He would, because He was not the fraud they said He was. Who proved to be telling the truth? He did, because He is alive and still doing through His people what He did when He was here in the flesh.
So who and what are you believing; the nonsense passed down to you just because you forefathers believed it, or the truth because Jesus proved it by fulfilling it to the letter?

The idea of using coin seigniorage, the profits made from minting proof platinum coins, depositing them at the Fed, and receiving electronic credits in return, to remove the need for issuing debt, and so to always stay under the debt ceiling is due to a commenter (and occasional blogger) on economics and politics blogs whose screen name is beowulf (Carlos Mucha).

My guess is that the zimbra user is not authorized to log into the database, but I don't why, and how to fix this.
Anyone have an idea?

The base camp experience at Tres Ritos Boy Scout Summer Camp this year was one of the best of my scouting career. We won the spirit stick the first day and although we didn't win it again I feel we continued to be the loudest and proudest. The boys did a wonderful job of listening and carrying out their jobs.
Our Tres Ritos Boy Scout Summer Camp "Pacos Packers" experience wasn't like some of the others, there was a lot more walking and a lot less talking. We got to enjoy more of New Mexico than the other boys on a week long hike on a trail called pecos packers. The one we went on was a 38 mile hike through the glorious mountain ranges.
On Monday we set out from the Tres Ritos Boy Scout Summer Camp base area on our 45 mile "Pacos Packers" hike. The next day, we climbed up a mountain to see the breathtaking view that was the Santa Barbara Divide, after a nearly a two hour break for lunch we worked our way down the mountain to Pecos Falls for the night. After a chilly night, we went on a day hike which was cut short by some summer rain and sleet.
The Troop 15 (Yea!) boy scout winter camp at Camp Tres Ritos this year was the best and the coldest by far. Once we got there the cold mountain air hit us and we unpacked. We were surprised by the height of the snow, which was to our thigh and it was nearly impossible to walk through.

Millions missing out on colon cancer screening
WASHINGTON Nearly half the people who need potentially lifesaving checks for the nation's No. 2 cancer killer - colorectal cancer - miss them, despite years of public efforts to make colon screening as widespread as tests for breast and prostate cancer.
But what if you opened your mailbox one day to find an at-home test kit, no doctor's appointment needed?
The dreaded colonoscopy may get the most attention but a cheap, old-fashioned stool test works, too - and when California health care giant Kaiser Permanente started mailing those tests to patients due for a colon check, its screening rates jumped well above the national average.
Now specialists are looking to Kaiser and the Veterans Affairs health system, another program that stresses stool-tests, for clues to what might encourage more people to get screened for a cancer that can be prevented, not just treated, if only early signs of trouble are spotted in time.
"By overselling and overpromising colonoscopies, we've put up barriers for people" to get any type of screening, says Dr. T.R. Levin, Kaiser Permanente's colorectal cancer screening chief in northern California.
Everyone is supposed to get screened for colorectal cancer starting at age 50, but U.S. data shows just 55 percent do. That's better than a decade ago when screening rates hovered below 30 percent, and both new cases and deaths have dropped as a result.
But about 150,000 people still are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year, and nearly 50,000 die. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says proper screening could eliminate many new cases, because regular colon checks can remove precancerous growths called polyps before the cancer has time to form.
Colonoscopies - where doctors use a long, flexible tube to visually inspect the colon - now account for 80 percent of all screening, a panel of specialists convened by the National Institutes of Health reported this month.
The $20 stool test - usually handed over by a doctor, performed at home and then mailed to a lab - is considered as effective if properly used once a year. But its use has dropped as colonoscopies took center stage.
Many doctors recommend colonoscopies as "one-stop shopping: You get screened and can get treated with one intervention," explains NIH panel member Dr. Lawrence Friedman of Harvard Medical School and Tufts University.
Sedation means it doesn't hurt, although it requires a day of bowel-cleansing preparation and can exceed $1,000. But colonoscopies allow removal of polyps on sight. If no problems are found, they're only required once a decade. They're also the required next step when the stool test or other screenings signal a possible problem.
Other options: sigmoidoscopy, an exam of the lower colon only, and the new virtual colonoscopy, a new X-ray exam offered in only limited places.
The NIH panel concluded that people should pick the screening option best for their own needs and comfort.
But it urged eliminating financial barriers. Both out-of-pocket test costs and access to a regular health provider to advise about the each option's pros and cons are hurdles.
Indeed, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center last week reported racial disparities in colon cancer are widening, suggesting unequal improvements in screening access. In 1992, blacks were 60 percent more likely than white to be diagnosed with late-stage colorectal cancer; by 2004, that likelihood had doubled.
Medicare pays for colorectal screening - with the exception of virtual colonoscopy - but that government-run insurance program is for people 65 and older. So 22 states and four tribal organizations are about to begin free screening for low-income 50- to 64-year-olds, with CDC funding. Florida is offering both the stool test and colonoscopies; other states are choosing one or the other and will track public acceptance.

We retain our add rating on DLF but alter our target price (TP) to Rs 235 (earlier R255) to reflect select changes in the land bank in Q2FY14 and sales estimates. The management guidance indicates positive cash from operations in H2FY14, but debt reduction plans depend on asset monetisation. High operating costs and a weak macro environment are key risks to balance sheet recovery.
DLF recorded operating revenue of Rs 1,950 crore in Q2FY14, again most of it contributed by Phase-5 recognition. Gross margins from projects were maintained but operating margins dropped on higher other expenditure. As per the management, recovery from asset sales was Rs 530 crore in Q2FY14.
The management continues to hold huge cash balances to address liquidity issues until March 2014. DLF sold 0.9 mn sq. ft during the quarter R730 crore at blended average realizations of R8,000 per sqft. Sales were low due to a lack of new launches. Gurgaon contributed 33% of sales volume and 62% of sales value in Q2. DLF achieved half its FY14 guidance in H1FY14 with higher realisations in Phase-5, Gurgaon sales. The management has retained its R6,000 crore sales guidance and R17,500 crore net debt target by March 2014.

U.S. Coast Guard Awards
Marion K. Reynolds
Awarded 2 March 1948
On 2 September 1947, at approximately 12:15 AM, ETM3 Robert T. Gray was washed overboard while the USCGC McCulloch was on North Atlantic Ocean Weather Patrol "Station Charlie." At this time the sea was rough, there was a strong breeze blowing, and the ship was rolling approximately 30 degrees. Life rings with lights were immediately thrown over the side but only one lit. Gray sighted and grabbed this lighted life ring at about the time its light went out. Inasmuch as the sea was too rough to lower a boat, the McCulloch was swung beam to the sea and upwind of the spot where Gray was last seen, so as to let the ship drift down upon him and pick him up with men in swim suits. All hands were on the lookout for him.
At 12:45 AM, a shout was heard and Gray was picked up by the searchlight about 75 feet distant, feebly attempting to swim to the ship, which was drifting down upon him, and was heard to shout, "I can't last much longer." At this time the seas were breaking over the vessel, it was raining violently, and the vessel was rolling approximately 35 degrees. Darkness, the high seas, and the roll of the vessel rendered any further attempts at rescue extremely hazardous and perilous.
Nevertheless at 12:47 AM, BM1 Marion K. Reynolds, USCG, who was one of the designated swimmers, obtained permission to go over the side. Clad in a rubber swimsuit with lifeline attached, he jumped into the icy water for about almost 32 minutes and almost spent. Reynolds used his own body to fend Gray from the side of the ship, and held him around the waist until both were hauled aboard. Both were taken to sickbay and treated for shock and exposure.

Hi All,
My name is Samantha. I'm originally from Long Island, but DC has been my home for over a year and a half now. I started cycling on a regular basis when I moved to DC as a way to get around, but over time I have become more and more involved in the cycling community here. I'm planning on doing my first century ride this summer, and I just ordered my a book on bicycle maintenance because I'm going to have to take care of my bike properly with all the miles I'll be logging! I decided to join the bike forums because I'm sure I'm going to be needing advice on training, fixing my bike, etc. Looking forward to chatting with you all soon!

I took delivery of my new Seven Aerios earlier today and although I've only been on it about an hour so far, I'm very pleased. I'll report back again after I get some long miles into the bike.
When I spec'd the new rig, I was very clear that my main focus for this bike was for long rides with lots of climbing. Further, that I was willing to sacrifice a bit of quick handling and rigidity for stability, comfort and light weight. I also had them add the optional fender mounts so that I could use it for randonneuring if I wanted to in the future.
I did a short hill workout tonight and at 16.8lbs as shown in the pic below, it does climb very well. Handling is quite stable ,quicker than my Cross-Check and mellower than my LandShark. The positioning feels right on, my hands naturally fall right onto the hoods and the position in the drops feels much more accessible. The positioning is more upright than my LandShark, with a much smaller drop from stem to seat.

QuBit raises $7.5M for e-commerce personalization with big data
London-based QuBit, a big data startup company, has raised $7.5 million to further develop its OpenTag product, which lets sites manage tags from numerous analytics, marketing and ad services from one place, via the cloud. The company was founded by four former Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) employees, reported Tech Crunch.
The funding, which was led by Balderton Capital, also will be used to further develop a new Software-as-a-service analytics platform, which it plans to push into the U.S. market. The new Saas platform was launched this week.
Graham Cooke, QuBit's CEO in America, says that the founders chose London as its initial base because the U.K. was one of the most acute markets when it came to e-commerce. Cooke is also one of the group's co-founders.
"Proportionately, people spend more money and time online here than in other countries," he said. "But sites here also grapple with some of the worst conversion problems meaning they get a lot of visits that aren't converting to sales."
Even though the QuBit founders are former Google employees, they haven't fully cut ties with the tech giant. OpenTag "integrates with Google's analytics services and Google's own, free tag-management product, Tag Manager," Tech Crunch said.

Book Review: "What If?" by Randall Munroe
Many of you know Randall Munroe as the author and illustrator of the three-times-a-week web comic xkcd. For the uninitiated, it is a comic "of romance, sarcasm, math, and language." About two years ago, Munroe started a sort of "Dear Abbey" portion of the website, called What If?, where readers would write in and ask ridiculous hypothetical questions that Munroe would use his knowledge of physics (along with input from professionals in various fields) to answer completely seriously. The What If? book compiles many of the entries from the website, along with some new ones, and reproduces them in all of their glory - except the mouse-over text, of course. Read More »
