Wild Salmon
- 6 oz Filet of Wild Salmon
- Champagne
- ½ oz Powdered Wakame Seaweed
- 1 oz Wakame Seaweed salad
- 1 oz garlic
- dash of white pepper
- 1oz shallots
- olive oil
- 4 oz Rice
- 1 oz fresh peas

One of our most popular dishes is The Wild Salmon. It is a champagne steamed salmon with fried rice. Season the fish with salt and black pepper. Press the salmon into powdered Wakame seaweed. Next, fill the sauté oven safe sauté pan or casserole dish 1 cm with champagne or other white wine. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 8 minutes, check for firmness. If there is no give, it is cooked through. For the fried rice, heat a steel pan to medium high heat, start with garlic, shallots, and olive oil, activate the garlic by cooking for 30 seconds, just before brown, add the rice, fresh peas, julienne carrots, a hint of sesame oil, salt, and white pepper, after another minute, slide the ingredients to one side, and crack an egg in the pan, act quickly so that it doesn't burn. Serve the salmon over the fried rice, garnish with green onion. The Salmon we currently use is Copper River Sockeye, and the Columbia River King Salmon.

Talent Getting its Due Diligence Before Deals
That's why in January 2005, when Suwyn started working as a contract associate with Cerberus, a New York-based private equity firm, he was surprised to see how little investment banks and private equity firms focused on assessing the workforce of an organization before investing in it.
"In the past you would expect venture capital and private equity firms to do due diligence on the financial end, but there wasn't at lot of focus on talent," he says.
But that's changing, he says.
Today, a growing number of private equity firms and investment banks are realizing that given the risk and large investments being made, they need to assess an organization's talent just as they do the firm's financials.
"Companies are realizing that it's too expensive not to do this," says William J. Morin, chairman and CEO of WJM Associates, a New York City organizational consulting firm. WJM has seen a 30 percent increase in clients selecting it to do talent assessments before a merger or investment.
Market pressures force acquirers to prove the success of a transaction within months of a deal being signed. This means they need to start assessing the talent of the target organization as early as possible, experts say.
Many organizations have failed to do this, and as a result have seen negative returns, says Jill George, a partner at Mercer Delta, a global professional services organization. Forty- eight percent of merged companies have a total shareholder return that was lower than the industry average three years after the deal had closed, according to Mercer Delta.
"Ten years ago, maybe one-quarter of organizations were doing talent assessments before making an acquisition or an investment," says Philip Miscimarra, a partner and the co-chair of the workforce change practice of Morgan Lewis & Bockius. "Today that number is up to 75 percent."
The scandals at companies like Enron and Tyco also highlighted the need for a greater focus on talent, experts say. "Thirty percent of material weaknesses found [in companies] by Sarbanes-Oxley were people-related issues," says Chris Hagler, national managing director of strategic services at Resources Global Professionals, an international professional services company.
For the workforce managers who lament that their bosses don't include them in business strategy discussions, this represents an opportunity, experts say.
"Human resources managers have to be able to speak in financial terms and provide metrics so that their voice is heard," George says.
Common mistakes
The companies that do take into consideration workforce issues when deciding whether to buy or invest in a firm often only focus on the bare minimums, consultants say.
Sometimes that means they only look at the top executives, but depending on the transaction, that might be a poor strategy, Hagler says. She suggests that companies make sure they cover all of the people who interact with clients.
"It's hard to imagine that if an assessment uncovered something that it would stop a deal. Rather it might redefine how we go about the deal."
--Mark Suwyn, Cerberus
George suggests that companies go at least four levels down from the top management.
"Those are the people who are making the calls with the customers," she says.
These employees can also be critical to helping organizations assess the culture of the target company, says Karen Ferguson, executive vice president and co-founder of Resources Global Professionals. "Often the administrative assistants know the most about the company," she says.
One mistake potential acquirers make is that they only take into consideration the barest essentials of the target company's workforce. While it is important to get a picture of the demographics of the workforce and where employees are located, companies need to dig into more qualitative data, such as productivity rates, Miscimarra says.
For example, formal workplace complaints with state and federal agencies can be a good indicator of company culture. Not only can these claims tell potential acquirers about possible red flags, but if there is a lack of claims, it may also signal that the company has not established the proper channels for employees to make claims, says Jim McKay, a merger and acquisition engagement leader at Watson Wyatt Worldwide.
But getting a true sense of a company's culture requires more than reviewing claims and meeting with top management, experts say. Potential acquirers need to do their own performance reviews of individual employees, and not just go with whatever the target company provides.
"Many companies make the mistake of assuming they can rely on the acquired organization's performance data, but when they start asking questions, they realize that the data isn't anything they want to measure," George says.
Potential acquirers face push-back when trying to do their own performance reviews, she says. At Cerberus, Suwyn addresses this by being candid with the potential target companies and explaining the importance of these assessments.
"We position it by explaining that this process is about getting the right skills in the right positions," rather than being a selection process of who stays and who goes, he says. Cerberus, which works with WJM, will often retain an executive coach to work with executives of a company it has acquired.
"We don't view the assessments as an on and off switch," he says. "If something isn't working, we try to fix it through this process."
One way that acquirers and sellers can agree to share information and get around any regulations surrounding it is by setting up "clean teams." These neutral third parties do the talent assessments and keep the information confidential until the deal is signed.
Given the large investments being made, a growing number of equity firms are assessing talent as well as financials. "Companies are realizing that it's too expensive not to do this."
--William J. Morin, WJM Associates
The teams, which often consist of accountants, lawyers or consultants, usually write up a one-page report of their findings for the buyer, but keep the details private, says John Koob, a member of Mercer Human Resource Consulting's M&A services leadership team.
The process
Cerberus takes a three-step approach to its talent assessments. The private equity firm uses in-depth interviews, 360-degree reviews and personality tests to assess only the top management.
While Suwyn understands why organizations would want to do broader assessments of a workforce, he has never done so, largely because of time constraints. A thorough assessment using all three methodologies can take about five weeks, according to WJM.
But Suwyn does believe that, regardless of how much time it takes, a three-step approach to assessing talent is critical.
"Each of these methods brings in a certain degree of validity in terms of predicting people's performance," he says. "By doing all three, we are essentially spreading out the risk."
Through the interview process, WJM asks managers to provide examples of what they believe good leadership to be. Another question might be about what the managers view as their strengths and weaknesses.
"Basically this allows us to determine if what we are hearing represents the skills that we need for our new organization," Suwyn says.
Doing 360-degree reviews is also important because top executives are likely to put on their best face during acquisition talks, experts say. Another way to gauge how managers and other employees work with others is by holding group interviews or dinners, Hagler says. Group dinners with five or six employees can be effective in seeing how people interact in a more casual situation, she says.
Cerberus will also have WJM conduct written personality tests, depending on the position. These paper-based multiple-choice tests can help confirm what the company found through the interviews and 360-degree reviews, Suwyn says.
On the other side of that argument is David Silvera, a managing director at Rosemont Investment Partners, a private equity firm in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, that specializes in asset management companies. He steers clear of such tests.
Instead, the company chooses to do more face-to-face meetings and dinners.
"We are seeing more investment banks doing psychological testing," he says. "But we feel like sitting across the table from someone is more effective than having them fill in bubbles on a piece of paper."
The company also will check references before going through with an acquisition, Silvera says. "Since the asset management business is a small universe, we usually have some people we know in common that we can check in with," he says.
Silvera and Suwyn agree that assessing talent before acquiring a company is becoming more mainstream among investment banks and private equity firms. But it remains to be seen whether this due diligence will ever have the same weight as reviewing a company's financials.
Silvera says he has walked away from deals because of talent issues at an organization. Suwyn, on the other hand, says that's rare for Cerberus.
"It's hard to imagine that if an assessment uncovered something that it would stop a deal," Suwyn says. "Rather, it might redefine how we go about the deal."

1. As head of a UK-based electronics design and manufacturing company what do you think will be the main challenges in 2009?
In 2009 companies must focus, focus, focus! This will be the year that tests companies to the core – proving whether they have previously focused on the right areas and developed the right skills to deliver on their goals.
It'll be vital for businesses to maintain momentum as there's so much uncertainty ahead. However, the broader challenges of our industry haven't changed and three fundamentals will always stand true – the strong survive, the long term demand for electronics will increase and the price of electronics will continue to be driven down.
For specialist manufacturers that offer high mix/low volume products and manufacturing services, the key challenge will be ensuring customer intimacy is kept at the heart of the operation, so that they become indispensable to their clients. It's all about having and identifying unique expertise and being proactive in delivering that expertise to customers.
2. Is the UK electronics industry well-equipped to deal with a downturn in 2009?
A couple of years ago we took steps to bring laser-like focus to our business and concentrate our activities only on applications and market sectors where we could truly differentiate ourselves. Of course, we had no way of predicting the downturn – so you can either call it good management or good fortune – but because of the decisions we took then we are now in a robust position given the current climate.
For the UK electronics industry as a whole, I believe that manufacturers will be able to ride out these tough times as long as they remain focused on their core capabilities and being excellent at what they do best. Good luck helps – no business can be completely recession-proof, or, to use a football expression, "too good to go down a division".
3. Does the government have a role in supporting the industry?
Absolutely, but too often I hear businesses blaming the Government for their own failings when they should take responsibility. The Government is rightly involved in promoting, supporting and funding UK manufacturing, but it's up to us to look after ourselves. We should take responsibility for maintaining our competitiveness and start shouting about what we're doing, not relying on the Government to do this.
I believe passionately enough in the future of UK electronics that I took a leadership role as a member of the Electronics Leadership Council. The Council can provide focused and high-profile leadership to the industry and help to identify areas where Government help is appropriate, for example in skills and education.
4. Does the industry have the right skills base to succeed in 2009?
One thing that we can all be certain of is that we are a day older today than we were yesterday. So, we must ensure that the next generation of engineers are attracted, nurtured, inspired, trained and retained to take our place in the future.
One of the issues we face is that we no longer have the big electronics brand names in the UK, meaning school leavers aren't drawn to the industry. However, UK electronics innovation is behind many of the big brand names, stemming from a long tradition of UK entrepreneurs. This is something we should be proud of and we need to fight hard for added value manufacturing and products that are "made and brained in the UK".
A skills gap exists and we've had to go right back to defining overall focus, setting targets, understanding the skills that we need to meet them. We've actively engaged with local schools and colleges to promote electronics engineering as a valued and worthwhile career. We need to help ensure that the skills we need will be there in the future.
5. Which areas of the market will offer the best opportunities in 2009?
The greatest opportunities will be for industries that manufacture highly specialised/low volume electronics – something I refer to as 'design and electronics craftsmanship'. Manufacturers that supply into specialised verticals that have a high barrier to entry, such as the aerospace and defence electronics market, will be key areas of stability in these tough times. We've invested heavily in appropriate manufacturing accreditations such as Mil-PRF 38534 Class K for the space industry and AS9100 for aerospace industry. These provide protection from potential competitors and are proving to be invaluable.
Meanwhile, it is also imperative to identify areas for growth. I see considerable potential in parts of the energy sector, such as wind turbine development and deep-hole mining, where there are growing requirements for electronic sensors which are subject to extreme environments, such as high temperature. C-MAC has invested in this area and has high hopes for the future.

Congressman Gregg Harper spoke On the Record today about a cause both republicans and democrats are standing behind.
The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act aims to eliminate tax-payer funding of political conventions. The congressman says many don't realize that taxpayers are projected to pay $126 million over the next 10 years. With this act, the funds would instead go toward national institutes of health for additional pediatric research. The initiative is named after Gabriella Miller, a young girl who died from cancer.
"Gabriella Miller put up quite a fight but she died last year at age 10 of brain cancer, but that last year she was such an incredible advocate of for treatment of pediatric cancers."
This money would go to benefit collaborative efforts on a variety of different illnesses that impact children.

All-inclusive, adults-only Antigua escape
the sense of place, the authentic Caribbean flavour and beach-front rooms set directly on one of Antigua's finest beaches.
On the phenomenally beautiful west coast of Antigua
is the adults-only, all-inclusive Galley Bay Resort & Spa.
Somewhere to hide away from the real world, this is a romantic
Caribbean refuge with an eco-friendly conscience. Set directly on
the pristine sandy stretch of Five Islands, close to the
cosmopolitan capital of St John's, Galley Bay is laid-back and
unaffected. It also presents endless choices, be it swimming in the
freeform pool with cascading waterfalls, working out in the fitness
centre overlooking the lagoon, visiting the charming spa or touring
the local sites. Thatch-roofed bungalows and ocean-front rooms are
set amidst acres of lush gardens filled with coconut palms, a
lagoon and the resort's bird sanctuary (home to pelicans,
frigatebirds and herons). Premium Suites have balconies or patios
and amorous touches such as corner tubs for two and his-and-her
showers. Upholding the green ethos that runs throughout Galley Bay,
there's a nursery on-site whose fresh, organically grown fruits,
vegetables and herbs are put to great use by its three restaurants
and grill. For Creole and Euro-Caribbean dishes head to Sea Grape
and the beach-side Gauguin for traditional grilled fare. At Ismay's
Restaurant & Bar (named after a long-term resort employee) it's
all about local flavours, while at Barefoot Grill relaxed lunches
and snacks by the beach are on the menu.

A class action lawsuit against smart meters has electric customers in our area questioning if the meters are responsible for their high utilities bills.
Tallahassee resident Patricia Screen says her utilities bill is too high.
"It's a struggle." She said.
Screen says she doesn't believe city workers actually read her smart meter. "My utilities bill was the exact same amount. One month it was $151 and something and the next month it was the exact same amount."
Residents in the Bakersfield area of California have filed a class-action lawsuit against Pacific Gas & Electric because they believe their new smart meters are malfunctioning, making their bills much higher than before.
As far as Tallahassee is concerned, Matt Matherne, the Tallahassee Utility Accounts Administrator, said, "The accuracy of the meters is sound."
The City of Tallahassee installed 118,000 smart meters for residential and commercial customers in 2009.
Matherne said, "We have had a couple of concerns of that nature at the very beginning of the project, which is now over a year ago. We checked those out individually and saw no issues with the meters."
Matherne says the city is confident in their meter company--Elster, formerly White Westinghouse--because it has 178 years of experience.
For customers who aren't as sure about their bills being calculated by the meters and computer system, Matherne said, "You can check our figures by going to look at the meter yourself."
Tallahassee resident Mariah Blake says she's thankful to not have problems with her bill.
She said, "They complain about the energy. but, some people just burn lights without being used. if I'm not in a room, I don't leave lights on. I cut them off. Then, they came around one year and they gave me these energy saving bulbs, and they are the bomb."
Administrators say at last check, they can read 99.6 percent of all smart meters through the communication computer system.
For any data that cannot be read, administrators say they go out and physically read the meter to ensure accuracy.
City workers say people's bills are high because of rates and customers' usage.
Tallahassee offers programs to help with energy conservation, go to talgov.com for information.
If you don't think your smart meter working properly, you can call the city and they will come and check it.

Think for a moment that you are a small or marginal farmer of wheat or rice, and the government promises to give to your family wheat at Rs 2 per kg and rice at Rs 3 per kg (5 kg per person per month). What would you do? You would rush to sell your produce to the government at the minimum support price (MSP), which is currently Rs 14 per kg for wheat and about Rs 20 per kg for rice, and then wait for the government to give the same wheat and rice back to you at Rs 2 or Rs 3 per kg.

We were as enamored with the Jessica Chastain/"True Detective" rumors as you were this morning, and equally heartbroken when they were proven untrue. Chastain is an inspired choice for a show in need of a feminine focus, and here's hoping the rumor is news HBO isn't ready to spill just yet. But it got us thinking -- what other shows could be better with a woman in charge? Luckily, there are a lot out there with women in co-lead or lead roles ("House of Cards," "The Good Wife," "Parks and Recreation," many more...), but these 10 TV shows currently on the air could work with a woman in the lead role -- some might even be better. Without further ado, the list:
I know, I know. HBO's hit freshman show "Looking" has never pretended to be about homosexuality as a whole. It's very focused on the lives of gay men as well as the culture in the city of San Francisco. But wouldn't it be nice to have a show about, I don't know, lesbians in Massachusetts (or Washington D.C., or San Francisco, for that matter)? Spin-offs are the sequels of television, and while it's hard to think of an innocent play on "Looking" ("Watching," "Hunting, and "On the Prowl" all are non-starters), if HBO could produce a series with the grace and insight of its male-centric hit through women's eyes instead, I know I'd be watching.
"Anger Management"
Say this for FX's "Anger Management" -- it seems to have been more effective than rehab in keeping Charlie Sheen out of trouble. So maybe there's some other celebrity on the wrong side of public opinion who would benefit from taking over Sheen's place on the show. Reese Witherspoon's been awfully quiet since her drunk driving arrest. Courtney Love doesn't seem busy. Just, please, no one call Lindsay Lohan. Girl's suffered enough.
Don't get us wrong -- NBC's "Hannibal" doesn't lack for interesting female characters. But they do have an unfortunate habit of getting murdered or disappeared or ultimately playing the role of pawns. So let's take it up a notch. Television is full of male serial killers of all stripes -- a female serial killer subtly manipulating the police while cooking up a storm of tasty non-kosher delicacies would make an already original show even fresher.
Our personal casting suggestion? Gillian Anderson. Yes, she's already appeared on the show as Hannibal's psychologist, but that might make her the perfect character to assume the mantle of Head Killer In Charge when the current Hannibal gets fitted for his Anthony Hopkins-esque mouthguard. Plus, working in "Hannibal"'s favor? Anderson adores the show.
One of the CW's DC Superheroes
Yes, it's true, DC has made efforts at putting lady superheroes on screen -- specifically, the 2002 series "Birds of Prey." But while "Birds of Prey" was terrible just on its own merits, it pre-dated the new "Arrow" model for a superhero drama that the CW has found success with in recent years. "The Flash" definitely has potential, but a female-driven story using the same tone could have just as much appeal.
Take The Huntress, who has already appeared on "Arrow" and would be a natural spin-off. Maybe she becomes a bounty hunter! It could work. Just avoid comparisons to "Killer Women."

"Boardwalk Empire"
It's difficult to picture "Boardwalk Empire" without the face of Steve Buscemi, but try for one second to picture a woman in charge of 1920s Atlantic City. It would have never happened in real life, not at that time, and the HBO show would have to be fantasized to an extent to make it work. But imagine Helen Mirren wearing a giant rose on her elegant post-WWI couture. Or Sigourney Weaver. Or Linda Hamilton. Hell, the entire cast could be reworked to focus on women if we're imagining a world where women were in charge during prohibition. Milla Jovovich would make a convincing replacement for Michael Shannon's "George," and who better to play Chalky White than Darryl Hannah channeling her "Kill Bill" character? I'm intrigued already.
"The Following"
While Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy's acting is probably the best thing about Fox's exploitative serial killer drama, there is no shortage of female actors who could do just the same caliber of work, just as well. One thought, lovingly stolen from the BBC series "Luther," would be the sweetly menacing Ruth Wilson filling in for Purefoy as the leader of a murder cult. British accents, lethal inclinations -- it's a switch so easy, some viewers might not even notice.
"The League"
We all love Katie Aselton's Jenny on "The League," so much so we'd like to see more of her. Her character has proven -- along with many real life examples and basic common sense -- that women can love football as much as men. Suppose the hijinks goes too far in season six, and Jenny is left alone to mourn the death of her husband -- probably from trying to glimpse the perfect lineup again by jumping off a building or letting Taco straight-razor his bathing suit area. What would she turn to in order to cope? Fantasy football, her first love. Who with? Her new group of sports fanatics: Mila Kunis, Minka Kelly, and Alyssa Milano? They've all got background in sports culture. They're all funny. Throw in Rachel Dratch as the new Taco and a token male -- maybe Jason Mantzoukas sticks around -- and you've got quite the funny new "League."
"Sunday Night Football"
Speaking of sports, wouldn't it be nice if NBC's highest rated show featured females in more than just the opening night song? I'm not saying we should stop "waiting all day for Sunday night" to see Faith Hill or Carrie Underwood belt out the catchy theme, but what if Dan Patrick was joined in his hosting duties by Charissa Thompson, Hannah Storm, or Erin Andrews? Hell, those three plus Rachel Nichols for the injury and fantasy football updates and Suzy Kolber as the cagey veteran, could run the whole damn thing. Plus, then no one would have to listen to Cris Collinsworth anymore. Win win.
"Late Night With..."
This one is less fantasy and real possibility, as in 2015 CBS has an open slot in its late night line-up, and the only thing we know for sure is that Chelsea Handler won't be using it. There's a huge opportunity for 12:30 AM to become the home of a female stand-up or host, breaking up the hegemony of white male Jimmys making fun of the day's news and making starlets comfortable on couches. And while countless lists of who should follow in Craig Ferguson's footsteps exist, the fact is that on one of those lists, there has to be the right woman for the job. Hopefully, CBS will find her.
"True Detective"
We know creator Nic Pizzolatto is interested in hiring women to helm the second season of his critical and commercial smash, but who can live up to the two men who made season one a top contender for the best freshman season of all time? They've got to have the heat, stature, and talent of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Honestly, Jessica Chastain fits the bill just fine, giving the sourced rumor more weight simply because it made sense. Let's say somehow she still nabs the part -- who's going to be her partner? Lupita Nyong'o needs some work after that Oscar win, and she fits the bill while adding some much needed racial diversity as well. Angelina Jolie seems as far-fetched as Brad Pitt, but she would also be extremely appealing. Mary Louise-Parker, Gillian Anderson, Jodie Foster, and Gillian Anderson (yes, we know she's listed twice) would all also work, with Anderson and Louise-Parker being more attainable choices. (Of course, if Anderson signed on she'd have to partner with David Duchovny because of the unwritten laws of television.)

U.S. Jews embrace tradition, reject God
A new survey from Pew Research reports that while Jews in the United States are increasingly proud of their heritage and possess a strong sense of belonging to the Jewish community, religion is increasingly less important to that identity.
According to the survey, the percentage of adults in the U.S. who say they are Jewish when asked about their religion has declined by around 50 percent since the 1950s. The number of ethnic Jews, or people raised Jewish, who describe themselves as atheist, agnostic, or of no religion seems to be rising, comprising about 0.5 percent of the U.S. adult population and 22 percent of U.S. Jews.
The changing opinion on religion is divided sharply between generations. Jews of the "Greatest Generation," born between 1914 and 1927, overwhelmingly define themselves as Jewish by religion—93 percent—while only 7 percent say they have no religion. Only 68 percent of Jews of the Millennial generation define themselves as Jews by religion, and 32 percent claim no religion, identifying as Jewish based on ancestry, ethnicity, or culture.
"My relationship with Judaism is continually changing and full of unresolved questions," Isabel Kaplan, a young woman who was raised Jewish and identifies with the Reform movement of Jews, wrote in a cover story for JewishJournal. "I (usually) fast on Yom Kippur, infrequently attend religious services and have a (Hebrew) tattoo. And I don't believe in God."
Jews of no religion are different from the rest of the Jewish community. They are less likely to be connected to Jewish organizations, more likely to marry non-Jews, and less likely to raise their children Jewish.
Over all the changes in the U.S. Jewish population hangs one question: What does it mean to be Jewish. In answer to this question, large majorities of U.S. Jews said remembering the Holocaust and living an ethical life are essential to what being Jewish means to them. More than half listed working towards justice and equality as essential, while four-in-ten said caring about Israel and having a good sense of humor was important. In an interesting twist, while only 19 percent say following Jewish law is essential and most believe you can be Jewish without believing in God, 60 percent said a person cannot be Jewish if they believe Jesus is the Messiah.
The survey was conducted via phone, and included over 3,000 Jews across the country during a period of about four months, It has a statistical margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
The decrease in the importance of religion among U.S. Jews mirrors a broader national trend. According to the survey, "the share of U.S. Jews who say they have no religion (22 percent) is similar to the share of religious "nones" in the general public (20 percent)." The reluctance to affiliate is equally common between Jews and non-Jews alike of the Milliennial generation—about 32 percent of each.

Students and staff who met with the new president are encouraged with the new focus on his background of research and students.
"He wants to make this more of a community, a student community," student Ricky Bailey said. "Even though we are a large university he wants to make it feel more like home."
"I'm just very excited that we have a new president and are starting a new era for Florida State," student Allison Kibbey said.
The new president comes at a time when the challenges have never been greater.
More than 80 million dollars have been cut from the school's budget over the last three years.
Tenured professors have been fired and more cuts are likely on the way.
Tuition will almost certainly go up again as lawmakers face a deficit of 3 billion dollars.
Despite the challenges, the new president is optimistic.
"I think that it's extremely important for people to hear, from the top of the university, to hear what the facts are," Barron said. "Here's the box we're in, and here's where we have room to push out of the box and where we don't."
One of the biggest challenges facing FSU was handled in the waning hours by the last president.
That's the ousting of legendary coach Bobby Bowden.
That gives Barron a fresh start with alumni to make or break his tenure at the school.
Barron is a 1973 graduate of FSU who is still articulating his vision for the University.

Sending you all a huge thank you for your supportive emails and comments regarding my new blogitude!
You are the best.
In the spirit of keeping things spontaneous…
And possibly sticking my big toe over the line into TMIville….
TMIville: the area in which too much information is shared. Possibly creating discomfort or awkwardness for the reader. 😉
I had a hysterectomy last week.
Whew…that wasn't so hard, was it?
Everybody okay?
Why in the wide, wide world of sports am I sharing something so personal and off-topic?
Oh, you thought I was joking yesterday?
I'll spare you the unpleasantries but suffice it to say I had several "issues" that needed to be corrected and a hysterectomy was needed.
Not just any ole hysterectomy, mind you.
A robotic one.
I'm not at all a fearful person, but in this instance I was totally freaked out.
Leading up to the surgery, I was having alternating nightmares.
One involved Will Smith and those freaky looking mannequin robots trying the steal my organs.
The other, even more disturbing, was about this rogue ROOMBA that was trying to vacuum out my lady parts.
Insert loud record scratch….
Did she just say lady parts?
Sorry. That might have been a couple of toes over the line. 😉
Blame it on post-anesthesia fuzzy brain. But just out of curiosity…raise your hand if you'll never look at a ROOMBA the same. 😉
I'm happy to report that neither happened.
A week and a day after my surgery and I can honestly say that it was a piece of cake.
Well, that may be a teensy overstatement. I did spend the first few days looking for the mack truck that ran over my body. Repeatedly. 😉
But after that? Cake.
Now I'm officially bored out of my mind.
I've read several books. Watched several movies.
Seen about 400 episodes of Gilmore Girls (my go-to show when I'm under the weather).
I can't lift anything.
I can't drive.
I can't sign important legal documents. (Wha??? Are they afraid I might bequeath my beloved glue gun to someone unworthy?)
And most devastating of all…to my shadow/sidekick…I cannot throw tennis balls.
Did you know that dogs know how to play the guilt card?
Riley could teach classes on it.
But what a pal. She never leaves my side.
To summarize…(oh thank you, Lord…she's wrapping this up)…
Now that it's all done…I'm excited that my quality of life will go up exponentially.
And the thought of never, ever, ever receiving a visit from that old hag Aunt Flo again?
Let's just say that the happy dance I'm doing will need to be measured on the Richter scale.
As soon as these stitches heal…

The Teaches of Peaches
Nothing says rock 'n' roll like "doo doo da doo." What does it mean? Who cares? When New York City anti-folk duo the Moldy Peaches sing those syllables, the pleasure of the music lies in its organic inflections. That's true for most forms of communication: Even tiny babies know that food tastes better when you say, "Mmmm!" and the flu feels more tolerable when you're groaning. As feminist theorist Julia Kristeva taught us, the delirious babble of signification comes from the basic rhythms of our semiotic drives. And as Robert Plant taught us, those urges are best satisfied by the yeah, the na na, the muthawannagizzzowww! that rockers emote in the purest form of release.
Perhaps that's why the Moldy Peaches' infantile jabberings on "Anyone Else But You" qualify as the best sound poetry since Dadaist Hugo Ball's Lautgedichte. Anyone who says otherwise is just talking a bunch of poop. Poop, I said! And, oh, did it feel good to say it!
"It's the purest form of joy," says the Moldy Peaches' Adam Green about singing for the sake of hearing your own voice. He's talking in a just-woke-up croak over the phone from his Manhattan apartment. (Green later reveals that he's dressed in a Vegas-style Elvis suit during the interview--which he'll no doubt be wearing when the Peaches take the 7th Street Entry stage Thursday, January 31.) His partner, Kimya Dawson, listens in on the conference call from her Bedford Hills house, which doubles as a daycare center. In the background, small children can be heard emitting joyful yelps. "We record our stuff at home because you can hear all of the sounds," he continues. "We're not locked up in some studio that feels like a padded insane asylum. The vocals come out more this way."
They certainly do. One almost forgets the hiss of the lo-fi recording and the crude acoustic-guitar accompaniment when, in the off-key sopranos of pubescent boys, Green and Dawson sing, "Who's got the crack?" or "Suckers and fuckers and stupid retards!" or "Who mistook the crap for genius?/Who is gonna stroke my penis?" Released in the U.S. on Sanctuary Records, the Moldy Peaches' self-titled debut sounds like a Charlie Brown musical in which all the characters have Tourette's syndrome. The songs' playful experimentation gives the most explicit lyrics a childlike awkwardness--especially when the band members perform them live while dressed in the costumes that Dawson's Aunt Patrice created. (Green wears the Elvis suit, the guitar player dons a unicorn outfit, the male drummer is stuck with a Degas-print ballerina dress, and Dawson sports patchwork bunny ears that make her look like that kid from Gummo.)
The music is Playboy-bunny-foo-foo mixed with play-school sketch comedy. But it's also vulnerable, provocative, and often more punk than punk itself--regardless of the detractors who mistake genius for crap. The Moldy Peaches have been recording this stuff since they first met in the mid-Nineties: Fourteen-year-old Green was working at Pizza Pizzazz next door to the Exile on Main Street record store in Mount Kisco, where 21-year-old Dawson often filled in during the summertime. Green would visit the record store on lunch breaks and talk about K Records bands, many of whom Kimya knew personally from having attended Evergreen State College in Olympia.
"Olympia's music was supposed to be do-it-yourself, but not everyone was really 'allowed' to play," remembers Dawson. "It was just scenester kids. I would have felt like a dork asking them to play music with me. But there was Adam, this 14-year-old kid, and I was brave enough to ask him."
This staunch anti-pretentiousness might be what helps the Peaches restore the populist spirit to folk. Green and Dawson have been collecting songs performed at the open-mic sessions of New York's Sidewalk Café, which are free and open to the public. (A compilation of these artists is due out later this spring on Rough Trade.)
"We're trying to teach people about anti-folk, but you gotta spoon-feed these fuckers," Green explains. Who does he mean by these fuckers? "Um, I mean you," he offers, before bursting into his trademark stoner laugh.
"I'm just kidding," he sniffs. "Anti-folk artists are like impressionist painters. They wanted their brushstrokes to be visible. They took their canvases outside and worked in the fields. And they made way for people in future movements, who had a lot more freedom," he says. "After punk and anti-folk, there's a lot more room for error in music. And that's a good thing."
In the Moldy Peaches' case, it also contributes to a sound that not everyone has been prepared for. "Our CD has caused three car accidents so far," Dawson counts. "J. Mascis popped it in when he was in his tour van, and the van flipped over. It was wrecked and his tour manager had to call us to order a new CD. That's actually how J. Mascis's tour manager became our tour manager."
She pauses. There is scuffling in the background. "Hold on a second," she says apologetically. "I've gotta put this tired little girl to sleep."
How punk is that?

Welcome to the November 2013 Carnival of Natural Parenting: Feeding Your Family
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared recipes, stories, and advice about food and eating. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
If there is one thing I prioritize above all else, it's food.
After diet changes brought back my fertility and dramatically improved mood issues and depression (not to mention a whole lot of other symptoms and issues, including a thyroid disorder), I am a huge believer in food being the most important medicine there is. We truly are what we eat, and in the past six years, I've been trying to become something healthier than the body I built up for the previous 34.
And even so, I still am not doing everything I'd like to be doing for my family, and for myself.
Off gluten, and then some
I've been gluten-free since 2004 and will keep both of my kids gluten-free. For my older son, we did a gene test that showed a likelihood for celiac disease on one side and gluten sensitivity on the other. Several practitioners have intuited that both kids should stay off both gluten and dairy, so I stick to the gluten thing without a budge or an apology.
I want to build strong foundations in my children's bodies so that they can better tolerate whatever choices they make later in life. We are not super hard-liners compared to some great GAPS or Paleo families we know, but we have been by far the most strict healthy eaters at our Expeditionary Learning magnet public school. I'm thrilled that we now have the parent at the helm of Feeding Families Well at our school, and her reputation for a mean massaged kale salad is already getting around!
We always — always — bring our own cake/muffin/snacks to birthday parties. I don't always love the baking if it's a busy weekend, and I don't always involve my kids like I'd like to, but even if I bake in a rush, I am happy to have my children miss out on the sugar and artificial colors. I imagine it might be easier for a natural parent in a mainstream community to have a food sensitivity or allergy, because it's clear-cut and not about a judgment call. I never ask anyone to accommodate us but I do ask for a few minutes of their time to tell me what they are serving so I can make an appropriate substitute. I don't have the sense that this has ever come off as ungrateful, and I hope it hasn't!
The one time my son's cousin fed him crackers at my parents' 50th anniversary party, he became a different child. We see similar reactions with sugar, with chocolate, and certainly with any accidental ingestion of artificial colors or flavors. Most of the time, he's a healthy, happy kid, but he suffers from enough not-t00-bad stuff even on a GF diet that I just do not make a whole lot of exceptions in the "treat" category.
Other questionable habits
And yet, I do make exceptions. My son didn't have any dairy until age three, and then, when one practitioner recently said she felt — through applied kinesiology — that he was weak to dairy, we stopped buying even farm fresh milk and certainly cheese and yogurt. He was having such bad seasonal allergies for the second year in a row, I was determined to take out anything that might be taxing his system.
When the allergies were better but not gone the third year — after some detox protocols and acupuncture and a whole bunch of stuff — I slacked on the dairy. We still don't buy real cheese, but we do buy almond cheese that has casein in it and occasionally goat yogurt. We sometimes let him have gluten-free pizza. I've never put him on the grain-free GAPS diet because, well, it's just too hard, and there's no smoking gun. It was tough for me but such a necessity, my IBS was so bad after my second child was born. I had pain after eating any restaurant food and eventually any starchy foods.
My son has some congestion and some dry skin on his upper arms, but he's a happy kid who enjoys school and this year has better endurance and more of a roll-with-the-punches attitude than ever.
I do think it's okay that I came off the grain-free GAPS diet a few months back (after two years), but I would like to ditch any prepared starches like rice crackers and do more making of my own stuff with nuts and coconut flour, which I avoided until recently because I couldn't tolerate it. My children get at least some bone broth in them every day. They get cod liver oil sometimes, but not as regularly as I'd like, and not always the fermented Blue Ice cod liver oil if I don't have time to mix it with the more mainstream brands whose lemon flavor they currently prefer.
My son can be counted on to eat most any veggie besides squash (which he'll eat in a muffin or pie without complaint), but my daughter tends to get by on foods that are white — gluten-free carbs, cauliflower, potato, apple. She has never met a dried fruit she didn't like, and I'm pretty sure she would benefit from more things green, but peas in broth is about all I can get, unless she's starving and takes a shine to green beans. I have a hunch that she's just a lot more stubborn on all fronts and that once she gets out of the preschooler phase and that someday, she really will eat more foods.
I feel good about a lot of things I do, including regularly making and using chicken stock/bone broth and soaking and drying my nuts. We get most of our meat and eggs from local sources, though not as direct as we used to. My children have a hot breakfast every morning and never eat boxed cereal with extruded grains. But they eat plenty of other things I'm not wild about.
There's a lot of room for improvement. If I really had my game on, I would be:
If I could do all these things, I would feel better about occasional cheats and treats. We do live in the real world, and I don't want my kids to rebel later for a feeling of deprivation.
I want them to understand why we do what we do and to stand by our beliefs without coming off as judgmental of others who make different choices. This is perhaps the most difficult dance!

Yep, sounds like you're a total failure. So joking there — you're far, far beyond where I am with my kids. I wish I could get my whole family on board the grain-free or at least gluten-free train — Sam's grain-free, but the kids are NOT having it, and he doesn't want to push it. I suspect my sons' radically different size concerns might regulate if grains were out of the picture, but it is what it is right now. As you say, when there's no smoking gun, it's hard to make huge and undesired changes like that.
I used to call my older son's preferences the All White Food Diet. Sounds like your daughter's a kindred spirit. I have to believe that's some sort of ingrained evolutionary protective system.
Anyway, it sounds like you're doing really well so far, and you can be my inspiration!
I have really been aching to try a good coconut milk yogurt recipe, but I'm nervous. I never made yogurt even when we were on dairy.
It sounds like you all are incredibly mindful – your kids have an amazing start!

Posts about rape do tend to bring the trolls scuttling out from under their bridges, and Marie Anelle's open letter to odious pro-rapist Judge Robert Dewar was no different. A dude named Ray showed up, and while I deleted his comments, they were so stupid and so ridiculous that I felt compelled to share them with you so we can have a jolly troll-stomp to liven up our weekend. Ray wrote:
FINALLY! A judge with some common sense! This so-called "rape" was nothing more and nothing less than a MISUNDERSTANDING about whether consent was given or not. And when a girl is sporting a tube top and high-heels to go with her tight jeans, has some drinks with a guy, suggests they go skinny-dipping, gets into a car with this guy she just met, then she is, at the very least, CONTRIBUTING to that misunderstanding.
So, yeah, your garden-variety rape apology. Obviously, Ray believes a man has the right to rape a woman because that woman was drinking or wearing a tube top or skinny-dipping. Even if he was convicted of rape, well…the rapist just misunderstood the situation, and that was the victim's fault. Personally, I've worn tube tops, had drinks, and yes, even skinny-dipped with men, and shockingly, those men all understood that none of those things made it okay to rape me. Maybe I hang out with men who are smarter than Ray, who appears to be still struggling with that concept (ditto Judge Dewar, who should know better).
There was more to the comment, but I won't bore you with it. It concluded with….the man-haters clearly won't let this go, until he is given a punishment that will ruin his life. [which, I might add, is a clear violation of what we in America condemn as the barbaric practice of "double jeopardy".] Now, protection against double jeopardy prevents a citizen from being tried again for the same crime once he's been acquitted. The rapist here was convicted, not acquitted, so he won't be tried again. Since double jeopardy has nothing to do with sentencing, there's no chance of double jeopardy here at all.
I sent Ray a little note in the comments, telling him that he was a rape apologist who should STFU and go away (and maybe also look up "double jeopardy" while he's at it). I had the feeling he might be lurking. Turns out, he was. And he tried to post another comment, which was even more of a howler. Because, y'all, it seems I was censoring him, and also, I hurt his feelings:
Dear Becky;
I didn't write my comment just for you; it was an editorial I submitted to dozens of sites. I don't need your approval. The brave sites; and the ones willing to consider BOTH sides of the issue; and the ones who are against censorship just on principle; they ALL "approved" it.
In addition to looking up "double jeopardy", Ray should also check out "censorship." I'm not the government, so I can't censor anyone. And while he may feel that morally he doesn't need me to approve of his opinion—which is true, he doesn't—he needs our approval to post his comment on our website. And guess what? We ain't giving it. If others want to, that's their business.
I'm not ignorant. Ignorant would be an unwillingness to consider both sides of the issue. I'm not a woman hater. I love women. My mom was a woman.
Mine too! Funny how that works! But having a mother has never prevented misogyny—every single rapist and woman-hater ever born came out of some woman's body. Having a mama—even one you love—doesn't mean you can't hate women in general.
And I'm not a rape apologist–but SOMEBODY should apologize for the fact that it's even possible for a young man to face a prison sentence over drunken, regrettable sex in a he-said/she-said situation.
It's possible for us all to face a prison sentence if we break the law. Which this young man did, according to a jury of his peers. No one thinks its necessary to apologize for there being laws against rape…except for rape apologists like you, Ray.
I know what double-jeopardy means here in America.
No, you don't. Or you'd know it applies only to those acquitted of crimes.
But yes, I'm quite painfully aware that it doesn't mean the same thing in less civilized countries such as Canada.
This is not true; Canadian citizens are protected from double jeopardy under their constitution as well.
If you wish to reply, please do so by E-mail. Not sure I'll be checking back here, now that the UNwelcome mat has been unfurled.
Did we make you feel unwelcome? Oh noes!
Thanks for the love, Ray, but honestly, nothing's less adorable than a rape apologist. I did get some larfs picking apart your dumbassery, though, so thanks for that.

Sony Australia Releases Camera Ads Mocking DSLR Snobs
Mirrorless system cameras are targeted at consumers who need something lighter and less complicated than a DSLR camera, while still offering superior quality when compared to a point-and-shoot. Sony's NEX cameras are no different, and in a likely bid to convince such consumers further, Sony Australia has released a series of videos that mock DSLR "experts" and snobs who do not know how to fully maximize a DSLR's potential. Check out one of the videos below. The irony of course, is that Sony sells not just mirrorless and compact cameras, but a whole range of DSLR cameras themselves.

Boeing 787 battery fire was difficult to control
The smoking, hissing battery smoldering away inside the belly of the parked 787 in Boston had already injured one firefighter. The airport fire commander wanted it off that plane.
Six bolts held it fast. A quick-disconnect knob - just a quarter turn would pop the battery free - had melted away. Firefighters with gloved hands tried to turn the bolts with pliers, which is like trying to slice an onion with a rubber spatula while wearing oven mitts. The thing wasn't budging. A pry bar bent the battery's case but didn't move it.
They finally cut it loose with a battery-operated tool and, using straps, hauled the 63-pound, still-smoking battery about 50 feet from the aircraft.
The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday released 547 pages of reports and supporting materials about its investigation of the Jan. 7 fire. The documents show firefighters struggling to tame a small but worrisome fire that has left investigators relieved that it happened after a flight and not during one.
Another smoldering battery nine days later in Japan prompted the grounding of 50 787s worldwide. Investigators still don't know the root cause.
Other than the firefighter's injury, neither incident hurt anyone. But fire is a major threat to any airplane's safety. Before the incidents, Boeing categorized flame from the 787 battery as "catastrophic," prompting it to build in extra safeguards designed to prevent a battery fire. It was thought that the only way the battery would burn would be if it was overcharged, according to one NTSB report, which cited Boeing's earlier testing.
Boeing estimated the likelihood of a smoke incident as one in every 10 million flight hours for the 787 fleet. In January there were two when the fleet had only 52,000 hours.
The new NTSB documents also showed:
-Boeing did some testing itself, but much of the testing on the 787's battery system was done by Thales of France, which made the 787's electrical system, and by battery maker GS Yuasa of Japan.
-The plane's air system, designed to vent smoke outside if there's a fire, didn't work because the plane had lost power when the fire started. Firefighters reported smoke all the way up in the cockpit at one point.
-A Japan Airlines mechanic who was the first to deal with the fire reported seeing 3-inch flames in two spots on the battery, but only smoke was seen by firefighters who arrived a minute later.
The NTSB's investigation continues and the agency plans two public hearings next month. Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration is deciding whether to accept Boeing's plan to add more insulation and other improvements that would contain a fire. Boeing's plan would require testing and then FAA approval, and the 787 isn't expected to return to flying until April at the earliest.
The Jan. 7 flight from Tokyo had gone normally. First its 184 passengers, then the pilots got off the plane. Airplane cleaners came on board.
With just a handful of ground workers on the plane, the auxiliary power unit, which provides power on the ground, shut down. This got the attention of the cleaners and maintenance workers because all of the cabin lights and in-flight entertainment systems went dark. JAL mechanic Kazuyuki Sato prepared outside power lines in case the plane needed them for electricity.
Then a cleaner said she saw smoke by one of the plane's kitchens. Twelve seconds later, she and a worker in the cockpit left. Sato, moving toward the plane's electronics bay, radioed that he found heavy smoke there, and readied a fire extinguisher.
At the gate, someone called the fire department.

Height Gages Information
Height gages or gaging systems are used for measuring the height of components or product features. These include vernier height gages, micrometer height gages, surface gages, or other height-gaging units. Height gages can vary from simple surface gages for measurement transfer and marking to motorized, digital height gages. Height gages are available with both English and metric incremental scales.
Surface height gages and other surface gaging tools are used for transferring measurements or marking heights. Surface gages usually do not have indicating display or graduations, but some types are used to hold dial indicators.
Vernier height gages have rulings or graduations engraved or printed onto a set of linear or drum surfaces. The main scale provides an indication of the gaged dimension to an intermediate precision level (e.g., tenths). The Vernier scale provides additional amplification or an increased level of precision (e.g., thousandths). Vernier height gages provide more versatility and measurement quantification compared to surface gages.
Micrometer height gages are instruments for precision dimensional gaging. They consist of a ground spindle and anvil mounted on a horizontal steel frame. Micrometers are available in scale, digital, and dial variations. Micrometer height gages provide a higher degree of measurement precision, while sacrificing some versatility, when compared with Vernier height gages.
Digital height gages present metrology data in numeric or alphanumeric form. Micrometers, calipers, indicators are available in versions with digital displays. Height gages with digital displays often have data output capabilities using serial or other formats. Digital readouts are a precision type of digital display integrated into dimensional gages or systems.

Bribery, Fraud and Corruption Charges Against Big Pharma
What happens when the 'Average Joe' gets caught committing a crime? He or she usually gets the book thrown at them, most often spending time in the slammer. However, what happens when "corporations too big to fail" get caught with "their hands in the cookie jar," so to speak? Not very many folks pay the time, but the corporate treasury pays the fine. Why? Apparently, large sums of money can "absolve corporate sins" time after time after time. One industry that has had enormous fines levied against it is the pharmaceutical industry, also known as Big Pharma. (more…)
