Scour he did. It was at work in 2005 that he discovered a coating material for metal that had been shelved for years.
"I dusted it off and thought, 'This is cool,' " recalls Barrett. An avid backyard cook, he realized that aluminum covered in the substance could be used in grilling: Resting panels of it between a grill top and a slab of meat, he figured, might keep food from burning or drying.
So he began experimenting with alloys and even invented a tool (a spatula-fork combo) to sell with the product.
When Barrett showed the results to his CEO in 2007, the boss, a longtime friend, told him that the company wasn't interested in consumer products, but he offered Barrett warehouse space and help finding manufacturers. Plus, he gave Barrett 90 days to work himself out of a job.
Despite inexperience, "I felt confident -- overconfident, maybe," Barrett says.
By April 2008, his sureness was shaken. Though he'd gotten his GrillGrate into some 50 stores, "it wasn't jumping off the shelf," he says. Meanwhile, folks who tried the grate complained that wire brushes wiped off the coating.

Unwilling to give up, Barrett sought out a hardening process to improve durability.
He worked around retail challenges by getting on QVC, where his first appearance yielded 1,800 sales -- well over the channel's minimum. He also created an infomercial for outdoor and sports channels. As a result, revenue rose from $200,000 in 2009 to $850,000 in 2011. This year he hopes to break $1 million.
Meanwhile, he's enjoying the breadth of the work: "I like handling all facets, from making spreadsheets to creating marketing videos," says Barrett. "It's fun to know how to do all the jobs."
Total investment in GrillGrate: $300,000
Barrett put in $100,000 from his liquid savings. But rather than hit his 401(k), he looked for investors. He raised $200,000 more from three people, including a former boss. He pays them 5% interest a year and sends them quarterly reports.
Time before he paid himself: 2½ years
Barrett and his wife, Susan, who have three grown kids, spent much of the rest of their nonretirement savings on living costs. In 2009 Susan, a homemaker, got a job to help pay the bills. Brad took his first salary in 2010; last year he brought home $70,000.
When he expects to match his previous pay: 2015
Barrett projects that GrillGrate's sales will reach $3 million in three years, as a result of amping up Internet marketing and targeting caterers. He'll then pay himself $150,000. "I've put my heart into this business," Barrett says. "I'm looking forward to selling a lot and making serious money."

Securian's focus on ethical behavior comes straight from the top and runs right through the meeting department. As others pay up for sketchy practices, the 125-year-old company reaps the rewards — and awards — of taking the high road.
Not many financial services companies would welcome a call from Eliot Spitzer. The New York Attorney General (and now top gubernatorial candidate) had much of corporate America running scared in 2004 and 2005 as he went after corruption on Wall Street. The insurance industry was a big target, with the world's largest insurer, AIG, recently agreeing to a $1.6 billion settlement and the world's largest property/casualty broker, Marsh & McLennan, already paying an $850 million settlement, both resulting from Spitzer lawsuits.
Securian was singled out, too. As the good guy.
In his suit against a California employee benefits broker, Spitzer lauded Securian Financial Group Inc. subsidiary Minnesota Life for its refusal to do business with the broker because of concerns about undisclosed compensation (any form of compensation, including sales incentives, not made public to consumers).
"We first heard from the New York Attorney General's office in late 2004 when they requested information from us about the sales practices of others in the group life insurance industry," notes CEO Bob Senkler. "We subsequently were identified as a company that would not comply with some intermediaries' demands for undisclosed compensation."
Being held up as an ethical role model was no surprise to Securian employees, least of all Koleen Roach, director of recognition and conference planning at the St. Paul — based company. Since 1999, she'd been heavily involved in overhauling Securian's entire recognition program in light of new NASD rules regarding noncash compensation. When the rules were first published in 1998, she says, "we didn't spend much time thinking, 'How do we keep our existing programs exactly the same but still remain compliant?' The fact of the matter was, we couldn't keep things the same."
But the recognition program, with its slate of incentive conferences, is critical to the company, a key driver of its remarkable producer retention rate: 95 percent among the top 500 advisors. "Recognition is as important as benefits and compensation in our effort to retain our financial advisors," CEO Senkler says. "It's a simple matter of rewarding people for hard work and good performance."
Enter the NASD
But what "performance" is measured, and how? Those were the $64,000 questions in the early 2000s, as traditional life insurers lumbered into the nimble world of financial services and got caught in the net of a new (to them) regulating body.
"The NASD ruling that all insurers [who are members of NASD] must be affiliated with a licensed broker/dealer, and all its captive advisors [agents] must be registered and licensed through that broker/dealer and trained to cross-sell products that offer clients a full range of financial investment opportunities sent most insurers into a bit of tailspin," Roach says. "It couldn't be just life insurance anymore. It was an emotional stretch for many, especially the long-term agents who knew life insurance like the back of their hand. Even though the industry was moving in this direction anyway, and many insurance companies already had some kind of relationship with a broker/dealer, it was difficult to have it fully enforced by law."
It was particularly difficult for recognition program managers, faced with long-established incentive qualification requirements that, essentially, might now be illegal. "Our entire recognition program had to change," Roach says. "We went from a benefits, compensation, and recognition structure where advisors would qualify for programs based solely on total commissions, to a system of measuring performance that includes credit for business across all product lines." In keeping with the new rules, she continues, "our programs no longer have commission-based requirements, nor do they single out the sale of proprietary life products as a requirement to achieve any type of recognition."
It was no small adjustment for companies like Securian. "We were now going to be recognizing individuals whose business assortment may not be the most profitable to our bottom line," Roach explains. "That said, the playing field for earning credits under our form of measurement is level, and we have continued to be successful and profitable despite the huge shift in business over the past eight years. It's important to note that a large part of the high ratings and profitability of our company lies in our retention. We're saving big dollars every year by retaining our best advisors. In 2005, we retained 100 percent of our top 100 advisors. That's huge in our industry."
The Personal Touch
Another factor in the high retention rate is Securian's effort to involve the field in big decisions. "In 2003, we formed a task force of advisors, managing partners, and firm management associates, and brought them together for a day-long meeting to discuss recognition," Roach says. "It was an eye-opening experience and it generated a lot of conversation and feedback from the field as to what motivates them." For example, advisors agreed they'd been getting too many plaques over the years. "Recognition needed to be more personal," Roach was told. "Our new program includes personal monthly congratulatory phone calls from senior management to the field in acknowledgement of milestones, and framed personalized letters from senior management congratulating advisors and managing partners for qualifying for a club."
This personal attention and atmosphere of openness extends to the recognition meetings themselves, where the visibility and availability of CEO Senkler and the senior management team is becoming legendary. "I like to have as much one-on-one contact as possible with our advisors at these events," Senkler says. "Recognition requires the personal touch."
About 60 percent of the 50 meetings Roach's department handles annually are for Securian's agency partners. "We are a Career General Agency system, which means we don't own the agencies that sell our products," she explains. "We contract with entrepreneurial-minded firms, licensed by our broker-dealer, who want to grow with the help of a strong business partner. They sell a certain amount of our products in order to remain on our contract, but they retain their own identities. So it's important that we solicit feedback from them to ensure that we are on the right track in terms of recognition."
Taking Care of Business
Securian's biggest incentive meeting, the National Sales Convention, is held domestically in even-numbered years. After a 14-month qualifying period, the company sends out between 500 and 600 invitations, ending up with 1,000 to 1,200 attendees (see sidebar). In odd-numbered years, about 350 total attendees head overseas for the Leaders Conference, which also has a 14-month qualifying period, with attendees earning a higher number of credits.
The highest-level meetings are the Chairman's Club for advisors and the Premier Club for firms. A majority of these meetings follow a four-day, three-night agenda, with business each morning followed by afternoon networking activities (including, in the case of the National Sales Convention, a trade show).
"What makes our events stand out is that we infuse them with our corporate culture," Senkler says. That culture is one of "hard work, fun, openness, and honesty," according to Roach. "Management puts a lot of time and thought into creating that environment at our conferences." At the same time, she notes, "business is a huge focus for us at these meetings. We are very content-conscious. We don't ever want our field partners to think we are wasting their time. We are here to help them be successful."
Keeping the Promise
Roach's department also manages Securian's involvement in insurance and financial services association events, such as the annual meetings of GAMA (formerly General Agents and Managers Association), LIMRA (formerly Life Insurance Marketing Research Association), and the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT). "We do all award certification for MDRT and GAMA," Roach says. "We are a huge MDRT house. Of about 850 full-time productive advisors, we have 412 MDRT members." (MDRT membership in 2006 requires $69,600 in first-year commissions.) Roach's department publishes a bimonthly newsletter showing how advisors are tracking toward MDRT and toward the company's own clubs and honors.
Her department also handles all communication for the annual LAMP (originally known as the Life Agency Management Pow-Wow) meeting, and plans Securian's annual managing partners meeting to coincide with the LAMP event. "All of our managing partners are there, so our home office goes to them," she explains.
That's the kind of efficiency that is a hallmark of the four-person conference department. "Being small, we have to be efficient," says Roach, who joined Securian in late 1998, became manager when her boss retired in 2003, and was promoted to director the following year. Along the way she streamlined processes, consolidating databases and financial spreadsheets, for example, and brought with her a philosophy of continuous improvement. The department handles all aspects of conference planning, from concept and design through marketing and promotion, and Roach also tracks production and makes monthly reports to the field during the qualification period.
As with her peers, Roach finds compliance concerns part of her daily meeting planning life. "Bob always says that what we do is sell a promise to pay," Roach says. "If clients don't trust us, then what good are our promises? A major part of being able to deliver on our promise to pay is not having to waste money paying fines. I take that very seriously in my role and work hard to ensure that our programs remain compliant."
Hard Work and Humor
Securian remains privately held, and some might argue that taking the high road is easier when you're not faced with the pressures of a public company, continually answering to analysts and shareholders.
"We can have a five-year plan and work toward it at our own pace, making necessary changes along the way to adjust to the market," Roach agrees. However, she adds, "we need to work really hard" in order to remain a strong and profitable company that is not a takeover target. "Part of that is making Securian a place people want to work." The list of awards suggesting that the company knows how to do that is long: Securian has been named a Great Place to Work by The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal four times, has made Computerworld magazine's list of 100 Best IT Employers for the past 10 years, and was singled out by AARP in 2004 and 2005 as a great employer for workers over age 50.
Roach believes that the company's atmosphere of hard work with a dose of fun thrown in to relieve the pressure is part of what keeps employees around. She also credits the "nonhierarchical" structure. "I've worked at Fortune 500 companies where the org charts go on for pages," she laughs. "It's not like that here. Everyone is so approachable instead of bound to a complicated structure. I think it really fosters teamwork. People are more willing to jump in and help when there are not so many defined lines." And for her, Roach adds, "the wonderful thing about management is they understand how important recognition is on every level."
Six Secrets of a Successful Program
The National Sales Convention is the largest meeting on Securian's recognition calendar, with up to 1,200 attendees. "This program is a big deal," says Koleen Roach, director, recognition and conference planning. "We try to get as many advisors there as possible." Here are six ways Securian makes the most of the meeting:
- Newbies Need to Feel the Love
Qualification requirements are lower for new advisors. Securian's entire home office management group attends a first-timers' reception, complete with games or ice-breakers. "It gives all of our first-time attendees and their spouses or guests a private, warm welcome, a chance to meet senior management, hear about the importance of networking among seasoned advisors in helping build their businesses, and about the history, culture, and business strategies that have made and will continue to make Securian a great company to work for," Roach explains. "We also hold a special breakfast the next morning for all attending advisors who are in their first three years in the business with Securian and we have two of our top advisors, who are also mentors, speak to the group. There's always a great buzz among the first-timers after that breakfast."
- Make the Trade Show a Magnet
Securian's four-hour "market fair" is now a must-attend convention event. "In the past four years we've put so much into it that people really look forward to it," says Roach. "They actually come through and go to each booth." The lunch buffet, door prizes, and in-booth giveaways are part of that. So is the fact that CEO Bob Senkler and other senior execs personally greet everyone at the door and then stay for the duration. Booths include all internal departments (from compliance to IT) and strategic outside vendors (from a company that provides disability products to transaction-processing supplier Pershing). Roach retains control over the 40 to 45 booths, down to the tchotchkes: Individual exhibitors choose their trinkets from a list of available items and Roach's department does the purchasing.
- Let the CEO Walk the Talk
"It means a lot to receive face-to-face congratulations from the CEO in addition to hearing it from the podium in a roomful of people," says Senkler. "All of us in senior management mingle as much as we can throughout the event and take opportunities to tell each advisor that we know how hard they work, that we appreciate their efforts, and that we celebrate their success." Roach notes that even the dinner seating is assigned with a goal of getting as many people to interact with the senior management team as possible. "They are there to mix with everyone," she says. "You might have the CEO sitting with a young advisor one night, then with someone who has just celebrated 20 years with the company."
- Get the Awards Going
At the welcome reception on the first night of the conference, Vice Chairman Randy Wallake introduces the big award winners: the Diamond, Gold, and Silver Advisors of the Year and the Diamond, Gold, and Silver Firms of the Year. All of the winners are seated up front with their families and senior management.
- Let Loose on the Final Night
The second night of the three-night program is Securian's formal dinner, with attendees seated with their firms enjoying an elegant evening. The final night, Roach says, "is our let-loose night." The hard work is done, the fancy dress is packed away, the speeches are over, and everyone can relax and enjoy each other's company. "Last year our final night had a 'Survivor' theme, with team competitions during the day and the final competition that night. People had a great time."
- Make Everyone Comfortable
"We create a gathering place near the main ballroom where people can meet casually throughout the program," Roach says. "We set up an Internet cafe, games, and TVs. In addition, each night there is a small, more intimate "music cafe," usually with a singer and piano player, for attendees who prefer a quieter evening."

Ultrasound Accelerated Fracture Healing Device
DESCRIPTIONLow-intensity pulsed ultrasound has been investigated as a technique to accelerate healing of fresh fractures, delayed unions, and nonunions. Ultrasound is delivered with the use of a transducer applied to the skin surface overlying the fracture site.
Ultrasound treatment can be self-administered with one daily 20-minute treatment, continuing until the fracture has healed. The mechanism of action at the cellular level is not precisely known, but is thought to be related to a mechanical effect on cell micromotion/deformation causing an increase in stimulation of transmembrane cell adhesion molecules and upregulation of cyclooxygenase-2.
The Sonic Accelerated Fracture Healing System, SAFHS® (also referred to as Exogen 2000®) was initially cleared for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 1994 as a treatment of fresh, closed, posteriorly displaced distal radius (Colles) fractures and fresh, closed, or grade I open tibial diaphysis fractures in skeletally mature individuals when these fractures are orthopedically managed by closed reduction and cast immobilization. In February 2000, the labeled indication was expanded to include the treatment of established nonunions, excluding skull and vertebra. According to the FDA labeling, a nonunion is considered to be established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing.
Note: Electrical stimulation of bone healing is considered separately in the Noninvasive Electrical Bone Growth Stimulation of the Appendicular Skeleton and Electrical Stimulation of the Spine as an Adjunct to Spinal Fusion Procedures policies.
POLICYLow-intensity ultrasound treatment may be considered medically necessary when used as an adjunct to conventional management (i.e., closed reduction and cast immobilization) for the treatment of fresh, closed fractures in skeletally mature individuals. Candidates for ultrasound treatment are those at high risk for delayed fracture healing or nonunion. These risk factors may include either locations of fractures or patient comorbidities and include the following:
Patient comorbidities:
Fracture locations:
Low-intensity ultrasound treatment may be considered medically necessary as a treatment of delayed union of bones, excluding the skull and vertebra.
Low-intensity ultrasound treatment may be considered medically necessary as a treatment of fracture nonunions of bones excluding the skull and vertebra (See Policy Guidelines below for definition of nonunion).
Other applications of low-intensity ultrasound treatment are investigational, including but not limited to treatment of congenital pseudarthroses, or open fractures, or stress fractures.
POLICY GUIDELINESFresh Fractures
A fracture is most commonly defined as "fresh" for 7 days after the fracture occurs. Most freshly closed fractures heal without complications with the use of standard fracture care, i.e., closed reduction and cast immobilization.
Delayed Union
There is not a consensus for the definition of nonunions. One proposed definition is failure of progression of fracture-healing for at least 3 consecutive months (and at least 6 months following the fracture) accompanied by clinical symptoms of delayed/nonunion (pain, difficulty weight bearing).
The FDA labeling simply suggests that nonunion is considered established when the fracture site shows no visibly progressive signs of healing, without giving any guidance regarding the time frame of observation. However, it is suggested that a reasonable time period for lack of visible signs of healing is 3 months. The following patient selection criteria are suggested, consistent with those proposed for electrical stimulation as a treatment of nonunions:
Ultrasound Accelerated Fracture Healing devices are covered as part of the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) benefit, and are subject to any applicable DME co-insurance and benefit maximums.
Investigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.

7/19/2007: Reviewed and approved by the Medical Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC)
2/15/2008: Policy reviewed, no changes

04/20/2011: Policy description updated. Moved information regarding risk factors for delayed healing or nonunion from the policy guidelines to the policy statement.
12/01/2011: Policy statement revised to state that low-intensity ultrasound treatment may be considered medically necessary as a treatment of delayed union of bones, excluding the skull and vertebra. Added the definition of delayed union to the policy guidelines.
01/09/2013: Policy statement unchanged. Clarified the definitions of fresh fracture, delayed union, and nonunion in the policy guidelines.

All he has to do is drive that car...which he does VERY well.
Report: Kyle Busch signs extension with Joe Gibbs Racing
Kyle Busch has signed a long-term extension with Joe Gibbs Racing two officials with direct knowledge of the deal told USA Today.
Busch, whose contract at JGR was scheduled to end after the 2013 season, reportedly signed a yet unannounced multiyear deal in December.
Busch would not confirm the extension following a 12-car wreck during Friday afternoon's session at Daytona.
"Everybody will find out (at the team's) media day what's coming down," Busch told USA Today.
The four-day Sprint Cup media tour begins Jan. 21.
The extension follows a disappointing 2012 season in which Busch registered only one win, finished 13th in the points standings and missed the Chase. Despite the down year, Busch's 24 career Cup victories and a record 51 Nationwide Series wins positioned him to be the biggest pending free agent on the NASCAR market.
Do you think this will be the year he starts behaving as an adult?

The second-year center might be the league's best value at $1.7 million, and opposing coaches and players are raving about him.
For Orlando, he's untouchable — or should be, especially in a rebuild.
The Magic have lost two franchise centers, Shaq and Dwight. It took them eight years to replace Shaq, landing Dwight in 2004. Nik isn't in their superstar strata, but he'll be an anchor for a decade in a league void of quality bigs.
He'll still need to be surrounded by a free-agent star (or two) for the club to return to contention.
The Magic can extend Vucevic's contract after next season, his third in the league. It should be a slam-dunk, considering Nelson, Al Harrington and Big Baby Davis (if they are still here) come off the books after the 2014-15 season.
Vucevic easily would be a $10-million-a-year player on the open market.
A Kobe hoax?
Lakers star Kobe Bryant says he beat former Magic SG Tracy McGrady three straight games of one-on-one while the two were on a promotional tour in Germany years ago.
Apparently, Kobe told Manti Te'o the story and not ESPN because T-Mac said it's all a lie. McGrady says he and Kobe were never in Germany together.
"I played T-Mac. I cooked him. Roasted him. Wasn't even close. Ask him, he'll tell you," Bryant said. "When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company, and we played basketball every day.
"We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn't play anymore."
Upon hearing the story, T-Mac tweeted, "That's far from the truth. No one in the NBA is playing 1 on 1. Me and KB never went to Germany together either."

Fort McKay legal battle continues
The fight between Fort McKay First Nation Councillor Mike Orr and his colleagues continued today in a Calgary Federal Court. CBC Reporter James Hees explained the latest developments to Portia Clark.


text:
Aziz N'Diaye finished with 12 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. He dominated on both ends of the court during the big first-half run that put the Huskies (8-5, 2-0 Pac-12) in control.
Allen Crabbe, the leading scorer in the conference at 21.4 points per game, was held to nine points on 3 for 12 shooting for the Golden Bears (9-6, 1-2). He did move up the all-time scoring charts at Cal, moving past Jorge Gutierrez and Ryan Anderson into 19th place on the school scoring list with 1,238 points.
David Kravish led the Bears with 14 points.
Washington is opening conference play with three straight road games for the fourth time in 70 years. The Huskies, who opened at Washington State, now have a chance to come out of this stretch unbeaten in the Pac-12 if they can win at Stanford on Saturday.
Washington has won its first two conference games for the third straight year and tied the all-time series with Cal at 78 wins apiece. The Huskies were never threatened in the second half, leading by double digits for the final 25 minutes.
The Bears played short-handed with backup guards Brandon Smith (concussion) and Ricky Kreklow (foot) sidelined with injuries. They also made a lineup switch with senior Robert Thurman getting his first career start in place of Richard Solomon to get more size in the lineup.
But it proved to be no help against N'Diaye and the Huskies, who dominated the boards despite coming into the game ranked 10th in the conference in rebounding margin. Washington outrebounded Cal 48-33, including grabbing 20 offensive boards.
Cal kept it close for a bit as the game was tied at 18 midway through the first half before it quickly got out of hand. N'Diaye scored two baskets and set up two other scores with blocked shots during the big spurt that gave Washington a 16-point lead.
His block on Tyrone Wallace's shot led to a three-point play by Andrew Andrews that made it 27-18. The lead reached 16 points before Bak Bak's layup ended a run of more than 6 minutes without a basket and more than 4 1/2 minutes without points for the Golden Bears.
Even when Cal came up with a defensive stop, it didn't matter, as Washington dominated the glass. The Huskies got the rebound on 14 of their first 20 misses from the floor, leading to 11 second-chance points in the first half.
The Bears couldn't do anything right in the half. They missed seven of 10 free throws, including front ends of one-and-ones by Crabbe and Justin Cobbs—who each entered the game hitting more than 85 percent of their foul shots.
Crabbe even missed a dunk when Wilcox contested him at the rim.

Report: Cardinals' Jason Licht could become next GM in Jacksonville
"Black Monday" marks the first official day when organizations across the NFL begin to fire employees (head coach, coordinators and general managers) in the hopes of improving their respective clubs in the coming year.
However in a 24-hour news cycle, those moves are often announced a few days earlier.
On Sunday, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter tweeted that the Jacksonville Jaguars intend to relieve GM Gene Smith of his duties following Sunday's season finale. Schefter also went on to say that one of Smith's two potential replacements is Jason Licht, the Director of Player Personnel for the Arizona Cardinals.
Licht is currently in his second stint with the Cardinals. In 2008, he served as a personnel executive with the team before leaving for the New England Patriots (2009-11) to take over as their Director of Pro Personnel.
He returned to Arizona in May 2012.

Would that we could have that kind of reporting today. In the story I loved the fact that he stole Stalins thunder. There wasn´t any cooking of his story before it hit the streets and radio as new is today.Todays news is molded, modified, refilled with out and out lies and half-truths and later filled with denials and finger pointing and blame laying.Kennedy´s story, sent a sigh of relief thougout the USA. Families Celibrated, Parent and familys of soldiers on the front lines heave a sigh of relief and gave many prayers of thanks to the Almighty for the end of the war in europe. I know, I was there and 13.

So the AP wanted to help Stalin look good rather than report honestly. I guess some things never change.

Some things just creep us out. But why is that? A new video from Vsauce explores exactly why some images, people and situations just give us the willies.
We sort of love the retro 8-bit look of "Super Mario Bros." and other old-school games like it, but we also dig the high-definition art re-imagining of the game by artist Jaoăo Victor G. Costa. We'd play his version any day.
One of our favorite songs happens to be perfect for a mashup with a silly "Saturday Night Live" character. YouTuber ericwoodie slapped together The Lumineers' "Ho Hey" with Will Ferrell's Harry Caray impression, and the results had us giggling in our cubicles.

On September 15th, the Kaiser Realty team joined forces with more than 60,000 other beach lovers to help keep the white sand beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast clean and beautiful during the 2012 Coastal Cleanup. Working in Orange Beach, team members set off from the Nordic Villas community and worked their way to the beautifully gated subdivision of Beachside Romar. Picking up trash and removing relics of vacations passed from the approximately 1 mile stretch of beach, the Kaiser team was able to grab items such as beach chairs, toys and other unwanted goods that had accumulated along the stretch of sandy coastline.
The Coastal Cleanup continues to be a strong, community focused event aimed at maintaining the beaches following the busy summer season. This particular stretch of beach is very special to the Kaiser Realty team because hundreds of families enjoy this very area each and every year with stays in both the Nordic Villas and the Beachside Romar subdivisions.

First Exhibition to Explore Picasso's Response to Degas
For Immediate Release
December 03, 2009
Throughout his life Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was fascinated with the life and work of Edgar Degas (1834–1917). Picasso collected the Impressionist's pictures, continually re-interpreted his images, and at the end of his life, created scenes that included depictions of Degas himself. Picasso Looks at Degas, a ground-breaking exhibition at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute during the summer of 2010 brings together over one hundred works from international museums and private collections. The exhibition is the first to explore Picasso's direct response to Degas's work and includes never-before-exhibited archival material that sheds new light on his relationship with the ballet. The Clark is the exclusive North American venue for the exhibition which is curated by well-known Picasso expert Elizabeth Cowling and recognized Impressionist scholar Richard Kendall. Picasso Looks at Degas is on view at the Clark June 13 through September 12, 2010; it will be presented at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona in the fall of 2010.
The depth of Picasso's fixation is revealed through dramatic pairings and groupings of art that have never been brought together in this ambitious way. Degas's In a Café (L'Absinthe) (1875–76, Musée d'Orsay) is placed alongside Picasso's Portrait of Sebastià Junyer Vidal (1903, Los Angeles County Museum of Art); Picasso's oil on canvas The Blue Room (The Tub) (1901, Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.) is paired with The Tub (c. 1889, Collection Jacques Doucet, Paris), a monotype by Degas that may have served as a prototype; and Picasso's 1905 Portrait of Benedetta Canals (Museu Picasso, Barcelona) is hung beside Degas's Woman with an Umbrella (c. 1876, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa).
"This exhibition is the culmination of five years of research," said Michael Conforti, director of the Clark. " Curators Elizabeth Cowling and Richard Kendall began discussing the exhibition ten years ago and have met with members of the Picasso family, studied hundreds of works by Picasso and Degas, and visited archives, museums, and private collections in the United States and Europe. Their insightful work will change our view of Picasso as an artist. This fresh look at two of the greatest artists of the modern period will fascinate visitors as well as scholars and art historians."
Picasso and Degas shared many acquaintances and lived in close proximity in Paris until the older artist's death in 1917, through they probably never met. Picasso Looks at Degas examines Degas through Picasso's eyes and the ways the Spanish artist's response varied over time from emulation to confrontation and parody to homage. The artists shared a lifelong obsession with women, visible in their portraits of friends and images of singers, laundresses, ballet dancers, bathers, and prostitutes. It is widely acknowledged that these are Degas's signature themes, but all of them are echoed in Picasso's work.
While usually identified as painters, both Degas and Picasso were innovative sculptors, printmakers, and extraordinary draftsmen, and the exhibition brings together works in these different media to examine Picasso's reaction to the challenge of Degas. The exhibition opens with Picasso's early years when he received an academic training similar to that of Degas, whose art he had yet to discover. It then leads into the bohemian world of early twentieth-century Paris where Picasso first directly encountered Degas's work and began to respond to the Impressionist's imagery of modern life. During this period Picasso experimented with a subject particularly associated with Degas—the laundress—and made it his own in Woman Ironing (1904, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum). In pictures such as End of the Performance (1900–01, Museu Picasso, Barcelona), Picasso pays tribute to Degas's café-concert scenes by depicting singers in mid-performance on stage.
The ballet, a central theme in Degas's work and paintings such as Dancers in the Classroom (c. 1880, the Clark), established him as the Impressionist artist of dance. Picasso Looks at Degas examines Picasso's depiction of the ballet at various points in his career. In a striking example of how the artists' unspoken dialogue unfolded, the Clark's iconic sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen (1880–81), considered shocking and radical in its time, is juxtaposed with Picasso's Standing Nude (1907, Civiche Raccolte d'Arte, Milan), which heralded Cubism. Shortly after Degas's death, Picasso married Olga Khokhlova, a dancer from the Ballets Russes, and embarked on a passionate exploration of the dance that culminated in a number of sculptures emulating Degas's celebrated series of dancers executing arabesques.
Picasso also inherited and transformed another of Degas's favorite themes—women bathing or doing their hair—returning to it repeatedly over a period of more than fifty years. The exhibition will reveal how both artists explored this intimate female world in all media and in formats ranging from the diminutive to the monumental. In one exceptional pairing Picasso's dramatic blue-gray Nude Wringing Her Hair (1952, Private Collection) is juxtaposed with Degas's late red-pink Combing the Hair (c. 1892–1896, The National Gallery, London). The exhibition also brings together sculptures by both artists which explore the unusual subject of a heavily pregnant nude woman.
In the late 1870s Degas created a series of monotypes depicting prostitutes and their customers in brothels. Relishing the subject, Picasso particularly admired these prints and eventually acquired nine of them for his own collection. At the end of his life he directly engaged with them in a series of humorous and poignant etchings in which Degas himself appears in the guise of a wary and inhibited but fascinated client. The exhibition closes with this series and with the portrait of Degas Picasso painted in 1968 as a tribute to the great Impressionist.
Picasso Looks at Degas is organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and the Museu Picasso, Barcelona. The exhibition is curated by Elizabeth Cowling, Professor Emeritus of History of Art at Edinburgh University, and Richard Kendall, the Clark's Curator at Large. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue by Cowling and Kendall, with contributions by Sarah Lees, associate curator of European art at the Clark; Cécile Godefroy, researcher at the Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte in Madrid; and Montse Torras, exhibitions coordinator at the Museu Picasso in Barcelona. The catalogue is published by the Clark and distributed by Yale University Press, and is available in English, Spanish, and Catalan.
The Clark
Set amidst 140 acres in the Berkshires, the Clark is one of the few major art museums that also serves as a leading international center for research and scholarship. The Clark presents public and education programs and organizes groundbreaking exhibitions that advance new scholarship. The Clark's research and academic programs include an international fellowship program and conferences. The Clark, together with Williams College, sponsors one of the nation's leading master's programs in art history.
In June 2008, the Clark opened Stone Hill Center, the first phase of its expansion and campus enhancement project. Designed by Tadao Ando, the 32,000-square-foot, wood-and-glass building houses galleries, a meeting and studio art classroom, an outdoor café, and the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. The second phase of the expansion includes the creation of another building by Ando that will house exhibition galleries, visitor services, and education and conference spaces. Scheduled for completion in 2014, Phase II also encompasses the upgrade and internal expansion of the Clark's current buildings by Annabelle Selldorf.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open daily in July and August). For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Since the company wanted to sell the brutality of Brock Lesnar for his match against Big Show at Royal Rumble 2014, they had Mark Henry work an injury angle and take a couple of weeks off. It looks the former world champion is returning to WWE, possibly as soon as Monday Night Raw this week.
Since the Super Bowl is being played on Sunday, WWE has decided to do their live event in Lakeland, Florida at 1pm. The advertised main event for the show is a match between Kane and Big Show, who was injured last weekend. That has led many to believe that this is a throw away show.
Big Show was noticeably missing from Monday Night Raw this week. WWE has given him some time off to heal from the hand injury that he suffered at a live event over the weekend. Management had Brock Lesnar attacking him during Royal Rumble 2014 to write him off of television.
Since Big Show suffered an injury during a WWE live event over the weekend, his match against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2014 was kept extremely short. The former UFC champion utilized several chair shots and an impressive F5, where he walked around the ring first, to finish off Show.
WWE was really hoping for a hot match for Brock Lesnar tonight at Royal Rumble 2014, so that he can have a lot of momentum heading into Wrestlemania 30, but that might be in jeopardy as his opponent for the evening, Big Show, injured his hand at a live event on Saturday night.
Since Daniel Bryan is out with a concussion, WWE needed someone to work with Bray Wyatt at the live event, as the two of them have been paired up for the last couple of weeks in preparations for their match at the Royal Rumble, so officials opted to go with the Big Show as a replacement.
"I'm a performer at heart and want to have the best performance. You just find a place in your mind where there's a trigger and you can go from being happy to emotional in a heartbeat if you're there and I was mentally there. I had so many people call about that. Arsenio Hall, Big Show and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin [reached out]. Austin said he smelled a rat. I was like, 'If you smelled a rat, it's in your house.' Nobody saw that coming. He was like, 'I've been around too long kid. I could smell a rat in a woodpile.'"
Even though WWE is making him look dominant on Monday Night Raw, there are very few people within the company that believe that the Big Show has much of a chance of coming out of the Royal Rumble with a victory during his match against the returning Brock Lesnar.
Despite being involved in a high profile match at the Royal Rumble against Brock Lesnar, Big Show was removed from this week's telecast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. WWE did not feel that his match against Jack Swagger was important enough for the shortened version.
Rumor has it that Kane will start wrestling again soon, as WWE has started putting him into matches during live events. He recently worked an extremely sloppy match against Zack Ryder, before being beaten by the Big Show afterwards in Buffalo.
Vince McMahon took Eva Marie, Alicia Fox, R Truth and Big Show with him on an overseas trip to visit the troops. The WWE stars are now returning to the United States to spend some time with their families for the holidays.
Vince McMahon, Eva Marie, Big Show, Alicia Fox and R Truth are set to take a special trip overseas to visit with the troops. WWE has not yet revealed which country they are heading to, and it's likely they won't do so until the stars return home.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust retained the WWE Tag Team Championship at TLC. Curtis Axel and Ryback were elminated first, followed by Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesario. Big Show and Rey Mysterio were eliminated when Cody pinned Mysterio.
Since WWE officials do not have a story line for Rey Mysterio, they have decided to throw him together with Big Show into a tag team. The two of them are expected to work together until at least the Royal Rumble.
While he continues to tour with the company and work matches, Big Show is said to be having quite a bit of issues with his injured knee. WWE needs him for the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, so he's expected to work through it.
John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Big Show, Fandango, Great Khali, R Truth, Bella Twins, Summer Rae, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were all in attendance at the Wrestlemania 31 press conference in Santa Clara.
John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Big Show and Brock Lesnar have all been announced as nominees for Superstar of the Year. The Slammy Awards are taking place on Monday Night Raw this week.
Originally, WWE wanted to do a match between Big Show and Triple H at the TLC pay per view, but a last minute decision was made to postpone that until a later date.
For story line purposes, WWE has announced that Big Show is not cleared to return to the ring after taking that big punt kick from Randy Orton at the Survivor Series.
Randy Orton predictably defeated the Big Show to retain the WWE Heavyweight Championship at the Survivor Series. He was able to hit the RKO after Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Kane provided the distraction by coming out to the ramp.
As of right now, the plan is for Big Show to be screwed out of winning the WWE Championship from Randy Orton at the Survivor Series pay per view.
Big Show is doing a lot better, as the pain from his injured knee has subsided to the point where he is not limping badly any more.
Big Show appears to have suffered some sort of leg injury during a WWE live event in Wales this week.

A 14-year-old boy was killed in a shooting that Prince George's County police believe was gang related last Wednesday in Lewisdale.
The youth, identified as Eliezer Benjamin Reyes, is the 59th homicide victim in Prince George's County in 2012.
The shooting was reported just after midnight last Wednesday in the 2200 block of Sheridan Street just off of East West Highway.
Patrol units from the Hyattsville District, of the Prince George's County Police Department, arrived on the scene and located two males suffering from gunshots to their upper bodies, according to Cpl. Larry Johnson.
Reyes, of Lewisdale, was shot in the head. He was transported to a local trauma center, where he was later pronounced dead.
The second victim was transported to a local hospital suffering from a minor gunshot wound to his upper body, Johnson said. He has since been treated and released, according to police officials.
The preliminary investigation suggests a suspect or suspects fired shots from a vehicle as the two victims and two other males were walking down the street. Police said two members of the group are documented gang members.
A few minutes after the shooting occurred, Hyattsville police officers spotted the vehicle near 37th and Nicholson streets in Hyattsville. After a short chase and a bailout, police apprehended one of two males who were in the van, police officials said.
Police arrested Jose Rodriguez-Nunez, 24, of Hyattsville, and he was initially charged with second-degree murder among other charges. However, further investigation vindicated Rodriguez-Nunez, and the charges were dropped.
The second suspect who fled from the van has been identified as Luis Carlos Guzman-Ventura, 18, of Lewisdale. Police obtained a warrant for Guzman-Ventura's arrest, and detectives are actively searching for him. He is facing first-degree murder and related charges.

Staff Writer
PORTLAND — Caroline Duby Glassman, the first woman appointed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, died Wednesday at Maine Medical Center at the age of 90 after a brief illness.

Glassman had a career in which she dissolved gender barriers and helped mentor other women in the profession.
She was nominated for the state Supreme Court by Gov. Joseph Brennan, a Democrat, in 1983 and reappointed by Gov. John McKernan, a Republican, for a second seven-year term.
Leigh Saufley, the woman who is now the court's chief justice, described Glassman as an "absolute force of nature" in Maine's legal community.
"Everyone in the legal community knew Caroline Glassman because she was classy and very strong and a very articulate woman," said Saufley, who was appointed by Gov. Angus King to fill the vacancy left when Glassman retired from the court in 1997.
"On issues of access to justice and how the system should respond ... she was tenacious, and many people would refer to her as stubborn because she would not let go of an issue if she thought it was important to making sure the truth of a case was actually addressed," Saufley said.
When Glassman attended Willamette University College of Law in Salem, Ore., she was one of only two women at the school. Her father discouraged her from attending.
"Very unsupportive is being polite. He did not think she should be in law school and would not pay for it," said Dale Gavin, an attorney at Thompson & Bowie in Portland who was Glassman's first law clerk and a close friend.
Glassman worked as a waitress to put herself through law school and graduated summa cum laude. Still, she was offered only a legal secretary position after passing the bar in Oregon.
She eventually went to work for a title insurance company before being hired in San Francisco by the firm of Melvin Belli, a flamboyant litigator who represented many high-profile clients in the entertainment industry.
She married Harry P. Glassman in 1953 and they had one son, Max, who now lives in Virginia. The family moved to Maine in 1963, when Harry Glassman became a professor at the University of Maine School of Law. He served on the Maine Supreme Judicial Court from 1979 until his death in 1981.
Daniel Wathen, who served with Glassman on the Supreme Court, met her when she was a stay-at-home mom, shortly after the family moved to Maine and he was attending the law school.
Eventually, he became a trial judge and Glassman appeared in front of him as a lawyer.
In private practice, Glassman focused on family law and criminal defense.
"She was a zealous advocate. ... She was very serious, very focused on what she was doing," Wathen said. "She had a way of sort of dismissing any attempt of making something light.
"She had steely eyes," Wathan said. "She was always an attractive woman – silver-haired, strong features, strong chin, a fairly low and husky voice. She had no trouble being heard."
That forcefulness did not diminish when she joined the state's highest court.
"She studied every case from beginning to end," Wathen said. "She mastered all of the details and facts. She was sort of a detail person, I was sort of a big-picture person. Even though we were very different and we fought a lot at times – disagreed in chambers – we recognized we complemented each other."
And after a long day, they would occasionally head to Three Dollar Dewey's or some other Old Port pub for a pint of Guinness and a cigarette, he recalled fondly.
