That was certainly true at Louisiana Tech, as an eclectic mix of transfers and freshmen saw significant action. A walk-on even rushed for 650 yards one season.
Ingram's approach was back on display Monday night at Memorial Stadium, as the running backs bounced back from a poor showing last week with their best practice so far this spring.
"We got called out a little bit earlier in the week," Ingram said. "The last practice, the guys were kind of lackadaisical with their performance. They took it to heart and went out there and performed. I was excited early on and I think they saw my excitement and fed off it."
Redshirt sophomore Darren Ervin was the only available scholarship back, with redshirt freshman Jeffrey Coprich excused to attend a class that conflicted with the later than usual start time. Ingram is already without Brendan Bigelow and Daniel Lasco as they recover from offseason surgeries.
A pair of walk-ons, however, picked up the slack in impressive fashion.
Lucus Gingold, a redshirt junior from Clovis (Calif.), and Jonah Hodges, a redshirt freshman from Santa Cruz (Calif.), each broke off long runs during the team period, demonstrating the heart and effort that Ingram has already come to expect from the depleted group.
"They love coming out here everyday," Ingram said. "They have a smile on their face, and work hard to be the best player they can."
But working to process a new offense and approach to practice has left the running backs playing tentative and tired at times.
"It wears you down on the front end," Ingram said.
"The small things and the details they have to pay attention to, without those becoming routine, it takes a while for them to get it."
They are not the only ones struggling with the transition, as head coach Sonny Dykes said the entire team isn't practicing in the right way yet, creating unnecessary risk of injuries.
"We've got to do a better job of getting our point across to our players as coaches," Dykes said. "We've got to stay off the ground, we've got to keep each other healthy, and we've got to get a lot of work done."
For his part, Ingram believes the running backs are getting closer to meeting those aims.
"Going into it with closed eyes, you don't really have an understanding of what to expect," he said. "I think they get it now."
Not So Safety
When breaking down the composition of the 2013 recruiting class, Dykes identified safety as the one position that was not addressed in satisfactory faction. Now those depth issues have been exacerbated because of injuries.
Redshirt senior Alex Logan will miss one-to-two weeks with a left knee injury he suffered last Wednesday.
"It looks like he is probably going to be out for a while," Dykes said.
Then redshirt junior Michael Lowe suffered an apparent injury Monday, leaving redshirt freshman Damariay Drew to see reps next to returning starter Avery Sebastian. Dykes could not offer any details regarding Lowe's condition immediately after practice.
Quick Hits
Redshirt freshman Matt Cochran received first-team reps at center for the first time. "It is going to be a competitive spot," said Dykes, between Cochran and redshirt senior Mark Brazinski.

Doves Farm
A niche market website for an established brand
The Client
Doves Farm are organic flour specialists and a family owned company with over 60 staff. They're dedicated to upholding organic, ethical and Fairtrade agricultural systems, nurturing partnerships with suppliers and customers and supporting local community projects.
The Challenge
They were looking to grow their business online by promoting and selling their products to three specific groups:
- specialist distributors/stockists
- ethical consumers
- consumers with special dietary needs
Our brief was to create a site that would help raise awareness of Doves Farm and make it easy to buy their great products.
The Solution
Targeting a niche market presents a brilliant opportunity to really focus the solution on its needs; which is what we were able to do here.
We took the time to understand the three target groups and built a site for Doves Farm that had the following features:
- Advanced e-commerce functionality that gives people a safe, secure and effortless shopping experience
- An attractive, professional and user-centred design based on the long established Doves farm brand
- A powerful CMS giving them full control over the site
- Fun interactive features such as 'Add Your Own Recipe' and social media buttons
- Integration with Lakeview, Doves Farm's offline order system
All decisions made were based on what would be best for the users of the site. For example, the main navigation was structured around their core needs: Gluten Free, Organic, Case Deals etc. A recipe section was included to show how Doves Farm ingredients can used to create a wide variety of dishes. Page's were designed to achieve the perfect balance between rich content and ease of use.
The Difference
They now have an archive of over 260 recipes, nearly 20% of which are user generated.
Highlighting that the site is attracting the right visitors and they are finding real value from the Doves farm site.
Search engine performance is strong, with Doves Farm appearing within the first 3 results for all target keywords; an essential factor when targeting a niche market online.

Man, not one other person has noticed this last verse bit is missing too ? Am I going crazier than usual -or is it in somewhere I did not notice ?
Please tell me.
Guys, do any of you remember the final verse of "It hurts me" in the 68 special where after finishing fighting off all the guys and piling them up -Elvis puts his foot on the file while the sininging the last verse and the girl walks off ignoring him?
I dont think that bit is in the DVD at all .......is it ?
Man, not one other person has noticed this last verse bit is missing too ? Am I going crazier than usual -or is it in somewhere I did not notice ?
Please tell me.
Sorry can't help you out yet !
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
I don't have the DVds yet. (1 week to go!!!)Originally Posted by jbgude
But I watched my last copy I got on VHS and I didn't notice the bit where all the bodies are piled up at the end.
Sam, hope BMG Australia get their act together and give you all COMPLETE fault free sets !I don't have the DVds yet. (1 week to go!!!)
Man, I need to get back home somehow( 8000 kms away!) and pull out my old VHS .....I think it was the version that Ann Margret introduced on TV ....
I must thank one Lyle Ray who had written this in elvisnews.com. I am just copying a part of the comments.It just confirms that I was not dreaming.there was such a scene! I am truly amazed that not many,in fact not more than the two of us seem to have noticed this ommision from the DVD :
I will quote Lyle Ray :
"From 1:45 to 3:22 (on the Lightyear disc) there is the second section of the song that has the instrumental break and the karate dancers. BMG does not have any takes from this section of the song included on our new set.
The last section, 3:22 to 4:07 (on the Lightyear disc) is when Elvis returns and starts with, "I know that he'll never set you free." He finishes the last few lines, the girl walks away, the camera pulls back and we see Elvis' foot on top of several bodies from the fight, end of number. Again BMG does not include any takes from this portion of the song on our new set. "
End quote.
I would like to take bet that this is more than a co-incidence and not a real "goof up" - I mean Ok you can miss it on Disc 1 but how come all these scenes vanish even from the out takes ? Lost when the tapes were given to Lightyear for the production of their version ? Likely theory.
Watch out for a extra spl .version with the Parody "it hurts me " included in time for Christmas ?!

What in the world would be the reason for this?
...you won't forget me when I go.
That was supposed to be the final edition that would end all other editions...
yeah right...
First they say it is the 68 Comeback the way it was shown on Dec 3, 1968.
I'm fine with that.
if they didn't have that part then on TV, then it's OK for me not to include it here with that "version".
BUT, why not make it like the Aloha special?
One version, as it was seen then and one Aloha as it was remastered, with everything in...
So I don't mind that "as-it-was-seen-then version", as long as they give us the COMPLETE Comeback!
Man, what's wrong with these people....
EPE, in their great wisdom know one thing: whatever they do, we'll buy it.
First, they released it through Lighyear, BUT songs were cut because of rights problems, so they said.
Now they release what's supposed to be the final version... Where are those cut parts?
As another member mentioned here: they will miraculously discouver them, probably in some vault 100 feet under the ground, in Salt Lake City, and they will re-re-release it under the name:
The 68 Comeback Special - Special Edition
Money.... money.. money
They are just a bunch of hyprocrits who know what they're doing, and know they will make a buck again selling the **** thing three times, OR they are just plain dumb, stupid *****s who don't know what the hell they are doing!
Your choice!
i noticed it too so dont worry you're not crazyOriginally Posted by jbgude
I'm very sorry to admit that those are also exactly my feelings towards this thing. I have the feeling that they were already aware of the problem, but decided to push this release and wait what the respons would be of the fans.I would like to take bet that this is more than a co-incidence and not a real "goof up"
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this release and cherish having it. But it doesn't feel complete with a song cutout of the Guitar Man session. I rather would have had a realyl complete version of the special (with Let Yourself go AND It Hurts Me), than the many outtakes of the Guitar Man medley sessions. I mean, they're fun to see once or twice, but contrary to the sittdown and standup live sessions (and the full special), I'm not going to watch all those outtakes again.
I'm pretty sure that eventually a cheaper 1-disc version of the special will be released with the complete Comeback Special (along with a few extras).
But hey, we're Elvisfans.... we're used to be treated this way!

We'll buy everything they release, re-release and re-re-release.
They'lll do it again and we'll buy it again
Even those who waited to buy that one have been had...
EPE knew about it
Shame on them!
I am going to become someone else's fan soon, if that goes on like this... one that will not screw me like EPE is doing

Customer Reviews
- A great piece for sharing the cause Review by Annie Martel
- I loved the quality and style of this piece, but the best part is that people always compliment me on it and it gives me an opportunity to tell them about the cause of abolitionism and the amazing women that make this piece. (Posted on 9/12/13)
- Third time is charming... Review by Jacqueline Zimowski
- This is my favorite piece, though I have more from MBS that I love. Twice I have given ones that I was wearing away; one to someone I loved, one to a stunned new colleague at an event to help carry on the message. Now I need another one for me. I should probably get them in multiples to save time. (Posted on 6/13/12)
The MBS Jewelry Centers – including the pilot program in Calcutta, the Mumbai Center, and the Jalpaiguri/Darjeeling Center are some of our most exciting new initiatives. These centers are training some of India's first women goldsmiths, offering intensive (paid) high level skills training, followed by long-term, fairly paid employment.
Survivors at the centers are designing and manufacturing jewelry in precious and semi-precious metals. They also serve as peer trainers for new trainees. Jewelry making in India has traditionally only been done by men, and by members of specific castes. It is a highly respected and prestigious skill which enables survivors to overcome the stigma of trafficking and forced prostitution.
Many of our artisans are survivors of human trafficking and brothel slavery who have been rescued in raids and have spent several years in local aftercare shelters are also in need of help and opportunities if they are to leave the shelters, live independently, and support themselves. Others are at high risk because they were born into brothel communities or in rural villages with a high incidence of trafficking. Some are survivors or child marriage, severe domestic violence or other human rights violations.
Typically, girls are trafficked between the ages of 11 and 14 from impoverished rural areas in India, Bangladesh or Nepal. They are sold as slaves in brothels, where they endure severe physical, sexual and emotional abuse and torture. Those fortunate enough to be rescued from slavery face continuing extreme challenges in rejoining mainstream society. It is a struggle to rejoin society because of social stigma and a lack of job options, education or skills.

The Arthur Jones Interview
A big part of the Comics Journal editor's job was reading every comic that comes into the office. Everything. EVERY. THING. You would think that reading 10-15 pounds of monthly mainstream comic books would be the hardest slog, but it was easily the 20-30 pounds [I started weighing my weekend slush-pile reading two months into the job] of minicomics/zines that made me wish I had turned the job offer down one more time.
The former type of comic was at least made with a baseline level of competence, even when the results were boring or insulting. The latter were often soul-grindingly awful in an endless number of ways — as bad as the shittiest webcomic you've ever seen, but only if you saw it on a grungy old monitor with a post-it note challenging you, corporate drone of Fantagraphics, Inc., to experience the genius of its truly independent spirit — and this unique awfulness made it impossible to digest without additional discomfort. Like snowflakes, no two turds are the same. [I know we're supposed to be rah-rah-minicomics-are-the-best-hooray-for-infinite-but-valid-diversity-in-infinite-combinations, but there are more than a few good reasons why there are so many cliques at even the smallest small-press shows. You know the minis I'm talking about here.]
Anyway, the minis/zines were largely awful, so when one was actually good, it was great — and when one made me laugh, it was the best. This is how I discovered Arthur Jones, whose 2002 booklet 800LB GORILLA made me laugh the hardest of any mini can I recall reading at the Journal, a straightfaced mash of Chester Brown, the Justice League, '80s pop culture and Fort Thunder. I've always wanted to know more about its creator, whose now-defunct Gorillasuit site regularly served up cool stuff in the early days of webcomics. Jones went on to draw and co-host the Post-it Note Diaries series of slideshow reading series in New York, which were collected and published by Plume in late 2011.
Mr. Jones and I had the following conversation via email on and off over 2012. I'd like to thank Arthur for sending much of the art for this piece, even while moving house from NYC to Los Angeles. — MG
Milo George: So, what drew a former Jefferson City Royal Ambassador all the way to the Rhode Island School of Design for college? Someone told me you came to RISD sight unseen?
Arthur Jones: Man, you dug deep. Yeah, RISD was a culture shock; I got in as a transfer student and didn't visit the campus beforehand. I came to Providence from a town in Kansas of 3,000 people and felt pretty overwhelmed by the move. For example, I remember seeing graffiti for the first time and wondering what language the tags were in.
On my way to RISD I drove through NYC at like 2 A.M. and was freaking out from all the traffic, concrete and lights. I'd never been to the East coast or driven in a big city — it was all exciting but I was fucking terrified. I felt like I was cannonballing into the gates of Hell. I'd grown up sheltered and assumed that the world was full of evil and Biblical snares. As a footnote: I know how silly this sounds now, but this was all pre-Internet. If I was going to RISD today I would have had a Skype interview with a teacher and surfed the RISD website. My drive to college would have been GPS-guided, not following a map drawn on the back of my hand.
George: How long did the culture shock of being in a big city on the East coast last once you got to the campus?
Jones: It was gradual. There were a number of people I met along the way who were formative, but mostly it was just about getting older and living in more cosmopolitan places. I became an atheist in my mid 20s, the same time of life when people quit their first white-collar day job and go to grad school for something like, social work or library science. As you become an adult you stop caring so much what people think about you and determine what your own worldview is.
Honestly, a big part of it was meeting gay people. Before attending RISD, I was at a small Christian college in Kansas and I shared a dorm room with a painfully closeted gay guy. He'd pace around the room reading the Bible then theatrically collapse into his bed like Joan Crawford. At first I though he was crazy, then I came to understand he was just sensitive and confused kid. After watching him for a semester it dawned on me that I was similarly torturing myself. I wasn't gay but I needed to get rid of all that dogma to find myself too.
George: So you transferred to RISD. Were you aware of Fort Thunder and/or its offshoots?
Jones: I totally knew Fort Thunder as an entity; everyone did. I wasn't part of their crowd — I found it a little intimidating — but I remember thinking that it must be one of the most unique underground scenes in the country. Then when Forcefield was in the [Whitney] Biennial, the legend of that loft space just seemed to blow up. For a few years, I felt like a million kids claimed to have gone there. In Providence, the Fort was viewed as cool but also hilarious — like the Island of Lost Boys in Peter Pan. There was a Fort Thunder uniform: New people would move in and immediately cut off all their pants at the shins and get a haircut that made them look like they had cranial skin cancer.
George: The Fort is our Woodstock; everyone claims to have been there, no matter how chronologically or geographically unlikely their claim. But, I imagine it would have been harder for you to make it through RISD without going there at least once.
Jones: I went to a handful of shows there and a pretty epic wrestling match. The first time I visited, I saw US Maple and was physically effected by their abrasiveness — they actually made me feel nauseous, but I sort of loved it. The thing I remember most was that the place was dissssssssgggggusting. I'm not squeamish and have lived in a number of semi-feral communal living situations, but Fort Thunder's bathroom and kitchen were like a vegan diarrhea bomb blast zone. I knew Brian Gibson from Lightning Bolt and Brian Ralph; they were both in the RISD illustration department. Ralph made a comic called Fireball that I found really inspiring at the time. Brinkman, Ralph and Chippendale are all wonderful artists. There was a bunch of amazing bands that played in Providence during that period. I saw some of Lightning Bolt and Les Savy Fav's first shows and I loved local bands like Thee Hydrogen Terrors and the legendary Six Finger Satellite. I left before the Dirt Palace/Hive Archive got rolling.
George: Could you talk a bit about how Fireball inspired you and your work?
Jones: Fireball was cool in a very teenage-boy way. It was all devils riding skateboards and kids beating up cops — keep in mind this was the early '90s; that iconography wasn't quite as played-out as it is now. I'd never really be exposed to minicomics before, and after that I started seeking them out.
The RISD illustration department was horrible; it taught us how to send postcards to art directors every four months and buy $3000 spreads in Illustration annuals. Very little of it was inspirational. Brian was one of those guys who was on his own path and I appreciated that. His drawings were also super great.
George: Before Fireball and minicomics, I understand you had discovered Yummy Fur as a teenager; was Chester Brown also being a Baptist a way to work your way into alternative comics?
Jones: The tiny comic shop in Jefferson City had a water-damaged box of "weird stuff" in the back under a table. Most of it was in terrible condition or used, but somewhere in there I found some Yummy Furs. "Ed the Happy Clown" was my absolute favorite. It was a nice bridge comic between the '80s comics I loved as a kid — Usagi Yojimbo, Groo the Wanderer, Bloom County, Far Side, etc. — and the world of "underground" comics like RAW or Weirdo. Later, by association, his work turned me onto Canadians like Seth, Joe Matt and Marc Bell. The Playboy and I Never Liked You are so much better than all these emo, break-up comics that keep coming out.
George: Oh yeah. So, right-wing culture has changed radically in the last 20 years that I can't imagine what a conservative teenage comics fan would make of things like Ed's Reagan-headed dick anymore. Could you talk a bit about what appealed to you about Yummy Fur at the time? And did your parents know about these comics?
Jones: Right-wing culture has changed over the last 20 years and I feel like I observed the epicenter of that change as a kid. I grew up in Jefferson City, which is Missouri's state capital; it's a small town and a lot of kids' parents were in state politics. I knew John Ashcroft's and Roy Blunt's kids. I saw Ashcroft sing before the nation got that same pleasure in Fahrenheit 911. I was blown away when that brand of Missouri religious conservative politics seemed to rule the nation during the GWB years. It was terrifying. I also witnessed the radicalization of the Evangelical church. I grew up very Southern Baptist and in the '70s and early '80s the Southern Baptists were actually very nice and culturally well-behaved. Jimmy Carter was America's first popular Southern Baptist — I think he is a good example of where the church was back then.
Then the '80s hit and the born-agains decided they need to galvanize. Mega-churches started happening. Right-wing talk radio started. Pentecostalism became less marginalized and people started talking about how there needed to be "Bible believing" Christians in government so the U.S. could become a theocracy. "Bible-believing" is the evangelical code word for being totally fucking nuts for Jesus. It means you believe every word of the Bible is completely 100% true. It creates zealotry — and people like Karl Rove know how to manipulate the blind zealots perfectly … anyway … sorry I went off on a tangent.
Yummy Fur was both smart and stupid at the same time, which is sort of everything I love. My folks knew I collected comics and perhaps had mixed feelings about that but I doubt they could tell the difference between a Spider-man comic, a Bloom County anthology and an issue of Yummy Fur. It was all kids stuff to them. Showing a comic to a parent is like making a dog watch television.
George: Your old site gorillasuit.com now leads to what appears to be a legit Gorilla Suit-selling business. Do you have any plans to collect your early comics, like 900lb GORILLA, or fold them into your primary website?
Jones: Yeah, that's funny. Someone bought Gorillasuit.com from me and now actually sells gorilla suits on it. When the site was mine, I kept getting these emails offering to buy it from what I assumed was a spam bot; I ignored them, but the offer kept going up and up. Unbeknownst to me, I was playing hardball. Eventually the offer got big enough that I felt obliged to investigate it. At that point, the site was largely dormant and I felt okay with selling it and moving on. I paid four or five month's rent from the sale.
I don't have plans to anthologize any of the webcomics I did. Milo, you might be the only person who remembers that stuff. I'm flattered that it would even occur to you. I'm so disorganized I'm not sure where much of it is. I have some zip discs in my closet that the comics might be on. I really want to get back to doing comics and hope to do a graphic novel in the future. Hit me back in five to 10 years.
George: I don't remember if it came in from one of the Journal's columnists or the review-copy mail, but I can still recall pictures and lines from 900LB GORILLA that made me laugh — the turd-looking monster holding up a boombox, Lloyd Dobler-style, yelling "KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHER FUCKER" and "Superman is using his super speed to DEVASTATE this nursing home." — but I never found out anything about its creation. I recall it having the energy of a 24-hour comic, and the book's shape made me wonder if the comic had been made with the Web in mind. What inspired it?
Jones: Yeah, 900LB GORILLA was very silly. It wasn't made in 24 hours but, as I remember, I drew it and printed it in about 3 weeks. It certainly has the spirit of a 24 hour comic. Very little of it was pre-meditated. In one of the storylines a poorly drawn Superman gets infected with some weird kryptonite, that makes him punch people who are in their 80s whenever he hears a song from the '80s. The villain — who is a dirt bike riding anthropomorphic shit nugget — plays "Jessie's Girl" or some Duran Duran song on a boom box and Superman, against his will, beats up a nursing home. I'm sure you are the only person to remember that. I just googled "900 lb Gorilla" and "Arthur Jones" and got TWO hits. Counting those two people and you, that's three who perhaps remember that zine.
For you and those two fans, the backstory to the comic was this: My friend Paul Koob does a funny little minicomic called Hamster Man; he's been doing it since he was 10. Yes, 10. In 2002, he rented a table at the Chicago Wizard World convention and asked me to join him. I accepted his invite but had nothing to sell, so I made 900LB GORILLA as quickly as I could. My only goal was to get to 32 pages, just like a real comic … not one of those eight-page doodle-zines. At the time I freelanced at a marketing company and would sneak in late at night to print things.
I remember that our Comic Con merch table being sandwiched in between Lou Ferrigno's table and this make-shift wrestling ring where these high-school kids did WWF-style routines. Watching Lou watch these kids was my favorite part of the weekend. He looked so annoyed — you could just see the wheels turning in his head: "How has it come to this …."
George: It's been a little while since Post-it Note Diaries was published; can you see the book objectively — in particular, how it and its individual pieces might have been shaped by the Reading Series?
Jones: Hmmmm. I think I can talk about it objectively. The whole thing has a unconventional trajectory and I assume few of your readers have prior knowledge of the book or the Reading Series. So I have to track backwards a bit to answer.
This whole thing started with gorillasuit.com, actually. I used to make doodles at work on Post-it notes and put them on my website. It was easily the most popular thing I did on there, because it was relatable. People looked at the site while loafing at work and I was making drawings while loafing at work.
I started making little narratives from the drawings and reading them at galleries and bars as slideshows. Those slideshows turned into the Post-it Note Reading Series, which I co-hosted with my friend Starlee Kine who is a great writer and radio personality. Each show would feature four or five authors and I'd illustrate their stories on hundreds of post-its that we'd project on stage. It was half a reading, half a multimedia comedy event. The book Post-it Note Diaries is an anthology of my favorite stories from the live events and some new stories I convinced some of my favorite authors to contribute. The whole thing is the result of a series of happy accidents over about five or six years.
I loved making the book. I got to work with some amazingly talented people and I was paid to draw full time for a few months. Totally awesome. Now for the objective part: I think the project is confusing for many people. For comics fans, the Post-it notes themselves are often perceived as a gimmick. A square yellow, office product isn't a satisfying as a drawn square. It seems less artful. And to that point, I have been frustrated that most of the press surrounding the book has been about Post-it notes being "quirky" or "fun" — not about the quality or the content of the drawings and writing. Which I think are great.
George: You and Karl Ackermann were working on a series pilot for Comedy Central — I assume this is an animation project, which sometimes ignore the boundaries of TV-pilot season?
Jones: Yeah, we wrote a script for an animated sitcom. Cable networks tend to develop content more year-round but I'm sure Comedy Central would have loved to have a Fall hit. Honestly, we went into the project wanting to keep some of the boundaries in mind, wanting to produce a really solid script that was funny, complex and structurally sound. We also wanted to produce it on time, so we'd have the best shot at consideration. Comedy Central isn't Adult Swim and we purposefully didn't want a psychedelic tone like Tim and Eric or Aquateen. We ended up reading more 30 Rock and Arrested Development scripts than anything else for inspiration; those shows ping pong around so much that they read like cartoons on the page.
Karl and I just wrapped up writing our pilot. They passed on it so I can speak about it a little. The writing process was really great. We were paired with John Lee, who is part of the PFFR art and TV collective. He was like our Tommy Lasorda and Karl and I were like the 1983 Dodgers — meaning we made some hustle plays, over-achieved and wrote a pretty funny script that wasn't quite good enough to beat the Orioles in the World Series. Before that, I did some presentation shorts for FOX. TV is a emotionally irrational, crazymaking racket. You just have to cross your fingers and hope the exact right person sees your thing at the exact time they need that thing at the exact moment in the year when they have money to buy that thing, then you have to hope that person stays at the network long enough to champion your thing through its development. It's like throwing a javelin through the hole of a rolling doughnut. At Comedy Central, we got caught up in the middle of a network shake-up and I'm not sure our script ever got a chance. It made me hungry to do some DIY projects again.
George: Anything you can share with us at this point?
Jones: I'm still woodshedding. I'm designing some posters and doing some animated PSAs for a place named the Center for Investigative Reporting in Berkeley. I'd like to write more and make some non-animated short films. I'd still love to do some comics. Maybe this interview will inspire me to dust off the ole Rapidograph.

Make saving money automatic (or like a game) to meet your financial goalsFARGO – The hardest part of saving, whether for retirement or a new car, is often getting started. Once you make stashing cash automatic, it can be fairly painless.
By: Sherri Richards, INFORUM
FARGO – The hardest part of saving, whether for retirement or a new car, is often getting started.
Once you make stashing cash automatic, it can be fairly painless.
The first step is defining your savings goals and prioritizing them. Second, free up money in your monthly budget to save.
Third, keep your hands out of the piggy bank.
"The tough part is not touching that money, letting it build," says Morgan Almer, a financial counselor with the Village Family Service Center in Fargo.
Savings can be divided into three major categories: long-term, emergency and goal-specific.
Long-term savings include retirement and college savings. Suggestions for how much to earmark for retirement range from 5 to 15-plus percent, but employees should always contribute enough to receive their company's maximum 401(k) match, says Paul Jarvis, a portfolio manager and certified financial planner with Bell State Bank and Trust.
While saving for college is a priority for many parents, as Almer points out, "you can borrow money for college, but you can't borrow money for retirement."
Emergency savings are meant to cover expenses in case of job loss or illness. A common recommendation is to have three to six months of everyday expenses set aside in risk-free, easily accessible savings, such as a money market account.
Jarvis says a three- to six-month emergency fund is fine for someone with a stable job and fixed expenses. Someone whose income is commission-based or less dependable may want to save a year's expenses, he says. The amount may depend largely on what makes you comfortable, he adds.
Other, intermediate saving priorities may include a new car, vacation or down payment on a house. To determine how much should be set aside for these savings goals, divide the cost of the goal by the weeks or months until you want to achieve it.
So, if you want to take a $3,000 vacation two years from now, you'd need to save $125 a month (or $28.85 a week) from now until then.
"You've got to keep the goal in mind. You stop thinking about that and you stop putting money away," Almer says.
Almer suggest trying the Financial Starter Roadmap tool on The Village's site HelpWithMoney.org, which lets people place five financial goals on a timeline and calculates if they're on track to meet those goals and to retire.
The best way to save money is to make it automatic, Jarvis and Almer say. This can include payroll deductions into retirement plans or automatic transfers from checking to money market accounts.
Banks are more than happy to help customers set up additional savings accounts, Almer says. Each account could have a specific savings purpose and an automatic incoming transfer.
Jarvis regularly advises his clients to increase their retirement contributions by 1 percent each year. If they receive a 3 percent salary increase, they won't miss it, he says. Some retirement plans can make the increase automatically.
"It's a painless way to hoard a lot of money over time," Jarvis says. "Set it and forget it."
Online are suggestions for nontraditional saving strategies, that may make saving money more of a game.
One common tip is to stash rather than spend all your $5 bills. Other people collect loose change (Avoid cashing it in at coin machines to avoid hefty fees.)
Stash $20 in an untouchable envelope each week to squirrel away $1,040 a year. Or to ease into savings, increase the amount saved by $1 each week. If you start with $1 in week one, then $2 in week two, $3 in week three and so on, you'll have $1,352 at the end of a year.
Jarvis also suggests looking for debit or credit cards that offer a "round up" savings feature. For example, his Bell State Bank and Trust debit card features Change Saver, rounding up purchases to the nearest dollar. The bank matches 5 percent of the savings, up to $250 a year.
So where do you find the money to save? Almer suggests these tactics to free up money in your monthly budget.
- Refinance your house. While not an option for everyone, record-low interest rates could reduce your monthly mortgage bill by hundreds of dollars. Those 62 and older may want to consider a reverse mortgage, Almer says.
- Raise the deductible on your car or homeowner's insurance. This will reduce your premiums, but transfers more risk to you.
- Reduce your tax withholdings on your W-4. You won't receive a large refund at tax time, but will have more money all year long.
- Switch to level billing with your utility company. You'll pay the same amount each month, an average of last year's usage. This can help even out your cash flow.
- Avoid hefty bank fees, switching to cash if necessary.

Poured a deep dark roasted chesnut brown with a one finger deep tannish colored head atop that lasted for quite awhile.Heavy coffee roast and char mainly in the nose,the coffee notes really stand out.Dry and big roast on the palate,charred with some mellow woodiness,only mild brown sugar-like sweetness.I like a roasted stout but I also like more sweet balance wich this lacks a little,still it's not bad.

A - black with a soft, thick, brown head that has decent retention
S - sweet honey, some faint roasted malts, some faint cocoa
T - honey, roasted malts, cocoa nibs, creamy, some faint alcohol, some faint citrus
M - medium to full bodied, warm, well carbonated
Well, I like the concept even though I had this beer far after the end of the Mayan calendar. The flavor is far more honey than anything else. The underlying stout is nice but the sweetness of the honey and some faint citrus notes take away from the cocoa and roasted malt notes. I'm glad that I tried this once, but it's not a stout that I'll pick up again.

On tap in a pint glass at Hal & Al's on 12/21/12
Very dark brown; nearly impenetrable except for the base. 1/4th in head thins to a wisp. Patchwork lace.
Strong aromas of ground coffee beans, roasted cocoa. Hints of honey sweetness, but this is dry and kempt overall. Free from alcohol notes.
The taste is just as terse. Quick hop prickles lead to an abundance of dry roast. Mostly coffee with a moderate bitter finish... espresso bitter. Not much cocoa.
Medium body with a slight viscosity. Grabbing, abrasive carbonation. Alcohol is minimal at most.
I can dig it. Last Mayan Dog is kind of like a big Irish Dry Stout crossed with a moderate American Imperial Stout.

Mayan Last Dog. Label shows the 12.21.12 date of the supposed end-of-the-world. It's not a bottle date or best by date. I poured my share into a snifter.
Translucent stout beer of a dark molasses color. A few spare bubbles didn't pop and remained on the surface, and that's all the head that formed despite me not tilting the glass and pouring straight down into the bowl of the snifter.
Straight-shooting malts in the nose. Barely a zip of hops. Smells sweet and creamy, but there is an undercurrent of roast that could mean something more robust in the taste. Picking up some chocolate, some golden raisin, and a few herbal notes. A little too straightforward. Not much to analyze.
The hops are right there on the first sip, all of a sudden, offering herbal and citrus notes. Clover honey is upfront, probably from being pronounced by other herbal/grassy notes and some gooey sweetness. But, this beer has some firm malt roast bitterness that dries out most of the honey and leaves the chocolate tones to come across as cocoa powder. Hints of mace and cinnamon stick become almost residual in the finish. Surprisingly tasty.
Very smooth, but mostly because the body is so thin. Thin for the style. The carbonation is decent, in that it stays out of the way and tries to dwarf itself to make the body seem more respectable. I must say it's sickly drinkable, as you could imagine.
The honey and chocolate and spices played together into a nice combo, and I'd like to see something like this replicated by another brewery--someone who could give it some more 'oomph'.

12oz. Blackish pour, some brown, a thin layer off white head. Sticks to the glass just a bit.
Aroma, lots of roast, mostly malt some coffee. Some caramel and dry cocoa. A little herbal hops.
Taste, Roasty again, mostly roast malt up front. Some caramel and dark chocolate. Some peat and ash. Kind of caramel mocha coffee finish. Hops don't really show up anywhere to me.
Solidly mid body, maybe just a tad thin. Not quite creamy level of carbonation. Drinks very easy. Just a little dry. More of a Foreign Stout to me. It is worth a try.

Presentation: Really cool artwork/graphics in the traditional Thirsty Dog fashion. Label also gives a small description of the beer, IBU info, ABV info, and web info. The Thirsty Dog cap and logo are awesome.
Appearance: I allowed Last Dog to warm for 10min before pouring it from its 12oz bottle into a 16oz English pint. Pours out a deep dark brown almost black color with a 2 finger brown head of medium density. Head retention was 3min 22sec before turning to a nice frothy coating and ring. Very good lacing.
Smell/Aroma: A deep roasted coffee malt scent is very prevalent in the nose along with a chocolate scent. Smell is on the sweeter side.
Flavor/Taste: A herbal grassy flavor hits the palette right away along with a slight honey sweetness. This is followed by a roast coffee and chocolate taste that is very intense before finishing with a coffee bitterness and then aftertaste. Honey comes through even more as this continues to warm.
MouthFeel/Drinkability: Medium bodied and smooth with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. This is a very very drinkable beer.
Overall/Comments: I must say I went in with high expectation and while I thought this was a very respectable offering I expected more. I would have liked to see a bit less roast and a bit more honey. Classifed as an American Double/Imperial Stout at 7%. Consumed 1-22-13.

The honey really comes on heavy at first here. It seems to tone down and a roasted, mildly sweet thing takes over. Don't get much chocolate on here really, but there is a cocoa tone mildly present. A decent beer; though not showing a whole lot of balance. Who cares though, right? We should all just be glad the world has not ended!

Paid the premium on this $4.50 for the single, at the House of 1,000 beers.
A - Nice 5 months old and no sediment! Head is a fairly sweet 1/3 inch of deep mocha greatness. Beer itself is rather thick with a deep level of blackness.
S - The honey adds another level of dry yet fairly sweet, underneath this is some mocha, chocolate malty goodness, and roast. Smells like a balanced RIS.
T - Pretty good the taste is chalky roasts, some chocolate malt, and a finish of dry faded honey. Hoppy bitter edge is kind of distracting and adds more of a dry feeling to the honey.
M - A touch lighter than typical RIS its medium bodied, fairly creamy yet kind of thin.
Overall not having a honey stout this one is fairly tasty. Nothing I am going to run out and get again (and at almost 5 bucks a pop I shall not) but worth trying once.

Thirsty Dog Brewing : Last Mayan Dog
Pours a sexy dark brown, with a creamy light tan topping. Lots of lacing, and overall looks the part of a stout. In the aroma, some roast, honey, coffee and vanilla. In the flavor, dark malts, tempered sweetness and a small cinnamon like spice. Coffee and honey come out a bit more in the aftertaste. Full bodied, creamy, very smooth feel. Overall this was quite nice. I could spend time drinking a few of these, but it appears this was a limited release.

How do I register?
All programs require pre-registration and pre-payment (if applicable). Under each listing on the website, you will find a link to a registration form. Please fill out this form. Your registration is not guaranteed at this time, but will be confirmed when you receive a phone call taking your payment information or confirming your scholarship for the experience. Payment must be made in full for your registration to be complete.
What ages can participate?
Youth programs are geared for participants of middle-school age (11-14 years old) or currently entering or in grades 6-8.
What is the refund policy?
No refunds will be issued unless Shedd Aquarium cancels the program. Shedd Aquarium reserves the right to cancel the event for any reason. If your event is cancelled, you will be informed via phone as soon as possible. In the event of a cancellation, you will be fully refunded within 30 days. Your refund method will be based on your original method of payment.
How does drop-off work in the morning/evening?
Drop-off will take place at Shedd for any of your youth experiences. It is your responsibility to bring your child to the aquarium for the start of the program. The exact drop-off location will be provided in your confirmation information that you will receive after you are officially registered for the experience. Please note that you will need to check-in with an aquarium staff member in person to drop-off your child. Find more information about how to get to Shedd Aquarium.
How does pick-up work in the afternoon/evening?
It is your responsibility to pick your child up at the end of the day. The exact pick-up location will be provided in your confirmation information that you will receive after you are officially registered for the experience. The aquarium does not offer extended care so please plan accordingly; your promptness is greatly appreciated.
What staff will be with my child during the day?
Education and/or other aquarium staff will be present for each program. We may also use aquarium volunteers to assist with the program. We carefully consider the needs of the learners when planning how many staff or volunteers will be with your youth during their Shedd experience.
What if my child has never been to a program like this before?
Prior participation in Shedd programs is not required. We welcome all participants with the same care, consideration, and enthusiasm. Parents/Guardians do not attend programs with their child. If there are things we can do to help make your child feel more comfortable please let us know ahead of time. We want all participants to have a fun learning experience.
What if the weather is bad?
These programs run rain or shine, and portions will take place outdoors. Participants should come dressed for the weather. If the weather conditions are not safe, we will make accommodations to supplement other activities.
Do I have to buy any special gear or equipment?
No, any specialized gear or equipment will be provided to use during the program (this does not include basic clothing such as shoes, jacket, hat, etc.)
What should my child bring each day?
In general, participants should dress for the weather. Bringing a small backpack may be useful to store clothing not being worn. A reusable water bottle is a good idea as well. Some programs may require participants to bring their own lunch (peanut free lunches are preferable). Specific details for each experience will be emailed prior to the start of each program.
What should my child leave at home?
Please leave electronics, jewelry, and expensive clothing at home. Some of the programs involve being active outside and these things might get lost, broken, or dirty.
What procedures are in place to ensure my child's safety?
Education and/or other aquarium staff will be present for each program. We may also use aquarium volunteers to assist with the program. We carefully consider the needs and safety of the learners when planning how many staff or volunteers will be with your youth during their Shedd experience. The aquarium also has security officers on-site and staff trained in first aid, CPR, and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). For off-site programs we bring a first aid kit as well as staff that have been trained in first aid and CPR.
What should my child wear?
Please dress your child for the weather. Off-site programs will involve significant time outdoors. On-site programs may also go outdoors for parts of the program. Dressing in season-appropriate layers is a good option. You may also consider sunscreen and bug spray depending on the season and program location.
Are scholarships available?
Most programs offer scholarship opportunities. They will require you to fill out a needs-based scholarship application located on the website within program listings. Submitting an application does not guarantee you will receive scholarship funds.
Will my child get to interact with animals or go behind the scenes at Shedd?
We strive to connect our participants to the animals at Shedd Aquarium. We carefully consider the use of animals, behind the scenes tour and other special experiences within Shedd experiences. When appropriate, we incorporate these activities for your child.

Wide receiver Davonte Neal from Scottsdale, Ariz., has signed his letter of intent with Notre Dame.
Neal, who ended a dramatic recruitment with his announcement on Tuesday, chose the Fighting Irish over Arkansas, Arizona and North Carolina.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly (not surprisingly) applauded Neal's decision.
"Deciding on a college is one of the toughest decisions a young player makes in his life, so we are very pleased with Davonte's decision to attend Notre Dame," Kelly said in a statement released by the school. "Davonte was an electric playmaker in high school and was capable of making the big play any time he had the ball in his hands. He excelled as a receiver, as a running back and as a returner for Coach (Charlie) Ragle at Chaparral High School. I imagine we'll use him in a similar fashion here."
Neal Officially Headed To Notre Dame

La Casa Blanca y La Familia López
The visit to La Casa Blanca was bien chivo although President Obama wasn't around to welcome me as I had hoped. I didn't tweet or blog until now because between waking at 4 a.m. for the White House tour and preparing for our trip to Miami, I'm just super cansada.
I wish I had a lot of photos to show you, but on White House tours, no cameras are allowed inside. And honestly, although it's fun to say, "I've been to the White House" – the section they allow you into is really more of a museum than actual living quarters for the family. (I didn't even so much as see "Bo" – the Obama family's dog!)
When you first walk in there are photos of the Obama family on the walls of the foyer. The very first photo prominently displayed, was President Obama with mariachi. I instinctively reached for my non-existent camera before remembering – no cameras allowed so I hadn't brought it. I did find the photo on the internet though so you can see.
(By the way, I found this photo on a website called Obama Looks Bored, which features photos of President Obama looking bored. Love it.)
There were a lot of fancy furnishings, three immense crystal chandeliers that weigh 1200 pounds each. Each chandelier takes 72 hours to clean. (And that is the extent of historical tour guide type data I retained.)
There are various rooms named for colors – The Blue Room, The Red Room (which looked hot pink to me for some reason – but I loved it), The Green Room, etc.
In the Green Room a painting caught my eye and I wanted to remember the artist so I could look it up later. Without a pen and paper I had to rely on my memory, which isn't so good. To remember things, I usually have to play word games with myself. So, to remember the artist, Jacob Lawrence, I said to myself, "Jacob Lawrence, Jacob Lawrence, Jacob Lawrence… how can I remember his name? … Oh! Jacob Have I Loved!"
Carlos immediately turned around, "Whose Jacob?"
"The artist of that painting," I said.
"No, the other Jacob you loved," he said narrowing his eyes.
He didn't believe me for several minutes that 'Jacob Have I Loved' is the name of a book.
(The painting turned out to be 'The Builders' by Jacob Lawrence, if you want to read more about it.)
Once we were outside, we were allowed to take photos, so I took a few with my cell phone camera.

I love it… y tus hijos bien guapetones igual ke el Presidente… no mas listate con el grande… o pronto te digo suegra jajajaj jk jk jkjk pero bonita aya… regressate pronto!
What a fun trip! I forgot "no cameras allowed" inside. I'm going to have to check out that website about Obama looking bored. Too funny!
What handsome sons!
Dale!!! Si tu hijo va de presidente, desde ya cuenta con mi voto. Sólo pido a cambio algun puesto de Embajadora (pero no en Medio Oriente, gracias)!!!
Qué bonito paseo! Nosotros pensamos hacerlo a finales de Mayo. Pero creo que tienes que reservar tus entradas como 6 meses de anticipación no? Si es así, que se conforme Obama de verme parada en la calle!!!!!
Seriously, no photos inside the White House…after all the taxes we pay! But I guess for security it makes sense.
I'm definitely voting for your lil guy! :)
I'm actually surprised you didn't interview the guy mowing the lawn. :)
Fun! Tus hijos son muy guapos. :-)
Wait, did you say "OUR" trip to Miami?? Does that mean Carlos is indeed going with you??! :-)
My uncle wrote a book called "the Night of the Realtor" which gave him his fifteen minutes of fame. It seems that doing research for the novel – which is about a realtor that sells the White House – he found that there is no deed for the whitehouse, and applied himself for one! Too funny! He got in the press for that scheme. (his name was Dave Jenneson BTW)
No cameras? That's crual!
I'd love to visit anyway. These walls must have heard all the secrets!
:) I always wondered how they manage to keep the privacy of the president and his family when they have so many tourist visiting each week. Now I know! BTW, how could President Obama be bored with mariachi playing their heart out? I say he was soaking it in!
I've been once only to DC, and that was for all of a few hours for an interview. Have always wanted to visit the monuments. Thanks for sharing your family's experience. It sounds like you enjoyed yourselves. Have always wondered about security on the grounds and inside. Is it like on TV with guys in black suits and ear-pieces standing all over the place?

I understand very well why St. Peter fell. Poor Peter, he was relying upon himself. Before ruling the Church that is filled with sinners, he had to experience for himself what a person is capable of without God's help.
- St. Therese of Lisieux
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
- John 10:16
They had come to hear Him, Jesus, and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all in the crowd were trying to touch Him, for power came out from Him and healed all of them.
Luke 6:18-19
In all things, the good and the bad, look to God. Trust in Him, no matter what.
If you direct your heart rightly, you will stretch out your hands toward God...You will forget
your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away.....
Job 11:13, 16
Worry sees the problem.....
Faith sees God handles the problem....
Very true Jordie. If only I could always remember...
Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
How good God is to have given wings to my soul and lifted it up!
- St. Therese of Lisieux
Hello David!
'It seems to me now that nothing could prevent me from flying away, for I no longer have any great desires except that of loving
Him to the point of dying of love'...... St. Therese of Lisieux
I understand very well why St. Peter fell. Poor Peter, he was relying upon himself. Before ruling the Church that is filled with sinners, he had to experience for himself what a person is capable of without God's help.
- St. Therese of Lisieux
You desire to nourish me with Your divine substance and yet I am a poor little thing who would return to nothingness if Your divine glance did not give me life from one moment to the next.
St. Therese of Lisieux
I've posted this song on several Inspiration topics. The line that moves me the most is 'God's beauty is in this baby, Jesus in the dying man'
Mother Teresa speaks at the end.
A Tribute to Mother Teresa - Angelina
Last night a friend of mine told me about a student at her school who had drowned. She said that they were still trying to find the body in the river. She also told me that they had lost another student that year who had hung himself and was found by his little brother.
I wanted to post something about the loss of a child but I don't have the words. I have over a hundred books about the lives of the saints, inspiration books....and I don't recall that any of them say anything specifically about the death of a child. The only thing that comes to mind is a father who had lost his daughter and he said " God takes children from their parents every day. Why would I presume that he would spare me that?" What can one say to a parent who has lost a child, something that wouldn't sound hollow or trite? It is such a horrific devastating loss that perhaps the best that we can do is not try to console with words, but rather weep with them and pray that God sustain them.
Mary Most Holy - St. Padre Pio
When I think of the innumerable benefits received from this dear Mother, I am ashamed of myself, for I have never fully appreciated her heart and her hand which have bestowed these benefits upon me with so much love. What troubles me most is that I have repaid the affectionate care of this Mother of ours by offending her.
How often have I confided to this Mother the painful anxieties that troubled my heart. And how often has she consoled me. But in what did my gratitude consist? In my greatest sufferings, it seems to me that I no longer have a mother on this earth, but a very compassionate one in heaven. But many times, when my heart was at peace, I have forgotten this entirely. I have even forgotten my duty of gratitude towards this blessed heavenly Mother. But I am greatly indebted to our Mother Mary for driving away temtations of the enemy. Will you, too, thank this good Mother?

To get up and running with Glimpse is pretty simple. Together we are going to have a look at getting this up and running for you.
NOTE: Glimpse docs are currently being improved. If you'd like to help out, just edit this page or contribute to our GitHub Wiki
Getting Glimpse up and running couldn't be easier:
The best way to download and install Glimpse is via NuGet. The quickest way to get up and running is by choosing from the below packages and installing them via Visual Studio or Command Line.
Want to download the latest source for Glimpse?Latest source on GitHub
Whether you use NuGet or manually install Glimpse, the DLL's Glimpse needs to run will be referenced by your project and added to your
bin folder. From here, for your first run, all you need is to enable Glimpse and start using it.
Glimpse has many different extensions and plugins. Together with the community, there are some truly amazing extensions and extras you can get your hands on.
Out of the box here is where you will probably want to get started:
Which web framework you using?
PM> Install-Package Glimpse.WebForms
PM> Install-Package Glimpse.MVC5
What about Data Access?
|Raw ADO
PM> Install-Package Glimpse.ADO
|Entity Framework
PM> Install-Package Glimpse.EF5
Note that if you are using a different version of MVC/EF, use that instead – e.g. MVC2, MVC3, MVC4, EF43, or EF6
...and many more can be found in the Glimpse Extension Gallery
Glimpse is designed to be secure by default. This means that unless you tell Glimpse otherwise, you can only access Glimpse from localhost.
Note, this means that you wont be able to access Glimpse remotely whilst policy is in place.
By installed Glimpse, this page is made available as an extensions your site. It becomes the point through which you can see how glimpse is setup and some helper buttons to work with the policies that are shipped out of the box.
By triggering the "Turn Glimpse On" button, the page will confirm that Glimpse is now listening to requests.
Once "Turned on" you will now see glimpse appear in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
From this point, you can mouse over the various sections or open Glimpse up fully by clicking on the Glimpse icon.
Once you've enabled Glimpse on the server and the client, the Glimpse Heads-Up Display appears in the lower right corner of your web application.
HUD is how Glimpse shows you the most important information, when you need it, without you needing to ask for it; all right in the bottom of your page.
It brings together information from both the client and server, to provide a complete picture of your request. This is something very few systems can provide, let alone in your browser.
From the HUD, you can dive down into another level of information by clicking on the "G" in the lower right corner. When the Main Panel opens you will be presented with a series of tabs which offer a range of insights into your application.
These tabs are easily selectable and your selected tab is remembered between redirects. Additional tabs will be added to your setup if and when you add additional packages
HUD updates its data as you move from page to page
Hover over any one of the sections for more details
Click on the "G" icon on the right to open the Main Panel
Select the various tabs you are interested in at any time
When Glimpse is installed via NuGet, any configuration details are setup by default. What it does for you is adds a custom section called
<glimpse> in your
web.config file.
Most of the time you wont have to make many chances here, but if you are interested in black listing or removing Tab or various Security policies the Glimpse configuration system makes this easy:

UT offers UT SELECT, a self-funded medical PPO plan, administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, a Division of Health Care Service Corporation, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
When you enroll in UT SELECT, you can receive care from any licensed doctor you choose; no referrals are required. If you use a network doctor, you will receive the highest level of benefits, pay less out-of-pocket, and will usually not have to file any claims. If you use an out-of-network doctor, you will still be covered, but your out-of-pocket costs for health care services will be substantially higher.
NETWORK - Network benefits are available to UT SELECT participants living in Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. who receive services from providers who have a network contract agreement with BCBSTX. Network benefits may also be available when services are rendered by providers outside of Texas if that provider has a network contract agreement with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan in the state where services were rendered. Network providers have agreed to charge only up to the BCBSTX allowed amount. You are responsible for applicable deductibles, copays and/or coinsurance.
UTSW Network- As an additional network option, the UTSW Network is a collaborative pilot program between The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and UT System OEB. If any In-Area UT SELECT member receives medical care from a UTSW physician or at a UTSW facility, the out-of-pocket cost will be greatly reduced or eliminated. Benefits include $10 primary care and $10 specialist copayment, no out-of-pocket cost for inpatient or outpatient care, no deductible, and no coinsurance.
Physician fees for services performed at affiliated hospitals are included in this benefit. However, the benefit does not include facility charges for other hospitals (e.g. Children's Medical Center, VA North Texas Health Care System, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Baylor, and Texas Health Resources) even when a UTSW physician refers you to a non-UTSW facility. For Dallas and surrounding counties, UTSW has a clinically affiliated physician program (UTSCAP) in which UTSW selectively partners with quality internal medicine and family practice community physicians who are included in the UTSW Network. More information is available at www.bcbstx.com/ut/important.html or by contacting BCBSTX Customer Service.
OUT-OF-NETWORK – Out-of-network benefits are available to UT SELECT participants living in Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. who receive services from providers who do not have a network contract agreement with BCBSTX. When receiving services from out-of-network providers, you will be responsible for applicable deductibles, copays and/or coinsurance, as well as any amounts exceeding the BCBSTX allowed amount.
OUT-OF-AREA - Out–of-Area benefits apply only to those UT SELECT participants whose residence of record is outside of Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C.
Preventive care services are offered at no out-of-pocket cost. Eligible services are outlined in the federal regulations based on U.S. Preventive Service Task Force Recommendations.
To view a list of preventive care benefits offered through the UT SELECT Medical plan as well as information on preventive care benefits as required by the Affordable Care Act (healthcare reform), go to www.healthcare.gov. Please be aware that you may incur some cost if the preventive service is not the primary purpose of the visit or if your doctor bills for services that are not preventive.
In most cases, an active employee or dependent of an active employee enrolled in UT SELECT should enroll in Medicare Part A and decline Parts B and D once eligible, typically at age 65. Once you retire, you and your Medicare-eligible dependent(s) should then enroll in Part B without penalty and continue to waive Part D. In most instances, if you are eligible for Medicare and are working at UT in a benefits-eligible position for at least 20 hours per week, your UT medical plan will be primary for you and your covered dependent, regardless of age, and Medicare will be secondary. Medicare may be primary for some Medicare-eligible active employees with certain medical conditions such as end stage renal disease (ESRD). Consult with your local Social Security Administration office to learn what illnesses qualify for Medicare coverage prior to turning age 65.
Your UT SELECT Medical ID card features the Blue Cross and Blue Shield symbols and the PPO in a suitcase logo telling providers that you are part of the BlueCard program. This means you and your covered dependents have access to Blue Cross and Blue Shield network providers throughout the United States and around the world. To receive the network (highest) level of benefits when you need to seek care, please call 1-800-810-BLUE (2583) printed on your Medical ID card.
If you or a covered dependent are being treated for certain chronic or ongoing medical conditions at the time you enroll in UT SELECT, and your doctor is not in the UT SELECT PPO network, ongoing care with your current doctor for up to three months may be requested.
Transitional benefits are subject to approval. To request transitional benefits, complete a "Transitional Benefits Form"available from your institution Benefits Office or online at www.bcbstx.com/ut.

After one of the longer winters in recent memory, the city of Milwaukee is planning to engage in a new kind of rebirth. As the ice melts away, a number of parcels of city-owned land that have long lain vacant and unused will be coming back to life, set to become urban farms and orchards yielding healthy food along with new opportunities for employment and business entrepreneurship.
It's all part of Mayor Tom Barrett's HOME GR/OWN program, a Bloomberg Mayors Challenge finalist whose mission, beyond increasing access to fruits and vegetables, is to turn the city's growing liability of vacant, foreclosed land into an asset: space for new economic activity that helps to stabilize distressed neighborhoods. We recently had a chance to talk with HOME GR/OWN's program manager, Tim McCollow, about the program's launch now that spring appears to finally be on its way.
Not so many years ago, it would have been unheard of for anyone in government to have Gary Vansuch's title. He's the director of process improvement for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and a symbol of the fact that change can be a very good thing.
Vansuch is charged with introducing continuous-improvement tools and techniques at CDOT. In the process, he's also overseeing a change in the department's culture.
Implementation plans for government programs are as diverse as the constituents that they are meant to serve. What led to extraordinary results and outcomes in one city or state may cause the program to fall flat on its face in another jurisdiction. But while every program needs to be tailored for its particular setting, there are some key lessons, gleaned from the experiences of previous efforts, that can increase the chances of success and help to deliver more public value.
This list of 10 questions can be used to chart a path for a new initiative, identify how a faltering program can get back on track, or look back and see why a program hit the mark or failed short of the finish line.
In 2007, when Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley set a goal of a 10 percent reduction in the state's high infant-mortality rate by 2012, he knew Maryland had a problem. What he may not have known was that the solution would help pay for itself.
Maryland achieved its goal three years ahead of schedule, reducing the statewide infant-mortality rate from 8 per 1,000 live births to 7.2. But although the overall rate fell, it was still above the national average and infant mortality among African-Americans remained alarmingly high, so O'Malley set another goal: a 10 percent reduction in Maryland's African-American infant-mortality rate by 2017.
Governments have more responsibilities than ever, and more areas of concern to dilute and distract public managers' time and attention. The onslaught of responsibilities has outpaced changes in the available processes as public officials face hurdles in hiring, procurement and partnering that increase the time and effort necessary to produce positive change.
In response, many public officials, with the support of civic groups, are looking to new models for delivering results more efficiently.

This model can be seen in economic development corporations, convention and visitor bureaus, and more. It can also work for the management of other areas of interest, such as public spaces.
