Meagan Flynn/Beyond the New Yorker
For every story he writes, Mike Sager, writer-at-large for Esquire, finds a way to love his subjects. From drug addicts to porn stars,military vets to once-great athletes, Sager has let them all shape him into the journalist he is today. Here, Sager talks about what makes a solid longform piece and reveals some of his secrets to the craft. In addition: a close look into the making of his 1992 Rolling Stone piece "Revenge of the Doughnut Boys," which is about teenage car hijackers in Newark, N.J. It is also the title piece in his Los Angeles Times Best-Seller, one of Sager's four collections of riveting longform journalism. Through it all, it comes down to one thing, he says: "Getting shit right."
Meagan Flynn: After working for the Washington Post, what made you want to get into this longer, more in-depth writing?
Mike Sager: I came into journalism because it seemed like a great way to practice my writing skills. [During college], I worked for the paper and the literary magazine, but I still decided I was gonna go to law school because I didn't know how I was going to become a writer. That lasted three weeks. Eventually, I got a job as a copy boy at the Post. I worked nights until 3 a.m., and during the day I tried to write stories. Eventually I broke a big one, and then my boss, Bob Woodward of Watergate fame, gave me a promotion and made me a real reporter. I learned all the basics—how to do research, how to talk to people—at the Post. But what I really wanted to do was be a fine writer. So I left because I wanted to write different things. I was young when I started there, and they always thought I was young. I couldn't grow up there.
First, I went around the world. I did a story for Rolling Stone in Thailand. I did another story for Playboy about beach volleyball players. That's how I [got started] in magazine writing.
MF: When you sit down to begin a longform story after all the reporting is done, where do you start?
MS: I do a lot of taping with a digital tape voice recorder. I tape everything then I transcribe everything. By the time I finish that, I kind of know what the story is. After I finish interviewing, I don't necessarily know the story, but after I go through all my notes, the story becomes clear in my mind. I try to write in scenes, and I try to find a series of scenes that will symbolize the message I'm trying to get through. You start out doing small stories. At the newspaper, you're told, "It's a hot day—go cover the air conditioning repair guy in 104 degree heat." You start small and then move up to bigger subjects.
It's like playing an instrument. You learn to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on the piano, and then eventually you can play jazz. You put all those millions of little skills together. You learn the right hand, then you learn the left hand, then you learn chords. An there's also a magical element. You can learn all the techniques, do all your research, fill up what I call a "bowl of details"—and then you make a collage, you put all the little pieces together. You've got this little magic. That's what separates the Tom Junods and the Chris Jones from the whomevers. The great ones have magic.

Thanks to all who participated!
I am getting a bit more 'caught up' at my place of employment, so...that bodes well for G-ology... hopefully more progress will be made, not only on reviews, but also other features... 2013 is slated to be quite Gingery, according to the Mayans...or was it the Incas? I always get those two mixed up... kinda like the Shakers and the Quakers...
Anyway - hope y'all have a great week ahead, and...

...GingerPoll Time, y'all!!!!
Hu is in the house, and is ACTIVELY working on the 'Roberta' review this weekend! ...still a bit to do, but...it's getting there!
With that, after 'review' of the movie, I got to thinking...of course as far as HueyReviews go, there's the ultimate 'Rankings Board' for the films...and, since the 'level' of GandF in Roberta is somewhat comprable to 'Rio', save for a few more dance routines, I got to thinking... which is the more 'Gingery' character, Honey Hale or Tanka Scharwenka? Well, of course, I couldn't choose between these two, as I would gladly tote a fully loaded steamer trunk across Grand Central Station for either of them... although Ms. Hale had a lot more 'trouble' with those trunks, if memory serves... :-]
Anyway, since this is a new year (BTW, Happy Twenty-Thirteen, y'all!!!), what better way to kick it off than with a GingerPoll - which has been awhile since we've done one, so...
The Question at hand: Which character is more 'Gingery'...
Yeah, it's pretty tough, but... well, y'all can be pretty opinionated at times, so...have at it!!! The poll is at the top of the blog for your use!!!
Be sure to comment as to your reasoning behind your vote...we stress accountability here at G-ology!!! ...or at least some modicum of protocol... however you go about THAT...
Y'all keep it Gingery, now...y'hear?
|Gingerology Meter...
Awards...Thanks, Y'all!!!
It is my hope that I can continue to make 'G-ology' interesting and informative regarding the 'Beautiful Science' of VKM, which is SUCH a great topic!!! ...And remember, your comments are what make Gingerology click - so keep cranking them out!
Thanks again, JW

Unforgiving Servant
Objectives: The students will be able to
- retell the story The Unforgiving Servant
- explain why God forgives us when we are truly sorry
- explain why we are to forgive others over and over again
- describe how we can be kind and forgiving to others
Prayer, Take Home Sheet, and vocabulary from last week's lesson and also Objects Used as Mass cards (show picture cards that we have done thus far)
Vocabulary Words: (Write the bold words on the board and discuss with class)
debt- something that is owed
servant- somebody who serves another
parable- a story with a hidden meaning
mercy- forgiveness
Read story: "The Unforgiving Servant" and ask questions from Take Home Sheet that will be sent home today.
One day Peter came and asked Jesus, "Lord, how often should I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Should I forgive him seven times?"
Jesus said to Peter: Not seven times, but 70 times seven times.
So then Jesus told him a parable of the Unforgiving Servant.
A king decided to settle accounts with his servants. One servant owed him a large sum, but could not pay it. Since the servant could not pay the debt, the king commanded that the servant's land and property be sold and that he and his family be sold as slaves in order to settle the debt.
The servant fell down and worshipped the king, and begged him to have patience with him, promising to pay it all.
The king was moved with compassion and released him from bondage and forgave the entire debt.
That day, the servant went out and found another fellow servant who owed him money. He grabbed the servant by the throat and told him that he must pay what he owed.
The fellow servant fell down and begged the man to have patience with him, and he would pay what he owed. But instead of showing him mercy, he had the fellow servant thrown into prison.
When the other servants saw how their fellow servant had been treated they were very upset, and they went to the king and told him everything that the unforgiving servant had done.
The king then summoned the unforgiving servant and said to him:
You wicked servant, I forgave you the all the debt you owed because you pleaded with me to do so. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?
The king became very angry with the wicked servant. He had the unforgiving servant arrested, thrown into prison and tortured until the original debt was repaid.
Then Jesus said:
Your heavenly Father will treat you the same way if you do not forgive your brother from your hearts.

The Really Big Book of Bible Games by Gospel Light
Who's Forgiven (page 66)- When God forgives the wrong things we've done, it makes us want to forgive others too. A long time ago, Jesus told a story about a king and a servant who owed the king lots of money. We're going to play a game that reminds us of what the king did.
This game is free, however it is only to be used for classroom and personal use.

The players must say what they should do to correct their mistake and/or what consequences should happen to them so they will learn to take responsibility of their actions. Players must also answer questions about the story "The Unforgiving Servant" to receive a token. The player who reaches FINISH and has the most tokens wins the game.
Introduce game: The core lesson for the Unforgiving Servant is the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The Golden Rule (file folder game)- This game helps promote why someone would use proper manners and etiquette in our daily lives.

Using a Rubric for Grading in a Turnitin Assignment
If you would like to use a rubric for grading in SpeedGrader on a Turnitin assignment, you will first have to create/add the rubric to the assignment before enabling Turnitin. If you have already enabled Turnitin on an assignment, you can temporarily remove Turnitin and follow these steps.
Also, note that for students to see the rubric that you have attached, they will have to go to their Grades Details page and then click the "Show Rubric" button in the upper right-hand corner. If you would like for students to also be able to view a rubric directly on the assignment, you would have to create a rubric in the Turnitin settings as well.
When creating a new assignment:
In the Course Navigation, click on the Assignments tab.
Click the + Assignment button.
Add in any additional settings such as the point value and due dates. For now, keep the Submission Type as No Submission.
Click Save or Save & Publish.
On the Assignment page, click the + Rubric button to add a rubric.
NOTE: Make sure to check the option for "Use this rubric for assignment grading" if you would like to use this rubric to grade in SpeedGrader.
You can then create a new rubric or use the "Find a rubric" option to find a rubric you have already created. Please see this guide for reference: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-2870
Once the rubric has been added, you can then click Edit to enable Turnitin on the assignment.
Change the Submission Type drop-down to External Tool to enable Turnitin. Please see this guide for reference on how to enable the Turnitin External Tool: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-1799
If you have already enabled Turnitin on an assignment and would like to add a rubric or change/edit a rubric that was already on the assignment, you can still do so.
- You will have to Edit the assignment, and temporarily change the Submission Type from External Tool to a different submission type (the easiest option would be to select No Submission or On Paper).
- Then click Save.
- You can then access the Rubric on the assignment page and make your changes.
- Once you are done, you can then click Edit on the assignment and then change the Submission Type back to External Tool so that you can re-enable Turnitin.
- Then click Save.
If students have already submitted to the assignment, you can still make these changes. If you temporarily make these changes to add the rubric, once the External Tool has been re-added to the assignment, the Turnitin LTI will re-link any submissions students had already submitted to the assignment. Students' submissions, scores, or grades will not be lost.

Mr Bradshaw pointed out that food production did just as much damage as private transport and housing.
He spoke out as a new government website advised shoppers to help the planet by avoiding meat, cheese and even British veg grown out of season.
The www.direct.gov.uk/greenerfood website makes clear that eating beef, lamb, chicken and dairy products contributes to global warming because of the energy and land needed to rear animals. Sheep and cows also emit harmful methane gas.
Mr Bradshaw told a meeting of food experts that the public would not currently tolerate a "nanny state" approach to what they ate. But he warned: "If the impacts of climate change are as bad as predicted, we may need to go back to rationing."
The website says that meat and cheese are among the worst for warming the planet, "because of the way they are produced, packaged, transported or cooked". Although transport and housing get all the blame for heating up the planet, food production and preparation do just as much damage, accounting for 25 per cent of global warming. Flying accounts for just two per cent.
Mr Bradshaw said the Government was considering a labelling scheme for all food products, based on the "farm to fork" impact each item has on the environment.
Mr Bradshaw also warned that green groups should not use "food miles" — the distance a product has travelled to get from farm to plate — to avoid products flown in from the world's poorest countries. He hit out at last week's move by the Soil Association to bar all air-freighted foods from getting its organic certificates.
"The public want to do their bit to help the environment but there are so many confused and confusing messages, particularly on the issue of food miles," he said.
"Flying in food from abroad accounts for a tiny proportion of the overall carbon emissions of the food industry, around three per cent. But around 13 per cent of emissions come from motorists travelling to and from the shops to buy food.Reuse content

Abu Yahya al-Libi was considered a media-savvy, charismatic leader with religious credentials who escaped from an American prison in Afghanistan and was helping preside over the transformation of al-Qaida from a close-knit group into an ideological movement aimed at winning converts - and potential attackers - around the world. White House spokesman Jay Carney called al-Libi's death a "major blow" to the terror network. Carney described al-Libi as an operational leader and a "general manager" of al-Qaida. He said al-Libi had a range of experience that will be hard for al-Qaida to replicate and brings the terror network closer to its ultimate demise than ever before. Al-Libi was the latest in the dozen-plus senior commanders removed in the clandestine U.S. war against al-Qaida since Navy SEALs killed bin Laden. A hero in militant circles for his 2005 escape from an American military prison in Afghanistan, al-Libi was elevated to al-Qaida's No. 2 spot when Ayman al-Zawahri rose to replace bin Laden shortly after the terror leader was killed on May 2, 2011. Carney would not confirm how he was killed, but an American official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said it was in a drone strike Monday morning. Pakistani officials had previously said that eight militants died in a drone strike in the Pakistani village of Khassu Khel in the North Waziristan tribal area. Militants and residents in the area told Pakistani agents that al-Libi was in the house when it was hit, Pakistani intelligence officials said. They said the mud and brick house was destroyed in the attack. A vehicle used by al-Libi was destroyed during the strike, said one of the officials. A local Taliban chief said earlier Monday that al-Libi was not present at the house, though his guard and driver were killed in the attack.

Move On. Nothing To See.Mady Bay -
April 15, 2005
"Sir? Sir, can you hear me?"
The feminine voice seemed to float above him; around him. Carlos moaned as the woman's fingers touched a sore spot on his head.
"Mmm..." Carlos replied.
"That's it, wake up, now," she coaxed. "Open your eyes."
Carlos obeyed, sleepily. "Tryin'," he said.
"Good," the woman responded happily.
But Carlos didn't understand her happiness. He hadn't gotten them opened yet. Or had he? Panic was starting to set in.
"My eyes. Why can't I see?"
His hands were grabbed before he could bring them to his face.
"Calm down, sir," the woman soothed. "You've been in an accident. You've hit your head. You need to calm down."
"I can't see!"
"I know," she said, still in a calm, soothing voice. "I understand you're scared, sir, but we need you to stay calm, all right?"
Carlos felt her fingers gently stroke his as she released the grip on his hands. Her soothing movements moved to his forearms. A gentle caress to his forehead.
"That's it," she murmured.
"Where am I?" he asked. "What happened?"
"You're in a hospital, sir," she replied. "You've been in a car accident."
"Excuse me?"
"My name. You keep calling me 'sir'. My name is Carlos," he told her.
"Okay, Carlos, good to meet you. I'm Doctor Richards. Can you give me some more information? Your last name, date of birth..."
"Carlos Sandoval. January ninth, nineteen seventy."
"Carlos, do you have any medical history? Allergies, diabetes, high blood pressure...?"
"Carlos, what's your address?"
"Fifty-two Maple Drive, Dallas." He blinked his eyes a few times. "My eyes hurt."
"You haven't been blinking," Dr. Richards replied. "Hang on." After a minute or two she returned. "I've got some drops for your eyes that should make them feel better."
He blinked rapidly, then, as the cool drops entered his eyes.
"A little. Why can't I see? How long have I been here? My friends?"
"You've received a head injury that has most likely put pressure and swelling on your optic nerve. Once the swelling goes down, your sight should return. You've been here for several hours now, maybe about six. As for your friends... up until five minutes ago, we didn't know your name, Carlos."
"My wallet. ID."
"We couldn't find any ID on you, I'm sorry. We'll double check with the police officer that came in with you. Carlos, what's the last thing you remember?"
Carlos thought for a moment. "Meeting Trent at the dojo. Trent! Was he with me! Is he okay?"
"Ssh... easy, Carlos," Dr. Richards soothed, rubbing his arm again. "You were alone in the car. No one else was hurt. Do you know your friend Trent's phone number? We could call him for you. Or do you have family?"
"Trent Malloy is my family. My best friend," Carlos replied. He gave her the number to Trent's cell phone.
"We'll try to get hold of him for you, Carlos," Dr. Richards assured him. "I'm going to call in the neurologist to go over your test results with me. In the meantime, I'm going to give you a little something to help you rest."
Carlos was unprepared for the sharp pin prick to his arm and let out a little yelp. Soon any thought of the pain disappeared, and his dark vision changed to colored dreams.
"Where do you suppose he is?" Kim asked. "It's not like Carlos not to call."
"When I saw him at the dojo this morning, he seemed really excited about tonight," Trent said.
"He was on his way out to Lila's."
"Lila's?" Butch asked.
"A diner just outside the city limits," Trent replied.
"I've heard of it," Butch said, adding, "Not the best place for him to be alone, though."
"We've been keeping tabs on one of the waitresses there," Kim put in. "One of our cases."
Trent looked at his watch again. "He said he'd be here by four. Time enough to get home and shower and change if needed.
"You don't think anything's happened to him, do you?" Kim asked, worry in her voice.
"At Lila's?" Butch asked, shaking his head. "Anything is possible with Carlos, Darlin'."
"Nah. He's been working this case, this tail, for almost two weeks now. Just a matter of making sure the waitress actually goes to work as she says, with no side trips. Our client is her husband, who thinks she's cheating on him."
"Carlos actually goin' into the place?" Butch asked. "It's a "good ol' boy" type place. Not too friendly to minorities, if you get my meanin'."
"As far as I know, he just goes to the parking lot. He uses the camera's zoom lens to check on the interior activities," Trent replied. "No signs of hanky panky yet."
"Yet," Kim put in, rolling her eyes. "Probably never. That woman is a saint."
"We'll give him another fifteen or so, then I'll call him again. We might as well head on downstairs," Trent announced.
"Carlos? Carlos, time to wake up," Dr. Richards announced.
"Hmm..." Carlos murmured, lolling his head to the side. If anything, he felt even dizzier than before. "Feel dizzy," he voiced.
"I know, it's a result of the medication we're giving you."
"We're still trying to contact him," she replied. "Do you remember what happened, yet? What did you do after you left Trent?"
Carlos tried to think, squeezed his eyes tight. Wished he could put a face to the doctor's voice.
"I went to work. Drove to Lila's."
"You work there?"
"No. I'm a P.I. I followed somebody there. Watched to make sure she wasn't fooling around," he explained.
"Sounds exciting," Dr. Richards drolled. "How are your eyes feeling? Need some more drops?"
She placed the soothing liquid into his eyes.
"You couldn't get hold of Trent?" Carlos asked.
He was feeling scared and alone, and it came out in his voice. Dr. Richards took his hand into hers and rubbed the back of it.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon, Carlos. Why don't you rest now," she soothed.
He nodded his head and closed his eyes.
"We've talked to everyone here. No one's seen Carlos," Trent reported.
"Or the Durango," Kim added, leaning over to speak into Trent's cell phone.
"I've checked his apartment, the dojo, and heck, even your place, Trent," Butch responded. "It's like he's vanished."
"Time to check the hospitals?" Trent suggested.
"I, uh, I already did," Kim said. "Before we left Uppercuts."
"Time to call the police, then," Trent decided.
"Carlos? Carlos, I need you to listen to me."
"Dr. Richards?"
"That's right, Carlos," she replied. "Listen to me, now. Can you hear me?"
"There's been a misunderstanding. We had to check you out. Make sure you weren't interfering."
"What? I don't understand." Carlos was truly confused. And his blindness was now even scarier to him. "What's going on?"
"If you stay exactly where you are, your friend Trent will find you in a little bit," she told him.
He heard her footsteps go away from him.
"Dr. Richards? Hey! Hey, what about my eyes? You can't just leave me here! Somebody?" he called out, panic building even further.
He pulled the blanket down off his body. Checking himself over, he found himself to be wearing just his boxers.
"Is anybody there!" he shouted.
He swung his legs over the side of the bed. His feet touched the floor sooner than he had thought. The bed did not seem to be as high as hospital beds he'd occupied in the past. Carlos stood, swayed a bit, as his head seemed to swell and twist inside for a few seconds, and then managed a few tentative steps, hands flung out in front of him.
"Come on! You can't just leave me! What's going on!" he shouted. "Shit!" he cursed as he stepped on something sharp.
He bent down to feel around his foot, finding the object, feeling the shape of the syringe. He took a few more steps and bumped into something.
Reaching down and forward, his hands felt around the edge of what felt like a wooden crate.
He realized that he wasn't in any kind of hospital at all. Dr. Richards, or whoever she was, had set him up. She checked him out, she'd said. He tried to recall his conversations with the woman. She had only asked him basic questions - name, address... He'd been kidnapped. And blinded. He reached up and touched his eyes. They still stung, and he still couldn't see. He hoped fervently that whatever the woman had done to him, it was reversible.
"Hey!" he shouted out again, taking another tentative step in what he hoped was the right direction.
Trent flipped open his cell phone as it rang. He looked at the number on the screen.
"It's Carlos," he told Kim and Butch. "Carlos, where the hell are you?" he spoke into the phone when he pushed the talk button.
"Mr. Malloy?" A female voice.
"Where's Carlos?"
"Mr. Malloy, please listen carefully," a woman spoke.
Trent was not happy, but said, "I'm listening."
Butch and Kim saw the tension in Trent's posture. They knew something was terribly wrong.
"You need to pick up your friend, Carlos. He's in the old shoe factory on Fairfield Road," she told him and ended the call.
"Let's go," Trent told them as he turned off his phone and met their eyes.
Butch grabbed his arm as he started walking toward his car. "Wait up, boy! What's going on? Where are we going?"
"Some woman just told me to pick up Carlos at the old shoe factory on Fairfield Road," Trent replied. "Then she hung up."
"There's no answer, now," Kim spoke up, holding up her own cell phone.
"Whoever she was, she's not answering Carlos's phone."
"Like I said," Trent said, removing his arm from Butch's grasp, "Let's go."
Carlos gave up counting the number of times he'd stumbled or fallen. He could only guess at how many cuts and bruises covered his unprotected body. Feeling the wall next to him with his right hand, his left out in front of him, he inched slowly forward.
He'd already figured he was in some sort of warehouse. His earlier shouts had echoed off the concrete and metal walls. He'd found one stairway leading upward, so he believed he was on the first, or main, floor. He also thought he'd have found an exterior door by now. Unfortunately, the only ones he'd found were large, sliding doors, and they were locked tight.
"There's gotta be a way out of here," Carlos practically wept. Dr. Ri- she - got out. Damn!" he swore, bringing his right fingers to his mouth, soothing a cut they'd received from a nail in the wall.
Suddenly he heard pounding, as if someone were trying to break in.
"If you stay exactly where you are, your friend Trent will find you in a little bit," the woman's voice repeated in his head.
"Trent? Trent!" Carlos shouted, moving toward the sound. He heard his name being shouted. "Trent!" he called. "In here!"
"I heard him!" Trent shouted, continuing to kick at the door. "Carlos!"
"Carlos!" Kim shouted along with him.
Finally, the wooden door gave way and the three friends entered the warehouse.
"Carlos?" Butch called, looking around.
"Over here!" Carlos called back, dropping to his knees, unable to go further, the stress of his situation taking its toll once again as it mixed with the relief of being found by his friends. "Over here."
"There!" Trent shouted, pointing to their left and running toward his best friend, dodging debris along the way. "Carlos," he whispered as he dropped to the floor next to him, taking in the sight of his battered partner.
"What happened? Are you okay?" He put his hand to Carlos's cheek.
Carlos reached up and clasped Trent's hand, held it tight. "I can't see," he told him. "Trent, I can't see!"
Butch and Kim, having heard Carlos's words, having seen his battered body, stood silently, unsure of what to say. Trent looked at them, helplessly.
Butch took off his jacket and placed it around Carlos's trembling shoulders.
"Come on," Trent finally said, rising, and bringing Carlos up with him, steadying him. "The car's outside. Let's get you out of here."
Butch moved in closer, so that he and Trent flanked Carlos, and the two men guided him out of the warehouse, with Kim running ahead to unlock the car.
Butch glanced into the rearview mirror, his anger building as he watched and listened to Carlos tell them what had happened, what he heard and remembered, anyway, Trent's protective arms holding him.
"I only heard a woman. She called herself Dr. Richards," Carlos said. "She told me I'd been in an accident. Then, later, that it was all a misunderstanding. That they had to make sure I wasn't interfering in something. What the hell did she want? She blinded me!"
Trent grabbed Carlos's hands as he moved them toward his face, wanting to rub his stinging, unseeing eyes.
"Leave them," he told Carlos. "What little I've seen of them, they're red from you rubbing at them already."
"Hurts to keep them open. She put drops in them. Maybe..."
"We're almost to the hospital, Carlos," Kim spoke up from the front seat. "I'm sure the doctors there will be able to help you," she added.
Trent met her hopeful gaze with one of his own. "Just relax, Carlos," he said, giving Carlos's shoulder a gentle squeeze.
When they'd finally arrived at the hospital, Butch and Trent led Carlos in to the Emergency Department. He was immediately brought into an exam room. At Carlos's insistence, Trent stayed with him.
A nurse arrived shortly after, began taking his vital signs and asking him about his medical history. They told her the short version of his abduction and subsequent treatment and release. A doctor arrived a few minutes later and began his examination, starting with Carlos's eyes.
"How long have these contacts been in?" he asked.
"Contacts?" Carlos and Trent questioned in unison. Beyond the confusion, there was hope in their minds now. "I don't wear contacts," Carlos told the doctor.
The doctor consulted with the nurse and she came back with an eye wash kit. Then she lowered the lights.
"I'm just going to put some drops into your eyes, first, Mr. Sandoval," he warned Carlos, then did as he said.
Carlos blinked several times as the cool liquid soothed some of the sting.
"Now just keep still," the doctor told him and gently held Carlos's left eye open with one hand while he removed a dark, opaque contact lens from it with the other.
Carlos immediately cried out and slammed his eyes shut tight as the light, even dimmed as it was, stabbed its way painfully through his head.
After a moment, the doctor said, "Now for the other one," and repeated the procedure, with similar results, on Carlos's right eye.
He followed up by administering more drops to Carlos's eyes, letting him lie quietly and adjust slowly to the light in the room.
"Keep them closed for a bit, until you get used to the light some more," he told his patient.
"I'm not blind. I'm not blind. I'm not blind," Carlos whispered over and over as he squeezed Trent's hand in his.
The doctor asked the nurse to turn off the lights in the room. After she had done so, he returned to Carlos.
"We've darkened the room, Mr. Sandoval. I need you to open your eyes now, so I can see if there's any damage," he said.
Blinking rapidly, tentatively, Carlos complied.
"Can you see?" Trent asked.
"Everything's dark again. And blurry," Carlos replied. "They sting."
The doctor examined Carlos's eyes more closely.
"Looks like the corneas are scratched," he began. "From the contacts being in for so long."
"Will they be okay?" Carlos asked.
"With time and rest, I think so," the doctor replied. "But I'm going to have an ophthalmologist come take a look, to be sure."
Carlos nodded.
"In the meantime, let's get you cleaned and bandaged. That's going to include your eyes, Mr. Sandoval. We need to keep them clean and protected."
"I'll tell Butch and Kim the news," Trent said. "I'll be right back, Carlos," he added, gently patting Carlos's shoulder.
About two hours later, Carlos was abed in a room upstairs at the hospital.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Ranger Cordell Walker asked him.
"Being with Trent at the dojo."
"So you don't remember going to Lila's?" Trent asked.
Carlos shook his head. "But that's gotta be the key. Someone there," he said. "I've been going there for two weeks, tailing Karen Millwyn. Someone obviously thought I was tailing someone else. Did you find the Durango? My camera was there, with a couple of rolls of film."
"The Durango, your cell phone and empty camera were behind the shoe warehouse," Walker replied. "Forensics went over it and the room with the bed you'd been held in, and came up empty. They're pros, whoever they are."
"I don't get it," Trent put in.
"Well, eventually we're going to figure this thing out," Walker told both men. "In the meantime, I think Carlos here needs to get his rest."
"Thanks, Walker," Carlos replied, and held out his hand.
Walker took it and gave it a shake. "I'll let you boys know if I come up with anything."
The ophthalmologist showed up and examined Carlos's eyes. As the Emergency Department doctor had said, the corneas were scratched, but would heal, with care, in a few days. Carlos was given antibiotic and saline drops to use and told to take it easy. His other injuries, mainly minor cuts and bruises from his blind trip through the warehouse were taken care of as well.
That evening, when he was being discharged, Trent brought Carlos to the cashier's office to take care of the hospital bill.
"It's already been paid," the woman told him.
"Excuse me?" Carlos asked.
"It's already been paid," she repeated. "A woman came by about an hour ago and paid cash."
"Are you sure?" Trent asked.
"I was here. And let me tell you, when someone pays fifteen hundred cash, you remember it," she replied matter-of-factly.
"I just don't get it," Carlos muttered, agitated. "Who the hell would do this? And why?"
"Carlos, calm down," Trent responded.
"Calm down!" Carlos shot back, rising to his feet only to take two steps and bump into the coffee table in his living room. "Shit!"
Trent immediately went to Carlos's side ready to guide him back to the chair.
But Carlos shoved Trent away, continuing, "She fucking blinded me, Trent! I might have permanent damage! I have a right to know who and why!"
"And we're going to get the answers, Carlos," Trent replied. "Walker's getting the tape from the hospital. Trivette's been out to Lila's interviewing people there, starting their own surveillance..."
Carlos continued to pace, even if it was only two or three feet in each direction.
"They've got to be good guys," Trent mused, stopping Carlos's pacing.
"How can you say that?"
"She called me," Trent began. "She paid your hospital bill. Bad guys would have just left you in the warehouse. Dead."
The anger left Carlos, leaving him confused and tired. He wanted to slump down into the chair again. Trent sensed the weariness in his friend and guided him to the chair. When Carlos was seated, Trent knelt on the floor and put his hand on Carlos's knee.
"We'll figure this out, Carlos," he said. "Maybe its some government organization or something. Black Ops stuff, huh? Won't be the first time we got mixed up in somebody else's business; almost messed up a police case without knowing it."
"Yeah, but at least they had the courtesy of letting us know who they were and what they were doing," Carlos retorted.
"Maybe this is one of those things that maybe we're better off not knowing?" Trent suggested.
After a moment, Carlos let out a sigh. "I think I just want to go to bed, now, Trent."
"Sure, Carlos. Can you make it?"
"Yeah, but I think I need some of those drops first, my eyes are killing me."
"I'll get them and meet you there," Trent offered.
"Thanks, Trent."
Trent watched as his friend felt his way down the hallway, hands bumping against the walls, searching for the doorway to the bedroom. He didn't have any more clues to this mystery than Carlos did, but he was just as outraged at the treatment Carlos had been given at his kidnapper's hands. And despite the ophthalmologist's assurances that Carlos's eyes should heal without any lasting effects, seeing his best friend, bandaged and blind, still scared him.
"Yo, Trent, you coming?" Carlos called.
"Yeah, almost there," he called back, heading down the hall, medications in hand.
Several hours later, Trent woke from his place on the couch to the sound of Carlos's shouts.
"Trent! No!"
Trent ran into Carlos's bedroom, finding Carlos writhing under the blankets, calling out to him, hands trying to remove the bandages covering his eyes.
"Carlos, no," he called, grabbing Carlos's hands and holding them down.
"Wake up now, Carlos. Wake up," he coaxed his friend. "Come on."
"Trent? Trent, I can't see," Carlos cried gently.
"Yes, you can," Trent assured him. "You just have the bandages on. Your eyes will be fine."
"I couldn't find you," Carlos continued. "I was looking for you, but it was so dark."
"I know, but we found you. You're going to be just fine, Carlos."
"Dios," Carlos muttered, letting out a sigh.
A week later, Carlos and Trent were in the Thunder Investigations office, talking with Walker and Trivette.
"We've been hitting dead ends all around," Trivette spoke up. "They're ghosts."
"We've done background checks on everyone at Lila's. Everyone's clear," Walker added.
"Which makes me think even more that it's a Federal operation of some sort," Trent added.
"Oh, and Cancerman's at the center of it?" Carlos put in, disgustedly. He adjusted the sunglasses he still needed to wear, even indoors.
Trent rolled his eyes at the X-Files reference. "I was a part of that once, in my Army days, remember?" he said. "It's one of the reasons I got out."
Kim entered the office then, carrying the mail. "The usual bills," she announced, placing a stack on Trent's desk, "and a large envelope addressed to Carlos," she added handing a thick manila envelope to him.
Carlos's eyebrows scrunched together, his confusion showing. "Huh," he muttered as he opened the envelope. Then he let go of it, as if burned by it, and let the envelope drop to the floor.
Kim gasped as crisp one hundred-dollar bills slipped out of the envelope.
Carlos stepped back as Walker stepped forward, shuffling the envelope back, allowing the rest of the contents to slip out. On top, was a note.
"For your inconvenience," it said, simply, typewritten in the center of the page.
"There must be thousands there!" Kim exclaimed.
"No return address," Trivette noted. "Heck, not even a post mark!"
"I don't want it," Carlos said, stepping further away from the money and envelope. "Get it out of here. Donate it; burn it; I don't care."
"Are you kidding!" Kim balked, taking a step toward the money. "That could get us debt free for the next year!"
"No!" Carlos shouted. "Get it out of here. Probably somebody's bloodmoney or something. I don't want any part of it. It's over."
"Carlos?" Walker questioned.
"You've said it yourselves," Carlos began. "They're ghosts. We're not going to find them." He paced back toward his desk and sat down heavily in his chair. "It's over," he said, shaking his head. "I need it to be over."
Trent locked gazes with Carlos. Carlos had had more than one nightmare in the past week. The sunglasses he wore hid the dark circles under his eyes, the result of his lack of sleep, as well as protected them.
"Go back to fighting the real bad guys, Walker," Carlos continued. "The ones we can see and catch."
"You're giving up?" Trivette asked. "We can check the money, look for prints," he offered.
"I'm choosing to leave this battle, Trivette," Carlos responded, sullenly. "I need to move on."
"Probably won't find any prints anyway," Trent countered, receiving agreeing nods all around.
"And it's evidence," Walker added, motioning to the money. "We have to take it."
"You gotta be kidding me!" Kim wailed. "Carlos! Take the money! That witch owes you!"
"Get it out of here, Walker," Carlos said again.
"Well?" the woman asked impatiently.
"The package has been delivered, ma'am, but he's not taking payment. He's giving it up as evidence to the Rangers," the man replied.
"Like I told the bosses," she mused, "we don't have to worry about this one. He's legit."
The man closed his cell phone and turned off the listening devices he had in the van. Stepping outside, he turned his attention back onto the road and the cones he'd set up around a man hole in the street across from Uppercuts and Thunder Investigations, muttering to the traffic going slowly by, "Move on. Nothing to see."

Organizational reframing : the commercialization of a public sector organization
Thompson, Robert M. & Ryan, Neal F. (2013) Organizational reframing : the commercialization of a public sector organization. In Toombs, L. (Ed.) 73rd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management : Capitalism in Question, 9-13 August 2013, Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), Florida.

The purpose of this study is to elaborate shared schema change theory in the context of the radical restructuring-commercialization of an Australian public infrastructure organization. Commercialization of the case organization imposed high individual and collective cognitive processing and emotional demands as organizational members sought to develop new shared schema. Existing schema change research suggests that radical restructuring renders pre-existing shared schema irrelevant and triggers new schema development through experiential learning (Balogun and Johnson, 2004). Focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted at four points over a three-year period. The analysis revealed that shared schema change occurred in three broad phases:
(1) radical restructuring and aftermath; (2) new CEO and new change process schema, and: (3) large-group meeting and schema change.
Key findings include:
(1) radical structural change does not necessarily trigger new shared schema development as indicated in prior research; (2) leadership matters, particularly in framing new means-ends schema; (3) how change leader interventions are sequenced has an important influence on shared schema change, and; (4) the creation of facilitated social processes have an important influence on shared schema change.

The issue: Terrebonne Parish Council cell-phone abuse.
We suggest: Solutions rather than excuses.
The Terrebonne Parish Council has gotten a start on discussions that might end members' abuse of their taxpayer-financed cell-phone privileges.
On Monday, members delayed action on a recommendation that would have cut their monthly cell-phone allowances by $50. But at least there are signs that the real problem -- that the council has violated its own policy by making personal calls on the taxpayers' dime -- is finally sinking in.
Council Chairman Peter Rhodes decided to form the advisory panel April 11, two weeks after The Courier published a series of articles revealing that several council members routinely called friends and family on their parish cell phones, running up costs to taxpayers. Documents available under the state's public-records law show taxpayers spent $10,609 on the nine council members' cell-phone bills last year, and much of it went to frills like long-distance, roaming charges and text messaging. The Courier also noted that the $150-a-month allowance is about three times as high as the average cell-phone bill.
At Monday's committee meeting, Council-man Wayne Thibodeaux said The Courier is accusing the council of not following its own policy for phone-bill reimbursements.
And, in an April 4 editorial, the newspaper said just that. "This is more about the principle than the money," we said then. "It's the I-deserve-it attitude, one in which elected officials enjoy luxuries, privileges and perks that most of their constituents -- the ones who pay the bills -- wouldn't dream of using."
The parish policy, Thibodeaux noted, says each member has the choice of getting reimbursed for a mobile-phone or pager bill. "Either option chosen is to be used for parish-government business," the policy reads.
Thibodeaux said the panel's recommendation to cut the monthly allowance doesn't address whether the council is following its own policy. "If we are going to change the policy to reduce the per diem or amount by affected hours and continue to use the thing to call home or call schools, then I'm in violation because the policy says this is to be used for parish government business."
Thibodeaux's candid remarks were a refreshing break from the excuse making some of the other members engaged in Monday. Some said they might need the $150-a-month allowance for when things get really busy. Councilwoman Christa Duplantis, whose $1,946 cell bill was the highest of all the council members last year, agreed, adding that she went over her allotment on most months because there was some sort of disaster that prompted a lot of people to call her. She didn't mention the most frequent number she dialed last year on her taxpayer-financed cell phone: more than 100 calls to her brother and sister in law in Houston. Nonetheless, she did say she could live with a $100-a-month policy.
Duplantis asked if the panel contacted representatives of Cingular, Alltel or Sprint to see if they would like to put together a package for the council. But member Clayton Voisin said no. He said the panel agreed that trying to get everyone on one phone plan wouldn't be a wise approach. Voisin said some council members already have a one- or two-year contract with a cell-phone company, and breaking contracts could result in monetary penalties.
Thankfully, the parish administration was more creative than that when, last year, it shrank the number of cell phones used by parish workers from 166 to 75. It cut the reimbursement from $60 a month to $35 a month. After that, employees are responsible for their cell bills and can use the phones as they wish. Today, the parish pays about $2,500 a month, down from as much as $10,000 a month before the new policy. In addition, administrators no longer have to review workers' bills to make sure the phones are being used for business instead of personal reasons. That saves a lot of headaches and labor taxpayers also pay for.
As we suggested April 4, the council could do the same. And we suspect some cell company out there, in exchange for adding the nine council members to its rolls, might pick up the tab for any monetary penalties members would incur by switching cell providers.
We're confident the council members will figure this one out and do the right thing by their constituents and the taxpayers.

BizReport : Email Marketing : August 22, 2012
Email continues to be valuable and preferred marketing channel
Email continues to reign supreme as the most popular marketing channel, according to a new benchmark survey from Message Systems, followed by social and SMS.
Despite the rise in popularity of mobile and social channels, email continues to be most popular. Nearly all (97%) of respondents cited email as the top marketing channel followed by social with 70%.
Released during Message Systems' second user conference in San Diego earlier this week, the "Marketing Channel and Engagement Benchmark Survey" compiled data from more than 100 marketing and email industry professionals from around the world.
Almost two-thirds (63%) of respondents also reported that email provides the best ROI, trouncing the number that cited social. Furthermore, benefits of email include the ability to provide a more engaging and detailed message than via SMS or social and its low cost.
"Despite recent reports that the return on investment with email marketing has been declining over the past few years, our survey found that email is thriving, and driving more revenue and conversions than any other channel," said George Schlossnagle, CEO of Message Systems.
Other findings from the survey include:
- Marketers are increasingly using social media to engage and interact with customers. 64% of respondents had added social media in the past 12 months to enhance engagement.
- SMS is becoming more popular in customer engagement strategies. While 44% plan to invest in social media and 40% in email, a healthy 22% plan to use SMS in the future.

Managing the actual and potential impacts of our products through product stewardship and materials stewardship.
customer site visits conducted
Introducing Our Product Stewardship Committee and Product Life Cycle Management
Recycling E-waste Creates Value through Product Life Cycle Business Opportunities
We seek to maximize the value of our products by using our technology and expertise to support and advocate for the responsible use, reuse, recycling, recovery and disposal of materials.
We are committed to managing the potential impacts of our products while maximizing their value through materials stewardship. We use our technology and expertise to support and advocate for the responsible use, reuse, recycling, recovery and disposal of materials.
As part of our work in materials stewardship, we engage with manufacturers, users and governments to ensure the responsible use of our products and to promote effective, efficient and economic recycling of metals.
Materials stewardship at Teck is a risk management process to minimize the impact of our products throughout their life cycle on employees, communities and the environment, and to ensure our products satisfy or exceed regulatory and societal needs. This work is conducted primarily by our Materials Stewardship Committee, who defines and oversees our efforts and is responsible for:
We employ life cycle thinking to understand the potential risks and impacts of our products, beginning with the extraction of raw material from the earth, through to processing, transportation and customer use.
We manage a master product list and conduct customer assessment to ensure our products are used safely, as some products may cause harm if handled unsafely by smelters and end users. As part of our commitment to upholding business ethics, regulatory requirements and external expectations, we work to ensure smelters, including ours and downstream, of our products have sufficient environmental management practices.
We draw on ecotoxicity expertise developed by the various commodity associations to bring sound science into our management approaches and decisions, and our materials stewardship program is actively engaged with collective industry efforts, including those of the ICMM, towards continuously improving materials stewardship.
Our materials stewardship efforts have expanded in recent years to meet growing regulatory pressures on mineral concentrates. These are manifested, for example, in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) bulk cargo requirements, Chinese import restrictions, and the Minamata Convention for Mercury. These requirements and restrictions now affect mining companies and smelters globally, and Teck specifically, in the same way that Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations have defined chemical management programs for refined metals, alloys and compounds, in the European Union, since 2006.
Recycling is an important aspect of our everyday lives, as it conserves scarce natural resources, reduces the amount of waste that must be burned or buried and helps to sustain the environment for future generations. We recycle in accordance with international, national, provincial and local requirements and we look to exceed these requirements. We work to continually improve recycling at our operations by identifying and sharing best practices throughout the company. This includes conducting ongoing assessments of our recycling and reuse practices.
An example of how life cycle thinking is influencing our actions and decisions is the DERT project of our Exploration department. The DERT program helps flag, in the exploration phase, above-normal levels of deleterious elements that may impact the value of the products from the orebody or create environmental or processing issues. This program helps ensure that information on deleterious elements is incorporated into project assessments.
Through our materials stewardship committee, Teck continuously evaluates actual and potential risks and impacts of our products. Further to our ongoing assessment of the impacts of our products, we conducted several site visits with potential and existing customers to evaluate their capacity to handle our products responsibly. In 2015, we conducted 11 customer site visits, which included site visits focused on lead from Red Dog Operations, copper from Carmen de Andacollo Operations and products from Trail Operations.
An important part of our work in managing product impacts through materials stewardship is recycling. In 2015, we recycled 40,800 tonnes of material, compared to 37,797 tonnes in 2014 and 73,270 in 2013 . We also have focused on reducing our use of consumables in part to further reduce associated waste.
At our Trail Operations, our focus remains on treating cathode ray tube glass, plus small quantities of zinc alkaline batteries and other post-consumer waste through our recycling program. Trail developed Canada's first lead acid battery recycling program and through this program recycled 18,537 tonnes of used lead in 2015, compared to 18,955 in 2014 and 16,147 in 2013.
Management of the environmental and social impacts that may occur during the production and transportation of our products is guided by our HSEC Management Standards and sustainability strategy as well as activities associated with meeting permit and regulatory requirements. For details on our performance in managing environmental and social risks, please see the Environmental and Social sections of this website by visiting the Material Topics index page. For example, for performance on tailings and mine waste management, including the amount of hazardous and non-hazardous waste produced in 2015, see Table 35 on Tailings and Mine Waste Management.
We expect that regulatory and community pressure on mining companies to manage the impacts of their products will continue to increase. Through our materials stewardship working group and activities, and collaboration with industry associations and peers, we will continue our work to ensure our products are handled responsibly throughout their life cycle. For example, we will continue to conduct customer site visits and issue data sheets for our products in 2016.

It has been a while (eg 2008) since you could get a Jones titanium Diamond frame. We have been receiving numerous requests for us to make more and we are finally pleased to announce that we're doing a small run. They should be ready to ship by mid-November. We are taking pre-orders for frame […]
Three different wheel sets, in a turn, in slow motion.
I recently bought a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition camera.
Here is an experiment I did to see the action of the tires on ground.
Jones as a City and Touring Bike
This bike was ridden and reviewed by Patrick O'Grady for Adventure Cyclist magazine.
I designed/developed/evolved the geometry of this bike out on the tight single track trails in the woods and the dirt and gravel mountain roads near my shop here in Oregon. It is a "mountain bike" but is also an All Terrain Bike […]
Bikes, SSWC and Eurobike
I've been busy here with building up bikes, wheels and rolling chassis along with frame sets and wrapping bars. I have not added to the blog as I want to take care of the bikes that need building first. Most of my rides have been test rides for newly built bikes to be shipped […]
Steel Jones in WMTB . . .
Steve Worland's test of the steel diamond frame is now out, over in the UK, in the Summer 2011 issue of What Mountain Bike. I can't reproduce the article here, that wouldn't be right, but I can suggest you see if you can get hold of a copy (and I'll ask the publishers about […]
Spaceframe Geometry
Ok, catching up with myself here and I've had the first of the geometry details graphics sorted. There will soon be more to explain some of the thoughts, details and machinations that make my bikes what they are. This one, the titanium spaceframeset has been added to the production framesets page on my website, […]
Steel Jones with Steve Worland
Biff has been in touch, from the UK, to say that the steel diamond framed Jones bicycle (it featured in an earlier blog post) is now with Steve Worland for a What Mountain Bike Magazine test. Steve is a much respected cyclist and experienced journalist so it will be interesting to hear what he […]
Right, this is the first of several blog posts as I attempt to catch up with telling you (the reader) everything that I've been up to since I last posted. It's been too long, and I've been very busy. There is a lot going on at Jones Bicycles this year. It is all good, […]
A ride on new steel
I've been riding with the new steel frame and forks.
The snow will be here soon.
On this ride I kept everything in the bags and off my back. There is another water bottle in there too.
I've been choosing the fat wheel over the 29″ most of the time.
