Earlier this summer, I tried a little experiment: I unplugged for the Sabbath.
I'm Jewish, but not overly religious, and have certainly never formally observed the Fourth Commandment, other than via the tradition of wearing white on Friday nights at summer camp, which never seemed to dovetail with the fact that Fridays were also the night for grape juice.
However, my good friend and MWM subject Dan Rollman had co-founded a movement called The Sabbath Manifesto which encouraged a "Day of Unplugging," so I thought I'd give it a shot.
There are 10 principles that guide the Sabbath Manifesto, rooted in the Biblical tradition of the Sabbath but encouraging its secular application through activities meant to nourish and engage mind and spirit. The first one is "Avoid Technology," so immediately I was in trouble.
I not only work online through my various projects, but I am an avid user of online technologies to connect and engage with friends as well. Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Gchat — these are all the tools with which I stay in touch with my friends and family (and occasionally the old-fashioned telephone, for mum & Dad). The second principle of The Sabbath Manifesto is "Connect With Loved Ones," so if I adhered strictly to the principles as set out, the first would cancel out the second.
My compromise: No Blackberry, but I could use the phone to call my parents and sister; no computer, but I could leave Tweetdeck on and scrolling as a sort of digital Sabbath Goy; no Hulu, but I could watch TV (weekends are essential for catching up on the DVR); and in exchange, even though it doesn't have much to do with unplugging, no cabs (so I could honour the "Get Outside" and "Nurture Your Health" categories).
I went sundown to sundown, Friday to Saturday night, and went for the full 25 hours (I don't kid around.) So how did I do? Let's leave "avoid technology" for the end because it's the crux here. Connect with loved ones, nurture health, get outside – check check check. I read a book (American Subversive by David Goodwillie – excellent) and walked around in the sunshine with it, just like I usually do with my Blackberry. I avoided commerce (a good way to get a friend to pick up the tab for drinks!), drank wine (see previous), and ate bread (I'm Jewish; when it's not Passover, it's what we do). "Light Candles" is nice in theory, but in a tiny papertrap apartment on the Lower East Side, it is prudent to go for a mood-bulb; "Find Silence" – well, when you can't use your Blackberry to make plans with anyone that's pretty much a given! As for "Give Back" – well, I do most of my donating online, but I did use the time to do a thorough closet sort-through, resulting in about five or six bags of clothes to donate.
But to what end? Yes, it was 24 hours and it didn't kill me – but it also didn't help me, either. I was happy to read a book but it's not like I don't ever read books (that's what you do on planes when your laptop runs out of juice!). My weekends are oases of time and space, where I am able to draw a breath and dive into the stuff I couldn't get to that week – the great article I bookmarked, the friend whose emails I kept dropping, the blog post I'd meant to write on a subject that wasn't timely but was still important. I love weekends for giving me the chance to get stuff, and taking the pressure off during the week.
Put simply, the weekends are already my Sabbath. Adding a Sabbath into it actually created more work, based on what I was not able to get to during that 24 hour period of being off the grid. To you, that may sound crazy – but then again, maybe you have a house and family, spouse and kids, and weekends really do represent crucial time to spend together. God bless you for putting down the blackberry and taking a moment to enjoy the now. But for me, being a Blackberry orphan means feeling orphaned without my Blackberry – and what it can do to make my life better.
What does that say about me? I find the term "workaholic" to be distasteful, because it reminds me of the harried-looking lawyers I recall chained to their desks through nights and weekends during my lawyer days years ago. It becomes a different story when your work and life overlap and blend, when you get excited about tackling projects and don't want to let an opportunity slip by. And yes, I get that I'm putting a positive spin there — that for those around me, it can be annoying to see me disappear into my Berry or laptop for whatever calls to me from within. But the difference, to me, is that it's calling to me from within — with few exceptions, I'm not doing this on the weekend because I have to, but because I choose to. And if I can do so while drinking wine, so much the better.
Earlier, the Wall Street Journal ran a story called "Why relaxing is hard work," on just this theme. It draws a distinction between "the Hard Worker" and "the Workaholic," using the example of the "Hard Worker dreaming of a vacation while he works, while the Workaholic dreams of work while on vacation. This example is missing a key element: engagement. If the Hard Worker is not engaged in his work, then of course he'd rather be elsewhere — daydreaming of the next vacation got me through many a law-firm all-nighter.
But if the so-called Workaholic is engaged, that engagement doesn't just end because you have dinner reservations in 20 minutes or it's Tuesday and you're supposed to be somewhere. In that case, you get to dinner and talk about it, or send an email en route to the airport letting your team know you'll be checking in later. Why would we drop the things we're excited about? Why would we let them drop? If we really care about something, then we'll care no matter what else we've got on the schedule. That goes double for events offline — I can't tell you how many trips, dinners, and events I've been able to attend because I didn't have to sit by a computer waiting for comments or updates. The freedom to not run every hour to check your email, or tote your laptop around hoping to catch a stray wireless signal? Worth the price of a quickie Berry check, every time.
So I think the term "Workaholic" is an unfair one (perhaps because my score on the WSJ quiz on the matter put me so firmly in that camp). I think Workaholics do exist, but somewhere between the unengaged Hard Worker and the uber-obsessed Workaholic, there exists the happy medium of the "Workahol-ish" — one who works hard at something meaningful to them, and relishes the chance to do it.
"Workahol-ish" will probably not catch on, but that's OK — if the idea catches on, and those of us who consider our Blackberries a freedom and not a curse can stop having to defend ourselves against their use, maybe we can all relax a little bit more. And get a little bit more done. If we want to. Ideally outside, with family, over some bread and wine.

This afternoon I finished the first draft of Thomas Twine's Terrific Time Travelling Toilet.It's taken me about 8 months to get 61,000 words, a length which is appropriate for a children's story. It will probably grow to about 65,000 in revision.This is also another first for me. I've written the bulk of it on trains commuting to Bristol, thanks to an HP laptop that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Fedora 14 Linux.I'll take a break from writing for a day or two, then think of something else to work on.
Congratulations on both the story and the laptop! I'm sure the story's as much fun as the title sounds like it is.
Even more fun than that. Our heroes:Meet Brunel at the Great Exhibition.Sell Queen Victoria a carrier full of modern chocolates.Show Eraosthenes how to measure the size of the Earth.Go drinking with Guy Fawkes.Get blown up at Trafalgar then repaired by 29th century surgeons.Help Cranmer write the prayer book.Lend Bloody Mary a cellphone. Amazingly it works.Help the monks on Lindisfarne with their manuscripts by bringing some coloured biros.And that's only the start...
Congrats on finishing!-- Erin
Hurrah! Congratulations!
WOW!!!:boing: :sky: :boing: Congratulations on the great firsts!
Congratulations! Enjoy the buzz! :D
Sounds like a fun read.Maripat
Wooohooo, congratulations!
Hats off to you, Bob. (grin - upgraded from Windows 7 to Fedora 14 Linux.) Great going.Weird Jim"Good reading is the only test of good writing"Robertson Davies. A voice from the attic 1960
Congrats on the finish. It sounds fun, and a wonderful milestone on proving that you can get it done wherever you need to be.

Ford is preparing to celebrate 50 years continuous production of one its most legendary models, with the Mustang's big five-oh in 2014.
The brainchild of US auto industry icon, Lee Iacocca, the car was initially built on the underpinnings of the humble Falcon sedan, to save costs and provide seating for four.
It created an immediate sensation (22,000 sales in its first day) and spawned a group of similarly sized GT competitors, including Chevrolet's Camaro, which came to be known as 'pony cars.'
Over (close to) five decades the Mustang has evolved through five generations, muscling up in the late 1960s and early '70s with massive engines and significant motorsport success.
It shrank through the fuel-crisis '70s, but gradually came back to enjoy genuine muscle car status in the current version.
Ford says it has licenced 50 companies to create products bearing the special Mustang 50 logo, including high-quality die cast models, videogames, watches and apparel. And stand by for limited edition '50 Years' version of the car.

This post has been written and re-written several times within the last week or so. I've had the most wonderful experience running this website, meeting new friends and conversing with fans over the last year or so. After careful consideration i have decided to stop posting on this blog. This is mainly due to commitments towards my own education, i feel i can not give this site the time and commitment i have given it in the past. Unfortunately i feel these standards can not be currently upheld.
I'd like to thank every single person who has ever taken the time to read any of these blog posts, left comments and personally e-mailed me over the last year. You are all truly and greatly appreciated by myself and Maria.
I'd also like to say the largest thank you to Maria. Not only has she become a friend but she gave this blog her time, talent and commitment.
The blog will still be open for anyone who wishes to view past posts however no new posts will be available on the site starting Monday the 7th March.
Thank you and all the best, thank you for making this blog such a wonderful experience.

"Photoshop!", I hear you yell. But while I did use a polarization filter (a physical one, that is), image processing was minimal. Bavaria, Germany.
My favorite camera feature (Panasonic Lumix LX3): consistent crispness in image quality. Another example here. Previously I shot a Sony DSC H-1, and while it was by no means a bad camera, it doesn't even compare. For that small a package the LX3 delivers splendidly.

Virgin Cocktail
1/3 Forbidden Fruit Liqueur. (1 tsp. Home Made Forbidden Fruit)
1/3 White Crème de Menthe. (1/2 tsp. Brizard Creme de Menthe)
1/3 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Martin Miller's Gin)
(3/4 oz Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
The Savoy's likely source for this gem of a cocktail was likely Harry McElhone's 1928 "ABC of Cocktails". In his book "Barflies and Cocktails", he notes this is a "Recipe by Pete Ormart".
I've no idea who Pete was or where he worked, but oof, that certainly sounds like a recipe for slightly grapefruity Mouthwash.
I did my best to slightly mitigate the damage by lengthening the recipe with French Vermouth and decreasing the amounts of the liqueurs, but it was still far too minty for me. Maybe just a glass rinse of Menthe would be enough?
Though, there is a bit of similarity between this and Harry McElhone's original recipe for the White Lady:
White Lady
1/6 Brandy
1/6 Creme de Menthe
2/3 Cointreau
Shake well and strain.
So maybe he just liked that sort of thing, or at least thought White Ladies and Virgins did.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Walker, Kansas is in Ellis County. It is located just north of Interstate 70 at exit 172. The location is about a mile east of where the old Route 40 crosses under the Interstate. There are several inhabitants, but most of the town is gone. There's no "downtown" any more. But there is a huge and beautiful Catholic Church, St. Anne's, on the only street (Main Street) that goes north-south through the town. A large grain elevator stood by the railroad tracks until 2010, when it was torn down because it was about to fall over.
About half of the few houses that make up Walker are, like the church, well maintained. But the other half are in a picturesque state of ruin. Five of those are pictured below. Nothing is "staged" in these photos. There are exactly as I found them.
In the 1940s, Walker was home to a large Air Force based which closed shortly after World War II ended. The remnants of the facility, mainly an airstrip, remain to the north-northwest of the town itself. It's off-limits to photographers.
All photos taken 22 February 2012.

A local girl with no former acting experience made history this morning by becoming the youngest person in the Academy Awards' 85-year history to earn a "best-actress" nomination.
A local girl with no former acting experience made history this morning by becoming the youngest person in the Academy Awards' 85-year history to earn a "best-actress" nomination.
Quvenzhan� Wallis, 9, of Houma, star of the widely acclaimed "Beasts of the Southern Wild," was among the nominees announced during a ceremony held early today in Hollywood.
Wallis, a student at Elysian Fields, was in Los Angeles with her mother today and neither were immediately available for comment.
Filmed locally in 2010 and released over the summer, "Beasts of the Southern Wild," received several Academy Award nominations this morning, including "best picture," "best director" and "best adapted screenplay."
It was the first acting role for the then-6-year-old, who competed with thousands of other elementary-school-age girls for the role of Hushpuppy, a child who struggles to come to grips with the pending loss of both her father and her coastal home.
In an interview posted Wednesday by New York Newsday, director Benh Zeitlin talked about Wallis' contribution to the film and her potential Oscar nomination.
She "deserves it," he said. "She's so real, and she's so herself, and she doesn't have any pretense and she's so close to her feelings."
Zeitlin said he considered "4,000 people for that role, and I'd never seen a kid who could act like that. It's a miraculous thing, and it's talent."
Ahead of her nomination, he said the recognition is "like a really beautiful underdog story, so I'm hoping for her the most, I think."
Wallis was honored late last year by the Terrebonne Parish Council, and Parish President Michel Claudet presented her with a key to the parish.
"I remember her exact comment was, 'Thank you for the key,' " he said with a chuckle. "Such a nice young lady."
Contacted early today, Claudet said he hadn't yet heard of the Oscar announcement but deemed it "wonderful."
"I don't think I could be prouder," he said. "She's such a great ambassador for Terrebonne Parish and Houma."
Hank Babin, a local real-estate agent, met with some producers during filming and attended the screening in Montegut.
He said he remembers "talking about what possible awards it might get" after seeing the movie.
"This was their first film, right out the gate, their first major motion picture. So for them to achieve this has got to be a remarkable feeling," Babin said. "I'm proud for them that they've gotten such acclaim."
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" won the top prize in the independent film category at January's Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for Spirit Awards in several categories including Best Picture and Best Cinematography. Wallis got the nod for Best Actress and Zeitlin was picked Best Director.

Autumn leaves still cling to the trees.
The turkey hasn�t yet thawed.
There�s plenty of candy left from Halloween.
But friends and neighbors, the Chipmunks are singing at Walgreens already.
Yes, Christmastime is here!
Earlier and earlier it seems to come. As soon as the kids go back to school, the stores start vying for your holiday shopping dollar. There�s even a bikini or two left on the sales rack when the first Christmas tree goes up at the perfume counter.
Time was when folks took a deep breath between Thanksgiving and Christmas � but no more. The gravy won�t be cold next Thursday before retailers open their doors with promises of the biggest bargains of the season.
Black Friday has morphed into Thanksgiving afternoon shopping despite the woeful cries of traditionalists.
But we�d rather look at it this way � the longer the Christmas season, the more time to enjoy all that Gaston has to offer at this special time of the year.
There�s no stopping the push for an earlier start, so go with the flow and enjoy!
Catch Santa at the mall. How could it be Christmas without having a picture of your little one sitting on the lap of that Jolly Ol� Elf ?
Check out the lights at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. People come from everywhere to see this spectacular Gaston County treasure. We�re lucky enough to live nearby. Soak up the Christmas scenery!
Go to McAdenville. Ah, yes, McAdenville. Does it get any better than winding down the streets through the abundance of twinkling lights? It�s the perfect Christmas scene, and you become part of it when you take a trip to Christmastown, USA.
The town�s Yule Log parade and ceremony returns this year. Goody! And organizers are hoping they will start a new tradition with a 5K race and 1-mile walk on Nov. 30. Take part.
McAdenville�s goal is to bring people together, which is exactly what the abundance of special events does at Christmastime across our county.
Gaston Dance will do the Nutcracker. Join the crowd.
Gaston Choral Society will perform Handel�s Messiah. Make your plans quickly or you�ll find tickets are sold out.
And speaking of bringing folks together. How about the crowd that assembles in Dallas for Carols on the Square? Don�t miss it for feeling the Spirit of Christmas through and through.
Cantatas and Christmas pageants abound in Gaston churches large and small. Go to at least one � for your own enjoyment and to support those who put their hearts into celebrating the birth of Jesus.
So be thankful this Thanksgiving for the opportunity to get your shopping done earlier and earlier, leaving you wide open to soak up all of Christmas in Gaston County.
Happy Holidays!

UBS adds "USD Corporates" to its range of bond funds
UBS Global Asset Management today launched the bond fund UBS (Lux) Bond Sicav - USD Corporates (securities number 164 05 34). The subscription period runs from 11 to 22 August 2003 and the payment date is 27 August 2003. This new fund will give UBS investment clients easier access to the corporate bond market.
The USD Corporates fund uses a well-diversified range of carefully selected securities to spread the credit risk and achieve higher potential returns. It invests primarily in bonds of investment grade companies. These bonds have a Standard and Poor's rating of AAA to BBB-. At the same time, the risk/return ratio improves: the yield potential of corporates is higher than that of government bonds, though the increase in risk is proportionately lower.
The Fund Management accords great importance to diversification. Diversified investments can reduce the impact of negative company news and company-specific credit risks. There are plenty of USD corporate bonds to choose from. Over 3,600 issues with a volume of more than USD 1,900 billion currently meet the investment grade quality requirement, and nearly two-thirds have A ratings or higher.

text: 07 Apr 2014 14:00 Etihad Airways and its Abu Dhabi home-base continue to benefit from the airline's strategy of working closely with network partners which, in turn, is supporting economic growth in markets around the world. Details of the successful expansion strategy were shared by James Hogan, Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive, during his keynote address to delegates at the Global Aerospace Summit being held in Abu Dhabi. Mr Hogan said: "Etihad Airways continues to be our core business and main focus, yet through our network partners, the airline is building a global presence which we wouldn't be able to do alone and helps us all carry greater numbers of air travellers around the world." Mr Hogan spoke about how Etihad Airways and its network partners can now leverage economies of scale through joint procurement and resource sharing, which he said were not available through pure commercial relationships or membership of airline alliances. "The benefits of strategy flow to our partners as they gain access to the Etihad Airways global flight network, improved revenue opportunities and reciprocal cost and efficiency gains. The net result is stronger, more competitive airlines, delivering benefits to consumers, creating employment and contributing to economic growth," said Mr Hogan. In addition Mr Hogan shared details with delegates at the Global Aerospace Summit about the impressive plans for the new Midfield Terminal at Abu Dhabi Airport. With construction well underway, the iconic Midfield Terminal will be open in 2017 with an annual capacity of 30 million passengers. Mr Hogan added that the benefits of working with Etihad Airways and Abu Dhabi were felt by the partner airlines and the markets they operate in: "By expanding our organic operations from Abu Dhabi, and by increasing our connectivity with other destinations through our partnerships, we are not only flying passengers and freight to and from Abu Dhabi, but also acting as a catalyst for additional economic growth, both here and elsewhere." "In Europe, for example, we have acquired minority equity stakes in airberlin, Air Serbia and Aer Lingus and are seeking regulatory approval to invest in the Swiss regional carrier Darwin Airline, which now operates as Etihad Regional – Switzerland. "In doing so, not only do we strengthen our own operations, we strengthen those of our equity partner airlines, increasing competition within Europe, and bolstering European economies as well as our own home base." The Global Aerospace Summit is an invitation only event for C-level executives, senior decision makers and government officials involved with the aerospace, aviation, defence and space industries. It is taking place today, Monday 7 April, and tomorrow at the St. Regis, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi.

Mary Altaffer / AP
Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2012 | 3:43 p.m.
MADILL, Okla. — Like her husband, Janna Ryan, the wife of Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, is a Washington veteran after years working as a legislative staffer, attorney and lobbyist. Now a stay-at-home mom, she comes from a family rooted deep in Oklahoma politics — of the Democratic sort.
In the days since Mitt Romney introduced her husband as his running mate, the woman who grew up Janna Christine Little also has been thrust into the spotlight. She beamed Saturday in Norfolk, Va., and accepted a kiss on the cheek from Ryan as Romney made his choice official. And she stood, with her hand on her husband's chest, a night later during a homecoming rally in Wisconsin.
While he headed out on the campaign trail, she took the kids — their daughter, Liza, 10, and sons Charles, 8, and Sam, 7 — camping in Colorado, the same vacation he had planned to attend before being tapped to serve as Romney's running mate.
In Lakewood, Colo., on Tuesday, Ryan told more than 2,000 supporters that he and his wife taught their children last summer how to cook on the campfire and make s'mores. Said Ryan: "Janna and I put them to bed in the tent. We stayed up late and we talked about our country. And there's nothing like the stars and the skies of the Colorado Rockies at night."
His wife knows something about living in a place where the skies are big and filled with stars. Her path to Washington — and, possibly, to the White House — began in the small southern Oklahoma town of Madill, where her family is an institution.
"It's a classic entrepreneurial family and one that has given back a great deal to the community," said Republican Rep. Tom Cole, a family friend whose district includes Madill.
Janna Ryan, 43, is a cousin of Democratic U.S. Rep. Dan Boren and a niece of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. David Boren. Her grandfather, the late Reuel Little, a longtime farmer and rancher, won less than 4 percent of the vote as a third-party candidate for governor in 1970. His 1993 obituary in the newspaper The Oklahoman said he and a group began planning the party's formation in 1967 to help George Wallace's presidential bid. The four-term Alabama governor and segregationist was a Democrat but ran in 1968 as the American Independent Party candidate.
Dan Little, Janna's father and an attorney, still works at the law firm Reuel Little started in 1927; he also is chairman of the Oklahoma School of Mathematics and Sciences Board of Trustees and a former member of the University of Oklahoma board. Her mother, the late Prudence Little, was one of the first members of the state's ethics commission, as well as a former chairman of the Oklahoma University Foundation.
Says Lynn Windel, a law partner of Dan Little's and a family friend, of Mrs. Ryan: "She basically has come from a politically minded family, so it was easy for her to understand politics."
Mrs. Ryan caught the political bug early, working as an intern for David Boren. He calls her "one of the best interns I ever had in my office."
Boren, now the president of the University of Oklahoma, is effusive in his praise: "She is highly intelligent and a hard worker. More recently she has put all of her energy into being a wonderful mother and wife. Having known her all of her life, I have great admiration and affection for her."
By the early 1990s, she was in Washington where she would spend six years in Democratic Rep. Bill Brewster's office, focusing on health care issues and also earning her law degree at night. Brewster praised her as "always very dependable, conscientious, and well prepared for constituent and committee meetings."
It was in that town that she would meet her future husband.
"I wouldn't call Janna a politico, but she is very natural in and around politics," said Leslie Belcher, who worked in Brewster's office with Janna Ryan and was a bridesmaid at her wedding. "That being said, I can put Janna at the Sand Bass festival in Marshall County and she's natural there, too."
"There" is part of a region that some call "Little Dixie." Registered Democrats make up two-thirds of the registered voters in Marshall County, where Madill is located, but the county went easily to Republican John McCain in the 2008 election. President Barack Obama did not win a single county in the state that year.
The town's mayor, Kevin Epplen, is a registered Democrat who can't remember the last time he voted for one. Epplen says Paul Ryan's name on the ticket makes it more likely that he'll vote for Romney in November. "Honestly, I'd rather vote for (Paul Ryan) as president than vice president," he said.
This region's more moderate — some could say even conservative — tendencies may help explain why the Ryans' union in 2000 in an Oklahoma City church caused little heartburn for what had been a traditionally Democratic family. (Dan Little, Janna's father, switched his voter registration from Democrat to Republican last year.)
Since then, Paul Ryan has been a familiar figure in the region and regularly goes to his wife's hometown for hunting trips.
"People there love him," says Cole, who remembers unexpectedly seeing the Wisconsin congressman at an event in the area. Cole said he'll sometimes even pass along Madill constituents' concerns. "He's introduced me to people in my district that I otherwise might not have known."
Friends say they don't know if Janna Ryan ever considered herself a Democrat, but they note that she's worked for and comes from a line of "Blue Dog" Democrats who have often split from the national party.
"I think she would have gotten more hell from her friends if she married a Democrat," Belcher said.

See used Ford Mustang listings in your area.Used Listings
The Ford Mustang has been the icon of American performance since its 1964 introduction, popular for its bold style, rear-wheel drive performance and affordable price. The Mustang started the ponycar genre, and now, after 40 years of competition with the Camaro, Firebird and others, it's the only one left.
The new Mustang represents a clean-sheet design, riding on an all-new platform. It's faster, more agile and better looking than ever. It rides smoother, The interior is beautifully done.
The Mustang V-6 Deluxe coupe comes well equipped for less than $20,000. The Mustang GT boasts a new multi-valve, overhead-cam V8 that produces 300 horsepower and is available with a Tremec five-speed manual or an automatic.
The new Mustang is being offered in coupe and convertible versions, though the convertibles won't be available until spring 2005. The coupe comes in Deluxe, Premium, GT and GT Premium trim levels.
The base V-6 Deluxe coupe ($18,785) comes with a 210-horsepower 4.0-liter sohc V6 engine and a new Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, 16-inch painted cast aluminum wheels with all-season tires, air conditioning, dual power mirrors, rear window defroster, AM/FM stereo with single CD player, four-wheel power disc brakes, occupant classification air bags, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and power windows with driver and passenger one-touch up/down function.
Options for V-6 models include five-speed automatic transmission ($995), anti-lock brakes and all-speed traction control ($775), side-impact air bags ($370), leather seating surfaces ($695), an active anti-theft system ($255), an exterior sport appearance package ($295), and an interior upgrade package ($450). The Premium package ($585) adds 16-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with chrome spinners, a new Shaker 500-watt audio system with 6-disc CD changer and MP3 capability, and a 6-way power adjustable driver seat.
Mustang GT ($24,370) features a new 300-horsepower 4.6-liter sohc V8. GT standard equipment includes four-wheel power disc brakes with four-channel anti-lock braking and all-speed traction control, dual exhausts, front fog lamps, a rear spoiler, tilt steering wheel, 17-inch painted cast aluminum wheels with Z-rated performance tires, air conditioning, dual power mirrors and rear window defroster, AM/FM stereo with a single-CD player, occupant-sensing air bags, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and power windows with one-touch up/down operation.
GT Premium ($1,335) comes with the Shaker 500-watt audio system with 6-disc CD player and MP3 capability and Aberdeen leather-trimmed embossed sport bucket seats. Options on all Mustang GTs include the five-speed automatic transmission ($995), side-impact air bags ($370), 17-inch machined aluminum wheels ($195), active anti-theft system ($255), a Shaker 1000-watt audio system ($1,295), an interior upgrade package ($450), and an interior color enhancement package ($175).
Nothing says modern American sporty car better than this new Mustang. Its long hood and short rear deck capitalize on 40 years of Mustang history. The new Mustang features classic design cues that have defined Mustangs since the 1960s: C-scoops in the sides, three-element taillamps and a galloping horse badge in the center of the grille. Its menacing shark-like nose is reminiscent of the 1967 model.
The new Mustang is based on a modified version of the platform that underpins the Lincoln LS, the Jaguar S-Type, and the Ford Thunderbird, but with a new three-link live-axle rear suspension installed in place of the IRS under the luxury cars in order to keep the price down (the original idea was to offer the IRS as standard equipment, but it will likely be on the Cobra version when it comes). Ford reasons that more Mustang fans will favor the solid-axle rear suspension for their recreational track days and drag racing.
Everything under the car has been upgraded substantially from previous Mustang levels: bigger brakes by nearly 20 percent, completely new front and rear suspension designs that yield much quieter, smoother ride as well as much more precise steering and harder cornering, two new engines, two new transmissions, and a large-diameter (2.5 inches from end to end) performance exhaust system. There's nothing left of the old Mustang but the logos. Optional anti-lock brakes bundled with traction control give any driver much more of a fighting chance in bad situations.
Both new engines are mounted to their bodies with hydraulic engine mounts, which absorb and counteract vibration and pulsing, and the combination of the engine and transmission bolted together, is stiffer than previous designs, which should also add to quietness. The car absolutely bristles with other new technologies.
The Mustang heritage of low-cost performance and flashy styling has not been compromised one iota by putting the new car on the platform that Ford used to call the CDW. By adapting lots of ideas and components from luxury cars like the Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, and Thunderbird that were previously built on the CDW model, they have given the Mustang a whole new level of sophistication that no Mustang before it ever had. We know, because we've driven every generation since the original debuted n the spring of 1964.
The interior of the new Mustang is sporty and crisp and beautifully done. There's a very heavy dose of 1967 Mustang interior design, with two distinct right and left pods. Because of the longer wheelbase and larger overall size, there is a lot more hip, leg, elbow and shoulder room inside this Mustang that in any previous generation Mustang.
In addition to the slick new interior decor, the new Mustang has the industry's first color-changeable instrument panel display, with 125 color schemes to choose from. It's easy to use, it's spectacular, and it works beautifully to brighten up your day, and especially your night, as you drive. And, speaking of brightening, there is more shiny metal on the interior, including the vent rings, steering wheel spokes and other bits, and on sunny days, that can cause some vision and glare problems for the driver.
We found the front bucket seats to be comfortable, supportive and retentive in hard corners, and in general, the interior looks like it belongs in a much more expensive car. There is an interior upgrade package that adds red leather seats, red door inserts and red floor mats on cars with appropriate exterior colors. Another package adds real aluminum trim to the interior for one more customization step.
The basic sound system that comes with the car is pretty darn good, but in this day and age of pervasive music, there has to be more, more wattage, more speakers, more power. To back that up, Ford offers not one but two optional AM/FM/CD changer systems, one with 500 watts, and one with, are you ready? 1000 watts of power, both systems with subwoofers in the doors, and the 1000-watter with two more subwoofers in the trunk.
The old Mustang, a modified, stiffened and welded version of the 1979 Fox platform, was about as stiff as wet rope, but this new all-steel Mustang body and chassis unit is a claimed 31 percent stiffer than the recently departed SN95 Mustang, which should improve ride quality, noise and handling.
It doesn't look it, but the new Mustang has a wheelbase that is a full six inches longer than the outgoing model, and that makes all the difference. The ride has smoothed out, and the remaining harshness is of a completely different order. The new rear suspension uses coil springs and a lightweight three-link design with a Panhard bar and other locators to keep things constant.
The new 4.0-liter V-6 engine has more technical sophistication than any previous Ford V-6. It is a very solid performer in urban, exurban and suburban duties, and the ratios in the automatic seem well matched to the available torque. When the automatic transmission gets into overdrive fifth gear, the engine goes quietly into economy mode until called upon for a lane change, a pass, or an uphill charge. But it's still a large-displacement V-6 and it sounds more muscular at full throttle than any previous Ford V-6 engine.
The V-6 Deluxe is the most popular model; Ford says that for every three GTs sold, it will sell seven of the V-6 versions. At this low price, we were particularly impressed with its power, torque, acceleration, and general road manners, including its pretty, rorty exhaust note. Interestingly, while it has 90 horsepower and 80 foot-pounds less grunt than the V-8 and rides on smaller tires, the V-6 seems slightly more eager to turn and more agile than the nose-heavy GT V-8 (the GT weighs about 150 pounds more, and almost all of it is on the front tires).
The Mustang is relatively heavy, and the brakes are a whopping 15 percent larger than the old brakes; they really work well in high-speed highway driving situations, as we found out on our test drive in Los Angeles. If you want ABS, you will automatically get, and pay for, traction control, which has a dash-mounted off switch for special situations, like racing, for instance.
The GT is a 300-horsepower, five-speed pavement-ripper for about $25,000. The new three-valve V-8 engine features both variable camshaft timing and electronic throttle control, with a new set of smarter, faster-acting engine electronic controls. It will run 0-60 mph in about 5.5 seconds, it will outbrake a large number of sporty cars with its big new brakes, and it handles better on canyon roads that any previous Mustang except the Cobra, with a minimum of body roll and a large portion of tire grip.
It looks mean, and it drives mean, with 320 pound-feet of torque, a slick shifter, a brawny, loud exhaust note, and one of the world's largest aftermarket networks, including Ford's in-house parts company, Ford Racing Technology, for those who want even higher performance.
The Mustang has been so popular for so long that, over time, it simply blew the old Barracuda, the Challenger, the Camaro, the Firebird and the AMC AMX and Javelin pretenders right off the street. It started the ponycar genre, and now, after 40 years of street and track competition, it's the only one left.
There is nothing else that says modern American sporty car better than this new Mustang. Its combination of high style, performance, and handling with a light touch can't be beat for this kind of money, and early indications are that the quality should be far better than any previous Mustang. Ford is planning on building about 175,000 of these a year, and we think they're shooting low. Way low.
New Car Test Drive correspondent Jim McCraw filed this report from Los Angeles.
We have partnered with trusted dealers in your area to give you a great price on the new Ford Mustang.

The DOJ's Truly Disgusting Argument For Denying A Megaupload User Access To His Legal Content
from the hey,-not-our-machines... deptIn the ongoing saga of what happens to all the data stored on the Megaupload servers, the Department of Justice has now filed a truly revolting argument in seeking to end the efforts by a Megaupload user, Kyle Goodwin (who uploaded and stored sports videos that he shot), to regain access to the content he uploaded.
As we've noted, there's been a lot of finger pointing going on here, with a bunch of highly questionable actions on the part of the government, including its repeated suggestion that all of this data -- which, remember, they seemed to think was evidence of a crime -- should simply be deleted. But what's so sneaky and duplicitous about the DOJ's argument here? They're saying that because they never actually seized the servers in question, this has absolutely nothing to do with them -- and that Goodwin would be better off suing Megaupload or Carpathia (the hosting company) or simply paying Carpathia to access the servers. Basically, it says that no one's stopping him... other than the fact that all the servers are offline thanks to the feds' own actions (but, please, they'd prefer you not remember that part). They actually seem to feign surprise that their own actions of seizing Megaupload's domains and all of the company's (and its exec team's) money, and arresting the entire senior management team... might lead to the site being shut down entirely.
Basically, it's as if the government walked into a china shop, smashed up every last piece, and then walked out. When the owner then sought restitution from the government, the government suddenly insists that since it didn't take any of the broken pieces out of the shop, there's no cause for action against the government. And all the smashed up little pieces are still there, so why would anyone complain?
Oh, and just to add totally obnoxious insult to injury, the DOJ also says that even if the court decides that there's some merit in the arguments laid out by Goodwin, even that doesn't matter, because it'll just cop out and declare "sovereign immunity" and avoid having to pay out. The whole thing is a fairly disgusting display by the DOJ showing just how far it will go to lock someone up once it's determined to. They will cause all sorts of collateral damage, and when someone calls them on it, they'll just point the finger elsewhere... all while demanding even more power to censor with impunity.

Unexpected delay!
Hi everyone,

I didn't anticipate such a rush of orders, but the lovely people at Daily Candy have been extremely kind enough to feature me on their website. I sincerely apologize for the delay, and thanks very much for your patience!

Different night. Different opponent. Same old Knicks. The Knicks lost their in the final seconds, this time 91-89 in Boston. In a game marred by horrible officiating, Boston's rebounding, Toney Douglas' inability to play basketball and more horrible officiating, the Knicks blew a 6 point halftime lead as they dropped yet another game in Boston. New York has not won in Boston since 2006. Anger does not begin to describe how I felt during the game and how I feel now. This team is the epitome of torture but unlike the 2010 San Francisco Giants they are not winning any games.
Here are my notes from the game:
- The goat (no, not greatest of all time) for this game has to be Toney Douglas. I don't like pinning losses on one guy and he doesn't deserve all the blame but I thought his play was a huge reason the Knicks lost tonight. When he enters the game, the entire flow of the team seems to disappear. He cannot move the ball with any success, he stops his dribble too early and he doesn't get anybody the ball where they need it. Douglas means well, he is not rude to fans and he carries himself with class but it cannot be ignored that he is screwing over his team right now. He was a -9 on the night in 8 minutes. I am shocked it was only -9. It felt like he was -29 on the night. Boston made a run every time he came into the game and I don't think that is coincidence. I ripped Douglas pretty badly last night and those same criticism's are valid tonight. I'll save myself 5 minutes of ranting and direct you to what I wrote yesterday.
- This was not a great game for Mike D'Antoni. I really do like the lame duck coach and I think he can win with this team. I thought last night was one of his best coached games and I think he made some poor decisions tonight. I understand him wanting to save some of the confidence of Toney Douglas but in a game that was basically a must win, having Douglas out there in the fourth quarter was utterly asinine. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would have rather seen Jeremy Lin out there. I thought the decision to have Novak in was an odd one but I cannot completely fault it. I do not understand and would like to hear something about the play that was called on that final play. I have watched it 5 times and I do not understand exactly where that ball was supposed to go. Melo kind of just stood there the entire time until the very end of the play and it was too late. D'Antoni drew up a good play last night and I think he drew up a very mediocre play tonight. I will never pin this game on D'Antoni because the Knicks did miss opportunities to hit shots but he did make some poor decisions tonight that cost the team.
- I thought Jeremy Lin did some nice things tonight. He is never going to be great but he was definitely better than Douglas. He can't shoot worth a lick but he plays hard defensively and can penetrate the defense. I think he definitely has to be the first guard off the bench because Douglas is worthless and is killing the team right now. I liked what I saw from Lin, who I don't really like that much. It is sad that the Knicks have to revert to a guy like Lin to be the backup point guard but that is what has to be done right now.
- Anthony and Stoudemire continue to improve. I thought they did a nice job tonight. I would have liked Amar'e to get a few more touches though. He took only 15 shots tonight, i'd like to see him get about 17-20 every game, especially with the other scoring options we have. Anthony dominated Mickael Pietrus all night. Unfortunately, another criticism of D'Antoni, the Knicks went to the "melo-iso" offense way too early in the game. I thought it actually threw him out of a rhythm in that everything became stagnant. At least early in the game, they got him the ball in isolation that was set up by ball movement and he got the ball deep on the right block. I would still like to see a better 2 man game between Anthony and Stoudemire but both stars seem to be playing better and more efficiently.
- Speaking of Anthony, is it possible that his conditioning could be a bit off? He has played well for the first 3 quarters in each of the last 2 games but his performance has been worse in the 4th quarters. He is clutch as hell, its not LeBron syndrome. I think he could potentially be behind in conditioning due to his recent injury. This is not something that has been written about or reported, it is just a hunch on my part.
- How bad was the officiating tonight? I could go play by play and point every missed call out but I would be writing for about 2 hours. Long story short, the officials were a big part of the Knicks losing that game. They gave the Celdicks the ball wrongfully about 3 times, each of which led to a Boston foul. When the Knicks reacted to the poor officiating, they were slapped with technical fouls. Honestly, that game felt rigged to me. It looked like super bowl 40 when Seattle was robbed by the officials against Pittsburgh. I know tonight's game did not have that magnitude but it definitely felt like Garnett was touching some officials before the game. It is an absolute travesty that David Stern and the NBA allow that kind of officiating to go on like that without punishment. I always think officials are bad but they disgustingly biased tonight.
- To put in perspective how bad this bench is, let me throw some stats at you:
Knicks bench stats/ NBA rank
- 24.5 points per game / 27th
- 10.3 rebounds per game/ 30th
- 5.4 assists per game/ 26th
- 39.6% shooting/ 26th
- 25.5 efficiency rate/ 27th
- Those are some sad sad statistics. The sad thing is that a lot of those numbers were generated with Shumpert coming off the bench. I believe when it is all said and done, this will end up being one of the worst benches of all time. With Harrellson injured, there is absolutely nobody who can score coming off the bench. At least Jorts is good for a couple jump shots per game. I actually overestimated the bench in my pre-game. I predicted a 10 point game by the bench. They scored 9. Toney Douglas scored 0 points. Enough said.
- All 5 Knicks starters have played 35+ minutes in each of the past 2 games. The Knicks play a the 3rd game of a back-to-back-to-back tomorrow night against the Nets. I expect tomorrow to be a rough game in which the Knicks players will come out tired. This is not rock bottom. I promise you Knick fans that this CAN get worse. Lets just pray it doesn't. Pray hard.

Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) - Police arrested a man Tuesday in the theft of his father's corpse, which was taken from a cemetery before it could be buried and was found in the son's basement.
Clarence Bright's 48-year-old son was arrested with another man when officers found them with an empty casket inside a van at a gas station, Officer George Day said.
Police did not disclose a motive for the theft of the body.
"The details, his mental state - I can't comment on," Stephens said.
Bright's final earthly journey was supposed to end Saturday at Gethsemane Cemetery on Detroit's east side, but soggy ground from recent rain postponed the burial of the 93-year-old.
The casket was placed near a chapel or a mausoleum on cemetery grounds and remained there through Monday morning when it was reported stolen, said Leon Jones, a mortician's assistant at Swanson Funeral Home, which handled Bright's funeral.
"This is a very, very bizarre situation," Jones said.
Acting on a tip that a white van had been seen at the cemetery around the time the body was taken, police spotted one parked at a gas station Tuesday, with the men and the empty casket inside, Day said.
Within an hour, investigators contacted by family located Bright's body a few blocks away in the basement of a bungalow that belongs to the arrested son, Sgt. Eren Stephens said.
"Nothing seems to be wrong with the body," Day told reporters. "Hopefully, the family can now get the body back and give it a proper burial."
Police declined to release the names of Bright's son or the 38-year-old man who was with him. They had not been charged and the theft remained under investigation.
Across the street, resident Terri Gaines, 36, said she didn't have much contact with Bright's son.
"He's so quiet. He just goes in and out. He never had company," Gaines said.
Jones said there was nothing unusual at the weekend funeral.
"People come in, they're grieving," he said. "We just try to comfort people."

Frederick James LIGHTOLLER
Frederick James LIGHTOLLER was born on the 6th of January 1842 in Chorley, Lancashire, England, his father being Richard Ashton LIGHTOLLER and his mother Ann nee LOVELADY. He was the oldest of five children, his brothers and sisters being Thomas Henry, Mary Jane, Emily Marietta and John William.
The 1851 census has nine year old Frederick and his seven year old brother, Thomas, boarding at Walton Academy at Walton-on-the-Hill near Liverpool. The family was well off, and lived at Yarrow House in Chorley.
For a time Frederick was a soldier, being stationed at Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. This happened soon after his first marriage: to Sarah Jane WIDDOWS in Blackpool in 1863. While in Kirkintilloch, in 1864, their first child was born, James Henry LIGHTOLLER, but he died as a baby. Their second son, Richard Ashton LIGHTOLLER, was also born in 1864 in Kirkintilloch. He may have been the twin of James.
Frederick's army rank was Captain.
Frederick and his wife returned to Chorley and he took over his father's cotton mills business.
Frederick and Sarah's first daughter, Jane Marietta, was born at Charnock Richard, Lancashire, on the 19th of April 1865. Next was Caroline Mary in Chorley in 1867. Then came Gertrude Ann in 1869 and Ethel Elizabeth in 1872. Finally Charles Herbert was born on the 30th of March 1874.
A month after Charles Herbert was born, Frederick's wife died of scarlet fever. She was 30 years old. This was followed closely by the death of Frederick's 7 year old daughter Caroline, and 10 year old son Richard. Richard's death record states that he died of "morbus coxae" - which is a tubercular disease of the hip joint.
Daughters Jane and Gertrude boarded at a private school in Reading St Giles, Berkshire. The school had 11 pupils, 3 servants, 2 governesses (one English and one German) and a French Principal (Madame Clarisse ANCELLIN). Frederick's children, Ethel and Herbert, remained home with a private governess, Miss M.B. ELSTONE. Moira LYFORD, Jane's granddaughter, related how Janie had been to private schools in England and was vastly unsuited to the New Zealand conditions. Moira LYFORD remembered Frederick LIGHTOLLER being described as "a bit of an old devil".
On Thursday 6 January 1876, Frederick married Margaret BARTON at Chorley. It was reported in the papers as a "society wedding". Frederick was elected an Alderman of Chorley.
In the 1881 census, the LLIGHTOLLER's had two servants in the house: Jane JACKSON and Joice GLADWELL (sic).
On the 19th of September 1881, his wife Margaret died. She was 28. They had no children.
After this time, there are rumours passed on through the descendants in both England and New Zealand: a scandal occurred! It seems that Frederick fell in love with the LIGHTOLLER's French Maid, Joyce GLADWIN. (A "French Maid" is someone who looks after the household clothing). The English version of the story had Joyce GLADWIN as the Nanny. Joyce had a baby, Janet, in 1883. Frederick was quietly banished by his family to New Zealand late in 1884. Relatives took care of the children. However, his 19 year old daughter, Jane, went with him to New Zealand. He left behind Gertrude, Ethel and Herbert. They were 15, 12 and 10 respectively.
Frederick and Jane travelled on the steamship the "Doric". It arrived in Auckland on the 23 February 1885, having sailed from London with 114 passengers. On the passage out, they called into Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Island. The passenger list states that the LIGHTOLLERs were to alight in Wellington. After Auckland, the "Doric" called into Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Napier and Wellington (a second time), before leaving again for London. Frederick's first known address in New Zealand is Northern Wairoa (which is in the Dargaville area).
It is not known when Joyce GLADWIN and her daughter Janet came to New Zealand. She and Frederick were married in Auckland on the 11th of September 1885. On the marriage certificate, Frederick is described as a clerk, aged 43, living in Northern Wairoa, and a widower. Joyce is aged 22. Her current address is given as Auckland but her usual address is given as Lancashire. It would seem reasonable to deduce that Frederick travelled to Auckland from Northern Wairoa to meet her ship.
Possibly Frederick and Joyce lived for a time in Dargaville, and then Opotiki, before moving to Waipawa. There is a report in the "Hawkes Bay Herald" of 28 February 1894, in which Mr LIGHTOLLER and his wife take a Mr McDONALD to court for 28 pounds for damage to luggage while crossing the Tutaekuri River. They may have been on their way to live in Waipawa.
On 20th March 1889, at Opotiki, Jane Marietta LIGHTOLLER married Frederick Allen CLAY. In 1891, Frederick's English daughter, Ethel, married Arthur LEIGH.
In Waipawa, Ann LIGHTOLLER was born in 1894 and died the same year. Alice LIGHTOLLER was born on Thursday 13th June 1895, and Frederick LIGHTOLLER on 13 September 1899. Joyce LIGHTOLLER was born in 1901, and Helen LIGHTOLLER in 1904.
On the 18th of February 1901, daughter Janet married Charles Henry NASH. In 1903, Frederick's English son, Herbert, married Australian Iowa Sylvania Zillah HAWLEY-WILSON(known as Sylvia).
In 1904 Frederick and Joyce moved from Waipawa to Beach Street, Petone, where Frederick worked as an accountant and Joyce as a laundress. Helen died in 1905 and was buried in the Taita Cemetery.
By 1906, the family were living at 5 Aurora Street, Petone. In August 1907 Joyce became ill with tuberculosis. She died at home on Saturday 23 November, and was buried at the Taita Cemetery. She was 44 years old. The Minister was J.W. RUSSELL of the Church of England. Janet was 22, Alice 12, Frederick 8 and Joyce 7.
From 1911 Frederick James LIGHTOLLER had a bad heart and associated depression. He had moved to 12 Manchester Street in Petone and was working as a labourer. The "Titanic", of which his son Herbert was the highest in command saved, sank in 1912.
Towards the end of 1913 Frederick moved from Petone back to Waipawa. In early December he cut his throat and died of the resulting shock on Friday 12th December 1913. He was 72 years old. The Rev. T.W. WHIBLEY of the Church of England buried him in an unmarked grave in the Waipawa Cemetery. In those days, suicide victims were given neither a church service nor a grave stone.
Janet was 30, Alice was 18, Frederick was 14 and Joyce was 12. The family continued to live at Waipawa cared for by Janet.
GOODMAN of New Zealand
I have a 31 page list of all Births (up to 1961), Deaths (up to 1970) and Marriages (up to 1940) of Goodmans in New Zealand. I resolved to try and place them all in their various Goodman families, and am now down to a few pages of unresolved family connections. If anyone is researching Goodmans in New Zealand I would love to mutually share information. Bruce Goodman

INDIANAPOLIS – USA Track and Field CEO Max Siegel and President/Chairman of the Board Stephanie Hightower welcomed constituents from across the country to the 2013 Annual Meeting with a message of change, progress and the pathway toward organizational and competitive excellence.
USA Track & Field's 2013 Annual Meeting, a four-day event beginning Thursday, Dec. 5 and concluding Sunday, Dec. 8, is officially underway at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis, which is home to the organization's national office.
The Annual Meeting brings together committees, subcommittees and task forces for once-a-year, face-to-face meetings. In alternating years such as 2013, the organization also considers revisions and modifications to its bylaws and rules.
During Thursday evening's Opening Session, Hightower and Siegel offered welcoming remarks to the constituents in attendance, focusing on the theme of organizational change in business practices as well as culture.
"This has been a long and exciting year," said Hightower. "As always, all the action on the track and the success of our amazing athletes spoke for itself. But the achievements, accomplishments and, frankly, the change beneath the surface at USA Track & Field, organization-wide, is what marked 2013 for me."
Due in large part to significant, organizational restructuring in the last 12 months, USATF has redefined business practices and evolved both internal and external interactions with constituents and the general public.
Hightower then introduced the change agent and the resilient face of leadership, Siegel, who has served as CEO since May 2012.
Siegel addressed the USATF's changes in business and financial policies over his tenure, including $295,000 of savings related to television broadcasts in 2013 and a gain of over $250,000 in revenue and cost savings to the organization in the last year gained from new investment policies.
With that, Siegel noted the doubling of prize money at national championships for elite athletes for the first time in 13 years and announced USATF's intention to continue and further that in years to come.
Siegel went over the growth of the organization in the last year, including USATF's partnership with Neustar in hosting the .US National Road Racing Championships, as well as the establishment of a for-profit entity, USATF LLC, to handle USA Track & Field's commercial ventures, including broadcasting, licensing and other revenue-generating projects.
"With our collaboration with Neustar, we were able to produce our biggest single-event sponsorship in 11 years, the .US National Road Racing Championships," Siegel said. "In our first year, it was a success and built a foundation for years to come.
"In June, USA Track & Field launched USATF.tv, which significantly improved all of our event broadcasts, but more importantly expanded the type of content we webcast, including creative content and features," Siegel continued. "USATF.tv not only enhances the coverage of the sport but allows the organization to feature stories and events that may not be told elsewhere."
Siegel was followed at the podium by USATF business partners and leaders, who gave personal accounts of the positive change they have witnessed.
Hall of Famer and USATF board member, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Hall of Famer Dan O'Brien, Senior Vice President of Programming with NBC Olympics Peter Diamond, Vice President of Global Running and Track & Field Sports Marketing for Nike John Capriotti, USATF Associations Chair Karen Krsak, 2013 .US National Road Racing Champion Aaron Braun and four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross spoke about their experiences with USATF in 2013.
Capriotti discussed USATF's previous relationship with Nike and impressively stated that "the relationship between Nike and USATF is the best it has been in my 21 years at Nike."
Krsak discussed her many roles within the organization and spoke to the true growth she has seen since Siegel's hiring. Krsak acknowledged "no one is going to agree all the time but there is a mindset where the committee is truly at the table and a partner in USATF. That is a first for us and I truly think Max Siegel is the right leader for USATF."
Braun addressed the room and recapped his participation in USATF's flagship road race, noting that it has kept his 2016 dreams alive to compete in Rio. Braun also acknowledged the dedication Siegel and USATF has shown to the long distance running (LDR) community and expressed his appreciation for their support of distance athletes.
"The creation of the .US National Championships proves to me and the long distance running community that Max is supportive of us and invested in supporting all divisions of USATF, including athletes like me," Braun noted.
The last to speak at the Opening General Session was Richards-Ross, who admitted that she was naturally skeptical about another change in USATF leadership.
"When USATF came to me about the USATF:36 show for USATF.tv, I was absolutely on board but was still a little skeptical about Max," Richards-Ross said. "When I signed on to do my reality show, I called USATF and asked if someone could represent them at the premiere. You can imagine my surprise when Max himself showed up.
"But it wasn't until Max came to the Elite Athlete Summit that I understood why USATF was truly poised to make some really big changes," Richards-Ross continued. "He sat in the back and listened to us for two days straight. When it came time for him to address us, I knew he was the right man for the job.
"Great leaders can't do their jobs without great support and I support Max 100%," Richards-Ross finished.
The Opening General Session was capped off with the 2013 Year in Review, which highlighted the best moments of the 2013 season. Attendees then got the chance to mingle at the Welcome Reception, which was held in the gorgeous Grand Ballroom at the JW Marriott Indianapolis.
212 Countries, One Ticket: In keeping with the site of the IAAF World Junior Championships, the 2014 USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships return to Eugene, Ore., giving American athletes the best opportunity for success by competing at historic Hayward Field. Saturday and Sunday, July 5-6, Eugene welcomes the best American athletes under 20 in anticipation of World Juniors.
