More BoCo families to be eligible for help with child care
0Boulder County expanding access to quality child care assistance by raising qualifying income limits
Boulder County, Colo. – As increasing numbers of families in Boulder County struggle with economic challenges, the county is expanding access to quality child care assistance to help them re-establish their self-sufficiency.
Effective July 1, Boulder County will raise Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) income limits by over 25%. Previously, a family with income above 185% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) was ineligible for financial assistance for child care. Under the expanded eligibility guidelines, a Boulder County family can now have income up to 225% of the FPL and still qualify. As an example, for a family of three, this increases monthly income limits from $2,857 to $3,580. The expansion was requested by the Boulder County Department of Housing and Human Services (DHHS) and approved by county commissioners.
"Work supports are a crucial part of an economic recovery," said Jennifer Eads, director of DHHS' Self-Sufficiency and Community Support Division. "The more we can do to help parents find jobs or complete their education, the better their chances are for re-building a lasting foundation for their families."
An important part of Boulder County DHHS' mission is removing barriers to work for families struggling to sustain themselves. CCAP provides crucial supports for parents and caregivers who are looking for a job or who are employed but are unable to afford quality care for their children. Boulder County's expansion of this program recognizes both the ongoing employment challenges and the high cost of living in the county.
Boulder County Commissioner Deb Gardner said she was happy to support the eligibility expansion. "This has been a difficult past few years for so many of our neighbors," Gardner said. "If we are going to have a real and lasting recovery, we need to help people get back on their feet."
Currently, parents and caregivers of nearly 1,000 children are receiving child care assistance through CCAP in Boulder County. Quality child care providers across Boulder County accept CCAP payments. The county currently receives about ten applications per month from families above 185% of the FPL. Of the seventeen Colorado counties now allowing incomes up to 225% of the FPL, Boulder County is the largest in terms of population.
Christina Ostrom, Boulder County's Family and Resident Support Services Division Manager, oversees the CCAP program and the county's partnership with Aspen Family Services, which administers the eligibility portion of the program. "I'm thrilled that Boulder County is able to increase the income limit for families struggling to pay child care costs," she says. "Many families don't realize they are eligible, and hopefully now they'll call for a screening."
The CCAP expansion will be funded through revenue generated by the Temporary Human Services Safety Net (TSN). The TSN (Ballot Initiative 1A) was approved by voters in November 2010, and is a five-year increase in property taxes that is designed to backfill cuts to state funding for human services in Boulder County.
CCAP Eligibility and other requirements are available at www.bouldercountychildcare.org or by calling Aspen Family Services at 303-604-1043, extension 2828.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I've long been a believer that dividends represent more than just cash that is returned to shareholders; more than just yield. We all know that there are things companies can do that can fool investors, which may or may not be the intention. They can manipulate their earnings, they can announce stock buybacks, and never follow through, but they can't manipulate their dividends.
In my view, when companies raise their dividend year in and year out, it can be a good indicator not only of financial health, but also of confident management. This is also something that cannot be faked, for very long anyway.
Companies that raise their payouts to the point of unsustainability ultimately risk having to cut their dividends, which is rarely, if ever, viewed positively by the markets. In a way, this creates a system of checks and balances.
The past couple of years I've run a stock screen early in January designed to identify smaller companies that not only have a strong record of dividend growth, but also appear to have the ability to continue raising their dividends in the future. The level of yield here is not of great concern to me, and this is certainly not an income generation strategy.
The search criteria that I employ for this strategy includes the following parameters:- Market caps between $500 million and $2 billion
- Dividend increases in at least each of the past five years
- Long term debt to equity ratios less than 50%
- Dividend payout ratios less than 50% for the trailing 12 months, and last two fiscal years

(Newser) – An Air Force ritual devolved into an all-out melee last week that left 30 cadets injured and six hospitalized—with concussions, cuts, and an arm bite, NBC News reports. It was all part of the unauthorized "First Shirt/First Snow" ritual, in which cadets toss a sergeant into a snow bank at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. Not too surprisingly, the rite has led to melees and injuries the past couple of years. "Obviously, this has gotten out of hand and cannot be repeated," wrote Brig. Gen. Dana Born to school administrators.
Just how does the ritual turn into a massive melee? When "upperclassmen defending the first sergeant" begin brawling with "the four degrees trying to capture the first sergeant," wrote Born, according to the Air Force Times. But a new commander at the school says he may allow the sergeant-tossing to continue if cadets can do it nicely. "Our Air Force expects better," says Brig. Gen. Greg Lengyel. "I expect better, and I'm confident the cadets will learn and grow from this."

Fans attending KROQ's annual Weenie Roast over the weekend got a surprise when Stone Temple Pilots took the stage unannounced, for a set with Chester Bennington of Linkin Park as lead vocalist.
Scott Weiland was fired yesterday by Stone Temple Pilots.
This morning, Stone Temple Pilots announced the firing of singer Scott Weiland in a brief, straight-to-the-point news release: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland."
ABC News Radio is reporting that Velvet Revolver have official reunited with singer Scott Weiland, with the band tentatively planning to tour later in the year.
Later this year, Stone Temple Pilots will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Core, by playing the album in its entirety during a run of shows which kick off September 1.
Stone Temple Pilots have announced a June release for a new live DVD/Blu-Ray, Alive In The Windy City.
Last night, the original Velvet Revolver lineup - Slash, Scott Weiland, Dave Kushner, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan -- took the stage together for the first time in nearly four years.
It's another unseasonably hot summer day in Burbank, California. But inside a small rehearsal and recording studio on the city's industrial outskirts, five musicians are staying remarkably cool, even as they rack their brains to remember how to play a new song they're practicing.
As previously reported, Velvet Revolver will be reuniting with singer Scott Weiland for a one-off performance at an upcoming charity gig in honor of late songwriter John O'Brien. The concert, titled 'Love You Madly: A Concert for John O'Brien,' will take place on January 12 at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland has just debuted a new music video in support of his new Christmas album, The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. You can watch the video for "Winter Wonderland" below.

The European Commission said a top level meeting today would consider the implications from the opinion published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on 30 September.
Health and consumer policy Commissioner John Dalli said the health uncertainties pinpointed by the food safety watchdog would be scrutinised at the gathering with food contact material experts from across the economic bloc.
He cautioned that further action against BPA may be necessary, even though EFSA said it had found no scientific evidence to support the case for lowering the tolerable daily intake (TDI) for the substance.
"The opinion delivered by EFSA last week confirms the current tolerable daily intake, but it also directs to areas of uncertainty, based on new studies," said Dalli. "According to the opinion, 'at present the relevance of these findings for human health cannot be assessed'."
He added: "It cannot be excluded that there might be an effect on the development, immune response or tumour promotion. This is a new element which will have to be taken into account in possible action to be taken by the Commission".
Infant exposure
The Commission said it noted that both Denmark and France had introduced unilateral national bans on BPA in polycarbonate bottles for infants – the section of the population with highest exposure to BPA.
"In view of the uncertainties expressed in EFSA's opinion, the Commission will consider how exposure to BPA of this part of the population could be reduced as low as possible," said the body in a statement yesterday.
The Commission said today's meeting would mark the beginning of a discussion with member states of "possible options to achieve" cutting infant exposure to BPA.
Both France and Denmark confirmed they had no immediate plans to lift their BPA bans despite the opinion from EFSA which said current daily safe exposure levels posed no health concerns. The Danish Government told FoodProductionDaily.com it would only lift its prohibition on BPA in food contact materials for children aged three and under if the European Commission imposed an identical EU-wide ban.

In limited situations, an employer may pay an employee ½ their regular hourly rate for all overtime hours worked and be in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. In order to be compliant with the FLSA, the Employer must satisfy pre-requisites and it has the burden of proof. Generally, an employer must pay all non-exempt employees at least one and one half times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 hours in a week. 29 USC Section 207(a)1. The Fluctuating Work Week (FWW) method of calculating compensation, found at CFR Section 778.114 is used only if the following requirements are met:
- the employee's hours fluctuate from week to week;
- the employee receives a fixed weekly salary which remains the same regardless of the number of hours worked during the week; (any deductions for missing time by employee negates the application of the FWW method).
- the fixed amount is sufficient to provide compensation at a regular rate not less than the legal minimum wage;
- the employer and the employee have a clear and mutual understanding that the employer will pay the employee a fixed salary regardless of the number of hours worked; and
- the employee receives a fifty percent (%50) overtime premium in addition to the fixed weekly salary for all hours worked in excess of 40 during the week.
Any employee receiving bonuses or commissions in addition to their salary destroys the application of the FWW and ½ time pay. If the employee's hours are fixed (such as scheduled for 50 hours every week), the FWW cannot apply, as the requisite fluctuating hours are missing.
In this FWW method, the employee's regular rate of pay is determined by dividing the fixed salary by the total number of hours worked during the week. Then the employee is paid ½ this regular rate of pay for all hours in excess of 40 hours instead of 1.5 times the regular rate of pay. If the total hours worked are large and the salary small, the employee may in reality earn less than minimum wage and also destroy the application of the FWW or ½ time pay.
An employer that fails to properly pay an employee the ½ time for all overtime wages worked may not be able to rely upon the FWW if a claim or lawsuit is brought to recover overtime wages under the FLSA where the employee was misclassified as EXEMPT from overtime wages by the Employer. Most recently in the 11 th Circuit, the Middle District of Florida held that an employer was foreclosed from using the FWW, ½ time pay in a misclassification case and Ordering that any award of overtime wages shall be at time and a half (one and one half the employee's regular rate of pay). Delia West v. Verizon Services Corp., (M.D. Fl. 2011)
Remember, classifying an employee as a salaried employee has no bearing on whether the employee is entitled to overtime wages under the FLSA. An employer may not be able to retro-actively apply the FWW method to cheat an employee out of 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for all overtime wages worked. As one court so eloquently stated regarding why retro-application of the FWW should not be permitted:
"The significance of the employee's lack of knowledge of non-exempt status cannot be overstated. The fundamental assumption underpinning the FWW is that it is fair to use it to calculate overtime pay because the employee consented to the payment scheme. But in the context of an FLSA misclassification suit when consent is inferred from the employee's conduct, that conduct will always, by definition, have been based on the false assumption that he was not entitled to overtime compensation. The job will have been advertised as a salaried position. The employee, if he raised the issue, will have been told that the salary is all he will receive, regardless of how many hours he works. That is the very nature of a salaried, exempt position. When it turns out that the employer is wrong, and it is learned that the FLSA required the employer to pay the employee an overtime premium, the notion that the employee's conduct before he knew this is evidence that the employee somehow consented to a calculation method for the overtime pay that no one even knew was due, is perverse. If the FWW requires consent in some fashion, the employee's actions before he knew he was due overtime pay just cannot logically be the basis of that consent."
ABIGAIL F. RANSOM, et al. v. M. PATEL ENTERS., INC., et al, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, AUSTIN DIVISION
Courts interpreting the FWW have found that an employer's payment of premiums for off-shore, day-off or holiday work assignments has violated the FLSA requirement that the employee receive a fixed salary. See, e.g. Brumley v. Camin Cargo Control, Inc ., No. 08-1798 (JLL), 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126785, 2010 WL 1644066 *6-7 (D.N.J. Apr. 22, 2010). Also Courts have also found that the payment of other shift premiums to employees precludes application of the FWW method. See, e.g. O'Brien v. Town of Agawam , 350 F.3d 279, 288-89 (1st Cir. 2003) (payment of a $10 night shift differential to police officers was inconsistent with the fixed salary requirement for application of the FWW method); Dooley v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co ., 369 F.Supp. 2d 81, 85-86 (D.Mass. 2005) (payment of a premium rate for Saturday work when less than 40 hours have been worked precludes application of the FWW method).
Under the FWW, employers are not al-lowed to make deductions to an employee's fixed salary for sick leave or vacation leave, even if the employee has not yet accrued sufficient leave to cover their absence. Hunter v. Sprint Corp ., 453 F.Supp.2d 44, 60-61 (D.D.C. 2006). .In the 5th Circuit case of Donovan v. Brown Equipment & Service Tools Inc ., 666 F.2d 148, 154, for there to be considered irregular hours within meaning of section 7(f) of the FLSA 29 USC 207(f), there must be in a significant number of weeks, hours below forth hours as well as above.
In Rainey v. American Forest & Paper Association , the court analyzed section 778.114 and found that its requirements include a clear mutual understanding that the employee is entitled to overtime compensation and contemporaneous payment of overtime premiums. 26 F. Supp. 2d 82, 99-102 (D.D.C. 1998); see also Hunter v. Sprint Corp ., 453 F. Supp. 2d 44, 58-62 (D.D.C. 2006) (discussing application of the FWW method in a misclassification case). Other courts have rejected the use of the FWW method in misclassification cases because there is no contemporaneous payment of overtime compensation in such cases. See, e.g., Cowan v. Treetop Enters ., 163 F. Supp. 2d 930, 941 (M.D. Tenn. 2001) (citing Rainey ); Scott v. OTS Inc ., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15014, 2006 WL 870369, (N.D. Ga.) (citing Rainey ). The "contemporaneous payment of overtime compensation is a necessary prerequisite for application of the fluctuating workweek method." Rainey v. American Forest & Paper Ass'n, Inc ., 26 F. Supp. 2d 82, 100 (D. D.C. 1998); see also Cowan v. Treetop Enters., Inc., 163 F. Supp. 2d 930, 941 (M.D. Tenn. 2001) (explaining that section 773.114 "requires a contemporaneous payment of the half-time premium for an employer to avail itself of the fluctuating workweek provision"). Courts find support for this contemporaneous payment requirement in the text of section 778.114, which states "[w]here all facts indicate that an employee is being paid for his overtime hours at a rate of no greater than that which he receives for non-overtime hours, compliance with the Act cannot be rested on any application of the fluctuating workweek overtime formula." See also Russell v. Wells Fargo & Co. , 672 F. Supp. 2d 1008, 1012 (N.D. Cal. 2009) (finding section §773.114 requires the contemporaneous provision of overtime pay). This reasoning leads those courts that have adopted it to the conclusion that 29 C.F.R. § 778.114 is not satisfied where an employee merely received his salary and did not receive any overtime payments at the time the overtime was worked, such as in a misclassification case. Courts following this line of authority, therefore, conclude that misclassified employees are entitled to time-and-one-half their regular rate of pay for all overtime hours worked. Russell , 672 F. Supp. 2d 1008.
Thus, the background and policy of the FLSA, the Supreme Court's decision in Overnight Motor Overnight Motor Transportation Co., Inc. v. Missel - 316 U.S. 572 (1942) and the DOL's 1968 interpretive rules demonstrate that the FWW method cannot be used to calculate overtime pay retroactively for the purposes of determining damages under the FLSA in a misclassification case. Section 778.114, which the DOL promulgated in light of Overnight Motor, provides legal prerequisites that cannot be satisfied in a misclassification case. See also Monte Russell and Daniel Freedman v. Wells Fargo and Company , 672 F.supp 2d 1008. N.D. Cal., F.Supp. 2d 1008; 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 107044;
In Perkins v. Southern New England Telephone Co ., 2011 WL 4460248 (D.Conn. 2011), Judge Janet Hall of the District of Connecticut held that the employees were required to be paid one and one half times their regular rate of pay for all overtime hours, rejecting the FWW and ½ time pay in this misclassification case. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and the 7th Circuit REJECT the application of the FWW (CFR 778.114) and the ½ time pay in misclassification cases. Urnikis-Negro v. Am. Family Prop. Servs ., 616 F.3d 665, 681 (7th Cir.2010); Russell v. Wells Fargo & Co. , 672 F.Supp.2d 1008, 1013 (N.D.Cal.2009); Ayers v. SGS Control Servs ., Inc., 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19634 at *40-42 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 27, 2007); Rainey v. Am. Forest & Paper Assoc., Inc. , 26 F.2d 82, 100-02 (D.D.C.1998).
As Judge Hall stated: "Although several circuits have applied section 778.114 in a misclassification case, the court does not find those decisions to be particularly persuasive, especially given the lack of analysis regarding the difference between applying the fluctuating workweek method prospectively- where both the employer and the employee have agreed regarding compensation- and retrospectively-when the employer has made a unilateral, and incorrect, decision that an employee is exempt from being paid overtime at all. The court agrees with other district courts that have held that the plain language of section 778.114 requires that, in order to employ the fluctuating workweek method of overtime compensation, an employer-pursuant to a clear agreement- must contemporaneously pay employees an overtime premium of one-half the regular rate for overtime hours. See 29 C.F.R. § 778.114 ("... such a salary arrangement is permitted ... if the amount of the salary is sufficient to provide compensation to the employee at a rate not less than the applicable minimum wage ... and if he receives extra compensation, in addition to such salary, for all overtime hours worked.") (emphasis added). As SNET has not paid contemporaneous overtime premiums, section 778.114 is inapplicable to this case.
See also McCumber v. Eye Care Center of America, Inc. M.D. La, and Desmond v. PNGI Charles Town Gaming, L.L.C . , (4 th Cir 2011).
Whether the employer can lawfully escape being held liable to pay time and a half for all overtime wages after failing to pay employees anything and treating them as exempt, still may be the case in some instances depending upon the jurisdiction and the facts. Several courts of appeal have held that employers can benefit from retroactive application of the fluctuating workweek. See Clements v. Serco, Inc .,530 F.3d 1224, 1230-31 (10 th Cir.2008); Valerio v. Putnam Assocs. Inc ., 173 F.3d 35, 40 (1st Cir.1999); Blackmon v. Brookshire Grocery Co., 835 F.2d 1135, 1138 (5th Cir.1988). In such cases, the Employer is financially rewarded for misclassifying employees and exempt and NOT paying time and half because even if found to be in violation of the FLSA, paying ½ time plus liquidate damages is substantially less than paying time and one half plus liquidated damages.
Feldman Morgado , extensively practices in the area of labor and employment law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in Florida and throughout the U.S. Any employee working in excess of 40 hours per week and NOT being compensated at one and one half (1.5) their regular rate of pay for all overtime hours should contact a labor and employment attorney to review the facts. The Statute of Limitations to claim unpaid overtime wages is generally 2 years, unless it can be proven the failure to properly compensate the employee was willful, in which case the Statute of Limitations can be extended to 3 years. What this means is that if an employee has been working longer than 2 years without being paid a full time and a half for overtime wages, these sums are lost forever or not recoverable generally. Time is of the essence.

Time for a quick Recruiter rant. Dress for success. It seems this would be common knowledge for most but it is usually included in every interview tip article out there. As part of my send-out candidate prep, I admit to mentioning this tip but does it hold any merit? There are recruiting tales of candidates showing up in sweatpants, golf clothes, surgical scrubs- you name it, but are these just urban legends? It makes for a great Question of the Day: What is the worst thing a candidate showed up to an interview wearing?
Tags: Candidate, Interview, Recruiter, Recruiting
It wasn't necessarily what they were wearing, but they had their pants zipper down the whole time. Attention to detail is important...they did not get the job :(
Has to be the guy who showed up wearing cut off jean shorts and a tee shirt.
I had a guy show up as a walking wrinkle. Literally, the most wrinkled clothing I've ever seen. I mean, he was worse than my sons were at 16! Needed a shave and wore blown out shoes, too!
Since he was a referral (yikes!) I mentioned to him that one typically dressed appropriately for a job interview. His response was that the job (as a driver) wasn't that important and that he had been told by his youth pastor that what he wore didn't matter. Needless to say...
There was another guy who desperately needed work and he just looked shabby. I asked him a few questions and found out that he had worn the best that he owned. I hired him and he has been one of our best drivers. Just goes to show that you never can tell.
A smart pinstripe suit... and purple Crocs!!!
@ Kerris - reminded me of a recruiter friend of mien who had a candidate show up in a smart pinstrie suit... and pearls!
Would have been o.k., if it had been a female candidate. :)
There's no accounting for taste Amber!!! :-)
coincidentally, I just saw this online:
He seems to have just wandered in looking for work rather than being invited for interview but still.....
I'd rather have candidates wearing clothes, albeit completely inappropriate ones!!
A girll that showed up in a bikini and unbutton blouse and flipflops because she and her friends were going to the beach. And by the way could we hurry, they had a big day planned - sure go ahead we're done here!
One guy showed up in a tattered and frayed shirt, stained tie, suit too small and pants too short, holes in his socks that were mismatched, green teeth and greenish brown in between his teeth, filthy glasses (how could he see?), shoes with holes in the bottom and scuffed beyond belief, and he smelled as if he hadn't showered in over a week. His credentials were good so we had the interview. He was making $250K a year - I verified it!
I once had a candidate show up wearing a tie with a wolf howling at the moon, coupled with a Bluetooth which he never took out as well as sunglasses which he wore indoors. Needless to say he didn't get the job.
It wasn't what they showed up at the interview wearing..it was what they WERE NOT wearing that was the issue. I had a candidate show up for VP level position within Banking/Global Markets in Downtown Boston barefoot. No shoes..no socks. He told the Hiring Manager he "lost them" on the way to the interview.
I also had someone take their teeth(dentures) out of their mouth in the middle of the interview...
That is why I love recruiting!!
My candidate showed up for her interview in a maternity dress which may qualify as not the best way to present yourself to a hiring manager looking to fill a job ASAP.
The hiring manager was taken aback...called me and asked if I knew her condition. I asked, "What condition?" He said, "I'm guessing she's about seven months pregnant." I paused, "Wow. It never came up and it's certainly a question I could not and would not ask."
He laughed and said, "She's great. She apologized for her condition and explained why she did not tell you. I like her and extended her an offer and she's accepted. I will authorize maternity leave and need you to put that statement in the offer letter. Thanks, she'll be a great addition to the team."
His lunch. He barfed all over himself and the HR lady. Then he collapsed on the floor and was carried away by an ambulance. To their credit, the company hired him a couple of weeks later (over the strong objections of an HR lady. He stayed with them for fifteen years and then retired.

In this day of fast food media, social media, internet, television and every other way to get your fix of what goes on in the world, it's all about keeping up with the Jones's.
And that's what the Frontier Conference and its member schools appear to be doing.
In the last year, the Frontier Conference has not only done some internal work to strengthen the league as a whole, it's also doing plenty to reach a broader audience.
The first major move the conference made was to expand, and I for one am excited about the future of the league. To align itself with a strong university like Dickinson State, and to add another football member like Southern Oregon certainly strengthens an already powerful conference.
But as good as the Frontier has been in athletics over the years, sometimes, you have to use a scream instead of a whisper to take notice. Especially when your league is predominantly in Montana. Let's face it, most people west of the Mississippi still think we ride to school on horseback and that winter lasts all year round.
It's that kind of thinking when it comes to college sports which has left the Frontier with an uneven amount of respect in the NAIA over the years, despite Carroll College's success in football, despite a powerhouse volleyball program at Lewis-Clark State and despite Frontier basketball being some of the best hoops top to bottom in all of the NAIA. In fact, ask even a strong NAIA fan from New York or Florida what year Rocky Mountain College won the NAIA men's basketball national championship, and they'll probably answer that they didn't know Rocky did that.
At times we're isolated in Montana and to be honest, that's one of the things most native Montanan's love about where they live, me included. This is our big, special part of the country, and ours alone.
But it's also, at times held the Frontier Conference back from getting the national respect it deserves.
Outside of Carroll College in football, and maybe LC State in volleyball, the NAIA's power struggle generally resides from the heartland east and into the deep south. And no matter how good a Montana State University-Northern is in football or basketball, or a Montana Tech is in football or a University of Great Falls is in soccer, our Frontier schools don't have the visibility that other leagues have.
And that's why I'm excited about all that the Frontier is doing to change that. The league has signed a deal with Lyon Productions to broadcast every football and basketball game live on the internet. The broadcasts will reach anyone who can log on, and will feature multiple camera angles, graphics and an impartial announcer, just like live television coverage.
The league is also starting over with its television possibilities too. This coming football season, five Frontier Conference games will be broadcast on local CW stations across Montana. This will be the first time in more than seven years that multiple, regular season Frontier games will be seen statewide on television.
Even the league's decision to broadcast its annual football coaches meeting last week in Great Falls on the internet was a big step forward. The press conference, with all of the league's football coaches was interesting and informative, and it was just another example of the Frontier being proactive about presenting its great product to the masses.
To make the conference more accessible to fans near and far is a smart and great decision, and it will only enhance the conference's visibility and make it even more of a viable commodity in NAIA athletics.
So kudos goes out to Frontier Conference commissioner Kent Paulson, to all of the league's administrators and coaches, and especially to all of the Frontier's schools for helping to make big things happen.
Change is good, and the changes the Frontier Conference is making will enrich all of us who are a part of or are a fan of the league we love to follow.

These bracelets are crocheted on a non-stretch cord with delicate seed beads that are originally made from glass.
Same Sky employs HIV positive women in Rwanda and Zambia as artisans. Same Sky artisans earn a wage that is substantially greater than the average wage of most women in sub Saharan Africa. All net proceeds are reinvested into the business to buy more materials, employ more women and expand into new regions.

Grammys viewership drops sharply, but still draws second largest audience since 1994
30 percent from last year
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Viewership for Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony on CBS dropped nearly 30 percent from last year, but was still the second-largest audience since 1994, according to figures released today by Nielsen.
Despite the 28.9 percent decline, the 28.37 million viewers who tuned in for the Staples Center ceremony was the largest audience for an entertainment program this prime-time television season, topping the previous high of 22.86 million for the Jan. 15 episode of the CBS drama "NCIS," time zone-adjusted fast national ratings show.
The 2012 Grammy ceremony, which came one day after the death of singing star Whitney Houston, averaged 39.91 million viewers, the second largest audience in its history.
The Grammy record is 51.67 million viewers for the 1984 ceremony, when Michael Jackson, at the height of his popularity, won a record eight Grammys.
That telecast came when there were just three major broadcast networks and less competition for viewers from cable television, home video and video games.
Final national figures are scheduled to be released Tuesday, but are not expected to change substantially from the preliminary figures.
The Grammy Awards set a social television record for an awards show with more than 18.7 million social media comments, topping the record previously held by the 2012 Grammys by 44 percent, according to the analytics firm Bluefin Labs.
The number of social media comments was the second most for a U.S. television program, trailing only Super Bowl XLVII the previous Sunday.
Whitney Houston's family is free to collect her body from the Los Angeles County coroner's office and make funeral arrangements, a coroner's lieutenant said Monday morning.
Houston's mother has arranged to have the body flown back to Atlanta as early as Tuesday, TMZ reported. While police have placed a security hold on autopsy results, no such hold has been placed on the body, Winter said.
Don Cortez Cornelius, the always immaculately dressed impresario of television's long-running dance show, "Soul Train," didn't just happen to mirror and influence African American culture. He both lived and led it as he followed through on a dance-party concept he had birthed years before.
Every few years or so an artist emerges in the tradition of musicians who have revolutionized the sound and style of the world. Each generation has laid claim to its own iconic artist, from Ray Charles and Dionne Warwick to James Brown and Diana Ross.
The 1980s and early 1990s provided us with five artists who reshaped the music world and introduced a level of superstardom that has yet to be matched.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A top AEG executive referred to Michael Jackson as "a freak" and another called him "creepy" just hours before their company signed the pop icon to a huge concert deal.
The revelation brought an audible gasp in the Los Angeles courtroom at the wrongful death trial Wednesday and left fans crying.
Jackson's mother and children are suing AEG Live for the negligent hiring, retention or supervision of Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Every issue in the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial is so disputed that even giving candy to jurors caused an argument.
AEG lawyers gave a bag of peppermint candy to the bailiff to hand out to the jury this week. Even Katherine Jackson — the pop icon's mother — enjoyed the treat.
But Jackson's lawyer raised an objection Tuesday afternoon, suggesting jurors might be influenced if they realized the source of the sweets.
