Given all this, should women have mammograms every year after age 40, as currently recommended by most health organizations, or start having them every other year?
Kelly Bleyer said after much thought, she's decided to follow the advice of her gynecologist and not her father-in-law.
"I'll keep having a mammogram every year -- my insurance covers it, and I know how my doctor feels about it," she says. "But I'm open to hearing more about what the science says. I think I could live with having it every other year."
Here are some tips for making your own decision about how often to have mammograms:
1. Learn the mammogram guidelines
Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend women get mammograms every year starting at age 40. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advises women to get mammograms every other year starting at 50.
2. Know your family history
Screening recommendations are different for certain groups, such as women with a family history of breast cancer and women who've tested positive for breast cancer genes. See the links above for recommendations.
3. Find out about other screening tools besides mammograms
Ultrasounds, MRIs, breast self-exams and exams performed by your doctor can all be used in addition to mammograms. See the links above.

Vittoria Corsa Evo CX Tire - Tubular
- Item: VIT0008 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 241 g
Sale $54.95
The king of tubular tires, the Vittoria Corsa Evo CX, now comes with an unbelievable 320 TPI Corespun K casing made from alternating Polycotton and Kevlar threads. More TPI means a more supple ride, no matter what PSI you prefer. Vittoria's Compressed Wrap makes use of the highest grade of Corespun casing cord and rubber compounds, resulting in a casing that allows the Polycotton and Kevlar threads to act independently, which reduces surface deflection and rolling resistance while maximizing puncture resistance.
The victory list of the Corsa CX is spectacular, and folks who choose to race on tubies demand the CX more than any other tire we sell. Its herringbone tread pattern provides an ideal combination of traction and low rolling resistance thanks to its Twin Tread Technology where harder tread is placed in the center of the tire where the wear occurs, and a softer compound is used on the shoulder for better grip. A thin, lightweight PRB puncture resistant belt is placed immediately beneath the tread to achieve maximum puncture protection while maintaining low rolling resistance. A latex inner tube further adds to the puncture resistance and also lessens the rolling resistance over butyl rubber tubes. The tread is built with a silica enhanced Kevlar Carbon 3D SiO2 compound to give their tires longer wear life and supreme grip. It's available in 700x21c and 700x23c sizes and has a 42mm presta valve.

The Upson-Lee Knights did not have the season they wished for in 2011-12, but they did beat Taylor County twice last year by scores of 57-56 and 59-57. The same Taylor County team which finished with a 26-3 record, losing to Turner County in the Elite 8 of the (A) State Playoffs last season.
The 2012-13 version of the Knights vs. Vikings did not disappoint, but the thriller ended in a Knights' 68-64 loss Friday night. Upson-Lee freshman O'Qualon Harris had two looks from the perimeter with time running out, but both shots rimmed out.
"I thought we did some good things out there, especially in the second half," said head coach Darrell Lockhart. "I liked the tempo we had out there, and we had a balanced scoring attack, forcing them to guard all of our players closely, rather than focusing on one player. We just have to do a better job of rebounding and making our free throws. I keep telling the guys free throws are going to make us or break us this year."
The Knights made 15 of 26 free throws, which was actually an improvement from their dismal scrimmage game last week.
Both teams started the game with a frantic tempo, pushing the ball up the court, playing man-to-man defense. Upson-Lee's Jalen Searcy was able to penetrate past his man on a regular basi., Searcy scored seven of his 12 points in the first quarter. However, the Knights struggled rebounding the ball, allowing the Vikings to have easy put back buckets. Taylor County led the Knights by a 20-18 score after the first quarter and 38-33 at the half.
In the second half, Taylor County came out firing on all cylinders, sparking an 8-0 run. Trailing 46-33, the Knights and some of their young talent began to take control of the game. Freshmen O'Qualon Harris and Kenderius Pennyman combined to score 12 points in the third quarter. Pennyman hit a big three-pointer to cut the Vikings' lead to 46-40.
In the fourth quarter, the Knights turned up their defensive intensity. However, Upson-Lee went cold from the floor with neither team able to put the ball in the basket. Finally, with 6:21 left in the fourth quarter, Upson-Lee senior Travis Pittman scored on a drive to the basket, cutting the Vikings lead to 51-48. Pittman led the Knights with 15 points, while snatching eight rebounds.
With the Knights closing the gap on the Vikings, Taylor County called a time out to regroup. The packed out ULHS gymnasium rose to it's feet in support of their team.
After the time out, the Vikings went on a 6-0 run of their own, knocking down a three-pointer, and scoring three points the old fashion way, making a lay-up and drawing a foul. At that point the Knights called a time out of their own, trailing 57-48.
With 3:21 left in the game, the Knights defense began to force turnovers on the Vikings ball handlers. The turnovers turned into points for the Knights, and after a Searcy floater fell in off the front of the rim, the Knights and Vikings were all tied up 61-61 with 1:12 left in the game.
The Vikings answered with two field goals of their own to take a four-point lead, but Upson-Lee's Caleb Ward drilled a three-pointer with 21.8 seconds to go, cutting the Vikings lead to 65-64. The Knights were forced to foul, and the Vikings knocked down two clutch free throws to lead 67-64.
With time running out, Harris had an open look at a three-pointer, but his shot fell off the front of the rim. Pittman snatched the rebound and quickly passed the ball back out to Harris, but this time his shot was a little long, and the Vikings grabbed the rebound, sealing their 68-64 victory after making one additional free throw.
Travis Pittman paced the Knights with 15 points, while O'Qualon Harris added 13 points. K.D Pennyman and Jalen Searcy each reached double figures with 12 points. Caleb Ward added seven points, Toby Fuentes and Trey Bussey each scored two points, while JaQualon Willis chipped in with one point in the loss.
The Knights will host the Stockbridge Tigers in their first Region 4 game of the season tonight. The Tigers are 1-0 after defeated Southwest Atlanta Christian (SWAC) by a 76-50 score. Tip off for tonight's contest is slated for 7:30 p.m.

Nice Overall Dart Board and Cabinet
By theDartMan
from Oceanside, CA
About Me Casual Player
Comments about Arachnid Arcade Cabinet with CP650 Electronic Dartboard:
A smart design and great graphics and paint overall. The board itself is great and I like the scoring method, makes it easy to keep track of all the players etc... The darts that come with the game are ok, but flights come off all the time, so I bought some separate bar style darts that are sturdier which were a good addition to the game. Overall, I really like the game. I got the game for a really good price from Sports Authority with the holiday discounts and free shipping and am not displeased with it. Have been playing almost every night along with the new pool table I got around the same time. I was going to get a foosball table instead of the dart game but am really glad I got the dartboard instead since I can practice on my own etc.. and takes up much less space too. Game arrived undamaged even though the box was crushed in a couple of places on the outside. The only thing that did not work well is the magnetic door closer that you have to screw into the door and cabinet. It just would not line up correctly for some reason. I went to home depot and bought a slightly better one so the door will close right. I was able to assemble most of it by myself without too much difficulty. The instructions are adaquate and explain the assembly sufficiently - didn't have to guess on any of the assembly it was all indicated in the instructions, which was nice. I needed another set of hands when I assembled the back of the cabinet. The wood is all cheap pressboard - so be careful with the cabinet until you have it in the place you want it to go. During assembly, you have to stand it up and screw in the thin 2 piece wood backing. The cabinet almost fell over a couple of times, so I had to have someone hold it up some while I screwed it all in. There are lots of screws so plan on using an electric screwdriver. Other than that, it is not overpriced for what you get. Looks great in my garage/game room.

About Me Amateur Competitor
The dart board is good product. There were a few more bounce outs than I would expect, but not too many to be frustrating. Electronics quit working after about 20-30 hours of use.
Good Enough

from Kansas
About Me Beginner
I am a beginner but have played some in bars. I took it out of box and had it put together in a couple of hours. It went together easily. I did need to add a light to see better. It is a good board but I wouldve paid more for an upgraded board like the 850. I have 2 friends that like it enough they are going to buy one for themselves.

Art Deco Divine: Diamond Platinum Pendant
Art Deco design prides itself on the employment of bold geometric forms. Although Art Deco jewelry is almost always dramatic in presentation, this unusual platinum pendant displays its fine construction along with an understated sophistication.
Bordered with platinum and with corners clipped, a carved rectangle of rock crystal is centered with an estimated .37 carat old European cut diamond. From this central gem accented with mille grain platinum bezel radiates an etched starburst pattern with rays reaching out to touch the very perimeter of the frosty white crystal.
Placed at each of the cardinal points of the plaque are four (4) triangular shaped diamonds with a total estimated diamond weight of 2.77 carats. All within a platinum lozenge embellished with forty-eight (48) old European cut diamonds with an estimated total diamond weight of .96 carats and four (4) baguette diamonds of a total .07 carats for an estimated grand total of 4.17 carats of diamond weight. A simple platinum bale completes the fine period piece.
Date: Circa 1935.
Measurements: 2-1/16 inches (5.2 cm) in length including bale by 1-1/4 inches (3.2 cm) in width by just over 1/4 of an inch (0.6 cm) in depth. Weight of 9.5 grams (6.1 dwt).
Hallmarks: Maker's marks possibly "C&A"; "57777"; "MD".
Condition: Excellent.
Origin: American.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

Free, nine-part series
Climate change primer presented online by WSU Extension
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
By Bob Hoffmann, College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences
WSU Extension Soil Scientist Craig Cogger explains growing cycles at the Puyallup Field Day. Photo courtesy of WSU Extension.
PUYALLUP, Wash. - A series of nine online presentations available through Washington State University summarizes, in easy-to-understand words and images, the science of climate change and its implications for humans and ecosystems.
Craig Cogger, a soil scientist at WSU Extension and creator of the peer-reviewed presentations, notes that much confusion exists among the public, media and decision makers about the science of climate change and the future implications of a changing climate. To access the free presentations click the following link to the WSU Extension Puyallup climate change website.
The presentations, each under 10 minutes, is composed of a narrated slide show discussing:
- what the science really tells us
- evidence for current climate change
- climate models
- predictions for the coming decades
- what to expect from climate change
- how to respond to climate disruption
In agriculture, Cogger states that the outlook for climate change is mixed. Many areas will see negative consequences, as droughts become more severe, extreme storm events become more likely to damage crops, and higher temperatures reduce crop productivity. Shrinking snow packs will reduce irrigation resources in the western US, South America and parts of Asia. The final presentation reviews policy options for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to change.
Cogger has had a personal interest in weather and climate for many years, and has studied scientific papers on climate change, including reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
"When you compare what you read in the newspaper with what the science says," Cogger said, "you miss a lot of nuance, and even the thrust of what is going on."
Local WSU Master Gardeners were interested in the implications of climate change for gardening, so he began to make presentations for them. Soon after, Cogger said, he was presenting to local church and civic groups, and based on the feedback he received, decided to put the series online.
Cogger's professional research includes the role of soil amendments in carbon sequestration and how organic soil amendments might emit nitrous oxide, one greenhouse gas.

It has become a permanent fixture on the football calendar, and as the NFL prepares to descend on London once again, it seems a permanent touchdown is fast approaching.
As the New England Patriots and St. Louis Rams jet in for Sunday's sixth annual regular season clash at Wembley Stadium, there is a growing sense that an NFL franchise could be based fulltime in the British capital before this decade is out.
With the league having voted to persist with the experiment until at least 2016, and the Jacksonville Jaguars committing to four years of visits to London, the NFL is hoping to build on the spike in interest since landing firm feet on foreign shores in 2005.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed at the announcement of this new affirmation to overseas football that the latest deal would increase the swell of support for the game -- likely to be necessary if a franchise is to flourish across the Atlantic.
But if a team is to base itself in Europe, be it in London or anywhere else, it must commit to ingraining the culture of the game in the city it adopts as a new home and guard against antagonizing U.S.-based fans, according to sports business expert Simon Chadwick.
"Successful overseas expansion will require the NFL to create and embed a culture of American football in overseas territories which will need them to successfully engage with local stakeholders," he told CNN.
"As for us fans, it is important they see that the sport's core values and traditional markets are not being compromised or undermined by overseas expansion.
"Moreover, I think the NFL has to 'sell' expansion to existing fans as being important for the future sustainability and success of the sport."
Building a fan base
If a franchise was to touch down in London, its success would hinge on the following it attracts -- something the league has been trying to build since the first regular-season match between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins drew a crowd of 81,000 to Wembley in 2007.

Case study The British Council
Team working
The British Council deployed social network analysis to help managers understand how knowledge is shared in the organisation and what they could do to make knowledge sharing more effective.
By Bonnie Cheuk
The main purpose of the British Council is to build mutually beneficial relationships between people in the UK and other countries, to promote the English language and to increase appreciation of the UKs creative ideas and achievements. Its remit is broadly analogous to that of Alliance Française in France, the Goethe-Institut in Germany and the Confucius Institute in China.
But with offices in more than 110 countries and 7,000 staff working towards the same goals but in a diverse range of cultures, there is a clear need for knowledge sharing, which certainly is not easy to introduce among such a widely dispersed workforce.
The British Council is therefore no stranger to knowledge management (KM). Its KM programme was officially launched in December 2002 with the appointment of a KM director. A year later, its KM strategy was approved and unveiled following an in-depth knowledge audit.
The British Councils KM vision is to enable the organisation to develop and deliver products and services to clients by facilitating the effective sharing and utilisation of collective knowledge including, especially, easy access to relevant documents and resources.
In the past two years, the British Councils KM activities have accelerated with the launch of a number of KM projects and increasing awareness and support from senior management. Specific projects that are now being embedded in the organisation include:
- A knowledge audit conducted using Dr Brenda Dervins sense-making methodology [REF 1];
- Development of KM strategies for individual business units;
- Building communities of practice using my own Seven-Phase Methodology [REF 2];
- Enhancement of the intranet, collaboration tools and global databases;
- Applying social network analysis (SNA) to support collaborative working (Anklam, 2003; Cross & Parker, 2004) [REF 3];
- Applying narrative techniques to conduct project debriefs.
In 2005, KM was widely recognised as an enabler to deliver the British Councils overall business strategy. More than 100 knowledge champions worldwide have been recruited, attending training on KM to provide them with the tools and more than 70 global communities of practice (CoPs) have been established [REF 4].
Business context
During 2004 and 2005, the overseas operations of the British Council were significantly re-structured. Thirteen regions were introduced to replace the existing country operations, which had been managed as individual entities. Each new region is made up of a number of existing country operations.
Thirteen regional directors were also appointed. They have to work closely with the 17 senior management team members based in the UK to set the strategic direction for the organisation. This 30-person team is referred to as the global leadership team.
The restructuring provided an excellent opportunity to promote knowledge sharing beyond country operations, as well as between overseas operations and the UK headquarters. However, it has also presented a challenge. Any organisational re-structure leads to the creation of new teams, which can be to the detriment of any existing knowledge-sharing culture. This presents a challenge to the knowledge-management team.
Before the formal establishment of the British Councils KM strategy in 2003, the organisation took a traditional view of knowledge, defining it as information and documents that can be managed as objects. Knowledge management was regarded as little more than the sharing of documents and information on the intranet or via global databases.
The British Council, post-2003, employed Dr Brenda Dervins sense-making theory to provide the organisation with an alternative perspective in knowledge sharing.
After 2003, knowledge was no longer regarded as a product that can simply be transferred from one colleague to another, but as a two-way communication practice. In addition to connecting employees to information using KM systems, we began to focus on trying to facilitate genuine dialogue between staff. Instead of asking the question, what information should we manage? we began to ask the question, who should be linked up?
During this phase of implementation, we focused on providing space for dialogue by building global CoPs and virtual teams. We appointed facilitators to manage these communities and supported them with web-based collaboration tools. Social-network analysis was also deployed as a diagnostic tool to support team building, as well as to evaluate the performance of the communities.
SNA theory
Social network analysis is a set of methods for analysing social structures and the people-relationships therein. SNA can be used to address various organisational issues, including:
- Supporting partnership and alliances;
- Assessing strategy execution;
- Improving strategic decision making in top leaderships networks;
- Integrating networks across core processes;
- Ensuring integration following a merger or major change-management initiative;
- Developing communities of practice;
- Personal networks and leadership development.
The importance of social networks has been highlighted by a number of researchers, such as Rob Cross, who found that despite easy access to a world class knowledge management system, 85 per cent of managers still got most of the information that they felt had an impact on the success of a project from their personal network.
The British Council therefore introduced SNA as a key diagnostic tool to improve internal strategic decision-making in its newly-formed global leadership team.
Winning promotion
We started with the 13 newly-appointed regional directors in charge of setting the strategic direction of the British Council and the delivery of products and services overseas. They are geographically dispersed, but they have to work closely with the 17 senior management team members in the UK headquarters. Complicating matters for them, the global leadership team meets only twice a year.
The KM team wanted to help them understand what knowledge sharing across countries and regions in the British Council is really like and what needs to be implemented to make knowledge transfer effective.
We wanted to give them some practical experience before they went on to introduce new knowledge sharing initiatives to the teams within their respective regions. A series of activities were developed to promote knowledge sharing among the 13 global leaders, as well as between them and the 17 senior-management team members in the UK. These included:
- An initial community-building meeting to help them to get to know one another;
- An audit exercise to find out what knowledge, resources, expertise and help they need to get work done;
- The establishment of a web-based collaboration site;
- The appointment of a community facilitator;
- The establishment of an events calendar;
- Carrying out an SNA exercise to identify opportunities and gaps.
SNA exercise
The KM team conducted a SNA exercise for the 30 global leaders as part of a global leadership-development event. The aim was to help the team to visualise their existing relationships and to enable them to reflect on how they actually network with one another.
There were three steps to this exercise:
Step one: A data-collection template was developed and circulated to the 13 regional directors and the 17 senior management team members in the UK. They were asked to complete the form prior to the event (Appendix 1);
Step two: The findings were analysed and presented to the group during the 60-minute KM session;
Step three: The participants were given the opportunity to discuss the findings and come up with interventions to focus on during the next three months.
The KM team stressed that SNA is a diagnostic tool to generate discussion. It is not meant to evaluate the performance of the group or of individual members.
A step-by-step guide to the process is presented below.
Step one: Data collection
The template (see figure one) was circulated to the 13 leaders (and the 17 senior management team members in the UK) before and during the event. The template was designed to be simple and self-explanatory. Only two questions were asked in this case :
Question one: To whom do you send information to and receive information from (that would include documents, plans and other resources)?
Question two: With whom do you have informal discussions about your work and/or new ideas?
Step two: Data analysis and visualisation
Only 23 colleagues out of 30 global leaders completed the data collection template. The KM team used UCINET software to visualise the data using so-called SNA maps.
During the event, the global leaders were given an introduction to the technique and then presented with the findings of the analysis in an anonymised form of SNA maps. Each map demonstrated the frequency of colleagues contact with one another for formal information exchange. The nodes representing colleagues based in the UK were different colours (see figure two).
Step three: Discussion
The leaders were invited to discuss the following questions:
- What patterns do you see?
- Where do you think you sit in the SNA map?
- What do you see as the key strength of this network?
- What do you see as the potential weakness of this network?
To respect privacy, we initially showed the maps without any names attached. But to our surprise, all the participants asked for the results to be disclosed during the event. This made it more interesting for all concerned.
The participants were given time to reflect on their questions again and then asked to discuss these two questions:
- As a group, what needs to be changed in three months time in order to achieve the global leadership teams objectives?
- As an individual, what would you like to change in three months time?
What did the group learn?
The newly-appointed global leaders agreed that the SNA map represented a reasonably accurate reflection of the situation at that time, given that the majority of those leaders were new in their posts. In addition, they highlighted the following issues regarding knowledge flow:
- There were, perhaps predictably, strong relationships between UK-based staff;
- There was relatively little contact between the UK and overseas;
- Only a few overseas leaders were even talking to one another;
- There was little difference in terms of formal and informal networking patterns.
They also reflected the strengths and weaknesses of individuals social networks. The main strength was that the monthly SNA map clearly showed the volume of communication that was already taking place. However, this map also highlighted many weaknesses, such as:
- The preponderance of nodes in the headquarters. This might hinder widespread communication of messages;
- The need for more networking between the global leaders;
- The need to set clear, defined tasks to ensure that broad communication takes place.
As a result of the ensuring discussion, we identified some actions that we could take to improve networking:
- Several leaders agreed to form a mini-group to work on knowledge-sharing issues together;
- A monthly web meeting was arranged to enable the group to discuss such issues;
- The nurturing of existing sub-groups and informal groups. For example, several regional leaders were already discussing issues informally with one another and they wanted to make an effort to keep that going.
The impact
Starting with the global leaders was a useful exercise. First, the global leaders themselves identified a number of interventions that they could personal take to improve networking among themselves. On top of their busy daily schedule, they now make a very conscious effort to touch base with one another through online knowledge-sharing sessions.
Over time, they have built up a better understanding of one another and now share more freely the challenges they face and how they overcome them in their region. Improved networking among the global leadership team members has also led to unexpected outcomes, whereby knowledge exchange is not limited to topics on the set agenda, but takes place on a more informal basis covering a range of other topics.
In summary, through improved social networking, the global leaders have led by example and contributed to improve knowledge sharing in a number of ways:
- It has increased the number of documents shared on the collaborative website (as a result of the need to exchange documents to prepare for or as a follow up to a networking event);
- The global leaders share important projects they are implementing in their regions and who the employees are leading on them. This information is in turn shared by the regional director with their regional team, and has resulted in increasing networking between managers in different regions;
- It has opened up the eyes of global leaders of the power of social networking, especially through good facilitation. Many regional directors have expressed an interest in conducting a similar social networking exercise with their own regional management teams.
SNA limitations
A number of participants pointed out the limitations of the social-networking map. These shortcomings included the following points:
- A successful SNA map requires a 100 per cent response rate all participants must fill in the data collection sheets. This is difficult to achieve. At the British Council, we achieved this by distributing the form at a compulsory event. However, only 23 out of 30 global leadership team members completed the data collection template;
- There were many nodes on the network (especially in the UK). This can lead to the false conclusion that the more nodes, the stronger the network;
- A number of leaders mentioned that the SNA map only reported the situation at that time. The maps should be used with care as they can only provide a snapshot at any one point in time. The group thought it would be useful to go through the same exercise again at a later date to see the shifts in type and strength of relationship.
The final limitation cited in this social networking exercise is that only 23 people participated. When applied to a larger number of staff (more than 1000), the resulting SNA map will be bewilderingly complex and the discussion as to what a person can do as an individual to change and improve networking will be more difficult. Additional applied research has to be done to understand the value of SNA to the business in such cases.
Knowledge flow
This paper presents an example of how the British Council has used the theory of social network analysis as a practical tool to support our knowledge management programme. It proves that SNA exercises are simple to carry out and the results can provide a focal point for discussion in improving knowledge flow.
The global leaders who attended the session agreed that it was worth completing the exercise, and that the SNA maps provided them with alternative perspectives on their own knowledge flow and networking habits. They begin to recognise the need to balance the sharing of knowledge through documents against people-to-people networking. It helps them to improve understanding that Knowledge Management as a subject encompasses more than document exchange. They recommended that SNA exercises be adopted for supporting team building at a regional level.

White wants direction; not a national director
14 Mar 2006
Springbok coach Jake White believes the appointment of a national director of rugby will do nothing to improve the situation in South Africa.
While most, including me, are screaming that such an appointment be made, White said he would prefer to operate free of any director as he felt it would only complicate and not simplify any national coaching position.
"People are looking for answers in the wrong place. The answer to our problems is not the appointment of a national director of rugby. The answer is consistency in coaching appointments at a national and regional level and a succession plan for each person, agreed to by the board of the SA Rugby Union," White told Keo.co.za, adding that he had reservations about a national director of rugby appointment because of all the politics involved in creating such a position.
"The less interference to the Bok side the better," said White. "And I think a national director of rugby would want the Springboks to fall under his job responsibility. I don't think this is right. We currently have a general manager of national teams in former Stormers and Welsh international Andy Marinos. He does a fantastic job, but his focus is very much on the administration around the team. He has nothing to do with the rugby side of it and that is the way I, as a national coach, would prefer it. I know others disagree."
White said that it was outrageous to be calling for the heads of Kobus van der Merwe and Frans Ludeke, to name but two of the country's five regional coaches.
"Take Frans as an example. He has lost four of his first five matches, but the Cats have lost something like 44 of their last 49 matches in the competition. In this time they used Frans, Tim Lane and a coaching trio of Chester Williams, Rassie Erasmus and Brendan Venter. Getting rid of the coach isn't the answer.
"Where's Chester? So much went into his development in 2004 and 2005 and now he hasn't got a team to coach. Where's Brendan? He was very good at London Irish but he's not coaching? What would have happened to Rassie if the Cheetahs were not a new entity in the Super 14? Would he also have been sacked.
"In Cape Town it is the same. What good would it do to be sacking Kobus (van der Merwe) and Gary (Gold) after one season? It is short-term knee-jerk reaction. As I said in an earlier interview, if there was a rugby blueprint that embraced the national coach and the five regional coaches and put in place a three-to-five year plan and succession plan, we wouldn't have coaches coaching from one week to the next wondering if this week is their last. It is not right."
White also said it was crucial that the top 140 players were identified between himself and the five regional coaches.
"We don't have a draft system. We don't have proper identification. There are some very good players running around in the Vodacom Cup that could be adding value to our Super 14 squads. But no one is talking. No one is acting on what is a crisis situation for us. The first five weeks of the competition have not been good to us. All the coaches and myself need to be discussing how it can be improved, not on a casual basis, but in a constructive way to find solutions."
White said it distressed him that his All Blacks counterpart Graham Henry (and his fellow national coaches) were spending a day a week with the five New Zealand franchises. At this Henry interacts with the regional coach and those players in the national frame. It also gives him a chance to see first hand players outside of the national framework.
"We simply don't have that kind of working relationship in our rugby," said White. "I've popped in at the odd union for a casual visit. Earlier in the year I indicated that I would like to play a more active role during the competition, in terms of interacting with the coaches and adding value to their campaigns. Nothing materialised."
White, after five weeks of Super 14 woe, is frustrated. He believes he could be making a difference. Instead he is far removed from the South African Super 14 scene.
"Now is the time to fix it," he says. "We can't keep on plodding along like this."

14 Mar 2006, 22:08 pmSo what does a "national director of rugby" actually DO behind his desk for 8 hours a day and 48 weeks a year to earn what is certain to be a million Rand plus annual salary?
It's a sinecure — a meaningless job for a pal. Another gravy-train position.
14 Mar 2006, 22:14 pm"Katsesnor
At least the Bulls win at home. The majority of Jakes squad is booed by their own supporters. Go figure.."The Bulls LOST at home to the Brumbies, remember?
14 Mar 2006, 22:42 pmTackler
I assume you mean the Stormers by "Jakes squad?"
The Newlands crowd is very much in support of the team, they just do NOT support their style of play at the moment. Case in point being Kreef's unimaginative "kick first" option taking.
When these guys play for the Boks its a completely different story. -
14 Mar 2006, 23:06 pmApologies Tackles, I'll redirect that post to Xkreni-WP.
15 Mar 2006, 06:16 amLet Jake do as he wants he has showen all that he can take the boks to another level.
15 Mar 2006, 06:30 amStroily took the Boks down to the parking garage beneath the basement storage area, but Jake's elevator hasn't taken the Boks much higher than back to ground level yet.
Remember they have already had to hand back the Tri-Nations Cup which they won in Jake's first year when all his moves and many of his team selections and combinations were still new to the opposition.
15 Mar 2006, 07:42 amTackler Jake came flippin close to a double and blooded a few youngsters along the way.
Ton say that the bok schedule for this year is hectic is an understatement.
World cup next year and thats all that counts in my books.The World Cup thats the prize no matter what elevator your on.
15 Mar 2006, 07:54 amBesides, the Kiwi's elevator seems to get stuck between floors at every World Cup. Never, quite reaches the top floor when it really matters.
15 Mar 2006, 07:56 amWe wont win the world cup……… not when we dont select the best players like r counter parts. So dream on !!!
my blood is blue
15 Mar 2006, 08:15 amJake se moer, he is a typical schoolmaster with his favourites and all.
15 Mar 2006, 09:27 amTackler how long you been in NZ? I suppose you go black when they win and Bok's when they win shitting on the fence hey.
15 Mar 2006, 11:01 am"Ton say that the bok schedule for this year is hectic is an understatement."
Last year the AB's had a full-on British Lions tour, the Tri-Nations and a full UK Grand Slam end-of-season tour.
Now THAT was a hectic schedule. And they only lost one test in the whole year, which hardly mattered as far as winning all the silverware was concerned.

Like most places along the east coast, the last few days have been wet, windy and cold. My initial thoughts of having a day of indoor activities went out the window just before lunch when I decided the crab pots I'd put out 48hrs ago before the rain had to be checked. I unfortunately had to cut up some of my own internal roads to get to where the pots were and it was almost worth it. I got a feed but not what I was expecting after 48hrs.
After cooking the crabs and cleaning the kitchen my young fella started asking me to take him fishing. He did have to ask a few times because I was weighing up the various options in my head after the initial ask. He was beggine by the time I had it all sorted out.
"OK, who's coming fishing to a new secret spot?" I got two "Me!" replies from the twins so I grabbed a couple of rods and off we went. I was basically driving about 5 times the distance to get to a spot that I could access by kayak by just paddling across the river. The wet weather made negotiating the river bank a bit exciting but the sand was nice and compacted and easy driving.
We arrived at our destination and I got my son set up with a little spin stick before I got my own baitcaster out. I was using the soft plastics rigged on the weedless jigheads I'd bought from Anaconda for about $1.50 a packet and hopes were high. After landing one right over a snag and retrieving the line quickly to get the hook onto my side of the snag before letting it sink again, I saw the line tighten up on the surface of the water. A few cranks on the handle and I felt some weight, didn't hook anything but that was enough to get me casting at the same snag over and over again. Any cast that landed right on the snag got a bit of interest but anything that was more than a metre away got nothing.
I lost count of how many casts I had trying to land one just in the right spot. The light lure weight meant I could only reach the snag if everything went right, every other cast either fell short or too far either side. Would you believe I had the lure land right over the snag with the line running across the top of it when I got the hit. Luckily the fish went to the side and I ran along the bank to get into a position where the snag was no longer directly between me and the fish. To my surprise it was a reasonable barra about mid 60's so I got it ashore and ripped it's gills in the absence of a knife (wasn't supposed to catch anything!)
The kids had a ball and didn't want to go home and I was stoked that I had finally busted the weedless jig myth with something I could eat. We're all heading to the same spot as a family tomorrow just for kicks, any fish will once again be a bonus.
