The foreign relations law expert weighs in on the fallout from the NSA leaks, Edward Snowden and U.S. surveillance.
Law professor Edwin Smith
Tavis: Edward Snowden is a hero to some and a traitor to others after leaking secret information about the extent of our government surveillance program here at home and around the world.
Snowden of course remains in Russia still, refusing to return to this country to stand trial. The intelligence data he revealed proved just how extensive the National Security Agency's data collection was and continues to be, for that matter.
Here now to talk about the fallout, but not just the fallout, but where this story goes from here, Edwin Smith, law professor at USC School of Law, and an expert in international law. Professor Smith, good to have you on the program.
Professor Edwin Smith: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Tavis: As I said a moment ago, I want to take this story to where we think it might be headed, or – and there are any number of places it could be headed, or not, obviously.
Smith: Yes.
Tavis: Let me start by asking one, what you make of the statements from Attorney General Eric Holder that he would be open to a conversation with Edward Snowden. How do you read that?
Smith: Basically, I actually went back and looked at the initial case that was filed and the statutes under which it was filed, and basically this is the suggestion of the kind of negotiation that anybody gets involved in before a criminal charge and indictment is pursued.
Can he make an arrangement? Are there any discussions that he can have with Holder that could let Holder think differently about what he ought to be charged with, that he will be charged?
That there will be a criminal, a federal indictment, that is of no doubt. That it will be a full indictment is of no doubt. The question is what will the charge be.
Tavis: So I would assume that if what you just said, it would be perhaps in Edward Snowden's best interest to engage in that conversation with the attorney general.
Smith: I would assume so, from a whole different perspective. I think if we're going to treat Edward Snowden as someone who's acting in the public interest, what he's pursuing is a form of civil disobedience.
One of the things that Dr. King told us is that yes, if you break the law, sometimes you have to assume that you will pay the price for having broken the law.
If he's serious about being a whistleblower, he ought not to expect to get off Scot-free for having blown the whistle. Whistleblowers must understand that there is a price to pay if they are serious about the public interest.
Tavis: Yeah. But the other part of that King quote, as you well know, that King took pride in breaking unjust laws, immoral laws –
Smith: Exactly.
Tavis: – unethical laws.
Smith: That's right.
Tavis: Just because it is the law doesn't mean it's moral or ethical, which takes us now to the comment President Obama made recently in his conversation with David Remnick at "The New Yorker," where he suggests that there was another way.
That Edward Snowden could have done this differently. Now the president, for obvious reasons, is not going to give Mr. Snowden the respect that many of us think he deserves, even though it pushes Obama to the podium to say and do what he has already said and done, rethinking how this program ought to work.
But Snowden won't get any credit for that from the president. I'm not naive; I don't expect that from the president of the United States. He's the head of the empire.
But there's no doubt about the fact that we wouldn't be in this conversation –
Smith: That's exactly right.
Tavis: – were it not for Edward Snowden.
Smith: That's exactly right.
Tavis: So is he a whistleblower or is he a traitor?
Smith: I think he can be – I saw an interesting piece this morning that he could be both. If you think about it –
Tavis: That's fascinating.
Smith: – not traitor; I would not call him a traitor. But is he a whistleblower and guilty at the same time? Is he acting in the public interest, and guilty of violating the law at the same time? Absolutely.
Tavis: But what does that other way? When the president suggests to Remnick in "The New Yorker" piece days ago that there was another way to do this, like what would be the other way?
Smith: Well, if we think about the Pentagon papers –
Tavis: Right, Daniel Ellsberg –
Smith: – you remember, Ellsberg gave the information "The New York Times" and a member of the Senate, who read the Pentagon papers on the floor of the Senate, and in that circumstance he was immune from any prosecution.
So that it's entirely possible, if there are members of the Senate, if there are members of the Congress that Snowden believes would have supported him, he might have actually gone that way.
Tavis: That's a big if. It's this same Congress, this same Senate, that's wearing him out every day, and particularly there are Republican members of the Senate and the House who have started smearing him with these suggestions that he was working with other rogue nations, perhaps.
There's been no evidence of that to suggest, but it's not just Republicans who said that. Dianne Feinstein here out of California, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a Democrat, has suggested that he may have been working with others.
So when you got Democrats and Republicans making those suggestions, I ask again, who would Snowden have turned to?
Smith: There are individual senators who have come out supporting Snowden, and those individuals are the people that you should be pursuing. That's the ulterior route.
Tavis: On the front side, how would he have known that? They say that now, but in part, politicians can say that when they see the winds blowing, when "The New York Times" and other papers come out and say we need to rethink how we're treating Edward Snowden at the moment and find a way to resolve this.
So senators can get courage most easily after the fact. How would he have known on the front side that he had friends in the Senate?
Smith: To the extent that he has any access to what goes on in those Senate hearings. He could know who asked which questions and who might be amenable to questioning the process that the government's undertaking in terms of collecting information.
So if he were serious about pursuing this, he may well have pursued it. The question is did he ever even consider it seriously.
Tavis: Yeah. I was, to your comment a moment ago, your reference, at least, to Dr. King, who I've said many times, as our audience knows, I regard him personally as the greatest American this country's every produced.
That's my own assessment for a lot of different reasons, not the least of which is Martin King was willing to pay the price for his actions, and indeed, he paid the price, the ultimate price, with his life, as we all know.
I was on one of the Sunday morning shows a few weeks ago and said, somewhat tongue-in-cheek – as a matter of fact, the reference I made was to something that my co-panelists and I had been discussing in the green room.
So David Remnick is there, James Carville, Mary Matalin is there, Peggy Noonan is there, and I'm on the show. So we're in the green room kind of chucking it up before we get to the set for the live show with George Stephanopoulos, and I sort of made a joke.
We made a joke in the green room that who knows how this story's going to end up. Years from now, I said, Edward Snowden may end up on a postage stamp as an American hero.
So on the air, I just sort of reprised that conversation that we had, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, in the green room, and Lord, all hell broke loose on the Internet.
"Tavis Smiley suggested Edward Snowden might be on a postage stamp one day," and it just kicked up a huge viral sort of conversation. I raise all that to ask again you the question as to whether or not you think that 25, 50 years from now, like Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, we might be viewing Edward Snowden differently?
Smith: I think that's entirely a possibility. I am not averse to saying that he is serving the public interest in what he's done. There may be a price to pay. Probably, looking at the statutes, and I did this morning, he could be in violation of the law without question.
But that does not mean that his violation of the law does not serve the public interest under the circumstance, and it may take the long view to get people beyond the vehement and overwrought responses that they're having at this moment to this particular individual's actions.
Tavis: What does this say to whistleblowers, if for those who regard him – not everybody does, I'm clear about that. But for those who do regard him as a whistleblower, what's the message here to whistleblowers in the future?
Smith: The message to whistleblowers is that the idea of protection of a whistleblower is a relatively recent idea. It's not an idea that Martin Luther King had at the time he was talking about civil disobedience, that Thoreau had at the time he was talking about civil disobedience.
These were people who understood that to disobey an unjust law requires payment of a price. But it is doing the moral thing. Now, to the extent that that's what comes out of this, whistleblowers ought to understand that there is a higher value being served by whistleblowing, and they shouldn't necessarily look to a protective law in order to blow the whistle.
Tavis: So I take that point. So let me ask – since this is your area of expertise – what does the punishment look like? I know I'm putting the cart in front of the horse –
Smith: Yeah, yeah.
Tavis: – because he and his people and whether he's going to have the conversation or his people will have the conversation with Eric Holder, the attorney general, that has not happened as yet, at least as we know sitting here.
Who knows what happens behind the scenes? But publicly, we do not know yet that a conversation has happened. When that conversation happens, given the punishment, ultimately, that he could receive – there's no exact answer to this.
But what do you think the conversation – if you were Snowden's lawyer, what kind of conversation would you be having –
Smith: The conversation would look at the public benefit that's been generated. The president is talking about adjusting the surveillance processes in ways that most people in the United States agree with, and this discussion started because of my disclosures.
Tavis: Then Holder says across the table, "But son, you broke the law."
Smith: Fine.
Tavis: "And you have to pay a price for that."
Smith: A price. A price –
Tavis: And what is that price?
Smith: That price – there are a number of people who've broken the law and have served a year, two years, three years. It doesn't have to be maximum security in terms of the service.
The choice is up to Holder. Holder has lots and lots of leeway. There was no stated sentence, no fixed sentence, no required minimum sentence that I saw in the statute.
Tavis: Even if Holder, if in private Attorney General Holder, if in private President Barack Obama, if deep in their soul, as Obama has a bust of Dr. King sitting in the Oval Office, who was the ultimate, quintessential example for being spied on by the government.
If deep in their souls Obama and Holder believe that may have done the right thing, but I can't say that publicly, how much trouble are they putting themselves in – the administration, Mr. Holder, Mr. Obama – if they were to whittle that down?
Because I can see Republicans and the right wearing them out over being soft on crime, particularly when our nation's security is at stake. So how can Holder negotiate anything down?
Smith: The fact that we do not have a second Obama administration – yet a third Obama administration.
Tavis: A third. We do have a second, yeah. I know your point (unintelligible).
Smith: We have a second.
Tavis: Right.
Smith: If people are serious about this – President Clinton granted pardons at the end of the term.
Tavis: Yeah, yeah.
Smith: That is the extreme possibility. The fact that there will be Republican criticism, right-wing criticism, Internet criticism, is a guaranteed result.
Tavis: But the ultimate irony of that is, since you mentioned the Clintons, the ultimate irony, and I say this with all due respect – these are just the facts – Hillary Clinton is regarded by many as much more of a hawk than Barack Obama has been.
Were Clinton, Hillary, to be elected president and this issue not be resolved, it ain't no foregone conclusion that Snowden will be treated any better by her than he would be by the Obama administration.
Smith: Exactly right. Yet as secretary of State, she was in the situation where her people were at risk as a result of disclosure of the kinds of information that Snowden released.
Tavis: Law professor Edwin Smith out of USC. This conversation obviously will continue for months, maybe years on end, and I hope I'm around here in 25, 30 years, Professor, to see how Snowden is regarded –
Smith: Yes. Exactly right.
Tavis: – a few decades down the road. Until then, good to have you on the program.
Smith: Good to be on.
Tavis: Thanks for your insights.
Smith: Thank you.

Some victims call upon Church to track, confine laicized priests
March 08, 2011
Some victims of clerical abuse are calling upon Church authorities to create special housing for laicized priests or to monitor them as civil authorities monitor convicted sex offenders.
"Essentially, you have admitted or credibly accused child molesters walking free among unsuspecting families-- and bishops are doing little or nothing," said David Clohessy of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
"We obviously don't have a police force, and our mission has been to cleanse the priesthood, and we think we've done that effectively and well," countered Michael Hennigan, attorney for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. "Once they're out, it's up to civil authorities to deal with them on behalf of society. It's really too much to ask the Church to institute a prison system, and no one could be forced to comply with it except voluntarily."

By what authority would the Church do this? Why would released abusers VOLUNTARILY lock themselves away? If a soldier is dishonorably discharged by a court-martial, the military has no more authority over him once he is discharged from the service (and maybe from Leavenworth). He is like any other released prisoner. Same with laicized clergy who are not convicted sex abusers -- and if they are, then the government supervises them.

The fallacy here is that the Church took perfectly healthy men and turned them into abusers. The truth is that perpetrators found the Church to be excellent cover for their vicious appetites. It will be up to society to alert parents to the ways of sexual abusers, just as we have done in the Catholic Church. When you get the game, they are easy to spot.

ESRB Listing Hints At Final Fantasy VII US PSN Release
If you're a veteran gamer and Final Fantasy VII isn't in your collection, you may be in danger of having your gaming license revoked. But you can avoid all this if you just download it from the PSN.
We had heard whispers of the game heading to digital download land and now, an ESRB listing has all but confirmed it: according to a variety of sources, including Kotaku, One Last Continue, and 1Up, the FFVII listing has been located. It's right there for you to see - just follow the link - and it clearly indicates that the role-playing classic should become available for play on either the PS3 or PSP some time soon. It's already on the Japanese Store and when North American fans learned of it, they all began to clamor for Cloud and Co. We figured it wouldn't be long before we'd get it and it appears we were right; however, we don't yet have a release date, and it may or may not show up at E3 this week. We'd like to think FFVII will be on the US Store some time early this month, but we hate to guesstimate on stuff like this. Let's just say that the ESRB isn't exactly in the habit of rating 12-year-old games a second time just for fun...it's not an official confirmation, but it's darn close.
So anyway, if you haven't already played it (and if so, shame on you), you will want to pony up the measly few bucks and download it when it becomes available. Oh yes, you will.

Also as I've said in a past article, FF VII in the JPSN store is 1,500 yen which equals $14.95 US. If anything the price might come out to be $14.99 to 20 which if you think about it isn't that bad compared to finding the set online like I did for $56 (thanks ebay while smiling) and not being able to take it on the go.

Seriously, without a bunch of cash, great royalty rights, a DRM upgrade and some real crawling from Microsoft, FFVII via PS1 emulation on XBL is not something anyone has to even consider happening.
That said, if it could be done, you have to wonder whether Sony would make a small mint selling PS1 games to Xbox360 customers?

I just realized that I got FF 7 on my 7th bday in sep 27 1997. lol Wierd.

Waco Lake
Flood Control Storage Reallocation Study, Waco, Texas
The Brazos River Authority in cooperation
with the City of Waco and surrounding communities, McLennan County, Texas, have
recently expressed concern over whether the current flood control storage in
Waco Lake is adequate to meet the additional water needs of the suburbs of Waco
and future needs for the City of Waco and its suburbs.
The Fort Worth District of the Corps reinitiated
the feasibility study, which was originally initiated in 1980, on the
reallocation of flood control storage to water supply in June 1998. In
addition to the engineering aspects, environmental assessments are being
conducted during this time period to examine potential impacts of the pool
reallocation on natural resources and reservoir facilities. The ARLES
initiated Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (FWCA) studies in cooperation with
the Corps to evaluate the impact of the pool raise on fish and wildlife
resources and identify measures necessary for the protection, mitigation, or
enhancement of these resources. A draft FWCA report was provided to the
Corps in January 2000. Included in the draft report, was our analysis and
recommendations for the conservation of fish and wildlife resources around the
proposed new flood pool elevation. The recommendations were reviewed and
accepted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Some of our recommendations included:
upgrade of land use nomenclature of remaining fee areas not presently designated
as either "Congress Authorized Parks and Recreation" or "Operation and
Maintenance" to "Wildlife Management Areas" to further prevent fragmentation and
provide protection to remaining federal lands around Waco Lake facing the
imminent threat of urban development; and
establishment of permanent utility easements either on or adjacent to existing
easements at Waco Lake in anticipation of future utility lines being proposed
around the lake.
River Basin Restoration
During FY 2000, the Arlington office
participated as a member of a Site Assessment Team to evaluate the suitability
of private land along Green and Duffau Creeks located in the Middle Brazos River
Basin for aquatic and terrestrial restoration opportunities which would protect
and/or improve water quality and fish and wildlife habitats. The Brazos
River Authority of Texas and local water districts have expressed concern about
potential water quality impacts of dairy farms, concentrated animal feeding
operations, and intensive agricultural activities within the basin on public
water supplies. The team consisted of individuals in different fields of
environmental expertise from various Federal, State, and local agencies, as well
as independent landowners. The Service participated in a planning team and
public meetings, and conducted riparian habitat evaluations at each potential
restoration site. Habitat restoration recommendations will be offered for
each site selected for the project. The Service will continue to
participate in the project in FY2001. The office is taking this
opportunity to apply the GIS program to help with analysis.
Floodway Extension
After the City of Dallas experienced
severe flooding problems in 1989 and 1991, the city and the Fort Worth District
of the Corps of Engineers (Corps) began working together to investigate flood
control alternatives to extend the existing Dallas Floodway channel and levees.
As part of this project and an ongoing effort to restore the riparian ecosystem
along the Trinity River, the Arlington Office assisted in the planning for
development of a chain of wetlands. The Arlington Office offered the Corps
recommendations for enhancing the wildlife habitat in the wetlands after
attending interagency meetings, conducting site assessments, and reviewing
project plans.
River General Investigation
Over the past few years, the Corps has
been evaluating the feasibility of restoring Standard Project Flood protection
levels and environmental values within the Dallas Floodway. The potential
for flooding within the project area has been increased by continued
urbanization in the Upper Trinity River watershed. The existing floodway
project and associated urban development has also had a negative impact on the
fish and wildlife resources and their natural habitats. Potential projects
to address the flood problem and cumulative environmental impacts in the study
area were published in the June, 2000, Final Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement for the Upper Trinity River Basin. Modifications to the existing
levee system may be required to restore flood protection levels. The
Arlington Office has been and will continue to work with the Corps on these
various projects and conduct assessments of flood control alternatives and
potential environmental restoration-recreation features during their planning
Trinity River Channel Habitat Restoration
In March 1999, the Corps initiated a
feasibility study of restoring habitat values in the Walker Neighborhood of west
Dallas. Channelization and levees of the Trinity River associated with the
Dallas Floodway and urbanization in this section of Dallas have resulted in the
elimination of most of the floodplain forest and aquatic habitats which were
historically present in this section of the watershed.
The Corps is evaluating various alternatives for
restoring habitat values within the study area, including reestablishment of
aquatic and wetland habitats, floodplain and riparian forest, and recreation
opportunities associated with these habitat features.
The Arlington Office conducted a habitat
assessment using HEP to characterize the baseline fish and wildlife habitat
conditions within the project area and identified restoration concepts to be
evaluated by the Corps during its incremental analysis of project alternatives.
We assisted in predicting future conditions of the projects area considering
each of the alternatives. This information has been provided to the Corps
in one or more technical reports and/or planning aid letters. We are
continuing to assist in the planning of this project in FY 2001.
The Joppa Preserve project is part of the
Corps efforts in evaluating the feasibility of restoring wildlife habitat
destroyed by past flood control management projects and subsequent development
within the Trinity River flood plain in west central Dallas. It is located
about 12 miles downstream of the Dallas Floodway Project on Dallas County
property at Little Lemmon Lake and Lemmon Lake in the Joppa Preserve.
The proposed project consists of several
construction actions that will restore and protect approximately 158.8 acres of
shallow water and emergent wetlands. The first action is realignment and
extension of the existing embankment separating the lakes from the river.
This action will prevent further erosion by the force of the river that is
threatening to breach the embankment and release the lake water from the
impoundment. The second construction action is diversion of water from
Honey Spring Creek into Little Lemmon Lake. The original source of water
into this lake has been diminished by past surrounding construction. The
project also includes construction of an embankment bisecting Lemmon Lake into
two cells, and installation of water control structures to allow manipulation of
the water levels in each lake and cell. Other habitat improvement actions
are reforestation of riparian corridor and planting of additional trees and
shrubs in existing riparian forestlands along the Trinity River. The
Arlington Office conducted a habitat assessment using HEP on the existing
conditions of the project area. Future efforts will be assessing the
potential environmental restoration-recreation features identified during the
plan formulation process.
Clear/West Fork of the Trinity River Ecosystem Restoration
The Corps has initiated a feasibility
study for a group of flood control, ecosystem restoration, and recreation
projects that are proposed along the West and Clear Forks of the Trinity River
and several tributaries in Tarrant County, Texas between Benbrook Lake and
Highway East Loop 820. The study is scheduled for completion by the end of
The Arlington Office began assisting the Corps in
the characterization of baseline fish and wildlife habitat conditions within the
project area in November, 2000. Next year, we will be assisting in the
identification of possible fish and wildlife impacts and ecosystem restoration
measures. We will attend team meetings, conduct site visits and a baseline
habitat assessment of each of the project sites, and evaluate alternative plans
using HEP or other mutually acceptable techniques. This information will
be provided to the Corps in one or more technical reports and/or planning aid
letters prior to December 2001.
Corps of Engineers Permitting Activities
The Arlington, Texas Ecological Services
Field Office received approximately 100 permit applications from the United
States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) during the past two Fiscal Years.
Of those applications, 46 were in regards to section 10/404 individual permit
applications, 46 pertained to Nationwide Permit reviews, while the other 8
included 3 mitigation banks, 3 regional permits, and 2 withdrawals. We
provided comments on mitigation plans for 77 of the 92 permit applications.
Fifty-eight percent of the permit applications requested were within the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area.
Over the past two years, a total of 511 acres of
wetlands or other waters of the U.S. were impacted by Corps permitting
activities. Although 511 acres were impacted during the past few years, we
restored or protected a total of 1,427 acres of wetlands, waters and riparian
habitat through our coordination on individual mitigation plans. We are
also coordinating with the Corps to restore and/or protect an additional 2,669
acres of wetlands, waters, and riparian zones due in large part to the 2,185
acres in the Trinity River, Big Woods on the Trinity, and West Mineola
mitigation banks. These banks have been designed to restore and enhance
forested and emergent wetlands, while providing compensation for a variety of
adverse impacts resulting from rapidly expanding development in this region of
Texas. Strategically located, the banks provide crucial habitat for a
variety of migratory and resident wildlife species, such as neotropical migrant
songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl, as well as provide significant
hydrological and water quality benefits. The banks could be expanded
depending upon demand and their success.
Our office has previously coordinated with the
Fort Worth District on four additional mitigation banks now in operation.
Each of these four banks is located in the Sabine River floodplain in Smith
County, Texas. The 2,473-acre Anderson Tract Mitigation Bank was the first
to be approved in Texas and has been operating since 1995. It enhances and
preserves high quality forested wetlands adjacent to FWS's Little Sandy National
Wildlife Refuge and is now part of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Old
Sabine Bottom Wildlife Management Area. The Anderson Tract provides
off-site compensation for Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot)
construction activities in four of its east Texas districts. The Hawkins
Mitigation Bank was approved in April of 1998 and enhances an additional 175
acres immediately downstream of the Anderson Tract. The Hawkins Bank
credits made available to the general public have all been obligated. The Byrd
Tract Mitigation Bank was approved in August of 1998 and preserves approximately
483 acres of forested wetlands near Gladewater, Texas. The KLAMM
Mitigation Bank was approved in July 1998. It enhances and preserves
approximately 1,251 acres of bottomland forested wetlands near the City of Big
The Corps along with The Nature Conservancy of
Texas (TNC) has recently developed four in-lieu fee regional trust funds
pursuant to the provisions of the in-lieu fee agreement signed by the Corps and
TNC in November 1998. The four trust funds in the Fort Worth District were
named the Trinity-Brazos, East Texas, Hill Country, and Prairies and Playas
regions. These four trust funds were based on the TNC's national
ecoregions system and bounded with the
United States Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic watershed boundaries.
During the past fiscal year, we provided comments regarding in-lieu fee payments
to the Corps and TNC for impacts to wetlands and other waters of the U.S.
We coordinated with the Corps on the restoration and protection of 147 acres of
wetlands, waters, and riparian zones through an in-lieu fee funded mitigation
project at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Big Lake Bottom Wildlife
Management Area. This mitigation project cost $80,000 and was funded
through the Trinity-Brazos region fund.
Advanced Planning
The ARLES continues to provide
advance planning information to a variety of Federal, State, and local
governmental agencies, as well as to non-governmental organizations through
participation in several interagency forums, meetings, workshops, and discussion
groups. For example, agency perspectives on wetland and regulatory issues
were discussed at an interagency roundtable conducted in Arlington in January,
and a presentation on the Service's role in wetlands regulation and conservation
was presented to the Fort Worth District's Stream Management Workshop in June
The ARLES has also been an active member of
several interagency, interdisciplinary discussion groups. For example, the
Stream Team provides advice concerning environmentally sensitive ways to manage
streams. The Stream Team provides recommendations concerning innovative
methods for: flood control, stream bank erosion control, stream restoration,
Section 404 mitigation, and other types of stream corridor, floodplain, or
stream channel projects. Although a number of regulatory agencies have
representatives on the Team, the Team's recommendations are advisory only, not
regulatory. Stream Team advice can, however, make compliance with Section
404 of the Clean Water Act and other regulations easier. The Team's goal
is to provide input to interested parties as early in the planning process as
possible and prior to the submittal of a 404 permit application.
Texas Senate Bill 1, signed by Governor Bush into
law in June 1997, mandated that a state-wide comprehensive water plan be
developed. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) established 16
distinctive planning regions consisting of several counties across the state.
Seven of these regions are in the Arlington Office area. An Arlington
Office biologist attended meetings of three of the regions and conducted
presentations on the Service's involvement in the planning effort. Each
regional water planning group submitted a draft regional water plan to the TWDB
on or before October 1, 2000. Each plan contains recommendations by the
groups that will ensure that the water needs of the their region are met in the
next 50 years. These recommendations include, but are not limited to,
reservoir construction, pipelines, brush control, interbasin transfers, and
aquifer storage and recovery. The Arlington Office reviewed and provided
comments on the plans for the seven water regions located in our area. The
plans were reviewed as to how they may impact the national wildlife refuges,
other important habitats, and threatened and endangered species in their

Barnes is the prototypical NBA three man. He's long, relatively athletic, and he'll be a plus shooter for his position at the next level. He'll benefit tremendously from a second college season and will be in contention for All-American and National POY. He should have a legitimate chance at being the first overall pick in 2012.
North Carolina's depth will be the biggest obstacle for Barnes. The Tar Heels bring in highly touted forward James McAdoo to share the front court duties with Barnes and fellow returners (and first-round prospects) John Henson and Tyler Zeller. Barnes should be similar to Nets-era Richard Jefferson at the next level.
January 20, 2012
Barnes has raised his scoring average from his freshman season, but most of his other stats are down. His shooting from the field and the three point line have also improved, but on such a loaded North Carolina team, he hasn't been asked to do much but shoot. The question is: to what degree has this affected his development? The last college guy I remember like this was Rudy Gay- he did what it took to win and put up pretty good offensive stats, but he never really seemed to push himself to be great. Gay has had a good NBA career, but he's never been a true number one guy. Barnes could be one if he really has the drive. He should be one of the top three or four picks, with an outside chance of being #1.

Logistics data entry have been experiencing a phenomenal growth in the past few years due to the rate at which the logistics industry is growing. Logistics data entry is one sure way of reducing business operations cost and another sure way of eliminating any myriad of errors arising from a negligent data entry from an unqualified personnel.
Logistics data entry involves simplifying complex logistic tasks such as controlling and managing the flow of goods, resources and information stemming from the suppliers to the end-user. Outsourcing your logistics for services such as truck operations cuts the cost of operations as one is able to have an unequaled access to high-quality transactions and an elaborate processing of all business tasks. This includes data processing, payment processing, and customer relationship management and business intelligence.
Outsourcing your logistics data entry helps in reducing the billing discrepancies and this is well accomplished by the receivable processing where everything is managed, reviewed, audited and finally making payments accurately within the shortest time possible. our team performs an elaborate pre-audit of all the freight bills before payment is made. All invoices are then reviewed against all the negotiated prices and contracts, and against tasks that are accomplished after the comrrect tariffs have been applied. It also involves the application of classifications, discomunts, accessory charges as well as other price-related issues. After all this has been done, the bills are then verified and validated against all its shipping documents.
Other services that are meant to improve customer relationship is the high tech systems and support that ensures a satisfying customer approach. this is one way in which clients are able to minimize their investments in terms of infrastructure. It has become commonplace in the modern logistics industry that technology and customer contacts cannot be over emphasized. It has therefore been put into place to ensure that clients brand are strengthened, thus boosting profits and at the same time increasing revenue. These modern solutions include order tracking, catalog orders, order fulfillment, forms processing, and data base management among others. An elaborate line of communication is also important in logistics data entry with both existing business partners as well as the prospective clients. This can only be achieved through the use of the sate-of-the-art technology and qualified personnel.
The data is finally checked thoroughly and then validated for by the use of landing numbers, shipment characteristics as well as freight bill numbers among others. The data is captured accurately to avoid any miscalculations using the data mining. This therefore makes clients admirably able to manage their own accomunt receivables in a more elaborate and succinct manner. Outsourcing logistics data entry is one way in which inaccuracies are uncomvered with ease as well as the rates applicable to all critical data.

Services Offered
Physician/Physician Assistant Appointments
Physician/Physician Assistant appointments are available Monday-Friday. Please call the Student Health Center at 458-8401 to schedule an appointment.
Infirmary Care
The Student Health Center has 7 beds available for overnight care if a student is too ill to care for themselves, but is not ill enough to require hospitalization. Emergency medical situations beyond the scope of care at the Student Health Center should be evaluated and treated at Stonewall Jackson Hospital, located just one mile from campus.
Documentation of current immunization status for Tetanus-Diphtheria, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Polio, and Hepatitis B are required for all incoming students. History or laboratory evidence of chicken pox or Varicella vaccination is also required. Meningococcal vaccination is required for undergraduate students. Tuberculosis screening is required for students who have lived for more than 6 months in the past 5 years in high risk areas. Further information regarding immunization requirements is available on the immunization portion of the required Health Form.
Additional immunization doses a student might need to complete these requirements are available at the Student Health Center, or the local office of the state Health Department. Depending on the student's insurance plan and vaccine type, many immunizations given at the Student Health Center can be billed directly to the insurance plan. Others can be charged to the student's University account, in which case a receipt will be provided that may be submitted by the student to health insurance or flexible spending plans for consideration.
Other immunizations such as the Influenza vaccine (flu shot) are also available at the Student Health Center. Hepatitis A, Typhoid, vaccines for travel and specialized immunizations such as Yellow Fever are available at the local office of the state Health Department.
Allergy Shots
The Student Health Center will administer allergy shots on the instructions of outside physicians. Students should bring or send their allergy serum and instruction sheets to the Student Health Center. At the time of the first visit the nurse will review the procedures we follow when giving allergy shots. To learn more about allergic disease and get some tips to control allergies and asthma in college, go to the website of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
The Student Health Center maintains a limited formulary of over-the-counter and prescription medications to treat many of the most common medical problems we see. Over-the-counter meds may be dispensed by a nurse or a physician. Prescription meds may be administered by a nurse on physician orders, or dispensed by a physician. We do not fill prescriptions from outside physicians, and we do not dispense medications needed for ongoing treatment. Most of our medications can be purchased for between $5 and $20, similar to the prescription co-payment amount for many insurance plans. These charges may be placed on a student's University account, or paid by cash or check to the W&L Student Health Center.
Travel Health
Be prepared for study or travel abroad. Click here for more information from the CDC Travel Health Web site pertinent to the area that you plan to visit. The Student Health Center is prepared to assist you with health forms, travel immunizations and other preparations, as well as follow up for any health problems after travel.
Women's Health
Women's health information and examinations with Pap tests and STI screening are available at the Student Health Center.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception medication is available at the Student Health Center for situations where contraceptive protection was compromised, such as condom failure, unprotected sex or sexual assault. Emergency contraception medication is effective at reducing the risk of pregnancy in such a situation if started within 72 hours, but should be started as soon as possible. The nurse on duty at the Student Health Center can assist you.
Sexual Health
The decision to be sexually active is one that many students consider during their college years. It is a decision that should be carefully considered to ensure both physical and emotional health. It should be made based on personal values and careful thought, and not decided in the "heat of the moment." Being sexually active carries with it the responsibility to consider the possibility of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections with every sexual encounter. Information and supplies for various methods of contraception are available at the Student Health Center (birth control pills, Depo shots, condoms, etc.). Being sexually responsible also means avoiding sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs to assure mutual consent. More information about these issues, as well as testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, is available at the Student Health Center.
HIV Testing
Confidential testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections is available at the Student Health Center, or at local and regional health department offices.
Laboratory Services
Lab testing done through the Student Health Center is sent to the local hospital laboratory for analysis. Lab charges apply to this service. The hospital can do insurance billing with current insurance information, or discounted charges can be billed to a student's University account and a statement provided to the student on request to submit to their insurance plan. Results can be faxed to outside physicians as needed, for example to monitor Accutane therapy prescribed by a dermatologist.
Referrals can be made by the Physician/Physician Assistant at the Student Health Center to area medical specialists, for x-ray studies, for physical therapy services, etc. We will try to assist with pre-authorization for these services, but parents or home primary care physicians often need to be involved in this process.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Take a stab at guessing the top-selling car in the United States. Played-out request, you say? That's only because the answer has been the same for so long.Toyota, maker of the benchmark midsize sedan/sales stalwart, assembled 99.1 percent of all Camrys sold through March in America. Thanks, Indiana and Kentucky. Through the first quarter of 2011, the Camry found new owners 76,821 times (up 10.5 percent over 2010, though the first three months of 2010 were impacted by recall scares). It might as well get a big bull's-eye painted on its honestly hewn, Vibrant Clarity-themed sheetmetal.The bull's-eye works two ways. Many consumers find their driving needs fulfilled by Camry, making the family car an invaluable company asset. Second, the Camry is an easy target for certain, um, enthusiasts who feel the urge to publicly proclaim their disapproval. Common descriptors thrown around include "appliance," "beige," and "boring." Example: This Camry is a boring, beige appliance. Is it all blind hatred?Allow us to present another perspective. What the Camry lacks in flair and curb appeal it makes up for in sincerity, wrapped in a forgivably ordinary-looking package. The SE V-6 we drove employs Toyota's 3.5-liter six-cylinder, which made quite the name for itself at its debut, easily banging out 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque in the Camry's service. It's among the best-endowed midsize sedans (engine-wise) available, and the enthusiast can't fault it for its intended acceleration time: an estimated 6.1 seconds from 0-60 mph. A six-speed automatic transaxle effortlessly sends power to the front wheels, where 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels await their gyrating fates. You don't necessarily expect to achieve the best fuel economy numbers with a V-6, but the Camry manages 20 city/29 highway mpg (up 1 city/1 highway mpg over last year). Sure, efficiency isn't as impressive as the turbo fours spooling up nowadays; on the other hand, a true six-cylinder manages to deliver a different experience.So it's pretty respectable in a straight line, but how does this unpretentious four-door handle on the streets? Nobody would assume there'd be razor-sharp steering. And there isn't — sawing at the Camry's steering wheel reveals a docile and decently responsive setup. The sportier SE has thicker, solid anti-roll bars to tighten up the road-holding — the front bar is 25 millimeters (0.8-inches thicker) while the rear is 16 millimeters (0.1-inch thicker). Engineers changed the dampers, springs, and rubber bushings on the SE's front MacPherson strut and dual-link rear suspension to introduce a 0.2-inch-lower ride height and firmer handling. Additional front and rear chassis bracing help increase torsional rigidity, and the underbody is smoothed to speed up airflow, a desirable aerodynamic action (unless you really want lift). The drive is a little noisier with the semi-aggressive Toyo tires, but don't be fooled by the SE badge. This is a family-hauler first and foremost, and there is a lot of comfort to be found in this trim.Outside, an aggressively sculpted body kit appears to drop the car closer to the ground. The Camry's familial front grille is replaced with a mesh-style "honeycomb" piece that looks a little less dorky compared to the rest of the line. A low-profile trunk spoiler is presumably responsible for a negligible amount of rear downforce, and makes for a slightly showier ride when waiting for the kids in the school parking lot. Worry not, it's still unassuming. The wide, flat, leather-trimmed seats provide a comfortable base for buttocks of various sizes, and every aspect related to ergonomics is impeccably arranged. Some would say the interior is plain, but every switch is within easy reach on the center stack. It would be nice if the SE had the top-line XLE/Hybrid's multi-information display. Without it, the Camry's blue Optitron gauge cluster looks a little empty with its massive tachometer and speedometer, along with the little digital readout strip for the odometer and trip meters. Toyota found reason to separate the moonroof's tilt and slide functions into two buttons, meaning you get twice as many moonroof control switches. Somehow, it all comes together.Our 2007 Car of the Year took the golden calipers four years ago, a not-unsubstantial amount of time in the typical auto cycle. The Camry is certainly aging, but with concerns of higher material and manufacturing costs being reflected in the MSRP in a stacked and more cutthroat segment, we wonder how and when America's family sedan will break out of its humble shell to show its competitors who's boss — as it has done plenty of times in the past. 2011 Toyota Camry SE V-6 BASE PRICE $28,850 VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, FWD, 5-pass, 4-door sedan ENGINE 3.5L/268-hp/248-lb-ft DOHC 24-valve V-6 TRANSMISSION 6-speed automatic CURB WEIGHT 3500 lb (mfr) WHEELBASE 109.3 in LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT 189.2 x 71.7 x 57.7 in 0-60 MPH 6.1 sec (MT est) EPA CITY/HWY FUEL ECON 20/29 mpg ENERGY CONSUMPTION, CITY/HWY 169/116 kW-hrs/100 miles (est) CO2 EMISSIONS 0.83 lb/mile (est) ON SALE IN U.S. Currently Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email First Drive: 2011 Toyota Camry SE V-6 /7 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 7 2 | 7 3 | 7 4 | 7 5 | 7 6 | 7 7 | 7

The question of whether or not a worker is an independent contractor or an employee is a contentious one. In some instances, it is very clear how a worker is classified. In other situations, such as the truckers at the Port Authority, it is not as clear-cut. The main issue in cases like this one, which resolved with Pacer truck drivers winning $2 million, is that being classified as independent contractors would and did deny them overtime pay. Being misclassified is a violation of federal and state laws.
The $2 million Pacer Cartage verdict, handed down by a Superior Court Judge, stated the truckers were indeed employees and not independent contractors. Seven drivers filed a class action lawsuit stating they did not receive sick leave, health care or overtime pay because they were classified as independent contractors.
The court pointed out in its decision that the truckers could not be independent contractors because they did not have any control over setting rates or prices, had to fill out job applications, were required to adhere to Pacer's rules with regard to deliveries, had to sublease their vehicles from the company, had no control over dates or times for deliveries, were required to be on call and had to restrict how much they drove every year or be surcharged. The less discretion and control a worker has, the higher the likelihood they are an employee and not an independent contractor.
The decisive factor in this lawsuit was the fact Pacer had purchased new trucks with emission control devices allowing them to service the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports. Pacer then subleased the trucks back to the truckers. Similar lawsuits with truckers as plaintiffs are pending and this decision may have significant ramifications in the outcome of those suits.
Violating labor laws is a quick way to be sued for significant sums of money. In just about every case, the defendants would have been better off financially following existing wage and hour rules and regulations.
If you are in a situation like this one, consult with a knowledgeable employment attorney. It is in your own best interests to find out your legal rights.

AqWiki - About
I needed a wiki to import existing data into, and discovered that all existing wiki make that nigh on impossible, so I wrote my own.
- Sensible (textile) formatting
- Clean URL structure
- Anti-Magic
- Authentication system
- Macros
- Multiple wiki on a single install/db
Most existing wiki are far too "magic", they have special pages for too many things. aqWiki has only one magic page, which is for creating new users. Everything else is within tags. So a "recent Edits" page is just a page with "[[RECENT]]" in it. A search is [[SEARCH|terms]] and the contents of a variable will be printed by [[GETVAR|varname]] (And since var can be a HTTP "get" variable, you can do [[SEARCH|[[GETVAR|query]]]] so "http://wikihost/wiki/search?query=glob" (where the wiki page "search" contains [[SEARCH|[[GETVAR|query]]]]) will search the wiki for the word "glob". This is simpler than it sounds)
Where is it being used?
Currently my workplace use it as a brain-dump, and my life is run though an install of it on my local server.
What does it need?
PHP, Apache with Mod_Rewrite, and the Pear DB library
For databases, currently mysql4. But that's only because I haven't written the generic modules yet. Eventually it'll work with loads of databases and even flat files.
How do I get it?
You don't. Well, you can. You can grab the source from CVS should you want to, but it's a little complicated to install right now, and I haven't written any docs.
A quick guide?
Very well. check out the module "aqwiki" from CVS and put it somewhere you can see it on a web server. Enable mod_rewrite for that directory on the web server. Create a new database of whatever name you like, give someone permissions to edit it, and run the sql script in "support/tables.sql" to set up the initial tables. Then, edit "etc/aqwiki.ini" to reflect your own reality. Even if you don't want anyone else to create any new wiki, you should set "newwiki" to "true" so you can start the first one.
I don't understand! How do you...?
Hense the "You don't" above. Wait until I get it released properly and with docs.
It works! But..

Is there anywhere I can see it working?

Full text not available from this repository.
A pioneering archaeological survey of the intertidal zone in Strangford Lough was undertaken between 1995-2000. In the course of the work, excavation was undertaken at a stone structure that produced evidence for three sea-powered horizontal mills. The mills are situated beside the famous early monastery of Nendrum. They formed an important part of the monastic complex from the early 7th through to the 8th centuries. The archaeological evidence demonstrates the high level of development in mill technology at that period.

Volume 29, No. 47 Monday, March 10, 2014
Employment Numbers: Employment numbers for Liberty County have shown steady improvement during the past two years. Texas Workforce Commission reports January unemployment for Liberty County was 7.8 percent. That is a drop from the first month of 2012 when unemployment was 10.1 percent. The nationwide unemployment figure was 6.6 percent in January while the Texas rate is now down to 5.7 percent. Of the 145.22 million people across America reportedly working during January, 12.3 million live right here in Texas. That means about 1 out of 12 jobs nationally is here in the Lone Star State.
Primary Runoff: Once the dust settled following last Tuesday's Primary Election, there are now three local Republican races to be settled with a runoff. Both Democrats and Republicans also have at least one statewide runoff contest. Those party runoff elections are set for May 27. Anyone who voted in the March 4 primary election can only cast a ballot in that same party's runoff. So, if you voted in the GOP primary, you can not vote in the Democrat primary runoff and vice versa. However, those who did not vote in either primary are eligible to participate in the party runoff of their choice on May 27.
Veterans Parade: Plans are under way for the first Liberty County Veterans Recognition Parade on June 7. Mark McClelland, retired USAF colonel and former Liberty County tax collector, is working with county veterans' associations and local officials to make that parade a reality. While the parade is specifically intended to honor World War II vets, military veterans of all ages and branches of service are invited to take part. Mr. McClelland said they will need floats and sponsors. Contact information will be announced soon, but for now, mark June 7 on your calendar for that veterans' recognition parade.
Dayton: The City of Dayton has been working on a $2.6 million water well project for some time. City Manager David Douglas said, once rehab on the storage tank is complete, they will advertise for bids for a new pump station. That project should be complete, with water pumping to citizens, by late May.

The Shy Writer
I started trying to write a novel when I was seventeen—"trying" in the sense of playing around with a story, writing scenes that interested me. I took that approach for many years, just having fun with it. I didn't do a whole lot with it in college, but after I graduated and was at home with my first baby, I retrieved the folder containing my writing from my parents' house and got into it (tangent: that infant daughter is now APPLYING TO GRADUATE SCHOOL. AAAAAAAAAAAHH! Where did the time go?)
Okay. Whew. Back to the topic at hand. At first, I was shy about my writing. I would work on it when my husband wasn't home, and (this is a little silly) I even gave some computer files fake names like "letter 9-19" or whatever it was, so if he stumbled across the files, they would look like letters to my family (this was in the pre-email days, so I occasionally wrote an actual letter. Dark ages, huh?). My sister (who is now the Evil HR Lady and a business blogger for CBS) wrote some fiction too, so she was the first person I showed my work to.
Even when I got further in the process of writing a novel, I was still shy about it. I didn't want to write if anyone could see what I was writing (unless the person was a child too young to read). If someone walked past the computer screen, I could minimize that screen at the speed of light. But eventually I got to the point where I was seeking feedback on full drafts—but only from my family. Some experts may say that family members don't make good feedback-givers, but I haven't found that to be true. My family has been extremely helpful. I should give them chocolate.
I suppose it's kind of a funny thing that I was so private about what I was doing when my goal was to publish the book so a bunch of strangers—the more the better!—could read it. But I'm betting I'm not the only writer who was shy in the early stages. Heck, even in the later stages, there's plenty to be shy about, don't you think? Creating stories in our minds and at our keyboards, shaping them as best we can with dialogue and semicolons and verbs—then taking those stories and putting them in the public eye, vulnerable, inviting comments from anyone who wants to praise or criticize. But when you love to write, that risk is worth it, and the "I loved your book! It kept me up until three in the morning!" makes it easier to weather the "This book stunk on this, this, this, and THAT level." And believe me, once you publish, you will get some negative reviews among the positive, no matter how good your book is. Gone With the Wind has 10,175 one-star Goodreads ratings, for goodness sake. Yoooouuu willll noootttt esccaaappe (Oh, sorry. Went all Halloween there for a moment).
In some ways, I've become a lot less shy about my writing. When I'm working on a project, I usually leave the file open, minimized at the bottom of the screen—gasp! I'm not too worried about someone picking up my computer and sneaking a peek—I don't think anyone in my household is that curious about my current work-in-progress. I usually don't send my manuscripts out for test reads until the third draft. Of course, if I got really mad at someone, I could torment him or her by sending a first draft (Me: "Read this. You'll love it. Bwahahahaha!" Test reader, after a few chapters: "Noooooooo! Aaaaaaah! What is this?" (flees shrieking to Barnes and Noble and builds a protective fort out of copies of The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them) and annotated editions of War and Peace). But I'm usually not THAT mean—at least not in real life. My characters might have a different opinion.

Find SHADOWED (just in time for Halloween, too!)
Gifted musician Catherine Clayton was born into a life of wealth and privilege. Following the death of her father, she makes a bold decision she hopes would make him proud: she's using the family money to establish a music school and offer free lessons to the underprivileged. A providential suggestion from an old college friend leads Catherine to select Riley, New York, as the perfect location for her new school. Hit hard by the economic downturn, Riley personifies economic hardship: peeling paint, overgrown landscapes, and damaged buildings. But the damage runs much deeper than Catherine first realizes.
Two years ago, Riley was rocked by weeks of vandalism, followed by the brutal murder of beautiful elementary school secretary Olivia Perry. Everyone in town loved Olivia—but especially the two men with whom she was caught in a love triangle. Though the murder remains unsolved, Catherine receives ominous warnings that one of these men, Adam Becket, is responsible for her death. Unimpressed by the lack of evidence against him, Catherine is drawn to the shy but endearing Adam. Could he really have been involved in Olivia's murder?
Just as Catherine is settling in and getting to know Adam, a vandal strikes again, and it's eerily reminiscent of the events surrounding Olivia's murder. The death threats splashed on the walls prove that the killer is back—and this time, it's Catherine who wonders if she's come to the wrong place at the wrong time.

Almost everyone needs help with their business marketing. If you are a Pilates or yoga instructor, especially if you have a studio, you might be thinking, " Great, I know how to teach, but no one gave me any training in marketing." You don't know what to do, really. You might think of things like advertisements and websites, and you would be right, those things are important, but not the first thing you need according to Pilates and yoga business marketing mentor Kylie Saunder.

What you need first, Kylie says, is a vision for your business. You have to get very clear on what you want from your business and how you want to participate in it. Questions to ask yourself right up front include: Who do I want to work with? How much do I want to work? When do I want to work? Are nights and/or weekends OK? If so, how often? Do I really want a studio? Once you open to exploring questions like these you might find there are more options than you think, and those can lead to a more satisfying business as well as creative marketing.

You might think you can't afford to honor to your own wants -- that you just have to do your best on as many fronts as you can these days. Maybe you are afraid to define yourself for fear of alienating a potential client. But what Kylie says is that clarifying what you want, and what's special about what you have to offer, is the critical piece you need to differentiate yourself from the pack. If you're not working with the right types of people from day 1, you're not branding yourself and getting the right referrals, she says.

With the right "mindset" as Kylie calls setting your intention, being true to yourself and courageous in your marketing, your personal lifestyle, your business and your marketing can actually thrive in harmony. As we go on, Kylie fills us in on how you can do your brand your style, and stay out of common marketing traps.

Trap #1: Copycat Marketing

Don't fall into the trap of looking to other Pilates studios to know what to do, Kylie cautions. For example, a trap people fall into, she says, is to look at local prices and try to win by being a cheaper. That can work in the short-run, but in the long run, you won't be building the sustainable business that reflects anything special about you. If you can make what's special about you and your business stand out, you can charge properly for that.

Another copy-cat trap Kylie cites is to think you have to give the same kinds of classes other studios are giving. If, for example, everyone is running 75-minute reformer classes but that doesn't really work for you, don't do it. Be creative. What about a 30-minute express class instead? If everyone is teaching reformer, maybe you emphasize props or circuit training, she says. And the same kind of out-of-the-box thinking needs to go into what you say in your marketing. You won't stand out if you market yourself saying the same things everyone else says.

Don't try to do marketing that doesn't feel right to you just because "everyone" is doing it or saying things a certain way. Kylie gives the example of social media marketing, one of my pet peeves when I counsel people as well. If you are in business, you are going to have the idea that everyone has to market on Twitter (how Kylie and I met) and Facebook shoved down your throat. But is that for you? Is it where your clients are? If you hate it, Kylie says, it's not going to work for you. If you love it and your clients are there, great. There is no one formula. The point, as Kylie says, is to be grounded in who you are. "If you just copy what everybody says you have to do... you won't be successful. What you choose has to fit with who you are. Listen to your intuition."

Marketing to peers and not prospective clients is another trap lots Pilates teachers in particular fall into. Being different and connecting with the right clients is not about your Pilates or yoga training, Kylie says. Clients assume you have training and in any case, most don't know what your training means. Nor is it about putting Joseph Pilates or the history of Pilates on your homepage. What does that mean to clients, she asks? Nothing. What you need to do to help your business is speak your clients' language.

Trap #2: Not Talking to People About Your Business

You need to be able to articulate what you are offering in a way that draws the right clients to you. The clients you have, the ones that are like the ones you want more of, can teach you how to do that. But, this is where a lot of teachers run into some inner resistance, Kylie observes. It's easy to ask, "How was class?" and get an "It was great," but, she says, you have to dig deeper. You have to find out what benefits your clients are receiving from your classes -- how they feel after and how that affects their lives. Listen to what they say and how they say it. They are telling you what is important to them as well as what kinds of descriptions make sense to them, and to more people like them. Chances are, Saunder points out, clients are not going to use standard Pilates terms like "long, lean muscles" or "efficient movement". If you can use what they do say, you can attract more clients who want those benefits.

Not only do you need to talk to your clients, but you need to get out into your community. That's where your clients are, and that's where you will find out what they want and spot niches you can fill. Does touting the fact that Pilates can give you a body like Pippa Middleton or a ballet dancer really making sense in an area where the majority of your clients are looking for relief from aches and pains and better posture? Some clientele is interested in having a celebrity body or a dancers' body. If that is a niche in your area, and that's what you want to teach, then by all means, put it out there. It's not a formula but rather a willingness to be creative and unique and to listen. That way you get an enduring match between the life you want to live and finding clients who want your work.

Now, here's another piece of courage you'll want to muster up: You must get out into your neighborhood. Kylie points out that people miss many cross promotion opportunities by not getting out and looking for them. Have you introduced yourself to your business neighborhood? If your neighbor knows what you do they can tell someone else. Too many people open Pilates or yoga studios, do a little advertising -- which may or may not be targeted at who they are and who they want to teach -- and then hang around waiting for clients to walk in the door. As Kylie says, if you are not willing to get clear in your marketing and do what it takes to meet people and get clients, a Pilates business can be a very expensive hobby.

Trap #3: "I Must Need More Training"

Do you need more training or do you need good marketing? So often, Kylie says, we have confidence when we're teaching but rarely were we trained in promotion and marketing. Then, when clients don't show up, we default to the idea that we need more training. Oh, if I only knew more about backs or shoulders or certain populations, we think. And now another $500 to $1,000 dollars is out the door and you still haven't invited the people you need in. Your professional development is important, Kylie assures, but another training or another piece of equipment isn't going to bring in more clients. Get the clients then get training to serve them, she says.

If you are a Pilates or yoga instructor who got their teacher training, you have to trust yourself that you have enough to offer. Kylie points out that no one is likely to come along and give you permission to be an expert. An expert, she says, is someone who knows more than the person next to them. Too many instructors think they can't give workshops, for example, because they know others who know more than they do. But, Kylie says, if you can help someone else you can offer your service, even if you've only been teaching six months. By example, Kylie says, maybe you had an injury that Pilates helped you recover from. You know a lot about that. You don't have to be a "master teacher" to do a basic knee workshop or something similar.

Much of what we've talked about is working from what Kylie calls the "right mindset". It's about giving yourself permission to be who you are and letting that be your brand -- easy. Then, you decide who you want to work with and figure out how to talk to them. That's your marketing. It's a relief when you see that being yourself can work in your favor in marketing. As Kylie says: Joseph Pilates was unique. Stand up and inject your uniqueness into your own business!
