What started out as a cool October evening soon turned hot and sweaty as hundreds of fans packed in to Boston's Paradise Rock Club on Sunday night to see the return of soulful dance punks Gossip.
Apache Beat started off the night right with music Sam C. describes as "dark new wave." This Brooklyn-bred band features guest spots from members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lightspeed Champion and The Rapture on their debut album. Sunday's show marked their last night on the tour, and both Men and Gossip were sad to see them go.
Speaking of MEN, what started out as a DJ/remix team of Le Tigre members Johana Fateman and JD Samson has turned into a full blown dance party. A self-described "band and art performance collective," MEN consists of Samson, Michael O'Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi as the live band with Fateman and artist Emily Roysdon contributing as writers, consultants and producers. MEN are on a mission to unleash the radical potential of dance music, combining political lyrics on topics like war, civil liberties and gender politics with club ready beats.
For a band that played their first show ever this past April, they sure have their performance down pat—from the brightly colored stage wear to the cardboard cutouts held aloft by friends standing onstage. While not punk in sound, the band is definitely punk in attitude. "This song is about making gay babies" said JD before starting "Credit Card Babie$," a song about reproductive options played against a backdrop of giant cardboard hands reading "Fuck Your Best" and "Fuck Your Friends" respectively. "Off Our Backs," one of the band's best songs, was recently remixed by Jeppe from Junior Senior. The audience seemed to really enjoy MEN as indicated by the sizeable crowd checking out their merch table after their set.
The lights then went down and it was time for Gossip. The band opened with "Dimestore Diamond," the first track on their newest album and first Columbia Records studio release, Music For Men. By the third song, Singer Beth Ditto was down to a base garment and one sheer layer of what had once been a three layer dress. Her shoes were ditched shortly thereafter. While Ditto has become a fashion plate of sorts, palling around with Karl Lagerfeld and designing her own plus-sized clothing line for British retailer Evans, she is not one to let fashion impede her performance. If it is uncomfortable during a show or is distracting her from giving her all, it comes off.
Ditto told the crowd that she had been nervous about the success of this tour, since it was Gossip's first US tour in three years. Although the band has reaches superstar status in the UK with 2006′s "Standing In The Way Of Control" reaching Number 1 on the UK charts, the band remains relatively unknown in the US. It seems that Ditto's concerns were for naught, as The Paradise was filled with old and new fans of all ages, including a few familiar faces. At the begining of the show, a woman in the front caught Ditto's eye and she immediately ran over to give the woman a kiss telling everyone "This is my friend Charlotte. I've known her since 2000 and she's been at every Gossip show in Boston."
Some immediate differences from past Gossip tours,included a synthesizer setup for guitarist Brace Paine in addition to his primary instrument and a touring bassist to fill out their live sound. And while Gossip may have cleaned up their sound since their low-fi beginings, Ditto's voice is still as powerful as ever. Whether she's singing one of her many well-crafted melodies or shouting at the top of her lungs, Beth Ditto is a force of nature.
Fans hoping to hear more of Gossip's older material may have been a little disappointed with the show since the band's set mostly focused on newer material. In addition to opener "Dimestore Diamond," the band played Men standout tracks "Four Letter Word," "Men In Love" and "Love Long Distance." Their back catalog was represented by "(Don't) Make Waves" and "Yesterday's News" from 2000′s Movement and "Yr Mangled Heart" and "Listen Up" from their 2006 star-making record Standing In The Way Of Control, the latter featuring the first verse of Talking Head's "Psychokiller" for an intro.
For their encore, Ditto—dressed in nothing but a foundation garment and bra with a towel wrapped around her head—invited all of the members of the opening bands as well as her touring hairdresser on stage for an audience participation sing along of the Tina Turner classic "What's Love Got to do With It?" The band closed with a blistering version of their anti-Bush, pro-civil rights anthem "Standing In The Way Of Control" complete with a shoutout to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" during the bridge that had the audience shouting along and pumping their fists in the air.
Gossip will be touring the US with MEN until October 26th, after which they will play a few gigs in their home state of Arkansas before heading over to Europe for the month of November. MEN will be touring with electro-clash queen Peaches until mid November. Apache Beat will be showcasing at this year's CMJ Music Marathon. Check them out of you can!

P1 = Incident Electromagnetic Power
P2 = Transmitted power with shielding in place
R = Reflection loss
A = Absorption loss
C = correction term for re-reflection within the metal surfaces
Furthermore, according to [1], the correction term (C) is usually of small magnitude and is ignored when the absorption loss is greater than about 10dB.
According to [1], the reflection loss for plane waves is as follows:
And absorption loss is:
µ = Permeability of the material
g = Conductivity of the material
µ0 = Permeability of free space (4πx10-7 h/m)
gcu = Conductivity of Copper (5.8x107 S/m)
µr = Permeability relative to Copper
gr = Conductivity relative to Copper
f = Frequency in Hz
d = Thickness of material in meters
According to [2], the properties of sea water are as follows:
Combining these values, we find that one meter of sea water has a shielding effectiveness of approximately 125dB at 1Hz, dipping to 101dB at approximately 50kHz, and then increases log-linearly to over 500dB at 1GHz. This curve is shown in figure 1, below. Changing the distance between the noise source and the receiver effects only the slope of the absorption curve – at 10m distance, the knee of the curve moves to 0.1MHz, and this trend continues as depth increases.
As most EMI screen rooms afford 100 dB shielding, and do an effective job at blocking outside radiation, it seems appropriate to consider the system to be contained within a very good Faraday cage.

Spent a very lazy Sunday watching the NFL Conference Championship games and sipping on a very nice California red blend. I chose a CA wine because I was rooting for the San Francisco Forty Niners. That worked out nicely because the closest I came to having a wine while rooting for any of the other teams was one from the Republic of Georgia. My wine was a Ghost Pines Red Blend 2009 ($16)
In 1964 Louis P. Martini, son of Napa pioneer and icon Louis M. Martini,
purchased 178 acres of land in the eastern hills of the Napa Valley. The Martini family
developed this land into a vineyard and named it Ghost Pines as a tribute
to the native grey pines, which at dusk, appear to hover, solitary
and ghostlike throughout the coastal valleys.
The blend is 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Petite Sirah, 22% Zinfandel, 10% Merlot, 6% Syrah and the grapes come from several wine growing counties. 46% Napa County, 36% Sonoma County and 18% San Joaquin County.
Color was a dark ruby red with aromas of blackberry, some spice with a little leather and hints of pipe tobacco, almost like the bowl of a well used Briar pipe.
Real nice flavors of blackberry, blueberry, anise and cinnamon filled the mouth. Finish was very long with dark berries and some spice and black pepper.
I poured my first glass upon opening the bottle. That first glass was peppery with a little spice and a kind of vinyl aroma. I waited about 90 minutes before pouring a second glass and found the aromas and flavors to be more pleasing. I would recommend that you open at least an hour or so, before serving. I finished the wine with a roast beef dinner. Great wine with the beef. Pleasant wine, nice value, highly recommended.

Investigators are still working on the case and are asking anybody with information about the fight to call Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000.
ORIGINAL: Two men are in the hospital after a violent bar brawl in Charlottesville. Police say the fight ended with gun shots and stabbings.
Charlottesville police say the fight started around 1:30 a.m. Saturday inside the Buffalo Wild Wings on Emmet Street and then moved into the parking lot. Investigators believe about 20 people were involved in the fight.
A 22-year-old man from Albemarle County and a 22-year-old man from Charlottesville are both recovering from stab wounds. They are currently in stable condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Police say a woman was also injured after being punched during the fight.
"We don't have any particulars as to what created or what started the argument that occurred in the business or in the parking lot area other than the fact that there was large group reported in the middle of the parking lot when the officers arrived," said Lt. Ronnie Roberts of the Charlottesville Police Department.
Police did make one arrest on the scene - 20-year-old Antwan Chambers of Buckingham County. Investigators believe he's the one who fired gun shots during the brawl. Chambers is charged with reckless use of a firearm, under age possession of alcohol, possession of a firearm while having a controlled substance, possession of one count of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of one count of marijuana with intent to distribute.

News - Afghanistan
At least one person was killed and six others injured in a blast at a commercial market in the eastern province of Nangarhar on Wednesday, local officials said.
Speaking to TOLOnews, provincial spokesman Ahmad Zia Abdulzai said that the incident occurred in Ghanikhil District at around 4:00 pm local time.
"The attacked occurred as a result of the explosion of IEDs planted under the stairway of a commercial market in Ghanikhil District," Abdulzai said. All the victims were civilians, he added.
One person was detained after police found a suspicious object in front of his shop in the same market.
No groups, including the Taliban, have claimed responsibility for the attack.
Suicide attacks and insurgent activities are increasing across the country as the spring fighting season starts.
Also on Wednesday, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives under an army bus in the capital Kabul, wounding 10 people, including four civilians.
A would-be suicide bomber was shot dead by Afghan security forces near a diplomatic enclave in central Kabul on Sunday. A car full of explosive devices was seized and defused.
Security facilities in Kabul, Nangarhar and Logar have come under attack this week.

Gov. Martin O'Malley says Maryland probably will be working on various glitches in the state's online marketplace for health insurance for as long as another month and a half, but improvements are being made every day.
The governor spoke Friday about progress on improving Maryland Health Connection, the online portal where people can shop for health plans and enroll in them. It ran into problems when it opened Oct. 1.
O'Malley says about 1,000 people have enrolled in a plan. But he says it's not unexpected that enrollments would be low now, as people focus on shopping around. The governor also underscored that coverage won't begin until January, so there is plenty of time for people to enroll.
The state says more than 25,000 people have created accounts.

Draft Week Post #8: Oiler Draft Facts
There are many stories about the Edmonton Oilers at the draft table that I can share with you. The time they drafted an ineligible player (Robin Kovar) which caused the Vancouver Canucks table to scream "cheaters" at the Oiler table. It would have been a better story if Kovar had done something as a pro hockey player, but then again the Oilers drafted him.
I kid.
Here are a few draft items I've collected over the years. Feel free to add in and pile on.
- In the year of Shane Doan, the draft was held at Northlands in Edmonton. The Oilers walked to the table with cheers of "Doan, Doan, Doan" and selected Steve Kelly as a giant FU to the Oiler faithful. What you may not know is that John Short took the time to ask some of the drafting group how much of a gap there was between the two players. Razor thin was the response. Never let it be said that the Edmonton Oilers give in to pressure.
- When they selected Alex Plante in the first round in 2007, it marked the first time a defenseman had been drafted by the Oilers in that round since Mathieu Descoteaux in 1996. In both seasons, the defenseman was the second player taken in the round (Boyd Devereaux in '96, Sam Gagner in '07).
- The most popular position in the first round for the last decade or so has been center, with Jesse Niinimaki, Marc Pouliot, Rob Schremp, Andrew Cogliano, Sam Gagner, Riley Nash and Jordan Eberle all being selected since 2002. In the same span, they've chosen one goalie (Dubnyk) and one defenseman (Plante), plus franchise winger Taylor Hall. No wingers (none!) were chosen in the first round 2002-2008.
- The selection of Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson in 2009 represents the highest ranked European choice in team history.
- MPS was also the highest ranked winger chosen since Steve Kelly in 1995 (Ryan Smyth was taken the previous season).
- Taylor Hall of course is the highest ranked player and winger ever drafted by the organization.
- During the "Coke Machine" era, the Oilers would routinely draft kids 40+ slots before one might have expected them to go. Geoff Paukovich was NA#80 (which would put him well into the 100s overall) in 2004 and they picked him 57th overall, dealing NHLer Jason Chimera for the right to do it. JF Jacques was ranked #88NA in 2003 and they picked him 68th overall. MBS has done it once, taking Cameron Abney miles before he was projected to be drafted.
- Despite going 248th overall in 2003, Josef Hrabel was ranked #30 Euro by Central Scouting. His ridiculous hgt/wgt ratio (6-1, 176) probably helped the slide.
- Rob Schremp fell big time. ISS had him top 5 and CSB had him #10NA but he fell all the way to #25. Mike Green went to Washington 4 picks later and he was ranked #9NA.
- Every year the Oilers say they tried to trade up. They've been after Pitkanen, Coburn, Barker, Alzner, usually defensemen but it never works out.
- The Oilers DO trade a lot on draft day but it's usually down. The infamous Parise-Pouliot deal, the Niinimaki-Higgins trade are just two, although they did trade up for Riley Nash.
- The 2002 trade that saw them send Jochen Hecht to Buffalo for 2 second-rounders featured Darcy Regier looking like he was about to pass out with glee on the draft floor. Seriously.
- Steve Tambellini on the draft floor looks like Mr. Krabs, wandering around calling people "me boy", asking bewildering questions, bothering staff with superfluous suggestions and mispronouncing the names of Oiler drafts and the colleges they played for last year. He also has some kind of issue with every phone on the table.
- Stu MacGregor looks like the guy who can't wait for the suits to leave and secretly hopes the GM will fall asleep. He disconnected all the phones 20 minutes ago.
- Darl Katz looks like the guy invited by the owner to sit at the draft table.
- Garnet Bailey was a scout after spending a little time coaching once his playing career ended.
- When they drafted Messier, several references in newspapers mentioned he was "raw-boned." That phrase is seldom used these days.
- Jari Kurri lasted until the 69th pick in 1980 because NHL teams were convinced he would remain in Finland for military duties.
- Scott Metcalfe was compared to two-way LW Dave Hunter the day he was drafted.
- We've talked about him a lot on this blog, but Tony Hand is the most interesting human interest story Edmonton drafted.
- Through about 1983, the Oilers basically buggered the other NHL teams senseless at the draft table. They were that good.
- Draft years go sideways very quickly. I always use the 5 year window as a "tell", meaning we can call the 2005 draft (too many small guys, specifically Chorney) but college kids (like Vande Velde in 2005 and Horcoff 7 years earlier) can save a draft.
- The 2007 draft–despite three first round picks–has a bad taste. Plante was a raw player and he suffered major injury problems during key development years; I believe the 2007 was the final straw for Kevin Prendergast's time in the director's chair. After the Parise-Pouliot and Niinimaki drafts, not getting two players the team valued from three first round picks cost him his job. The fact that the draft was weak did him no good.
- The 2010 draft is years from being properly judged, but so far the Oilers group looks very good. It's hard to find down arrows in the group and the up arrows fill the sky.

As I stroll through the Mueller neighborhood in Austin, TX, I see parks, fountains, two-door garage homes – absolutely nothing out of the ordinary – just your average suburban neighborhood. But I know better.
Under the surface of this community lives the most "connected" network of energy customers in the country. Mueller is the launching site for Pecan Street Inc.'s living smart-grid research project and, according to a recent issue of Time Magazine, America's Smartest City.
The Time article features homeowners who generate and make money on their solar panels, while enjoying access to minute-by-minute energy use data. It shows their sense of stewardship and empowerment.
The story does a good job summarizing the mission of Pecan Street, of which Environmental Defense Fund is a founding member and environmental partner. But the author misses one important point when he writes: "The rest of America may never realize Mueller's vision for the future."
The truth is, we have cause for a lot more optimism than that. We believe that the Mueller model is scalable and EDF is working hard to make sure the rest of the country can also enjoy the benefits of a smarter, cleaner home. Read More

I had some time off coming to me so decided to go to Santorini as part of my trip to Athens and Turkey. I could not resist going out to a few of the island's wineries. While there were quite a few, I settled on three to visit. I was looking forward seeing a brand new wine area, one with a very unique vine management approach which wrap their vines into shapes of baskets to keep the fruits inside and low to the ground.
The first one I visited as Sigalas which is located just outside of Oia where I was staying. It was a steep decent into the lowlands from the cliffs. I was looking forward to seeing the vines but I was shocked to see that they had used the trellis systems. The person in the winery told us that this was experimental only and that the rest of the winery was more traditional. I went out into the vineyard and did find the traditional system but the vines were growing at a large rate and made the vines look almost like bushes. Still it was interesting to see.
2006 Santorini AOC/OPAP
Pretty pale gold color. Nose was like a unoaked chardonnay, but some citrus notes but not overtly strong. Very dry, crisp, and round mouth feel (13% alcohol for this guy). Good density of flavours and medium finish but it was the acidity that made this appealing. I would have this wine as a daily quaffer.
2005 Oia Barrel AOC Bit darker in colour as this one has seen oak. On the nose, very different, with honey, still good fruitiness but I can't pull out the fruit and definitely not overtly oaked, just a hint of vanilla. I agreed with the presenter that this tasted a bit like a dry Riesling in mouthfeel especially.
2003 Santorini AOC
This wine is starting to tire, the wine is flatter, the acidity is toned way down, still a bit of smokiness and nice minerality that is a bit more evident. Needs drinking quick…
2005 Niabelo Red: umm…tannic, acidic, lean, discombobulated….
2004 Niabelo Red: umm…tannic, acidic, lean, discombobulated….no improvement with age.
2005 Mezzo: Drinks a bit like a late harvest Riesling, nice, crisp and still all the inherent flavours of the Assyrtiko, but only more dense. Pretty.
2003 Vinsanto: This was the best wine I had on the island. Nose of preserved prunes (chinese "Wah Mui"), honey, molasses, musty, etc,….complex enough to stand up to a good LBV port. Very thick, very dark in colour, good mouth feel and a long length. However, the assyrtiko acidity kept things very fresh still.
The next winery was Santos Winery. What a beautiful site. It is at the very top of the cliff with about a 300m/1000ft down to a Mediterranean bay, located just South of Fira. They have probably the largest winery facility on the island and would not look out of place on I-29 in Napa…only it is bigger than most of those. Impressive.
2006 Santorini Assyrtico. Light hay in colour, very dry with okay aromatic nose, very light, High on the acidity but little fruit.
2006 Santorini Nykteri. A blend of Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani. Brought the wine a bit more fruitiness but the body suffered as it was no longer a crisp. A bit more fruit on the nose but only a bit.
2006 Vedema Rose.
This is a combination of Assyrtiko and Mandilaria, slightly sweeter on palate, good acidity but very little to go back for.
2005 Vedema Red
From the red Mandilaria variety, Medium garnet in colour, Nose was muted, and on palate, thin, tannic, and a hint of strawberries. No exactly crowd pleaser.
2005 Mezzo(?):
A bit like a simple late harvest Riesling, only lacking in the nose and despite acidity, it is a bit flat.
2003 Vinsanto
Blended from Assyrtico and Aidani with several months in oak barrels. Again, very dark and nose of Chinese preserved prunes spices, raisins and molasses. Good mouthfeel but lacked the presense and structure of the Sigalas version
The wines were okay, sound but not very much beyond that. But the winery is definitely worth a visit if for nothing but the view. Their tomato paste though was very very nice.
The last winery was Boutari Winery located in the south part of the island. They are the largest winery but the customer center was nothing like Santos. Perhaps they put the money into the wine….. We only tried three wines.
2006 Assyrtiko
Pale gold hay in colour, citric nose, high acidity and very crisp, dry, though a decently rounded mouthfeel.
2006 Santorini Assyrtiko
Pale gold hay in colour, muted but more elegant nose with some citric elements, Nice vervy acidity to give a good structure, still round mouthfeel and a lingering lemon peel scent. Medium- body, okay drinker.
2003 Vinsanto
Dark amber in colour, Typical nose now of Chinese "Wah Mui" but not as raw or powerful, bit more elegant, brown sugar, mollasses. Nice mouthfeel and good balance with the acidity. Long finish
All in all, confirmed a few things about Greek wines that we learn and there were a few surprises too. Part of a great trip and would go back any day.

The Surfing Heritage and Culture Center (SHACC), in conjunction with Bruce Brown Films, will host a "red carpet" gala May 3, 2014 at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, in Huntington Beach, California. The event will be a celebration and recognition of Bruce Brown and the 50th Anniversary of The Endless Summer.
According to Paul Strauch, Executive Director of SHACC, "this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime evening for the surfing community. We're going to reunite Bruce Brown with the film's featured surfers, Robert August and Mike Hynson, the film's original publicist, R. Paul Allen, and renowned artist, John Van Hamersveld, who designed the movie's iconic poster," Strauch said.
"Thanks to their combined talents and creativity, The Endless Summer ignited the imaginations of surfers everywhere and popularized the concept of surf travel."
The event will also showcase the Endless Summer 50th Anniversary Exhibition curated by SHACC. This historic exhibit features original movie posters, artwork, cameras and tripod used to make the film, plus a rare collection of Endless Summer memorabilia items, many of which have never been publicly displayed.
"Bruce Brown Films is thrilled to work alongside the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in presenting an exclusive 50th anniversary reunion celebration of The Endless Summer," said Alex Mecl, Managing Director of Bruce Brown Films.
"With SHACC's recent acquisition of the largest and most authentic collection of memorabilia from the film, we are proud to support them in officiating this wonderful tribute to a timeless classic, and bring together the principals that made it possible for the world to enjoy many decades later."

World Plone Day was last wednesday, april the 30th, and as in previous occasions, we did celebrate it at CodeSyntax's offices, with some customers and Plone users of the Basque Country.
Journey to Brussels, thanks to our MEP and Plone
Luistxo Fernandez Dec 05, 2013
Last week, I traveled to the European Parliament in Brussels, invited by a Basque MEP, Inaki Irazabalbeitia. Mr. Irazabalbeitia was kind enought to invite a group of people involved in the promotion of the Basque langauge, and I happened to fit there, maybe also because we have made the MEP's website. And made it with truly European technology, so to speak.
Finally found a way to deploy a Plone site statically
Mikel Larreategi Aug 26, 2013
Until now converting Plone into a bunch of HTML, CSS and JS files was a work to be done with wget or curl. You can now use stxnext.staticdeployment product, a handy product to convert your Plone site into static files. And even works with Dexterity. The "Plone Big Green Button" as described by Martin Aspeli, is a reality.

Basque trends, content and user rankings in Twitter: Umap
Luistxo Fernandez Apr 16, 2013
What is trending in Basque in Twitter? Twitter itself has not the answer. Although in the latest city deployment of Twitter trend locations there is Bilbao there (main Basque city), still it's not a good measure of our community. As a matter of fact, looks like Twitter only treats TT's geographically, not by language. Well, we built that tool for Basque: Umap.eu, tracking Basque trends, content and users in Twitter.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Almost 300 more Wisconsin families will get compensated, after losing their homes to foreclosure from 2008 through 2011.
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced the payments Friday. They're part of the ongoing National Mortgage Settlement, in which five large banks agreed to compensate homeowners victimized by deceptive lending practices during the Great Recession.
The settlement has paid over $51 billion to U.S. homeowners. Recently, Wisconsin reached a settlement with another lender, totaling just over $2 billion.
Van Hollen said the new payments will average just under $1,500 for each affected resident or family.

Utes add more heft to recruiting class
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: January 28, 2013 04:02PM
Updated: January 28, 2013 04:02PM
The Utah Utes historically have made a late push in the recruiting process for some of their better talent and this year seems to be no exception.
A day after Gaius Vaenuku, a defensive end from Euless, Texas picked the Utes, Sese Ianu, a defensive lineman from Golden West College in Huntington Beach, committed to the Utes on Monday.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound tackle was also considering Arizona State, Oregon State, Boise State and Washington State.
In addition, Clarence Smith, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound running back/linebacker from Youngker H.S. in Buckeye, Ariz., also committed to the Utes.
The Utes are planning to host two players this weekend in Pita Taumoepenu, a defensive end from Timpview H.S., and Kylie Fitts, a 6-4, 260-pound highly sought after defensive end who has visited Notre Dame, UCLA and USC.
Adding a guy like Fitts could be the capper on a class that needed some more heft and depth on the line.

Scott Swindeman of Applewood Orchards is one of the
growers involved in the Next Big Thing co-op for SweeTango.
Too many times, when you hear something dubbed "the next big thing," the thing in question fails to meet expectations. However, if the developers of the new SweeTango apple variety have their way, they will hopefully be able to buck that trend.
Scott Swindeman and the folks at Applewood Orchards Inc. in Deerfield, MI, certainly believe this will be the case. Applewood Orchards is part of a select group of growers who are producing SweeTango, the Honeycrisp/Zestar! cross that was developed by breeders at the University of Minnesota. Originally known as MN 1914, SweeTango is a managed variety that will be commercialized by (appropriately) the Next Big Thing, a cooperative made up of 45 partners in seven different states and Canadian provinces. For more information on how this marketing plan is being carried out, check out our Q&A with Next Big Thing president Tim Byrne.
So how were the growers chosen to be a part of the Next Big Thing? For Applewood Orchards, it was a matter of location and simply knowing the right people. Applewood Orchards, located in the Southeast corner of Michigan, is a vertically integrated grower/packer/shipper/marketer of about 500 acres of apples. "Our growing season is a little bit longer than some of the other areas of our state," says Swindeman. "With our growing conditions, we're able to grow larger fruit than common in Michigan."
As for knowing the right people, it was a matter of competition breeding cooperation. Applewood Orchards has long been considered a friendly competitor with Pepin Heights Orchards, the Lake City, MN-based grower licensed by the University of Minnesota to commercialize SweeTango (the Next Big Thing was borne out of Pepin Heights because the company felt it couldn't manage and commercialize SweeTango on its own, says Byrne). "We saw growers like Applewood Orchards and others as good competitors who put out a good product," says Byrne. "Why not have them on your team?"
Swindeman and his son Michael attended an initial co-op meeting on April 24, 2006, in Minneapolis. "I was impressed with the way the program was going to be put together, and especially the talent of the other growers I saw in the room," says Swindeman. "I said to myself, we need to be a part of this."
Buying In
The growers who are members of the Next Big Thing agree on a specific number of bushels they will produce. From there, it's a matter of analyzing your own operation and deciding what planting system, what rootstock, and how much acreage you will need to reach that magic number. In the case of Applewood Orchards, they started by planting 14 acres of SweeTango in the spring of 2008. Everything was trellis-planted on Bud 9, at a little more than 1,000 trees per acre.
The trees were only at second leaf in 2009, so it's a bit too early to determine what type of packout the trees will produce. But Swindeman can already make some observations. "It loves to set fruit — there's no question about that." In these early years, Swindeman is committed to making sure they are able to grow the trees before they start setting too much fruit. "We're a little concerned about cropping the tree too early and shutting it down, and not filling space in the row," he notes.
While it's in the rear view mirror, there are some things Swindeman would consider doing over if he had the chance. "We may have gone to a more vigorous rootstock," he says. In addition, while the trees were planted on replant ground, they may have performed better on virgin soil, says Swindeman.
In the next couple of years, Swindeman will continue to monitor cropping levels and will watch out for any noticeable trends in terms of disease susceptibility, preharvest drop, and other features. As an experienced grower, he's confident they'll be able to work out any of the kinks in producing the apple.
When it comes time for the apple to hit the market, he's perhaps even more confident, thanks partially to the parentage of SweeTango. "I think Honeycrisp has made apple eaters out of people who weren't necessarily apple eaters in the past," he says. "They'd eat an apple now and then, but now that they've got their hands on Honeycrisp and now SweeTango, they literally go nuts over them."
The success of SweeTango will ultimately depend on how it is marketed, and in this area Swindeman has no reservations. "It's not only the apple, it's also the whole group involved in it," he says. "It's a great group of growers all working together as a team. That's a neat thing."

When I'm left to my own devices, and the weather isn't quite nice enough for a motorcycle ride, but isn't too nasty for a walk… this is the kind of thing that happens.
Have you guys met my little sister Jamie?
By day she's a badass RN, and by night an up and coming model.
She's pretty alright I guess. Ha.
We live about a thousand miles apart and don't get to hang out all that often unfortunately, but when I was up in Michigan visiting for the holidays I convinced her to let me whip up some new headshots for her and we had a pretty good time.
I'm pretty confident that the second photo is going to be the one that gets her the most work, but I don't think she's on board with my suggested marketing plan.
Chris Condon is a seriously talented musician. He's back in Germany by the time you'll see this, but while he was home in Atlanta for the holidays we made time to whip up some images for his (as yet unreleased) website and promo materials for an upcoming concert series.
Clearly I've been in a jewel tone kind of mood lately. No apologies.
It's been literally decades since I've watched professional wrestling on television. Back then, The Undertaker was king, Yokozuna was alive and we still called it the WWF.
My good friend Kyle however, has invested quite a bit of time in recent years following not only the top level pro's that you can see televised or on PPV (I am, by the way, amazed that Pay Per View still even a thing) but also the indy guys that bust their asses in bingo parlors and mostly disused Eagle's clubs around the country on a weekly basis. They definitely do it for love, not riches.
During my last visit home over the holidays, Kyle was pretty excited about a show happening in Chicago (well, we'll call it Chicago) and really wanted to make the trip. I consented under the condition that I be able to build a studio and make portraits of the talent. I'm not much of a sports shooter anyway.
I have to say it was a blast. The ladies and gents of AAW Pro Wrestling were exceedingly professional and courteous to the random photographer that they've never heard of (and probably won't again considering I live on the other side of the country) despite being asked to bring their A-Game to a photo session they didn't know was on the schedule until they arrived at the venue.
Everyone was great, and I had a fun time. The only disappointing thing about the entire evening was that I was backstage during the entire show so I didn't get to see any of the matches - including the "fans bring weapons" match which I understand was just as insane as it sounds.
You can see the final selection of portraits here: www.brianmerwin.com/chi-aaw
Over Labor Day weekend I managed to spend some time making portraits at DragonCon here in Atlanta. Here's a sampling of my favorites so far.
I definitely had a blast, but unfortunately I got shut down by security on Saturday. I'm told I wasn't in a "designated area for photography" so I didn't put up much of a fight. I suspect it was more to do with the security guard asserting his authority. It's was frustrating because I certainly wasn't impeding traffic or harassing anyone (in fact I intentionally picked a spot that was out of the way) and I was getting some great stuff. I suppose I just looked a little too professional, because I clearly wasn't the only one making photos. Since this is what I do for a living, I can't much help that. ha.
It's just as well because after breaking down the mini-studio I managed to go and actually… enjoy the convention.
The good news is that after a few crazy weeks i've got a little bit of down time to catch up on editing personal projects & random pocket-cam adventure shots. The bad news is, its going to take a while to get through it all.
In the mean time, here's evidence of a rainy day coffee outing.

On December 9, President Bush signed the Omnibus Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 2005. The FY 2005 amount for NCI is $4.866 billion, $141 million above the FY2004 obligations. However, one of the provisions within the Act is a 0.8 percent across-the-board reduction. The Labor/HHS portion of the bill is also subject to an $18 million reduction for administrative costs. Hence, the initial increase identified for NCI will be decreased. In addition, there are nondiscretionary obligations of the Institute that include the NIH policy to fund noncompeting Research Project Grants with an average 3 percent committed Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA), a requirement for NCI to contribute to the NIH Roadmap Initiatives, and the mandated federal salary adjustment.
Therefore, to be able to continue our investments in strategic opportunities for the National Cancer Program, NCI leadership wants to discuss with the NCI community leadership the implication of budget allocations, including redeployment of existing resources to fund new opportunities. This will be discussed with the National Cancer Advisory Board, the Board of Scientific Advisors, the Board of Scientific Counselors, and the Advisory Committee to the Director at a retreat on January 11, 2005.

The quality is great for the price. The beveled glass and details are really elegant. If you need a table in a small space, this is a perfect fit.
This table looks like it cost a lot more than it did. I have searched for months for the right size oval-shaped coffee table. This one is perfectly sized with many nice features - such as the glass top actually attached to the table and the bottom shelf. So many stylish coffee tables are big and bulky. At 23 inches wide, this one is sleek and contemporary. It wasn't difficult to assemble. The instructions were clear and I was able to put it together it by myself in about 15 minutes.
Very pretty table to put in a small room in front of a sofa. Don't think you could find a nicer piece for the money. It was easy to assemble and the glass top provides a nice spatial feel. Arrived quickly, packed well, everything needed to assemble it was there. It's quite lovely.
We love this table! Easy to put together and quality and looks are better than expected! We received so many compliments already. I also purchased the round end table. Very satisfied with purchases.
I love it! It's modern and stylish. Arrived on time and took less than 30 minutes to assemble. The instructions were not the best but was able to figure it out. Just a heads up that the five long screws are for the installation of the glass top and the four smaller screws are for each of the table legs. All in all it works for my design and will be ordering the end table.
Really nice table, looks good in front of couch in my apartment. Instructions were pretty straightforward, did most of it on my own until needed help with glass top. Took about 40 minutes. I was a little dubious when it arrived as packaging was not that great, look as though it had been quickly taped up. However, everything was fine inside. really would recommend this.
We recently downsized to a space that is too narrow for the coffee table I already had. We checked all the local furniture stores but were unable to find a coffee table that was a different size. I checked Overstock and finally found this one. It is perfect for our new space! The style is very attractive and the dark color blends beautifully with my other furniture. Even though it is a smaller piece, it looks much more expensive than it actually was. My husband had no trouble putting it together but did advise not to tighten the bolts too much until after the last one was in place. All in all, an excellent purchase!
I recently moved into a small apartment and was looking for a small glass coffee table. I looked in local stores as well as other online sites. This is by far the best table for the money and it far exceeded my expectations. The wood quality is good and it has a modern understated style. Friends cannot believe the price and I can't believe I put this together myself in less than 45 minutes!
I wasn't sure what to expect but i was really surprised how much i love this table. the lines are awesome and its solid wood and glass. it took only a few minutes to put together and i did it alone. the value is awesome. the table is smallish as coffee tables go but it looks great in front of my 7ft sofa
Nice table, we like it. My only complaint is the assembly screws are just a little too short when screwing from the bottom leg and into the table glass. The screws eventually fit into the holes, but only after the required effort is more that what should be exhausted on what should be such a simple task. Other than that, this product is a winner. We had the exact same problem in another model table we purchased. Suggestion: Get some longer assembly screws.

A Cabell County doctor was sentenced Jan. 7 to 24 months for violating federal drug laws.
According to court documents, Anita Dawson, 55, of Milton, was charged with aiding and abetting another in obtaining controlled substances by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery and subterfuge.
According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's office, Dawson
admitted that from July 2006 until May 2009 she prescribed a total of nearly
6,000 pills containing oxycodone and more than 220 pills for the painkiller
She wrote these prescriptions to an individual identified as
E.B. knowing the patient was seeking medication for an addiction, the news
release continues.
The West Virginia
Board of Osteopathy suspended Dawson's
medical license in April 2010, the same day federal and state investigators
executed a search warrant at her Milton
The board alleges Dawson
caused or contributed to nine drug overdose deaths, as well as an April 2009
car crash that killed a Barboursville woman and two teenage girls.
Family members of the three killed in that car crash spoke at
the Jan. 4 hearing. One of Dawson's
patients, who was addicted to prescription drugs, was driving one of the cars
involved in the crash. This patient was under the influence of prescription
medication at the time of the crash, the news release states.
"It's hard to put into words the devastating impact of this
defendant's crimes," said U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said in the release. "My
heart goes out to the families who spoke at today's hearing and to everyone who
lost a loved one because of Dr. Dawson. Judge Chambers was right: This woman's
behavior is shocking, and this case should send a message to other doctors who
abuse their prescription power."
Following the search and suspension of her medical license, Dawson
voluntarily gave up her license permanently, the news release stated.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers ordered Dawson to be housed at the Federal Correction Institute in Alderson.
In addition to her two-year sentence, Dawson also will serve a one-year term of supervised release.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WHAS11) – The body of a missing Lexington, Kentucky chef has been found, according to officials.
The Fayette County Coroner says 32-year-old Alex Johnson's body has been found after authorities searched the Kentucky River.
They discovered a 55-gallon barrel containing human remains underwater near Clay's Ferry on Friday and later identifying them as Johnson's a day later.
The coroner believes the remains may have been in the barrel for as long as a month.
Johnson wasn't heard from since December 20 after a phone call with a girlfriend. She said their phone call ended when Johnson said he had to answer the door.
Police recently arrested Robert Taylor in Texas on Wednesday in connection of Johnson's disappearance but have now charged him with murder.
Another man, Timothy Ballard, was arrested earlier this week on charges of complicity to kidnapping and tampering with evidence.

UNDATED (WHTC) -- It has begun. Gas prices for regular gasoline are going up for the end of the year by more than 30 cents. The low price in the city of Holland this morning was $3.12. As of one this afternoon, stations on the west side of town are already raising their prices to $3.49 per gallon. GasBuddy's senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan says a combination or problems is driving the price spike. Recent refinery mishaps and the fact that the price of a barrel of crude oil has risen to almost $100 will contribute to the higher cost. DeHaan also says prices will probably go back down as they've been bouncing all over the palace since mid-September.

Danny Amendola | WR | New England Patriots
Posted: 8/7/2014 10:18pm et
New England Patriots WRs Danny Amendola (undisclosed) and Julian Edelman (undisclosed) did not play in the team's preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 7.
Huddle Up: Sounds precautionary more than anything, especially with Amendola who typically only has a limited number of games in him anyway.
Posted: 6/9/2014 9:16am et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola looks like the player that impressed the team in practice last year early on in OTAs.
Huddle Up: The key for Amendola is staying healthy; if he's able to remain intact he'll be a valuable fantasy contributor. Of course, we still have OTAs, training camp, and a 16-game NFL slate to go--which is why at present Amendola's fantasy value is discounted.
Posted: 5/8/2014 7:17pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) is taking part in voluntary offseason workouts with the team. He didn't have surgery on his groin this offseason but said he did a lot of rehab work and feels healthy.
Huddle Up: Naturally Amendola feels good now after 3-plus months of rest and rehab, but it's definitely been a different story come fall of late.
Posted: 3/6/2014 1:34pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola cannot be designated as a post-June 1 cut for the 2014 season. The Patriots have to carry the wide receiver on the roster into the '14 league year to make him a June 1 cut and if they do that, his '14 base is guaranteed.
Huddle Up: Amendola caught 51 fewer passes for 423 fewer yards than fellow wideout Julian Edelman, who is a free agent, and it would be far more cost-effective to go with the former rather than the latter in 2014 if it boils down to finances.
Posted: 3/2/2014 5:14pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola may be on the trading block following a dismal first year of his five-year, $25.5 million contract. If a trade can't be completed, the Patriots could simply release Amendola, who costs $4.575 million against the 2014 salary cap but who would leave behind $6.8 million in dead money.
Huddle Up: Amendola, was a fantasy fizzler with his 54-633-2 showing last season, and if couldn't make a impact on a WR-needy team quarterbacked by Tom Brady, it's more than fair to wonder where he could go where the situation would be better.
Posted: 1/26/2014 4:12pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola may be fighting for a roster spot in 2014. $2 million of his $3 million base salary becomes guaranteed if he is on the roster at 4pm on Mar. 11.
Huddle Up: Amendola's continued injury issues (4 missed games and limited in others) and the emergence of Julian Edelman (team-leading and career-high 105 receptions) could spell a 1-and-done stay in N.E. for the former. Either way, look for the Pats to upgrade their WR corps this offseason.
Posted: 1/24/2014 11:21pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) will attempt to heal a groin injury through rest and not surgery.
Huddle Up: Amendola played through the injury, albeit ineffectively; here's hoping the decision to heal on his own works out and he doesn't realize right around the time training camp opens that he's going to need surgery anyway.
Posted: 12/27/2013 10:29pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 27, and is listed as probable for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Strangely, health hasn't been the issue of late for Amendola, who has only 1 TD catch and has averaged 47.2 receiving yards per game over the Pats' last 6 contests.
Posted: 11/21/2013 7:49pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) also is dealing with a right-hand injury. He was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Nov. 21, but the injuries are not expected to keep him out of the team's Week 12 game.
Huddle Up: No surprise: Another health issue for Amendola to deal with. Further examining his stat lines, it's been a 2-game season for the wideout as he caught a combined 14 passes for 226 yards and a TD in Weeks 1 & 9. In the other 4 games he's played in, Amendola has 15 receptions for 115 yards and no scores.
Posted: 10/26/2013 11:22pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion, groin) has been cleared to play in the team's Week 8 game.
Huddle Up: This is good news for both owners of Amendola and Tom Brady. Amendola should be heavily targeted against Miami. Start him with confidence.
Posted: 10/25/2013 1:53pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion) practiced Friday, Oct. 25.
Huddle Up: Amendola has practiced all week, but the Boston Herald cautions that he still hasn't received medical clearance to play Sunday. That decision -- a yea or nay -- could be coming at any time, up to and including a game-time decision.
Posted: 10/23/2013 7:37pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion, groin) was limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Huddle Up: The good news is Amendola has been cleared to practice. If he's able to play against Miami on Sunday, Amendola will be a WR2 for fantasy owners.
Posted: 10/23/2013 11:27am et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Huddle Up: Amendola sat out last week's game, and if he's back at practice you would assume he's cleared the necessary league protocols. Tom Brady will be glad to have him back in the mix.
Posted: 10/21/2013 5:40pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion, groin) said he is doing well but there is no timetable for his return at this point.
Huddle Up: Hopefully Amendola could come back sooner than later, but this doesn't sound promising for Week 8.
Posted: 10/18/2013 2:16pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (concussion) was not seen at practice Friday, Oct. 18, and he's unlikely to play in Week 7 against the New York Jets.
Huddle Up: If Amendola sits out, it'll be his 24th missed game (out of a possible 39) since the start of the 2011 season, so it's really only newsworthy anymore if the wideout actually suits up and plays.
Posted: 10/17/2013 12:04pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola is out of practice Thursday, Oct. 17.
Huddle Up: We'll see if Amendola gets in a practice session this week, and if he passes the league concussion testing in time to play on Sunday. If he can't go, bump Julian Edelman back up your value board.
Posted: 10/7/2013 10:25am et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola was active in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was charted on the field for 38 of the team's 64 offensive snaps (including penalties). He said Sunday, Oct. 6, that he felt good after the game. Amendola finished with four receptions for a team-high 55 yards.
Huddle Up: Amendola was to be on a "limited" snap count, and playing about 60 percent of the Patriots' offensive snap is limited for a guy who when healthy will command the bulk of Tom Brady's attention. The good news is that if Amendola survived playing on wet turf without aggravating the injury he should be ready for a larger play count going forward.
Posted: 10/5/2013 12:38pm et
Updating a previous report, the New England Patriots are highly optimistic WR Danny Amendola (groin) will play in the teams Week 5 game.
Huddle Up: It looks like this could finally be the week Amendola returns but we won't know for sure until closer to gametime. If Amendola is active, he should be in your starting lineup as a WR2 this week.
Posted: 10/4/2013 5:58pm et
The New England Patriots are optimistic that WR Danny Amendola (groin) will be able to return this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Huddle Up: That's the opposite of the current speculation on teammate Rob Gronkowski, but then again it's the Pats so it's anyone's guess right now. If you're looking to start Amendola if he plays, you're likely going to have to wait until the final hour before kickoff Sunday morning.
Posted: 10/2/2013 8:42pm et
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) was able to practice Wednesday, Oct. 2, but he was listed as a limited participant.
Huddle Up: Amendola will be a game-time decision again this week. Fantasy owners will have to wait until Sunday to see if Tom Brady's No. 1 option will return against the Bengals or be sidelined for another week.
Posted: 10/2/2013 1:17pm et
New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski and WR Danny Amendola are practicing Wednesday, Oct. 2.
Huddle Up: Of course, according to the Patriots' injury reports Gronk and Amendola have been practicing "on a limited basis" for the past couple of weeks so it's difficult to determine if one or both will be available for game action this weekend.
Posted: 9/29/2013 2:54pm et
The New England Patriots hope WR Danny Amendola (groin) will be able to play Week 5 but nothing is certain at this point.
Huddle Up: Who knows with the Patriots. This would be a boon to Tom Brady and fantasy owners across the country, though.
Posted: 9/28/2013 4:41pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) didn't make the trip to Atlanta and is out for Week 4.
Huddle Up: There were rumblings that Amendola could play this week but he's still dealing with his groin injury that could linger for most of the season. Expect Julian Edelman to once again be a target monster on Sunday night in what could be a high scoring game.
Posted: 9/27/2013 4:41pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 4.
Huddle Up: Some reports suggest Amendola could play but it's likely he will sit out one more week with his groin injury. The Patriots play on Sunday night so if you roll the dice on Amendola, make sure you have a Plan B in place.
Posted: 9/25/2013 6:48pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) is unlikely to play in the team's Week 4 game. It is more likely he will play in the team's Week 5 game.
Huddle Up: Those who thought Amendola would replace Wes Welker obviously forgot he gets hurt blowing his nose. It's another lost week for Amendola owners and his absence continues to hinder Tom Brady's overall fantasy value. Hopefully for Brady, Rob Gronkowski will make his season debut Sunday night.
Posted: 9/25/2013 5:54pm et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola (groin) said he believes he will be 100 percent in the near future but is not sure when he will be ready to play again.
Huddle Up: Define "near future." That could be 2 weeks or 2 months. It's good to see he is improving, but tough to have him languishing on your bench. Hopefully he comes back sooner than later.
Posted: 9/24/2013 9:58am et
New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola is progressing very well, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Of course, with the Patriots you can get anything from a hangnail to a hip replacement listed as "limited in practice, questionable" so it's tough to determine just what Amendola's timetable might be. But "progressing well" is better than the alternative.

With Milk Prices Crashing And The Operating Environment Normalizing, Dean Foods Is Set To Travel Up
Anthony Thorpe • Tue, Aug. 26 • 11 Comments
- Wall Street does not appreciate the long history of the milk industry and Dean Foods' normalized margins.
- Milk prices will tumble, with Whole Milk Powder already crashing ~40%+, and with multiple short-term and mid-term catalysts on the horizon.
- With only a 5x multiple on next year's EBITDA, the stock is worth ~50% greater than where it stands today.

Today an agreement on the functioning of the main Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC) located at St. Germain-en-Laye, near Paris was signed.
Today, Vice-President of the European Commission Antonio Tajani, responsible for Enterprise and Industry, the French Minister for European Affairs Thierry Repentin and the Executive Director of the European GNSS Agency Carlo Des Dorides, signed an agreement on the functioning of the main Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC) located at St. Germain-en-Laye, near Paris.
The role of the Galileo Security Monitoring Centre is to supervise the security of the system established under the Galileo programme and the satellite navigation services provided worldwide by that system. It also plays an important role in the management of the access to the public regulated service, one of the five services to be provided by Galileo which will be used by authorised secured users (police, customs, defence applications, civil protection, etc.).
Vice-President Tajani said: "The Security Monitoring Centre is a vital
component of the Galileo infrastructure as it will ensure the security of
Europe's navigation system. Today's agreement with France is a further
milestone towards the launch of early services next year."
The GSMC will be operated by the European GNSS Agency which co-signed the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, France will provide the facilities to host the main GSMC and take measures to ensure its functioning and the continuity of its mission. A back-up centre is being put in place in Swanwick, in the United Kingdom.

It's that time of year again. When we at the Press are scrambling to get books ready for the International Conference & Exposition, and somehow all of that content seems to run together into a big blur. So what I am working on that you can expect to see in Orlando?
First off, we've got the revised edition of Consulting on the Inside by Beverly Scott and B. Kim Barnes coming out in the beginning of March. In her endorsement, Elaine Biech says, "Expecting nothing but excellence from these two master consultants, I was not disappointed to see new models and valuable concepts intertwined with many of the practical tools such as sample contracts, agendas, team charters, and others from the first edition. Bev and Kim ensure your success from helping you define your internal consulting role, to overcoming the most common challenges, through ensuring successful implementation. They do this with the practical ease of consultants who really know their business. Consulting on the Inside sits obligingly on my bookshelf within easy reach at all times." In other words, this book is packed with tools and information; moreover, the authors have provided a wealth of web appendixes, which will be made available in a few weeks. I will be sure to post a blog when the webpage is up and running.
Next is another revision. This time of ASTD Press's most popular book of all time: Telling Ain't Training. Authors Harold Stolovitch and Erica Keeps have revised and expanded this treasure while maintaining the relaxed voice and research-based content of the original. You can expect to see that one sometime in early May.
Rita Smith, vice president of enterprise learning for Ingersoll Rand, has written Strategic Learning Alignment, which provides a model that provides clear explanations of how executives in organizations speak and what they want, which will help leaders of learning organizations to communicate their value, get recognition, and make a difference. The book will be out in early May.
Last, but not least, I am working on a contributed volume called The Executive Guide to Integrated Talent Management. Edited by Pat Galagan and Kevin Oakes, the book features 17 chapters written by "gurus" and practitioners that will take you inside the concept and practice of integrated talent management. Topics covered include an overview of integrated talent management; recruiting; compensation and rewards; performance management; succession management; engagement and retention; leadership development; as well as section on pulling it all together. This book will also be available in May.
Of course, I am not the only person working on books at the Press. Ashley McDonald, who came on board only a few months ago, is working on a revision of ISD From the Ground Up by Chuck Hodell and 10 Steps to Successful Change Management by George Vukotich, both of which will be available at ASTD's International Conference and Exposition in May. And you show up to the conference, don't forget to stop by the store and say hi! I'll be there!
