Peru, New York - August 23, 2011
They eat a quarter of it and leave it. They'll destroy a pretty significant section each night," Brian Thew said.
Thew shows off what is left of a corn stalk at Rulf's Orchard in Peru, N.Y. Wild hogs have been having their nightly feast here since May.
"It's very devastating," said Linda Facteau of Rulf's Orchard.
It's estimated the wild hogs have consumed nearly seven acres of crops. That equals a $25,000 financial loss for the farm.
"We may even run out of corn, it's come to the point where we have two big harvests coming up, normally corn is heavy, heavy before Labor Day, it's that last big barbeque," Facteau said.
According to wildlife officials, this is the first time wild hogs have been known to breed in the wild in this part of the state. It is believed the pigs escaped from captivity two years ago.
"They can multiply very quickly; they can triple their population in one year," said Ed Reed of the N.Y. Department of Environmental Conservation. "There's no reason they can't survive here."
And biologists are very concerned. Wild hogs destroy ecosystems, crops, backyards and have been known to attack humans. The animals weigh several hundred pounds. It is believed as many as two dozen are living in the Peru area.
"If we don't get rid of all of them, or most of them, I think the problem will expand," Reed said.
"I think eradicating them at this point is going to be nearly impossible," Thew said.
Thew and his hunting crew have been working with DEC since May to try to eliminate the wild hogs at Rulf's Orchards. They've spent nearly every night in the fields trying to hunt and trap the animals with thermal imaging cameras. They've seen as many as a dozen some nights, but so far they've only been able to kill two of the wild hogs.
"Their senses are more keen than any other animal; we've learned it the hard way. Their sense of smell is phenomenal. These animals are really smart. They learn really fast. So when we move into an area, they pattern us, just as quick as we pattern them. You have to be ahead of them," Thew said.
A farm and a region hoping these animals are captured and killed before the population goes hog wild.
Wild hogs are common in other parts of New York - especially alone the Pennsylvania border.

A reminder to Republicans everywhere that you can cut spending, turn down federal money for transportation projects whose costs are spiraling out of control, and take on public-sector unions — and still remain widely popular, even in a historically blue state:
New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie gets decent grades from voters as he nears the end of his first year in office, with a 51 – 38 percent approval rating, higher than President Barack Obama or any other statewide leader, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Assigning letter grades to the governor's performance, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds:
* 17 percent of New Jersey voters give Christie an A;
* 31 percent give him a B;
* 20 percent give him a C;
* 16 percent give him a D;
* 15 percent give him an F.
Christie is more of a leader than a bully, voters say 50 – 42 percent. But 48 percent say he is "confrontational," while 43 percent say he is "honest and refreshing."
His first year in office has been mainly a success, 52 percent of voters say, while 35 percent say it's been mainly a failure. Christie is doing a better job than expected, 32 percent say, as 23 percent say he is doing a worse job and 42 percent say he is doing about as well as they expected.
"We like our in-your-face governor, Christopher Christie, and think he's a real Jersey guy – sometimes a bully, often confrontational, but getting a fair number of A's and a lot of B's in his first year," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
The numbers are particularly interesting given that President Obama and New Jersey's two Democratic U.S. senators are all underwater on their approval ratings in the state.
Does all this mean New Jersey voters consider him a strong candidate to be on the GOP ticket in 2012? Not so fast:
New Jersey voters say 61 – 24 percent that Christie would not make a good president. Even Republicans say only 45 – 36 percent that their governor is ready for the White House. Christie will not run for president in 2012, voters say 60 – 21 percent, and speculation that he will is just political gossip, 67 percent of voters say.
It's worth pointing out, however, that Quinnipiac asked about Christie's fitness to be president today or in 2012 — not whether he'd eventually make a good president, and not whether another governor who takes a similar approach to budgeting would make a good president.

I suspect that Illinoisans in 2006 would not have magnified Chauncey as a potential president. Of course, they would have been right on the merits if wrong on the potentiality of an accident of history. I think Gov. Christie has much to commend him for a possible candidacy. I can conceive worse tickets than Christie – Rubio.

BTW: Christie is under investigation because of supposed improprieties that happened when he was US Attorney in New Jersey….from the AP:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is raising his national political profile as a government cost-cutter, engaged in a pattern of abuse when he was U.S. attorney by billing taxpayers to stay at luxury hotels, the Justice Department's inspector general said in a report Monday.

My two dogs are smarter than the average American voter! They learn after making the same mistake only two or three times; American voters keep electing the same ilk of politicians hoping that alternating between Democrat incompetents and Republican incompetents will produce the wisdom and leadership we need. This is the sort of nonsense that gives democracy a bad name!
Now, voters favor politicians who proudly veto essential transportation projects that create good jobs in the present recession and foster economic expansion in the future. America was once the "land of hope"; we've become the "land of nope"!

His abrupt cancellation of the NJ/NYC tunnel is the one thing that will come back to bite him, and my guess is those poll numbers where before that came out. He complains of NJ having to pay more, but NJ will benefit way more than any of the other players in this project. He has in this one decision wasted years of planning and billions already spent with construction already under way. He will also add 6,000 to the ranks of the unemployed with this decision. I really thought he was grandstanding for more funding…I didn't think he would really pull the plug. It was a really stupid decision. That said, I would take him over crooked Deal any day, as he assembles his cronies as we speak

Well kudos to Gov. Christie for cutting spending and turning down federal transportation money. However, he still has to address the traffic capacity problem that the new tunnel was intended to address. My guess is that the problem will still be there when he leaves office (but even more expensive to fix at that point).
November 9th, 2010

"Wildly popular"? I don't know much about Christie, but those numbers look pretty 50/50 to me.
And what exactly is the point of reporting on public approval polls?
November 9th, 2010
2:20 pm
The tunnel was projected to cost $8.7 B. The fed. govt. & the Port Authority of NY & NJ had pledged $3 B each. NJ was to spend $2.7 B plus any overruns. Christie's advisory committee projected that the project would cost $10.6 to $13.5 B, leaving the taxpayers of NJ holding the bag for any surprises for up to $3.8 B. Why should New Jersey taxpayers, rather than the fed. govt. &/or the port authority, be solely on the hook for overruns?

The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976. As Timothy Noah of Slate noted in an excellent series on inequality, the United States now arguably has a more unequal distribution of wealth than traditional banana republics like Nicaragua, Venezuela and Guyana.
C.E.O.'s of the largest American companies earned an average of 42 times as much as the average worker in 1980, but 531 times as much in 2001. Perhaps the most astounding statistic is this: From 1980 to 2005, more than four-fifths of the total increase in American incomes went to the richest 1 percent.

@ Marilyn
If this was a "banana republic", as you so eloquently put it, why do we have paved roads and indoor plumbing? 1% may take home all the wealth, but I'll be first to say that most of them deserve it. Either they work hard for it, they have the brains to make it, or both. Don't be mad because life gave you a shallow gene pool.

Great article, Kyle. I find it funny that some people think he's too "confrontational." Sometimes its necessary, especially when dealing with unions. God knows they are confrontational. I used to live in NY and the unions there would put giant inflatable rats in front of skyscrapers if those buildings hired non-union doormen or maintenance workers. We need more people like Christie who is willing to stand up to union thugs.

Steve Benen ( http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2010_11/026556.php )
"New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), a media darling and favorite of many Republican activists, has a penchant for complaining about wasteful government spending and public employees who abuse the system and fail to respect the taxpayers footing the bills.
In retrospect, Christie probably should have picked a different issue to focus on…
There were, to be sure, other officials who abused the system, but Christie appears to have been the worst. In Boston, for example, he stayed at a $449-per-night. In D.C., he stayed at and the $475-per-night Four Seasons. For both cities, the rate is more than double the government standard, but Christie nevertheless had taxpayers pick up the tab.
It wasn't just lodging. In Boston, Christie could have taken a cab for the four miles between his luxurious hotel and the airport, but he instead took a $236 car service. In London, Christie's drive to the airport cost $562. He had us pay for all of this, too.
It also doesn't help that Christie, accused of this pattern of wasteful spending, 'declined to speak with the inspector general's investigators.'
I guess this is what passes for 'fiscal conservatism' in Republican politics nowadays?"
November 9th, 2010
4:15 pm
CJ @ 4:08, Your assertion has already been reported & squashed on this blog today. The complaint is over $2176, which, according to your favorite word, is nonsense.
November 9th, 2010

From World Net Daily:
It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.
I wonder what the tab was today for her "Party for Accomplishments"…hell, I gues we should celebrate 680 Dems losing seats!

" why do we have paved roads and indoor plumbing?"
Because Eisenhower and FDR used government dollars to fund infrastructure development…projects that the Republicans of today would call "handouts" and waste.
November 9th, 2010
4:44 pm
Kyle, given what I have read it seems that "cutting" very often includes just pitching the expenses back to the local jurisdiction…in many cases more like welching than cutting.
For example:
$475 million cut in aid for school districts.
Skips $100 million state employee pension contributions.
$62 million cut to county colleges and four-year public colleges/universities.
$12.6 million cut from the charity care fund compensating hospitals to treat uninsured patients; all hospitals will lose about 4 percent of their subsidy.
November 9th, 2010
4:53 pm
"NJ voters decided it didn't matter…"
I'm sorry Kyle, but a 51 percent approval rating does not mean that "NJ voters decided it didn't matter." Hell, it doesn't even mean that 51 percent of NJ voters decided it didn't matter.
And $2,000 of overspending (if that's accurate) for many, if not most, employers–especially for five-star hotels and limos–would get you fired. The hypocrisy is off the charts, but as far as I can see, nothing a Republican does is outrageous to conservative voters.
November 9th, 2010
4:53 pm
JDW @ 4:19, If FDR's policies worked, why did his Tres. Sec., one of his architects of his New Deal, testify before a House committee that "…after eight years of this adm., we have just as much unemployment as when we started…& an enormous debt to boot" & why did the New Deal not take us out of the Great Depression & why was the constitution amended after FDR to prevent any president ever again to serve as long as he did?
Some of the unemployed in the US, such as teachers, software managers, sales reps, seamstresses, & vet techs, don't happen to want to or seem qualified to build infrastructure. Wouldn't it be better to just let the economy work & stop trying to micromanage it to suit the left?
November 9th, 2010

Lol. The wild west…oh, sorry, I mean the wet dream for red states, looks more and more hilarious every day. I would say it would be ironic when the finances implode and they rely on evil liberal states to fund their pipe dreams, but that is already the case. The median GOP stronghold is a net federal recipient and the median Dem stronghold a net federal donor.

@Linda…and now with the benefit of history we see that he navigated America out of depression and through the Second World War and remains in the eyes of many the greatest president ever…unlike recent Republicans who rate near the bottom of the barrel…and o since you live in Atlanta you should thank him every time you flush…Lake Lanier and Corp you know.
November 9th, 2010

Do some people actually believe the richest Americans got rich by creativity, hard work, brainpower? Well, a few actually earned it: you can count them on the fingers of one hand (Bill Gates, etc.)
There are three ways to get rich in America: 1. inherit wealth from the parents or grandparents who stole it; 2. become a CEO, appoint a bunch of patsies to your Board, and strip the assets of your company; 3. win the lottery. Way 1 is by far the most common.
The difference between the wealth a person accumulates in America and what he would accumulate in Somalia or Afghanistan is the amount he owes to the society, not to his creativity, initiative, and intellect. Our society allows wealth to be inherited without taxing the benficiaries on their unearned wealth. Equal opportunity be damned!
November 9th, 2010
5:59 pm
JDW @ 5:22, Could you not refute any of the 3 points I made? How many yrs. did FDR spend us into oblivion & how did the unemployment rate improve before the war started? FDR prolonged the Great Depression. Only the war got us out of it. The progressives, slowly, but surely, have changed & distorted the history books & that's why we need to close the Dept. of Edu.
I had more sense than to remain a resident of the city of Atlanta. I am an Atlanta area resident.
I paid for all my indoor plumbing.

Kyle, "…NJ voters elected him anyway."
Florida voters elected Republican Rick Scott anyway. Georgia voters elected Republican Nathan Deal anyway. Louisiana voters elected Republican David Vitter anyway.
The fact that many voters elect such crooks and liars doesn't undermine my assertion that these guys (and many of the people who vote for them) are hypocrites. Many of them are the same knuckleheads who parroted "rule of law…rule of law" in their sleep during the Clinton years–a phrase quickly abandoned by pundits and the press when Republicans took control.
By the way, if $2,000 isn't enough, how much can a Republican politician bilk taxpayers for his own personal comfort before it becomes unacceptable to TeaGOP voters?

Kaepernick scrambled for one of the first downs and threw for two others, the last a 7-yard catch by Mario Manningham to the 1 one play before the touchdown.
Zuerlein had the distance on his 58-yard attempt with 25 seconds to go in the first half, but was well wide to the right. In the first meeting at San Francisco, Zuerlein was wide right on a 58-yarder in overtime after making a 53-yarder that was nullified by a delay of game call.

NOTES: 49ers wide receiver Mario Manningham (shoulder) did not return after getting hurt in the fourth quarter. Harbaugh said the team "won't know right away" about the severity of the injury. ... Aldon Smith's sack late in the first half gave him an NFL-best 31½ his first two seasons, a half-sack better than Reggie White in 1985-96. ... The Rams sacked Kaepernick twice at the end of the half, including Bill Hayes' second of the game.

Loved our two day stay, away from the center of the city, and yet close enough to easily get to downtown. Inspite of a busy road, the rooms were well insulated and we were not kept awake by roadnoise.
The street was a bit busier than we had anticipated,
Tasting menu. Watching the expertise preparing the dishes. Excellent and well decorated smoked salmon for breakfast.
Nothing to dislike
Great facilities and dining, quaint location in the middle of a very fun neighbourhood. Will definitely be back, great for a couple's getaway.
Excellent staff. Friendly and very helpful
Wonderful; best night sleep of the entire trip. Great location, short walk to bars and restaurants, great breakfast.
We were greeted immediately and shown to our room which was lovely. Hearing that we were celebrating our anniversary a bottle of wine and chocolates was brought to our room. The bed and room were excellent. It was quite so we had a wonderful nights sleep. Hot coffee outside our door in the morning was greatly appreciated. The room was lovely and breakfast the next morning was delicious. Every person there made us feel special. It was a welcome treat for two weary travelers as we had flight delays getting to Calgary.
Cannot list anything, we loved it there!
-Nice staff and modern rooms -very good and fresh made breakfast -several good restaurants in the vicinity -complementary bicycles
-busy street in front of the hotel, have to keep windows closed all the time -restaurant is closed on Sundays, unfortunately when we were there
Great boutique hotel, lovely design, excellent staff and a great location in the Kensington area close to downtown. We stayed there for our wedding and were treated like king & queen, including complimentary champagne and chocolate!
The friendly people
Not much worth bothering about
The friendliest around... my truck couldn't fit in under ground parking.... boom free parking for u sir.... need ice... bam knock on the door... it made my romantic gateway come true...
When we did park in the basement we were greeted and escorted to the front desk which was nice. The 1st am juice and coffee was left outside the room which was as specified. The wine was complimentary as a result of the issues we were having. The location is very good. Close to some interesting shops and safeway. Good thing because we could walk to safeway to get ice since there was no ice machine. Room is nice as well as clean.
The room was as expected except there was only one pair of slippers. And the room was very cold. The thermostat was set at 30 but the thermometer showed 17. Tried "Guest Services" button on phone. Always rang busy. Was later told it has never worked. Press "0" (which is not shown on the phone instructions) and it rang busy. What would happen if someone had an emergency? I went to the front desk to discuss this. I was told the slippers were in short supply at the moment but that it would be taken care of. The temperature would also be dealt with. Told to use the gas fireplace. We went out and returned after supper. No slippers and no change in temperature. Ended up standing on a chair and shutting each small louver to minimize the effect and turned on the fire place. Hoped there would be a small bar fridge but there was none. And there was no ice machine At night there were 2 little chocolates which was nice but to be honest it was not very good. If you really want to set yourself apart why not work in partnership with Callebaut which was very close. Not saying to get the "best" chocolate there is but it is those little things that count when you want to elevate your standing. Went out early in the morning and came back around 4pm. Room had not been serviced. Asked about it and was told there is only one person doing the work but that we could have our room done next or the person at the front desk would do it later since the staff member left at 5pm. Waited in the lobby while the work was being and offered something to drink (coffee, tea, etc) That evening decided to have a glass of wine. Called front desk and was told to look for a small card with the wine listed. No such card. Also said that we needed more tissue. The wine came but no tissue. Asked again and it was delivered. Went to take a shower and discovered there was no bath mat. I decided to start writing things down. Hmmm, pad of paper and no pen anywhere.
Very nice room Comfy Bed Great Service Breakfast Paper and a coffee in the morning
You have to request ice - no ice machine available to the public.
An exceptional staff, great breakfast and superb location just across the street from beautiful riverside parks and just minutes from the C-Train station that takes you to downtown Calgary. Plus there's a Starbucks and other great eating places just around the corner. The staff did everything they could to make it an enjoyable stay. We'll be back for sure!
Staff was very friendly and tried to make our stay comfortable.
Very noisy rooms at the front of the hotel Couldn't control air conditioning which was on full blast all day and night Had to check out early as we couldn't sleep with the air conditioning
*free parking in secure underground lot *staff member came down as I was getting out of the car to greet me and help with my bags *during a downpour, they provided sturdy umbrellas, allowing us to make it to our dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant without getting soaked *room is both beautiful and comfortable *enjoyed turndown service with handpoured chocolates and a REAL fireplace (gas) *bed was a bit soft for my liking but the plump pillows had just the right amount of loft *coffee or tea + newspaer delivered unobtrusively outside our door *delicious breakfast made to order in the dining room. The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for, with crispy edges and fluffy fragrant interior. *we didn't manage to use them, but attractive cruiser bicycles are available for guest use. *location is a cinch to get to with plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes mere steps away. Take a stroll along the riverside, in the tree-lined residential neighbourhoods, or over the bridge to get downtown,
Liked being able to walk to restaurants, shops and movie theater. Front desk people were helpful, but could be more knowledgeable. Server (short dark hair, glasses) at breakfast worked very hard as she was on her own. She was extremely polite, friendly and helpful with recommendations for places to go!
Dropped luggage at desk upon arrival as room wasn't ready (got there prior to check in time). Was told bags would be in room when we returned later in the day; they remained at the desk in full view for many hours and were never brought to our room. There wasn't always someone at the desk. One front desk employee told us there were bikes for rent. Another said they were complimentary.
the site and general atmosphere
We were very pleased with this hotel, welcoming, friendly staff, outstanding restaurant top class facilities and within walking distance of downtown 18th avenue where the shopping and busy area seems to be. We would definitely book here again.
Nothing to dislike
Position and staff.
We found a surprising number of things that were not quite right - what I think of as 5 flaws in the customer experience we had. They were in different areas - one issue at the front desk, two regarding our room, and two in the dining room - which indicates to me that the issue is the management. None were major, but included things like not being able to get a glass of wine at midnight, a loose fitting in the bathroom sink, and needing to ask twice for silverwear. This was a bit of a surprise for me at a hotel like this.
Amenities were nice, rooms were very clean, great location next to the river for an easy run or bike ride. Staff were friendly, although didn't know much about the local restaurants. Avoid the Italian restaurant that is one block from the hotel-food was over-priced and very average with stuffy waiters who get upset when you don't take their unsolicited recommendation.
The wi-fi was incredibly slow and kept dropping. For business travelers using or on a WebEx meeting this could be and was very problematic. I had two meetings I had to reschedule because the wi-fi speed and connection was so poor.
We were surprised by this hotel as we usually stay right downtown and had no idea what to expect. The bed was very comfortable and the decor is just our style.
Parking should be free if you're a registered guest.

Fresno, CA (Sports Network) - Behind Trevor Gaskins' 16 points, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs held off a late comeback attempt by the Fresno State Bulldogs to win 75-70 in Western Athletic Conference action at the Save Mart Center.
Raheem Appleby scored 15 points for Louisiana Tech (16-14, 6-7 WAC), which has won five in a row. Brandon Gibson tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds and Romario Souza also put up 12 points.
For Fresno State (13-18, 3-10), which has lost back-to-back games, Jonathan Wells recorded 16 points and eight rebounds, Garrett Johnson added 12 points, and Tyler Johnson chipped in with 10 points.
Louisiana Tech got out to a comfortable 39-23 lead at halftime behind a red- hot 62.5 percent field goal shooting. Fresno State made just 7-of-27 (25.9 percent) of its field goals in the opening stanza.
Fresno State improved its shooting to 53.1 percent from the field after the break, and it cut the deficit to as little as four at one point, but Louisiana Tech held on for the win.
Both teams took good care of the basketball, with each squad turning it over just 12 times.

"It's time to get out of this town. It's haunting, this presence." If the verse lyrics from post-hardcore band Vanna's "Safe To Say" ever referred to their hometown of Boston, Mass., we'd never guess it now. After kicking off 2012 with tours through Europe and the U.S. from February to April, then almost immediately turning around and jumping on the Warped Tour, Vanna front man Davey Muise and guitarist Joel Pastuszak told us about how great it was to be home at the Warped Tour stop in Mansfield, Mass. Apart from touring, in the last six months Vanna have picked up new members Pastuszak and Erik Gross, and have begun working on a fourth LP after releasing their third full-length album, And They Came Baring Bones in 2011. Muise and Pastuszak talked to us about friends, family, and tour craziness over the last few months.
OS: You guys are playing back in your hometown, that's got to be great. What's it like to be back?
DM: It's awesome to be back, all of our families are here and you know, we're just looking forward to our New England date to prove to the rest of the tour that we are a 'worth it' band [laughs].
OS: You haven't played with Four Year Strong in a long time, how does it feel to be touring with some hometown friends again?
DM: It's cool, it's cool 'cause like Four Year [Strong], Transit, A Loss For Words, Man Overboard, Make Do, and Mend (even though they're kind of from Jersey), it's a lot of New England bands on this tour and it just feels really really good to tour with bands from New England; slash I apologize to everyone who's not from New England on this tour because we can get pretty rowdy and obnoxious. It's cool; it's definitely cool to have everybody out. Four Year's killing it, A Loss For Words is killing it, all the New England bands are doing so well, I'm just proud of my friends.
JP: We pretty much just took over the whole tour.

In my previous post on Succession Planning Best Practices, I touched on the first four steps for succession planning. Now it's time to move on after you're done "setting the table."
Remember, the essence of the first 4 steps included "setting the table" for good succession planning by establishing your organization's overall goals; getting a valuation report for an independent assessment of your financial situation; and assembling a team of external advisors to help you with the process.
In these next steps (beginning with Step 5) we'll focus on what needs to be covered during the succession planning.
Step 5 – Pursue the succession selection. After establishing the vision and goals for your organization, you now have a well-defined position to fill. Are you looking for a period of fast growth? Hoping to expand overseas? Whatever the goals, your leadership needs to be uniquely qualified to meet them.
This may not, unfortunately, fit the role of someone in your family. This is where you really need to hear the voice of your external advisors. Blood runs deep, but being swayed by family ties won't do your business – or your family – any favors. Put the wrong person in the wrong place, and your business and family will only undergo a slow, mutually shared demise.
Step 6 – Establish successor training. Whether you decide to go internally with a candidate or hire externally, your new leadership will need to be trained on your business. Even if it's someone who has worked within the ranks his or her entire career, filling those CEO shoes is a whole new ball game.
In this portion of training, you should establish a solid coaching relationship plan. Be specific about goals and benchmarks for your new leader, and make sure you've got the resources in place to really let your top choice excel.
Step 7 – Create a contingency plan. Remember Murphy's Law, because you never know how things will really work out until you see the plan in action. In the event things go badly, you should have a Plan B alternative waiting in the wings.
Step 8 – Implement, execute and measure. Nothing sinks your ship like implementing a plan but failing to tack on metrics to measure success. Be sure that you're very upfront and clear about the goals that need to be reached and how you're going to get there to make it happen. You also need to implement and execute the plan so your new CEO has a fighting chance to succeed.
Now you've got the broad strokes for the succession planning process. Use this as your framework, and let your team of external advisors fill in the detail-work; that's where they excel. Together, you can create a succession plan that helps you fulfill the goals of your business well into the future.

Get Fit with Baby: Yoga for New Moms and Infants
You may be surprised to learn that you don't need a sitter to find time for fitness!
Practicing yoga with your baby is highly beneficial to both of you. Holding your child during certain postures will help you strengthen your body and improve your flexibility and balance. In addition to relieving stress and postpartum depression, many mothers find that practicing yoga with their infants helps soothe colic, improves sleep patterns, and aids in infant digestion.
Poses for Two
Setting your baby at the top of your yoga mat and engaging her in eye contact or touching her whenever you are close to the floor is a simple way to engage your little one during a workout. For more of a mother-child routine, Laura Staton and Sarah Perron, co-authors and co-founders of Baby Om, suggest the following postures for you to try together.
- Half Wheel Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor, your knees in line with your feet. Sit your baby on your abdomen and support her under her armpits with your hands (her seat should be at your belly button). Keeping your feet firmly planted, press your shoulders into the floor and lift up your hip bones. Hold, then slowly roll back down until your spine is on the floor. Repeat. Be sure to keep your abdominal muscles active and tight throughout the pose. Half Wheel Pose is especially good for relieving backaches and strengthening the abdominals.
- Flying Child Pose: Begin by lying on your back with your feet on the floor and your knees bent. Rest your baby on your shins (facing you) with your hands around her ribs, fingers spread. Slowly bring your knees in towards your face until you can kiss her on the forehead, then extend your legs back away from your body; try to keep your legs parallel to the floor throughout this exercise. You can add gentle bounces and swings to this pose as you and your baby become more confident. Another variation is to extend your feet up towards the ceiling and guide your baby in a controlled "slide" down to your abdomen. This exercise is great for soothing a fussy baby, strengthening your abdominal muscles, and relaxing a tense or sore back.
- Baby Press: Lie on your back with your feet on the floor and your knees bent. Rest your baby on your chest so that you both are belly-to-belly. Firmly, but gently, grip her torso with your hands and lift her off your chest until your arms are extended. (For an enjoyable variation, add figure eights to this exercise.) Bring her back down to your chest and repeat. This exercise strengthens your arms and shoulders.
- Navel Sweeps: Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Place your baby belly-to-belly on your chest or sit her on your abdomen (as in Half Wheel Pose). Extend one leg outward, just off the floor and hold a moment; then raise it slowly toward the ceiling. Bring the leg slowly back down until it reaches the floor, and then draw the leg in until your knee touches your chest. Repeat three to five times. This is another good exercise for strengthening the abdominals and getting rid of the dreaded jelly belly.

Fiber: Today's 'It' Ingredient
Health Benefits of Fiber
Fiber may be best known for relieving or preventing constipation, but it also has been linked to weight loss, as well as reducing the risk of diverticulitis and diabetes.
The heart-health tag is also giving fiber a big boost, especially now that the FDA has approved health claims on package labels for foods that contain certain soluble fibers, such as rolled oats and whole-grain barley, related to reducing the risk of heart disease when eaten as part of a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
Some studies have linked fiber consumption to reducing the risk of cancer, but the evidence is mixed.
Can You Eat Too Much Fiber?
Too much fiber can cause problems such as bloating and gas, especially in those not accustomed to a high-fiber diet. Some food packages come with warnings that eating too much fiber too soon may cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
Here's how Slavin and Camire suggest you work fiber into your diet.
- Add more fiber gradually. Let your body adjust to increased levels for a week or two before increasing again.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Don't load up in one sitting. Try to spread you fiber consumption throughout the day.
- Look for products with at least 8 grams of fiber per serving. That's about one-third of the recommended daily intake for women and children. This way you'll get the most benefit for the least amount of calories.
- Be consistent about when you eat fiber-filled foods. "Getting a good slug of fiber every morning is going to help your body adjust and become more regular," Camire says. "If you have a croissant one day and a big slug of All-Bran the next, your body won't know what to do."
- Following the food guidelines in MyPyramid will help you reach recommended daily intake levels by eating enough whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

It's mid-afternoon, and temperatures are starting to drop in the Jackson area. Temps were in the mid 50s around lunch time, but have dropped about five degrees. By sunset the temperatures will be in the mid 40s heading for an overnight low in the upper 20s.
The first Arctic blast of the season has arrived. The front moved across the state Tuesday morning, clearing South Mississippi by Tuesday afternoon. Clouds increased just behind the front along the leading edge of the shallow, cold, arctic air-mass that will spread south throughout the day.
The wind kicked in between 15 and 30 mph this morning, blowing the cold air all the way to the Gulf Coast. Our high for today occurred before noon, in the low-middle 50s.
Despite a full supply of sunshine, we'll struggle to crack 50 degrees all day Wednesday, along with a cold north breeze.We'll be in the deep freeze Wednesday and Thursday mornings; upper 20s Wednesday morning, but even colder Thursday with lows into the middle 20s!
A note to those with plants and agricultural interests, the wind should remain strong enough tonight/Wednesday A.M. to prevent significant frost; but clear, and nearly calm conditions will allow widespread frost to form early Thursday. Copyright 2013 MSNewsNow. All rights reserved.

Washington state budget proposal would cut healthcare coverage for children throughout the state, including approximately $50 million for Seattle Children's.
As Washington state works to develop its new biennial 2011-13 budget, it's no surprise that difficult financial times are resulting in deep funding cuts to education, social services and healthcare.
Specific to healthcare, the budget proposal is slated to cut healthcare coverage for children throughout our state. Seattle Children's alone could see funding cuts of approximately $50 million over the next two years.
For example, the new budget proposed by the state House and state Senate would cut millions of dollars by limiting access to our emergency department for kids covered by the Apple Health for Kids program. The budget would limit each child to three emergency department visits annually for services the state defines as "non emergencies." Other visits would be left unpaid by the state. Some of the services defined by the state as "non emergencies" are in fact potentially life-threatening emergencies like hernias, diabetic comas, and convulsions from high fevers.
In addition, the proposal introduced by the state Senate would impose additional out of pocket costs on low-income children covered by Apple Health for Kids, which would likely contribute to an increase in the number of uninsured children in Washington state. The House and Senate proposals will also increase the amount of uncompensated care Children's provides, currently greater than $100 million per year.
A recap of the government's hospital related cuts can be found in a statement issued by the Washington State Hospital Association on the budget proposal: http://wsha.org/fiscalWatchDetails.cfm?EID=2011%2D04%2D05%2000%3A00%3A00%2E0&CT=&#article6322
The long-term impact of these cuts in children's healthcare would be considerable. Children's will do everything it can to prevent as many cuts as possible to protect children.
If you're also interested in helping protect government funding for Washington state healthcare, please share your concerns by contacting your legislator. You can find your representatives (2 representatives, one senator) and their email addresses here: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder.
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation. For more information, visit www.seattlechildrens.org or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.

still not cool though
The familiar trigonometric functions can be geometrically derived from a circle.
But what if, instead of the circle, we used a regular polygon?
In this animation, we see what the "polygonal sine" looks like for the square and the hexagon. The polygon is such that the inscribed circle has radius 1.
We'll keep using the angle from the x-axis as the function's input, instead of the distance along the shape's boundary. (These are only the same value in the case of a unit circle!) This is why the square does not trace a straight diagonal line, as you might expect, but a segment of the tangent function. In other words, the speed of the dot around the polygon is not constant anymore, but the angle the dot makes changes at a constant rate.
Since these polygons are not perfectly symmetrical like the circle, the function will depend on the orientation of the polygon.
More on this subject and derivations of the functions can be found in this other post
Now you can also listen to what these waves sound like.
This technique is general for any polar curve. Here's a heart's sine function, for instance

With so much emphasis today on eating right and taking care of our hearts, we hear a lot about the field of cardiology. Millions of patients today end up in the hospital face-to-face with a cardiologist after a heart scare.
What about the field of interventional cardiology? That's a specialized focus beyond cardiology that required more training. And now, for the first time, the Texas Tech School of Medicine is offering that training at the UMC Heart Center. Here to explain is the director of that program, Dr. Alex Suarez, an interventional cardiologist.

Felger and Massarotti began to look at the Super Bowl and talk about what the biggest story is going into next week.
Both Felger and Massarotti agree that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is the biggest story. Could playing in Super Bowl cause further injury to the ankle of Gronkowski? Is it worth the risk?
The guys went on the talk about wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. Could Ochocinco play a major role in the Super Bowl?
Chris Gasper of the Boston Globe joined the guys to continue the conversation about the Pats and went through the numbers that quarterbacks put up against the Ravens. Did Brady play better against the Ravens than people are giving him credit for?

As a consequence, on 2nd February 1991, No.2 Industrial Training Centre, which was under Ministry of Industry (1), was transferred to Ministry of Education (MOE). Hereafter Mandalay Institute of Technology (MIT) was founded. MIT was officially inaugurated on 1st October, 1991. Mandalay Institute of Technology initially pursued undergraduate courses in the fields of science and engineering which comprised six engineering departments; Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Architecture.

Jackrabbit fans rejoice, the Final Beam Ceremony took place and the new Jackrabbit Stadium is taking shape. I for one, can't wait to hear the Pride of the Dakotas play here. I'm also looking forward to the sea of blue and yellow fans, the cheers of the students in the fan section, the one-of-a-kind tailgating atmosphere and of course the best college football in the state! (Okay, I'm biased!)
As always, it's a great day to be a Jackrabbit! Go Big! Go Blue! Go Jacks!

It isn't Christmas at our house without this cranberry pudding. We make it in the crock pot using the cake pan. Very easy and always a hit. My daughters now make it for their in-laws. When we are in Africa, cranberries aren't available so we us plums.
I tasted this dessert and it was delicious. Now, I did follow this recipe and it turned out weird. It`s like there was not enough liquid in it and not enough baking soda. It turned out like a ball of playdough, tough and rubbery.

I ship this frozen to all my relatives - they insist on it. It can thaw and be refrozen with no adverse affects. It is fat free before sauced! I steam and ship the pudding in fancy christmas tins! Perfect for gift giving
This recipe is an old family favorite for generations. You can make it in a cake pan and then cut into small squares. If you split the square in the middle 2 pieces it absorbs more sauce and turns into something quite spectacular!
This is the exact recipe my mother-in-law gave me 36 years ago. She had prepared it for her family every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have made this recipe over seventy times myself! I cut the berries in half if they are large and I steam the pudding in a decorative German steamer (the ones that look like little bundt pans with lids). I also make the sauce in a double boiler. Pudding and sauce reheat well (separately) on lower power (70%) in the microwave oven.
I followed a reviewers advice and put the pudding in a 9x13 pan, increasing the ingredients 1 1/2 times so it would fit the pan better. I covered it with foil and baked it in another (little bigger) pan of water at 325. I think it turned out the way it was supposed to, the berries popped and it was not sour. My problem was with the sauce, it was gritty from the sugar. I am going to try it again since the flavor was good.
This is the best! My family looks forward to it every Christmas.
This is a delicious pudding cake. My recipe calls for an additional 1/2 cup light karo syrup and no salt at all. But other than that it is the same recipe. Don't hesitate to try it. It's really quite delicious!

Chapter 123 Reviews
Frank's birthday
[*Yeeeahhh smut!
[*Frank's Point Of View
"Gerard can't we just start now?" I asked him, laying sprawled out on our bed. We only had to wait thirty minutes until I was eighteen. The last few hours had already seemed like an entire lifetime though.
"Frankie, just wait a little longer." he told me, sitting t the end of the bed as he sketched something on a piece of paper.
"Well, can't we just make out for awhile then?"
"How about in twenty minutes?" I knew he was having a difficult time saying 'no'. He wanted it bad too. We were both extremely sexually frustrated, but he said if he started doing anything too soon, he wouldn't be able to hold back, so he was making me wait.
"Fine." I sighed. Pushing myself off of the bed, I told him I'd be right back and headed towards the bathroom. I decided it might be a good idea to brush my teeth quickly. Then I headed downstairs for a glass of water.
Even though I was excited, I had to admit it; I was nervous too. What if I did something wrong? Or what if I simply wasn't good at sex? What if Gerard didn't want me afterwards? So many 'what ifs' ran through my head, that time started to speed up.
"Babe, are you almost ready?" I heard Gerard call from upstairs.
"Yup! I'll be right there." I called back. I made myself think positive things. Gerard loved me. He wouldn't care if I were bad at it tonight, it would be my first time. I'd get better.
I chugged down my water, took a deep breath, and headed upstairs. Gerard was still in the bedroom, putting away whatever it was that he had been drawing. When he saw me, he smiled and stopped what he was doing.
"Can I kiss you now?" I asked.
"Yes, you most certainly c-" He was cut off when I pressed my lips to his face. He immediately kissed me back. Slowly, he led us to the bed and I sat down.
"You're still sure about this?" he asked.
"I'm positive." I told him, nodding. "You?"
I looked at the clock on the table next to the bed. There were four minutes left until 12:00. Gerard leaned down and kissed me again. I scooted back slowly so that he could get on the bed. Eventually, I was on my back and he was hovering above me, his lips still gently on mine. His tongue moved into my mouth, exploring it a little. I was already getting hard.
"Ooh!" I suddenly said as he pulled away. I reached over to the table by the bed and grabbed the garter that Mikey had bought at the mall. "Gerard, we have to use this."
"Seriously Frank? We're not married." Gerard looked at the object in my hands.
"Whatever." he rolled his eyes at me. I quickly un-did my pants and Gerard assisted me in pulling them off. I slid the black garter up my leg and let it rest on my upper thigh.
"Alright, you wearing a garter is a little hot." Gerard smirked.
"Shut up and kiss me." I said. He did as told, re-connecting his mouth to mine.
"I'm going to try and make this as painless as possible for you, okay baby?" he told me as I began to un-button his skinny jeans. He pulled off his t-shirt, revealing his pale, sexy chest. I yanked down his pants and he began tugging at my shirt. I lifted up my arms as he pulled it up and disposed off it on the floor.
He began to kiss me again. We laid there, kissing in just our boxers, our breathing heavy. Gerard tugged gently on my boxers and I yanked them off, chucking them on the floor somewhere. He did the same with his, and I couldn't help but to notice how huge he was. He must have noticed my eyes widen because he began to smirk at me.
"Are you nervous?" he asked, his voice was now a low, hoarse whisper.
"A little. " I admitted, chewing on my lip. Gerard grabbed my bottom lip and yanked it away from my teeth.
"Don't bite your lip. That's for me to do."
"Oh, my God." I groaned anxiously. I could feel Gerard's large member move across my stomach as he reached over me and grabbed something off the table.
"Condom and lube." he informed me. "It's cherry flavored. Is that okay? Or do you want a different flavor?"
"Cherry's fine." I breathed. I watched him roll the condom onto his dick, and then squeeze the lube onto his hand and than rub it over the condom. Once he finished, he kissed me softly.
"Ready?" he asked once more.
"Yes." I told him. "And don't worry about hurting me or anything like that. Just do it."
"I love you Frank." he told me, kissing me on the forehead.
"I love you too, Gee."
Gerard gently helped me turn around so that I was on my hands and knees.
"I think it would be a good idea if you concentrate on something to take your mind off of the pain." he said. I just nodded. He moved so that he was directly behind me, and I felt his hands hold onto my sides. I could tell that he was making sure he didn't touch any of the scars on my sides right now.
"I'm just going to do this quick, okay baby?" he said. Again, I just nodded. I began to concentrate on the clock. It was 12:01. I was eighteen, and Gerard didn't need to worry about feeling like a pedophile anymore.
I felt Gerard slowly insert a finger inside me, stretching me out. He slowly added another, then another, and another so that my body would be prepared. I held my breath, trying to get used to the uncomfortable feeling.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yep." I breathed. Gerard removed his fingers and I gasped at the lack of touch. Then I felt him slowly enter me again. I began to breath deeply and grind my teeth. It hurt a little more than I thought.
"Still alright?" he asked me. I couldn't speak for a few seconds, but once I could, I squeaked out an "I'm fine."
"Do you wan't to stop?"
"No." I told him, although a very small part of me did. "Keep going."
"Don't worry, hon. It gets better. Just sit tight for a little while longer." he told me, leaning down to kiss my cheek.
He slowly pulled back, before slamming into me. I could hear a scream and I whimpered a little. He did it again and again, slowly speeding up. With each thrust, it felt a little bit better and easier.
"Oh God!" I screamed. It was amazing how quickly my pain turned into pure pleasure.
"Frankie!" Gerard cried, pushing as hard as he could. We were both panting hard.
"Gerard! Oh shit. I'm-"
I was cut off as I reached my peak. Gerard reached his too, and slid fully out of me, collapsing next to me on the bed.
We both laid there, regaining our breath. Once he seemed to be back to normal, he pulled me close to him.
"Happy birthday, beautiful." he whispered. "I love you."
"I love you too, Gee. And thanks you. That was amazing. It was the best birthday present imaginable." i told him, nuzzling my face into his neck.
There you go, guys. Smut at last. I'm really shitty when it comes to writing that stuff, but oh wellll. And sorry it was shorter than usual. I was about to add more, but then I wouldn't know where to end it so I just stopped it here.
Also, Gerard and Frank will play match maker soon enough.
I'll try to update again soon! Let me know what you think so far!
By the way, shit's about to get serious in this story.

Comments about Presonus FaderPort USB Automation and Transport Control Surface:
This Faderport is great, it delivers accurate automations and allows for swift seamless navigation of the DAW. It also has a special mode for Ableton Live, which I found very useful. The Faderport is an inexpensive way to expedite the creative process when creating or mixing music. I would recommend this for anyone who is in need of motorized faders and doesn't have the money for a large mixing console.

Dogs vs. Machine for Detecting Explosives
Nose to nose, when it comes to portability, dogs win
"Dogs do that automatically. Human beings (with machines) have to cast around. It's slow. You might catch it, you might not catch it."
Secondly, relative to their level of sensitivity, dogs are very portable. "If you give me a room-sized station, I can probably develop something that can sniff as well as a dog," Coren says. "But portable? Um, no, I don't think so."
That's what makes dogs indispensable for police searches. Caissie estimates one dog searches more effectively than 10 officers.
"We can cover more area in less time," agrees Marty, one of CBSA's dog masters at the airport. He and Ozzie, a border collie cross, have made so many drug seizures that he doesn't want his last name used, lest those he has caught come looking for him.
Last year at Pearson, the CBSA made more than 760 drug seizures worth $140 million.
Still, the police and CBSA agree that machines and dogs both have their place in detection work.
"One can't replace the other. They're both very valuable tools," says Caissie.
The Toronto police also use devices such as portable X-ray machines for bomb detection.
Officers at CBSA say they use dogs and machines as independent tools that complement one another. And they're quick to point out that neither dog nor machine is much use on their own. It takes intelligent, well-trained humans to produce meaningful results.
Says CBSA superintendent Falzon, "The tools are only as good as the officer operating them."
For now, that's true, but the next step for machines is to make operators obsolete. Automation cuts out the expense of the operator and removes human error, says Elliott of Smiths Detection.
But, he adds, "I still to a certain extent think that machines will never replace everything, and I just have a sense that dogs may be one of those things."
Elliott recalls hearing recently about dogs sniffing out cancerous moles on human skin.
"Now how does that work?" he asks in a tone of awe.
"It may be one of those things that we always have trouble explaining and we can never copy."

I-405 work coming
Work to replace damaged concrete pavement and smooth the ride along I-405 through Bellevue is expected to begin in May.
On northbound I-405 between S.E. Eighth Street and State Route 520 in Bellevue, crews will replace cracked concrete panels and grind existing pavement to smooth the roadway. While most of this work will occur at night, crews expect to need several weekend closures of northbound I-405 this summer to complete this work.
The full extent of lane closures and the timetable will be posted on the WSDOT website as the project gets closer to construction. Work is scheduled for completion in late 2013.
Guy F. Atkinson Construction, LLC bid $7,277,888.00 to design and build the Bellevue project and another near Sea-Tac airport
