Knowing Mayfield's reputation as a straight shooter and the added responsibilty of being an owner-driver I just don't think he'd be stupid enough to take a chance on ruining his career by taking a controled substance. Especially with nas$cars zero tolerance drug program. We'll see. I could be wrong.

Is Mayfield bluffing or does he have a winning hand?
By admin | May 21, 2009
By Richard Allen
Sometimes in poker you can get caught up in your own bluff. You've got nothing in your hand but you think that by making a big bet you can force the other guy to lay down his cards and thus steal the pot. Amateurs often carry bluffs too far and wind up betting all their chips against someone who actually has a good hand.
We are about to find out if Jeremy Mayfield has gotten caught up in his own bluff or if NASCAR has misread their opponent.
By hiring attorney Bill Diehl, Mayfield has pushed all his chips to the middle of the table. Will NASCAR lay down their cards or match his bet?
Diehl confirmed that he has been hired by the driver who was dealt an indefinite suspension during the Darlington race weekend. "We're working hard for Jeremy," Diehl said. "Either we'll work it out or the court will. We have not filed yet, but we're working hard. That's all I can tell you."
Mayfield contends that the only substance he had taken prior to the Richmond race, where the test was administered, was the allergy reliever Claritin-D.
NASCAR's top drug tester, Dr. David Black, insists that the drug discovered in Mayfield's system was not Claritin-D. Black says he personally told Mayfield the results of the test.
"I have no paperwork whatsoever for what I tested for," Mayfield said. "I don't. They've shown me nothing."
Here, either one party is lying, or at the least, there is a petty issue of semantics.
By hiring an attorney to pursue this case further, Mayfield is either absolutely certain he is right, or he is hoping NASCAR will fold its hand by settling the matter to avoid more publicity.
Whatever the case, the chips are on the table. We are about to find out what cards each side holds.

It could also be the other way around-maybe it is NASCAR that has pushed the chips to the middle of the table and has overplayed its hand. Just maybe they are the true amateurs. Considering how they run the organization, I would appear to be so. And again, it is another example of penalizing from the bottom of the ladder, hoping that the lessons will travel up. It would not surprise me to learn that some of the top stars have been caught, but not punished and they are using Jeremy to warn them what can happen the next time. Stranger things have certainly occurred and let's face it, NASCAR's track record of being above board and consistent isn't the greatest.

I don't buy Mayfield's rant for one second. Gregg Biffle said yesterday, that he trusts NASCAR and Aegis Labs. He said he thinks when you test positive, it's blakc and white.
So far, NOT one driver has sided with Mayfield. That says a lot to me. Also, Mayfield trusted the lab when his crew guy tested positive. Mayfield fired the guy based on Aegis Lab results. Mayfield's dirty.
Chuck Allen Says:

No drivers have PUBLICLY sided with Jeremy. That would be career suicide. Rocking the NASCAR boat is not a wise move. Jeremy has been given no other choice. Again, his crew guy tested positive, yes, but again we don't know what for. Jeremy seemed to agree with the results of Paul Chodora's test. He could have been doing something far worse for all we know. He obviously feels he is correct in doing this, so let's see what happens.He said he respects and believes the drug policy is a good thing, but this particular case may have different circumstances. I wonder what the other competitors who have raced with him the last 17 years are really thinking. Jeremy doesn't seem to be the perihah among those guys that he has been made out to be. I have heard positive remarks from numerous people from Kasey Kahne to Jeff Gordon to….Ray Evernham.

Either way I think both sides come out looking bad here. Neither side has handled this situation well at all and regardless of whether or not this goes to court, I think this is a big negative for both NASCAR and Jeremy.
LB Says:
May 23rd, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I do not understand why Mayfield has never revealed what his prescription was. And I do not understand why NASCAR doesn't reveal what Mayfield tested positive for. It seems both of these issues might help clear the situation up. Something's not right here. I believe Mayfield is banking on the fact that NASCAR won't reveal what the substance was he tested positive for. But if I ran NASCAR, I would definitely tell what it was to help dispel Mayfield's claims. But as long as they don't, there are going to be people who feel Mayfield is being accused falsely.

Santa Clause 3 an Okay Choice for Holiday Entertainment
- Thursday, November 02, 2006
Though the movie starts slowly (frantic, but slow to engage), there are many adorable elements in The Escape Clause. Martin Short steals the show as Jack Frost, playing that fake, jealous, ambition-driven, half nice/half suck-up character that he's so good at (Spy Kids, Father of the Bride, The Three Amigos,). He does a great song-and-dance number at one point that shows off his outrageousness nicely. And the whole turning-the-North-Pole-into-Canada sub-plot is hilarious.
The movie is clearly big-budget, too, with hundreds of talented kids in the cast and some special effects that include an amazing, unusual fireplace that accommodates the rotund Santa quite humorously. There's also a mysterious room that showcases Santa's snow-globes, which float in suspended animation amongst snowflakes. Just beautiful.
Despite its dips and lags in interest here and there, the kids in the screening really enjoyed the movie and said they'd recommend it to others. For parents, again it's sad that almost all Christmas movies fill our kids' heads with Santa and elves and reindeer and sleighs – and even good things like hoping and wishing and helping and family. But they completely ignore the reason for the season – the celebration of our wonderful Lord.
Granted, it's difficult to combine Santa and God. Elvis Presley sort of tried that with his lyrics, "Santa knows we're all God's children, and that makes everything right," but it turned out to be kind of a laughable attempt at a meld. So, with that caveat in mind, do enjoy yet another year of Hollywood's mindless holiday entertainment!
AUDIENCE: Children and adults
- Drugs/Alcohol: None.
- Language: None.
- Sex & Nudity: None.
- Violence: Some comedic violence, as in a man getting hit by shovel, etc.

Jony & Craig
While it's hardly surprising that Apple would make a PR push leading up to the launch of the new iPhones tomorrow, it's somewhat surprising that Apple decided to go with USA Today as well as Bloomberg Businessweek.
USA Today is behind both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal in print circulation and likely far behind in web traffic. More importantly, it's without question far behind in terms of tech-oriented reader mindshare. But perhaps they're trying to appeal to a more mainstream audience.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg Businessweek is ranked 82nd in terms of magazine circulation in the U.S., behind publications such as Boys' Life. To be fair, with Newsweek no longer in the picture, it's hard to come up with another publication that would suit Apple — though Time, with over 3x the circulation, comes to mind.
Anyway, publication choices aside, the pieces are both fascinating. The Bloomberg Businessweek piece has a clear focus on Tim Cook, but strongly plays up the relationship between Jony Ive and Craig Federighi. They're portrayed as sort of the buddy cops to Cook's police chief.
It's interesting that it's only those three executives who were chosen for this PR push — no Phil Schiller, no Eddy Cue, etc — but you can probably write that off as Ive and Federighi being the key cogs for the new iPhones and iOS 7.
The USA Today piece is a little more curious because it only focuses on Ive and Federighi, leaving Cook, quite literally, out of the picture. And oddly, the title focuses solely on Ive, though it's nearly just as much about Federighi (though perhaps that shouldn't be too surprising since Ive is much more well-known than Federighi, who is a more recent addition to the Apple executive team).
This piece is even more about the relationship between Ive and Federighi. Either Apple wants to make it clear that after some well-known tensions in the executive ranks a year ago, things are sailing smoothly now — or Ive and Federighi really do get along this well. Of course, both possibilities could be true as well.
If we want to read more into this — taken together, these pieces almost read like Apple is positioning both Ive and Federighi as the future leaders of the company. Co-CEOs didn't work out so well for BlackBerry, but could it work at Apple? It's well known that Ive is both soft-spoken and attention-shy — which makes these interviews all the more interesting — while Federighi seems like a natural on stage. They compliment each other so nicely and seemingly get along so well…
Or perhaps it's setting up more of a Triumvirate between Cook, Ive, and Federighi. It sort of worked for Rome (twice even), until it didn't. And there's another tech company which comes to mind that ran the Triumvirate format quite well for many years…
Or maybe Apple just wants to assure Wall Street that all is well in Cupertino and to sell some iPhones tomorrow.

Washington: The US Senate has confirmed career diplomat James Cunningham as Ambassador to Afghanistan, replacing Ryan Crocker, who stepped down due to health reasons.
The Senate confirmation, among the long list of ambassadors, came as the Congress began a five-week summer break.
Cunningham has been serving as deputy ambassador at the US embassy in Kabul since June 2011. Earlier, he was the US ambassador to Israel. He also held senior US posts in Hong Kong, NATO and the United Nations.
However, the list did not include Richard Olson, the ambassador-designate for Pakistan.
The confirmation hearing for the two envoys were held early this week.

Knitting has become the hip new trend among twenty- and thirty-somethings, with celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Winona Ryder, Cameron Diaz, Hilary Swank, and Julianne Moore leading the way. This book explores what virtually everyone's grandmother always knew — that when passionate knitters become one with the craft, amazing things start to happen.
In Zen and the Art of Knitting, Bernadette Murphy explores how knitting fits into the large scheme of life itself as . . .
-- Meditation
-- Creative expression
-- A way to cure writer's block
-- A gift to express love
-- A way for children to develop fine motor skills
-- A way to connect generations, past and present
Throughout this magnificent work, readers find practical advice, including a knitted stitch per chapter and a basic pattern in the appendix. For serious knitters, casual hobbyists, creative thinkers, and those seeking to discover an unexplored spiritual channel, Zen and the Art of Knitting is a unique work that will be treasured for years to come.
"Zen and the Art of Knitting is crafted like a handmade sweater, with great texture and beauty and love. Bernadette Murphy artfully knits together creativity, spirituality, and daily life, letting us see the rich and wondrous fabric that connects all of it, all of us, ?in a piece.? This is a book readers will want to wrap themselves up in again and again for comfort, for inspiration, for affirmation of the healing, centering, power of the art.? ?Gayle Brandeis, author of Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write

Tony Abbott rebuffs Victorian coal mining magnate Twiggy Palmcock
Did you hear that Tony Abbott got heckled at Melbourne University the other day during his red tape speech? Actually it was just two young coal businessmen keen to meet their hero! Yes, Victorian mining magnate Twiggy Palmcock, CEO of Excretum Mining and sidekick Michael Higgins Beaumont, founder of Australia's Young Coal Champions, who were both keen to meet their hero and leader of the Liberal Party .
They attended the Secure the Future Conference to thank Tony Abbott personally for his "unwavering support of the fossil fuel industry".
They explain in this video how they just wanted to say "Thank you Tony" and urge him to encourage exploitation of Victoria's low grade brown coal and continue the massive tax subidies for fossil fuel companies to keep them competitive with the upstart renewable technologies of solar and wind power.
"Because as we all know and as Tony has told us Climate change is a conspiracy theory invented by German zoo keepers to bring attention to their celebraty polar bears." said Twiggy.
The interuption came in Tony's speech at the Secure the Future Conference when Twiggy and Michael walked up on stage and stood next to Tony Abbott, introduced themselves and attempted to sing their lauditory song.
Tony was at the conference making his 'Red Tape speech' to primarily businessmen. He warned that if elected Prime Minister next year, that some of the coalition's promises and policies may not be delivered immediately and may need to be phased in and that he would promise to cut red tape, as well as the Carbon Tax and Minerals Resource Rental tax which are projected to raise some $40 billion.
After security guards dragged Twiggy Palmcock and Michael Higgins Beaumont off stage he told the audience of business people that not much had changed at university since his student days. "Isn't it fantastic to see that undergraduate humour does not change," he said.
Well, yes it does Tony. Punching the wall intimidating a woman when you loose the election to become SRC President is not very nice behaviour even back in the 1970s. Twiggy and Michael were just trying to cut some of the red tape in congratulating you directly on your continued support for the Greenhouse Mafia in Australia. What better place than when your presenting your 'Cut the Red Tape' speech?
I am sure Twiggy and Michael were very concerned when in an interview Tony Abbott argued for a simple carbon tax in 2009. But now Tony has renounced that brief controversial position and remains a climate denier at heart, despite the volumes of reports and scientific papers written on the subject by the liberal intellectual elite like this one from the Australian Academy of Science in 2010. Maybe it is time we had a 'flat earther' as Prime Minister who places his faith in mining companies and greed rather than in boring white coated climate scientists?
Thank you TONY, TONY
You can read more on Hecklers cut into Abbott's red tape speech at the ABC News. But thanks must go to those subversives at Quit Coal for bringing the full story to light.

Sami Hayek, 40, was driving a Ford GT sports car on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, on Sunday (23.02.14), when he allegedly lost control of the vehicle and smashed into a Toyota pickup truck.
Sami was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical center after suffering broken ribs and a gash to the head during the accident, while his unidentified male passenger died at the scene.
Officers are still trying to get in touch with the victim's relatives and will not release his name until they have been contacted, although it is believed he was a 43-year-old resident of Mexico, according to reports.
Meanwhile, the driver of the pickup truck, Alvin Javier Gomez, 20, was also taken to hospital after complaining of body pain and suffering from a broken foot.
Law enforcement officers believe Sami lost control of his car after swerving to avoid an on-coming vehicle, but the investigation is still on-going and no arrests have been made.
Salma, 47, is yet to comment on the incident.

Watch then all and make sure to put the sound on.
The Indians reeled in Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the D-backs as part of December's nine-player, three-team trade with Arizona and Cincinnati. Cleveland also signed former closer Matt Capps and lefty Rich Hill to Minor League contracts. That foursome joins Frank Herrmann, Cody Allen, Nick Hagadone, Scott Barnes and David Huff among the primary bullpen hopefuls.
"The bullpen has been supplemented and I don't see why it won't be a strength again," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "I think [Antonetti] did a great job of bringing in depth."
The bullpen competition will officially be under way Friday, when the Indians open their Cactus League schedule with a 3:05 p.m. ET tilt against the Reds.

I recently attended a holiday open house celebration at East End Community Services in Dayton, Ohio. The celebration was two-pronged: to commemorate the organization's completion of its 84th single family affordable home and to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the group's expanded youth center.
East End is a multi-faceted nonprofit service provider, offering homeownership opportunities as well as supporting community development, youth development, and workforce development for residents of east Dayton. Launched in 1998, East End Community Services provides programming that is part of a holistic neighborhood transformation initiative meant to help each child succeed to the best of his or her abilities, in order to become successful adults who can give back to the community.
To achieve its goal, East End provides crucial support to both children and adults. Through their housing development, community building, afterschool and summer programming, educational initiatives, and services for teens, parents, single adults, and seniors, East End reaches more than 3,000 individuals a year. That figure rises to more than 4,000 when you count all the children from the families they serve.
A few things struck me that evening at the open house. First was the overall sense of community among those in attendance. Second, the diversity of attendees: community folks, local stakeholders from banks and foundations, East End staff members, various non-profit groups, government officials, even a former Ohio Governor came out to the celebration. And finally, the feeling of shared accomplishment for the East End and a genuine sense of joy at their success.
As I was leaving I spoke to Doug Thompson, chief financial officer for East End, and I want to share a little of our conversation. Doug recently participated in a meeting with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington D.C. I won't go into details about the meeting here—perhaps we can discuss that in a future post—but I wanted to tell you about Doug's reaction to the experience. He told me he had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming—he really was at the Federal Reserve in D.C. Doug considered it a privilege, being asked to participate in the meeting, and said he felt honored to share his experience working at East End. He called the trip to D.C. a highlight of his non-profit career, and said he appreciated that his opinion and expertise were valued by us.
It was uplifting listening to Doug tell me about his experience. For me it is always humbling listening to the stories of organizations like East End's. Their mission and dedication are inspiring, but more important, their work is critical for those they serve and the neighborhoods they work in. Non-profit work is hard and at times slow going. That's why it is fun to have a chance to celebrate a success story. It was a pleasure to be part of such an inspirational celebration for the East End community, dance team and all.
I recently told my 15-year-old daughter that the Cleveland Fed was hosting a SWAG meeting and she laughed. Her urban slang definition of "swag" is confidence and style—think the rapper Jay-Z. She apparently had a hard time imagining a swag gathering of this kind at the Fed. And who can blame her? In this case, SWAG stands for Strategic Workforce Alignment Group, an effort led by Cuyahoga County business leaders and workforce development agencies. SWAG and its component workgroups have been meeting throughout 2013 to figure out how to better align employer needs—in terms of skills for current and future jobs—and the curriculum of trainers, including nonprofit organizations, community colleges, and technical schools.
More than 70 employers attended the meeting at the Fed on October 28. The day began with a panel of large employers—RTA, Dominion East Ohio, University Hospitals, and a recruiting agency—whose representatives described their firms' hiring challenges. These include an aging workforce; a pipeline of inadequately trained mid-skilled workers; high volumes of applicants for low-skill jobs; and difficulties achieving diversity. They also described how they addressed the lack of soft skills in their applicants, the re-entry (from prison) population, persons with disabilities, and incorporating newer certifications into hiring decisions. Soft skills are basically job readiness skills, such as showing up on time and being able to work on teams and interact with other people. Among prospective employees, panelists noted that ex-offenders and the disabled often face a variety of barriers to employment, including stigmas, although many companies that hire these populations attest to their work ethic and productivity. (See also our recent Fed Commentary, "The Employability of Returning Citizens is Key to Neighborhood Revitalization.")
Breakout groups drilled down further. One session that focused on re-entry featured a potentially promising practice: the Edwin's Leadership and Restaurant Institute, a recently opened culinary school that trains ex-offenders for jobs in the hospitality industry. The Institute helps applicants meet their basic needs, including housing and transportation, for the six-month training period to help ensure successful completion of their culinary education.
Challenges discussed at this SWAG meeting have also surfaced as themes from our outreach meetings and roundtables through the course of this year, as both Paul Kaboth and Joe Ott have described in previous "Notes" entries. Be sure to look for our future reports on the results of our research and outreach in both Ohio and Pennsylvania.
I'm more and more amazed at how fast time passes. This year is rapidly coming to a close, with Thanksgiving less than a month away. Before we can say "Kris Kringle" it will be December and then the New Year. Back in late 2012 when my staff and I were planning our outreach, external programs, and research agenda, we recognized that 2013 would be a blur of non–stop activity. We were correct. And while reflecting at this point may seem akin to stores putting out Christmas decorations in October, I'd like to take a look back now for two reasons: to share what we've accomplished so far and to ask for your input as we look ahead to 2014.
We had three major goals for 2013:
- publish impactful research on the housing market,
- become engaged in and more knowledgeable about workforce development issues in our district, and
- provide high–quality, relevant public programs on issues where we have expertise.
While we have a few weeks to go and some work to finalize, I think we've accomplished each of these goals.
We released two notable research papers this year that have received more than a little attention (our third research piece will be published in 2014). The first, "Policy Considerations for Ohio's Housing Markets," offers policy options to improve the foreclosure process for abandoned properties in Ohio. The second, "Low–Income Rental Housing Options in the Fourth District," discusses the operational characteristics of the two most prevalent federal programs for affordable rental housing—the low–income housing tax credit and the housing choice voucher. Both papers build on our work in housing, and have prompted requests for presentations and more information on the topics from municipal leaders, academics, and policymakers alike.
With respect to becoming more knowledgeable about workforce development issues, our outreach team has participated in some 30 meetings with individuals and entities from across our district engaged in this area. In one such effort, we partnered with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to hold listening sessions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to learn from administrators and professionals who work daily to train or place the unemployed. In Ohio, we met with state and federal staff, high school and community college administrators, and professionals from chambers of commerce, business associations, and social service agencies to learn about the demand for and challenges in training workers. In Kentucky, we've engaged with state officials and grant makers as part of this learning process. We are summarizing all of this work, and what we've learned, in a report that will be published by the end of the year.
Finally, I believe we've succeeded in providing interesting, challenging, and meaningful public programming to our stakeholders. To mention a few highlights, almost 300 community development practitioners, public officials, and researchers attended our 2013 Policy Summit in September (you can access videos, research papers, and presentations from the Policy Summit here), which we co–sponsored with the Philadelphia Fed. We partnered with a regional policy group on a series of problem–property webinars for county and municipal administrators across Ohio. We held workshops on access to credit and capital for small business. We also partnered with three Reserve Banks on "Redefining 'Rust Belt,'" a series of videoconferences that brings together leaders from Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Detroit to share ideas for community revitalization. The feedback from all these efforts has been extremely positive.
Now it's your turn to weigh in. If you've read our work, met with us this year, or attended one of our public programs, I thank you and would very much like to hear how our work helped you in completing your mission. More important, what can we do to build on and improve our efforts to support community and economic development in our region?
If you haven't looked at the work on our website, I encourage you to do so. We've begun planning for 2014 and our menu of activities is as aggressive and diverse as it was this year. Have a suggestion for where we can add value? Let me or someone on the team know. And check back with us often to learn what we're working on and how it may fit your needs. We appreciate hearing from you!
This past summer, the Community Development teams from the Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Philadelphia collaborated on a series of listening sessions in Pennsylvania to better understand the issues and challenges in workforce development. The impetus for our conducting these sessions was to develop a broader understanding of the lower labor force participation rate and skills mismatch of young people between the ages of 16 and 24, particularly in post-industrial cities and their surrounding regions. Additionally, we wanted to identify local strategies that encourage the alignment of education and employment initiatives to improve job opportunities for this demographic, as well as ways to facilitate engagement and collaboration among a broad group of stakeholders.
In all, we traveled to five cities (Erie, Harrisburg, Scranton, Pittsburgh and Johnstown) and met with more than 100 workforce practitioners to gather information.We will share what we learned from the sessions this fall in a joint Cleveland/Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank publication; however, here are a couple of general observations I'll share now.
For most complex issues, there are many diverse stakeholders taking different approaches to address problems …and workforce development is no different. Stakeholder focus (including type of client served), background, funding and expertise vary widely within and across regions. For the sake of manageability, we convened only a segment of each region's stakeholder groups (on average 25 experts in each location). However, total staff focused on workforce development easily number in the hundreds within each of our selected geographies.
Along with the diversity in representatives, we were amazed at the variation in their viewpoints. To give you a sense of the variety of players involved (there will be a comprehensive list in the upcoming publication) and the breadth of their perspectives, consider that we invited K-12 school districts, community colleges, chambers of commerce, social service agencies with workforce development programs, and community foundations to participate, because they are all actively working in the field. These organizations, along with local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) and Pennsylvania's CareerLink systems, represent only a subset of the total workforce development infrastructure. Not surprisingly, each of these organizations faces different challenges and has opportunities to excel where others cannot.
Given the wide scope of worker training needs, it seems natural for such an array of stakeholders to be involved. The variation in worker age, education, skills and employment opportunity lends itself to a broader network of service providers to address the different and complex needs of worker training. However, having so many providers in the delivery system does add a layer of complexity. Because worker training needs vary so much, efficiency and scalability may be harder to incorporate into the workforce development infrastructure; however, based on the information we gathered, it appears that additional effectiveness and efficiency can be realized. To that end, we learned about a number of effective and efficient practices currently in place to connect workers to employment opportunities. Additionally, we identified several organizations that were partnering with one another to realize efficiency on specific programs and initiatives. Nevertheless, it is not clear that partnering is systematic across the Commonwealth. Furthermore, we noted that regions generally are not actively collaborating with other similarly situated regions. The good news is that we identified practices that can be shared, incorporated, and replicated into the delivery system to increase effectiveness and efficiency while still being responsive to particular locales and constituents.
As I note above, the intent of this post is simply to provide some high-level, general observations gleaned from our joint initiative. Currently, we are working on our joint publication with the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank; this publication is scheduled for release later this Fall. In the meantime, here are a couple of resources you may find useful in thinking about workforce development:
- Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia; Cascade Community Development Publication: No. 78 Fall 2011;http://www.philadelphiafed.org/community-development/publications/cascade/78/cascade_no-78.pdf
- Federal Reserve Board of Governors; Report; A Perspective from Main Street: Long-Term Unemployment and Workforce Development; December 2012 http://www.federalreserve.gov/communitydev/long-term-unemployment-and-workforce-development.htm
- Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland; Economic Trends; Educational Attainment and Demographic Differences in Employment; March 2013 http://www.clevelandfed.org/research/trends/2013/0313/01houcon.cfm?WT.oss=employment&WT.oss_r=6470
We've all heard of "bundled services," where a provider—say, your local telecom—offers area residents discounts if they opt to purchase telephone, Internet, and cable television services in a single package. The advantages to consumers include cost savings and the convenience of dealing with a single provider for service issues and billing. Advantages to providers are increased volume of services purchased and economies of scale in providing those services.
Now that concept is being tried in community development. Last fall I attended the grand opening of CityLink Center in Cincinnati, a project 12 years in the making. The original idea for the center was to provide services for homeless citizens in the city's Queensgate neighborhood. Over the years, the focus broadened from providing services strictly for the homeless to providing a range of support services for the working poor. The $12 million project was funded largely with private donations through a faith-based organization.
Here's how the newer model works: CityLink combines many agencies at the same site to offer a one-stop shop for individuals in need of support. The services may include financial education, workforce development, education, transportation, health and wellness, and even daycare for individuals while on site. CityLink's approach is based on the idea that support services are much more effective when they work together. A growing movement for this integrated, co-located services approach includes organizations using this bundled model in helping people overcome poverty.
This bundling of services comes from a model developed by the Center for Working Families (CWF), an organization pioneered by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and supported by several other foundations as a means of helping low-income families reach financial stability and make their way up the economic ladder. Prompted by feedback on why programs to fight poverty were underutilized—reasons ranged from an inability to get childcare or transportation to lack of awareness and embarrassment in asking for assistance—CWF devised bundling to address the multifaceted challenges low-income, working adults and their families face.
CityLink integrates multiple services and offers a holistic solution to these barriers by offering financial education, employment-readiness services, and access to publicly available resources in a single location. This bundled services model is now being used in a variety of organizations across the United States, including
- The MET Center in St. Louis, a regional workforce training program with a wide variety of clients, partners and public-sector funding streams,
- The Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation, a smaller, community-based program in West Baltimore, and
- Central New Mexico Community College, a large regional college mostly serving low-income working adults.
The Casey Foundation published a report in 2010 evaluating and detailing how these three organizations had each incorporated an integrated services approach to fostering family economic success. The report also includes key principles for successfully implementing the CWF model in any organization.
Many individuals came to support CityLinks at its grand opening--politicians, bankers, social service providers, and representatives from faith organizations, foundations, learning institutions, and more. I counted 68 groups listed on the program! The desire to help is evident; here's hoping this is a lasting model to assist people who want to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Reflecting on a series of visits to Erie, Pennsylvania, this year, I find that one of my most notable takeaways is the passion and commitment to the region of those working in community development. Many of the Erie stakeholders we've met with mention the great quality of life the region offers—including the affordability of the market, its amenities (including recreation opportunities the lake provides), and the creative spirit of its residents. Erie has its share of community development issues that need to be addressed, such as pockets of blight within communities, the lack of sufficient jobs for its residents, and the need for better land–use strategies for future development. However, Erie stakeholders are also making a number of positive investments that will benefit the future of the region. The mere fact that multiple stakeholder groups are organizing to address these issues demonstrates that Erie is moving in a positive direction.
Community development issues
Similar to many smaller, older industrial cities facing like challenges, Erie leaders are placing a considerable emphasis on housing and economic opportunity. The City of Erie has an oversupply of housing, as well as more than 4,000 vacant lots. Additionally, there appears to be a spatial mismatch between the areas in which residents live and available housing. Erie's downtown district, for example, sports very low vacancy. According to local developers, market–rate rental housing in this district—filled for the most part with empty nesters and young professionals—has a vacancy rate of less than 2 percent. At the same time, developers report shortages in affordable rental options. It is worth noting that, according to some reports, approximately 92 percent of new homes constructed in the City of Erie are subsidized in some way. Though the types of subsidies depend on the type of project, efforts are being made to focus investments in a manner designed to yield the greatest return. However, similar to many municipal investment strategies, investments should periodically be reviewed by local leaders to ensure efficiency. Finally, 75 percent of Erie's homes have values that are lower than their respective replacement costs (this figure includes the City of Erie and the City of Corry). On the surface, some may view this figure as a badge of Erie's affordability; however, this is concerning to many because of the likelihood of a much higher instance of vacancy and abandonment.
Properties with values lower than their replacement costs are common in many 4th District communities. What are your thoughts on the best way to address this issue? Please feel free to contact me with your ideas. Also, look for my next post on workforce development listening sessions we're conducting in partnership with the Philadelphia Fed.
The need for better and integrated data to address policy and social issues is a recurring theme that comes up time and again in our outreach. For example, on a visit to Warren, Ohio, we learned from the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership (TNP)—the only community development corporation in Warren—that the biggest community development problem in town is the significant number of scattered vacant and blighted properties. In order to strategically address the blight, TNP first needs data on properties and their conditions so they can determine which properties are candidates for demolition or for repair. TNP is using a recent HUD Community Challenge grant award to thoroughly inventory all property parcels in the city in a survey of their condition and occupancy status. In cases of extreme dilapidation, TNP advocates for demolition by the city. TNP also runs a side lot program for the Trumbull County Land Bank wherein neighbors can buy vacant lots resulting from demolition in order to expand their properties.
Having an inventory is important to address blight, as is having data more generally. As one community development practitioner puts it, to know where you are going, you need to know where you are. This knowledge is also important in broader regional economic development conversations. Economic competitiveness is one topic we've been hearing about in Northeast Ohio. For example, the question of how to make cities like Warren, with shrinking populations and dwindling employment opportunities (both of which contribute to vacancy and abandonment), economically competitive is very much on the minds of staff at the Raymond J. Wean Foundation. Local conversations on regional economic development in the Mahoning Valley have focused on talent development and inclusion. Foundations and decision makers recognize that data—and the ability to manipulate it—is integral to understanding the issues at hand and to monitor changes in response to investments. One such issue that we hear repeatedly in our outreach, particularly in Northeast Ohio, is how to expand job opportunities for traditionally hard-to-employ populations.
Northeast Ohio is lucky to have NEO CANDO, a free and publicly accessible social and economic data system managed by Case Western Reserve University's Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development. The system has data for the 17 counties across Northeast Ohio. What data resources are available in your community? And what resources would help you do your job?

I recently became aware of a trend funders are using to identify key strategic partners. Before joining the Cleveland Fed last year, I worked in the nonprofit industry. One of the challenges we faced was competing with other nonprofits for a finite pool of money that funders typically awarded to individual grantees. Organizations like mine all worked separately to make a case for how we could put those dollars to best use. The success of a project was determined by the capacity of the individual organization to deliver and the impact the project had on a neighborhood.
Now funders are employing a more holistic model, where multiple entities work together to solve complex issues facing communities. Multiple organizations working together can not only enhance and deepen understanding of the breadth of these issues, but they are also better equipped to devise and effect solutions. This collaborative approach aligns a cross-section of agencies, including non-profit, government, corporate, and philanthropic, and allows for coordination of resources. Organizations working together toward the same goal can use the same methods to measure outcomes. This collective impact approach can be applied to a range of complex issues involving community development, education, workforce development, and health.
So, what does this mean for organizations seeking a foundation's support? One key is to become the lead organization in a strategic partnership. Funders are looking for organizations to take a leading role in strategic partnerships. Strategic pairing of organizations allows for capacity building for communities. With resources becoming scarcer, funders are looking to achieve the highest and best use of their investment dollars with organizations that collectively can produce the desired outcomes.
Here's an example of what can happen. A nonprofit whose board I serve on will receive funds because it is a lead organization in a strategic partnership. What this means is the organization will go from building one or two homes a year to redefining its community's central business district. It will be able to bring multiple new businesses into the neighborhood, change the dynamic of a community by providing an art center, and provide affordable safe rental housing in its community.
We are also considering providing a community kitchen. Many exciting ideas came out of a community quality-of-life planning session this past summer. These changes occurred because there was cohesiveness among many organizations and the right leadership in place to organize multiple entities. This wasn't an easy process; it took years of getting the right leadership in place to achieve these goals and be in the position to impact this neighborhood in a significant way. In the end, though, such collaborations can yield wonderful benefits to a community.
And that's the name of the wooing game these days.

2011-12 Season Preview: Tampa Bay Lightning
After falling to the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Final, the Tampa Bay Lightning are ready to start the 2011-12 campaign in search of getting back to the playoffs and once again contending for Lord Stanley's Cup.
When free agency opened on July 1st, general manager Steve Yzerman did not hold back as he began to make the necessary moves to fill the holes that were created by those players that had left and signed with other teams.
Steven Stamkos re-signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning for five year/$37.5 million on July 19th. Stamkos finished the 2010-11 season with 45 goals, 45 assists for 91 points. In his NHL career he has 119 goals, 113 goals, 232 points.
Who's Out: LW – Simon Gagne (LAK), LW – Sean Bergenheim (FLA), LW – Chris Durno (CAR), D – Matt Smaby (ANA), D – Randy Jones (WPG), and G – Mike Smith (PHO).
Who's In: RW – Ryan Shannon, LW – Alexandre Picard, C – Trevor Smith, C – Tom Pyatt, D – Matt Gilroy, D – Bruno Gervais, and G – Mathieu Garon.
Player on the rise: Teddy Purcell. Purcell, 26, recorded career numbers playing in 81 regular season games in 2010-11 (17G – 34A – 51PTS). During the playoffs, his production continued recording six goals, 11 assists for 17 points in 18 games played.
Player to keep an eye on: Ryan Shannon. The 5' 9" forward played in 79 regular season games with the Ottawa Senators last year and recorded 11 goals, 16 assists. Shannon has gone from sleeper to a quality production player. Could possibly be seen playing with his idol, Martin St. Louis.
Tampa Bay will start the season with their longest road trip during 2011-12 and do not open at home until October 17th vs. Florida Panthers.
Dates to Remember: Oct. 8th at Boston Bruins; Oct. 10th at Washington Capitals; and then the six games against the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 29th, Nov. 14th, Feb. 2nd, Feb. 23rd, Mar. 31st, and on APR. 7th. The former Atlanta Thrashers team has lost 11 straight against the Bolts. Tampa Bay will try and prevent them from exiting the Southeast Division on a high note and keeping that streak alive.
The team itself is not the only thing getting Lightning fans excited as the St. Pete Times Forum has undergone renovations during this offseason estimated at $35 million. The transformation will be noticed prior to entering the arena as a new grand entry on the west side, which is still under construction and will feature a newly designed box office and merchandise store. Every fan will enjoy new seats as they have all been replaced; and something that will especially benefit those on the Terrace Level will be an 11,000 square foot outdoor deck overlooking downtown Tampa. Eight suites on the plaza level open up to the renovated main concourse which includes new flooring and concessions. Two Terrace level sections have been removed creating space for a performance stage that includes a pipe organ. Two coils have been installed and will shoot lightning 25 feet across the arena in each direction.
Improvements in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning throughout the arena for the comfort of the fans and improving ice conditions for players. Lightning players will be treated to an enhanced team locker room.

Worried about what your child or employee is texting on your smartphone? Now you can monitor all of their text messages and take control when there is trouble with PhoneSheriff. When you install PhoneSheriff onto the cell phone that you own, you will be able to monitor text messages online from a remote location.
Not only can you monitor text messages and other activities performed on the cell phone, you can also filter content in order to block access certain contacts. After you select a contact to add to the blacklist, you child or employee will not be able to send or receive text messages from that contact.
No wonder parents and employers choose PhoneSheriff over any other leading brand for their cell phone monitoring needs. You'll be amazed by the online control panel that gives you detailed records of their activities, and allows you to set filters and restrictions such as:
Many employees use smartphones to communicate with others while on the go or in the office to save time. Much of the communication is done by texting. When your employees use company owned smartphones, it is important for you to be able to monitor their text messages in order to keep them working efficiently and protect company secrets. That's why PhoneSheriff is number one choice for company smartphone monitoring.
Your child is constantly texting her friends and usually seems excited and happy when she does. But lately she seems withdrawn and goes to the other room when texting. With PhoneSheriff installed, you are able to monitor text messages, call info, and contacts from the online control panel to see what is going on. If there is a problem and you want to stop her from sending and receiving texts and calls from certain people, then you can use PhoneSheriff to set up a blacklist and block contacts.
"Our daughter stole our truck, bank cards, credit cards and the smartphone. The only way to find her was by tracking the SMS with your software. The police were able to catch her with the texts."
"After having some doubts about honesty, this really helped set the record straight and confirmed my suspicions."
"No issues whatsoever with this product. Once installed it runs silently and flawlessly. If you have someone you want to or need to monitor, this is the tool to use."

Not Sorting Laundry
I don't sort clothes when I wash them. There is a great product out called Color Catchers by Shout. I have used them for years. You just throw them in with your clothes and any color that bleeds from the clothes is caught on the sheet. Simply throw it away after the wash. Showed this to my son when he was 12 and we have never had a problem, works really well with red clothing and blue jeans.

A second macaque monkey has died at a Bristol Myers-Squibb testing laboratory. The New York pharmaceutical company's New Brunswick testing facility left a macaque monkey unattended and restrained, which resulted in the animals unnecessary death.
The first macaque monkey was boiled alive after being left in a cage that was submerged in scalding water for to clean the cage- noone checked to make sure the cage was empty.
Both of these abusive incidents could have been avoided were it not for irresponsible neglect, and could have been completely avoided if Bristol Myers-Squbb stopped using animals in testing labs. We ask Bristol Myers to stop using animals in their experiments.

It's a big weekend if you like festivals and big crowds.
It's a big weekend if you like parades and celebrations. And it's a really big weekend if you like watermelon.
The 54th annual Watermelon Festival will be held in downtown Chiefland this weekend. Large crowds are expected at the all-day event, which opens at 8 a.m. with the opening of arts and crafts shows.
Army Pvt. William M. Vaughan has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C.
During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises.
Though there's a lot going on this weekend, the Yulee-Diddley Day in Archer is promising to be a statewide event that will see thousands of people descend on the village to our north.
At the Williston Chamber of Commerce last week, Yulee-Diddley Day promoter Bert Wetherington told members that vendors from across Florida have committed to the day which combines to honor David Levy Yulee, Florida's first state senator and this county's namesake, and Music Hall of Famer Bo Diddley, who died last year.

"This is more like the old days, the kind of money we used to raise," said Betty Walker, Executive Director of Levy Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC).
She was talking about the check for $10,400 that officers from Bronson AMVETS Post 88 had just presented her, the proceeds from last month's 33rd Annual Wild Hog Canoe and Kayak Race. With some 50 sponsors and 60 boats in this year's race, AMVETS' contribution vastly exceeded the take from any Wild Hog race in years.

Forrest Gump synopsis
Slow-witted Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive mother (Sally Field), he leads anything but a restricted life. Whether dominating on the gridiron as a college football star, fighting in Vietnam or captaining a shrimp boat, Forrest inspires people with his childlike optimism. But one person Forrest cares about most may be the most difficult to save -- his childhood love, the sweet but troubled Jenny (Robin Wright).

Workplace Harassment & Grudges – Let it go!
August 26, 2012 9:06 am / 5 Comments
Revenge, Resentment & Rumination
When you're hurt by someone you love and trust, you might become angry, sad or confused. If you dwell on hurtful events or situations, grudges filled with resentment, vengeance and hostility can take root. If you allow negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. – The Mayo Clinic
Friday morning Jeffrey Johnson became both judge and jury when he determined the office grudge he reportedly shared with co-worker Steve Ercolino merited the death penalty. A punishment he carried out himself when he ambushed Ercolino on the street. We can point fingers of blame — but where do we point them? The employer? Analyzing how they handled the situation at the time is certainly beneficial in guiding other organizations. But, whatever mistakes they may or may not have made Johnson was downsized out of his job over a year before. Would anti-bullying legislation have prevented this? The office conflict had risen to the level of physical harassment early on and there was legal recourse in place. Grabbing someone by the throat and threatening them is already legislated. In fact both men had filed police reports. Raymond DiGiuseppe, chair in the Department of Psychology at St. John's University, is quoted in the New York Observer: (more…)

SPRINGFIELD, Minn. (AP) — School officials say it may not have been carbon monoxide that sickened 30 children and forced an evacuation of a southern Minnesota school.
Investigators initially suspected a carbon monoxide leak caused nausea and headaches at Springfield Public School Thursday. Thirty children were taken to Mayo Clinic in Springfield, where they were treated and later released to their parents.
Superintendent Keith Kotke tells KTOE radio (http://bit.ly/LEau4M ) that professional readings taken inside the school so far have been negative for carbon monoxide.
Classes are canceled at the K-12 school where more testing is expected to be done Friday.
