A surprise stop at Waupun starts the dayPosted by on May 15, 2013 – 11:09 am
Now on the second day, the Tailgate Tour is motoring along toward Beloit after making a surprise stop at Waupun Junior/Senior High School.
The crew surprised more than 800 students at a school assembly and spoke to them about making goals and achieving their dreams, and how hard work and doing well in school are critical to their success.
Randall Cobb and Santana Dotson spoke about the topics, and Dotson stressed that showing up is a good start, but only half the effort. Working hard on the academic part of high school is crucial. He drew laughs telling the kids that osmosis learning through a book under a pillow is not the approach to take.
Aaron Taylor added that professional sports goals are worthy aspirations, but everyone needs to have an alternative goal. He and the other players would be ex-athletes for a much longer period in life, so each of them has to have a secondary career goal.Jarrett Bush has firsthand experience with an academic focus; many of his immediate family members have graduate degrees. So while he's been successful in football, he has maintained a goal to obtain a master's degree. And he had to work hard on academics through high school and college, but he put in the extra time and is positioned to continue with a career after football.
Some fun topics were broached, too, with Cobb revealing that among his hardest obstacles to overcome in high school was his love of sleep. He said it still is a challenge today at times.
When asked about early career aspirations other than football, Taylor recalled how he wanted to be a chef. Beyond him being a large fellow and liking to eat, he explained that he had a love of food and recipes, and even went as far as to prepare an intricate Thanksgiving meal as a 9-year-old. His mom did help.
Before throwing footballs to the students, the players did talk some football, too, with topics ranging from leaders on defense to aspirations of a Super Bowl.
As the crew got back on the bus to continue the day's trip to Beloit, Mark Murphy noticed a news report on the TVs about OJ Simpson and said, "There's a great example of what we were talking about to the students…you don't want to end up there."

Thank you so much for stopping at the Waupun Jr/Sr High School today. It was inspirational to hear the players talk about the importance of setting goals and especially having a backup plan. High School students need to hear this message.

What an AWESOME surprise! I am active with the Fuel Up to Play 60 program sponsored by the NFL and the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board at Meadow View Primary School in Waupun just down the road and we were lucky to have former Green Bay Packer Ahman Green kick off our FUTP60 program this fall. I was excited to have the students at Waupun Jr/Sr High School get to be a part of the Packer Tailgate Tour! Loved their message about having goals and dreams! Thank you Green Bay Packers for giving back to our community. Just another reason why we LOVE our Green and Gold! Go Pack Go!

Well, like any good write up, it is supposed to spark conversation. I think this one does that. I also believe each class should have it's signature item- something they would want to use throughout their playing time. Tanks might want a shield, Mages might want a staff. I have only transmogged one thing so far (goggles) but I appreciate it will be there when I do find my signature items for my toons. Well played Rossi. Well played indeed.

The opportunities, and risks, of TV Everywhere
New TM Forum white paper, along with the group's work with CableLabs, starts to examine the wide-ranging impact of multi-screen video
As new video content and delivery ecosystems expand and mature, it brings together unlikely bed-fellows. Telco OSS/BSS infrastructure must address the TV challenge.
Industry News
Briefing Room
TV Everywhere (TVE), in particular, brings new challenges to multi-service operators (MSOs) according to a new paper from the TM Forum. Apart from bandwidth considerations and the demand that is being driven in part by the success of tablets, MSOs must now get involved in rights negotiations; authorization procedures; parental controls; caps; multiple device management issues; integration and support.
The rate of uptake of tablets is driving TV Everywhere faster than expected. Tablet sales are predicted to total 450 million by 2015, according to the report, while Parks Associates notes that 81 percent of North Americans and 40 percent of Western Europeans can now access some form of TV Everywhere.
TV Everywhere gives traditional fixed line players, particularly cable companies, an advantage since they are more likely to own or control the last mile to customers premises which means they can control the quality better than a wireless carrier can. It is, according to the title of the paper, cables next frontier. Although wireless carriers are at a disadvantage, some see the arrival of 4G as the answer. While 4G might provide the capacity and speed, controlling the quality of the experience is still uncertain, according to Allan Zendle, a vice president at consulting firm TMNG Global.
Right now TV Everywhere is fulfilling its primary first objective. It is a compelling tool in the customer retention battle. As an unnamed vendor puts it in the paper, the more you insinuate yourself into a consumers life, the less likely it is theyll leave you.
The OSS/BSS challenges cannot be understated. TV is only now hitting the radars of telcos and their suppliers are now producing a range of products that sound alien to the requirements of telcos video quality monitoring solutions, rights management tools and a new wave of customer facing solutions. These must now address more complex customer provisioning requirements, authentication, fulfillment, service assurance and settlement processes.
The TM Forum is working with CableLabs on the converging standards that will be needed to address the two worlds, one based on IP and one that lives through a content delivery network. Now, more than ever, network quality and the customer experience are inextricably linked and the walls must finally come down between OSS and BSS silos, otherwise the side effects will be severe.

Thetford, Vermont - August 15, 2008
Carmen Tarleton survived a horrific domestic assault that changed her appearance and life forever.
She's already faced multiple surgeries and has more to go. But she's making plans for the future.
"We are sit around and say, 'oh my God I could never do that,' and the truth is I believe you can," Tarleton says.
Tarleton is slowly healing from the wounds suffered during the brutal domestic assault. Police say her estranged husband poured industrial strength lye all over her-- scarring most of her face and body. But the injuries are not stopping her.
"I walk independently, I have a blind cane, and I'm able to get up and do simple things like go to the bathroom and hit the kitchen," she says.
A synthetic cornea has been placed in her left eye. It's hoped that will restore at least some of her sight. Tarleton has had about 40 surgeries since the attack and she knows that more are in her future.
"I'm going to have my mouth and my nose fixed," she explains. "I'm still with open wounds so I don't know if I am going to need some skin grafts to that or not."
Tarleton's sister, Kesstan Blandin, says, "When something so big and unfair happens to someone you love and your family, it sets everything in its proper relationship in life."
Blandin says that in some ways, the incident has brought a new richness to their family. "She just confronts what has happens to her, then deals with it, then gets very practical."
Which will eventually mean sharing her story-- hoping to give strength to others.
Tarleton says, "I do plan on writing a book some day in the near future and I do plan on, I hope to start a foundation for people who need help in the Upper Valley. Not just domestic violence."
And going back to work as a nurse, though Tarleton acknowledges she probably will not be able to work bedside like she used to.
"Nursing is a wide field and I'm just going to find another place in nursing, that's all," she says.
But, for right now, Tarleton says it's just one day at a time.
"Maybe I got to take a couple years of recovery to get where I want to go but if that is what I got to do, that is what I got to do."
People who have heard Carmen speak out-- especially those in the field of domestic violence-- say she is an inspiration for all the other victims out there.
"One of the things that is amazing about having the opportunity to work with people that have experienced these horrible things is to see their amazing ability to overcome it, and to try to find meaning after something like this has happened, and it seems like that is certainly what Carmen is doing which is really amazing. I think too, that it is wonderful that she is willing to give a voice to something that often times people have a difficult time talking about," says Lavinia Weizel, who works for a crisis center.
But experts say that how people deal with these crimes really needs to be decided on an individual basis. The following are hotlines and websites that can help.

(01/02/14) - It's a Sparty Party in East Lansing now that the team is back in town.
Fans and students gave them a warm welcome home after their big Rose Bowl victory in California.
For more than an hour, Spartan fans waited outside the football center to welcome home their boys.
"I've been at every game this season, every home game, and this is the way I know how to celebrate their wonderful victory and their arrival home," said fan Debbie Boyd.
The players appreciate the warm welcome, even in the frigid cold.
"As soon as we pull up on the bus, I'm looking around, smiling, just so happy to have this fan base come here and people appreciate what you do out there, we appreciate them as much as they appreciate us," said Linebacker Kyler Elsworth.
"This is a great crowd here and we're excited to be back home," said MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis.

Will Yelp Become the Next $10 Billion Social Media Company?
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
As investors ponder if Yelp (NYSE: YELP) is overvalued at $42, the big picture needs to be considered. The company has a market value of $2.7 billion and revenue that will only cross $200 million this year. While it might be difficult to envision it as worth $10 billion at this point, the company appears to have all the makings of a future that big.
The company is a leader in local reviews, with over 39 million reviews and 100 million monthly active users as of the end of March. It operates in over 20 countries, including most of the developed world such as the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, and France.
The sector has precedence with Facebook and LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) currently at values in excess of $20 billion, and a fellow review site TripAdvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) approaching that valuation. In addition, several others, including Groupon and Zynga, reached that valuation before faltering. Heck, even private Twitter is listed with a value of around $10 billion now. With local and mobile based advertising a valuable revenue source and Yelp controlling the local review business, what will keep it from not only reaching but eventually surpassing $10 billion?
Growth prospects
Lots of people debate whether or not Yelp provides a useful service that local business will really want to advertise on. The claim always goes that restaurants or bars won't want to advertise on a platform with negative reviews.
So far the numbers don't back up those claims. Analysts expect revenue to surge by 63% during Q2 2013 and for it to continue surging by at least 43% next year. Don't be surprised to see that growth rate increase as the company continues to beat expectations.
More importantly, analysts finally expect Yelp to be in the black next year. If that can occur on a revenue base of around $315 million, the profits should surge when revenue hits $1 billion in a few years.
The expectation that 2015 revenue will reach $500 million appears plausible. Assuming revenue continues creeping up to around $335 million for next year, Yelp would only require 50% growth in 2015 to reach that milestone. A milestone that if reached could provide a $10 billion valuation, as the examples below suggest.
LinkedIn example
LinkedIn provides one of the better examples of where Yelp could end up regarding valuation if it continues to be the local review destination. The online professional network firm reached just under $1 billion in revenue for 2012 and the stock has soared to be worth $22 billion. Even at the much higher revenue base, the company is still growing 54% and trades at nearly 15 times current year revenue expectations. That actually places LinkedIn at a higher multiple than the much smaller Yelp.
This example also highlights how Yelp is likely to reach an inflection point to where revenue growth accelerates as more users jump on board and advertisers flock to the service
TripAdvisor example
While TripAdvisor hasn't quite reached a $10 billion valuation, the travel review site is getting closer that milestone with no signs of slowing down. TripAdvisor is only skimming along with 22% revenue growth, yet it is able to maintain a 10 times current year revenue valuation. The company, though, is very profitable at nearly 30 times forward earnings expectations. Both valuation metrics appear lofty for 20% growth providing assurance that a fellow review site could maintain lofty multiples even as growth slows considerably from the current over 50% rate.
Bottom line
Anybody that has used the local reviews on Yelp to locate good restaurants realizes the power of the service. When comparing it to public examples such as LinkedIn or TripAdvisor, one quickly sees that the $10 billion valuation is not only plausible, but the stock could reach that level quicker than most think. Even private examples such as Twitter back up these expectations. In accordance, Yelp shouldn't be expected to pullback from the existing levels though investors might want to wait for one for a great entry point. Buying a stock that goes from $40 to $200 is awesome, but buying it for $30 is even better.

SANDWICH — Thomas Keyes knew there was a chance things could turn out like Geraldo Rivera's infamous 1986 search inside gangster Al Capone's vault.
Keyes, a Sandwich selectman, and more than a dozen volunteers came up empty Saturday in their search for missing gravestones in the shallow water near Old Town Cemetery, but they haven't given up.

I'm still mad at you for your lack of an article last Saturday! It was like Christmas morning, only without Santa, and without presents! Saturday is a very sad day when I can't imagine your sexy voice while you preach the doctrine of IHATEWARLOCKS.
Since you're the next best thing since they discovered cheesecake, I'm willing to forgive you, in fact I already have! Just beware the next time you decide to take a vacation on the most holy of days! I will demand justice which will be in the form of the following:
• More Warlock hate ( there wasn't enough this week).
• You are to be forced to listen to Rebecca Black's "Friday", since Justin Beiber wasn't enough.
• You must write three "Queue" columns in order to make up for missed day!
P.S. I still love you no matter what!
You are forgiven Grand Magister Of Sexy Silken Undergarments! You will not be subject to torture that is also known as Rebecca Black! I would though still beg you to consider writing one of the daily queues! You don't have to do it every week, once in a while would be enough! You don't even have to answer questions, but instead preach more of your doctrine! I'd also love it if you made a new rival with another writer (*hint* Fox Van Allen *hint*). I think it would make for more amusing times!
Also, when I hit the lottery ( oh yes, I will! ) I will be in a situation where I could commission you to write daily Arcane Brilliance columns!

Using Adobe Photoshop for Business Card Design
Photoshop (www.AdobePhotoshop.com) is a graphics editing program from Adobe. I think most people that don't use Photoshop would assume that it's for fixing red eyes in photos or creating albums. They're only partly right. Adobe Photoshop is a versatile tool and in addition to enhancing photos, you can also use Photoshop to create website designs, posters and icons. Photoshop can be used for any project that doesn't need to be scaled smaller/bigger in the future.
Using Adobe Photoshop to Create Business Cards
Photoshop can also be used to create business cards, although in a perfect world it wouldn't be the only tool you'd have for the job. I say that because Photoshop does have its limitations. You can't scale images, custom text or logos without them becoming distorted. Photoshop also lacks features that make the process of setting up business card documents or printing streamlined. Illustrator and InDesign would be better tools for these tasks.
That being said, Photoshop will get the job done on its own; quite well actually, depending on your overall needs and skill using the program. Let's explore a couple different ways you can use Photoshop to create business cards.
Business Card Templates for Photoshop
One way to make business cards using Photoshop would be to use premade templates. These are business cards that are already designed for you. All you need to do is fill in your information and add any logos or images that you may have.
If you're feeling creative, you can take these existing templates and modify them to reflect your personal style or business. You'd only be limited by your imagination and skill set.
These templates are easy to find online too. Many online print shops have them, as well as tutorial focused websites such as VandelayDesign.com. You can also check out PSDGraphics.com and GraphicRiver.net. I would only visit graphicriver.net as a last resort since you'll have to pay for the templates. This is pointless since there are so many free resources out there.
Photoshop Tutorials
Another option is to find and follow a Photoshop tutorial on how to create business cards. There is no shortage of these. A couple places I would suggest looking is PSD Tuts and SpeckyBoy.com (we also have a Photoshop business card design tutorial on our site).
I like going this route for creating business cards with Photoshop because many tutorials will have all the resources you need such as backgrounds, images, fonts, etc. And then you're given step by step instructions on how to do everything, from setting up the document to getting the finished card ready for print. Most tutorials shouldn't take you longer than an hour to complete.
If you don't want to do the tutorial, but like the design, many tutorials have the finished PSD for download. It'll be no different than downloading a template at that point. Just fill in your info and you're set.
Create Business Cards from Scratch with Photoshop
If you're skilled with Photoshop you can also create business cards from scratch. That's obvious though, right?
What might not be so obvious are all the free resources at your fingertips. I mentioned psdgraphics.com above – this is a great resource for background designs and icons, in addition to premade templates. You can also visit DaFont.com for free fonts. Using these resources will at least prevent you from having to create every component of your business card from scratch, which would take a long time. All you'll need to do is lay everything out according to your vision.
Benefits to Using Photoshop for Creating Business Cards
There are many benefits to using Photoshop for business cards. Here are a few that stand out the most to me:
- Price. Unless you need the heavy duty version of Photoshop (CS4 or CS4 Extended), you can pick up a copy for $75 to $115. The lighter version is known as "Photoshop Elements." $75 is spendy when compared to other options, but since you can use Photoshop for so many things, I'm sure you'll find a way to get your money back out of it.
- Learning curve. Photoshop may take you a couple hours to get the hang of how everything works, especially the layers aspect (that was the hardest for me). But once you get past that, Photoshop will be like an enhanced version of Paint.
- Photoshop tutorials. There is no shortage of business card tutorials for Photoshop. You can also use other tutorials to learn text effects and backgrounds, all of which can be used for your card.
- Photoshop tools. Photoshop is loaded with many tools that will help you create your cards, as well as improve how they look. You have guides and rulers for aligning your images and text. There are premade brushes that you can use for different visual effects, as well as 3rd party brushes that you can find, upload and use. And there are several premade icons and shapes (stars, octagons, arrows, signs, etc) that you can use to save time.
Overall, Photoshop is definitely a worthwhile program for creating business cards. There may be things that it cannot do well, like create (scalable) logos or custom text, but it can do them. And besides, you can always use Photoshop for 75% of your business card and outsource the other 25% to someone with the proper tools for the job. That's not too bad of an option either.

Classical Music – A New Way to Teach It
- Tuesday, February 27, 2007
One of the best strategies is to use games. Each classical music theme has two CD tracks, the first with music only and the second with music and lyrics. This format works well for "Name That Tune." Children feel good when they can identify a classical music theme and name the composer.
Add a karaoke element to the fun. If a child names the tune, let him sing a solo with the music. A microphone, real or pretend, will often change shy children into entertainers.
Children love to show adults how much they know. A mother told me that during a TV commercial her kindergarten child's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Mom, listen! That's Beethoven's Fifth." She was right.
Another mother told me that when her children watch Looney Tunes, they are continually recognizing classical music themes. She's heard, "Mom, that's Schubert's Unfinished symphony," or "That's Strauss's Blue Danube waltz."
Children will recognize classical music in malls, commercials, cartoons, cell phones, and especially in Looney Tunes. You'll be amazed when they tell you that they are hearing Mozart or Haydn or Wagner.
Beyond the Basics
Once children have learned the basic themes and are excited about classical music, it is easy to incorporate it into your curriculum.
• Read the lyrics while singing to develop the rhythm of the language and promote fluency.
• Use the lyrics to find beginning sounds and rhyming words.
• Use the lyrics to build vocabulary.
• Motivate children to read great literature and mythology, ballet and opera stories, biographies, and folktales.
History, Geography, and Cultures
• Piano (a quiet kitty) and Forte (a rather noisy little dog) appear in illustrations throughout the books. They introduce each musical period dressed in clothing of that period. The music periods can become a historical filing system for other subjects.
• Use maps to find the homelands of the composers and the setting for myths and folktales.
• Through the lyrics and lives of the composers, children learn about other cultures and countries in the world.
The Arts: Drama, Dance
• Many lyrics lend themselves to actions or mini-dramas. Encourage children to use their imaginations.
• Stories such as that of Peer Gynt in the Hall of the Mountain King are made for drama.
• Children can draw or paint as they listen to the recorded music.
• Use marionettes, nutcrackers, scarves, rhythm instruments, and flags.
• Interact with the music--dance, march, sway, or make up actions.
Music Concepts
Once you have children excited about classical music, you can teach music concepts and analyze and describe the music. This is an option for those who want their children to be more informed about music. The books define musical terms, and the teacher's guides give aid on how to teach many concepts.
The Classical Magic program includes many types of classical music--symphonies, sonatas, concertos, operas, ballets, and serenades, to name a few. It includes many stories that children can read. The books are organized by musical period, but I suggest that you select the easiest themes first. A recommended order of teaching is included in the Teacher's Guide for Volume 1 and on our website.
You may feel that you can't add anything more to your curriculum. Let classical music help you save time and have more fun. Play themes at the start of the day to improve moods. Use it as a reward after a hard session of work. Very few themes are more than one minute long. They will take very little time from a busy schedule. Sing along in the car. It makes the time fly and improves attitudes.
No previous music experience is needed to use the program. It works especially well for homeschoolers since you can play the music every day, not just on "music day."

Fair performance appraisal methods use metrics only to judge performance at regular, short intervals. Give each employee a set of deliverables and measure those deliverables by graphing them on a daily or weekly basis to show changes. In this way, he or she knows exactly what is expected and can become stable in his role. In addition, the employee's performance can be easily judged. Of course, other qualities in an employee matter besides his or her ability to deliver, but this comes first and foremost where fairness is concerned.
As a role becomes more complicated or you head toward the top of the org chart, certain complexities make the evaluation of performance more difficult. In this case, the best idea is to make a list of the deliverables as well as the "soft skills" or intangibles that the position needs. Do this without regard to the person currently in the role. Imagine what an ideal person would do and be in the role and write that into the job description as a standard to judge the person against.
As soon as you enter "soft skills" into the equation, the ability to keep bias out of your performance appraisal methods becomes compromised to a degree. Therefore, the job description should include these skills at the outset, not added after a problem arises. Be thoughtful about the skills, tasks and deliverables of the role as early as possible so that the standard is fairly set.
If you do not currently have a job description for each role in your organization that includes the main tasks, the deliverables and the soft skills for that role, then this is the first task you must take on to get your house in order. From there, develop regular performance reviews based only on metrics that occur weekly.
Then, at longer intervals, such as every six months or one year, look at the whole list of tasks, deliverables and soft skills and write a short comparison of the person to this list. Remember as you go over the comparison of the person to this list that the person is receiving a picture of himself which may or may not be flattering. Think of how you feel when you view an unflattering picture of yourself, and take this into account as you share the information. Be firm but kind in your appraisal and after reviewing any negative information, quickly give the person a list of ways to improve his or her performance. Allow him to improve the picture.
To recap how to keep bias out of your performance appraisal methods, start off with a clear-cut set of tasks, deliverables and soft skills for each position. Review the deliverables on a weekly basis with the person to judge performance regularly. This allows for no surprises at the formal performance reviews which take place yearly and contain a comparison of the person to all the tasks, deliverables and soft skills. If any negative information surfaces, give the person a development plan to help him improve the picture.

If Doug Fabrizio ever were to interview himself on RadioWest — not that he would want to, he says, because he rambles too much — he probably would ask to hear the story about the stone hearth.
When he was 10, his parents took him to a production of the perky patriotic musical "George M!" at Valley Music Hall. It was just a high-school production, but he was star-struck by the razzle-dazzle. Later, when
he got home, he noticed that the fireplace hearth, with its raised ledge and its three overhead spotlights — well, it was a kind of stage! As long as he didn't take big steps in any direction, he could put on his own "George M!" right there in the basement.
He recruited his sister and some neighborhood kids for the supporting roles and he became the leading man, as well as the director, the producer and the guy who turned the lights on and off. It was the first of many plays staged in the Fabrizios' Bountiful home.
If Doug Fabrizio ever were to interview himself — not that he would want to, because he's not very interesting, he says — the first question he would ask would go something like this: "You've said, Doug Fabrizio, that you wanted to be an actor but you chickened out. Talk about that, if you would."
Leaning forward • For as long as Fabrizio can remember, he wanted to perform. At 5, according to his mother, he came home from the doctor's office, got one of her white shirts, put it on backward and acted out the part of the nurse. He was the kid who, at 7, took a broom, wrapped some white material around the handle and pretended it was a microphone.
He acted at Viewmont High and then enrolled in theater classes at the University of Utah. But in the end, he was too afraid to go to New York City to find work as an actor. Instead, he stayed in Utah and became a radio reporter, news director and, eventually, the host of KUER's RadioWest.
It wasn't the career he intended, but Fabrizio has gained national acclaim and a loyal following. One morning during the public radio station's fall fund drive, I watched a woman volunteer swoon when he walked by. More significant, the guests on his show often describe him as one of the best interviewers in the country.
Radio visionary Jad Abumrad, co-host of WNYC's Radiolab, himself interviews people for a living. Sometimes, Abumrad says, the artifice of the interview can get in the way, because "you have your questions, and your expectations form a kind of barrier." Fabrizio is different. "He has the ability to hold the tension between being extremely prepared and being able to throw those questions out the window."
In other words, Fabrizio does that thing we all mean to do in a conversation but often don't: He listens. If the guest is in the studio, Fabrizio is leaning forward, looking him in the eyes. It's a leaning forward both physically and emotionally. "Doug is driven by an honest desire to know," Abumrad says. It's the kind of intense curiosity that other interviewers pretend to have but often can't pull off.
Yeah, Fabrizio says, but the show could always be better.
Making intimate conversations • On Tuesdays and Fridays, Fabrizio and producers Elaine Clark and Benjamin Bombard meet in his office in the Eccles Broadcast Center on the University of Utah campus to do a post-mortem on the week's shows. They're a tough crowd.
On this particular morning, Clark hands out a list of previous shows, with a letter grade next to each. There are six C+s, three B-s and one B.
"This is the European grading system," Clark explains. "No grade inflation. If we get a B, we're dancing."
"If we get a B, we put it on the refrigerator," Bombard says.
Fabrizio is his own toughest critic, reserving a B+ or the very rare A for shows in which he thinks he has actually pulled off what he sets out to do. His favorite shows are the ones they call "intimate conversations," for example the one he had in 2004 with Gene Jacobsen, a former University of Utah professor who survived World War II's Bataan Death March.
Fabrizio grades himself hard because he hates complacency. One thing he has going for him is that his lack of self-confidence means he's always afraid he won't be prepared enough.
Some mornings he gets to KUER at 4:30 to prepare for the day's show, coming up with pages of questions, looking always for moments of transformation in his guest's life or ideas. Then he searches for a narrative arc for the whole show, hoping to create movement and depth as the hour progresses.
Clark collects the praise Fabrizio's guests pour on: "He asked some of the best questions I've ever gotten," wrote Judith Shulevitz, author of The Sabbath World.
And: "That was the most enjoyable and insightful conversation I've ever had about the book," says Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run. "I wish he'd read a draft of the book before publication so I could have used some of his ideas."
Or, as Oxford historian Diarmaid MacCulloch puts it: "Doug is a prince among interviewers, clearly, as American friends had confirmed to me."
The trick is to ask detailed questions (not just "Tell us about your book" but "Tell the story about the blind zebra finch") but at the same time not to ask questions that are "conspicuously crafted as to sound clever or informed," Fabrizio says.
He mentions a painful interview with the Dalai Lama in 2001 and I cringe. When the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader came to Salt Lake that May, Fabrizio, Tribune religion reporter Peggy Fletcher Stack and I were selected to have a private interview with him.
We spent a lot of time trying to come up with intelligent questions the Dalai Lama had never been asked in his long life of answering questions. But by the time we sat down with him, late in the afternoon, he was tired, and we were trying too hard, and the interview fell flat on its face.
"We would have found out more about him if we'd asked him about how he likes to fix watches," Fabrizio says — that is, to talk to the Dalai Lama about one of his interests, something everyday and mundane, rather than big questions about big topics like world peace.
Clark and Bombard meticulously search for and screen the authors and scientists and politicians and other experts who appear on the show. They're looking for smart people who can tell good stories, who are excited about their own work and ideas, who don't talk too fast or too slow.
And even then, things might not go according to plan. One morning in November, with just a minute until airtime, Clark was still instructing Fabrizio's guests — two filmmakers who were being interviewed at a radio station in Telluride, Colo. — how to use their microphones. It was Clark's job to be the frazzled one worrying about sound quality and the clock. It was Fabrizio's job to be calm.
Acting at the microphone • There's still a part of Fabrizio that beats himself up for not trying to make a living in theater. And so he often reminds his five children to not be afraid to take risks. "It's something I hope my children will understand: that failure is a critical part of success. That you have to be able to fail spectacularly."
In recent years, though, he has tiptoed back toward acting. Plan-B Theatre Company's Jerry Rapier hired Fabrizio in the mid-2000s to act in three of the company's radio plays. "A lot of people were surprised by his performance," says Plan-B's managing director Cheryl Ann Cluff, who directed him in "Frankenstein." "They expected to hear the RadioWest Doug Fabrizio, but instead they heard and saw a fully realized, nuanced, emotionally shattering performance, totally unlike his usual on-air persona."
Indeed, Fabrizio got so into the role that every time he had to scream "He's alive! Alive! Alive!" he sweated and nearly passed out.
Next week he'll star again, this time in "Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle."
He'll play Holmes, so he's been giving a lot of thought to the clever detective. Like a good reporter, he says, Holmes paid attention. But he really only noticed the mechanics of how the world worked, not how he treated the people in it. "He didn't have the emotional capacity."
"He would have been a terrible reporter. He wasn't interested in the narrative. That's my hunch."
Not talk radio • Fabrizio has been doing radio since the cut-and-splice days. At the U., he ended up majoring in broadcasting, with minors in theater and Spanish, figuring that radio could be his backup plan. He volunteered at KUER while he was still in school, got a job there as a reporter and became news director at 29. The station once got a call from a listener wondering why it had hired a junior-high student. He points out that he doesn't have a classic radio voice.
Long a fan of public-radio storytellers like Ira Glass and Jay Allison, Fabrizio started a magazine-style show called Friday Edition; it eventually morphed into RadioWest in 2001.
Six years later, RadioWest was picked up by Sirius/SM satellite radio and aired across the country. That partnership ended three weeks ago when the network decided to focus on "national content."
"Locally produced programming is usually the loss-leader of public radio," says KUER general manager John Greene. More than 50,000 Utahns listen weekly to RadioWest, and a recent survey of the station's listeners found that they rank the show in the top handful of all NPR programs. "That almost never happens at local stations," Greene says.
Fabrizio is looking forward to a new venture called VideoWest, which KUER will launch early next year. The project will feature the works of local filmmakers, including Fabrizio, who has produced several documentaries for KUED-TV. He's excited to be telling stories in a new medium.
As for RadioWest, "It's not talk radio," says producer Clark, referring not just to the show's few on-air phone calls but also its refusal to get into shouting matches or rants, even as Fabrizio drills down to make politicians and pundits explain themselves.
"He's more than even-handed," says Paul T. Mero, president of Utah's conservative Sutherland Institute think tank, who has been interviewed a half-dozen times on RadioWest. "He doesn't have some sort of agenda; there is no political plot to what he's doing. I think he just wants to understand."
"So much in this state is tied up in your cultural beliefs," says Fabrizio, to explain his reluctance to air his own views about politics and religion, on the radio or even in an interview for the newspaper, for fear that revealing his stance would get in the way of a conversation later, on air.
If Doug Fabrizio ever were to interview himself on the radio — well, he simply wouldn't.
Another 'Sherlock'
P "Sherlock Holmes and the Blue Carbuncle," adapted as a radio play by Utah playwright Matthew Ivan Bennett for Plan-B Theatre Company. Doug Fabrizio will voice Sherlock Holmes, with Bill Allred as Watson, and Jay Perry and Jason Tatom as everyone else. The show is directed by Cheryl Ann Cluff, with foley sound effects by Mark and Eric Robinette.
When • Tuesday, 7 and 8:30 p.m.; the 7 p.m. performance will be broadcast live on KUER, 90.1FM.
Where • Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center's Jeanné Wagner Theatre, 138 W. 300 South, Salt Lake City.
Tickets • $10-$20. Call 801-355-ARTS or visit www.planbtheatre.org for more information.
Info • At press time, the only tickets available were balcony tickets for the 8:30 p.m. show.

Room for interpretation
He has seventh-degree black belts in the goju-ryu, a kind of karate that allows both hard and soft techniques, and fujitsu disciplines, and a sixth-level black belt in American kempo. Kempo is a mixture of karate and kickboxing.
Not bad for a guy who got beat up by a girl when he was 7. "I got the crap kicked out of me by a girl at school," Benavides says. "I didn't have a dad, so Mom sent me to karate school."
He had a black belt by the time he was 10 and was winning Ohio state karate tournaments at 16. "In a year I had 70 trophies. That's all I did," Benavides says.
After high school Benavides signed up for a hitch with the U.S. Marines, and after being discharged in 1992, he worked with the Guardian Angels watchdog group in Chicago.
"These guys' skills and patrols blew what I did in the Marine Corps away," Benavides says.
The Angels, men who patrol the streets of crime-ridden neighborhoods wearing red berets, helped old women with their groceries, took down the occasional crack house, and got Benavides a gun shoved in his face when he tried to break up a fight between two men.
Benavides says when he gets in situations like that, with a gun in his face and nothing but his martial arts training to help him out, the fear is not that he will get shot. "If someone doesn't shoot you in the first three seconds, they aren't going to shoot you," he says. It's that he will respond with too much force. He can break eight 2-inch concrete slabs with a single punch.
Benavides now teaches the skills he's learned to others though private instruction. His students have competed in various cage fighting tournaments and Ultimate Fighting Challenge competitions.
Benavides himself was a cage fighter and wrestler in the Mexican Triple A Wrestling organization. He wrestled as "The Sensei" – his costume was complete with mask and cape – and Benavides says that was one of his toughest gigs.
"That was a frickin' tough crowd!" Benavides says. Between fights 16-year-old boys would get in the ring and give weapons demonstrations. "If the crowd didn't like them, they would throw their beer bottles at these kids!"
Besides wrestling, Benavides competed in a number of professional fighting matches in Mexico.
"My record in pro fighting is 6-1, and that one is why I'll never do it again," Benavides says. That one loss left Benavides with a torn ACL.
Benavides thinks his trucking career perfectly complements his fighter training. He goes out for hauls and gets back in time to teach a class, or at least see his students compete on the weekends. He's a day-hauler in the Ohio area, but he wants to expand his training business.

How Can I Use Dried Hot Peppers?
Good Questions
Q: I got some lovely dried whole hot chilies for Christmas. Not something I've ever cooked with. What do you guys use dried hot peppers for?

Mix in a blender or food processor with good olive oil. It's lovely drizzled on top of pizza, pasta, or anything else you want to add a kick to.
Maybe you could make a homemade hot pepper sauce and freeze it?
Everything! Depends on what kind they are. Small ones I will usually crush and throw a little bit in tomato sauce, chili, etc. (like you would with crushed red pepper flakes.) If they're big, I will sometimes rehydrate them by pouring a little boiling water over them and letting them sit a few minutes before chopping them up. If I'm braising a pork shoulder I'll throw a couple in the pot whole (or broken in a few big pieces.)
Use in General Tso's Chicken in place of dried pepper flakes.
Throw in some vinegar to infuse. Use like a hot sauce.
Heat (gently) in some oil for hot chili oil for everything from stir-fries to soups.
i throw some in the pot when I'm making curries
You can use them to make your own chili powder for the best chili you've ever eaten. Toast for five minutes in a hot oven, puree, add to ground beef. Yum!
Depending on the pepper, I love to soak them in hot water (almost boiling) for about 20 minutes, and then puree them with my immersion blender to get a lovely hot pepper paste that can be used on practically everything.
You could use them, instead of the fresh called for, in Jamie Oliver's Cheeky Chilli-Pepper Chutney Recipe:
Just soften them by warming them in the oil. I make empanadas with a bit of that chutney, veggies, and cheese.
I recently used dried cayenne peppers to make a version of togarashi:
For marinades: If I want a light touch of heat (and this depends on the type of pepper they are, of course) crack them gently (if they were fresh it'd be a bruising) so they don't release the seeds, and throw it in whole. If I want it spicier, I'll break them up a bit.
If I'm making stock for chili, I'll throw a few into the pot while it's reducing and it takes the final product from awesome to AMAZING.
This is a great recipe for a spicy chinese style potato dish using frozen chips and dried chillis. It only recommends using 2, but if they are mild you could use quite a few. I made it for dinner last night and my partner thought it was yummy.
I have no idea if these are the right kinds of peppers for this, but you could make this (which I made for my birthday last year, and while it's a little bit of a fussy recipe, it's definitely worth it!): http://www.crumblycookie.net/2009/11/18/carne-adovada/
I make vinegary hot sauce- it's fabulous!

If you have e-mail, you've seen the photo.
A little girl and her toy duckie have been duct taped to a wall in what's become one of the most popular "redneck discipline" forwards to make its way around the interwebs.
So why did that one get a big guffaw but Corde Honea is going to jail for doing pretty much the same thing?
Honea duct taped his girlfriend's toddler to the wall, and he was charged with "intentional child abuse" for the act.
His attorney argued it was a juvenile act by the 19-year-old Honea who never meant "to traumatize the child or hurt the child," says the Journal Star.
Like the photo above, the duct tape was affixed to the child's clothing rather than the bare skin. The 22-month-old was not harmed in any other way. And it was meant as a joke.
So why wasn't it funny?
Maybe the better question is why is the photo above making so many people laugh? It always looked horrifying to me.
The child doesn't look comfortable, and as much as we joke that duct tape "fixes everything," have you ever used it to affix something to the wall ... only to have it fall down 5 minutes later? All I think when I see this photo is "that kid is hanging by a thread."
We would be horrified if a child were tied, handcuffed, or otherwise latched onto a surface from which they couldn't move. They're kids -- not criminals.
Honea is facing 36 to 60 months in jail for the abuse (plus additional time for some weapons charges) while the baby's mom, Jayla Hamm, still has to face the court for her involvement in the incident. She's expected to be given a year in prison at sentencing time.
Does their case make you rethink your initial reactions to the photo?
Image via Fugly
Yes. wow. I did laugh though. But thats sooo mean!
I'm with you, actually. I've NEVER found that picture funny. Ever.
No it's not funny...I was horrified when I saw this, I havn't been "lucky" enough to get this forward in my email so this was my first time viewing it..While I don't consider it child abuse b/c there has been no physical harm done to the child, and the child is too young really for it to cause any emotional and mental damage unless it is a repeated act, it's still wrong. I don't think Honea's sentencing is fair nor the predeicted sentencing of the baby's mom but this is America and our legal systems is crazy like that so I'm not surprised...I think some CPS checks & counsel should be sufficient enough unless there is Real abuse going on...
Not really cuz I was kinda shocked by the photo to begin with.
Duct tape is nothing like a car seat.
HAHAHAHA Sorry I had to laugh. Well I would never do that to my kids.
Acutally....if you use enough duct tape you can lift a car, for a little while anyway. Mythbusters proved it. :D
Doesn't condone using duct tape to affix a kid to the wall though.
Not at all... I didn't think it was funny to begin with. She doesn't look comfortable or happy.

James Woodard (14 points), Tim Peete (14), Pat Swilling Jr. (11), and Kauri Black (10) all contributed significantly to the victory.
Joseph Young scored 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting for Houston (12-6, 1-4), which has now lost four in a row. Danuel House added 15 points and five rebounds while TaShawn Thomas managed a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds to go with three blocks and two steals at the defensive end of the floor.
Tulsa led 40-32 at halftime after shooting 53.3 percent from the field in the first half.
In the second half the Golden Hurricane shot 48.4 percent from the floor and outscored the Cougars 47-40.
Tulsa was 12-of-25 from 3-point range while Houston was just 5-of-20. The visitors also scored 19 points off 14 Cougar turnovers.

Platts 9th Annual Steel Markets North America Conference
Corinna Petry
CHICAGO India and the Middle East represent the best prospects for future steel demand growth, according to Robert M. Miller, chief executive officer at investment bank Miller Mathis Group Inc.
"India may hold the opportunities that people used to think would develop in China," Miller said at Platts 9th Annual Steel Markets North America Conference in Chicago.
India currently produces 80 million tons of steel per year, but some experts say the market could grow to 200 million tons by 2020 thanks to a middle class of some 300 million people.
Miller acknowledged that Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal SA and Pohang, South Korea-based Posco Ltd. both failed to get the necessary approvals to build greenfield mills in the country. "India is very complicated," he said. "You can have a five-star hotel across the street from a neighborhood filled with hovels."
But even though 1 billion people still live in poverty in India, those supplying the middle class will be "looking for every kind of raw material and for the long term," Miller said
U.S. companies tend to think in the short term and are unlikely to invest in iron ore mines if they see the market as oversupplied, he said. "But long-term population growth (domestically and globally) will by necessity require infrastructure, which needs steel."
At one time, even Indian companies didnt want to invest in coal, deeming the North American product too expensive and costly to transport. But when natural gas discoveries sent U.S. coal prices down, it became economical for India to buy it.
"The amount of demand for raw materials is outstanding," Miller said, noting that Mumbai-based Tata Group alone needs 200 million tons of thermal coal annually. "I wouldnt count coal out," he said. "People still need it."
The Middle East was a "steel production backwater" until very recently, producing about 20 million of the worlds 1.5 billion tons, Miller said, but his New York-based firm has been talking with the Saudis about their plans to build seven industrial cities over the next decade. "The amount of steel needed for this will be enormous," he said.
Asset prices are down across the board and mergers and acquisitions are at an all-time low, Miller noted. "You want to buy (companies) when prices are low, if you have the wherewithal and the stomach to do it."
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

The options for the talent system going into 5.0 were:
The options for the talent system going into 5.0 were:
1) Allow characters five more points, either breaking the current system horribly and/or making it take even longer to get to the capstone talents in the tree.
2) Rejigger things so that you only get a talent point every-other level from 81-90.
2b) Gain no new talent points at all from 85 on.
3) Rebuild it to balance it for level 90 characters.
I don't really see any of the other options beating what they're apparently doing.

Category: Parenting
If you're a parent with a child in diapers and live in a multi-floor home, keep a diaper-changing "station" on each floor. For instance, we have our changing table in our son's nursery, but we also have a bag with wipes, cream, diapers, and an additional outfit in our family room so we don't have to run upstairs every single time we need to change a diaper or change a messy boy!
Instead of giving your kids an allowance just to give it to them, write a chore with a money amount next to it on ping pong balls or cards (eg. "Sweep Kitchen $0.50), and however many chores the child does, they will get the amount of money for their allowance that they earned by doing chores!
I am a single mom of a son and daughter. Meal time at the table is important. I would every so often have a candle light dinner with my two kids. I was trying to teach them the peace, appreciation and love for both of them. Since they didn't see their dad express to me in this manner I wanted to express to them. Kids learn by seeing more than teaching. I wanted to create a romantic side of them for their future wife and husband that God is to bring them. What was really neat about it was that my kids (at the time 11 and 7) made a candle light dinner for me. They made me stay in my room and darkened the windows, set the table properly and had me come out to be served. It was so awesome and a blessing.
I'm a single mom and I know siblings fight. Mine didn't fight much- they truly cared for each other. I tribute that to the love of God but, I treated them as individual human beings and not by their gender (like some parents say; well he's a boy what do you expect and vice-versa). If my kids were fighting I had them sit facing each other on the couch and they had to say something nice to each other (back and forth). They would begin laughing and say goofy things to each other. Then any time they were in time out I had them talk about the situation and how it could be solved and how not to do it again and how it made them feel. The key is one person has the floor to talk the other must listen. This taught them communication skills, respect, etc., and made them responsible for their actions. I look at people as being good but it is their actions that make them bad or good...We must be responsible for our actions which are reactions to others actions.
I have 2 children and have been a single mom since the birth of my 2nd child. When I we would travel I had the the kids pack a backpack with anything they would want to play either by themselves and/or together. And a bag with snacks to save of money. I had plastic car tables for their food and drink then later to color etc. The bag would have crayons, coloring book, drawing paper, game boy, etch a sketch, board games that are designed for the car, CD player with headphones of course, etc. It had to fit in their bag. We also would play other car games together so the family stayed a family. Pray/Play together, Stay together.
My tip for simplifying is learning to say NO to things. When my kids were little I felt like I wasn't doing enough. Not volunteering at church enough, not attending events in the community, not helping friends out. I had a lot of guilt for things I wanted to do but couldn't with two little babies. My Mother In Law gave me the BEST advice. She said "It's just not the season for you to do those things and that's okay. You are unable to do them because your kids are young but someday they will be older and you will be able to help and be more helpful than you could have been at this time. People should understand that". That was such a freeing moment, knowing that in time I could do those things and not feel guilty that I just couldn't at that moment. It has helped me also to pray before choosing what I am going to volunteer for things. My kids are now teenagers and I get so much more enjoyment in volunteering because I can put my full self into it!!
If you have little kids, keep a bunch of bendy straws in one of those plastic cases you put a toothbrush in for traveling. Kids are always trying to bend the non-bendy ones when you get something to drink, spilling when trying to drink out of a cup or bottle, or getting bored (fun toy in a pinch!). A toothbrush case of bendy straws keeps them clean, confined, and in a small enough container that they can fit in any bag easily.

Business Owners Seek Support at Capitol
CBIA's annual business day brings 300 to Hartford
Small business owners from around Connecticut came to Hartford this week – urging the Governor and the legislature not to add to their burdens. WNPR's Harriet Jones reports.
When pundits talk sometimes about Connecticut being business un-friendly, this is an example of what they mean.
"I wrote all of the senators, all the representatives, I wrote Malloy's office, I put phone calls in, I put emails in, and I have never received a single reply from anybody."
Scott Vallely lives in New Canaan, but his Charter Oak brewery is based in Massachusetts – for now. He very much wants to bring it home to the Nutmeg State, but he's not feeling the love in Hartford.
"Meanwhile, Massachusetts wants me to stay there, New York State would love to have me there -- Westchester County's literally a bike ride away from my house. And I have to look at all those opportunities."
Vallely was one of about 300 business owners and chamber executives who gathered at the Legislative Office Building, next to the gold dome of the capitol to meet their elected representatives. Governor Dannel Malloy told this crowd Mark Twain was right when he dubbed this state the land of steady habits, but...
"He did that when Hartford was one of the ten richest cities in the world. He said that when we were beating everybody."
Now not so much, in one of only two states in the country with no net job growth over the last 20 years. Malloy touted his aggressive efforts at economic development, and also talked about the need for fiscal responsibility. But the Connecticut Business and Industry Association's CEO John Rathgeber says he's looking forward to the legislature cutting back the Governor's proposed budget spending.
"We need to start growing the economy in Connecticut, growing the capacity to raise revenue in the state of Connecticut, not through increasing taxes, but through increased economic activity. And that will happen, I believe, once there's confidence we've addressed both the short term and longer term fiscal challenges."
Meanwhile there were also sharp words for legislators who came to rub shoulders with the business community. Many companies are still smarting from the introduction of paid sick leave, and Mike Nicastro of the Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce in Bristol had a simple message.
"Focus on the key needs of government - you know, infrastructure, public safety, health - those kinds of things. Get out of our business, let us run our businesses. We'll manage our employees, we'll do the right things by them, and we'll create the jobs. But if you keep putting all of this on us there's just no way we can continue to make jobs."
Nicastro and others who attended Connecticut Business Day say they'll be watching legislators closely, as the session continues.
For WNPR, I'm Harriet Jones.
