UM-Dearborn event aims to help students manage the costs of college
March 30, 2010
DEARBORN / March 30, 2010---The University of Michigan-Dearborn is committed to the success of its students and helping them manage the costs of college.
Thats why the university is hosting Financial Aid Friday events now through April 30, where admitted students and their families can schedule a 30-minute one-on-one appointment with a financial aid counselor.
In this economic environment, we are doing everything we can to let students and their families know that college still is affordable, according to Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life at UM-Dearborn.
Many families are unfamiliar with the resources that are available, and we understand how challenging it is to navigate the system, which is why we are offering more help and more advice, Henderson said. Now more than ever, a college education is the key to prosperity, and we want to help our students and their parents achieve their goals.
During the personalized meeting, students and their families will review their financial aid award and learn about the overall financial aid process, including a review of payments options and information on private scholarships.
Students must file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2010-2011 academic year before an appointment can be made. The FAFSA is completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
To schedule a Financial Aid Friday appointment, call 313-593-5300 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information, visit http://www.umd.umich.edu/finaidfriday.

Hannah Richards
"Aubergine waits patiently for his absence to be noted" – Hannah Richards has a winningly surreal sense of humour, exhibited best in her zines which combine illustration and photography, with sly little moments of genius throughout.
"Aubergine waits patiently for his absence to be noted" – Hannah Richards has a winningly surreal sense of humour, exhibited best in her zines which combine illustration and photography, with sly little moments of genius throughout.
Michael Parkin's portfolio is a wonderful mix of commissioned work interspersed with personal projects, which is exactly what you want when looking through a creative's website. His style is simple but well observed and whether he's creating a poster for Little White Lies or a series of prints relating to a trip to Denmark, Michael's work is wonderful at telling a story.
I love that moment when big brands start to recognise the immense talents of illustrators who had previously been making work primarily for themselves, and duly commission them to do exactly what they do best. Linda Linko is a prime example; since being signed to Agent Pekka the Finnish illustrator has been gathering speed as well as commissions, creating her characteristically bold artwork for a number of huge posters and magazine covers.
Lawrence Zeegen has never been one to mince his words. The illustrator, writer and dean of design at London College of Communication has recently launched his new book Fifty Years Of Illustration which he co-wrote with Grafik editor Caroline Roberts. It's an impressively ambitious undertaking with the duo condensing five decades into 1,000 images by 240 illustrators from 30 countries. Lawrence admits it's a "pretty personal selection" but one that aims to "represent the movers and shakers across each decade according to the work I believe was instrumental in shaping the discipline."
Growing up in a family of doctors, Swedish illustrator and paper-cut artist Petra Börner secured her first commission (illustrating medical journals) through her surgeon mother, which might go some way to explaining why her work is so reminiscent of botanical diagrams in biology textbooks. Petra's principle subject is the flora and fauna of the natural world, which she creates using paper cut techniques so intricate and painstakingly-detailed that they scarcely look like they could be real.
Alright, we admit it – Peter Judson has made a lot of work we've been really into this year, and he's had the props on the site to prove it. But why should we be made to contain ourselves when he keeps producing illustration of this calibre? Why, we ask you?
If, like me, you spent many an hour in your teenage years gazing absentmindedly at Larry Carlson's experimental website Medijate, you'll no doubt be similarly transfixed by The Landfill from the very talented Santtu Mustonen. Stitching together a "collection of unused sketches, leftover drawings and rejected ideas from forgotten projects" to a mesmerising soundtrack by Tuomas Alatalo, Santtu created a hypnotic animation that's a work of art in its own right.
As the man who gave form to the twisted genius of Hunter S. Thompson, British illustrator's Ralph Steadman's latest project seems like a perfect fit. Ralph has worked with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan to illustrate some limited-edition Blu-Ray covers for a special boxset of the series due out early next year.
Having just re-read Sammy Harkham's 2012 anthology of short stories Everything Together I was stupidly excited to find out he's just got himself on Tumblr and uploaded a small but growing archive of work both old and new. Included in among old covers of Kramers Ergot, book jackets for Kafka anthologies, Bonnie Prince Billy album covers and bits and pieces of rejected work are original drawings from his ongoing graphic novel (and surely future masterpiece) Blood of the Virgin, which he's also selling to fund further work on the project. I for one cannot wait to see this project massive volume finally realised. Keep at it Sammy!
This top image by New York-based illustrator Karan Singh caught my eye on purely aesthetic grounds; it was only when I delved a little deeper that I discovered the interesting story behind the work. Karan was one of several artists commissioned by Ogilvy New York to work on the IBM US Open Sessions, whereby LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy created a series of tracks based on data gathered at the tennis tournament.
I came across the work of Matthias Geisler over on Booooooom the other day and was reminded that we hadn't posted something like this in a while. Matthias' work is a swirling blend of spirits and creatures that are created with meticulous use of pencil crayons and water-colours. Is it me or are watercolours real in at the moment? All the cool kids seem to be using them.
If you're feeling a bit bleary eyed this morning, grab a cup of coffee and take a look at Goncalo Viana's beautiful illustrations to wake yourself up. Rich with colour and charming detail his work has a wonderful texture to it, as though you could reach out and actually feel the deep pigments he's used.
Before I write anything about illustrator Nicolas Delort I feel like full disclosure is necessary; between the ages of 11 and 14 I spent all of my pocket money collecting and painting Warhammer models and most of my saturdays hanging out in Games Workshop, which means I'm predisposed to LOVE epic fantasy artwork, like Frank Fazetta, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo.
It's comforting to see the resurgence in the physical aspects of music. There was a moment a few years back when gig posters and witty, well-crafted promotional material seemed to be confined solely to the world wide web, which made every poster that was actually printed on paper something of a novelty. Not any more though: we're receiving and finding so many illustrators now whose portfolios are chock full of variations on the humble gig poster and they are brilliant. Today we thought we'd champion this theme with Dutch illustration student Douwe Dijkstra. His visual interpretations of bands such as The Growlers and Losers are taking the stylistic qualities of early 1990s gig posters and infusing them with a modern style to make some seriously nick-able printed matter. Keep up the great work, Douwe!

What is primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)?
PSC is a disease that damages and blocks bile ducts inside and outside the liver. Bile is a liquid made in the liver. Bile ducts are tubes that carry bile out of the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. In the intestine, bile helps break down fat in food.
In PSC, inflammation of the bile ducts leads to scar formation and narrowing of the ducts over time. As scarring increases, the ducts become blocked. As a result, bile builds up in the liver and damages liver cells. Eventually, scar tissue can spread throughout the liver, causing cirrhosis and liver failure.
What causes PSC?
The causes of PSC are not known. Genes, immune system problems, bacteria, and viruses may play roles in the development of the disease.
PSC is linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About three out of four people with PSC have a type of IBD called ulcerative colitis. The link between PSC and IBD is not yet understood.
Who gets PSC?
Most people with PSC are adults but the disease also occurs in children. The average age at diagnosis is 40. PSC is more common in men than women. Having family members with PSC may increase a person's risk for developing PSC.
What are the symptoms of PSC?
The main symptoms of PSC are itching, fatigue, and yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes. An infection in the bile ducts can cause chills and fever. PSC progresses slowly, so a person can have the disease for years before symptoms develop.
What are the complications of PSC?
PSC can lead to various complications, including
- deficiencies of vitamins A, D, E, and K
- infections of the bile ducts
- cirrhosis—extensive scarring of the liver
- liver failure
- bile duct cancer
How is PSC diagnosed?
Blood tests to check levels of liver enzymes are the first step in diagnosing PSC. Doctors confirm the diagnosis using cholangiography, which provides pictures of the bile ducts.
Cholangiography can be performed in the following ways:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). ERCP uses an endoscope—a long, flexible, lighted tube—that goes down the mouth, beyond the stomach, and into the duodenum to reach an area in the digestive tract where dye can be injected into the bile ducts. X rays are taken when the dye is injected. ERCP also can be used to take a tissue sample or to treat blocked ducts. More information about ERCP is in the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse's fact sheet ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), available at www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov or by calling 1–800–891–5389.
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. This procedure involves inserting a needle through the skin and placing a thin tube into a duct in the liver. Dye is injected through the tube and x rays are taken.
Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). MRCP uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain pictures of the bile ducts. MRI machines use radio waves and magnets to scan internal organs and tissues. MRCP does not involve using x rays or inserting instruments into the body. This safe and painless test is increasingly used for diagnosis.
Other testing may include ultrasound exams and a liver biopsy. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of organs inside the body. A biopsy involves removal of a small piece of tissue for examination with a microscope.
How is PSC treated?
Although researchers have studied many treatments, none has been shown to cure or slow the progress of PSC. Treatment of PSC aims to relieve symptoms and manage complications. Medical treatment may include various medications to relieve itching, antibiotics to treat infections, and vitamin supplements. Instruments passed through an endoscope during ERCP can help open blocked bile ducts.
Liver transplantation may be an option if the liver begins to fail.
Points to Remember
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) inflames, scars, and blocks bile ducts inside and outside the liver.
- When bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver and damages liver cells.
- PSC can lead to vitamin deficiencies, infections, bile duct cancer, cirrhosis, liver failure, and the need for a liver transplant.
- The cause of PSC is not known.
- Many people with PSC also have ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.
- Treatment includes medications to treat symptoms and complications of PSC.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases conducts and supports research related to digestive diseases, including PSC. A complete listing of clinical research studies, including those related to PSC, can be found at www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the JVC KS-U49 iPod® Audio/Video Cable by Zak Billmeier Why would I need an iPod® adapter? An iPod adapter allows you to connect your iPod to your car stereo, then access your playlists with your stereo's controls - a great idea for several reasons. One, you can scroll through your song titles on your stereo's larger display, instead of squinting down at your iPod. Two, you can route the adapter cable to your glove compartment or center console, so your iPod stays safely out of sight. Three, the iPod adapter keeps your iPod fully charged, so it's ready to rock when you leave your car. And last of all, some adapters bypass your iPod's internal digital-to-analog converter, using your stereo's superior DAC to turn your files back into music. Take full advantage of the latest iPod technology in your car. JVC's KS-U49 iPod audio/video cable allows you to connect your iPod or iPhone directly to your compatible JVC receiver for high-speed audio and video transfer, while allowing you to surf through your iPod's songs and categories using your receiver's controls. Once connected, you'll also be able to view your iPod's album art on your receiver's display, as well as watch video content when you're parked. See "Details" for compatible receivers and iPods.

Pros: High quality cable and connectors Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Does this part work with iphone 5s? How do i connect it to the already installed head unit? [ Joel Jan 22, 2014 ] 10 answers Joel, I bought an iPhone 4S without a phone number on an online auction site and left it plugged in the car. There is an adapter that will mate the 8 pin lightning connector on the iPhone 5S to the 30 pin connector. Be sure to buy it from Apple because they put some kind of chip in it. The cheap ones you see on auction sites don't workSean [ Wm Sean Jan 24, 2014 ] Assuming that you have a JVC head unit (I have the KW-NT510 HD), the only way most likely would be having to pull the already installed head unit to plug the USB ports and also to plug in the jack on the back of the head unit. Then, you would need to purchase a "30 pin to lighting plug" adaptor that Crutchfield also has for sale. I bought the adaptor for when I upgrade my iPhone to the next generation iPhone and should work with the 5s. [ ROGER T Jan 24, 2014 ] Sorry, not compatible with 5S which uses the new lightning connector. [ John Jan 23, 2014 ] Not sure, I don't have an iPhone. I thought that it connected to the USB on the front of a receiver and the small plug goes into the video input of the receiver but I can't confirm. [ Donald Jan 23, 2014 ] I haven't tried with iphone5 but works great with 4s. To install You have to remove the head unit and there is a input for the plug in the back that looks like a headphone jack - just plug in the yellow end of the chord and you are ready to go [ DONALD Jan 23, 2014 ] Hey Joel, This particular one fits the 4& 4s, the phone jack is different for the 5. There is a hard USB line & in the rear of the deck there is also an Ipod video plug (yellow). Plug the USB port into the hard line and then the video in to the video input. You will need to remove the deck from the dash : ( Hope this helps Kevin Q O)< [ KEVIN Jan 23, 2014 ] This is a standard ipod connector and will not directly mate with the smaller iphone5 connector. I have not looked, but I am sure there are adapters available to convert from the older style to the newer iphone style connector, if you want to go that way. The usb end connects with the generic usb socket on the radio unit, usually located on the back. The yellow video connector is optional and allows video from the ipod to be displayed on the GPS screen of compatible JVC units (and perhaps others) and this socket if it exists is definity on the back of the radio unit. [ BRIAN Jan 23, 2014 ] This will work with the iphone 5s only if the iphone has the exact same connection as an ipod, so make sure this is the case before you purchase (you can call the apple store and find out). If it does fit, you will have to reach to the back of the unit to connect it, so if there is no access you will need to remove the unit in order to get to the back. [ Astra Khan Jan 23, 2014 ] I haven't tested it yet with the iPhone 5. Since this cable has the 30-pin connector, you'll need to purchase the adaptor so the cable can connect to the iPhone. I have a Classic iPod, so this isn't a concern. Good luck! [ Philip Jan 23, 2014 ] It may but you will need the lightning adapter that Apple sells and you will need plug it in to the back of your head unit.

Anna Netrebko ‒ Biography
It is rare for an artist to break through the boundaries of classical music stardom and gain wide recognition as an authentic operatic diva, but Anna Netrebko has achieved that and more. In the mere decade of her recording career she has not only seduced the classical world with the beauty of her voice, her superb vocal control and supreme musicality; she has also become an iconic figure. Anna Netrebko is not just a grand diva but a woman with personality and charisma whose vivacious style and dazzling stage presence receive as much attention as her musical artistry.
Netrebko first started pulses racing with a triumphant Salzburg Festival debut in 2002 as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni, and has since performed with nearly all the world's great opera companies.
Major venues have played host to some of her greatest triumphs. In New York she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 2002 and has since returned every season to perform all her signature roles. In 2011, she opened the Metropolitan Opera season to rave reviews as Donizetti's tragic Anna Bolena. In her second consecutive season opening in 2012 she was irresistible as Adina in Donizetti's comic gem, L'elisir d'amore. 2013 sees her third consecutive season opening when she returns to New York as Tatyana in Eugene Onegin ‒ proving her unique status as "diva assoluta" of the Metropolitan Opera. Her New York performances have been seen by audiences around the world as part of the Met's "Live in HD" cinecasts.
In Vienna ‒ her home since applying for Austrian citizenship ‒ she first sang the title role of Anna Bolena at the Vienna State Opera, a performance that has been captured on DVD. She gave her role debut as Tatyana in 2013. In 2011 she made her company debut at La Scala in Milan singing Donna Anna in Don Giovanni. In 2012 her memorable Mimě in La bohčme won praise from critics and audiences alike.
Her worldwide appeal is apparent in her busy schedule. In coming months she is singing in Britten's War Requiem at the Mariinsky Theatre and at the Salzburg Festival, making her role debut as Verdi's heroine Giovanna d'Arco at the Salzburg Festival, singing her first Marguerite in Gounod's Faust at the Royal Opera House, followed by the Vienna State Opera and Baden-Baden, and making her role debut as Lady Macbeth in Verdi's masterpiece at the Bavarian State Opera.
To have come so far in little over ten years is remarkable, and Deutsche Grammophon has been with her every step of the way. On her journey Netrebko has sold more than 3.8 million recordings on the Yellow Label and in August 2013 she releases her first solo studio album in over five years. A decade after the award-winning Opera Arias, which launched her stellar recording career, she reunites with conductor Gianandrea Noseda, a renowned Verdi specialist, to continue this extraordinary musical journey, offering the definitive soprano album of Giuseppe Verdi's anniversary year.
Already hailed as one of the most anticipated classical albums of 2013, the release features a sumptuous all-Verdi programme as a birthday tribute to the master of Italian grand opera. Accompanied by the Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino, Netrebko brings her passionate intensity to selections from Il trovatore, Macbeth, I vespri siciliani, Don Carlo, Giovanna d'Arco, Otello and La forza del destino.
Netrebko's extensive discography includes bestselling solo albums ‒ Sempre Libera, Russian Album, Souvenirs, In the Still of Night, and Anna Netrebko: Live at the Metropolitan Opera ‒ and many operas, including La traviata, Le nozze di Figaro, La bohčme, and I Capuleti e i Montecchi. Highlights from her videography include DVD or Blu-ray discs of La traviata, Le nozze di Figaro, I puritani, Manon, Lucia di Lammermoor, Don Pasquale, and Anna Bolena; plus a DVD of music videos, titled Anna Netrebko: The Woman, The Voice. Her CD Duets, with tenor Rolando Villazón, set a record for the best European debut ever for a classical album, climbing to the top of the pop charts in several countries.
Among the honours and awards of Anna Netrebko's meteoric career are Grammy nominations for her recordings Violetta and Russian Album; Musical America's 2008 "Musician of the Year"; Germany's prestigious Bambi Award; the UK's Classic BRIT Awards for "Singer of the Year" and "Female Artist of the Year"; and nine German ECHO Klassik awards. In 2005, President Vladimir Putin awarded her the Russian State Prize, the country's highest award in the field of arts and literature; in 2008 he gave her the title "People's Artist of Russia".
Anna Netrebko was born in 1971 in Krasnodar, Russia, and studied vocal performance at the St Petersburg Conservatory. She auditioned for the Mariinsky Theatre, where she was spotted by Valery Gergiev, who became her vocal mentor. She made her operatic stage debut at the Mariinsky, aged 22, singing Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro. One year later she made her American debut at the San Francisco Opera. In 2002 she gave her first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera and her breakthrough performance at the Salzburg Festival.
The following ten years saw a remarkable story of successive artistic triumphs around the world. In 2008 she gave birth to a baby boy. Motherhood reinforced her strong empathy for children, which was already an integral facet of Netrebko's character, and resulted in her becoming an ambassador for SOS Childrens Villages and finally setting up a charitable foundation for children in need in 2012.
In 2014 she is scheduled to perform at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, further widening the reach of a classical singer whose musicality is second to none but who also has mass appeal as a truly rounded character; a woman of the world. Her variety of interests all contribute to her musical artistry and provide insight into Netebko's ability to immerse herself so deeply in a role, whether tragic or comic. It is easy to see why Gramophone declaimed: ". . . when I hear Anna Netrebko sing, live, I don't want her to stop . . . Remember the days of rapturous standing ovations, when the sound of a singer's voice would really drive people wild? That's the kind of voice Netrebko has . . . She is also a stage animal . . . she is fuelled by sheer talent and instinct . . . I'd take Netrebko over anyone out there, any time."

A Chinese silk embroidery hangs above a settee in the entry, where a new marble-and-granite floor wraps into the conservatory and sunroom.
This sunny space off the living room practically cues up a pitcher of fresh lemonade on a hot Texas day. Lit from grand windows on two sides, it is the perfect spot to admire the gardens outside.
The dining room's George III mahogany china cupboard displays Dana's Chinese porcelain collection. Curtains are blue silk from Bauer Design & Drapery. The deGournay wallpaper's palette is derived from the Fortuny fabric on the custom chairs.
In a corner of the dining room, an ebony desk holds Dana's treasures from the ocean. "We love our time on the beach and wanted to capture that experience in our home," she says. "The artwork consists mostly of seascapes."
Built-in shelves and a window seat set a cozy stage in the library, accented by a colorful "Tree of Life" fabric from Lee Jofa at the windows. Clarence House's "Velour Irelande" is on the window-seat cushion.
In the sunroom, a Jansen Regency-style table, circa 1940, is teamed with vintage faux bamboo chairs with cushions in a Nancy Corzine fabric.
"The boys eat a lot of their meals at the bar," says Dana, but a table with modern metal Windsor-style chairs near the island is also available for everyday family dining. The sunroom is visible through the doorway.
Damask from Coraggio Textiles covers the headboard and windows in the master bedroom. A vintage Georgian-style secretary and a Niermann Weeks dresser topped with a Mecox Gardens mirror flank the custom bed. A Kisabeth tufted-back settee is covered in fawn velvet. One of a pair, the Regency period cane-back chair features chinoiserie on the frame.
The blue-and-sand palette continues with a striped fauteil and a floor designed with Waterworks tile. More of Dana's seashell collection is displayed on shelves. Wool crepe sheer café curtains are from Coraggio. The nickel lantern is from McLean.
For William and Andrew, the two older Porter boys, Donghia's "Krazy Quilt" pattern is used for coverlets. The windows and duvet covers sport a map-motif fabric from Travers.
Appropriate for David, the Porters' youngest son, a Cowtan & Tout animal fabric featuring giraffes canopies the bed and shades the window. A mustard leather saddle bench by Edward Ferrell is parked at the foot of the bed. "Wool Trensa" carpet in dark brown is from Patterson Flynn and Martin.
The Porters' 1920s-era hilltop home is in a neighborhood of architectural gems.
The exterior of the house allows for ample outdoor gathering spaces. Lush greenery isn't so dense that it blocks out the natural light that streams in through the home's many windows.
The Porter family in the library: Andrew; William; Dana and David; and young David.

JC Penney's bold overhaul, driven by CEO and former Apple and Target exec Ron Johnson, has been polarizing, spurring equal parts support and criticism. "They had to do something," many have said of the retailer's move to abandon sales and coupons in favor of "fair and square" low prices, which were coupled with fun new advertising with clean lines reminiscent of Target's (president and former Target CMO Michael Francis' influence at work, no doubt), a new logo with streamlined name, redesigned stores and a refreshing–if controversial–spokesperson in Ellen DeGeneres.
Like others, I'm interested to see how things shake out. And I'm rooting for the company. I don't like to see American icons disintegrate.
But it may, if a recent experience at the store is any indication.
We were shopping for a couch. President's Day weekend, so my husband and I figured we could get some good deals. Stores to hit: Einstein Moomjy (for its going-out-of-business sale), Macy's, JC Penney. And maybe Ashley Furniture HomeStore. We'd bought our daughter's bedroom furniture from JC Penney's web site recently, before the changes–it was deeply discounted–and were very pleased with the quality of the construction and the delivery and set-up service. So we were hopeful in including the store in our hunt.
JC Penney had a small, but nice, furniture selection. We came upon a slipcovered sofa, on display–sort of; it wasn't in any sort of living-room arrangement–in a neutral stone color. The companion oversize chair was nearby, but not exactly grouped with the couch. No matter: The couch was the right size and style. The best thing, for sure, was the price: a flat $900. It was the lowest price of any other store. True to promise, there was no ".99″ after the price on this couch. Nor on any of the other price tags.
So we were doing our browsing, our practice-sitting, our imagining what the piece would look like in our family room–for a good five minutes. Alone. Then, finally, along comes ambling a gentleman, I'm guessing in his 60s, a little stout, neatly dressed in a gray suit and tie, nametag with new JCP logo affixed to lapel. "How are you today?" he said in a too-loud voice, after a beat, after an almost obvious, concerted effort to muster enthusiasm, as he walked toward us. "That's a nice couch."
"Yeah, we like it," I said. "Do the covers come off for washing?"
"They do," he said, slowly, nodding. "Fully machine washable. Or you can have them dry-cleaned. It's good construction; fully made in the United States." I think he said West Virginia and not North Carolina.
And then he faded. He sat down on a nearby ottoman. He looked tired. But it wasn't that: He looked deflated. And then I got it: He had no game. No dog in this fight. No strings to pull.
Here was a guy–I'll call him Paul–who I would guess has been a furniture salesman for 20 years. Or more. Always paid on commission, always motivated by pleasing people, helping them get deals–or at least walk away feeling like they did. Not anymore.
"Are there any coupons?" I asked, not to catch him, but, as a prospective expensive couch-purchaser, just to be sure I wasn't missing anything.
"Nope," he said. "That's the way it is now. Across the whole company," he said, almost sadly, like he was bemoaning the loss of a beloved pet. Liked he wished things were different. "The whole company's doing it. No coupons, no sales. Everything just has a low price."
And that was that. We were good with the price. We wanted something that would last, too. I'm sure it was a good-quality couch, but he could have done more to convince us of that.
Now I don't know this guy's story–maybe he was just having a bad day, or maybe he did really just lose a beloved pet–but at that moment, he was the JC Penney brand incarnate to me. And he had to work it. But I'm not putting all the blame on Paul. We've heard it before and I'll say it again, this time from direct experience: Do everything possible to enlist your employees in your new marketing efforts. I've read stories that mention in passing that store associates seem inspired and attentive post-change. But this is a classic example of how critical internal marketing is, how necessary it is to rally the troops–all of them. Leave no stone and no Paul unturned.
And it's more than that, in the case of JC Penney. For all the talk of how the new strategy is going to hit consumers, how quickly they'll warm to the new pricing strategy, I'd argue there is as much at stake and as many questions along those lines as applied to sales associates like Paul. With reported carte blanche, Johnson has already moved mountains to upend the way things were at the century-old retailer. This isn't a mountain to marginalize.
You don't need to fire Paul–Paul has experience and company allegiance that's priceless and that you can't replicate by hiring a 20-something who may be bubbly but has no aspirations of building a long-term career out of working in furniture sales at JC Penney. But get Paul fired up. Teach him the new rules of the game, but more than that, tell him how to win and why. And why the future of the company–and Ron Johnson's strategy for growth–depends on his presence, knowledge and, yes, enthusiasm on the sales floor. For more than just a couch.

We know that everything can be reduced to short sentences. We also know that much of what we hear repeated is not necessarily true.
Lurk on Facebook or watch your tweets, and you quickly learn than balderdash can come in any length.
For example, it was common knowledge a couple of decades ago that a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush. My mother said so.
But today I know that a bird in the hand is not only messy, but that they really belong in the bush.
Ben Franklin might have started this whole bird-in-the-hand thing when he wrote "Poor Richard's Almanac." He reduced insight to brief adages.
A penny saved might have been a penny earned in his day, but a penny is irrelevant today. We might change it to a dollar saved is a dollar earned, but then a dollar is not what is once was, either.
The maxim that seemed to make the most sense was, "Honesty is the best policy." Truth-telling is a virtue, but we soon learn that veracity is not always the best way to deal with others. While it seems good, it can turn on you. Many people pretend that they want candor when, in fact, they prefer their illusions.
When I ask someone, "What did you think of my column?" I really do not want to know. What is required is a complement and affirmation.
Any sailor knows the old saw that red skies in the morning mean a storm and red skies at night mean fair weather. In the Pacific Northwest, you can believe that a red sky at night means it is clear for a picnic, but bring your umbrella, anyway.
My mother had an epigram for any situation. She used them, in love, to impart caveats and consecrations.
For her, life was simple. Do good to others. Do your chores. Keep the rules and you can go out with your friends on Friday night.
Those of us with moms and dads who tossed proverbs at us learned early on that just because something is said over and over again does not make it true. If that were a fact, then we might believe most of the hokum that appears on Facebook.
People forward so many things that people with sense can typically tell they are deceptions.
If people would take a moment, they would not have to look things up on Factcheck.org or Snopes.com.
But, you never know.
"Like" this column by giving it a thumbs up, and you will win a new Cadillac.
A sucker is born every minute.

Review: Robert Hood Eleven EP
Techno veteran Robert Hood has had something of a banner year, releasing two singles from his Motor: Nighttime World 3 album, dropping several ace remixes, and, most notably, issuing the acclaimed Paradise LP and follow-up Phobia EP under his more soulful, house-oriented Floorplan moniker. Even after all of this activity, Hood has managed to slip in one final 2013 release via his own M-Plant imprint. The Eleven EP is almost diametrically opposed to his two most recent, aforementioned full-lengths; where Paradise was geared towards the dancefloor and indebted to the sonic tics of classic house and techno and Motor: Nighttime World 3 was thick with rich, neo-noir atmosphere, Hood's new EP serves up two tracks committed to austere, bare-bones functionality.

Bio and Links
I'm a cemetery walker and a genealogy newbie. I'm originally from St. Clair, MI, and I've been interested in my own ancestry since my mother took me on cemetery walks as a little girl, pointing out this relative and that one and instilling in me a passion for remembering and documenting the past and all those who shaped it. After visiting the F.A.G. website and taking several virtual strolls through the online cemetery I've come to realize that everyone deserves a remembrance. Whether they've come from humble beginnings and lived hard, frugal lives or been blessed with comfort and wealth, whether they've lived long storied lives or short, seemingly insignificant lives, everyone has a story. The people remembered on this website are woven into the fabric of our collective existence, they've created our pasts, molded our futures, and they're the backbones of our families. Each and every one has known and shown love, happiness, heartache, and pain, and their lives all had meaning and purpose. I will do my best to honor their memory, and I'm grateful to all of you who contribute and do your part to keep the memories alive. We owe it to those who have passed before us to document their existence for those who come after us, so that they may know from whom and from where they came.

I just wanted to take this moment to thank you so very much for the lovely message you left on my Mother's memorial. In the depths of my broken heart I am truly grateful for the way she had passed in my arms and the fact she was with me, but I am still the baby who misses her mommy so very much and am so lost without her.

You sent a lovely message,
My dad omitted me from his will,3 days prior to his dying. His wife and my sister will share. I guess it seems fitting since they divided his ashes)
My mom would be very upset at him and my sister.
I will never understand what I could have done. However I have memories, and you cant take those away.
I just don't understand how someone could be so hurtful. He never even wrote me a letter.
