The Cincinnati Bengals offensive line entered the 2013 season as one of the best units in the entire NFL, and through two weeks, they've done nothing to dispute that notion.
Against what's still a very respectable Pittsburgh defense, the Bengals offensive line held it's own against Dick LeBeu's best blitz schemes. Not only did the not allow a sack, but rarely even allowed Dalton to get knocked down.
They also did yeoman's work in maintaining their blocks and establishing a solid ground game, a rare happening against the Steelers.
If you recall, the Bengals rushed for a combined 94 yards in two games vs the Steelers last year.
Monday night, BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed 22 times for 75 yards Giovani Bernard rushed eight times for 38 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals finished with 127 yards on the ground.

Board Service 101
Submitted by yafli admin on Sat, 01/14/2012 - 9:28pm
At this event, we will consider the call to service on a board, what it means, how you get there, what it means to be invited in, what it means to not wait for an invitation.
We will consider first-hand experiences from several Quaker boards that challenge your leadership and discernment skills and connect with some of the real challenges of being a Quaker in today's world.
This event is also a chance for you to connect with other Quakers hearing a similar call and learn more about the Quaker organizations that are seeking young adults to play a role in their governance today.
This event is free, and parts will be live-streamed for anyone outside the Philadelphia area.

10.6: Burning the Preferences folder
Of course that would certainly work, but can be much more time consuming than the OP's method. Depending on the size of your preferences folder (which can be quite large after years of upgrade and installs with lots of apps), copying could take a minute or two, while hitting Cmd-I on the offending file (which can be marked/quickly found by several means, including color-labeling it, giving it a special Spotlight comment, etc) takes a mere seconds.
10.6: Burning the Preferences folder
Bah. Make an archive and stuff it on a USB stick.

Temple Run sprints into traditional games
Toyco Spin Master Games has partnered with Washington, D.C.-based indie mobile games studio Imangi Studios to produce traditional games based on the hit adventure app Temple Run.

The app, which is targeted to kids ages nine and up and is available for iOS and Android devices, features a hero who, after collecting treasure, has to navigate his way through a dizzying array of booby traps to get out alive.
Since its debut in August 2011, the app has been downloaded more than 60 million times and was recently named as one of Time magazine's top 30 apps to download.
Check out the summer edition iKids Digital! We've got the scoop on app market consolidation, how technology is changing the Maker Movement and where to find some of the most innovative startups in North America.

White privilege, the new girl in yoga class, and the intersections of fat discrimination
By Sesali Bowen | Published: January 29, 2014
Tweet When I first read Jen Caron's piece about the fat black woman in her yoga class, I cracked up. Perhaps I've been desensitized to white people finding issue with black people when they share spaces that they subconsciously accept to be for whites only–6 years at predominantly white universities will do that to you.

The Celebrity Weight Debate: Do Jennifer Hudson, Jonah Hill, Christina Ricci Look Better Bigger? (VIDEO)
Diets are all the rage around Tinseltown.
Celebrities are dropping weight left and right with one new fad after another -- including Jersey Shore's star Snooki (prior to getting pregnant) and American Idol winner Jennifer Hudson.
But does thinner alway mean hotter?
Celebs such as Entourage funny guy, Jerry Ferrara, went from chubby to cutie.
Shedding the pounds off of his 32-year-old frame definitely improved his look -- yet he did have a hot girlfriend even when he was a little plumper -- Entourage's brunette beauty Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 31.
Writer and 21 Jump Street actor Jonah Hill is another comedian to slim down.
But Celebuzz isn't sure if Hollywood can handle Jonah as a thin man. It may have ruined his appeal as the "cuddly funnyman."
Are these celebrities better off curvy or thin? Watch the video and leave a comment below with your thoughts.

2014 Outstanding Kansas Citian
Kansas Citians set aside time each evening and turn to their television to learn what has made history that day in their hometown and the world. And for more than 40 years, Larry Moore was the anchor many in Kansas City turned to for that news.
Larry brought into our homes the news stories that have been a major part of Kansas City's history. For many of us, Larry's news broadcasts helped us grasp an understanding of major news items for the past 4 decades: the Plaza flood in 1977, the Coates House fire in 1978, the Hyatt skywalk disaster, the Republican National Convention in Kansas City, the plane crashes that took the lives of Representative Jerry Litton and Governor Mel Carnahan, the massive flood of 1993, the Chiefs' Super Bowl Championship and the Royals' World Series Championship.

Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association
The Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association (GKCRA) was established in 1916 when three visionary restaurateurs, Myron Green, George Fowler, and Guy Taylor began meeting in the basement of Myron Green's Cafeteria at 1115 Walnut. Their efforts received national attention and in 1919, the group launched the National Restaurant Association (NRA).
The NRA headquarters remained in Kansas City until 1926 when it moved to Chicago where it remained until moving to Washington, D.C.
The GKCRA remains one of the strongest chapters of the NRA, serving the needs of the area's hospitality industry in parts of Missouri and Kansas. Dedicated to the financial well-being of Kansas City and the promotion of all businesses in our region, the GKCRA joined the city's effort to initiate convention and tourism funding in 1974. Original construction and continued maintenance of Bartle Hall and other tourism and neighborhood development projects are solely funded by patrons of the restaurant and hotel industries.

MONDAY, Dec. 5 (HealthDay News) -- About one in three children
with asthma is currently using a preventive medication, according
to new research. That number is up from about 18 percent of kids
during the late 1980s.
Preventive asthma medications help control the airway disease
before symptoms flare up, and guidelines from the U.S. National
Asthma Education and Prevention Program recommend their use.
"The main finding from our study was that over 20 years, the use of medicines to prevent asthma has increased among children with asthma," said the study's lead author, Dr. Brian Kit, a medical epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.
Commenting on the study, Dr. Shean Aujla, a pediatric
pulmonologist at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, said, "I
think it's encouraging that there's been an increase in the use of
preventive medications, but it's still only about one-third of kids
with asthma using these drugs. I still think there's underdiagnosis
and undertreatment of asthma."
Results of the study were released online Dec. 5, and will be
published in the January 2012 issue of
Preventive medications for asthma include inhaled
corticosteroids, such as Pulmicort (budesonide) and Flovent
(fluticasone); leukotriene-receptor antagonists, such as Singulair
and Accolate; long-acting beta agonists, such as Serevent and
Foradil; mast-cell stabilizers, such as Intal; and methylxanthines,
such as Theo-Dur, according to the study.
Not everyone with asthma needs to take a daily preventive
medication, Aujla noted. For example, youngsters with
exercise-induced asthma often don't need to take a medication every
day, just when they might have symptoms. But, many children with
asthma can benefit from daily preventive medications, she said.
For the study, Kit and his colleagues used data from the U.S.
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They used
information collected during three time periods: 1988 to 1994, 1999
to 2002 and 2005 to 2008.
The survey included data from nearly 2,500 children from across
the United States, who were between the ages of 1 and 19 years. All
of these children reported having asthma currently.
During 1988 to 1994, about 18 percent of children and teens with
asthma used a preventive medication. By 1999 to 2002, that number
had risen to 21 percent, and by 2005 to 2008, nearly 35 percent of
children and teens were using a preventive asthma medication.
The researchers found that preteens and teenagers had the lowest
use of preventive medications. In 2005 to 2008, about 43 percent of
kids between the ages of 1 and 5 years old used preventive drugs.
In kids from 6 to 11 years old, about 45 percent used a preventive
medication. But, in 12 to 19 year olds, the use of preventive
medication dropped to less than 25 percent.
"Teens may be 'under-perceivers.' They may have severe asthma, but if they can still do activities, they may not report it. And, while families may think their teen is responsible enough to take care of their medications, they're often not," Aujla said.
She said she tells the parents of her patients to be sure they
watch their teen taking his or her preventive medications to be
sure it's getting done. She added that it's especially important to
do this even in times of good control, because that's often when
kids may get more lax about using their medications.
Kit's study also found that black children and Mexican American
children were significantly less likely to use preventive
medications for asthma, as were uninsured people.
Aujla said part of it may be the cost of these medications, or
it could be a lack of access to health care. She also said that
trust may be an issue in the minority population. And, that's
especially concerning because blacks have higher rates of asthma,
have more severe asthma and are more likely to die from asthma, she
Kit said the take-away message from this study is that parents
should discuss their child's asthma symptoms with their child's
doctor to make sure he or she is on the right medication.

Community Benefit Agreements: New Vehicle for Investment in America's Neighborhoods
A Community Benefit Agreement (CBA) is a legally enforceable contract negotiated and executed directly between the developer and a community coalition of neighborhood associations, faith-based organizations, unions, environmental groups, and others representing the interests of people who will be impacted by proposed new developments. The community obtains important benefits, and in return, developers receive crucial public support for the project through the community coalition's testimony before land use planning and economic development agencies, city councils, and bond financing entities.
Using City Government to Build Community Wealth
While the two major party presidential candidates had many differences, both agreed on the primacy of free enterprise. Mitt Romney in his speech six weeks ago to the Clinton Global Initiative said, "Free enterprise has done more to bless humanity than any other economic system." For his part, President Obama, remarked in his closing statement at the second presidential debate, "I believe that the free enterprise system is the greatest engine of prosperity the world's ever known."
One minor problem: free enterprise does not exist.
The term "free enterprise" was largely a creation of the National Association of Manufacturers in the 1930s. As historian Lawrence Glickman explains, the Great Depression of the 1930s made the term "capitalism" not so popular; free enterprise sounded better.
America Has a Stadium Problem
If it were its own country, Chester, Pennsylvania's per capita income would rank between Turkey and Dominica. On average, its residents are poorer than those of Uruguay, Lebanon, and Antigua and Barbuda. The city has been part of a program for economically distressed communities since 1995. And in 2010, PPL Park, a $117 million soccer stadium, was opened in Chester's southwest corner, overlooking the Delaware River. With 97 percent of funding coming from the public, that's $3,334.90 for every man, woman, and child in Chester.
Over the past 20 years, 101 new sports facilities have opened in the United States—a 90-percent replacement rate—and almost all of them have received direct public funding. The typical justification for a large public investment to build a stadium for an already-wealthy sports owner has to do with creating jobs or growing the local economy, which sound good to the median voter. "If I had to sum up the typical [public] perspective," Neil deMause, co-author of Field of Schemes and editor of the blog by the same title—the go-tos on the ongoing stadium subsidy story—told me via email, "I'd guess it'd be something along the lines of 'I don't want my tax money going to rich fat cats, but anything that creates jobs is good, and man that Jeffrey Loria sure is a jerk, huh?'" This confused mindset has resulted in public coffers getting raided. The question is whether taxpayers have gotten anything in return.
Community Owned Sports Teams - Examples
Examples and history from a handful of community owned sports teams including information on Appleton, WI, Timber Rattlers, Green Bay Packers, Harrisburg Senators, Memphis Redbirds, Rochester, NY, Red Barons, Syracuse, NY, Sky Chiefs and the Toledo Mud Hens.
The Green Bay Packer Model: Community-Owned Teams
In addition to being an active form of recreation for tens of millions of Americans, sports is also a major industry. The combined market value of the 113 major league baseball, basketball, football and hockey teams in the United States and Canada is estimated at about $13 billion. This chapter looks at the ownership of professional sports teams, with a particular focus on teams owned by the communities in which they play.
The Green Bay Packers have been community-owned since 1923. How did this happen? Why haven't other major league teams followed suit? The chapter also examines the "transitional" community ownership of the Kansas City Royals and the successful, long-term, local ownership of the seven minor league baseball teams.
The key issue of this chapter is the anomaly of major league sports teams in the United States and Canada having strong, regional fan and local government support, but, with one exception, no reciprocal commitment to their communities. The chapter poses the question: Can the scattering of major and minor league examples of community ownership pave the way for future relationships between teams and local communities that are characterized by mutual support, long-term commitment and cooperation?
Stadium Subsidies as a Form of Eminent Domain
Eminent domain is the seizure of private land by government. The federal constitution specifies that when property is taken for "public use" the owner must receive "just compensation." In the infamous 2005 Supreme Court decision Kelo v. City of New London, five justices incorrectly said "public use" could also mean "for use of another individual." In other words, a taking of private land could be justified merely by alleging some future benefit to the public at-large, even if the only actual beneficiaries were other private parties.
Even when eminent domain is applied this way, the original owner is still entitled to "just compensation." But when the eminent domain act benefits a private person or firm, isn't it "just" for that party to pay the compensation rather than the government? And why should eminent domain principles be limited to takings of real property—land and buildings—as opposed to cash?
A common form of eminent domain taking, although it's not classified as such, is tax subsidies for sports stadiums: City A raises its sales tax and uses the proceeds to finance a new stadium for Team B. This is an ongoing taking of property for which the dispossessed, the taxpayers, receive no compensation. (There are, of course, more classic examples of eminent domain in stadium construction, such as the Brooklyn Nets new arena.)

The Effect of Baseball's Antitrust Exemption and Contraction on Its Minor League Baseball System: A Case Study of the Harrisburg Senators
After the 2001 season, Major League Baseball ("MLB") Commissioner Bud Selig announced that two teams would be contracted. This announcement renewed interest in professional baseball's antitrust exemption.' Although previous contraction was reported, Commissioner Selig's official announcement predictably triggered a host of congressional reactions. One reaction was from the late Senator Paul Wellstone, who introduced a bill to repeal baseball's immunity with respect to the elimination or relocation of major league teams. His bill illustrated that interest in the anti-trust exemption remains as the debate over contraction lingers.
Senator Wellstone's bill was designed to curtail baseball's anti-trust exemption. The introduction of this bill caused considerable and justifiable alarm throughout Minor League Baseball. In 1998, Minor League Baseball worked diligently to ensure that the Curt Flood Act of 1998 protected not only MLB, but Minor League Baseball as well. Despite these efforts, Minor League Baseball still believes that any attempt to limit or change baseball's antitrust exemption threatens Minor League Baseball, contradicts public policy, and defeats the goals for which the antitrust exemption was proffered.

SportsEconomics Perspectives
In nearly every case, stadium proponents made arguments identical to those made in MLB – a new publicly subsidized stadium will lead to economic growth, more jobs, increased tax revenues, and higher incomes. Yet academic researchers have spent the last 20 years disproving these claims at the major league level.
This situation begs the question: do minor league baseball teams really deliver the economic gains they claim? Or are they simply reiterating the unsubstantiated claims of their major league counterparts?
Further, based on the distinct characteristics of teams in different classifications as well as the characteristics of the cities in these classifications (see Figure 3), are there differences in the ability of the teams and stadiums to provide economic gain?
The answers to these questions help inform the current debate on public funding for minor league stadiums by evaluating the veracity of claims made by stadium proponents. With hundreds of millions of public dollars spent each year on minor league baseball stadiums, the economic effects of teams on communities have important policy implications.
Further, based on the distinct characteristics of teams in different classifications as well as the characteristics of the cities in these classifications (see Figure 3), are there differences in the ability of the teams and stadiums to provide economic gain?

Minor League Baseball and Downtown Redevelopment
For the last half‐century, sports has been used by cities as a tool of downtown revitalization, with mixed degrees of success. The unique importance of sports in the American zeitgeist ensures that the development of the venues that house professional and collegiate sports teams sometimes exists in a realm outside that of economic or social logic; major cities throw incredible amounts of money at already rich owners in hopes of luring their teams, often at the expense of schools and social welfare programs, and, for the most part, the public encourages it. In the end, the owners gain the use of incredibly expensive publicly funded sporting palaces that increase the value of their teams tremendously, and pay the city next to nothing in rent. While this has become the norm in the major professional sports, the minors, particularly minor league baseball, often veritably operate in a different universe. Minor league clubs attract a smaller fan base from smaller cities that could never support the costs of the majors. Whereas major league venue subsidies are almost always grossly beyond what any city should arguably be willing to risk on a private venture whose benefits are not economically obvious, when minor league cities subsidize minor league venues, the costs are usually in much better proportion to the economic profile of the city, and some minor league owners are even willing to pay for their own ballparks. Minor league baseball can be an effective investment in a struggling downtown, if its development is carried out with careful planning and attention to exactly how it should benefit the district.

Stadium Construction for Professional Sports: Reversing the Inequities Through Tax Incentives
There are few things in today's society that garner more attention or have a larger significance on everyday life than sports. Avid fans follow their favorite teams not only during their respective seasons, but search the Internet and sports page in the off-season to find even the slightest bit of information. Popular holidays are interwoven with various sporting events, such as football on Thanksgiving Day or baseball on the Fourth of July. Some events even attract their own celebration, such as Super Bowl Sunday. If a city's local team is fortunate enough to win a championship, a large-scale parade is usually held to honor the players and coaches. Clearly, sports permeate multiple aspects of our lives, and it is this popularity that sports franchises use to their advantage. People become so attached to a team that it becomes part of the identity of the city. It is this attachment that team owners seize upon and use to pressure city and state governments to expend public funds, and utilize federal tax law loopholes to build state of the art multi-million dollar stadiums.

Public Buildings Keep Town Centers Alive
Now that the post office has moved to an automobile-oriented location just beyond the central retail area, those who live in Hudson have "no compelling reason" to go downtown, says Lindner. Though the Main Street business district contains two restaurants, a bar, banking and real estate offices, and a collection of stores, Lindner believes "the stores must rely on attracting customers from a larger area who will come to Hudson on nice- weather days and browse through the gift shops." As she notes, "this further alienates the local shopper who might want a shoe store or something 'real.' "
The harm done to downtown Hudson is mild compared to the damage that other communities have suffered when one, two, or even more of their principal public buildings moved out. A planner in a Southern city recalls that his downtown lost part of its liveliness when the post office shifted to a location outside the central business district. A while later, city officials decided the old city hall was too small, so the municipal offices relocated to a building that had become available beyond downtown. Then, because so much money was tied up in the new city offices, local leaders passed up an opportunity to build a new library downtown, even though that was where the library's director said the facilities should be. One by one, the departure of public buildings left the center ever weaker.

The Importance of Government Facilities in Downtowns: An Analysis of Business Establishments in Wisconsin's County Seats
Traditionally government offices have been built in the center of cities and towns all around the world. The necessity of government to be in an easily accessible place was obvious to early designers. It made sense to build a capitol, city government building, or county offices in a location that was easy to travel to, near homes of the employees working in the office, and near supporting and complementing business such as restaurants, pharmacies, and other establishments frequented by employees on a lunch break or after work. However, given the change in shopping habits, dependence on the automobile, increased dependence on computers and the internet, and the rising cost of land in the city center, some argue that there are fewer reasons to keep a government office downtown.
The Jefferson County Office Study was conducted in Summer 2005 by the UW – Extension Center for Community and Economic Development to determine if communities with a county seat have a greater mix of businesses in their downtowns than comparablysized communities that are not county seats. The potential loss of downtown businesses resulting from the relocation of county offices has been raised as a potential issue by County, City of Jefferson, and civic leaders. The Jefferson Economic Development Consortium (JCEDC) is also seeking information on the impacts of government facilities in the downtown area and the JCEDC is sponsoring this study.

In Defense of New Sports Stadiums, Ballparks and Arenas
For sports fans, sports writers and commentators, team owners and leagues, big-city mayors and a bevy of economists, the decade of the 1990s will certainly be remembered as one with a veritable explosion in stadium construction and the relocation of professional sports franchises. Within a few years, 80% of these teams may be playing in facilities built since 1990, and at a combined cost of over $20 billion.' A complementary and literal explosion, of course, was the demolition of older ballparks, or at least the abandonment of them. Comiskey Park, Chicago Stadium, Fulton County Stadium, the Kingdome, 3Corn (a.k.a. Candlestick) Park, the Astrodome, Municipal Stadium, and Tiger Stadium are but a few of such facilities, some remembered more fondly than others.
While public officials, local boosters, and league representatives all point to the tremendous financial and non-financial benefits associated with having a professional sports franchise and new state-of-the-art facility in one's backyard, many economic studies have come, more or less, to the same conclusion: stadiums do not serve as catalysts for economic development, nor do they constitute good public investments. In large part, this is because consumers merely substitute one item with another in their dollar and time allocations for recreation and entertainment, or in the case of city and state government officials, there is a comparable substitution in their capital and operating budgets, reallocating monies that otherwise would have gone to schools, pot-hole repairs, and police.

Revitalization Incentives in Small City Downtowns: Lessons from Practice in the Washington Metropolitan Area
Historically downtowns have been a vital center of business, community interaction, and culture, but changes in the way Americans live and work over the last century have led to a period of stagnation for most downtowns. Small cities in particular have experienced dramatic changes as their economies moved away from traditional agricultural and small industry roots and population growth either stagnated or shifted to the city edge. Revitalizing downtown areas in these small cities can be a difficult undertaking. Significant investment is required from local municipalities, businesses, and the overall community in order to bring about the desired changes, but questions remain about what investments are necessary and which are most effective.
This research has been undertaken to identify the numerous revitalization incentives described in scholarly literature and establish which strategies have been most effective in the downtown revitalization programs of small cities in or near the Washington Metropolitan Area.
This study included a literature review of the evolution of downtowns in the United States over the past century and a survey of revitalization strategies directed to local planning and economic development officials in twenty three independent towns and small cities near Washington D.C. Questions within the survey were selected to identify: (1) do cities engage in programs to revitalize their downtowns, (2) which revitalization incentives or tools are in use, (3) which incentives or tools are perceived to be effective, and (4) how these perceptions are measured.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game, But Should the Crowd's Taxes Pay for It?
Due to the recent openings of the billion-dollar Yankee Stadium and Cowboys Stadium, the public financing of new stadiums with tax-exempt bonds has become a major issue, attracting the attention of Congress, local governments, the media, and many sports fans. This article presents a complete overview of the issue of publicly financed stadiums and offers a solution to a problem that has caused the federal treasury to forgo billions of dollars of tax revenue and burdened millions of citizens with unnecessary state and local taxes.
First, this article presents a brief history of stadiums and the legislative evolution of the exclusion from gross income of the interest of tax-exempt bonds. This article then discusses the current mechanics of how certain bonds are federally tax-exempt and describes the many taxes that local governments use to finance such instruments. These local taxes include sales tax increases, hotel and rent-a-car taxes, sin taxes, and business taxes. This article then presents the most common reasons given by proponents of new stadiums that are financed with these tax-exempt bonds.
Next, the article presents justifications why stadiums should not be financed on tax policy grounds. This article also explains reasons against public financing that have emerged because of the current lackluster economy including the limited public use of new publicly financed stadiums and the fleeting consumer interest in new stadiums in general.
Finally, this article proposes that the section 103(a) exclusion on tax-exempt bonds be disallowed for use on new stadiums. This article also proposes that many goals of new publicly financed stadium proponents, such as preventing a team from leaving, can be more efficiently achieved by allowing tax-exempt bonds to be used for renovations of existing stadiums.

In most industries, quality has never mattered more. New technologies have empowered customers to seek out and compare an endless array of products from around the globe. Shoppers can click to find objective data compiled by experts at organizations such as Consumer Reports and J.D. Power and go online to read user-generated reviews at sites such as Amazon; together, these sources provide an early warning system that alerts the public to quality problems. And when customers are unhappy with a product or service, they can use social media to broadcast their displeasure. In surveys, 26% of consumers say they have used social media to air grievances about a company and its products. And this issue isn't limited to the consumer space—75% of B2B customers say they rely on word of mouth, including social media, when making purchase decisions.
But just as companies' margin for error has decreased, the likelihood of error has risen. In many industries, cycle times are compressing. During the recovery from the Great Recession, output gains have outpaced employment growth, and employees report straining to keep up with demands.
As a result of these pressures, managers must find a new approach to quality—one that moves beyond the traditional "total quality management" tools of the past quarter century. For two years CEB has conducted research exploring how companies can create a culture in which employees "live" quality in all their actions—where they are passionate about quality as a personal value rather than simply obeying an edict from on high. We define a "true culture of quality" as an environment in which employees not only follow quality guidelines but also consistently see others taking quality-focused actions, hear others talking about quality, and feel quality all around them.
We interviewed the quality function leaders at more than 60 multinational corporations, conducted an extensive review of academic and practitioner research, and surveyed more than 850 employees in a range of functions and industries and at all levels of seniority. Some of what we learned surprised us. Most notably, many of the traditional strategies used to increase quality—monetary incentives, training, and sharing of best practices, for instance—have little effect. Instead, we found, companies that take a grassroots, peer-driven approach develop a culture of quality, resulting in employees who make fewer mistakes—and the companies spend far less time and money correcting mistakes.Going Beyond Rules
What embeds quality deep in a company's culture? And how, precisely, does an organization benefit as a result? These questions were at the heart of our "culture of quality" survey.
A minority of the employees we surveyed believe their company has succeeded in making quality a core value: Roughly 60% said they work in an environment without a culture of quality, especially when it comes to having peers who go "above and beyond." Such companies are missing out on significant benefits. Employees who ranked their company in the top quintile in terms of quality reported addressing 46% fewer mistakes in their daily work than employees in bottom-quintile companies. In our surveys, employees report that it takes two hours, on average, to correct a mistake. Assuming an hourly wage of $42.55 (the median for CEB client companies), a bottom-quintile firm with 26,300 employees (the median head count) spends nearly $774 million a year to resolve errors, many of them preventable—$350 million more than a top-quintile firm. Although figures will vary according to industry and company, here's a broad rule of thumb: For every 5,000 employees, moving from the bottom to the top quintile would save a company $67 million annually.
We also studied quality-improvement actions in eight different categories and conducted regression analyses to understand the relationship between those actions and employees' appraisals of how rigorously their company focuses on quality. We found little or no correlation between the use of standard tools and the achievement of a culture of quality. We are not suggesting that companies abandon those tools; however, they should use them to support rules-based quality measures, not as the underpinnings of a true culture of quality.
We pinpointed four factors that drive quality as a cultural value: leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement, and employee ownership of quality issues. Our research indicates that companies could do much better with all four. Nearly half the employees surveyed reported insufficient leadership emphasis on quality, and only 10% found their company's quality messages credible. Just 38% reported high levels of peer involvement, while 20% said that their company has created a sense of employee empowerment and ownership for quality outcomes.

Brooklyn duo Tiny Victories are set to release their new EP Those Of Us Still Alive on February 28th. Their bandcamp has been revamped for the occasion. The track "Lost Weekend" is the first preview of the EP. You may recognize it as the b-side to their Mr. Bones single, but it sounds a lot better now.
It also looks like their breakout track "Mr. Bones" is no longer available. That's a shame.

Kid's Party Themes:Star Wars Black Light Party part one
I am sorry it has been awhile! To make my blogging quest more fun and interesting I decided to do a series on kid's parties. I have done so many that I am going to start showcasing one a week. I am also going to use this as a platform for guest bloggers...fun right?! This week I am going to kick off my new series with a Star Wars Party. I hope you can use some of these ideas for your kid's parties, I also used this same theme as one of our summer camp themes so double duty!
For the Birthday party I wanted to make the setting in the dark to have black light activities. We bought our black light from amazon.com and our lava lamp also. I got a lot of my black light ideas from http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/ and my sister from Appleby Party Designs. This part of the party was super fun to plan with my kids. We did experiments to see what did and didn't glow before the party to make sure it was all going to work. We made glow bottles, I will list what was in each bottle.
1. Tonic Water, snakes and marbles
2. yellow Glow water (see below for instructions)
3. Orange glow water with Marbles and pom poms
To make glow water you just take the inside ink compartment out of a highlighter and soak it in water. Seriously it is that easy! After you make glow water you can use it for all sorts of things!
We had a table set up for the kids to choose a Jedi Name and write it with a highlighter on white paper. We tried black paper and that did not work.
We sprayed a HUGE bowl of mini marshmallows with glow paint and hid glow in the dark stars in it for a sensory box. I found florescent play dough that also glowed in the dark. We made a water table with glow water, glow in the dark stars, marbles and glow in the dark beads from oriental trading.
The kids were all asked to come dressed as a star wars character and we made each kid a light saber out of pool noodles, those things are so resourceful! We cut them in thirds and added black and silver duct tape stripes and a red square for the button. As soon as everyone arrived my husband was upstairs getting ready for the big surprise!! My two girls and their cousins began Jedi training with the kids which is similar to the one they do at Disneyland. They had it all choreographed. When Jedi Training was just about done the music turned to the dark side and Darth Maul entered through fog (my awesome husband).

Montessori Geography: Exploring Africa Part 1
There are many different areas in a Montessori Classroom. This is one of the many reasons why I love the Montessori method. It appeals to my ADHD, multitasking brain! One of my favorite areas of the classroom is the Geography and science center. We basically have a whole room dedicated to Geography and Science at our school.
I often find that by studying geography and social studies the children are able to learn and absorb so much more based on the fact that their interest levels are so high! It is exciting to be a part of. Through out the year I will add our various continent studies and extension activities. Our first continent study of the year is Africa. We began the year by introducing all of the continents, learning the continent song and what the continents look like.
Here is our Continent map I purchased this map from www.alisonsmontessori.com along with several other Montessori supplies. Then we studied the shape and landscapes of Africa. We made a bubble map about Africa and we added more facts daily as we learned more. We studied the African animals because the landscapes of Africa are so diverse we discussed the different landscapes first and the habitats of different animals that lived in Africa.

Show me the money! Montessori money math!
Sensory math! Sorting coins that are "hidden" in water beads.
Show me the money!! I mean really, who isn't excited about money? Kids included. It is natural for children to have a desire to learn about money. It is a part of our everyday lives. We should take this opportunity to teach them about something when their interest is high. I like to introduce money around President's Day. We start with a discussion about Washington and Lincoln and that leads into learning about pennies and quarters.
Another good time to build excitement about money is on St. Patrick's Day when you can go on a search for the money at the end of the rainbow.
This is when you can introduce the nickel. We start with sorting coins, nickel , quarter and penny. I use clear water beads and hide the coins to sort in the water beads. After they have mastered that I add in the dime. The next step after they have mastered coin sorting is to introduce the coin values.
I do this by making it a Montessori counting work, I use sandpaper numbers to help reinforce the value of the coins and have objects to count to reinforce one to one correspondence.
At the end of our money unit we celebrate with a PJ day and snack money store. Each child brings in a snack and I pass out coins for them to count out to buy snacks.
This was a fantastic learning experience and super fun to top it off!! Have fun showing the kids the money!

Back to Montessori School
Back to Montessori School
Going back to school is always an exciting time for teachers, moms and children. With all the excitement how do teachers plan for phasing in the Montessori curriculum? This year was especially challenging for me because we have the most new students we have ever had. We only have 4 2nd year students and no elders (Kindergarteners) so the remaining students are all brand new to the Montessori Method. When I am starting out the year my practical life shelves are empty with nothing but trays on them. This year I am trying a new method of color coding trays and shelves to help with classroom management. Carrying the trays, walking the line while carrying the tray and returning the empty tray to the correct shelf has all been a part of my phasing in process this year.
My math shelves start out with basic Montessori materials, sorting, counting and shapes. Right now we have our back to school sensory box out as well.
Our science shelves are empty with the exception of a nature tray for exploring.
Our line activities begin during circle time and then we extend the line to the bathroom and eventually the main flow of the classroom has a line. While planning walk the line activities I always make sure to incorporate the theme, fun songs and activities to go along with it. The children do not know that while we are singing fun songs and doing different arm movements or sounds that they are mastering walking the line in the process. Dr. Jean www.drjean.org and http://www.jackhartmann.com/ are two great artists that I use for line songs.
It is incredible how valuable these simple phasing in activities are. Usually around week 4 you can walk into the classroom and see the children working on mats, walking on lines, carefully carrying trays with glass pitchers and bowls on them, and using grace and courteousy with their friends and teachers. I do not think the Montessori Method can work without proper time for phasing in. Let me know how you phase in your curriculum or classroom management for back to school. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Montessori Inspired Writing Workshop
Hello All!
It has been too long since I last wrote! I just wrote a blog post for PreK and K sharing and you can find the post HERE. I talked about how to start a writing workshop in a Montessori classroom. The main thing is to instill a love of writing in a child at a very young age. Writing can be a daunting task for children...and adults! If you can find a way to make it fun and have meaning it doesn't feel quite so much like work.
I think that in a preschool class having daily or weekly drawing workshops it teaches the children to draw with purpose. Draw to tell a story. This will get the child excited and begin the writing process. Once the child is comfortable drawing with meaning then you add more complex steps such as labeling, writing a sentence using the labels and eventually a story.
Check out my post at PreK and K sharing and I promise I will write again very soon! I have missed blogging and I am excited to be back!

Weekly Kid's Co-Op Linky! 4.5.12
I love using crazy tools for painting! Here is a fun post about that!
This just incredible!! We tried a project similar to this last month. The kids will be fascinated with watching the crystals form and grow. You can use google translate to read this post.
I was so excited about this post because my husband already said he wanted to make me a light table this summer so now we know how!
Here is my post for this week!
Now that you have seen a few of my favs from last week, here is the link up!

Montessori Easter Works
Hippity Hoppity Easter is on it's way! I am sorry this post is a bit long but I wanted to give you a good visual of all our Easter works. Most of these works will stay on our shelves until May.
This is our Easter Sensory box. It has pots, flowers, eggs and scoops.
Flower arranging is a work that encourages fine motor development and also teaches grace and courteousy. It is a foam floral cube inside a pot with silk flowers to arrange.
I made these letter sticks from tongue depressors and foam letters. These can be uses for fine motor development. tactile learning, abc recognition, spelling. beginning sounds and ABC order. In this work they choose a letter stick then build the letter with the beads.
Mystery bag and Basket is a Montessori activity where you describe an object and the child using clues and tactile exploration to guess the object. In this activity I used Easter grass to hide the objects. The objects are wooden letters from Melissa and Doug.
This is a medium sized foam ball. We called it an egg, the kids used the pipe cleaners to stick in the egg.
These are oval shaped pieces of paper cut out and laminated. The child grades them from smallest to largest.
These are foam stickers from the Dollar Store. The kids make patterns and count with them.
This is my FAVORITE Easter book. It talks about all the fun things that go along with Easter as well as the BEST thing about Easter.
This is an extension activity I do to reinforce the story above. The kids sort the Easter objects. Later in the week we make a craft with these objects.
Here are the letters from the mystery basket. This child decided on his own to sort them by colors! LOVE IT!!!
This work is also from the Dollar Store. I uses it as a fine motor activity. The younger children take the bunny pegs out and place them in the triangle.
This month we are studying birds. These are pattern block birds.
This is another extension to our story. The child draws a picture of the best thing about Easter. When they are finished they can write, label or dictate what the best thing about Easter is!!
Here is the floam again! I like to use it for different works. At this work the child makes an egg shape and decorates it with the items in the paper mache egg.
Last but certainly not least is balloon painting bunny ears. This activity was so much fun I could write an entire post just on it. We were painting bunny ears and I couldn't find our corks. I looked through my supply closet and decided it would be fun to paint with balloons. I blew up balloons in different sizes and we mixed red and white paints. The kids came to the table and "sponge painted" with the balloons. I can't wait to paint with balloons again!!
Have a happy and meaningful Easter!!

Child Abuse Help Lines
If you suspect a child is being abused or you want to help a family get assistance, you can call your county's child protection agency. To find out about ways to prevent child abuse and support families:
Call Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453).
Visit the Childhelp website: www.childhelp.org.
Call your local child protective services.
It is always safer to report cases of child abuse rather than assuming everything is all right. A child often has no one to turn to or does not know where to go for help. It is up to you to be that child's lifeline.

MBI Students Speak...
"Coming into MBI, I had very little formal training regarding finance, accounting, marketing and finance. Now, five weeks later, I can assess the financial health of a company, balance books and understand the processes behind marketing strategies and management decision. The professors were extremely helpful, genuine and friendly. It was overall a great experience, and I am happy I made the investment." - Ashley Heath (UVA '13)

A similarity exists between direct mail and e-mail in that the customers who spend more receive more touches — catalogs in the case of direct mail and promotional offers for e-mail. This "catalog effect" in e-mail, like direct mail, is in part driven by purchase behaviors: The more orders placed online, the more transactional messages and promotional offers follow. This causes more inbox competition, in much the same way as off-line efforts vie for attention in the physical mailboxes of top spenders.

text: Kevin Korjus is main man at Monza. The fast track at Monza is often conducive to epic racing and the first race of the weekend in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series was no exception. Despite a big scare with a poorly executed braking manoeuvre, Kevin Korjus (Tech 1 Racing) showed great maturity for his 18 years to go on to pick up his second win in the discipline. After starting 11th on the grid, Jean-Eric Vergne (Carlin) made a heroic charge to get back up to second place and take the championship lead, while Daniil Move (P1 Motorsport) took the 3rd place on the podium.

Let me know how you'd enjoy doing that.
Oh, that would suck because Cyrillic isn't very similar to your native

Since news has surfaced that Ken Shamrock is now working as a security guard, many are starting to question his net worth. Some sources are stating that the former UFC champion is worth approximately $1.5 million, but many believe that it is much lower than that.
While it has been years since his heyday as a professional wrestler and actor, sources are stating that Roddy Piper still has a net worth of $4 million right now. The belief is that he made quite a bit of money during his time with WCW and has invested well.
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Ahmed Johnson, whose real name is Anthony Norris, played middle linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons (1990 and 1991). He wasn't a big star, nor did he receive a lot of playing time, so he's not remembered by too many NFL fans.
"Oh he got me! Let me tell you how it was supposed to go down. First of all that was a live TV taping so whatever happened happened. So me and Goldust went over this s*** over and over again during the pre-tape. I told him when we did mouth to mouth don't touch my lips put your hand over my mouth and do it to your hand, nobody is going to know. The camera won't be that close up to where anybody would see that and we worked out the angle with the camera man and everything. So I'm lying there and Goldust thought it would be ah if he did it. So I'm lying there and the part is coming up and I feel this mother f***** lips and man I lost it!"
