We make comparisons between business and sports all the time. We talk about hitting a home run, taking more shots, playing defense. But one of the challenges of business, compared to sports, is the rarity of the unadulterated victory. Whether it's a friendly pick up game to a state title to the Olympics, winning a competition offers something pure and simple. A true win. Yes, the victory may be temporary – next round, next game, next season – but it's still very real, very tangible. Continue reading…
Have you ever looked at someone who was really good at what they did and felt a little daunted?
Maybe it's how they seem to easily make connections with new people, or design an amazing-looking web page over a weekend, or how they casually mention the 6 miles they ran before breakfast today.
It's natural to feel intimidated by someone who's really good at what they do and get a little insecure about yourself. It happens to me on occasion. But whenever I find myself falling into that trap, I remember something I learned from 16 years of gymnastics: Continue reading…
Winning Isn't Normal has been out for a little over a week. And guess what?
It's already become an Amazon bestseller.
If you've purchased the book, thank you so much for your support. If you haven't yet, what are you waiting for? =)
Pics or it didn't happen right? Here's the screen shot:
But here's the thing. It's a lot less impressive than it sounds.
When you publish a book via Kindle Direct Publishing (the way I did) you have to pick two categories for your book to fall under. Because my book is about so many things, I had trouble picking which categories.
Because many people consider The Art of Ass-Kicking a "startup blog" and because at least six of my essays in the book are directly about gymnastics or lessons that stem immediately from the sport, I ultimately settled on:
- Sports and Outdoors -> Individual Sports -> Gymnastics
- Business & Investing -> Small Business & Entrepreneurship -> Entrepreneurship
One category is obviously more competitive than another. Can you guess which?
A big fish in a small pond
Most of the time, I'd argue it is better to be a small fish in a big pond. Because when you are competing against the best, you learn more, you get tougher and you are forced to keep improving and never rest on your laurels.
But sometimes it is worth pursuing an area that's more open, with fewer folks clamoring on it, so you can stand out. In this case, having this book reach number one in Gymnastics is worth the trade off of being in a more competitive category. Consider whether there are any activities in life where if you chose a less crowded approach, you could dominate the field. Might be worth trying that out.
Win Awesome Stuff from Me!
If you've already bough the book, consider entering my Book Review Giveaway. You could win three amazing books by Seth Godin, the Heath Brothers and Tim Ferriss, beautiful quote typography posters AND a one-on-one Skype session with me. Right now you have a really good shot of winning, so I'd get on it if I were you.
Just write a review for the book on Amazon and forward it + your receipt to email@example.com and you're entered to win. I'm giving away TWO whole sets of prizes so don't miss out.
In the past three years, I've put countless hours into The Art of Ass-Kicking. It's been a lot of work, but also tremendously rewarding, both personally and professionally. More than a hobby, this blog has become an integral part of my life. I write to internalize what I've learned, and to share with with you, my readers.
In the early spring of 2013, I was thinking about where I could take the blog next, and after a conversation with Kai Davis, decided to publish a book that represented by best ideas, stories and strategies.
Over the course of many months, I put together a book that spans three major themes: focusing our Minds, strengthening our Bodies, and increasing the impact of our Work. I edited and rewrote thirty-one essays (representing over 50k words), designed a cover and three pieces of original quote typography, recruited Sebastian Marshall to write a foreword, and navigated the Amazon Kindle Publishing program.
Today, I'm thrilled to announce that Winning Isn't Normal, is now available for download on Amazon as a Kindle ebook.
You can buy the book here – or – learn more about it here.
Note: through October 22nd, there's also a special giveaway related to the book launch. Scroll down to learn more. Continue reading…
< Most people do the bare minimum and no more. The term paper requires 5 pages. The new job requires you to be in at 8am. The exercise routine calls for three rounds of 12 reps. Why do more? Save your energy, save your time, save your money. The problem is, if you apply this approach to everything, you'll only ever get opportunities that are "the bare minimum". To land that amazing new position working on special projects that just opened up, or that spacious, below-market room in a great neighborhood, or that smart, funny and gorgeous guy/gal, you've got to be willing to go above and beyond. Investing an unusual amount of creativity, dedication, spunk or just plain hustle can often pay huge dividends.
But if that's too hard, you could always just do the bare minimum and hope for the best…

This is officially the first consumer solid state drive from OCZ that is using the new Barefoot 3 controller. This new controller is designed completely in-house by OCZ. OCZ is touting this new drive as the standard for performance users and it offers sequential read and write speeds of 550MB/s and 530MB/s respectively. The Vector is available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB versions and OCZ is backing it with a 5 year warranty. Will this be the drive that saves OCZ and puts them back on track or is the the last ditch effort of a dying company? Time will only tell.

Solid State Drives are becoming the more cost effective upgrade to the traditional home computer. Adding a solid state drive will speed up Windows boot up time, will allow your applications to load faster and make data transfers much easier. Today we are taking a look at Kingston's latest solid state drive, the SSDNow V300. This drive boasts sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/s, which is about 7-10 times faster than your traditional hard drive. The V300 is also Kingston's first drive to use Toshiba's 19nm NAND flash memory. Kingston is aiming the V300 at consumers who want to get the most for their money. Read on as we take a look…

It has been a really long time since we have reviewed a product from Mushkin. Mushkin has mainly been known for memory products, but like most memory companies have moved into the storage realm with solid state drives. Today we are taking a look at their top tier SATA 6GB/s Chronos Deluxe Drive. The big difference between this drive and the normal Chronos is that it uses premium Toshiba toggle mode NAND memory and the Chronos uses asynchronous NAND memory. This is the new 7mm drive as well, so you will be able to use it as an upgrade for thin devices like your Ultrabook. Read on as we take a look at the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Solid State Drive!

As nonprofits go, Ellicott stretches their limited resources and manpower better than any I know. Despite their challenges they meet their goals and give quality care to sick & injured wildlife time and time again. What a great track record and such NICE people doing great and wonderful things. I want to be just like them when I grow up.

Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is the only such facility in our area. Donna and Ralph have done an amazing job in creating and expanding this Center, despite the fact that they both have to work full-time jobs. They are both the kindest, friendliest people to work with! As a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for small mammals and small songbirds working out of my own home, I've had occasion to take them animals for whom I don't have suitable pre-release caging, and--conversely--they've referred animals to me that I specialize in. One of the things I love most about Donna is the follow-up reports I get on animals I've taken to her--they never just "fall off the radar screen"!!! Donna and Phil are doing a fabulous job for distressed wildlife and the public and absolutely deserve and need support to keep on doing this work, which our area so desperately needs!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the expansion and ever improving housing they've managed to build despite all odds, in the countless successful releases of rehabilitated animals and the excellent educational articles Donna writes for our local newspaper.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the kindness and friendliness of Donna and Ralph, and their passion for the work they do to help wildlife! They never seem to lose heart, no matter how difficult it is to find funding and support.

Kigarama Women's, Ibanda Group
She operates a thriving produce business in Kigarama Trading Centre, Ibanda, dealing in the buying and selling of cereals like millet, rice, sorghum, beans, peas and more.
With a business longevity span of seven years, Mariat has managed to significantly sustain and improve on her family's welfare status through paying the school fees for her children and providing for her family's general welfare. To all appearances, her future business prospects look rosy with close to $124 coming in monthly out of her business.
She envisions an even greater profit margin as she gets this loan, anticipating being in a position to buy more stock for the business. This will enable her to expand her business, educate her children, develop her plot of land and also be able to earn more revenue and live a self-sustaining life.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

RAF Museum celebrates life of a pilot
Published: Tuesday 24th of February 2009
Visitors to the RAF Museum in London will be able to marvel at an art display celebrating the life of a world-class pilot.
Alex Henshaw took up flying at the age of 20 and won several awards for his successes, including winning the 1938 King's Cup Race.
Until March 31st, people will be able to see such events for themselves through art work, which will provide "dramatic insights into the bravery, stamina and ingenuity of a true trailblazer".
Among Mr Henshaw's other achievements was his career as a commercial pilot, a job he took up after the Second World War.
He also undertook a solo flight between London to Cape Town - a journey which propelled him to fame.
Those heading for the RAF Museum between February 28th and March 1st can help celebrate St David's Day by getting their children to make a Welsh dragon to take home.
Holders of the London Pass can gain free entry to the RAF Museum, saving £2.75 on both adult and children's tickets. They can also benefit from a free simulator ride.

Niagara Skydive CentreRead MoreIn June 2001, Tim Grech gave up his corporate job to build a skydiving centre on 347 acres of pristine property. Tim and his team of CSPA-certified instructors introduce amateurs to the sky through guided-tandem or assisted-solo jumps and shepherd experienced jumpers through the progressive freefall. The bustling skydive centre boasts scenic views of Grand River, along with free camp sites with fire pits and communal barbecues for roasting freshly plucked clouds on a stick.536 Port Maitland Rd.Dunnville, ON CA
Niagara Freefall & Interactive CenterRead MoreThe 12-foot-wide vertical wind tunnel at Niagara Freefall and Interactive Center stretches 20 feet to the ceiling. Inside, it churns with currents of recirculating air—a system that allows its operators to control the wind conditions and temperature regardless of outside weather. Padded walls and floors, as well as trained instructors, keep those inside safe as they're borne aloft by currents of up to 120 miles per hour. Instructors prepare adventurers—who may be as young as 7 years old—for these turbulent conditions during preflight training sessions, during which they divulge flight physics, safety, and communication hand signals. They also encase their visitors in all necessary safety gear, such as helmets, pads, flight suits, and invisible force fields.6357 Stanley AveNiagara Falls, ON CA
Parachute School of TorontoRead MoreAnyone who has jitters about their jump can just ask the more than 56,000 people who've experienced their first skydive with the staff of Parachute School of Toronto. They'll most likely discover that the seasoned instructors there are more than adept at reducing the nervousness of newbies. These skydive gurus do everything they can to put jumpers at ease before leading a training session designed to not only calm stomach butterflies, but cover all the basics. Once students are confident, they can make a tandem jump attached to an instructor from 13,500 feet, depending on conditions. After exiting the aircraft, skydivers will reach speeds of up to 200km per hour—otherwise known as warp speed for birds—before safely descending to the landing zone below via parachute.5714 Smith BoulevardBaldwin, ON CA

Thanks-RamaSubbu SKDHCP Team
I have a question and have had trouble finding an answer, I am also not sure if this is the correct forum to post but here it goes anyway. Is there a way to query current issued lease information from 2003 DHCP Scopes using WMI, VB.NET or VB Script? I am trying to clean up some DNS records and need to know which DNS IP map back to current leases. I know you can use NetSH to get a lot of information but I didn't see a way to find current issued leases.
Hey Eric,
This is the API you need to use from any of your RPC client.
There is also a netsh command for displaying all v4 clients for a scope:
netsh dhcp server scope show clients
Raunak Pandya
DHCP Server Team
Do you have a code example using this function while referencing Dhcpsapi.dll in VB.NET?
We are running DHCP on Window 2008 R2 and recently it lost router and duration settings for all scopes. It continues to lose the durations settings. Any suggestions on stopping and preventing the loss of settings DHCP?
Do DHCP clients that have a reserved IP address configured for them on the DHCP server release their IP address if for example thier DHCP server is unavailable and their lease has expired?
The default behavior of Windows clients is that they never release the IP address. You can configure the Windows client to "Release on shutdown" via an option configuration on the DHCP server. In which case, the client will release the IP address lease on a shutdown. Other clients (printers, phones) may have different behavior. However, most DHCP client implementations do not release the IP address lease.

Apple UK giving out five free magazine issues a day via Newsstand
updated 03:30 pm EDT, Mon August 18, 2014
Focuses attention on seldom-promoted service
To promote the App Store's Newsstand section, Apple UK is now giving away five free magazine issues a day through August 22. Shoppers are limited to issues selected by Apple, however. The promotion involves single, but complete, issues of the magazines in question, in hopes of sparking subscriptions or generating more interest in e-magazines generally. The first day's group includes NME, The Economist, Focus, T3, and Glamour.
Newsstand has received relatively little advertising since it was introduced in October 2011. Though it appears to have a sustained audience, Apple has rarely discussed subscription statistics for the various newspapers and magazines it hosts. The offer applies only to those with UK iTunes accounts, but if successful the promotion could spread to more countries.
Most of the existing magazines on the iTunes Store offer a free "sampler" or "starter" issue already, but these are often incomplete or feature a "mash-up" of stories from recent issues, with appeals to subscribe (most offer either single-issue or subscription sales through in-app purchases). Apple's promotion does not include any extra marketing or calls to action, and simply presents the free issues exactly as they would appear to those who already subscribe. The selections are designed to appeal to a wide range of readers, and is seemingly intended to increase usage of the Newsstand application and its attendant services.

The Best 3 Japanese Girls Tongue Kissing Sex Scene
All Comments (145)
I kissed my girlfriend like that - she slapped me in my face
are they attacking eachother with tongues??? i didnt know if i should laugh or masturbate///
in japan porn gotta be senserd
lela te la leccherei anchio e ti bacerei cosi telefonami
hahhahaaahaha WTFFFFF!!!!
Best Video ever
where is the subs all i understand from this descution is "watach" -_- i need some lessons of kissing from thos japanese
I don't care what anyone says, this was hot. Those girls just couldn't get enough of each other. What more do you want. However, Japanese expression is a long ways from their actions. I am a male and I learning to kiss my woman/mistress like another bitch. She loves it. She doesn't know I look at porn like this to pick tips.
where is the fuckin subtitle
THAT is kissing? i thought it was licking someones face off... :D
The woman are beautiful, but the kissing is not enjoyable.
The Japanese require censors on the lower sexual areas, even in porn, and that is why it is censored.
el beso de la serpiente :P
good porn need better pussy shots
For everyone asking why it's censored, it's an old law that that the american occupation authorities decided didn't need changing after WWII,but another good reason is that the yakuza (japanese mafia) own the rights to the mosaic blur used in these movies.
696 ...so so so hot!! Grrrr
i think asian porns are cencored because they think its not normal to see vaginas in videos and movies... but uhm?! we live in 2011.. Come on Asians :D
when i would undrstand chinese i would love but so... i only liike it ^^
japan?????? not good
mi piacerebbe farmi baciare a quel modo mmh
watching dis video makes me wanna fuck a girl!
My wife is watching too and going to have a glass dildo orgasm. I have gotten a mighty boner. I wonder who will come first.
wow ... this is so fu**** great *_*. i **LOOOVE**kissing girls XD. NICE job
Laughing out loud that girl is nerd don't like to kiss but then adn then she learn but i see she is ignorant look at 2 old woman licking they're pussy she just watching like "woaah wth" xDD lol
I wish I could cum on their mouths while they're kissing each other.
the rough making out turns me on so muchhh.
thats some serious love-making!!!
This can't be the best Japanese lesbian video ever, as the title claims, if it's pixelated. Still, after the L O N G introduction, you'll see enthusiasm. Give it a try.
it should have been english translation, or subtitles
Japanese porn exported for the US market is often uncensored, so I would suggest this originates from a Japanese domestic release or website. Honestly the censored versions frustrate us all. I live in hopes they will remove such ridiculous restrictions some day and make more awesome porn for all to enjoy.
Is it me or one of the girl actually looks like the Asian lesbian girls from Stargate Universe ?
OMFG that shit turned me onnnnn... till it got to the censored shit >_< that rough kissing had my pussy drippin yo.
Thats a damn shame everything was going good until censored showed up..ugh masturbation fail.
holy shit....
I can't stop laughing.. the way they are kissing XD
MOMFG the girl with the sunglasses a while ago is a monster on kissing !!!
Put subtitles on this video!
whoooaaaa i cummmmminnnn, lick under ma sackkkk
Asian women sure know how to kiss. Wish I could get one to kiss me like that.
I'm a FUCKIN JAPANESE (My wish)
What is the name of this movie/video I want to see the full video
i wish i knew what they were saying to seduce her
ogni volta che vedo la scena chiamo la vicina e le sbatto per mezz'ora la ligua in bocca come un porco poi la scopo sopra di me mentre le ficco un dito in culo e continuo a slinguarla come un porco fino a sborrarle nella figa.
I love the way Japanese women kiss, they were so hot. To bad it was censored, as I would have loved to see their sweet and wet pussys;
I don't know why they don't have more girly stuff. Atleast its not meaningless and crazy.
Um, um good!
hey, now!!!!
Joy Christine Domino

Emma Frost would have been better had she been portrayed by Alice Eve. Too bad she dropped out of talks. January Jones was decent but no where near the Emma I was expecting to see. As I said Singer said a few months ago that there will most likely be one more mutant character added. Obviously we do not know who that is yet. "The Brotherhood of Mutants" isn't a bad title. I liked Havok and wouldn't mind if Alex stuck around for one more film. Banshee didn't really think much of it either way. Angel is a non entity to me but kind of cool to see.

Mead resigns as Mustangs' softball coachPublished 6:11pm Thursday, May 30, 2013
When the Stanhope Elmore softball team takes the field for the 2014 season, a new skipper will be leading the club. Jenna Mead, coach of the Lady Mustangs for the past four seasons announced her resignation May 24, but will remain with the school as a tenured teacher and volleyball coach.
"It was just time to give someone else a shot," said Mead, who holds a coaching mark of 59-36-3 after coaching the Mustangs' 2011, 2012 and 2013 seasons. "I don't want to not coach softball, but it was just the right time to step down."
Mead, who started her coaching career as an assistant on Wilbur Terrell's Lady Panthers' staff, steps aside after a successful run that saw the Lady Mustangs grow and improve both their onfield product and their facilities.
"We went from having to use a trailer as a dressing room to having a really nice fieldhouse," said Mead.
Two years ago, Stanhope Elmore finished in the top two of the area tournament and advanced to regionals, winning their first postseason game since the early 1990s.
"Even this year, I know it didn't end like we wanted it too," said Mead. "But we beat Northview and Thompson and Prattville and we know how good those teams are."
Mead is confident the Lady Mustangs team she's leaving behind is built to take that next step, despite this season's early exit in the area tournament.
"Whoever comes in is going to have the best team ever to take the field from this school," said Mead. "They are going to be state bound if they are coached right. I've done everything I possibly could to get them this far. I'm leaving something really good for someone to come in and take over."
In her final year as Stanhope Elmore's skipper, four of her five seniors inked letters to play collegiate softball.

The newly announced awardees, or their designees, will receive their awards at the second annual Golden Goose Awards ceremony in Washington, DC, on September 19. They will be joined by Dr. John Eng, whose Golden Goose Award was announced earlier this year. Dr. Eng is being honored for his work with Gila monster venom that led to an important new treatment for diabetes that helps to prevent the onset of complications such as blindness and kidney failure.
Following recent conversations between the Golden Goose Award organizing committee and the Wallace Coulter Foundation, the Foundation decided to decline the Golden Goose Award for Wallace Coulter that was announced earlier this year. The committee agreed to the request. While there can be no doubt as to the extraordinary achievements of Mr. Coulter, who discovered the Coulter Principle and invented the Coulter Counter, the Foundation determined that it could not be certain that federal funding was involved in the discovery of the Coulter Principle, which was the basis for the award.

On March 28, 2014, at the North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Md., students, faculty and business professionals met for the third annual Smith School Business Summit. This year's theme looked at innovation as an essential building block for the prosperity and survival of corporations. With more than 600 registered attendants, it was the largest Summit yet.
The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) has awarded two PhD candidates at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business $4,000 each to support international business-related research focused on Chile and China.
Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Catharin Dalpino spoke at the Robert H. Smith School of Business on February 26, 2014 as the fifth speaker in the Office of Global Initiative's six-part series: "Challenges to Doing Business in Emerging Markets." Her lecture was entitled "Political and Economic Challenges to Doing Business in Southeast Asia" and it focused primarily on Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) will hold its fourth-annual Emerging Markets Forum on Friday, April 25, 2014. This year's theme is "Negotiating History, Culture, and Institutions in Emerging Markets." The conference will be held at the Smith School's Washington, DC campus at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
Hot Topic Alert Jan. 29, 2014
Last week's announcement of the Reserve Bank of India withdrawing pre-2005 notes was initially interpreted in the media as targeting "black money (currency used in transactions where taxes are avoided)" and to prevent counterfeiting. Subsequently, officials have deflected such interpretation and defined the move as a "technical action" to remove from circulation notes that have relatively fewer security features.
The Office of Global Initiatives at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business hosted 50 Australian EMBA, MBA, and undergraduate students from RMIT University in Melbourne – one of Australia's most highly-ranked business schools – from Jan. 4-18, 2014, in College Park. The students, most of whom had never been to the United States, traveled to Maryland to experience business education in an American setting and immerse themselves in U.S...

Recipe steps are not well written. Not a souffle-like at all, but very dense.flag if inappropriate
Outstanding dessert. It serves at least 6 people, rather than the 4 indicated.flag if inappropriate
This dish was a smash. Took the previous poster's advice using challah and cayenne. Baked it in a 9 in souffle dish for approx 1 hr and it was divine.flag if inappropriate
this gets requests over and over. it's the first thing gobbled up at thanksgiving and the first recipe people ask for. instead of brioche, i use challah and i leave the crusts on. i also like to add a dash of cayenne for an extra bite. but this is one of my absolute favorite things to make!!flag if inappropriate
To get into the spirit of Halloween, I made this delicious dessert for my family last night. Even my brother, who claims to dislike the flavor of pumpkin, ate an entire serving and was craving for more. I added 2 tablespoons more sugar than the recipe called for and about 1/4 teaspoon of ground clove and 1/8 of ground ginger. The flavor was very nice and rich, but I'll add more sugar, nutmeg, clove and ginger next time. Definitely a fall dessert...lovely and light!flag if inappropriate
This turned out to be much better than I expected. It was delicious, light, moist, attractive and will defn. make again. However, in two different areas, it says to add sugar, but I had already added all the sugar during the first time it says to. It didn't seem to effect the outcome, but it confused me.flag if inappropriate
This is just fabulous! I made it in individual souffle dishes for Thanksgiving, and followed New Orleans' tip by making whipped cream with rum. The proportions can be adjusted a lot; I used double the pumpkin, condensed milk, more brown sugar, added ground ginger (it made a really nice warm aftertaste, just don't overdo it!) and nutmeg, etc. If your creative, use the recipe as a general guideline. I used stale Italian bread with crusts on, and it was perfect, not too tough at all. I did use more liquid, though. This is not a souffle, and shouldn't have the word in the title. I don't know why the previous cooks' "fell", though. We ate perfect leftovers for days.flag if inappropriate
This is amazing...made 1 1/2 recipes and baked it in a 9x13 pan. It's just great and doesn't need anymore than a little whipped cream. Thanksflag if inappropriate
I don't understand how a souffle can be made in advance. The dish (served in both ramequins and a 13x9 pan, since I doubled the recipe for 8 people) came out beautiful from the oven, like a souffle, but fell during the two hours before dinner. I would make this again, but double the sugar and add more cinammon and spices. I added extra sugar this time and it wasn't enough. And I would prepare everything in advance and pop the dish in the oven while the starter course is being served.flag if inappropriate
It was perfect! I made this recipe times one and a half for a 9 x 13 pan. I would lower the baking temp only slightly and cook a little longer to ensure doneness in the middle. We're originally from New Orleans, and there's no way we can serve a bread pudding without a fabulous sauce to top it off, so I used a cup of heavy cream, warmed just enough to gently melt about a half-cup of white chocolate morsels (more for the texture than the flavor!) and added 1/3 cup bourbon to create a Bourbon Cream sauce. Poured over lightly it accents the flavors in a delightful manner! Quite decadent--you'll be the star of the evening at any dinner you take this to. It makes ahead well, sits in the fridge until you're ready to pop it into the oven and take along in a beautiful casserole dish. You can't go wrong--not too sweet, not too heavy--just perfect!flag if inappropriate

Russell: MSU can clinch the Challenge for LSC
By all accounts, the First-and-10 Challenge pitting the Lone Star Conference against the Gulf South Conference has been a success — although West Alabama might not be thrilled with it right now.
The Challenge originated with both conferences needing games to fill up their schedules after three of the Oklahoma schools defected from the LSC and the Arkansas schools defected from the GSC to form the Great American Conference.
The LSC has a 5-4 lead in the series heading into this week's season finale with West Georgia at Midwestern State in a 1 p.m. game at Memorial Stadium.
The series has been good for the Mustangs, picking up two badly needed games just to fill out a 10-game schedule.
Head coach Bill Maskill may not have been thrilled by having to go on the road to West Alabama for a Thursday game, but the Mustangs ended up getting the win over the Tigers.
The reason West Alabama might not be too thrilled with the Challenge? They lost both games to the LSC teams and last week's loss to Abilene Christian dropped them from No. 2 in Super Region Two all the way down to No. 7 with one week to play.
The weird thing about the challenge is that until last Thursday's win by Valdosta State at home against Texas A&M-Kingsville, the visiting team had won all six games. ACU's win over West Alabama last Saturday made the visiting teams 6-2, but Tarleton's win at North Alabama made the visiting teams 7-2.
The Mustangs hope that trend doesn't continue.
The LSC is 11-11 against outside competition this season.
Besides its record against the GSC the conference is 2-3 vs. the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference; 2-0 vs. NAIA schools; 0-2 vs. Division I and I-AA competition; 1-1 vs. Division II Independent and possible future LSC member McMurry; 1-0 vs. the Great Northwest; and 0-1 against the GAC.
■ ■ ■
The Super Region Four rankings announced on Monday showed just how volatile the rankings can be as only one of the teams in the top 10 held the same spot for the second straight week — No. 3 Chadron State.
MSU's win over West Texas A&M propelled the Mustangs into the No. 4 spot, which means they would host a first-round game if the playoff started this weekend.
However, they don't and with another weekend of the regular season there could still be more shake-ups.
Colorado State-Pueblo regained the top spot, switching places with No. 2 Ashland. Those two schools plays teams with 4-6 and 3-7 record, respectively, so pending an upset loss, they will probably stay in the same place.
No. 3 Chadron does play a 6-4 Colorado Mines team. While a win probably wouldn't put it in the top two and the first-round bye, a loss could force them to go on the road or maybe drop them out of the playoff picture.
No. 5 Indianapolis may face the toughest matchup with a game on the road against a 7-3 Urbana team.
The Mustangs play a 3-6 team; No. 6 West Texas play at 1-8 Texas A&M-Commerce; and No. 7 Missouri S&T plays a 2-7 team.
The game that could upset things the most pits No. 8 Grand Valley State (8-2) against No. 10 Saginaw Valley (7-3). Saginaw had been No. 6 until it was upset by Northern Michigan last week — the same team that upset Grand Valley on Oct. 13.
It's hard to imagine a three-loss team jumping into the top 6, but a Grand Valley win might help enough to get the Lakers into the playoffs as West Texas and Missouri S&T both play teams with sub-. 500 records.
■ ■ ■
Three former Rider Raiders had good games for the Mustangs this week as Mark Strange caught two passes for 31 yards and a 20-yard touchdown, while Shavodrick Beaver had a 44-yard run and Tyler Tackett had two tackles. Vernon's Coryan Briggs had eight tackles and broke up a pass; Quanah's Roderick Woodard had a 19-yard kickoff return; and Wichita Falls High's Bryan Keith and Henrietta's Seth Crumpton both started at left tackle and whip, respectively.
Former Archer City standout Kolby Rowe had three tackles for ACU.

So I am a new rider just been out a few times and I hit a really steep whoopty...steep downhill and right back up.....
So, as the bike popped back up the saddle did too.....right into my stuff. So after a momentary black out from the blinding pain and scrubbing off a lot of speed thankfully I came to an abrupt stop thanks to a very kind tree. Left a little skin there to mark my territory.
I know I can't be the first one to have this type of wake up call on the trail, anyone else feel like chiming in?

Al's Market approved to sell fuel
OLALLA - Al's Market can resume selling fuel because it now complies with underground storage tank leak detection and overfill prevention required by state law.
The state Department of Ecology has removed a delivery prohibition issued in March. The 12,000-gallon tank, divided into regular and premium compartments, is only a few yards from the shoreline at the mouth of Olalla Creek.
Ecology inspected the market in October and November, issuing three penalties, one for $100 and two for $400 — all since paid — for various violations.
Al's has shown that it meets all underground storage tank requirements and will undergo an Ecology inspection in the near future.

3) GiveGuide: Finance doesn't really have to do anything. Andrew is working to promote it and involve other groups in the station to promote it. We got $14,000 last year, and Andrew hopes for $20,000 this year. It's not in the budget, but it can help us reach our budgeted membership goals. It appears as Unsolicited membership revenue.

Visiting: Sean Ongley, Sun Lee
1) Check in.
2) Strategic Planning. Paula will contact Anthony regarding coming in next month to present on strategic planning.
3) Development update: David Barsamian event netted $3,700. Amy Goodman expenses will be about $1,000 and Sun has already raised more than that. Sun has raised $5,600 in FY10. Sun is working on the raffle. John Nichols (The Nation) and Bob McChesney (media issues) will be doing a major donor event. Sun is going to try The Portland Trailblazers program where we get $5 per ticket sold and the organization sets up in the concourse. They require us to purchase $200 of tickets. Sun is planning on Square Dance jan 30th, feb 5th or 6th. Sun is doing a major donor training program with Jim Lewis. Dark Horse wants to do something in April, possibly movie night at the Hollywood. Maybe kid-friendly in afternoon and adult in evening. They're also discussing donated artwork to sell on e-bay. Mambo lounge on Fridays is a monthly music jam. Sun's working on $1 per ticket. Sun will discuss a monthly event idea with microbreweries. Sun will talk to Marc about making sure all the Finance Committee members are on the e-mail list.

4) Aug/Sep/Oct minutes approved by acclaim.
5) October Financials. Arthur and Debbie will touch base with Justin about additional underwriting slots for bluegrass and how that's working. We noted that the underwriting price increase was effective since underwriting increased but advertising (no price increase) went down. Membership is lower than last year. Andrew hopes to make this up with GiveGuide and the letter that went out to members post-drive. More on that next month. Salaries increase is due primarily to moving Underwriting & Advertising commission moving from the contra income line—Debbie will footnote this in the future—and also from increasing finance salaries. Finance is offset by decreases in professional services bookkeeping.
6) Historical Analysis of expenses. Debbie will prepare a report on what has been increasing with the expenses. Will include salaries and salaries that have been moved from auxiliary.
7) TABLE Membership Analysis.
8) Alternative Currency: Presented by Mel. Can be like a barter system but it can also be an alternative method of exchange beyond barter systems.
9) Common Good Bank. Presented by Sean Ongley. If this bank opens, Sean would like KBOO to accept the cards, promote to listeners and be a depositor.
a) How does KBOO benefit? i. When we ran their card for people to donate to KBOO, we wouldn't be charged a fee. ii. The people with accounts decide where to send the profits. They could decide to send money back to KBOO. Don't know how much. All profits are sent to nonprofits. iii. KBOO would also be compensated for signing people up.
b) The bank is seeking investors. Sean gets a commission. The minimum investment is $1,000 for shares in the company. Investors get the average inflation rate. Investors shouldn't be interested in profit. They're supporting the bank more as a philanthropic venture.
c) Commongoodbank.com from Massachusetts. There's no local corporation; its Sean is acting as a contractor. He's aiming for 2011.
10) Fiscal Sponsorships. No.Fest: We are doing a fiscal cosponsorship again. They aren't doing Underwriting due to the KBOO admin fee plus underwriting commission. Our nonprofit purpose stated to the IRS is radio broadcast. We'll either live broadcast or rebroadcast portions later. However, the attorney said that if this was going to be a regular thing, we'd have to restate the purpose of our charitable activities.
11) Finance Committee approvede request for $1,700 EAS unit and endorsed the AFP purchase as proposed by staff and passed by board. AFP will include on-air material and website headlines. News services will be $4,500 under budget.

Finance<?xml:namespace prefix = o />
December 15, 2009
Attending: Erin, Arthur, Bob, Paula, Debbie, Nia, Mel, Anthony
Absent: Steve, Rolf
Visiting: Alicia Olsen
1) Check in.
2) Minutes: November minutes approved by acclaim with one change from Mel.
3) Action Items: October/November action items reviewed. See "pending" below.
4) Alternative Banking: Discussion of Sean's alternative banking presentation. They don't have a bank yet, so we're not taking any organization at this time.
5) Strategic Planning:
a) Anthony is on the board at Willamette Valley Development Officers' Association (WVDO), a membership organization. It's been all volunteer, but it tripled in size. At the end of 2008, they sent out an RFP for strategic planning. They received about 15 responses. They picked the Canoe Group for their consultants. This was a brand new firm that no one on their steering committee was familiar with them. They were the only group that really offered answers to the questions and also didn't fit WVDO into their pre-made model. Canoe got to know the organization before making the plan. Marta and Michael are from nonprofit arts organizations and had a lot of consulting experience. It was a ten-month process. Everything was on the table, even the organization's name. The board was very involved; it's primarily a board-run organization. They surveyed internal and external stakeholders: members, similar organizations, non-member organizations to find out why they weren't members. It was data driven, but they also walked the organization through the process so that they could make their own strategic plan. They worked through the emotional components of change, navigated heated conversations. They've helped with implementation They changed their board structure to make it less siloed. They were able to understand how they benefit members, how to communicate that, what program changes to make, who else is doing this work and what are our gaps. They work with large groups with lots of differing opinions and they do market research. We had budgeted $100,000 for the grant application for planning and marketing. WVDO spent about $50,000. Anthony recommended doing decision making and organizational structure first. Arthur discussed the need for understanding our listeners and marketing as soon as we can, but we also need clarity on staff and board roles and participation so we don't spend the money without results. It took about 75% of the WVDO's board's time over a year. There was a concern of our organizational capacity and willingness to change but also concern about our budget deficits. Anthony recommends having them do an initial assessment and have them propose a timeline and steps. Discussion of not being ready for whole process now, but needing to do foundational work. Discussion of open bidding process. Anthony had recommended Canoe because he's worked with other consultants. Discussed the need for commitment, deadlines and followthrough. We applied for Meyer grant to do a project like this, but we didn't d the grant. This was board approved. However, we still have items like marketing and strategic planning that need to be done. Finance recommends bringing Canoe group in to speak with a group of board and staff. Erin will bring to December board meeting. Arthur will let staff know Finance is working on it. Anthony will bring more documentation of the WVDO RFP process.
6) November Financials: Review of good news/bad news and financial statements. Debbie will see how the GSB charges for the EEO report this year compared to last year. Debbie and Anthony will revisit our banking costs. Underwriting & Advertising commission were moved off of the contra-income line and into salaries because we weren't getting an accurate picture of costs. The CPA's recommended to move it if we weren't getting good info because it will now make reconciliations. Debbie will do an mid-year and end-of-year analysis and presentation for Underwriting, Membership and Development. Salaries is running under due to commissions being included and being under budget. Premiums looks high, but it's actually on track due to the large t-shirt purchase. The training expense was Sun's development training that starts in January. We'll see $4,300 from OCF in December. Anthony asked if we're getting a higher return on endowment versus bank accounts; in that case we may want to cancel distributions and take money out of the bank accounts instead; Debbie will research. Debbie will check with John to see if we've tracked all the server expenses. Arthur is meeting with Radio Korea tomorrow.
7) Credit card security: PCI-DSS compliance. We installed the scanning program and filled out the profile, but there is a long questionnaire that we haven't completed, so we got a notice of noncompliance. We have to write a security policy. Debbie and Arthur will develop a security policy and Debbie will complete the questionnaire with input from Zale. Anthony said they're looking to see if the data is protected, what happens to it when its finished, who has access at each step, how long do we keep data. Anthony said it's critical to get this done ASAP because having a problem will have serious consequences. Debbie will talk to them on the phone again to find out the timeline. She took the webinar a month ago.
8) TABLE Historical expenses: Tabled to give Debbie more time to prep.
9) TABLE Membership Analysis: Arthur and Debbie will get from Andrew in January.
10) Membership Dues policy: Presented background and propose policy. Discussion on whether $20 is too low, perception of low price diminishing value. Arthur will ask Andrew. How many members and new members do we get at $20, and do they upgrade over time? Would we lose new members if we increased? Finance would like board to examine basic and low income numbers as being potentially too low after 20 years. Finance Committee supports the policy with feedback to the board that the rates may be too low. Passed by consensus.
11) Policy 15-ownership and distribution: Presented background and propose policy. Finance committee supports policy by consensus.
12) RACC Grant: Former volunteer Ryan White approached us about doing an opportunity grant with RACC. This means that we wouldn't be able to do an opportunity grant for two years, but after speaking with them, it appears highly unlikely that we would qualify during that period for an opportunity grant. We can still do project grants. Committee discussed that this is a good opportunity for publicity and developing relationship with RACC. Also good for Youth Coordinator position. More next month.
13) Development committee: Request for development list of upcoming events. Paula has been to two Development Committee meetings. Development is doing a lot of activities. Big 100 Art Sale, DJ benefit tomorrow night at the Report for $5 donation, Square Dance is Saturday, January 30th at Mt Tabor Theater. Only cost is $100 for sound person, we may also offer square dance ticket premiums on the drive, Bob McChesney and John Nichols major-donor event on January 20th, Blazer game April 12th—we get $5 per ticket that we sell. We commit $200 to tickets. If we sell 50 tickets, we can offer a special item like after-game free throws. We also get a table near the front door. Raffle application is being submitted. Grand prize $2,500 vacation, second airfare to b&b in Mexico, and third prize is New Seasons gift cert--$25 tix. A restaurant night is also being considered for a benefit.
14) TABLE Alternative currency
15) Next Finance meeting is January 19th .
16) Pending: Paula posting minutes and financials to web, Debbie will do historical analysis, Mel is working on a KPFA finance analysis.

December Financial Statements Review – Arthur presents
Good news is bottom line; a couple of thousand ahead of budget for the quarter, membership has been over budget ($12,000), GiveGuide netted about $10,000
To answer Scott's question, the Listener's Guide will go out to by request for February and March, probably move to quarterly after that
Newswire service is currently $800 under budget
Professional services is still over budget but has slowed
Bad News; bankcard fees and service charges are up $1,500 from last year
Underwriting and advertising revenue was $5,800 under budget
Events and Development income is $5,400 under budget. However, it is also up $12,000 from last year YTD, so we are seeing a positive trend
Paula noted that there was not a full-time Development position to compare for trends. Current progress in Development department very encouraging.
Bottom Line revenues are exactly on budget. Expenses are slightly under budget.
Further discussion on year to date line items, balance sheet, liabilities and capital, fund balance, auxiliary, grant ledger, accounts receivable and accounts payable, job ledger
RACC Grant Discussion #2 – Arthur presents
Applied for opportunity grant because KBOO probably wouldn't qualify for one under other scenarios.
The grant is for an oral history project working with Ryan White, Erin Yanke and Roosevelt High School.
Sean Ongley Proposal – table until February
A Look at the FDIC- Mel presents
FDIC insures approx. $5 trillion in bank accounts. ($4.8 trillion in 2009)
They had $30 billion at beg. of 2009, dropped to under $10 billion at end of year. FDIC funds reduced by $20 billion. They have $1 for every $500 insured.
Add'l note: FDIC will have update on their fund bal. at end of Feb. Last time FDIC borrowed from the treasury was around 1991, during the S&L scandal.
FDIC ensures a huge amount more than they have. What's the chance there will be a serious run on banks?
Looked at NCUA, and what their status is, how do they compare to the FDIC
FDIC has a line of credit from US Treasury for $100 billion
Debbie - add yields to balance sheet
- present development income summary (car donations, specific events, etc.)
- check with John about server expenses
- on ledger report, footnote that the quality grant has an additional $4,000
Scott has offered assistance with grant writing for tape archive project, Arthur will notify Bruce Silverman of his interest
Sean Ongley will be asked to attend February meeting to discuss his proposal (Paula)
Meeting adjourned at 8:05pm
