Washington High School is a public high school in Cedar Rapids, in the U.S. state of Iowa. Built in 1956, it is named in honor of the oldest high school in Cedar Rapids.
Built in 1855, the original Washington High School—although not yet known by that name—opened in 1857. In 1869, it narrowed from a general school to a high school. Originally called "the schoolhouse", the "Cedar Rapids graded school," and the "second ward school", it received its current name in 1875 when all the Cedar Rapids schools were named for presidents. The oldest building was called Washington School. In 1887, Abbie S. Abbott began her 34-year tenure as Washington High School principal.[1] The school was expanded in 1910 to help deal with over-crowding, but the expanded room from the addition did not hold out for long. The nearby vocational school Grant School was converted to a regular high school to reduce the burden. However, deteriorating conditions at the original structure led to its abandonment in 1935. Four junior high schools in the area, which had been expanded in preparation, were converted to joint junior/senior high schools.
The present Washington High School[edit]
September 3, 1957, was the first day of school at new Washington. Washington began with grades 10-12 and did not become a four-year high school until 1987.
During the 1956–57 school year, students voted on colors for the new high school and selected red and blue with white trim.[2] They also picked the "Warrior" to be Washington's mascot.[3]
In 1961, 17,625,904 square feet (1,637,500.1 m2) of classroom space were added to the south end of the building–12 classrooms. In 1971, the area under the library was enclosed to provide new office space for the counselors. In 1990, a new gymnasium was built to accommodate the increasing number of recognition assemblies.
In 2003, a large wing of six classrooms and six science laboratories was added to the southwest corner of the building. At the same time, a new band room was completed and the entire original music area was remodeled to house the growing vocal and string orchestra programs.
The first principal, Fred J. Kluss, had been principal at Roosevelt before coming to Washington in 1957.[4] Kluss was succeeded as principal by Don Birdsell who served for three years.[5] Robert O. Fitzsimmons became Washington's principal in 1962.[6] Donald G. Nau took over as Washington principal in the middle of the 1966–67 school year.[7] Ralph Plagman has been principal at Washington High School since 1981.[8]
Art Gallery[edit]
In 2007 Washington High School opened an art gallery to feature the works of famous Washington alumni.[9] The gallery includes works by Grant Wood and Marvin Cone, who both graduated in 1910 at the "old Washington" school. The centerpiece of the gallery is an original mural painted in 1927 by Grant Wood called Kanesville.[10][11][12]

News House Speaker Frank Chopp Open to Boulevard/Transit Option
posted by December 7 at 15:33 PMon
I did a long interview with House Speaker Frank Chopp (D-43, Capitol Hill, U-District, Wallingford) today at the Tully's on 45th and Meridian in Wallingford.
I'll post a longer report about the interview after I get a chance to review the tape, but I want to report this tidbit right away: He's against the current rebuild and open to the People's Waterfront Coalition transit boulevard option.
Here's what he said when I asked him if he was actually for the rebuild or just against the tunnel. "We can't afford the tunnel," he began, scoffing at the current estimate of between $3.6 to $5.5 billion, putting it at $6 billion at least. Then he took out a black pen and proceeded to draw a sketch of what he referred to, with a tone of frustration, as "the three alternatives people are aware of now." He drew: the tunnel, the retrofit, and, in his words: "the ugly elevated thing."
It was news to me that he was against the current rebuild option.
I reminded him that the retrofit was ruled out this week, and so he drew a big X through it, and said that leaves the tunnel, which he opposes, and the rebuild. He drew Xs through those two options as well: "I don't like either one of those," he said, calling the current rebuild proposal: "ugly, noisy, uninventive, stupid, you name it," He also boasted about his "focus to kill the tunnel." So in Chopp's opinion, all the official options up for review are DOA.
Then Chopp surprised me again: "That leaves two alternatives that I'm very open to." He started sketching again, drawing two options he felt hadn't been given a fair hearing. "One is the surface transit option," he said. "I'm okay with this if it'll work."
By "work" I asked him if that meant "maintain capacity"… and he said simply: "I don't know if the surface transit option is good or bad, but I'm open about it. If that's what we end up with, I'm happy."
He also said we should look at a different redesign for the elevated option, although he didn't give me specifics. "It's great urban design!" he said cryptically. (I didn't want to indulge him on that one, so I didn't push for details. I've heard rumors that it's a bizarre, expensive, three-tier design with an elevated park.)
Finally, re-emphasizing that we don't have the money for the tunnel, he said: "If we don't do the tunnel and we do one of these two other alternativesthe better elevated or the surface option, and I'm open to either one, then you have the money to pay for that."

Juventus boss Antonio Conte reckons Gary Hooper could be a Serie A superstar.
The Turin gaffer pinpointed the Celtic striker as the key threat to his team in tonight's Champions League last 16 crunch.
Hooper's sparkling European performances have attracted the attention Norwich of England boss Roy Hodgson and Conte says he could also be star-turn in the cut-throat Italian championship.
The Juve boss admitted: "Hooper up front is a player who, with the greatest of respect to Scotland, could excel in our championship in Italy.
"He is a very fast player, who attacks the spaces very well and is a good finisher."
Conte, however, is adamant that Neil Lennon's team are far from a one-man band and the Scottish champions possess weapons across the pitch who could hurt his superstars.
He added: "Celtic has good players throughout the team and the heart and soul seems to be Scott Brown.
"Alongside him is Victor Wanyama, who, as well as being technically good, has an impressive physique.
"Georgios Samaras attacks the spaces very well and is another who has an imposing physique, as well as being technical.
"I like Kelvin Wilson, and the goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who is a very young player with a very good future.
"Celtic are not unknown to us and we have certainly not underestimated them.
"I said before they have not just played well in the SPL as not many teams could beat Barcelona at home and lose just narrowly to them away from home."
However, despite his massive respect for Lennon's men, Conte is convinced his team are in the right frame of mind to do damage to the Hoops in the first leg.
He said: "We have looked at Celtic very closely. We have seen they have a clear physical threat and the average height of their players is probably above the norm.
"They are very good at set plays, but that is not their only threat and we have to be very careful.
"It's not a surprise because British football has always been strong on set-pieces but, as I said, Celtic have other threats, too.
"I wouldn't read too much into what Neil Lennon says about planning to counter-attack.
"In terms of our own approach, if we lose the match then it will be because we have attacked and tried to win."
Meanwhile, the Juventus manager has also played down the furore which accompanied his team's decision to train yesterday morning at Murray Park.
Rangers' offer of facilities was accepted by the Italians, but Conte said:
"It was only really through the Italian press that I learned there was such surprise and astonishment here in Scotland that we had actually used Rangers' pitch.
"I have to say I found some of the criticisms rather strange. From my point of view, the choice was a purely technical one. The clubs were able to reach this agreement.
"We needed a training pitch with two goalposts and, as far as I am concerned, that is it."
Beware the underdog: Lennon warns Juventus not to take Celtic lightly
Neil Lennon warned Juventus not to underestimate Celtic in the battle for a Champions League quarter-final place.
Lennon's Hoops saw off Benfica and Spartak Moscow to finish second in Group G behind Barcelona - whom they famously beat 2-1 at Celtic Park last November.
The Italian champions are strong favourites to progress but the Celtic boss said: "I think we have been underestimated throughout the whole campaign.
"Going into this game we are being made out to be massive underdogs but I don't quite see it that way myself.
"There is a real belief, anything can happen over two games.
"We go into the tie as underdogs but nothing is going to be decided at the end of 90 minutes tomorrow night, it is over two games and we are prepared to play hard football over 180 minutes.
"They have excellent strikers - Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella, Sebastian Giovinco, and they have also brought in Nicolas Anelka.
"But the one who has caught my eye is Alessandro Matri, he looks an excellent young player.
"They are very strong in midfield. Arturo Vidal is playing very well currently, Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio, these are class players including Andrea Pirlo who is still one of the finest midfield players in the world.
"But it would be dangerous to underestimate Celtic. We have proved already this season that we can be a match for anyone."

Osteo Bi-Flex is an over the counter brand of Joint Treatment , designed to repair existing damage and maintain healthy performance. The product is available in a number of different formulas, Advanced, Triple Strength, Plus MSM, Double Strength and Regular strength. All the basic formulas are identical apart from the amounts of the ingredients and various added vitamins and extracts.
There is an official website for Osteo Bi-flex which showcases the range of products and includes a video of the product's T.V. commercial and information on Rexall, the manufacturers. It also includes a FAQ section, but no customer testimonials. Osteo Bi-Flex claims to be the #1 doctor recommended brand but shows no actual proof to back up the statement.
While the site is generally informative about aging joints, some of the sections are confusing and it can be difficult to navigate, particularly for the older age group for which the product is aimed at.
No free samples are available for Osteo Bi-flex, although the company does offer a $5.00 discount coupon on the site and there is an 'Ambassadors Club', basically a reward points program that entitles customers to redeem points for further discounts (i.e. 100 points for a $2.00 discount).
Osteo Bi-Flex – Facts
The Osteo Bi-Flex products are listed separately on the website, although it is not entirely clear which ingredients are included in the different formulas. It appears that in addition to Chondroitin and Glucosamine – the essential building blocks for joint and cartilage rebuilding – all the formulas contain Joint shield, a patent-pending blend that includes 5-Loxin, an extract of Boswellia Serrata Acid. An anti-inflammatory, Boswellia reduces swelling in inflamed joints, relieving pain fast and allowing the joint to repair itself more efficiently. Most of the formulas also include Vitamin C and MSM, both used to support vital collagen production, and Manganese which provides skeletal support.
Unfortunately the full product labels or ingredient amounts are not known for any of the formulas nor are dosage instructions included. While there are no guidelines regarding the best formula to take, it is assumed that more damaged , painful joints will require the Triple strength product, which is said to work in as little as 7 days.
Positive Features
- Osteo Bi-Flex is widely available in retail stores
- All formulas contain Glucosamine and Chondroitin, proven joint treatments
- Osteo Bi-Flex has received generally good independent reviews
- Discount coupons are offered
- The Rexall company is reputable and established
- Osteo Bi-flex is affordable
- Most of the ingredients are explained in detail
- Osteo Bi-flex is available in four different strengths
Negative Features
- The website is confusing and hard to navigate
- The ingredient information is not clear
- No product labels are shown
- No clinical study results are shown
- Osteo Bi-Flex is not suitable for shellfish allergy sufferers
- No customer testimonials are available
- No free samples are offered
Osteo Bi-Flex is an all-round good Joint Treatment although its main function is to maintain joint health rather than immediately relieve pain. Over time, it should allow those with aging joints to be able to enjoy the full active lives they are used to, without experiencing some of the gastrointestinal problems that some over-the-counter products can cause.
Osteo Bi-Flex is also a good choice for anyone with trouble swallowing pills, thanks to the smaller capsule size and it also features an 'easy use' cap, great for anyone with arthritic hands and fingers.

Postgame Notes vs. UTEP
UTEP at No. 12 Texas A&M + Kyle Field, College Station, Texas + Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013
• It was the 699th victory in program history. The Aggies will seek to become the 18th team in FBS history to reach 700 victories.
• The Aggies improve to 7-2 overall.
• A&M eclipsed the 50-point mark for the ninth time in 22 games under Coach Sumlin, including four times in 2013.
Defending Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel accounted for six touchdowns with four passing TDs and two rushing scores. He completed 16-of-24 passes for 273 yards and rushed for 67 yards on seven carries before exiting the game in the third quarter.
• Manziel's six TDs matched his career high for TD responsibility.
• It was the ninth time that Manziel has generated at least three passing TDs and at least one rushing TD in a game.
• It was his eighth game with two or more rushing and passing TDs in a game.
• His third-quarter 49-yard TD run was the team's longest rush of the season.
• It was the 19th time in 22 career games that Manziel generated 300 or more total yards.
• Manziel passed Kevin Murray for sole possession of No. 2 in career touchdowns with 54. He's chasing Jerrod Johnson's record of 67 touchdowns from 2007-10.
Evans Matches Fuller
Sophomore Biletnikoff Award candidate Mike Evans matched Jeff Fuller's school record for season receiving TDs in just nine games with his 12th TD grab of the season.
• Evans finished the night with four catches for 46 yards with one touchdown.
• His TD catch was a 26-yarder from Johnny Manziel, marking the 20th time in 22 games that Evans has at least one 20-yard catch.
offensive notables ...
• With 57 points vs. UTEP, the Aggies have now scored 40 or more points in 12 straight games, which is the longest active streak in the FBS.
• The Aggies generated 564 yards against UTEP, marking the eighth straight game with 500 or more total yards, which is the longest active streak in FBS.

Another strong defensive effort

• After forcing 11 turnovers in the first seven games, the Aggies have forced eight turnovers in the last two games, including three INTs and one fumble against UTEP.
notables ...
• Floyd Raven's punt block on UTEP's opening offensive was the Aggies' first since K.J. Williams blocked one against Texas in 2008. The blocked boot rolled through the endzone for a safety, which was the first scored by the Aggies since Oklahoma State ran out the back of the endzone to protect their 2011 victory at Kyle Field.
• The safety caused by Raven's block put the Aggies on the scoreboard first for the eighth straight game and for the 21st time in 22 games under head coach Kevin Sumlin.

• The Aggies' team captain representatives at the coin toss were seniors Ben Malena, Toney Hurd Jr. and Jake Matthews and junior Mike Evans. UTEP won the toss and elected to receive.

I am new to wordpress. The Twenty Eleven theme came with my wp install. Before I read the tutorial, I stupidly started customizing and ran into trouble.(got confused with static front page vs regular page vs post.) I messed it up and deleted everything I had done thinking I could start over. But I can't seem to fix it, so I want to do a fresh install of the theme.
I tried to delete the theme and then reinstall it. But it doesn't give me a fresh version. It is continuing to show my messed up version.
How can I get a fresh version of the theme? I searched the forum but couldn't find any instructions.
Thanks for your help!

I am trying to update one of my packages in the AUR. Upstream using GNU automake/autoconf tools and has worked just fine for previous versions. This time around, the download from upstream is missing several of the mandatory files required by autoconf. I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with this.
1. I can add just create them, and distribute them with the Tarbell, and push them into src directory prior to invoking autoconf.
2. I can use the --add-missing flag, but that requires the running of autoconf multiple times (unless I am confused)
What is the best practice when files such as NEWS and README are missing?

HOUSTON (January 10, 2014) An off-duty Houston firefighter thought fast after he drove up on an 18-wheeler fire, and used the beer the rig was hauling to douse the flames.
Fire Capt. Craig Moreau and his wife were driving home Monday night after a trip to Austin when they up on the 18-wheeler.
A brake problem ignited the fire.
Moreau and the trucker first tried using a small extinguisher to put out the flames.
Moreau says he thought the fire was out, but after crawling beneath the rig to check, he discovered the flames had flared up.
The firefighter then asked the driver what he was hauling.
When he learned it was beer, he had his solution.
The two men began shaking, opening, and then spraying cans of beer on the blaze.
The beer did the trick, dousing the flare-up.

Three-and-a-half-years-ago, Bonifay officer Steven Lee was nearly killed in the line of duty after being shot 12-times by a deranged gunman. Tuesday, Officer Lee is trying to get his old job back.
Last December, he was suspended without pay for allegedly making a traffic stop outside the department's jurisdiction.
But following a state investigation which concluded no criminal intent by Lee; his attorney has asked the Bonifay City Council to put him back on the police force.
One council member wants more input before he decides whether or not Lee should be re-instated.
Next month, the Bonifay City Council will hold a special hearing on whether Steven Lee should be re-instated to his old position with the police department.

This fall was Ryan Franklin's second straight season holding the No. 1 spot for the Brownstown Central High School boys cross-country team.
He said he worked hard to earn and maintain that position.
"Being up at the top, I just kind of go with the pack and just kind of stay up there," the Braves senior said of his race strategy. "I knew coming into the conference, North Harrison was going to have a couple of (fast) guys from a meet a couple weeks earlier, so I at least wanted to split them. Everyone else I knew I could beat."

The Top 20 things that need to be changed in the world of sports
After the 2002 MLB All-Star game ended in a tie, Bud Selig panicked, trying to avoid the perception that baseball could be considered anything like soccer. Soon after, he decided that the solution was to make the game mean more by making the winner of the game (the National League or the American League) get home field advantage in the World Series.
The real solution would have been to just not allow a tie until the game was over, or just live with the possibilities that the exhibition game could be a little bit like soccer. Instead, now players who get nowhere near the World Series are determining who has home field advantage in it.
7. Cut the Major League Baseball season down to 140 games so they're not playing baseball in November
The odds on favorites to win the World Series this year are the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Yankees. At least Major League Baseball has decided to keep the World Series from being played in November, but the last week of October is still inhospitable for baseball in cold-weather places like Boston, Philly or New York.
Regardless of when the World Series is, 162 games is just a smidge too many, so 140 games is plenty to determine who the best teams in baseball are. Baseball may have a chance to make up some ground in public popularity if the NFL and the NBA go on strike in 2011. One of the biggest reasons that the NFL is more popular than Major League Baseball is the long baseball season. Make it shorter and you'll have a chance to gain some younger fans while you have the chance.
6. Revamp the way that the NCAA investigates and punishes programs
The NCAA is a mess. It jumped all over Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State for selling property that was their property, but sat silently while big conferences ate up smaller, less powerful conferences and destroyed the hopes of many athletic programs. What needs to be changed the most is the way the NCAA punishes schools who violate their rules.
Scholarships are often taken away as a result of violations made by administrators and coaches. The NCAA claims that its purpose is to provide educational opportunities and that its athletes are students first. Meanwhile, it punishes schools by taking away those educational opportunities.
As Jay Bilas of ESPN said, is as ridiculous as punishing a hospital by taking away its beds for a certain amount of time so that they can help less patients. If you have to take scholarships away from the football team, give them to the school to be used outside the athletic department. But only if you truly believe that you are in it to give prospective students educational opportunities.
5. While we're letting NBA players pick and choose where they play, let's just disband half the league by contracting 15 teams
We're going to get to this more at No. 2, but let's face it, the days of NBA Finals in Utah are over so long as the NBA stays the way it is. Half of the league has no chance to win an NBA championship, so let's just eliminate the teams who will never be able to attract the big stars that are now flocking to the big cities of the NBA
In fact, does anyone legitimately believe that anyone outside the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Heat, Magic, Bulls or Celtics has a chance to win the NBA finals this year? So why not throw the Thunder in there and throw out everyone else. Those are the only games that anyone watches anyways. The NBA's lost two-thirds of its markets anyway, why not just get rid of them?
4. Put an NFL team in L.A. already
Los Angeles is the second-largest market in America. How is there not an NFL franchise there? You've got two baseball teams, two basketball teams, a hockey team, a soccer team (for crying out loud), yet no football team. There are already plans to build a $1 billion stadium in downtown Los Angeles, you might as well put a team and some fans in it. Enough said.

Ibiza (official name in Catalan: Eivissa) is an island in the Mediterranean Sea 79 km off the coast of the city of Valencia in Spain. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, an autonomous community of Spain. With Formentera, it is one of the two Pine Islands or Pityuses. Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan: Vila d'Eivissa or simply Vila), Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany. Its highest point, called Sa Talaiassa or Sa Talaia, is 475 m/1,558 ft above sea level.The summer season and the first really warm beach days begin in May, with beautiful clear, sunny days and temperatures in the mid-twenties. Between the months of June and September, there is very little rain fall. In August and September the temperature rises to over 30º C. With water temperatures of 25º - 27º C, beach babes are in their element!

The headlines will be all about the Queen sky-diving from a helicopter with Daniel Craig - and that's not a sentence I thought I'd write when I woke up this morning - but let's give Danny Boyle credit for the fact that this was surely the best-soundtracked Olympic ceremony ever. Frank Turner warmed the crowd up for what turned out to be a hurtling joy-ride through fifty years of British music.

The whole thing was far more 'indie' than anyone could have expected. Arctic Monkeys covering 'Come Together' (available now on iTunes)! Happy Mondays, Blur, Muse and New Order on the soundtrack! Even Two Door Cinema Club's Alex Trimble got up and sang a song, just before the cauldron was lit - 'Caliban's Dream', a track written especially for the ceremony by Underworld's Rick Smith. Truly, this was the indie Olympics. And here are the songs that featured. Click here for a Spotify playlist of as many songs as are available.
Note: I've not included the songs that played during the athlete's parade bit, because it was boring and I was doing something else. Apparently there was lots of good stuff - new Underworld remixes, for example, and erm, a U2 medley. Please do let me know what I've missed in the comments.

Released: Nov 14th, 2007
Running Time: 150 Min.
Director: John Strong
Company: Red Light District
Cast: John Strong, Alexis Texas, Kimberly Kole, Aline (III), Naomi Cruise, Veronica Rayne
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Raincoater-ism is about uninhibited voyeurism and filthy, nasty sex, and John Strong's combination of this aesthetic with the immersive POV shooting style is extremely effective. He orders his compliant sluts around without exhibiting an overbearing personality, keeping all of the focus on the girls where it belongs.
Anal fans will find plenty of satisfaction in Veronica Rayne's and Aline's gaping and A2M scenes, though Kimberly Kole and Alexis Texas's pussy fucking scenes are just as hot.
The doggiestyle footage comes out particularly well, with Strong's camera lecherously focusing on the babes' winking brown eyes. And all five of these girls could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

Costly, massive IT projects that aim for sweeping reinvention of agency computer systems and business processes — the so-called grand-design approach — found themselves in the Obama administration's crosshairs this year.
The administration's first target was fixing projects already in the pipeline. Office of Management and Budget officials worked with agency leaders to pull the plug or recast four projects that suffered from the all-too-common afflictions of being over budget, behind schedule or otherwise seriously off-course. The officials also scrutinized and then tweaked and accelerated several more projects.
Now the administration is considering structural changes in how future programs will be funded, staffed and managed. The President's Management Council has promised the details on that reform plan in the next six months.
But observers say there are two critical elements that will make or break the effort to end the grand-design era: the ability to embrace agile development techniques and the creation of a well-trained acquisition and project management corps to oversee the new rapid delivery style. There might be reason for optimism about both objectives.
The idea of using agile development as an antidote to grand design is hardly new. Nearly 20 years ago, the General Services Administration advocated that government avoid giant, multiyear IT modernization projects and instead deliver new systems in small chunks and solicit user feedback to identify problems early and facilitate frequent course corrections.
That advice, certainly ahead of its time, went unheeded for numerous reasons, including the inertia of government culture and the long learning curve — for government and industry — of switching to a new development paradigm.
"Some people thought that if you gave up the giant monolithic development process, you lose easy program accountability, but that old approach doesn't help improve outcomes; it just makes it easier to audit these projects," said Thom Rubel, vice president of research at IDC Government Insights.
But attitudes are changing. Rubel said that in recent years, government has been moving toward smaller, more discrete projects for two reasons: Tighter IT budgets demand less ambitious plans, and agencies are focusing on software and services to improve business operations now that big investments in hardware and basic infrastructure are behind them.
Another shift that will likely facilitate agencies' efforts to embrace agile development is the government's hiring of more young people whose only training and experience is with agile development, said Steve Kelman, a professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and a Federal Computer Week columnist.
The Obama administration's IT reform plan is expected to include the creation of a special career path for program managers and acquisition professionals who will be trained in agile development skills. Rubel said agencies will have a decent chance of retaining those valuable workers given that government is bringing a lot of IT work back in-house after years of outsourcing and because job security in the private sector will remain shaky.
He said he expects that in the next few years, 30 percent of all government IT projects will use agile principles. For its part, the Veterans Affairs Department, whose effort to modernize its accounting system was one of the faltering projects shut down last summer, is making the adoption of agile development techniques a priority in 2011, according to its annual management report. Other agencies are following suit.
Finally, going agile doesn't mean agencies should abandon big ideas and bold visions.
"You can keep the grand design, but you look at [how to get that] elephant cut into bite-sized pieces," said Larry Albert, president of the health care division at Agilex Technologies, which specializes in agile development.

The problem with "Grand Design" systems is with the culture change the new system brings, and the layers of bureaucracy. Technically, most are not hard to design and build; it's the politics and culture that gets in the way.
'bout time actually - let's see if it really happens. One big risk to an agile approach is cuting corners on the big picture architecture - the destination you're steering toward if you want to stay with Beck's analogy. The other is of course that wasteful spending still ends up in somebody's pocket - there'll be pushback to any approach that doesn't keep the right trough full.
"Grand design" déjà vu. It seems to come around every eight to ten years or so. My time with IRS' Tax System Modernization back in the 90's exposed me to the folly of Grand Design. Almost always resulting in failure, the information technology is almost always blamed as the failure usual culprit. One of the ballyhood fixes of the past was to acquire system modules using a modular acquisition approach. It can work, but didn't. The real problem is the assigned people and culture. When IRS was about to award a huge contract, it was met with dismay rather that considered a success. Curious after years of work. To give these huge efforts a better chance for success, they must be treated as acquisitions (not "procurements" or "contracts"). DoD is often criticized for its major systems development methods, but something like it (with reduced baggage) is an essential. To make that work, dedicated, supported, and accountable (and don't kill the messenger) program managers are the key. Eben Townes, Federal Strategies, LLC

until that last requirement.
Peppers at 10, which seems low.
As you may know, Heiko is leaving MGoBlog to go be a research doctor. This means we are in need of a person to fill his role. That is this:
It is a part-time gig with an expected commitment of 10-15 hours a week during football season and spring practice. Given the nature of the job, you have to be located in Ann Arbor or environs and able to show up for press conferences that are usually mid-day on weekdays.
UPDATE: I have been dissuaded from using the lack of instructions as an intelligence test. Email resumes to [email protected]. Make 'em heavy on stuff you're doing for no reason other than you want to.
Can I write for other places?
Can I write articles for MGoBlog that actually contain, like, my own writing?
Possibly. Heiko wanted to and was good at it, so we expanded his position to encompass that. But he is an excellent, funny writer. You would have to be at least one of the two. It is a head start towards approaching the front page, but this role is distinct from the engaging writing that we like to have on the front page.
Should I acquire a weird, almost father-son relationship with one of the coordinators?
Do not come into this job trying to be Heiko. His relationship with Al Borges was amazing, miraculous, and idiosyncratic. We want you to be inquisitive about football in a way that will probably draw cocked eyebrows the first time you ask about something seemingly better suited for a coaching clinic than a press conference. HOWEVA, my biggest fear about replacing Heiko is getting a guy who thinks that he can take being Heiko to the next level. Do not next level Heiko, please.
Is this is a step towards a full-time job at MGoBlog?
Possibly but not necessarily. Given current growth rates we are a few years away from even considering another full time guy on the editorial side. The position is a good fit for a young guy who's looking for a start.
until that last requirement.
Thanks for all the work Heiko. I'll miss you! Is that weird?
I'm not applying, but I assume these will be asked:
What's the pay?
How should an applicant feel about bubble screens?
How does one apply? (resume to [email protected] ?)
Will losing Heiko's medical training mean that the new applicant must diagnose "boo-boos"?
So this is definitely not one of those weird craigslist ads where I wind up shirtless and dancing with a stuffed bear wearing a mask of Tom Hammond? Because if so, I think you already have my resume on file.
But not this funny. +1
It's nothing of a sexual nature I assure you.
and glad you picked up on where I was going.
But it was funnier when you didn't have to explain it in such detail. Those who recognized it would be amused enough for me. :-)
Yeah, I hear you, I just couldn't resist.
You know, I came this close to buying this place, but then I found out that Hop-along Cassidy killed himself here.
OMG that's hilarious. Plus one (of course) and major, major kudos.
Surely someone in the MGoBlog readership has a current position open for a research doctor. Simply incorporate the press conference transcription and questioning requirements into the position. Heiko will be the most qualified applicant and will certainly get the job.
Problem solved.
Heiko will be tough to replace. He had a certain je ne sais quoi. Poor grad-student type on a 20-hour a week assistantship is probably gonna be your best bet.
but he also had that "certain something" that you just can't describe...
I assume girls are also eligible for this position?
username: Michael
Yes. Updated title to reflect that.
Except for that whole working for him thing. That part was normally pretty good. Would work for again!
-Non-disgruntled ex-employee
same thing as gruntled?
I was just in it for the benefits.
MGoBlog Benefit Package for Part-Timers:
but I'm having such a "turn your head and cough" moment right now.
|gruntled (ˈɡrʌnt ə ld)
|— adj
|informal happy or contented; satisfied
Isn't Al Borge looking for work?
"Coach Nussmeier, what is with all these bubble screens you're running?"
Is swag a requirement for this position? I assure you, i fulfill your swag needs.
Too bad, with the new offensive coordinator the best part of the job (asking about bubble screens) is probably no longer relevant.
That's OK, we can bitch about the lack of Fullback plays.
I hope Brian has more job openings soon. This thread is freaking hilarious.
Now I really wish I were still in Ann Arbor.
Does Chris Perry know about this opening?
This sounds way more appealing than living in Texas.
What if you're an old guy looking to ease into retirement? I will be applying for this job in about 20 years.
It dawned on me that if I had to be there for press conferences, I could get there early and go to Angelo's. If I did that often, I'd end up with a heart attack. I can see how this is a position for a young (click for protologism table). I would like to thank Brian for saving me from myself!
If I get this job, can I live in Brian's basement?
have to put you on the wait list.
guy did this as a side job, he must really know what he is doing as a doc. Thanks for all of the great content!
you mention that this is a good fit for a young guy looking for a start. This has now been amended to include a young guy/gal looking for a start. What about an old guy/gal looking for a start/finish?! (Old here I think includes anyone born before 1974)
This job would be a perfect way to supplement my non-existent social security.
there wasn't a response to the age consideration question. Maybe they would change their minds if said older person was still paying for younger-college age person's bills or housing that 20-30 something blogger? Just a thought in the name of equal opportunity.
Heiko, you don't even visit anymore!!
I don't live in Ann Arbor. Or type with more than four fingers. Or have talent.
It's okay, Scruffy.
or possess a larger ring of keys than you, scruffy. No one.
I have been told by many an authority figure, that I have a problem with authority. Could you confirm if that makes me qualified for this position? I'm assuming we can negotiate the other contractual components regarding writing comprehension, location, time availability, transcribing skill, dress, personality, and being Heiko without actually being Heiko...of which, I am not qualified in any way what so ever. What are the next steps? When can I expect to hear back?
I want to thank Heiko for his hard work and applaud his lateral move.

Supplementation Had No Impact on Fat Metabolism
Oct. 8, 2008 -- Eating calcium-rich foods may do a body good, but calcium probably won't help you lose weight, new research shows.
In a rigorously designed study to examine the issue, investigators found no evidence that calcium supplementation influenced energy expenditure or fat-burning in overweight people whose regular diets were deficient in the mineral.
Widely publicized animal and human studies that did suggest a role for calcium in weight loss led to a multimillion dollar ad campaign promoting three servings of dairy products a day with slogans like "Milk your diet. Lose weight!"
The new study was conducted in an effort to confirm or disprove the findings in these earlier studies, metabolic physiologist Hilary Green, PhD, of Nestle, tells WebMD.
"There was no evidence in this latest research to suggest that calcium helps people burn more fat through the mechanisms that were tested," she says.
Calcium and Weight Loss
The 20-week study, conducted by researchers from Switzerland's University of Lausanne and the Nestle Research Center, included 10 overweight or obese people identified before recruitment whose regular diets were low in calcium.
Study participants were randomly assigned to be given either placebo or 800 milligrams of dairy calcium daily for two five-week periods, separated by a 10-week washout phase.
Four weeks into the supplementation phases of the study, researchers performed a battery of tests designed to examine the impact of calcium on fat metabolism.
The tests revealed no differences between the people taking the placebo and the calcium in any of these measures, including resting energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and plasma-free fatty acid concentrations.
In addition, expression of seven key metabolic genes in biopsied fat tissue was not affected by calcium supplementation.
In an accompanying editorial, University of Copenhagen nutrition researcher Arne Astrup, MD, writes that the study makes a strong case against the hypothesis that calcium-controlled pathways in fat tissue help regulate body weight.
But he concludes that there is still good evidence indicating a role for dietary calcium in weight regulation.
The study and editorial appear in the October issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Access Proved Vital In Last-Minute Race For Clinton Pardons
By DON VAN NATTA Jr. and MARC LACEY
Published: February 25, 2001
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24— In a speech before the Arkansas Legislature on Jan. 17 on his final trip as president, Bill Clinton described his amazement at the last-minute avalanche of applications for pardons and prison-sentence commutations.
''We're still getting applications in the mail,'' Mr. Clinton told the legislators. ''It's crazy.''
Minutes after his speech, Mr. Clinton, the former Arkansas governor, visited his old office in the Statehouse, where several Arkansas legislators cornered him and made an impromptu appeal for a pardon for a former colleague. The legislators urged Mr. Clinton to pardon Lloyd George, a former state representative from Danville, Ark., a Clinton aide said. Mr. George was convicted in 1997 of mail fraud for selling an overpriced irrigation system to a state prison. He served nine months of home detention.
Three days after that legislators' plea, in Mr. Clinton's final hours in the White House, Mr. George received one of the president's 176 pardons and commutations, demonstrating that in some instances, applicants succeeded in getting quick results, as long as they had the right connection to Mr. Clinton.
While only a few supplicants got face-to-face meetings with Mr. Clinton in the final weeks of his administration, a wide array of private individuals, public relations firms, advocacy groups, officeholders, business executives, foreign leaders, campaign donors and even family members leaned on Mr. Clinton -- and people close to him -- for pardons on behalf of people convicted of a variety of felonies, including trafficking in large amounts of cocaine and rolling back the odometers of used cars.
In interviews with more than a dozen lawyers this week, a common ingredient became evident in the final group of pardons: access, either to the president or to the White House counsel's office. Without such entree, it was nearly impossible to argue the merits of clemency applications, many lawyers said.
Assistance was given by a wide array of people who topped the ''Friends of Bill'' list: Harry Thomason, the television producer; Terry McAuliffe, the longtime Clinton fund-raiser and recently elected Democratic National Committee chairman; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; and Harold M. Ickes, the former White House deputy chief of staff and senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton.
And applicants were willing to pay dearly for the right entree, given the six-figure fees charged by middlemen such as Hugh Rodham, Mrs. Clinton's brother, who worked on two clemency petitions, and Jack Quinn, the former White House counsel who represented Marc Rich, the fugitive commodities trader.
The Rich pardon is now under investigation by United States Attorney Mary Jo White in Manhattan and two Congressional panels, while Mr. Rodham's activities and $400,000 in fees (he said he returned the money) are also drawing scrutiny from Congressional investigators. ''You have to have help,'' said one Washington lawyer who was successful in securing a pardon but agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity. ''Clearly, there has to be a voice there pushing for your person, or you have absolutely no chance.''
The disclosure of the Rodham fee -- coupled with the disclosure this week that Roger Clinton, Mr. Clinton's half-brother, also lobbied unsuccessfully on behalf of six pardon applicants -- made it clear that some people thought the best access came through relatives of the president.
But Julia Payne, a spokeswoman for Mr. Clinton, rejected the argument that applicants with connections had a much better chance of success, saying Mr. Clinton rejected pardons despite heavy lobbying from major campaign contributors.
''If pardons were for sale, as some have alleged, then the list of those who received pardons and commutations would have been a lot different,'' Ms. Payne said.
In the last three months of Mr. Clinton's presidency, the Justice Department said it received more than 1,000 applications for pardons and commutations, the most ever received in a three-month period.
But that number does not include dozens of additional applications, such as Mr. George's, that were submitted directly to the White House, some just a few days before Mr. Clinton left office on Jan. 20. Usually, the pardon application process takes months or even years, but the flurry of last-minute applications left the Justice Department little or no time to conduct background checks or seek the comments of prosecutors.
Of the dozens of applications that bypassed the Justice Department, the president granted pardons to 31 people, and some of those cases were championed by close Clinton associates.
Several lawyers and fund-raisers attributed the pardon frenzy that engulfed the White House to the widespread publicity in December that Mr. Clinton was thinking about granting a pardon to the financier Michael Milken. In December, it was reported in The New York Times that Mr. Milken's application was supported by Ron Burkle, a California billionaire who has contributed millions of dollars to the Democratic Party. On one occasion, Mr. Burkle spoke with the president about a pardon for Mr. Milken. (Mr. Milken was not pardoned.)
