FROM JANUARY 2015's RECRUITER MAGAZINE
When the company announced in 2015 that its communications strategy moving forward would be "relentless and aggressive storytelling", its talent acquisition (TA) team had already clearly signed onto — or perhaps even initiated — the approach. They are, they claim proudly, "relentless seekers of the world's best talent".
As internal 'headhunting' takes its place at the company alongside targeting those external 'strategic hits' who currently play for the other 'sides', adidas is further stepping up its recruitment game with real-time analytics, cutting its average candidate response time from 17 to three days and evolving job profiles that better reflect 21st century skills as well as the components of the company's own strategic vision.
And on a sunny autumn morning, adidas is entering an advanced new phase of its bid for global domination in the talent stakes: more than two dozen new recruiters are starting at the company this particular Monday when Recruiter meets all but one of the global TA leadership team. The newbies are undergoing boot camp at the Herzo Base HQ in Herzogenaurach, near Nuremburg in Germany, and warming up to take on named and unnamed competitors for the world's most creative talent.
"From the beginning of the year [2015] until now, we've gone from 14 to 52 recruiters," explains Tom Hovington, the transplanted Yorkshire native who is adidas' director of TA HQ functions.
Hovington is a key player on the global TA leadership team led by Steve Bonomo, vice president, global TA. Rounding out the team are Tauna Dean, global search director; Steve Fogarty, director, TA Futures; and Hanna Nordell-Shirran, director, TA EMEA.
Of the new era, Hovington says: "For the first time ever, the people strategy is part of the business strategy."
Creating the New
In March 2015, adidas Group revealed a dramatic five-year strategic business plan centred around the theme 'Creating the New'. (An ancillary recruitment theme 'Calling all creators' serves as an irresistible call to action.) Geared to bring the company's brands adidas, Reebok, TaylorMade and now Runtastic closer to its consumers — "Brand is driving everything," says Hovington — the plan is based on three strategic pillars: Speed ("Fast in satisfying consumer needs, fast in internal decision-making"), Cities (growing "share of mind, market and trend" in New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Tokyo, London and Paris) and Open Source, or collaboration, with athletes, consumers and partners.
Launching running app 'adidas go' with music streaming provider Spotify last May was one of the "first outcomes" of the ramped-up Open Source strategy. And the starry list of collaborative partners to date counts luminaries Rita Ora, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Stella McCartney among its ranks.
But to build its foundation on more than just celebrity power and relationships with other cool brands, the company had signalled its recognition of a link between 'people' and 'business' a few months before with the appointment of Karen Parkin as the company's chief HR officer. Parkin previously ran the company's global supply chain function, and before that had held business development, sales and customer service roles at adidas — an untraditionally business-centred career path for an HR chief.
With Parkin's support to beef up TA activity and take it into new terrain, the senior TA team — of whom most have worked together for a number of years — knew they had to also up their own game to meet the company's raised expectations and compete against all comers as gold medal talent scouts who played to win. The aim: to identify and recruit people demonstrating behaviours of confidence, creativity and collaboration.
An organisation planning to launch "creative farms" around the world where designers might find themselves seated next to either a Kanye or a consumer to create the next amazing piece of sporting wear could accept nothing else. Especially when "every single person at adidas is being asked how they can make a difference", Hovington says. "Everyone has a responsibility to do this."
"We'd always brought in great talent — but could we do that consistently?" asks TA global leader Steve Bonomo, visiting Herzo Base from his home turf of Portland, Oregon. "Now every hire you make is absolutely critical. We needed dedicated recruitment people working on everything."
Proactive recruiting
Resolved last June with an undisclosed settlement, the much vaunted poaching episode — which led to Nike's $10m (£6.6m) legal claim against designers Denis Dekovic, Marc Dolce and Mark Miner lured away by adidas and the designers' subsequent counter claim against Nike — highlighted "proactive recruiting" in the highly competitive marketplace. Bonomo estimates that proactive recruitment amounts to about 25% of all talent acquisition at the company yet is still in its infancy. "But it's probably twice the amount it was before," he adds.
As the business continues its shift in a new world order, the way high-powered talent is recruited also must acclimatise to market conditions. Sometimes that may involve recruiting people that offer the company great potential but for whom a job might not exist at the moment. "Getting talent is becoming far more complex than it was," acknowledges Steve Fogarty, TA's futures specialist. "Everything's changing, the stakes are higher."
However, it's not only external proactive recruiting that has caused controversy at adidas; inside jobs have also "caused conversations about talent management in the business", Hovington says wryly.
One aspect of adidas' increasingly forceful talent strategy, as championed by the TA team, has been to proactively look inside for bright lights to fill roles within the company, or, as Hovington puts it, "controversially — effectively internal headhunting, looking up profiles and pushing jobs".
For several years, TA had fought unsuccessfully for more freedom to tap into its own talent pool for other roles. However, with strategic changes underway at adidas, the tide turned and the company recognised the value of encouraging internal mobility to retain and develop its own people. The alternative was not appealing. As Hovington points out: "We can't stop Nike coming along and pushing a job to our people."
Now, says Hovington, "we always go to our own talent first". The approach is seen now by most at adidas as a positive means of helping the workforce develop their careers. Even the influential Works Council, which represents all employees at adidas, is now on board.
Talent Carousel
Internal mobility takes on global implications through the company's new Talent Carousel initiative, for which current employees in sales and marketing jobs apply to experience roles in different geographic markets for two years. After two years, the participant can choose to stay in the role, return to the previous job and location or go on to another round of talent movement.
A mentor is one of the benefits for the chosen participants, who applied by providing a reference, writing a compelling cover letter and, in an unusual type of assessment, putting together a small display in a shoebox illustrating the applicant's aspirations.
Although the first Talent Carousel round was limited to sales and marketing employees, the plan is to open the opportunity up to other departments as well.
In addition to the appointment of Parkin in the top HR role, another top-level executive appointment two years ago has catalysed TA's role in the company as a critical function. Eric Liedtke has been tipped as a potential successor to current chief executive Herbert Hainer and previously held leading sports performance and footwear roles at adidas. Put in charge of global brands on the company's executive board, Liedtke is also behind the huge reorganisation and restrategising underway at the company. With Liedtke at the helm of brands and gunning for greater market share in the Nike-dominated US market, Fogarty says there is more impetus for TA to be disruptive.
Recruitment futures
Also based in Portland along with Bonomo, Fogarty's futures domain includes digital/analytics, employer brand and the somewhat vaguely named 'recruitment excellence', which he describes as "enabling, embedding, bringing to life recruitment programmes, policies and how we communicate".
His role involves considerable exploration and, as he puts it: "I tend to completely blow up everything and re-engineer things. If we can't shock the system and ourselves out into the unknown, we can't be innovative."
An in-house design studio that will be treated as a start-up is on the horizon. But the most significant focus for Fogarty at the moment is analytics. adidas has built its own digital analytics dashboard that allows TA head Bonomo to "see any team around the world, real-time comparisons at any time, what are the candidates saying about us". By mid-2016, Fogarty expects TA's analytics to be more sophisticated than in "a lot of other parts of the business".
While there's a tough match to be played and won in the battle for hearts, minds and global markets, particularly the US, what Fogarty refers to as "this scrappy little team" is clearly in it to win, and to win as a real team.
Says Bonomo: "In sports, you win or you go home. We grew up in environments that were highly competitive — that's what we've been doing our whole lives."
"The fact that we're friends — our culture breeds it," Fogarty says. "We have an environment that breeds friendships." And he adds: "We've been through a lot together. We all challenge the status quo."

On Tuesday's (Feb. 15) episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson stops by to talk about old times ("Dude, come back! I do miss you!") and then he jokes that he wasn't sure what was going on the first time he sat down to tape auditions.
"When we started that first audition city in Jersey, it was so bizarre because I'd look across the panel and you weren't there, Kara wasn't there, SImon wasn't there. I was like, 'What show are we on?'" laughs Jackson.
He then says that he's happy with new judges Steven Tyler and Jenifer Lopez.
"I was [Steven's] champion from the beginning because I thought you needed something unpredictable. He's a rock legend … we're legends from the modeling word," laughs Jackson, indicating himself and DeGeneres. "But he's a legend from the music world."
And J.Lo is "a true triple threat. She's an actress, dancer, singer, performer. She's got it down."
But he thinks his "E," has he calls Ellen, should stop by to "do some funny guest thing."
Ellen hesitantly says, "Yeah, I'll come back. I'll do a guest thing."
We aren't sure she meant it, but we would welcome her back for a guest spot. What do you think, "Idol" fans?

The New Testament is a book of what St. Paul once called "God's many-sided wisdom"(Eph3:10), wisdom that is central to diaconal ministry. In this two-part "flyover" of the New Testament, we will explore each book's promise and challenge for our call to do the work of the ministry: "to make Christ and his redemptive love known" where we "live, and work, and worship", … and "to interpret to the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world."
The Rev. Canon Dr. Justin Holcomb, The Rev. Andrew Petiprin
Heresy dominates many conversations these days. The frequency and volume of accusations suggest that some Christians have lost a sense of the gravity of the word. On the other hand, many believers have little to no familiarity with orthodox doctrine or the historic distortions of it. This course provides an accessible "travel guide" to the most significant heresies throughout Christian history.
The Rev. Jonathan French
This course will consider why leadership matters in the church, biblical models of leadership, whether or not you're a leader, and how to attract more leaders both like and unlike you. This course offers an entirely new and fresh perspective on leading.

Dave's 88-year-old father has been involved in the space program most of his career. We have always been interested and supportive of the space program and the benefits that it has brought to all humankind. When Dave served as John Denver's environmental and political advisor, support for the space program was one of his top six priorities.
Recently, at the Kennedy Space Center, Dave picked up an Apollo 13 hat for his dad. It had the wording, "Failure is not an Option". The hat seemed fitting as his dad had been told a couple years ago that he had only three days to live. He didn't accept the prognosis and sought other treatment. For him failure was not an option so the hat seemed quite fitting for him to wear in the event he has to go to the hospital again.
Recently we heard a podcast where the NASA Space program was used as a metaphor for how we might better respond to critical environmental issues of our time.
This naturally caught our attention.
The story begins with the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. This was the mission where Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. The landing for this mission was tense and uncertain but they made it. The famous words were spoken by Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
The Apollo 12 mission then followed with a second successful mission to the moon.
The astronauts were able to land much easier this time, spend more time on the moon, and gained more knowledge, skills, and furthered the NASA Apollo project.
Apollo 13 began its journey to the moon with the goal of further gains. Once again the launch was successful. Before the crew could land on the moon an explosion crippled the service module. The famous words were then relayed, "Houston, we have a problem".
At first there was disbelief in Houston; the thinking was that some technical glitch was probably just giving false information. 15 full minutes past before Mission Control in Houston realized this was now a critical life and death crisis.
At that point the Apollo 13 mission was abandoned and the new mission was survival. The astronauts had to shift their priorities to the all out task of making the space craft life sustaining until they could return to Earth. This meant they needed to conserve water, get the carbon dioxide out of the air they were breathing, conserve the energy from the batteries, conserve the air needed for the last hours of the journey, learn how to adapt to uncomfortable temperature changes, conserve the limited potable water, and find ways to use the resources of the lunar module not for exploration but as a lifeboat for their survival.
Despite the great challenge and uncertainty of the return voyage, failure to both Mission Control and the astronauts was not an option.
With Mission Control putting all their focus on a new mission, and the courage and support for each other among the astronauts, all were brought home safely to what NASA called a "successful failure".
Our state of planet Earth continues to become more perilous as we are fast approaching and in some cases have already surpassed the planetary boundaries for sustainability.
Today, we are threatened with many challenges that science has labeled our planetary boundaries. In an article in Nature, Johan Rocstrom and his co-authors argue that to avoid catastrophic environmental change, humanity must stay within defined planetary boundaries. If one boundary is transgressed, then safe levels for other processes could also be under serious risk. The planetary boundaries include: climate change, ocean acidification, atmospheric aerosol loading, chemical pollution, land system changes, ozone depletion, overload of phosphorus and nitrates, and decreasing fresh water resources.
Just as the Apollo 13 mission aborted its original goals and its passengers focused on their own survival boundaries, crew aboard Spaceship Earth are being called to change their mission in order to live within our planetary boundaries. There is a need to abort the mission of business as usual to a new mission of creating a sustainable planet that functions within the limits of the planetary boundaries.
Like the astronauts aboard Apollo 13 this will mean using our resources more creatively, making sure our air is clean without to much ozone or carbon emissions, that there is potable drinking water for all, that chemicals don't contaminate the space ships water and food supply, and all passengers are able to be able to have the basic survival needs to complete the journey.
Like the 15 minute pause in Houston where there was disbelief that the Apollo space craft was in trouble despite the warning signs, there has been the same kind of disbelief among many that Spaceship Earth is in trouble.
The question now is: Will enough people on Spaceship Earth realize that we have already exceeded some of the planetary boundaries and are dangerously close to exceeding others? Like the Apollo astronauts we need to change our mission.
There are some important lessons that we can learn from the Apollo 13 experience including:
- The importance of creating a shared vision among the crew members of Spaceship Earth. In the Apollo 13 story, Mission Control set a new mission that failure was not an option and Apollo Commander James Lovell let the other crew members know "I intend to go home". This new shared vision created a context for better solving the problems. Creating a shared vision for a sustainable planet where people live within the planetary boundaries may be half the battle.
Scientists from around the world have sounded the alarm. Many in government, higher education, NGO's, and business sectors have started to respond. Some encouraging examples include:
- In government, the United Nations Environment Programme is in the process of completing it's 5th Global Outlook Report (GEO-5), a process that engages scientists from around the world to detail the needs of the planet and set an agenda for what needs to be done. The warnings of the last report, GEO-4, have been largely ignored.
To bring back the Apollo 13 crew safely, it took the cooperation of mission control, the astronauts, and many supporting scientists and other experts to use the ship's resources wisely.
Imagine if there was a coordinated effort of uncompromising integrity between governments, institutions of higher education, NGO's, and corporations. Imagine if they all worked together with a shared vision to have Spaceship Earth return to operation within safe planetary boundaries.
The simple truth is that like the Apollo 13 team, it will take bold leadership willing to acknowledge that we have serious problems on planet Earth, are willing to work to create a shared vision, sense of community, a positive culture that is committed to success, and that they really get it, that failure is not an option.

Dozens of Pakistani soldiers have been found with their throats slashed after three days of fierce fighting with Islamic militants near the Afghan border.
The clashes have been the deadliest since the country threw its support behind the US-led war on terrorism in 2001 with a total of around 200 dead on both sides.
The dead soldiers were found in deserted areas of North Waziristan after reports yesterday that 50 went missing in attacks by Taliban and al Qaida fighters.
The fighting comes as President Musharraf tries to secure another term, vowing to shore up Pakistan's effort against Islamic extremism.
But his troops are suffering mounting losses as they try to re-assert authority in a swath of mountainous territory where warlords backing the militants have seized control.
Battles in North Waziristan have killed 150 fighters and 45 soldiers since Saturday, an army statement said.
Another 15 troops are missing, it added.
Security forces have rejected a ceasefire proposed by the militants and will "continue punitive action till complete peace is restored" in the area, it said.
Pakistan struck a controversial ceasefire deal with militants in North Waziristan last year. The US criticised the pact, claiming it gave a safe haven for al Qaida and provided a rear base for Taliban guerrillas fighting Nato troops in Afghanistan.
In July, Pakistan's army redeployed soldiers at key checkpoints in the region, sparking fresh hostilities.
A local intelligence official said the latest fighting started on Saturday when a roadside bombing killed one paramilitary soldier and wounded 12 travelling in a truck.
When five vehicles of army troops went to the bomb site on Sunday to retrieve the truck, about 300 militants ambushed them, killing 22 troops and wounding 11. Others were captured alive.
Villagers in Isu Khel and nearby Melagan said they had spotted soldiers bodies in deserted areas and the side of the road linking Mir Ali with Miran Shah.
Many of the victims had their throats cut, they said.Reuse content

Customer Reviews:
Reebok Edge Hockey Jersey Black & White Sr
Comments: Very nice quality material, and it looks great. Unfortunately, the arms are very narrow and get hung up on my elbow pads. I lined up the arms with my Bauer practice jersey, which cost half as much, the Bauer arms were about 2 inches wider in diameter. Both are a men's large.
From: Tim, Chicago, IL
Comments: Great fit. Feel awesome and look awesome!
From: Peter, PA
Comments: Overall a nice practice jersey, but the fit seems to be bigger (much longer in the front, back and sleeve length) than the previous version of the RBK practice jersey. Also the quality of the fabric is lighter and thinner than the previous version.
From: Moritz, Muenster, Germany
Comments: Love these jerseys. They fit true to the sizing charts provided. They feel awesome and a very light weight.
From: RJG, Arizona

I grinned when I saw your #5.
Wouldn't be a true Phyrra faves list if there wasn't a good rich teal. 🙂
Taking advantage of the UD Ocho Loco deal which should be arriving soon, I hope the list will include some of them. I also have a few TT liners on order as well. Eyeliner is somewhat of a foreign product to me other than my two standard brown and black gel liners from MAC. I have issues with creamy liners travelling to parts where they shouldn't with my hooded lids and overall,I guess, slick eye parts top and bottom! I would really like to learn to love and play with a much greater colour range and find products that are going to work and stay put on me without transfer. So, for now, I only have 2 liners on my list that I have used in the present and the past and they are MAC fluidline and MUFE Aqua eyes (not so fond of the waxiness and it's a little rough during application). Any thoughts on the following fluidline colours: Macroviolet and Glitz and Blitz?? I am looking forward to the other comments on this topic.
I have similar issues, and Stila smudge sticks actually work remarkably well for me. They need to be allowed to set for a bit, but I have actually not had too much trouble with traveling after that. TT works pretty well for me, too.
That's good to hear! I do have a Stila smudge stick in my arsenal, but it's been sitting unused for so many years I'm afraid to use it. When I was riding competitively, I didn't wear eyeliner at all unless I wanted raccoon eyes. I remember it did have excellent staying power. I will definitely check them out again. Thanks 🙂 for the feedback on TT as well. I bought a number of colours, but plan to use those on my lower lashline only and it's not as frightfully greasy as my upper lid.
UD Junkie
Milani- Brown one
Loreal Hip Chrome whatever- purple one
Loreal Hip Chrome whatever- gold one, very similar to Honey
UD Honey.
I bought UD Honey because of Christine. I asked UD counter to sell me their demo since they no longer sell that color. Why do you like UD Honey, Christine?

Hmm, I don't really have five favorite eyeliners!
I use black gel/liquid liner for my upper lash/waterline systematically, but brand doesn't really matter too much there (I've tried the Maybelline and Bobbi Brown gel, and they both work fantastically for me).
When it comes to my lower lash line that's when I get more creative. My absolute favorite is Urban Decay Stash. That seems to be one pencil liner that I can incorporate with a lot of the looks! I also adore UD Rockstar as well as more basic shades like Zero and Whiskey.
1) Bobbi Brown Gel liner – lasts long and is a very dark deep black.
2) Maybelline Drama Gel liner – amazing new find. Lasts all day, applies like a cream, highly-pigmented and beautifully black. My HG.
3) Giorgio Armani Smooth silk eye pencil
4) Zara Eye Kohl pencil (discontinued) – my HG that had to be replaced, the best pencils ive ever used. No smudging, lovely deep colour.
5) MAC Smoulder – last choice only because this smudges on my lids.
WORST – TOM Ford Gel liniers – they chip away even during application.
I'm afraid mine are going to be rather dull/repetitive color-wise, but here they are, in no particular order:
1. Sephora Flashy Eyeliner Waterproof in Ultra Brown
2. MAC Teddy
3. UD 24/7 in Rockstar
4. Givenchy Magic Kajal in black (1)- this was LE and it's extremely smudgy so needs to be either set with powder or, well, smudged, but it's the blackest, most pigmented pencil I've found to date. Pretty high maintenance though.
5. Essence Gel Eyeliner – brown (can't recall the exact name, something to do with London, I think).
Stila – Stingray (for the waterline)
Estée Lauder – Coffee (waterline)
Lancôme – Café
Nars – Via Veneto
Urban Decay -Stray Dog (love the color)
Lise Watier Smokey Brown Eyeshine Liner
Gosh Velvet Touch Liner in Truly Brown
Gosh Velvet Touch Liner in Metallic Brass
Gosh Velvet Touch Liner in Black Ink (or Ink Black)
Rimmel Exaggerate Liner in Emerald Sparkle
MUFE Aqua Eyes 0L Black
L'oreal Infallible in Black Brown
Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in Vibrant Violet
Too Faced Perfect Eyes in Perfect Moss
Bobbi Brown Gel liner in Caviar Ink
1. UD 24/7 in Rockstar
2. MAC Gel Eyeliner in Blacktrack
3. Barry M Metallic Liquid Eyeliner in Gold
4. 17 Liquid Eyeliner
… I don't have a fifth. If I was choosing more than one colour from each type I'd probably say UD 24/7 in Covet, but I can't think of another brand. Soap & Glory's Supercat eyeliner is *nice* but it migrates and smudges on me. :/
Also the loss of Honey is a devastating thing. Eldorado is just not the same.
Urban Decay Stray Dog
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Blackened Mauve Shimmer Ink
Urban Decay Demolition
MAC Powersurge (also great to use as a base for gold based eyeshadows)
NARS Le Stylo in Atlantic
1. Mac Teddy
2. Mac Blitz & Glitz
3. Urban Decay Delinquent
4. Joe Fresh Turquoise – a perfect match to Tattoo Eyes Tenacious Teal
5. Gosh Golden Globe
I'm anxiously waiting for my Ocho Loco set to arrive….the more I want, the slower the mail… 🙁
UD Stray Dog
Mac prunella
Mac teddy
UD perversion
Maybelline master drama liquid liner
I'd say…
-Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner in INK
-MUA waterproof eyeliner (is the best i've ever used. Really. Totally recomended. Is even soap proof!!!)
-MAC Buttery
-AVON Supershock
that's it.. D:
I don't really have a "Top 5", since I really only use one on a regular basis, which is L'Oreal Lineur Intense (brush tip) in black. I also really like MAC Fluidline in Delineate, although it's a PITA to use (the color makes the effort worthwhile). Stargazer makes wonderful liquid liners, as well, and they're very inexpensive (the only issue I have with the brand is I have to order from the UK, so it's a bit annoying). As for pencil liners, again, I have to go with L'Oreal; WnW & Maybelline (the red pencils) are my HG's for brows ATM.
1. Essence gel liner in black
2. Kat Von D tattoo liquid liner in Trooper (black)
3. YSL Cream Eyeliner in 04 Sea Black (navy)
4. MAC fluidline in Dipdown (brown)
5. Urban Decay 24/7 Perversion (black)
ud perversion
mac smolder
mac feline
prestige black
bobbi brown dual-ended all of them
Hmmmm…I don't know if I have a top 5. But my top brand is UD 24/7 Liners…and right now, I'm loving the Ocho Loco set. Plus until recently, I tended to stick to black or brown liners. It wasn't until I started using UD that I really used liner anyway. I owned them but didn't really care for any of them so I would usually skip them. So my 5 list isn't really concrete…except for #1 lol.
1. Perversion (top fave!)
2. Psychedelic Sister (loved a look I did with it)
3. Whiskey
4. Bourbon
5. Binge
Kesha, I'm with you. Love UD Perversion and most all the others too.
I gave away every Zero I had (I swear it seemed like the most abused "free" liner in the world lol) because it looks so blah in comparison lol. There may be better pencils out there but I'm happy so I haven't bothered looking any more!

The teams are so named because the pirate culture was associated with the coast of the Carolinas. In fact, many legends and famous pirates have originated from here, including the infamous Blackbeard who resided in the Bath areas of the coast. The team's mascot has been inspired by a stern looking bearded man with an eye patch, a purple hat, a yellow bandana and an earring.
Thus it was in 1934 that the name of the teams was officially chosen as the Pirates. This was chosen through a contest that took place throughout the campus. Students pitched in ideas for the names and mascots. Along with the team's name, the mascot design was also finalized to be "Pee Dee the Pirate." Pee Dee was chosen after the name of the river that flows across the North and South states. This was the area where the pirates would settle down before going aboard their journeys. The students at the university in the later years, however, were not too fond of the name. Therefore in 1985, it was decided that the team's name be shortened to a simpler "The Pirates". Pee Dee and other variations such as Petey are still used for the mascot.
Basketball at East Carolina University is one sport that is played popularly among both males and females. It was first played as a men's sport in 1953. Although the team ended up losing, it showed a lot of potential and thus was inducted as a regular sports team for the university. Since then, the team has made an appearance at the NCAA Tournament. The team members have gone ahead to play for professional teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz. Women's basketball is also very famous amongst the students. Heather Macy is the team's coach and has led them towards much success, including a 19-16 record. This team has seldom lost a match.
Sports season will begin once again for the university at the start of the term for which East Carolina Pirates tickets are now available. So get them booked before they sell out.

The other day I watched a movie about a young girl who was an excellent ice skater and how hard she had to work to achieve her goal leading her team to the state championships.
I, too, used to ice skate as a child, and although there never was any danger of me being a champion, the way my brothers and sisters and I performed on the ice did create some great memories.
Every winter as the temperature dropped closer and closer to that zero degree mark, the ice would begin to form on the two large stock ponds on our family farm. The largest of those ponds was very deep and fed by a spring. Because the water in that pond was constantly moving the ice rarely got thick enough to be safe and we forbidden from going there, but the other pond was shallow and fed by runoff from the nearby hills and by January, the ice covering it was usually eight or 10 inches thick and made for great skating.
Because we didn't have much money, mom and dad was never able to purchase a new pair of skates for each of us kids, but what we did have was a single pair of boys skates which I'm pretty sure dad bought at an auction for 50 cents or so.
Still, cheap and used as they were, I remember those skates very fondly.
I'm not sure what size they were, but I do know that by the time we were nine or 10 years old they fit us pretty well, with a little help from some newspaper stuffed in the toes. And, by the time we reached 12 or 13 we could no longer squeeze our feet into them. Still we had a lot of fun during the two or three years we managed to get them on.
Back in those days, when the temperature dropped below freezing for two or three days in a row mom would send dad out to test the ice on the pond and, if it were thick enough to be safe, would allow us to spend the afternoon pretending we had the skills as one of our movie heroines, Sonja Henie.
The first thing we did when we arrived at the pond was sweep the ice clear of snow then polish the surface with couple of feed sacks until it gleamed, then which ever one of the older kids was in charge would lay out the order in which we were to take turns trying out our skills on the ice.
Each person was allotted a 15 or 20-minute turn while the rest of us looked on in envy.
Once we donned the skates the first few minutes were usually a pretty wobbly proposition, punctuated by a fall or two, but once we mastered staying on our feet and moving safely across the ice, there wasn't one of us who didn't attempt to emulate Sonja by trying a spin or jump.
I don't remember any broken bones that resulted from those attempts, but there were some pretty colorful bruises.
I'm don't know what eventually happened to those skates, no doubt they simply wore out from overuse. But, in the long run their fate was of little consequence anyway since no matter how hard we tried none of us ever achieved their expertise to pose a threat to Sonja's reign as the Olympic champion and I double every much if any of us would have even qualified for a team, let alone a championship one.

Dec 2016 - $18.00
Very nice, clean and spacious FamCamp. Sites are level asphalt and extra long. Park is arranged with 6 circles and 8 sites in each circle. Free wi-fi which can be spotty and no cable, but we used our satellite with no problem. Small patio and picnic table. Lots of trees for shade, laundry and a fishing lake all on site. The base is huge, 25,000 acres, with just a very small part being used. So, lots of wide open spaces and plenty of room to walk the dogs or ride your bike. Small commissary and exchange on base and also a movie theater and bowling alley. About a 20 min. ride into Yuba City which has all the major stores. Very quiet place with not a lot to do, but great for a nice restful visit. - travelswithpuppies
Oct 2011 - $15.00
Totally agree with previous review. Beautiful park. Camp host is very friendly and accommodating. Spaces are level and spaces are well spaced. Wi-Fi works great. Only problem we encountered was some time of interference with our TV's and satellite. Apparently something to do with PAVE/PAWS. Couldn't not receive a decent signal on our TV antenna, thus no local stations. Even with these problems, will stay here again. - vwbluestar
Apr 2011 - $14.00
Rate is for active and retired military. We love this campground! They have a very unique setup - 6 pods with 7 spaces each like spokes on a wheel with a lot of space in between. Paved, very level parking for your rig with grass all around. Picnic tables are on a cement slab. Hook-ups were easy and well-placed, but the TV antenna doesn't pull in any stations and there is no cable. It is very peaceful here, one wouldn't know they were on a base except for revile at 6:30 in the morning and the national anthem at 5pm and all those cute little young kids jogging by in formation. We have heard some target practice, but not enough to annoy us. Cows are grazing, rabbits are hoping & birds are chirping - the sound of freedom rings occasionally from the skies above. We only planned to stay 12 days and may change that to stay a month. You are pretty isolated out here but Sacramento is only an hour away and there are some other smaller cities close by. - Bill & Debby's Wild Ride

Campground is not as bad as I had read. The lake was way down and very muddy. It was 7 miles to fuel and a small town. Sites do have some shade but are not level. There are limited rest rooms: kind of clean with no showers. Noisy after 10! We stayed in the RV section and it was more tame then the tent sites. We wouldn't come back. - Tredguy

This park is getting better every time we stay here. We use this park as a base camp every year, and we have watched it improve with every visit. The county has now placed an on-site caretaker here, and they continue to make improvements. It is very quiet here during January and we noticed that the locals are not abusing the facilities any more. If you are in a big rig, be aware of overhanging tree limbs and a few tight turns though. We navigated it with a 36' fifth wheel with some minor difficulty. Slim to none opportunity to find a satellite with a roof mounted unit, portable units will work better at finding a hole through the many Sycamore trees. Bathrooms have been upgraded with tile and new fixtures, but they still are not kept very clean. - americana36
Jan 2012 - $20.00
This park is now owned and operated by Yuba County. They have cleaned the place up, paved the roads and sites and removed all permanent residents which has greatly improved the appearance of this park. It is now a decent over-nite or short stay park. No on-site host and there appears to be little to no security here. Bathrooms are still dirty and many non guests from the area use them extensively. It is still very tight navigating the roads with a big rig due to the overhanging tree branches. - americana36
May 2009 - $34.00
The campground is fairly old but we had a great stay last year. Managers last year were new and very friendly and helpful (don't know why they left but sure missed them; seems the new managers didn't want to talk about them). When we told them the bathroom was dirty they said they cleaned it every morning, but didn't seem to care if it needed looked at later in the day. The sites needed mowed and fallen branches picked up, which we did at our site! The man that is the manager is rude and scruffy. One worker was very nice, but the other was curt and didn't seem to know what she was doing. When asked a question she had to ask someone else. Didn't seem like there was much security either; last year the managers were walking or driving around making sure everything was OK until quiet time. Probably won't go back as we planned in July. Looking for some place nice. - MaeAlice

Overnight stay with late arrival. Called for gate code, but was not directed to a gate. Drove around grounds twice before trying the livestock gate, code worked. Site is large grass area with trees down lane. Sites far apart and very little lighting, so coming in dark not easy , and some areas soft from watering. Facilities were fairground standards, few spiders but usable. Water was not marked and hard to find, until morning when staff came by. Staff friendly, but hard to find. Will stay again when in area probably. No site amenities so bring your own. - jimNann

We stayed here only one night but it was refreshing. You park on green grass in a big field. There are trees but we pulled out into the field a little farther and was able to get satellite reception. There weren't any activities happening there so it was quiet and there were only 5 campers in the whole area. For the money it was a great place to stay for a short period of time. They do lock the gate after 4 PM, but they give you a code so you can come back in or go out as needed. - kemosabe

This is not a destination RV park at all, but rather a park with many permanent residents. The place is older but kept very nicely as were the permanent sites. Friendly staff guided us to our spot. Level gravel site, newer electrical posts, and good water and sewer hookups. No cable, and with the large shade trees, satellite signal is iffy. We were able to pull in "on air" TV with our bat wing antenna. Convenient to downtown Yuba City and Marysville. Relatively quiet at night. Clean laundry, restrooms, and showers. We stayed here for 3 nights and would stay here again. - Nevadatripin

The staff were extremely friendly. They recommended a Chinese restaurant in town that we walked to. It was excellent. The park was extremely clean. The rate was a Good Sam. We were just driving through, so we only stayed one night. It was a quiet park and we had no issues. We didn't make reservations and we were lucky they had only one site available.

This park could really use some help. The sites are muddy and not level. It was quiet, that's about all the good I can say. There is a small lake near the campground and there are MANY geese here and there is goose poop EVERYWHERE. You can hardly step out of the RV without stepping in it! Our dog was in heaven! The grass was long and hadn't been mowed for quite a while. There was only 20 and 50 amp service (no 30?) The price was very high for what you got and they even wanted to charge you $10 for a picnic table! It is nice to be able to walk around the nice fairgrounds when there is nothing going on there. We had to wait for the camp host to return for quite a while when we arrived since she was on a break and just had a sign which read "back in a few minutes". Our reservations were a little messed up. They gave our reserved site to someone else so we really didn't know where to go. This park needs more organization and definitely more maintenance. Could be really nice with some TLC. - Eagle4

Very nice setting. Trees, small lake and very close to Grass Valley. Has full hook ups but we on occasion dry camp. There's lots of great places to do that. Many tall pine trees so if dish is important let them know. They know the hook up sites that work.
If you want a picnic table, they rent at $10. - Bobcat1

Positives: Small and wonderful lake for fishing, kayaking, boating, and swimming. The majority of campsites seemed to be shaded. Lakeside campsites provide fairly easy access to the lake. Wonderful ice cream at the store for cheap! In general, the campground staff was friendly and helpful. Negatives: Camped here during Labor Day weekend (mistake). It was way too crowded. Loud campers with no camping etiquette all around us made for a less than pleasant experience. Only a small handfull of sewer sites throughout the campground for RV'ers. WiFi and cell phone coverage is only available around the store; it does not reach the campsites. - Urbanthesis

I read the other reviews with some trepidation before finally deciding to come.
This is a perfectly paved, well-groomed park. I did not come into any conflict with the rule enforcer, if there is someone by that description.
The only small disadvantage is the distant local traffic noise on one side and the busy small airport on the other. - LarryJohnston

If you enjoying actual camping, rather than RV camping, this is a beautiful place. If you don't need an internet or cell signal, or are willing to give up sewer for those, this is a beautiful place.
But since this is a review on a website for RVers, I would not recommend it. My first day here was frustrating beyond belief.
The only sewer available is in X section (note that that section is not available to the public). There supposedly are a few sewer sites in the other sections, but by "a few", I mean "2 or 3", and good luck. Furthermore, there isn't even 1 dump station for every section, and these sections are really spread out.
Here's the lowdown on cell and internet, because I got mislead by other reviews: If you need internet or cell phone service for work, just don't come here, period. The ONLY sections where there is a usable signal (ie, more than 2 bars of 3G) are the top of D section and parts of I section.
Here's the problem with that: About HALF of D section has no electricity. While I was pulling into a spot there, an annual 2 spaces away was nice enough to come tell me before I had leveled, etc., that the space I'd chosen actually had no power, in spite of the lack of a sign; and that, furthermore, unless I had a power booster, I was probably better off not staying in that whole section because the power supply was so bad. (He didn't volunteer this to get rid of me - he told me when I asked him.) H section was closed so we could not check for sewer or data signal there.
If you only need a cell phone occasionally, and are able to deal with dial-up speeds from your Jetpack, and don't need sewer, you might just really like this place. But if you want a sewer site (and also don't care about your Verizon signal) and don't want to pay an extra 5 bucks a night for it, you're still rolling the dice, because they also loaded up the X section with 50 amps sites. (11 of the 40 sites there are 50 amp.)
I wish someone had told me all this before I planned my spring around this campground! - Karen On The Road

This is a Thousand Trails facility. We stayed as a guest. It's a very large campground with 6-7 different loops you can choose from. If you want cell phone service you need to stay in on of the loops higher on a hill that is closer to the entrance. The other loops are much lower and somewhat hidden in a small valley. Campground is rustic and wild looking with somewhat harder sites to pull into and very curvy access roads. Lots and lots of trees. We saw deer roaming through the campground every day. We stayed in November, so it was quite cool during the day and very cold at night (in the 30s). Water & electricity on most sites, but only a few sites with sewer. They do have a dual dump station as you exit. Very remote site, with a few very small 2-3 building towns nearby. - San Diego Traveler

This is one of the nicer TT parks I stay in. Rustic camp setting which I really like, lots of shade trees, gravel sites need some leveling, some pull through sites, most sites have only water and electric only. Lodge with adult area, pool tables, and plenty for kids to do as well. There is a pool and lake access for fishing, small on site store in case you forgot something. - Tony T

This could be a GREAT park in that it surrounds a nice size lake for fishing and kayaking/peddle boating. It is pretty rundown though and it does not seem like they are trying to improve it like many of the other TT parks we have been to lately.
Our camping site was level with good 30amp power, water, and shade. - Bay Area Early retirees
Aug 2016 - $1.00
First impressions: quieter than I thought it would be. Arrived on Thursday and was lucky to get a perfect spot. Kids enjoyed the lake (fishing, paddle boating and swimming). Obviously was an older campground that is being improved. No pool, but can swim in lake. No sewer hookups where we parked. Not really a destination, but a pass through, unless you live in Sacramento. - Cautiously Optimistic
Jun 2016 - $1.00
Like many other Thousand Trails parks, this one needs a lot of maintenance. The putt-putt course is basically unplayable, the septic system that serves the full-hookups section is undersized or just broken and full-hookups sites can only dump every other day, all of the buildings show major signs of age and wear. However, we had fun here. A stroll around the lake is pleasant. There are two playground -- both very minimal and in need of repair -- but out kids enjoyed them. The family clubhouse has been updated and is nice and clean. We'd stay again, but good glory I wish they'd fix the issue with the full hookups sites. - JPen365

2 Thoughts on "Exchange 2010 sp3 and Backup Exec"
Hi I'm standing in for someone and looking after the his sbs2011 server.
Exchange is playing up and I just want to re-start it. Not quite like going to an exchange server itself and doing a restart. How do you do it with one of these without shutting down the rest of the stuff?
Just restart anything that says "Exchange" in it.

...how do you prove someone is breaking the law, if the technology they are using to do so didn't even exist when the law was written?
...how do you prove someone is breaking the law, if the technology they are using to do so didn't even exist when the law was written?
In 1992, the Cable Television Protection and Competition Act passed the U.S. Congress by an overwhelming, bi-partisan majority and established "retransmission consent" requiring cable operators and content distributors to obtain permission from broadcasters before airing original content. The law meant that the cable systems had to pay to carry broadcaster's programming.
It reflected that age-old concept: Person A makes something Person B wants or needs and Person B offers something of equal value—usually money—for the right to use, access or own that good or service.
In recent years however, there has been a significant shift in how we define ownership. The internet is a virtual wonderland of free, shareable content right at our finger tips. This makes the legal lines between copyright infringement and fair use increasingly blurry. On the internet, the overwhelming consensus seems to be that nothing is really yours or mine. It's ours. Anything online is communal property to which everyone has equal rights.
While broadcast television is still very much alive, the industry has had to make some serious adjustments as Americans spend more time in front of a computer screen rather than a TV screen. It is at this intersection of broadcast and digital where we are starting to see a major legal divide.
On one hand we have the broadcasters—those who invest a great deal of time, money and resources into creating original content. On the other hand we have the "content aggregators" and others who use technology to distribute that content to end users on a massive scale and hope that their methods evade copyright laws.
Broadcasters have always been well protected by copyright laws but new technologies have been developed for the express purpose of circumventing the broadcasters' rights. After all, how do you prove someone is breaking the law, if the technology they are using to do so didn't even exist when the law was written?
This question was recently brought before the U.S. Supreme Court by way of American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. v. Aereo, Inc.
Aereo offers a new and cheap way to access live television, without having to buy a cable subscription, or even a TV. Using a series of small antennas, Aereo streams over-the-air signals to subscribers, allowing them to watch and record programs on any computer or mobile device for the small, monthly fee of just $8.
Sounds great, right?
It is, until you consider that the technology employed by Aereo may allow the company to evade copyright laws, meaning its entire business model may be based on selling Americans stolen content on a massive scale.
Unlike Netflix and Hulu, Aereo does not pay a single penny to the creators of the content they are sharing. Instead, the company pioneered technology that, in the words of Chief Justice John Roberts, "is based solely on circumventing legal prohibitions that [they] don't want to comply with."
It sounds like an open and shut case of copyright violation, but there's a caveat. The law distinguishes between material used for "public" performances and "private" performances.
It sounds like an open and shut case of copyright violation, but there's a caveat. The law distinguishes between material used for "public" performances and "private" performances.
Until now, that distinction has always been pretty clear. When TBS rebroadcasts The Big Bang Theory, it is considered a public performance and TBS must first pay CBS the requisite retransmission fees. However, if my daughter records an episode of The Big Bang Theory and watches it in her apartment, it is a private performance. In this case, she is exempt from paying such fees.
Aereo argues that because it transmits content to individual subscribers, its streaming service should be considered a private performance and is no different than installing an antenna on the roof of your house or rabbit ears on your TV set in order to get programming for free. The Aereo antenna is just a little smaller and slightly more expensive than the traditional antenna.
The broadcasters however, argue that the Aereo antenna is an infringement of copyright law because it retransmits content to a lot of people all at once, no different than erecting a giant television screen in Central Park, broadcasting a CBS program and charging admission to see it without compensating CBS.
The legal questions posed as a result of Aereo's streaming service are complex, and its journey to the Supreme Court has brought little clarity to the issue. Over the course of the past two years, broadcasters have filed two separate lawsuits against Aereo. Both cases had identical charges but entirely different outcomes—which is likely why the issue has been brought before the highest court in the land.
There is a lot riding on the Supreme Court's decision. If the justices determine Aereo's streaming service is in violation of copyright law, it could be the end for the small, tech start-up. Media members in the digital space have latched on to Aereo's underdog image and billed this as a new-age David vs. Goliath, penning such headlines as "Supreme Court Case: Startup vs. Broadcasters" as if the legal legitimacy of start-up companies was the issue at hand.
The leading (or misleading) headlines like this one paint a picture of greedy corporate broadcasters out to stifle innovation and open access when in fact, the potential ramifications of a Supreme Court ruling in favor of Aereo could be much more stifling and much more costly for the end-user. If the justices determine Aereo's rebroadcasting of content via streaming service is exempt from copyright, it could seriously threaten broadcast television as we know it.
Not only will more consumers part ways with their cable providers, but cable and satellite operators—who currently pay billions of dollars in retransmission fees—might develop the same technology used by Aereo to rebroadcast content for free. And with no one paying for it, the quality of content created will plummet. Broadcast's business model will be harmed and the industry along with it.
I like a good underdog story as much as the next guy, but in this case I'm siding with Goliath. David doesn't make anything, and what good is cheap access to TV if there's nothing of any quality left to watch?

Monarch Butterfly
Near Threatened
Scientific Name
Danaus plexippus
less than half a gram
Wingspan 4 IN.
Forests, Mountains
Monarch butterflies embark on a marvelous migratory phenomenon. They travel between 1,200 and 2,800 miles or more from the United States and Canada to central Mexican forests. There the butterflies hibernate in the mountain forests, where a less extreme climate provides them a better chance to survive. The monarch butterfly is known by scientists as Danaus plexippus, which in Greek literally means "sleepy transformation." The name evokes the species' ability to hibernate and metamorphize. Adult monarch butterflies possess two pairs of brilliant orange-red wings, featuring black veins and white spots along the edges. Males, who possess distinguishing black dots along the veins of their wings, are slightly bigger than females. Each adult butterfly lives only about four to five weeks.
- Habitats
New study shows 27% decrease in area occupied by monarch butterflies
The latest survey of monarch butterfly's winter habitat in Mexico is a stark reminder that these butterflies are in need of protection: The area occupied by the butterfly colonies has decreased 27% compared to last year's survey, which is conducted every winter at the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
Why They Matter
The monarch butterfly exhibits the most highly evolved migration pattern of any known species of butterfly or moth and perhaps any known insect.
Extinction Risk Near Threatened
No reasonable doubt that the last individual has died
Extinct in the Wild
Known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalised population
Critically Endangered
Facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the Wild
Facing a high risk of extinction in the Wild
Facing a high risk of extinction in the Wild
Near Threatened
Likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future
Least Concern
Does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, or Near Threatened
Habitat Loss
Monarchs need mountain forests in Mexico for their winter habitat, however nearby human communities also rely on them and create pressure on forests through agriculture and tourism activities.
In the U.S., monarchs need places to reproduce and feed. However, herbicide use is decreasing the availability of their primary food source, the milkweed plant (Asclepias).
Climate change threatens to disrupt the monarch butterfly's annual migration pattern by affecting weather conditions in both wintering grounds and summer breeding grounds. Colder, wetter winters could be lethal to these creatures and hotter, drier summers could shift suitable habitats north. WWF's 2013 report from Mexico showed that the number of monarch butterflies wintering there was at its lowest in 20 years. The number is measured by the amount of forest they occupy, and in 2013 the number of butterfly acres decreased from approximately seven to three. Abnormal patterns of drought and rainfall in the U.S. and Canada breeding sites may have caused adult butterfly deaths and less plant food for caterpillars. Fewer butterflies up north mean fewer then migrate south to Mexico for the winter.
What WWF Is Doing
WWF works to preserve vital butterfly habitat in Mexico's Monarch Butterfly Reserve by promoting good forest management and sustainable tourism. WWF also supports tree nurseries that help restore the forest in the Reserve which creates new sources of income for the local communities that live among the butterflies.
