Unverified Voracity Eyes The Jugular
MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY! This is probably going to be way less blood-spattered than the average person who might care about this would like, but it should be entertaining anyway: I'll be on Bacon's show on WTKA this afternoon… with Jim Carty! Carty's on at the beginning of the 4PM hour and I'll be joining him midway through. You can probably guess the topic: the dissolution of the Ann Arbor News. No, I'm not planning on getting into a really complicated discussion about the academics investigation that 15 minutes on a radio show can't do justice.
(One of these days, I promise, I will be on the radio to talk about football. Again, it's April.)
Christening. It looks like Michigan's going to open up their spectacular new renovated stadium next year with a terrific game against traditional power Massachusetts:
According to a source, it was Michigan that approached UMass about the game, which would be played at Michigan Stadium, which holds 106,201 for football.
"We'd like to, we want to, and we're looking into it," said UMass spokesman Jason Yellin.
Lame. Might as well get the yearly complaint out of the way: this is the worst thing about college football. Bill Martin's decision to extend the ND series until the sun expands was fine as long as Michigan would occasionally schedule an interesting second game, but that looks like it's never going to happen. When is Michigan going to agree to any series against an opponent respectable enough to demand a return game, even if it's a 2-for-1 situation? It doesn't have to be USC, but this is awful.
Two changes that will never get made that would improve things immeasurably: banning I-AA games and instituting a maximum of seven home games (or a minimum of five true road games, which would prevent things like Michigan vs New Mexico State at Ford Field from evading the directive). Since exactly zero people in the NCAA's hierarchy care about the people who pay for the entire enterprise, this will never happen.
Leaving as fast as possible in as many ways as possible. Lane Kiffin caused defections at Tennessee are up to a spectacular nine now, which is a lot more folk a lot faster than Rodriguez "ran off," to use the parlance of people who don't know what they're talking about. The latest is QB BJ Coleman, who actually appears to have gotten run off:
"It's the best move for me," Coleman told The Free-Press. "What changed my mind is, after this spring, I don't see myself getting a fair shake. Based on conversations with coaches and things that happened this spring, I feel the staff has goals that do not include me."
This brings Tennessee down to two scholarship quarterbacks, one of whom is terrible senior Jonathan Crompton. And yet Kiffin said no thanks to the two committed quarterbacks he inherited from Fulmer, including top-100 guy Tajh Boyd. Relevance to Michigan? Slight. I guess he's taking a lot of heat that might otherwise be directed at Rodriguez.
Despite the irrelevance, the mention is because he's instantly the most fascinating head coach in college football. He committed yet another stupid, minor recruiting violation recently, by the way. Of course he did. This could go towards Spurrier direction or John L Smith; I have no idea which it will be.
Smotcyz! Smotycrz! Smotycz! Smotrycz! There's an inside view into my Smotrycz spelling process for you. I plan on charging 9.95 a month for things like that soon*, so soak it up now while it's free.
Anyway, Michigan's most recent commit had another AAU weekend and there were a couple reports. This is from NBE:
Good height, but needs to get physically stronger before the Big 10. His size and skill away from the basket makes it look like he was made for John Beilein's system and he should get the most of his strengths at Michigan. Showed ability to slash to the basket, but needs to finish more often once in the paint, as evidenced by failing to convert on an easy lay-up. Added strength will help.
Kind of sounds like Deshawn Sims, no? Smotrycz is taller but probably not as athletic. Meanwhile at NERR:
Evan Smotrycz was the catalyst as the Michigan bound forward really brought his game to another level. Not only was he making shots from the perimeter, but he also showed a much improved dribble drive game, as he was able to break his man down with a right to left cross-over on more than one occasion. But it wasn't just his ability to score off the dribble that was so impressive as he also passed the ball tremendously well, acting as a facilitator in the second half with his ability to create open looks for his teammates.
Evan Smotrycz picked up right where he left off a day earlier as he was outstanding for the second consecutive day, making shots, breaking people down off the dribble, and passing the ball very well. It was his consistent excellence throughout the course of the weekend that helped propel the Rivals all the way to the finals before finally losing to a New Jersey Celtics team that featured top 50 junior Kyrie Irving and the nation's top sophomore Michael Gilchrist.
I'm getting a little skeptical of these reports from NERR because identical ones are showing up at Scott Hazelton's site. Hazelton runs a basketball school/camp sort of business and Smotrycz is a protégé. The glowing reports might not be 100% fair and balanced, then. Might want to scale those down to places where Smotrycz is not a titan astride basketball.
That's not to say the last two weeks haven't been very good for public perception of Smotrycz's game: every national pundit who's offered an opinion has been extremely positive, and most have brought him up apropos of nothing except his ability to ball.
*(not really)
In other basketball recruiting. UMHoops has a wider roundup for those interested, with the most important development being the apparent cooling off between NY PF Will Regan and Michigan. Regan's latest top five doesn't include Michigan. With Michigan still hot on the heels of Trey Zeigler and in need of another point guard after Kelvin Grady's transfer, both open slots in this class are probably going to guards or wings, which Regan is not.
Grady's transfer brings the 2010 class to at least three spots. I've suggested in the past that Michigan might take four depending on the NBA status of Manny Harris and the fifth year status of Anthony Wright, but it's been pointed out to me that Michigan would then be approaching the loaded instate class of 2011 with just one open slot unless there was unexpected attrition. That's something they probably won't want to do unless the hypothetical 2010 player they're taking is freakin' awesome.
More media machinating. So: a kind mention from John Bacon on his weekly NPR commentary (transcript here) amidst his take on the Ann Arbor News is going kaput. Carty takes issue with some of the numbers:
I'm a little skeptical that, as John claims, more people read MGoBlog during football season than purchase the Ann Arbor News (this is a metrics issue, not a shot at MGoBlog, but a question about the difficulty of measuring individual Internet visitors, vs. the 250,000-plus people a week who you know bought the News, because you have their money).
Carty's right as to the difficulty of measuring the relative readership across mediums. My stats are public in two flavors:
- Sitemeter, which measures pageviews and visits, and
- Quantcast, which does an awful lot of complicated stuff to come up with some demographic numbers.
The upshot, as far as I can tell: the blog does about 2 million pageviews a month now. By traditional internet accounting these hits come from about 110,000 monthly uniques, but Quantcast thinks that's about 2x too generous as far as the number of actual people who check the site. The Ann Arbor News has a circulation of about 45k, which by standard industry math corresponds to sixty trillion readers. So… draw your own conclusions. The mere fact that it's plausible is probably more interesting than the current winner.
More JMFC, and friends. To hockey recruiting now: Jack Campbell was interviewed by the Wolverine, and certainly sounds like a guy who will end up on campus by his scouting reports on teammates current and future:
Merrill - absolute stud. Enough said. Next JMFJ.
This is a man who is into Michigan hockey. The second, premium section of the interview($) contains another statement similar to the one discussed earlier, where Campbell professes his loyalty for Michigan before mentioning the dark possibility that the team that drafts him will be really into Sutter brothers and want him elsewhere. Chances of a defection remain slim but nonzero.
Elsewhere, 2010 D Kevin Clare was the subject of an extensive Red Line Report profile. After JMFJ2.0 and Adam Clendening were called up to the U18 team, Clare was handed increased responsibility on both ends of the ice and responded:
"With the departure of those two skilled players, Kevin has completely stepped up his game and shown to everybody that he has a lot more to his game than just being a hard-nosed, tough defenseman," remarked U-17 assistant coach John Wroblewski. "He is exceptional with the puck, cool under pressure and can handle the power play very well." …
"We look at him to be one of the harder players, to set the tone physically and to make sure that the opponent knew when he was on the ice," Wroblewski said. "The biggest thing with Kevin is lately he has shown such a great ability to go back for pucks and just read the situation on the breakout. As a defenseman, it is invaluable to have that knowledge and presence back there.
"On the opposite end of the puck, he has shown an absolute knack for knowing when to step up into the play and delivering pucks to the net. That has made him a great asset on the power play as well as 5-on-5."
Cool biographical tidbit: Clare's father is Irish, as in from-Ireland Irish, and played Gaelic football, but didn't want Clare to get into it because there's no professional opportunities.

By Wayne Smith
Hey, everyone. Wayne Smith here. Why me instead of Kevin today? Yeah, there's a story behind that.
Kevin was hit by a car on Sunday. He's ok, mostly, but his right arm was broken pretty badly. He had surgery yesterday, and things went well, so hopefully he'll be back to work soon. But we'll be without him for a while, and even when he's back, it will take a while for his right arm (which is kind of important for a right-handed artist and writer) to heal. We'll just have to work around it as best we can.
In the meantime, you're stuck with me, so I'll just get on with it.
The Rifts® Savage Sale is back for one final week

Houdini Regular Font by Solotype
Houdini was extemporized from the single word "Houdini" on a lithographed poster for the magician. The original was a shaded outline like our Houdini Shaded font, but we felt that a solid version would be worthwhile too.
Like the companion font Houdini, the shaded version was created from the single word Houdini on an old lithographed poster for the famous magician. The original was hand-lettered by a litho lettering artist.

Senate Democrats hint they may seat Franken before court action
ST. PAUL - Al Franken may be a U.S. senator before a Minnesota election lawsuit is resolved.
"Al Franken will soon be the next senator from the great state of Minnesota," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday. "The bipartisan Minnesota state Canvassing Board has counted all votes and certified Al Franken the winner."
Reid's statement came while Franken's attorneys were trying to convince judges to throw out Norm Coleman's election challenge. Coleman argues not all votes were counted.
Reports from Washington indicate that a meeting between Reid and Franken Wednesday included a discussion of Franken's committee assignments. That was not among items Franken's campaign staff said the two would talk about.
Franken Communications Director Andy Barr hinted that if offered, Franken will take a spot in the Senate ahead of a court resolution to the race.
"I think that's answered by the fact that he said that he understands and respects the Senate's decision," Barr said.
The Senate ultimately decides who will be seated.
Coleman was in Washington Wednesday, too, addressing Senate Republicans, conducting national media interviews and meeting with fund-raisers.
Coleman's GOP allies warned against trying to seat Franken before Coleman's contest is complete.
"If Al Franken truly believes he won this election, he should respect the laws of his state and allow this legal review to be completed," said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman.
Coleman's first term in the Senate ended earlier this month, leaving Minnesota short one of its two U.S. senators. Minnesota's governor and secretary of state say they cannot certify a winner until a court decides Coleman's legal challenge to the returns.
The Coleman-Franken contest was the secondary buzz in Washington Wednesday, a day after Barack Obama took all the headlines as the new president.
The Hill, a newspaper that covers the Capitol, reported that the two Minnesota Senate hopefuls "nearly crossed paths in the Capitol Wednesday during meetings with their party's leadership."
The newspaper reported that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said every one of his GOP colleagues thinks "the Minnesota Senate race will be decided in Minnesota and not in Washington."
Reid, on the other hand, told Washington reporters that Coleman's legal battle will be tough.
"There's no way that Coleman can win this," Reid said. "The numbers just aren't there."
In a St. Paul courtroom, an attorney for Franken told three judges that Coleman's lawsuit challenging the election result - which gave Franken 225 more votes - is flawed because the court has no authority to consider Coleman's arguments.
The U.S. Constitution and state and federal laws limit what a state court can consider in an undecided U.S. Senate race.
The judges only can determine who won the most "legally cast" ballots, Franken attorney David Burman said. He called Coleman's attempt to have the court review thousands of absentee ballots and explore other ballot issues "a fishing expedition."
The three-judge panel is precisely where ballot disputes must be settled to determine which candidate gained the most votes in the election, Coleman's attorney countered.
"We believe that now is the time and here is the place - this court - for this long election process to be concluded," Coleman attorney Jim Langdon said.
State Canvassing Board members, who certified the election results, and a Supreme Court justice said some ballot issues raised during the statewide recount were better left for an election contest, Langdon added.
Pennington County District Judge Kurt Marben, who led the hearing, said the judges would take the arguments under advisement. There is no deadline for a decision, but the court has scheduled a trial to begin Monday.
The hearing was trumped by developments in Washington.
Early Wednesday afternoon, CNN reported: "A Democratic source close to Franken added that the two would not discuss provisionally seating the Minnesota Senate hopeful, and that the meeting was to focus on the latest Senate business."
Later reports from Washington news organizations indicated committee assignments were being discussed.
The Huffington Post reported that Coleman dined with fellow Republicans in the Capitol's LBJ Room.
"Coleman will be spending the day, he said, doing one-on-one interviews with Washington-based reporters to update them on the situation in Minnesota," the Post reported
CNN indicated Coleman retained his sense of humor when asked about being a former senator and, possibly, the next senator: "I'm a Jewish kid from Brooklyn, but I think I know what purgatory is."

Freedom gives away Manti Te'o girlfriend bobblehead Thursday
Box was empty
The Florence Freedom gave away a Manti Te'o girlfriend bobblehead. Sort of.
On May 23 the Frontier League baseball team presented the boxed bobblehead to the first 1,000 fans through the gates.
The box was empty.
"This will be the best kind of bobblehead a fan could get," Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said previously in a news release. "Because now fans can make the bobblehead out to be whatever they want it to be."
"Section 115 will be blocked and reserved only for fans to sit with their imaginary friends, girlfriends/boyfriends or spouses," the team said.
Te'o, the star Notre Dame football player, came under scrutiny after a girlfriend he said died of leukemia turned out to never exist.

Taissa Farmiga emerged on the scene at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday (January 12).
The 'American Horror Story' up-and-coming starlet bucked the evening's penchant for longer gowns, instead opting for a youthful, off-white frock from Elie Saab's Spring 2014 collection.
The short dress was a charming one, what with its romantic, lacy layers. But the creamy colour nearly blended into her alabaster complexion, creating a bit of a plain, one-note effect.
Stuart Weitzman's 'Nudist' sandals did nothing to bring a much-needed punch of lively colour to the look, nor did her barely-pink lip.

As an information technology intern for the summer of 2013, one could reasonably expect Alexander Tenenbaum to sit behind a computer all day, troubleshooting issues and programming for clients. But the junior information technology major, known for his resourcefulness, faithfulness and perseverance, strategically secured an internship that perfectly blended not one, but two of his greatest passions.
Looking for an experience that would advance him both professionally and spiritually, Tenenbaum signed on with the Campus Crusade for Christ ministry in Boston, Mass. There, he completed information technology work and evangelized to college campuses including MIT, University of Massachusetts Boston and Northeastern University.
"Including me, there were eight interns from all across the country. On the Crusade team, we each had a 'day job' as well as a special assignment. Mine was spiritual development," Tenenbaum said. "I helped to prepare and host bible studies for the interns."
Through the many challenges of living with strangers, away from home and in a new city, Tenenbaum persevered so that he could learn more about his career field and spread God's word in the process.
"It is so important to be Christ-like to people," Tenenbaum said. "Visible actions like fixing houses and feeding the homeless are important but temporary. The houses will eventually need fixed again and the homeless will need fed again. Meanwhile, our spiritual interactions with them impacts eternity."
Tenenbaum said he felt prepared to host such interactions thanks to his participation in a prayer group at Waynesburg University and through his public speaking experiences and sociology classes. Working at the University's Help Desk in information technology between classes made him stand out when applying to the internship program.
"My sociology classes have really helped me to understand why people of different religions and cultures believe the things that they do," Tenenbaum said. "Waynesburg University has taught me to be more confident in my beliefs and to trust the Lord above all else."

Correction: or update depending on how you think of it.
Previously I had stated that if your regular every day kite was a 12, that your everyday Bandit would probably be a 10. I have found that this is incorrect for me and that my everyday kite is the 9.
Your mileage may vary, but this is the way it seems to me. But I do know of at least one other 80kg rider who uses the 9 exclusively.

JJ is giving Nicoline, James, and Choky a city tour. Nicole is a hot, Asian who lived in Russia and wants a Hungarian boyfriend. James and Choky just so happen to be Hungarian. JJ comes up with the idea that she can test drive the guys so she can see if she really wants a Hungarian. This idea is gets Nicole hot. She starts masturbating and sucking Chokys dick right in the car. JJ tells Nicole that soon all your dreams will come true as they pull up to his apartment. Nicole puts on a sexy, thin camisole and starts teasing the guys. It isnt long before she has two cocks in her hands and the test drive begins. James and Choky work their way from hole to hole like professional golfers and Nicole keeps up right along side. This tornado of sexual exploration cums to an end as Choky covers Nicoles stomach and James her face. From the look on her beautiful, smiling, cum-covered face it appears she still wants a Hungarian boyfriend, if not more so now.

Wilson Reis
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu first, then when I got my black belt I moved to Philadelphia to teach and compete in Jiu-Jitsu here and get into MMA too because it was already big here. My biggest motivation was to see Jiu-Jitsu guys doing very good in their fights using Jiu-Jitsu, and it was also another way to make a living in fighting. I started training MMA at Daddis fight camps with coach Brad Daddis, and my debut was in New Jersey in the summer of 2007.
What ranks and titles have you held? In BJJ I have a lot of titles. The most important was when I won the Mundials in 2004 in Rio as Brown Belt and got three third places in the year before. Second place in Brazilian nationals black belt 2006-2007. Several time Grapplers Quest champion in the US. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.
In MMA I won the Elite XC bantamweight title in 2008, a local event in Philadelphia - Locked in the cage - belt in 2009 and the Brazilian Promotion WFE belt in 2011.
Do you have any heroes? God
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means the world to me. Everything that I always wanted was to fight in the UFC, especially when they added my weight class. It is a dream come true and I am more than ready to live this dream now.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No. I finished high school in Brazil then moved here.
What was your job before you started fighting? I always worked in two Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools in Philadelphia - BJJ United and Tri State Martial Arts, and I am still working there.
Favorite grappling technique: Take the back and work from there
Favorite Striking technique: Overhand left

Ricoh Global Eco Action is an annual event held on the UN's World
Environment Day to raise the environmental awareness of Ricoh Group employees. On this day, the lights at Ricoh facilities and neon signs around the world are turned off, employees leave the office on time, and participating offices, departments, and individuals also take various actions of their choice. To promote greater participation, the Corporate Environment Division invited Group employees around the globe to join the program via a range of media that included posters in different languages, PC wallpapers, emails, and in-house broadcasting messages.
"Initially, participants were required to pre-register and send participation reports using the Intranet so that the amount of CO2 emissions saved by Eco Action could be evaluated. Over time, the network of participants has expanded externally to include employee families and friends, customers, neighboring corporations, and governmental organizations, which has made it difficult to calculate the total number
of participants and the benefits achieved by the program, "said Hiroko Hayashi, a staff member who is involved in promoting Eco Action.
"In the course of expanding the program globally, we were faced with several challenges associated with different organizations/workplaces, local characteristics, attitudes, and more.
We have strived to address these challenges through trial and error, attempting new ideas each year. For instance, the event originally took place on the summer solstice, but is now on the globallyobserved UN World Environment Day. Recognizing that the policy of no overtime work and no lights after hours is effective in Japan where people tend to work long hours, but may not be so in a country or office where the staff usually leave the office relatively early, now specific local activities are designed and determined locally to be effective in each office. We have also extended the program duration in response to the increasing number of participating offices implementing the Eco Action program for a certain period, rather than as a one-day event," said Hayashi. As a result, eco actions that fit national and local characteristics and situations are here to stay, and good practices in one location have become embedded in other locations almost contagiously. Satoko Fushimi, who joined the promotion team in fiscal 2008, agrees on the significance of the global implementation of the program based on her first-hand observations. "Our firm in the Netherlands named the campaign to encourage commuting without cars as 'Give Your Car a Break,' which would have been dubbed 'No Commuting by Car' or something similar in Japan. Viewing eco actions from a positive angle, rather than perceiving them as constraints or something to bear, will help the activities continue to move forward and take root. Changing into such a positive mindset would not have happened effectively if the program had been implemented only within Japan. The purpose of environmental awareness building is to develop positive attitudes toward green actions," said Fushimi. Now is the time for people around the world to change their mindset toward the global environment and create a sustainable society. We at the Ricoh Group believe that the Eco Action network will become part of the solution for this.
A wide range of activities, including cleaning up local communities, turning off the lights on advertising towers and billboards, limited use of elevators, and leaving the office on time, were implemented concurrently at all Ricoh sites across the country. At Ricoh IT Solutions Co., Ltd., 98% of its workforce or 994 employees left the office on time (the remaining 2% took care of operational duties). Comments from the employees include "I had the opportunity to talk about the environment with my family," and"I had not come home early for a long time. I enjoyed doing things that I had no time to do before." At Ricoh Head Office, employees were encouraged to cultivate their green attitude through, for example, a discussion on the theme of waste reduction in the office cafeteria.
Eco Action has become an established nationwide program in Singapore as a result of collaborative promotional efforts by Ricoh Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (regional sales headquarters), Ricoh (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (sales subsidiary) and the Singapore Environmental Council (NGO), who invited many organizations in the country to join the initiative. In its third year, 2009, the Eco Action program had a greater number of participants than ever before: 43 organizations from the governmental, academic, business, and other communities. Actions taken included switching the lights off during predetermined hours, setting air conditioners at higher temperatures, and reducing paper use. Together, these efforts saved 7,767 kWh of power, or approx. 5 tons of CO2 equivalents.
In Europe, a growing number of highly motivated eco actions have taken place. Examples include the "Give Your Car a Break" campaign at Ricoh Europe (Netherlands) B.V., and Ricoh International B.V. with Ricoh Europe SCM B.V. encouraging employees to commute by public transport or bicycles or by car sharing. The air pressure in the tires of corporate vehicles was also checked to avoid unnecessary CO2 emissions. In addition, employees of Ricoh Hungary Kft. worked with members of the National Society of Conservationists as well as ornithologists and ornithology students of Eötvös Loránd University to repair wooden paths in the Bird Sanctuary in Ócsa, within the Duna-Ipoly National Park. The paths are necessary for bird protection. Meanwhile, Ricoh Deutschland GmbH participated in a nationwide campaign to commute by bicycle to promote environmental and human health, in which 65 Ricoh employees biked to work for 20 days or more.
Ricoh Americas Corporation, the regional sales headquarters, vigorously promoted environmentally and budget friendly activities, such as carsharing, carpools, and sharing the ride. Ricoh Canada Inc., a sales subsidiary, implemented the "Use Less Power" program jointly with several local companies to reduce electricity consumption based on advice from ergonomics specialists. Following the success of the initial implementation, the program has been rolled out in all Ricoh and IKON offices in Canada.
As part of the Eco Action program, Ricoh China Co., Ltd., the regional sales headquarters, and Changning District in Shanghai jointly held a "World Environment Day Promotion Event." Such an awareness raising event as part of the Eco Action program in China, established as a collaborative event with the local government, evolved from a program by a single corporation. At the venue in the Jinju Residence Community, many citizens of various ages reaffirmed their green commitment by chanting the phrase, "Together let us protect beautiful Changning District, Shanghai, China, and the Earth." In addition, the head office of Ricoh China kept the lights off on its advertising tower and billboards during the night of the Eco Action day and all the
employees left the office on time at 5:30 p.m.

ATLANTA (AP) — The guys from Division II have next.
And Drury will be playing for its first Division II national championship when the Panthers play Metro State in Sunday's final.
Drury carries a 22-game winning streak into the final. The game is being played at Philips Arena, which sits near the Georgia Dome, home of the Final Four. The Division II follows the Division III championship game; Amherst beat Mary Hardin-Baylor 87-70 to win that title.
Drury, from Springfield, Mo., is sending five busloads of students to Atlanta.
Metro State is no newcomer to the national championship scene. The school from Denver won national titles in 2000 and 2002 under Mike Dunlap, now the Charlotte Bobcats' coach. Metro State now is coached by Derrick Clark, who was an assistant on Dunlap's staff.

text: Eliminate the Grey Areas December 23, 2013 02:47 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By: Lisa A. Holden, Associate Professor of Dairy and Animal Science, Penn State Extension Look for those "grey areas" that may be costing you money and workers. Taking steps to eliminate the grey – creating SOPs that are used and having good conversations daily – can be two steps forward towards a better environment for you and your workforce. One recent discussion with some dairy producers turned a bit philosophical when it came to workers on the dairies. One said, "You've got to keep things simple, otherwise you can create too many problems to manage." A fellow producer agreed and emphasized the need to keep good workers rather than risk turnover and retraining. The conversation ebbed and flowed and eventually moved on to other topics, but a few questions remain. Should producers change management practices to accommodate employees? Are good workers such a hot commodity that producers trade high expectations for worker longevity? Is a stable, skilled workforce out of reach? Dairy owners and managers have an enormous amount of information at their fingertips, and they develop sets of "best practices" for various areas of the operation based on this information. For example, parlor routines are based on the basic biology of oxytocin release created by a good prep procedure, appropriate prep-lag times, etc. The research data is available; the understanding of that data is information useful at the farm level, but what about the implementation – putting it into practice? It's the "grey area" that is the hand off between manager and worker. The manager has the information, knows the proper methods, understands the importance and the economic implications of good vs bad practices – BUT how does that get translated to the front line workers. "Grey areas" allow for interpretation (sometimes incorrectly) of how to complete a task, even those seemingly simple tasks like milking, feeding, or cleaning up. So what's the answer to question #1 above, should we adjust management to make it easier for workers? Isn't this lowering the bar? Would it be better to SET the standard based on current knowledge and best practices, then train and enforce that standard? By eliminating that "grey area" with a good standard operating procedure (SOP) – maybe with some photos, bi-lingual with correct wording – managers can better define correct and incorrect practices. Training workers for correct ways with an SOP and building understanding within the workforce will allow for better enforcement when workers may be moving back to old habits or incorrect practices. With some time and effort, it can be both simple and effective. What about the second question – keeping good workers? Would you be likely to stay at a job where what you were doing and how you were expected to do it were unclear (those grey areas again)? We have all heard the phrase that "cows crave consistency;" well, so do people. Good managers create good workers by letting them know what to expect, what is important, and also what is not acceptable or tolerated – often before those problems arise. Communication is likely the biggest "grey area" on the farm. Often workers may be unsure of how to complete a task, and rather than ask questions, they use the knowledge that they have to complete it as best they can. Their methods might not be correct, or the task might not get done at all. Managers are then faced with costly mistakes, doing or redoing, and correcting workers – frustrating for both managers and workers. A better approach would be to anticipate problem areas (find the grey) and explain, break down steps, use SOPs, and have detailed conversations. If you ask, "Do you understand?" – I will say YES. If you ask, "Can you show me how you do this?" – we will both learn something. Workers want to stay out of the grey, so better conversations and more clarity can result in more skilled workers that want to stay on your dairy. Simple, yet effective. So that stable, skilled workforce may not quite be within reach, especially given the current climate for immigration reform, but look at the workforce that you have. Look for those "grey areas" that may be costing you money and workers. Taking steps to eliminate the grey – creating SOPs that are used and having good conversations daily – can be two steps forward towards a better environment for you and your workforce. Back to news

I thought the inq's fall off after year? The charge off that wasn't included is from University of Phx. I didn't think I could include it in my BK because it was educational, but now I am starting to think maybe I could have. I don't have the $2200 to pay it off now, or even do a settlement. Probably not until tax returns I have never been able to save a dime in my life, I am horrible at it. BUT slowly and surely I am starting to. I opened a checking/savings with NFCU and I have just $25 direct deposited twice a month, so that is my savings for now. I have been with Wells fargo for a year, and they are not my fave bank so I was able to get an account with a local CU today, and they are working on reconsidering my credit card that I apped for 2 weeks ago. The guy was incredibly nice and understanding, he asked me about every single thing on my credit and I told him the situation at the time. He made it very clear that they are not solely about gaining business, but about maintaining member relationships and helping them get back on their feet when everyone else turns them down for credit. I won't have an answer til monday, but worst case scenario, he said they will offer me a shared secured loan to start with. I am totally ok with that, and trust me, DONE apping! I am going to have to get the hang of the "gardening" concept and commit to it for at least 6 months! Our lease is up in 7, and we want a house SO badly!
I had the same thing from UoPheonix. You can absolutely include it because it is not a federal student loan. Mine was 10k.
Well it's too late now! Will paying it off improve my score at all?
Oct 2009
Everyone is correct. Patience is the key. I was discharged in 2007 and have been slowly re-building. Credit card here and there, maybe every 6 months to a year before trying another one. Multiple applications hurt your credit.
I only have maybe a total of 20K in credit card credit. Keep the balances low!
When you are ready to pay that CO, you should try to do a pay for delete. If they refuse, you should still pay, but then try to get a goodwill removal after that. If that fails, take comfort in the knowledge that if your goal is to eventually buy a house, the mortgage company will require any and all collections and charge offs to show as paid.
You are at a good start. Keeping saving, using your cards, paying everything on time, garden what you have, and you should see a rise in your scores over the course of the next year or two.
Good luck! (NO MORE APPING!! )
Thank you And congrats to the poster with an 801 score! That is awesome after a ch 7 BK! I wish I had known about secured cards and all this rebuilding info right after my bk was discharged, I would be in a much better position to buy a house. That is the plan in 7 months. So I will have to pay off the charge off account regardless? I was told that since I can't put my husband on the loan(complicated) they can only use me and my income, and since it's only like $26000 a year right now(I just started working this year) then it will be difficult to get a decent house with my income. Not that it has anything to do with credit, I got side-tracked.
I called all of the cc companies to find out my statement closing date to make sure that my cards are paid down or off by that date every month. I am going to hang out in the garden as long as possible to get some of those older inq's to fall off. I am completely open to any other suggestions or advice to get the ball rolling! Apparently, this is a very long process...
On a side note, I checked all 3 CR yesterday and in the past month I successfully had 3 judgements removed that were included in my BK but were still reporting. TU told me that they will still report, just as "included in bk" so I disputed them again, and yay, all were deleted and only the BK remains as a public record. I have written to GW letters, my first ever, and I will send them off today. One is to Chase Auto, for a car loan 4 years ago that ended up being totaled and we made a settlement for the balance owing, but they still reported two payments as 30 and 60 day late. Also one other GW for a small medical collection that was paid last month, $70, that they said they wouldn't delete, but I figure a gw letter won't hurt. Wish me luck!
Thanks for all the advice!

|Redskins | Woodson in long-term plans
Tue, 08 Sep 2009 06:11:06 -0700
The Associated Press reports Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn insisted QB Andre' Woodson was not only signed for this week so that he can help reveal information about the New York Giants, Washington's Week 1 opponent. "Oh, yeah. Yeah," Zorn said. "And that's something that I would be frustrated with, too, and I do understand that, that it makes it look like we're jumping on that, but that wasn't the major issue with the find." Zorn said the Redskins scouted Woodson coming out of college and decided to take a chance on him after the Giants released him.

|Giants | Defend Bomar selection
Mon, 27 Apr 2009 06:39:53 -0700
Mike Garafolo, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese defended the pick of QB Rhett Bomar in the NFL Draft by saying Bomar or QB Andre' Woodson could serve as an insurance policy for a potential departure of QB David Carr down the road. "We drafted Woodson last year. We still like Woodson," Reese said before he could even be asked about what Bomar's arrival means for Woodson. "I know people will start to write him off right away, but that's not true. Who knows how long David Carr will be here?" Head coach Tom Coughlin added Bomar represented good value for the team. "The scouts had very good grades on Bomar," Coughlin said. "There were a lot of people in the room who, when Bomar was picked, stood up and talked about the value of that individual at that time."

Click here to print the obituary below
Huell Howser
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Huell Howser, the homespun host of public television's popular "California's Gold" travelogues, has died at age 67.
Howser died at his home Sunday night from natural causes, said Ayn Allen, corporate communications manager for KCET. No other details were available.
For years, "California's Gold" took viewers to many parts of the Golden State, with Howser doing folksy, highly enthusiastic interviews and narration in a distinctive twang he brought with him from his native Tennessee.
Howser also appeared in such other series about California as "Visiting with Huell Howser" and "Road Trip with Huell Howser."
"Huell elevated the simple joys and undiscovered nuggets of living in our great state," a KCET statement said. "He made the magnificence and power of nature seem accessible by bringing it into our living rooms. Most importantly, he reminded us to find the magic and wonderment in our lives every day. Huell was able to brilliantly capture the wonder in obscurity. From pastrami sandwiches and artwork woven from lint to the exoticism of cactus gardens and the splendor of Yosemite - he brought us the magic, the humor and poignancy of our region."
Howser received a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee and began his TV career at WSM-TV in Nashville, according to the Huell Howser Productions website. He hosted a magazine-style series at WCBS-TV in New York City and then went to Los Angeles in 1981 to work as a
for KCBS-TV.
In 1987, he moved to KCET to produce a program called "Videolog," the predecessor to "California's Gold."
KCET planned to air special on Howser Monday night.

Bulgaria's Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov informed top-level government officials today of the conclusions reached after six months of investigation. The report states the two individuals responsible for the attack entered Bulgaria with Canadian and Australian passports and their funding and forged documentation can be traced to Lebanon. Israel has long maintained that Hezbollah was behind the attack and this is the first confirmation by a European government that it was indeed the terrorist organization.
"We have well-grounded reasons to suggest that the two were members of the militant wing of Hezbollah," Tsvetanov said at a press conference after a meeting of Bulgaria's National Security Council. "We expect the government of Lebanon to assist in the further investigation."
"It's encouraging to see the Bulgarian government put the blame on Hezbollah for these murders when so many in Europe turn a blind eye to the group's terrorist activities," B'nai B'rith International President Allan J. Jacobs said. "Too often members of the EU conveniently ignore the violence of Hezbollah and insist it is merely a political organization. Hopefully this report will strip Hezbollah of any claim of legitimacy and finally allow people to see it for what it is—a violent and dangerous terrorist organization."
While the United States, Israel, the Netherlands and Canada all list Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, the EU ignores that and instead continues to view Hezbollah as a political party as the group controls much of the Lebanese government and minimizes its terrorist activities.
"By releasing this report, the Bulgarians have made an important move in presenting the true face of Hezbollah to Europe," B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin said. "The EU continually drags its feet on classifying Hezbollah as a terrorist organization when there's so much evidence to the contrary. With Bulgaria now putting the blame on Hezbollah after a thorough investigation, the rest of the EU should remove its blinders and immediately designate Hezbollah for what it is."

EDMONTON – The former chief executive of Alberta's health superboard says he took flak from provincial politicians for not having "fix-it" people in place to help some people get preferential access to care.
But when Stephen Duckett was asked to name names Tuesday, he could come up with only one.
"A number of MLAs, but amongst others that I recall was Raj Sherman," Duckett told the public inquiry looking into queue jumping in Alberta.
An emergency room doctor by trade and a former parliamentary assistant health minister in the government, Sherman has been a central defender of Alberta's health care.
He was bounced from the Tories for his criticism of the system and went on to become Liberal leader. As leader of the Grits, he was one of the most prominent politicians calling for the inquiry.
Lawyer Michele Hollins pressed Duckett for more.
There were some rural members of the legislature, Duckett said, but Sherman was the only name he could recall.
"I can't remember the names of them, sorry," Duckett said.
Requests for an interview with Sherman were denied through the party. His staff said he would address the allegations when he testifies himself next week.
Duckett is a key witness at the inquiry, which was called by Premier Alison Redford last February before the provincial election in the face of criticism from the opposition.
An Australian who was recruited by the province, Duckett took over as CEO of Alberta Health Services — the delivery arm of health care in the province — in March 2009.
But his tenure was tumultuous. Wait lists were long and there was controversy around steps taken to corral a ballooning deficit. He left the job in the fall of 2010 when he refused to talk to reporters following an emergency board meeting, saying he was busy eating a cookie.
Duckett testified Tuesday via video from Australia, a box of cookies clearly displayed on a desk behind him.
He said preferential treatment for prominent patients was an accepted practice before the creation of the superboard, when care was delivered by a network of smaller health regions, each with their own "fix-it people" at their helms.
But Duckett said he never asked for specific examples of queue-jumping when he took over Alberta Health Services because he wasn't interested in dredging up the past.
Instead, he said he wanted to make sure that queue jumping was stopped.
"It didn't seem to me to be productive to do a witch hunt to find out who had done this in the past," Duckett told the inquiry.
"What was important was going forward on this issue and the past was the past as far as I was concerned and what I was interested in doing was ensuring that the practice stopped."
Duckett took retired judge John Vertes through what he meant by "fix-it people."
He said the CEOs in some of the larger regions, the Capital Health Region in Edmonton in particular, would deal with members of the legislature and other prominent people to fix "basically anything," from the allocation of health dollars to preferential access to care.
Duckett said he instituted a policy in May 2009 where all requests for special access would go through him to relieve any pressure on local officials. His board supported him, but he said he faced criticism from members of the legislature.
Duckett testified that with his new policy in place, he never saw a request for special treatment during his time in the office.
However, he said in hindsight a special flu shot clinic for the Calgary Flames hockey team was wrong.
The Flames and their family were given their shots while thousands of Albertans waited in line when the H1N1 scare was at its peak in the fall of 2009. Two health services employees were eventually fired over the affair.
Duckett noted that a similar request from the Edmonton Oilers was turned down.
There were also differing versions offered Tuesday of how a memo that outlined queue jumping practices came to be.
Duckett suggested it was initiated by Dr. David Megran, who is now chief medical officer for AHS.
"He intimated to me that (under) previous leaderships, there was an acceptance of preferential access and he wanted to know what my views were."
But Megran testified that he was not aware of special treatment in the health care system and said Duckett was the one who asked him to write the memo.
"I don't recollect the specifics of how or why he asked me."
Redford ordered the inquiry in February after the Alberta Health Quality Council released a scathing report of abuse and mismanagement in the system.
The council heard from many doctors who said that when they complained about poor patient care, they were bullied or even fired.
Redford initially said the inquiry would look into the bullying allegations, but later ordered the inquiry to focus on queue jumping — although she clarified it can follow the evidence where it goes.
Vertes, a retired senior judge on the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, is to hear from 10 witnesses during its first week in Edmonton. It is scheduled to wrap up Jan. 18 in Calgary.
